Chi! Chi! Chi!

As the flame burned the meat, a crackling sound was heard. The sauce blended in with the meat gradually.

Li Nianfan slathered more sauce on it again again.

He then repeated this process six more times!

After that, he smashed another apple. The big bowl of honey was already half-empty.

The Fire Phoenix shook its head. What a pity. So much honey was brushed on the boar’s meat. More importantly, most of the honey was wasted because of the grilling! This was the perfect definition of waste!

Even to a phoenix, it felt pitiful. The others, even the Immortals, would instantly have a heart attack.

After being brushed with so much honey, the meat seemed like it was glowing, almost as if it was coated by a layer of gold.

Sizz! Sizz! Sizz!

Not long after, golden globules of fat started oozing out, dripping down the ribs and into the flames burning beneath the grill.

Swiftly after, a thick fragrance wafted into the air, filling the entire yard.

With one gentle sniff, the aroma washed over them like a flood, taking over one’s senses and making their brains unable to think or do anything.

The only thing one could do was to savor this fragrance.

“Smells so good!”

The Fire Phoenix shivered and was instantly snapped back to reality. It stared at the roasted meat.

What kind of fragrance was this?

It had tasted many treasures in the world and felt that only the Spiritual Herbs and Fruits had fragrance, perhaps even the Immortal Qi or Water.

The ordinary men’s so-called fragrance did not exist in its dictionary! So low!

However, in this instance, it had to admit that this fragrance deeply captivated it. Its desire to taste it was way beyond that of the Spiritual Herbs or Fruits.

Was this the food of the…ordinary realm?

What about this fragrance?

‘What’s this sensation in my stomach? Once the fragrance entered my stomach, it seemed to have solidified and rolled around in my stomach. It’s making a gulping sound.’

What power was this? So mysterious! So unbelievable!

Since its birth, this was the first time the Fire Phoenix felt hunger from smelling food.

Gulp!

It could not help swallowing mouthfuls of saliva. It found it hard to look away from the grill. All it could think of was, ‘I want to eat it!’

The Firefinch Demon that had been curled up in the corner had gone insane! As if it was sleepwalking it was flying toward the aromatic smoke in the air.

Sizz! Sizz! Sizz!

As time passed, more fats oozed out from the meat, making a loud sizzling sound as they fell like raindrops.

However, this sound worked along with the fragrance to increase one’s appetite.

The Fire Phoenix was usually arrogant, especially when facing food that was below its standards.

However, though it had used its entire will to resist, it still could not help inching its head forward.

The fragrance! The fragrance!

Finally, the Fire Phoenix could not hold it anymore. It asked, “How long do we have to wait?”

This fragrance was definitely the biggest temptation it had faced in its entire life. It lured out its basic desire. How terrifying!

The phoenix would not exchange anything for one piece of this meat! If not, it would regret it for the rest of its life!

Li Nianfan had been paying close attention to the Fire Phoenix. He was feeling good inside out.

It seemed that his food-tactic was working!

The most delicious food in the world belonged here. If it had cravings, it could only come here!

It was indeed easier for a versatile man to survive in all realms.

Li Nianfan smiled.”It’s ready.”

Instantly, the eyes of Daji, the Fire Phoenix, and the Firefinch Demon sparkled. Blackie also stood up and walked toward them.

Li Nianfan made a gesture with the knife in his hands, causing it to sparkle. The ribs were cut into a few rows. He handed them out to them.

The Fire Phoenix could not help staring at the meat in front of its eyes. A faint layer of golden yellow oil covered the surface of the meat. The fats were mixed with the honey, and the crispy roasted skin was a yellowish-black. The meat looked as if it was waving at its eaters and saying, “Hurry up, come and bite me!”

A wave of fragrance rushed into its nose. The Fire Phoenix could not hold it in anymore. It lowered its head and used its beak to grab a piece of meat.

Gulp!

No biting. It swallowed the meat right away.

Even so, the flavors still burst in its mouth. A sense of fulfillment came from its stomach, as if its emptiness had been filled up.

The Fire Phoenix had a glint of dissatisfaction in its eyes. It retracted its wings and turned into the form of a human. Her elegant fingers wrapped around the rib as she ate it without caring about her image any longer.

Bite!

As the crispy skin touched her teeth, a crisp sound rang in the air. The honey sweetly blended with the spices and the taste of the pork rib. Its texture was something she had never encountered before, along with the fragrance that almost overwhelmed her taste buds. It made the Fire Phoenix close her eyes unconsciously as a low moan escaped from her throat. “Argh! Nice!”

Li Nianfan was shocked. He stared blankly at the woman who was eating rapidly beside him. “You can turn into a human?”

“Isn’t that the most basic ability?” The Fire Phoenix no longer cared about what Li Nianfan thought. All she could think of was the pork rib.

She had been thinking of how to perform her act. Now, she realized how foolish it was. No acting was needed in front of food as delicious as this. Being honest was the best performance ever.

Was this the happiness of an expert? So envious!

Crack, crack, crack!

Somehow, the crispy sound made Li Nianfan’s scalp itchy.

To be fair, the woman that the Fire Phoenix transformed into was very beautiful. Extremely beautiful! If Daji was gentle and pure, the Fire Phoenix was hot and unique.

However, when a beautiful lady like her was using her small lips to munch on the big rib as if it was nothing, it was a visual attack! So scary!

1

This was a big rib! Very big, long, and hard! Yet, she easily cracked it with her teeth, biting the meat along its bone!

Gasp…

What a scary small mouth!

Li Nianfan could not help shivering. So wild! No wonder it was a phoenix! It had a strong mouth and teeth!

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Beneath the table, Blackie called out in injustice!

‘What do you mean?’

‘Although I’m supposed to be an ordinary dog, you’re obviously stealing my bone! Do you want me to unfriend you!’

…

At the same time in the Azure Ville.

Gu Changqing flew out from the Azure Ville looking serious. He landed on an empty mountain with a glowing ancestry stone in his hands.

He asked, “Grandpa, the view’s nice and there’s nobody around. It’ll be good to reside here. I’ll light up two incense sticks for you. What do you think?”

“Okay, here’s good,” Gu Yuan’s voice rang. “Set the stone down and summon me, the way you usually do.”

“Okay,” Gu Changqing nodded. He took a deep breath and spat a mouthful of blood on the stone.

Vroom!

Suddenly, the stone started to vibrate, creating ripples in the air.

All the disciples of the Azure Ville had gathered here. Payne and Gu Yuan stood within the formation.

Payne had five Firefinch Demons tied around his waist who were looking helpless.

Gu Yuan’s face changed as he said, “Sect Master, my Grandson has already opened up the portal.”

Payne nodded and said, “Thank you, everyone. Turn on the Delivery Array, send us to the Immortal Realm!”

With that, he cast a spell. Instantly, the formation below his feet lit up.

Unlimited Spiritual Qi started to accumulate and a gust of strange energy started to gather within the formation.

The Big Elder raised his hands to push the Spiritual Qi into the formation. “Start now. We’ll work together to help our Sect Master!”

1

Instantly, many disciples joined hands. Countless Spiritual Lights flashed in the air and rushed toward the formation.

The Spiritual Qi had turned into wind blades that were so powerful they seemed to be able to cut through everything.

It did not take long for the Spiritual Qi windstorm to turn into a tornado storm.

Clash!

The empty space in front of them seemed to be cut open. It looked like a crack in a mirror.

Payne’s face darkened. He said, “Be ready, we’re crossing the realm!”

In the Immortal Realm.

Layers of dark clouds started to gather in the sky. A phantom gradually appeared in the middle of the clouds. There was also a golden gate.

Sacred, majestic air exuded out from the gate.

Gu Changqing’s face darkened as he was familiar with this sight. He mumbled, “Heavenly Gate.”

As time passed, the phantom of the Heavenly Gate became clearer. Finally, the ringing of the clock resonated in the air.

A golden ray of light shined down.

The Heavenly Gate was opened!

Two figures appeared below the Heavenly Gate.

Payne glanced around at his surroundings. He could not help making a remark, “It’s been more than ten thousand years. I don’t remember this place anymore. Who’d have thought I’d be back again!”

Vroom!

The dark clouds in the sky had thickened. There were sounds of thunder shaking the world.

Payne quickly took off the five Firefinch Demons around his waist. He handed it to Gu Changqing with a serious face and said, “You have to keep the five chickens well. These are the specialties from home I brought for the expert. I’m going to Cross Tribulate, I’ll be right back.”

With that, he and Gu Yuan went away on a cloud.

Somehow, the night had fallen. The four-part architecture was engulfed by the darkness.

Li Nianfan was lying in bed. He was unable to calm down for a long time. He was excited.

The Fire Phoenix was actually going to stay here! Perhaps it did not have a place to live after coming down to this realm, or perhaps it really liked the food that he made. Whatever the reason was, it was a good sign that the phoenix stayed!

It was an Ancient Beast and it could even transform into an extremely beautiful woman! The thought of living with her under the same roof was so exciting!

The phoenix moved in and he gained a thousand years of lifespan!

What happened today was like a dream. In a blur, Li Nianfan gradually fell asleep. That night, he slept tight…
