Chapter 377: It’s Not Your Turn To Hit Others
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

There were only several tens of people in the spacious inner hall, but each one was a powerful expert who had great influence in various regions. Numerous dishes of expensive tonic soup wafting with rich aromas were being carried out.

At this time, Bei Feng seemed to have turned into a devil from the abyss as he attempted to tempt Wang Yuyan into making a deal with himself.

Wang Yuyan fell silent for a long while, not replying.

Bei Feng had a sly smile on his face as he leaned back in his chair. The fish had already swallowed the hook. All he needed to do now, was to wait.

All the experts were gathered in groups and sitting together. Bei Feng’s group of three also occupied an entire table.

Various types of delicious and rare dishes were placed on the table. However, these ingredients did not contain a single shred of spirit energy within them. At the most, they could only be considered as nourishing tonics.

After some time, numerous small claypot dishes were brought to every guest.

As the lids of the claypot were lifted up lightly, a rich aroma immediately burst out, meeting the noses of everyone.

“This is a Demonic Beast egg? Interesting.”

A light smile appeared on Bei Feng’s face as he looked at the intact egg the size of a chicken’s egg, as well as the whole pigeon in the claypot.

The main subject of this dish was not the pigeon. Rather, it was the ordinary-looking egg. This egg was an ingredient that had already exceeded the levels of ordinary ginseng, bird’s nest, and so on. It could be considered a Grade 1 level of ingredient.

A thousand year ginseng could also be considered as a Grade 1 spirit herb. A mutated thousand year ginseng could even reach Grade 2. But anything below a thousand years were considered as ordinary herbs.

The pigeons were also something that were specially raised by the Wang Clan—the blood pigeons!

The nutritional value of these pigeons was eight to ten times higher than that of ordinary pigeons. From the time they were squabs [ED/N: Pigeon chicks], these pigeons were fed with expensive herbs like ginseng, solomon’s seal, fuling, and more.

It could be said that every single pigeon here had consumed an inestimable amount of precious herbs just to reach maturity. Every pigeon required at least a million yuan to raise!

Several tens of these pigeons was being served up at this point. That was a huge expenditure!

But the most precious food here was still the egg. Bei Feng couldn’t tell what animal the egg came from, but based on its spiritual energy level, it had definitely reached the level of Grade 1.

Of course, compared to these eggs and pigeons, the gifts the Wang Clan had received were more than enough to cover the cost. It was a completely profitable deal without any loss.

This dish was considered as a specialty dish of the region, and was named Zimu Hui! [1]

It was originally a dish made with mother pigeons and the pigeons’ eggs, thus the name.

But now, this dish had been modified greatly. The original dish was already very nutritious for a human. Now that the ingredients used to cook it were of such a high quality, one could say that as long as a normal person took a bite out of it, their bodies would not be able to take the overly strong tonic, and they would have blood gushing out of their noses!

Bei Feng lightly tore a piece of meat from the pigeon with his chopsticks and placed it into his mouth. The meat was not as soft as a normal pigeon’s, but it was more tender and chewier.

The skin was roasted into a nice yellowish brown, and the meat inside was light pink.

Bei Feng chewed slowly, allowing the taste to sit on his tongue for a moment. Although the quality of the meat was much lower than what he’d become used to, it was still extremely fragrant in terms of taste.

Perhaps it was because the pigeons had been fed with precious herbs for a long time and the herbal taste had already melded into every part of the pigeon. Its taste was fresh and tender, containing a faint bitterness unique to medicinal herbs. To Bei Feng, this was already not bad.

After that, he turned his attention to the unknown Demonic Beast egg. The egg white had a very faint pinkish hue and numerous fine patterns interweaving across its surface like a painting of mountains and water landscape.

The egg shell had already been removed long ago. Bei Feng picked up the egg with his chopsticks. From the bit of tension on his chopsticks, he could feel the shocking elasticity of the egg.

Upon further examination, countless mini-pores could also be seen all over the egg.

Biting down lightly, the tender egg white and the egg yolk combined released a wave of strange taste in the mouth.

It didn’t taste bad, but there was an indescribable kind of taste that, although was strange, caused one to be attracted by it.

The egg yolk did not taste dry and coarse like in other eggs. Instead, it was filled with juice. From the looks of it, the reason for the pores was so that the broth and sauce could seep directly into the egg while cooking.

Bei Feng nodded his head with appreciation. These ingredients could already be considered as first rate on Earth. The chef’s skills were also pretty good. It was sufficient to say that the dish had been greatly improved.

As for the other dishes, Bei Feng did not even bother to touch them at all.

The reason for this was simple. For someone who feasted on heavenly delicacies everyday, he might consider it as an interesting experience to go to a normal cafe and taste a little of the local specialties. But if that person was told to eat all the common food, he would definitely not do it.

This was the case for Bei Feng as well. After he got used to eating extremely high grade Demonic Beast meat every day, he would naturally have little interest in such plain food.

Furthermore, with Bei Feng’s current appetite, if he wanted to rely on eating ordinary food to feel full, he would have to ditch all his activities and do nothing all day except eating!

Ordinary food could not provide the amount of energy his body needed at all. A stronger body naturally needed more nutrition to sustain it!

Time passed quickly, and the meal was coming to an end. Even Mystic One and Mystic Three disdained to touch the ordinary dishes on the table.

Bei Feng leaned casually on the armrest of his chair with a light smile on his face as he waited. In a moment, the good show would begin!

Helan Qianjun was already preparing to leave with Wang Yudie, and was currently exchanging a few words with Wang Hong.

Wang Yuyan looked over at Bei Feng nervously as if she had made some sort of decision. After that, she walked over to Wang Yudie’s side sneakily and whispered, “Sis, are you really willing to be married off to the Helan Tribes?”

“What can I do even if I’m unwilling? We’re already engaged now, and our Wang Clan had also accepted the bridal gifts from the Helan Tribes. You, ah… you must take good care of yourself since elder sister will no longer be able to stay by your side in the future.”

Wang Yudie looked even sadder in this moment as she forced out a smile and rubbed her little sister on the head.

“You’re not willing? Then, don’t marry!”

Wang Yuyan smiled slyly.

Wang Yudie shook her head and said, “Silly lass, this matter is already a done deal. There’s no way to change the ending now.”

This little sister of hers was really too naive.

“Have you made up your mind? Your elder sister is about to leave at any moment!”

Bei Feng chose this moment to add a spark to the boiling oil. The entire conversation by the two sisters had been heard clearly by him.

“Argh! So be it! Big Brother Bei Feng, you must back me up!”

“Father! Elder sister cannot marry into the Helan Tribes!”

After being egged on all day by Bei Feng, Wang Yuyan finally steeled her mind and muttered back to Bei Feng before taking a deep breath and letting her bright voice ring through the hall!

Wang Hong was still conversing with Helan Qianjun with a forced smile on his face. Although he was also very dissatisfied with Helan Qianjun as his son in law, the entire Wang Clan had already agreed, and he had no other options, either. At this point, he could only hope that Helan Qianjun would treat his daughter well.

“What nonsense are you spouting! Don’t make a scene!”

Wang Hong’s face darkened with insane speed. This normally obedient little daughter of his had unexpectedly chosen this moment to rise in revolt!

“Elder Sister is not a piece of goods to be traded as you please! She should have the rights to make her own decisions!”

Wang Yuyan completely disregarded the stormy expression on Wang Hong’s face. Nothing mattered more than the happiness of her sister.

“It’s not your turn to speak here! Men, bring the young miss back to her room.”

Wang Hong beckoned to the two guards behind him.

“Hold on.”

Helan Qianjun raised a hand and blocked the two guards before walking over to Wang Yuyan,

“I truly love your elder sister, and I am even willing to use my life to protect her. I know that you’re upset because you’re being separated from your sister, but you can come over to the Helan Tribes to visit anytime you want! Or if you like, I can bring your sister back to visit her family more often as well,” Helan Qianjun said in a deep voice which was filled with sincerity.

“Yuyan, stop messing around, it’s not like elder sister is never coming back.”

Wang Yudie sobbed uncontrollably and advised with tears running down her cheeks.

Wang Yuyan completely lost all decorum at this moment, even pointing her finger at Helan Qianjun directly as she asked, “You love my sister, but have you asked her if she loves you back? You say you love her, but is this what you consider as love?!”

“I…”

Helan Qianjun fell silent as he opened and closed his mouth repeatedly. In the end, he couldn’t say anything.

“Pa!”

Wang Hong was so angered that his entire body was trembling. Never had he thought that his usually obedient and smart daughter would be so obstinate. In a fit of fury, he raised his hand and slapped at Wang Yuyan’s face.

“It’s not your turn to hit others in front of me.”

But before he realized it, an extra person had appeared before him, standing right infront of Wang Yuyan. His arm was also caught in the grip of this person.
