The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 705 - 702: Mountain Secrets

The Overlord Egg is the Little Tyrant of Qin Mountain.

Before meeting Xin Lin, it often couldn’t get enough food in the Mystic Bird Nest, so it would go out to find food when the Xuan Bird was not around.

Over time, it came to recognize some of the slightly more formidable Xuan Spirit Beasts in the mountains.

Xiao Cui was one of them.

The Overlord Egg originally planned to ask Xiao Cui for some stinky herbs, only to find it dead near the stream stone beach.

That area, not far from Xiao Cui’s snake cave, was not only where Xiao Cui was killed but also where people entered its cave and emptied it of all medicinal herbs.

(Whimper, all the stinky herbs are gone.)

The Overlord Egg cried bitterly.

"What’s your egg saying, sobbing like that?"

Wu Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s saying this snake was its good friend and was murdered. It wants me to find a way to discover the real culprit, and it happened near the stream."

Only Xin Lin and people like Gui Hu could understand what the Overlord Egg said.

Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan also felt completely confused.

But as soon as Xin Lin mentioned near the stream gulley, both of their faces changed color.

"Is it the Black Water Creek halfway up the mountain?"

The usually reticent Wu Xuan asked.

"Exactly. Why, do you know that area?"

Xin Lin was somewhat surprised.

"That area is the site of our mission this time."

Wu Yuan also put away his joking demeanor.

Wu Xuan went forward to examine the wounds on the emerald python.

"Tiger Roar Fist and Yue King Strike, it’s the work of people from Fengxing Country."

Wu Xuan looked at Wu Yuan.

"It looks like they’ve already infiltrated, tsk, I knew the news would leak sooner or later."

Wu Yuan pursed his lips.

"It’s too late in the day now; even if we rush there, we wouldn’t make it in time. Let’s head down first thing tomorrow morning."

Wu Xuan said solemnly.

He looked again at Xin Lin and the Overlord Egg.

Xin Lin was comforting the Overlord Egg, seemingly oblivious to what the two were talking about.

It took ten Spiritual Delicacy Buns for Xin Lin to finally console the Overlord Egg.

"Poor Xiao Cui."

Xin Lin sighed.

"But don’t worry, I’ll make sure to cook it nicely."

Little did Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan know, her next words nearly made them drop their jaws.

When Xin Lin said she’d make Xiao Cui tasty, she truly meant it.

By evening, she had gutted Xiao Cui and obtained a fifty-year-old snake gallbladder, a medicinal ingredient of Mortal quality.

After draining the snake blood and skinning it,

The emerald python’s body was thick with meat, extremely smooth in texture. Xin Lin remembered a two-star Spiritual Delicacy "strange-taste snake" from the Spiritual Delicacies.

While gathering herbs, she also picked some wild garlic and mountain pepper.

With a set of pots and pans taken from her Tuling hairpin, Xin Lin had Wu Xuan help her cut the emerald python into pieces.

In less than two hours, a rich aroma wafted through the woods.

It made Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan involuntarily glance sideways.

Despite their initial distaste, they couldn’t resist the temptation of the fragrance and tried a bite.

With that bite, both felt a renewed spirit.

The wild garlic and mountain pepper removed the gaminess of the snake. Xin Lin’s excellent roasting skills made the snake meat crispy and fragrant, smooth and sweet, spicy and numbing on the tongue with each bite.

Their faces reddened as they ate, both astonished by Xin Lin’s culinary skills.

Such culinary skills, yet she’s still not a Spiritual Delicacy Master?

It looks like the Spirit Food World of Longteng Country is about to rise.

A fifty-pound emerald python was quickly stripped of meat and consumed by the group.

Among them, the Overlord Egg ate the most, having devoured half of the emerald python by itself.

(Whimper, Xiao Cui truly was a great buddy, so delicious.)

The Overlord Egg whimpered as it ate.
