Protect Our Chief
Chapter 916 - 36: Miss Lici "Sweeps Through" the Immortal Dynasty
Master Yunyang struggled in vain, thick-skinned as ever, and could only lead Wang Lici in search of the next opportunity as before.
The difference was, this time when Wang Lici departed, she brought along Lan Wan’er in addition to the five wolf cubs that accompanied her to the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty.
Lan Wan’er, being of the Lan family’s direct lineage, like Wang Lici, possessed the rare devouring-type bloodline, allowing her to accelerate her cultivation by consuming large quantities of Fierce Beast flesh. Due to their similar bloodline and interests, Wang Lici quickly became close sisters with Lan Wan’er shortly after moving into the Lan Family.
Lan Wan’er’s Bloodline Awakening wasn’t as advanced as Wang Lici’s, nor could she improve her bloodline talent through eating as Wang Lici did. Nonetheless, she was of Celestial Pride Grade A talent, far superior to ordinary Celestial Pride.
With good luck, she might have a chance to advance to Divine Techniques. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
This time, she followed Wang Lici not only because she couldn’t bear to part with the newly met big sister but also partially to seek her own opportunity.
Lan Wan’er had a Purple Mansion Realm Protective Puppet provided by her family, ensuring her safety. So, they traveled and ate along the way, and unknowingly, journeyed together for over a decade. Lan Wan’er’s grilling skills were exceptional, and soon, steaming hot grilled meat was served on Wang Lici’s plate.
"Sister Lici, without realizing it, we’ve already eaten at three of the ’buffet barbecue restaurants’ in Zhuanxu City. Do you think the shopkeepers will band together again and put the two of us on the store blacklist?" She said, somewhat worriedly.
"No worries, Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty is vast, we’ve only eaten in three provinces. There are still several provinces we haven’t visited, we can continue eating for a long time. Once we’ve finished them all, we’ll think of other ways," Wang Lici said nonchalantly, "If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll take you out to sea. When I came to the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty, I saw gigantic Dragon Whales in Hurricane Ocean. If we catch one, we can surely eat it for a long time."
Lan Wan’er’s hand paused, and her eyes lit up: "Is Dragon Whale Flesh delicious?"
"From my experience with eating so many Fierce Beasts, Dragon Whale Flesh should be very fatty, very tender." Wang Lici couldn’t help but lick her lips as she spoke, "This kind of meat is perfect for grilling; it will sizzle beautifully, sprinkle some spices, and it’ll definitely be delicious."
Lan Wan’er was already tempted by her description, and couldn’t help but fantasize about the deliciousness of Dragon Whale Flesh.
That’s the best part of following Sister Lici; she always has various ways to get delicious food. Sometimes, while passing through desolate mountains and wilderness, she can find all kinds of strange yet tasty food from hidden corners.
For instance, the idea to eat at "buffet barbecue restaurants" was thought up by Sister Lici. Without this tactic, given her and Sister Lici’s appetites, their Immortal Crystals would have run out long ago.
"Master has gone to the southern part of the Immortal Dynasty this time; I wonder if everything is going smoothly on the way?" Eating as she went, Wang Lici couldn’t help but think of her master, missing him quite a bit.
Master Yunyang reached the Peak Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion Realm years ago. Now, he has to nurture Wang Lici and accumulate the resources needed to advance to the Divine Power Realm. The funding gap is immense, and he has to find ways to earn money everywhere.
Just recently, her master took a job escorting a shipment of materials south to the Immortal Dynasty. It’s been three months since he left.
"This escort mission, although somewhat risky, Master Yunyang is powerful and should be fine. Moreover, this is a commission from the Cold Moon Wu Family; the pay is generous and the opportunity is rare. As long as it’s safely delivered, he’ll receive a reward of fifty thousand Immortal Crystals at once. When he returns, the money earned can support him for a while," Lan Wan’er comforted Wang Lici. "Besides, my father told me that with my devouring-type talent, as long as I advance to the Purple Mansion Realm and understand my Minor Divine Techniques, I won’t feel hungry so easily. I guess it’ll be similar for you, sister. Then, your master’s pressure won’t be as great as it is now."
"That’s true," Wang Lici nodded, "After understanding Minor Divine Techniques, I’ll be able to directly devour the energy in Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and absorb it far more efficiently than simply acquiring energy from food. But I only recently grasped Minor Divine Techniques, and using it is still a bit strenuous; it can’t sustain me for long, so I still need to rely on food to replenish energy."
In fact, ever since I grasped Minor Divine Techniques ten years ago, I’ve clearly felt the difference.
Previously, I was very prone to hunger, needing several meals a day and becoming weak if I went without food for a long time. But ever since having Minor Divine Techniques, the frequency of hunger returned to normal. Long periods without large meals no longer affect my strength.
However, my appetite correspondingly increased in leaps. Now, if I’m willing, I can easily consume an entire Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Ox, as if there’s another space inside my belly where the food is stored and slowly digested.
The two women chatted while eating, occasionally feeding the wolf cubs nearby, and unknowingly consumed over a dozen plates of Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef.
Each of these wolf cubs paid a fee according to their wolfheads when entering, so the meat naturally included their share.
Initially, the shop owner was "worried" they couldn’t finish their food, always "kind-heartedly" asking them each time. But eventually, he completely gave up, choosing to hide and let them help themselves.
