Chapter 120: Leaving the Secret Realm
The fresh Fierce Beast, under the licking of the charcoal fire, gradually bloomed with an alluring golden-yellow hue.
The oil dripped into the flames, igniting bursts of cheerful leaping flames, accompanied by the beautiful musical notes of “sizzling.” Black Crow listened to this sound and involuntarily swallowed its saliva, instantly feeling that the dried meat in its mouth was no longer fragrant.
A rich aroma, a blend of wood and meat, permeated the air, making one’s mouth water. Song Tiantian picked up a knife, sliced off a piece of the roasted meat. The skin was slightly charred, while the inside was tender and juicy. With a gentle bite, the meat juice burst in her mouth. The taste was truly excellent.
She was simply a genius; the roasted meat sauce she concocted was truly excellent.
However, she felt that the surroundings were a bit strange. Turning her head, she saw Dr. Bai and Black Crow, one person and one beast, staring at her intently. She felt a chill.
“I just tried it, the meat is cooked. If you want to eat, cut the meat yourselves.”
Song Tiantian said as she picked up a leaf, placed a large piece of meat on it, and began to eat heartily.
Dr. Bai’s hand reacted a fraction faster than Black Crow’s. Black Crow’s mouth poked directly onto the back of Dr. Bai’s hand.
Then Dr. Bai glared at Black Crow and gave him half of the meat.
“How do I usually treat you? Don’t you have a heart? Do I seem like someone who would lack food and drink for you?”
Black Crow lowered its head, feeling a bit guilty. It seemed it hadn’t thought of its Owner just now; it only thought about eating all the meat itself.
It seemed to be a bit too selfish.
Dr. Bai happily ate the roasted meat and drank the flower nectar water. Normally, he would have used this opportunity to make a fuss and not share any with Black Crow.
But now that Song Tiantian was still here, he couldn’t be too stingy.
However, the taste of the roasted meat here was truly good.
Just a full meal restored one-tenth of his Strength.
Song Tiantian’s gourmet cooking skills had improved by another notch.
It was truly exceptionally fragrant.
Black Crow also ate with great satisfaction. It felt it had never eaten such delicious gourmet food in its life.
In the past, White Lotus always competed with it for everything, but never for food.
White Lotus considered itself elegant, but in reality, it just liked eating feces.
And it wouldn’t allow others to say so.
Looking at White Lotus’s dark fertilizer, it couldn’t accept it at all. Yet, every time, White Lotus cherished it dearly, acting as if it were a precious treasure, afraid it would snatch it away.
Please, it wouldn’t even want it if it were given to it.
So, when White Lotus previously spoke of how powerful Song Tiantian was, Black Crow felt nothing.
But now, it discovered that its Owner, Song Tiantian, liked to eat the same things as it did.
Song Tiantian also didn’t eat fertilizer.
Black Crow felt that Song Tiantian’s talent shouldn’t be wasted on making that useless food for White Lotus; it should be used for roasting meat, otherwise, it would truly be a waste of talent.
And this flower nectar water, it was truly delicious, so much better than that tea.
Black Crow was well aware of White Lotus’s preferences; whatever White Lotus liked, the materials used to make it would definitely not be clean.
Especially that Cold Fragrance Number Two. It was once forced to drink a bottle of it by Dr. Bai and White Lotus together.
It was exceptionally unpleasant. It still had a deep impression of it. Even though Cold Fragrance Number Two helped its injuries recover somewhat, allowing it to save its life with Dr. Bai this time.
However, its impression of Cold Fragrance Number Two remained poor because it had never drunk such a terrible tea. It was foul-smelling, and yet it was called Cold Fragrance Number Two, which was simply outrageous.
It was beyond outrageous.
Black Crow was speechless. Fortunately, Cold Fragrance Number Two was basically widespread, and most Beast Tamers across the country had tasted this stuff, which made it feel a little better.
For the subsequent journey, Song Tiantian did not ride on Big White. She walked the entire way, with Illusion Grass accompanying her.
Since being severely beaten by Hell Ghost Vine and Big White together, Illusion Grass was now exceptionally well-behaved.
It used to be very diligent, but now it was even more so.
Illusion Grass was well aware that Song Tiantian had given extra meals to Big White and Hell Ghost Vine, but not to itself.
Those foods were specially made; only Big White and Hell Ghost Vine would benefit from them. Even if it snatched them, they wouldn’t be of much use.
Song Tiantian had given it an extra meal once before. Not only did its injuries fully recover, but it also leveled up. Therefore, Illusion Grass really hoped Song Tiantian would give it another extra meal.
Song Tiantian knew Illusion Grass’s thoughts. After all, Illusion Grass was her Pet Beast, and she had a Contract with it. Song Tiantian naturally intended to cultivate it well.
“Don’t always think about those things. Hell Ghost Vine and Big White are both recovering their Vital Energy due to consecutive battles these days. Those are to replenish their bodies; their use for improving Strength is not significant.
Your Breakthrough was actually due to your many years of accumulation. The rest only served to stimulate you a little.
If you are always stimulated like this, you will become useless.
In normal times, you still need to cultivate diligently yourself.”
As Illusion Grass led her and Dr. Bai away from the Misty Illusion Realm, Song Tiantian still gave Illusion Grass a portion of specially made fertilizer to enjoy.
When Illusion Grass returned to the Pet Beast Space, it found that Hell Ghost Vine was already close to breaking through to Six-star Pet Beast Strength. Currently, Hell Ghost Vine was at the peak of Five-star.
It truly found it hard to believe that all of this was the result of Hell Ghost Vine’s diligent cultivation. If those extra meals had no effect at all, it wouldn’t believe it one bit.
As for Big White, in Illusion Grass’s opinion, it was foolish. It even practiced boxing in normal times.
However, Big White was indeed very diligent, practicing even while eating.
It never stopped.
This further solidified its belief that Big White’s Talent was very poor.
Regarding Hell Ghost Vine, Illusion Grass actually knew in its heart that Hell Ghost Vine’s Talent was slightly better than its own. Among the plant-type Fierce Beasts, both it and Hell Ghost Vine were considered High Level Fierce Beasts. However, there were still distinctions between them. Hell Ghost Vine was an Ultra High Level, ranking much higher than it. It was only at the lower end of the High Level Fierce Beast rankings, considered the tail-ender, while Hell Ghost Vine was among the top.
Its only sense of superiority was over Big White. Big White was an Iron-eating Beast, and its Talent was much worse than its own.
However, Illusion Grass did not know that Song Tiantian had not lied to it. Hell Ghost Vine’s Strength had improved because Dr. Bai had given Song Tiantian some Nine-star Fierce Beast blood.
This was to compensate Hell Ghost Vine because it had lost many vines when saving him, White Lotus, and Black Crow.
Nine-star Fierce Beast blood was a great tonic. It would be abnormal if Hell Ghost Vine’s Strength did not improve.
It’s just that Hell Ghost Vine couldn’t absorb the Nine-star Fierce Beast blood so quickly yet. Once Hell Ghost Vine completely absorbed that blood, it would successfully evolve and break through.
Leaving the Misty Illusion Realm, Song Tiantian let out a long sigh of relief.
Outdoor life seemed beautiful, but it came with many inconveniences.
