Chapter 1774

"Sounds like Bigu," Zhu Yanyi said casually.

"It is indeed Bigu," Yan Aohan nodded seriously. "You really are practicing it. In the cultivation world, someone with your cultivation level would have already stopped eating mortal food."

Zhu Yanyi shrugged, not caring much. "Forget it. Whether it’s Bigu or not, it doesn’t matter in this world."

Almost everyone in this world ate meals. It wasn’t summer, so she couldn’t use the excuse of losing her appetite due to heat. Since everyone else ate, she had to follow the rules of this world as long as she stayed here.

Zhu Yanyi took out a snake she had already cleaned and put it aside to boil. She then found some millet. This nutritious millet was produced by the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Group—organic and no-wash required. She had stocked up plenty of it in her Ruyi Space.

As the porridge slowly cooked, a rich aroma spread. Zhu Yanyi also placed some naan bread nearby to warm up.

After waking up, Elder Yao did a few stretches and walked over. "Smells good."

"Grandpa Yao, has your body recovered?" Zhu Yanyi could tell from his expression that he was mostly healed. She knew the effect of her Spirit Spring water.

"Yes, mostly. I’m basically healthy now. Of course, if I could eat this snake meat porridge right away, I’d be even healthier," Elder Yao said with a grin.

Snake meat is naturally savory, so Zhu Yanyi only needed to add a little salt to the porridge.

The Silver Fox walked in from outside, holding a bunch of wild chrysanthemums.

"Where did you find wild chrysanthemums this season?" Zhu Yanyi asked, surprised.

"Past this mountain, there’s a hot spring. There are many flowers and herbs nearby. I saw some medicinal herbs, but I don’t recognize them. After we finish here, I can take you to see them," the Silver Fox said directly.

"Sure. My excuse for coming to the Tibetan region was to buy herbs. Even if I don’t buy any, picking some myself is good," Zhu Yanyi said. She wouldn’t refuse the suggestion.

Looking at the white chrysanthemums in the Silver Fox’s hand, Zhu Yanyi smiled. "I was just thinking that adding chrysanthemum petals to the snake meat porridge would make it taste better. Now you’ve brought back a big bunch. Perfect timing."

The Silver Fox had picked the flowers because they looked nice, without any other intent. Since Zhu Yanyi wanted them, he didn’t hesitate and handed them over.

Zhu Yanyi took the flowers, processed them slightly, and then took out four small bowls. She served the snake meat porridge into each bowl, topped them with chrysanthemum petals, and let everyone eat.

Zhu Yanyi took a sip and sighed with satisfaction. "It’s delicious. The food itself doesn’t matter; what matters is the fresh taste."

Elder Yao broke pieces of naan into his bowl, nodding as he ate. "Indeed delicious. I haven’t eaten something so authentic in a long time." He then added, "Looking at the amount of snake meat, this snake must have weighed at least five or six jin. Ani, did you go catch the snake early this morning?"

"I didn’t need to catch it. Aohan did," Zhu Yanyi said. She naturally wouldn’t admit it was from her space.

Elder Yao nodded. He hadn’t seen Yan Aohan earlier, so he didn’t think much of it.

Yan Aohan ate some porridge and a bite of naan. "Do you think the Godfather is waiting for us now?"

"Probably," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "But nothing is more important than eating. We eat first. The sky is big, the earth is big, but the stomach is biggest."

Zhu Yanyi’s carefree attitude made Yan Aohan and the others laugh helplessly. It showed they were calm about what was to come and not afraid of today’s events.

Zhu Yanyi scooped a spoonful of porridge. The fresh, savory taste mixed with the faint scent of chrysanthemum pleased her. "This chrysanthemum snake meat porridge tastes good. I’ll make it again when I have time."

"Sure. Make more when you have time," Yan Aohan said with a smile. If Zhu Yanyi liked it, eating it a few more times was fine. Life on this planet was busy but relatively relaxed. Such leisurely days might not last long.

After finishing the pot of porridge and two large naan breads, the four of them cleaned up and walked out of the cave.

"We have to face it eventually," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Yes. The great battle is coming. We must face it," Elder Yao said with some emotion.

"Grandpa Yao, don’t worry. It’s not really a great battle. For us, this kind of conflict is nothing," Zhu Yanyi said, her face full of gentle smiles.

This was too simple for her. So-called great battles had no real opponents for her.

Walking up the cliff, she looked around and then slowly walked to one side.

The Godfather stood in the middle of the path, hands behind his back, looking at the sky with a very casual expression. His group of top-tier fighters wore uniform black clothes.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. She thought these people must have watched too many TV dramas to believe that henchmen always wore black.

"Here?" the Godfather looked at them.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Here. Some things must be faced. So I had to come."

Only by coming could she face many things and resolve the karma here.

The Godfather nodded slightly. "True. Since we’re here, we must settle it. I’ve said too many useless words."

She knew the result from the start. She had indeed talked too much.

At this moment, Yan Aohan’s eyes darkened. "Come out."

The three words had no warning. Yan Aohan reached out and grabbed the air. Suddenly, a masked man fell to the ground.

"Huh? Aren’t you the one who incited the Zhu family in Zhu City to oppose my family?" Zhu Yanyi recognized the person by her attire.

The masked man seemed stunned. Only she and Zhu Yongfu knew about her involvement with the Zhu family in Zhu City. She didn’t expect Zhu Yanyi to know. "How do you know me?"

Zhu Yanyi laughed. "You don’t really think that wrapping yourself up means only heaven, earth, and you know, do you? I don’t know who is behind the mask, but you can’t hide from the old camphor tree at the village entrance."

"The camphor tree has a spirit?" The masked man instantly thought of something.

Zhu Yanyi said, "A ten-year-old camphor tree has a spirit. It’s common knowledge for us mortals. You don’t know this? Asking such a question now isn’t absurd?"

"Even if the camphor tree has a spirit, how do you know?" The masked man looked at Zhu Yanyi. For the first time, she felt her estimation was wrong. Zhu Yanyi was definitely not as simple as she appeared.

"Want to know?" Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow and asked.
