38: Chapter 38 Exposing the Meat of the Beast

It was lunchtime.

Chen Hu chose to order food from a nearby restaurant and had it delivered to the stronghold.

Who knew if the Wild Wolf Gang would take the opportunity to retake the stronghold?

Therefore, no one dared to take any risks.

As long as two days passed and the territory was officially secured, everyone present would be rewarded for their contributions.

Therefore, everyone cooperated fully with Chen Hu's arrangements.

At mealtime, the others split into two tables.

Chen Hu, Song He, Da Niu, and Er Niu sat at a small table.

"I obtained some good things; let me let you all have a taste!"

At this moment, Chen Hu took out the half-catty of exotic beast meat that Nangong Hongyan had given him, took out a dagger, cut off three slices, and distributed them to Song He, Da Niu, and Er Niu.

"Wow, Boss, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!"

Er Niu didn't say a word, took the exotic beast meat, put it in his mouth to chew, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"This is exotic beast meat?"

Song He's face revealed extreme shock as he looked at Chen Hu and asked.

Chen Hu said: "This meat was given to me by a Young Master surnamed Nangong. Yesterday...!"

He recounted the incident from yesterday at the restaurant where he met Nangong Hongyan, who had forgotten to bring money, and how he had helped her pay the bill.

"Boss, your luck is too good!"

Song He said with an envious expression: "If I am not mistaken, this is exotic beast meat. It is a Saint Grade item for us Martial Artists to Cultivate. Moreover, since that person is surnamed Nangong, she is most likely a Young Master from the Nangong Family of the Inner City."

Speaking of this, his face couldn't help but reveal envy: "As expected of a Young Master from a noble family, to actually use exotic beast meat as a thank-you gift, it's too generous!"

"Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up and eat!"

Chen Hu also cut a slice of exotic beast meat and put it into his mouth, then put away the remaining exotic beast meat.

"Chief Song, is this meat very valuable?"

Er Niu, having swallowed the exotic beast meat, asked Song He for advice.

"It's not just valuable; it's extremely valuable!"

Song He showed off: "As far as I know, one gram of ordinary exotic beast meat is worth at least one gram of gold, and it's the kind that is priceless and marketless. My family is considered well-off, but since I was young, I have only eaten exotic beast meat once, and my parents only managed to get 10 grams!"

"Doesn't that mean I just ate a few grams of gold?" Er Niu clicked his tongue and said.

"What do you think?"

Song He continued to show off: "This exotic beast meat has three major benefits for us Martial Artists: first, it can nourish the body; second, it can repair hidden injuries; and third, it can improve Cultivation!"

Then he looked at Chen Hu: "Boss Chen, with this exotic beast meat, your Breakthrough to the Flesh Refining Realm is secure!"

"Do not spread this matter around!"

Chen Hu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The three of them immediately nodded. If such a good thing as exotic beast meat were to get out, someone might target the exotic beast meat in Chen Hu's hands.

On the other side.

Inner City, Nangong Family.

Nangong Hongyan, having finished her Cultivation, had the servants bring her medicinal food.

After finishing the meal of medicinal food, she summoned the Maid and asked: "How did the matter I entrusted to you go?"

"Third Young Miss, I have already followed your instructions and delivered the item to that Young Master Chen!" The Maid replied truthfully.

"What was his reaction?" Nangong Hongyan asked again.

The Maid said: "Young Master Chen accepted it very calmly and even asked me to bring a message to you, saying that he has received your kind intentions!"

If it were anyone else, she would only think this person was crude and mercenary.

But with Chen Hu, she felt he was straightforward and unpretentious.

So she asked again: "What do you think of this Young Master Chen?"

Upon hearing this, the Maid's expression changed slightly. She looked around before lowering her voice and saying: "Third Young Miss, that Young Master Chen is, after all, a member of a Gang. It is not advisable to have too much contact; otherwise, it will not be good for either you or him!"

"Alright, I know. You may leave!" Nangong Hongyan waved her hand, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

"Yes, this servant will withdraw!"

After the Maid walked out, a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Judging by the Third Young Miss's situation, she seemed to have a certain affection for that Chen Hu.

However, the disparity in their statuses was too great; it certainly wouldn't work out.

If the two insisted on being together, it would harm both themselves and others, and even she, as a Maid, would be implicated.

In order not to be implicated, the best way was to report this matter.

At that time, the higher-ups would naturally deal with that Chen Hu.

But there is no wall without cracks in this world. If the Third Young Miss found out afterwards, she would most likely not be able to remain by the Third Young Miss's side.

The number of legitimate sons and daughters of the current generation of the Nangong Family was quite large, totaling more than a dozen.

But among the many legitimate sons and daughters, the Third Young Miss had the best temper, the gentlest personality, and was the best to her servants.

Especially for a personal Maid like her, the benefits received were even greater.

The Third Young Miss not only taught her to Cultivate but also provided her with Cultivation resources; otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to possess the strength of the Early Stage of Flesh Refining at eighteen.

If she could betray the Third Young Miss who was so good to her, who would dare to employ her in the future?

Thinking of this.

The Maid could only sigh helplessly.

Reporting it was not an option.

She could only hope that the Third Young Miss was just interested in that Gang member for a moment.

Perhaps after a while, she would forget.

However, she could not be careless either. She decided to go and collect some intelligence on Chen Hu.

Gang members were not good people; that Chen Hu must have done quite a few evil deeds.

As long as the Third Young Miss knew later that Chen Hu had committed many evil deeds, she would definitely develop a loathing for him.

"Just do that!"

The Maid immediately found a guard, stuffed five taels of silver into his hand, and asked him to secretly investigate Chen Hu.

The guard agreed readily.

Feihu Street stronghold.

Not long after Chen Hu and the others finished lunch, Hall Master Ma Zhiyuan brought people over.

"Chen Hu, you did well this time; you have brought honor to our Third Battle Hall. I have already reported your killing of Yang Peng, and the Gang will certainly not skimp on your rewards!"

"Then I thank the Hall Master!"

Chen Hu answered perfunctorily.

He vaguely guessed Ma Zhiyuan's intentions; wasn't it just wanting to manipulate and control him?

If he hadn't wanted to get promoted and recruit more subordinates, he would have already fallen out with Ma Zhiyuan.

After seeing off Ma Zhiyuan, Chen Hu continued to Cultivate.

As evening approached.

Song He found Chen Hu and told him a piece of news.

It was said that last night, Leader Gao Zhan personally led a team, taking the four great Elders to storm the Wild Wolf Gang General Hall.

Not only did they severely injure Gang Leader Du Zaishan, but they also killed one of the opponent's Elders at the Early Stage of Tendon Refining and severely injured another Elder.

If it hadn't been for Gang Leader Xu Huanlin of the Venomous Snake Gang bringing people to support them, the Wild Wolf Gang's losses would likely have been even more severe.

"No wonder the people from the Wild Wolf Gang didn't come to snatch back the territory!"

Hearing Song He's words, Chen Hu understood the reason why the Wild Wolf Gang did not come to retake the territory.

The Gang Leader was severely injured, an Elder died, and an Elder was severely injured.

At this moment, the Wild Wolf Gang was likely in a state of panic; how could they have the heart to come and retake the territory?

Time passed, and it was midnight again.

Chen Hu first took out the enlightenment card and used it on the Longevity Technique.

Thus, he once again became an Incarnation of a child, and under the guidance of his Master, bitterly Cultivated the Longevity Technique.

More than ten years passed.

He directly Cultivated the Longevity Technique to the tenth level.

A large amount of Cultivation memories were injected into his mind, Fusion-ing with his current memories into one.

With the experience of Cultivating to the 10th level, in the subsequent Cultivation to the Bone Refining Realm, he would not encounter any obstacles regarding the Cultivation Technique.
