251: Chapter 251 Poor Craftsmanship

"I... I... I..." Long Shengnan's voice was choked with sobs, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist, this child Shengnan is not skilled at cooking. How about I take over for her?"

Just as she was about to burst into tears, a voice came from the Void Realm, and then a beautiful middle-aged woman stepped out.

"Clan... Clan Chief!" Long Shengnan's eyes were filled with tears, and she immediately felt like she had found her backbone.

"I am Long Chuanyu, the Clan Chief of the Giant Dragon Clan. Greetings, Fellow Daoist!" The beautiful middle-aged woman bowed gracefully toward Lin Bei.

"Eh? Is she really that gentle?" Lin Bei looked puzzled, casually pulling Long Jiba to his side. "Is this really a Tyrannosaurus from the southwest?"

"Boss, I'm not talking nonsense. Back then, when the Clan Chief was enraged..."

"Alright, alright. Things done in a fit of rage don't count. She is clearly a gentle woman!" Lin Bei said with certainty.

"Ugh!" Long Jiba immediately felt as uncomfortable as if he were constipated, feeling extremely wronged.

If you didn't need me to say anything, why did you pull me up here...

Ten thousand zhang away, Long Batian's eyes were filled with suspicion as his gaze swept back and forth between Lin Bei and Long Chuanyu.

"Could it be?!" Suddenly, a conjecture appeared in his mind.

What exactly did this person do? To actually make that female Tyrannosaurus so wary? Could it be someone from an Imperial Clan?

Very likely! That blade just now was definitely an Imperial Weapon!

While he was lost in his wild thoughts, Lin Bei had already stood in front of the beautiful middle-aged woman with a teasing smile on his face.

"Then I'll really have to trouble Clan Chief Long. Please add extra spice! I love spicy food!"

"Very well!" Long Chuanyu smiled as before, raised her hand, and waved it. A ball of golden flame immediately floated out, wrapping around a piece of Dragon meat in front of her.

She seemed completely indifferent to the fact that this Dragon meat came from one of the Clan's Vice Clan Chiefs.

"Sizzle..."

The Dragon meat of a Late Stage Great Sage was indeed a high-end ingredient; it was already exuding a rich aroma just from being simply roasted by the golden flame.

Lin Bei took a deep look at the woman in front of him, somewhat surprised by her composure and decisiveness.

It seems the news from Spirit Devouring Sword City has already spread...

With a thought, the golden flame intensified in an instant, burning the entire piece of Dragon meat to ashes.

Not only that, but the flames spread rapidly, rushing toward the other ninety-nine pieces of Dragon meat!

Long Chuanyu's expression changed, and she reached out her hands, trying her best to control the flames.

However, even though it was the true fire from her own body, at this moment it seemed to no longer belong to her; she couldn't control even the slightest bit of it.

"Sizzling..."

Under the golden flames, all the Dragon meat contributed by the Velociraptor Clan Chief turned into nothingness.

Subsequently, the flame, like an obedient child, flew into Lin Bei's palm and turned into a small, dancing flame, cheering and jumping.

Long Chuanyu's pupils constricted. Although she had already guessed it, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this scene.

A reputation is never without foundation; all those terrifying rumors were indeed not groundless!

She suppressed the palpitations in her heart and revealed a look of grievance. "What is the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist? Are you dissatisfied with my skills?"

"Skills? I haven't tried them yet..." Lin Bei muttered to himself.

"Fellow Daoist? Tried what?" A Peak Great Sage's hearing is incredibly keen. Long Chuanyu smiled enchantingly, with a hint of allure.

"Damn! Mature women are just different; they understand everything!" Lin Bei rolled his eyes. The other party clearly understood instantly but was pretending to be innocent.

Unfortunately, he had no interest in this type...

He straightened his expression. "Clan Chief Long, you are so enthusiastic, but this Dragon steak is not worth eating. My name is Lin Bei! I have come to the Giant Dragon Clan to ask for a favor!"

Long Chuanyu sighed inwardly, feeling slightly regretful, but her face remained as smiling as a flower.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please feel free to speak. As long as I can help, I will certainly not refuse!"

Lin Bei did not act coy either; he raised his hand and took out an immortal bell fragment.

"This thing is somewhat useful to me. I heard that the Giant Dragon Clan possesses this item..."

"Oh?" Long Chuanyu approached and, after carefully examining the fragment, frowned slightly. "I have never seen this before..."

"Really?" Lin Bei could see that the other party did not seem to be lying. "I heard from an Elder of the Asura Clan that the Asura Ancestor once collected this item together with your ancestor!"

"So that's how it is..." Long Chuanyu looked into the distance. "Vice Clan Chief Long, come here for a moment!"

Long Batian was stunned; he didn't expect to be involved, but he didn't dare to delay and flashed to the side of the two.

"Vice Clan Chief Long, this is Fellow Daoist Lin!" After the introduction, Long Chuanyu looked back at Lin Bei.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is our Giant Dragon Clan's Vice Clan Chief, Long Batian, who is also the Clan Chief of the Tyrannosaurus Clan!"

"To tell you the truth, the Giant Dragon Clan's ancestor came from the Tyrannosaurus Clan, and for the tens of thousands of years before this, the Giant Dragon Clan was led by their clan. Perhaps Vice Clan Chief Long knows more about this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bei immediately handed the immortal bell fragment to Long Batian. "I wonder if Clan Chief Long has seen this thing before?"

"Eh?" Long Batian clearly recognized the immortal bell fragment at a glance.

"Clan Chief, Fellow Daoist Lin, the Giant Dragon Clan really did have these fragments before..."

"Before?" Lin Bei asked with confusion. "Then why are they gone now?"

Long Batian's gaze narrowed, carrying a look of recollection.

"About twenty thousand years ago, a First Generation Elder of the Holy Light Clan at the Peak Great Sage level suddenly came to the Giant Dragon Clan and also took out a fragment like this, expressing a desire to purchase it!"

"At that time, there were indeed four such fragments in the treasury left behind by the ancestor..."

"Under pressure from the Imperial Clan, I had no choice but to transfer the fragments to the Holy Light Clan!"

Holy Light Clan? Could it be that they discovered some of the wonderful uses of the immortal bell fragment?

Lin Bei immediately thought of this possibility.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm sorry I couldn't help..." Long Chuanyu said with slight regret.

If she had given the item to the other party, she would certainly have won a great favor, but unfortunately...

At this moment, a white light flashed in Long Batian's hand, and an identical bronze fragment appeared in his palm.

"Eh?" Lin Bei was taken aback. "Didn't you say you sold them?"

Long Chuanyu also looked at him in confusion.

"Er..." Long Batian was slightly embarrassed. "At that time, I thought the fragments might hide a huge secret, and the Holy Light Clan didn't know how many fragments the Giant Dragon Clan had."

"So I took out three of them and gave them to the other party, keeping one to take out and study occasionally..."

"Oh?" Long Chuanyu's mouth curled into a playful expression. "Vice Clan Chief Long, I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve! Were you thinking of making a comeback?"

"No, no, no!" Long Batian smiled bitterly. "Clan Chief, you've misunderstood. I don't have such thoughts; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken it out voluntarily today!"

"Hehe! Then I thank you, Clan Chief Long!" Lin Bei was not polite at all; he waved his hand, and the fragment appeared in his hand.

A Storage Pouch appeared in Long Batian's palm.

"This?" He was slightly stunned. "Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't need to be so polite. Let this fragment be a gift from the Giant Dragon Clan to you!"

Long Chuanyu looked at him with surprise, only today realizing that this guy was actually quite sensible.

"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse," Lin Bei smiled slightly. "How about you check the amount first?"

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Long Batian habitually swept his spiritual sense over the Storage Pouch.
