242: Section 242

One could feel it before even putting them in their mouth.

"Kid, hurry up and eat, eat more. These dishes are all cooked using monster meat from 5-Star Yao Beasts and above; it's good for your body, eat up!"

Chu Zhengxiong said to Lin Yi with a smile.

After he finished speaking, Lin Yi nodded, looking at the large table of dishes in front of him in surprise.

These ingredients were all cooked with monster meat from 5-Star Yao Beasts and above?

That meant there weren't just 5-Star Yao Beasts, but even 6-Star and 7-Star ones.

No wonder he could already feel the pure Qi contained within these dishes before even eating them.

If you looked at it that way, the 50 million full-monster feast seemed worth the price.

After all, 6-Star and 7-Star Yao Beasts, let alone hunting them, were extremely difficult even to find.

The price one had to pay to hunt such a high-level Yao Beast was immense.

And it wasn't just about hunting them; the Spirit Chef required to cook them also had extremely high standards.

In short, for a full-monster feast like this, 50 million was truly not expensive.

"If I can't finish it, can I pack it to go?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

Chu Zhengxiong glared at him: "You're planning to eat and take it with you?"

"Fine, if you can't finish it, just take it home and eat it slowly. But I have to warn you, if you reheat this monster meat, its effects will be greatly diminished; it won't be as good as when it's freshly made!"

"So, if you can eat it, try to eat as much as you can, otherwise it'll be a waste!"

Lin Yi nodded. He was too busy to talk now.

He lowered his head and began eating like a whirlwind.

"I'll give you a bottle of wine, my homemade Flower Clear Wine!"

Just then, Old He walked over carrying a small wine pot.

Chu Zhengxiong's eyes lit up: "Flower Clear Wine? This is good stuff!"

"Old He, you're being quite generous today, aren't you?"

Old He smiled: "If you hadn't been injured a few days ago, would I have given you this Flower Clear Wine?"

"Drink up, it's good for your recovery!"

"Besides, the kid just finished the Martial Arts Exam and surely needs to say goodbye to some classmates. Why are you rushing him to the New District?"

"Huh? I was just saying that, I didn't really mean to make him go back with me!"

"Besides, I have a mission tomorrow; I have to go back to the bureau for a meeting and give a report, so I wouldn't have time to take him with me anyway!" Chu Zhengxiong said hurriedly.

He then picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup.

Immediately, a rich aroma of wine hit his nose.

Chu Zhengxiong picked up the wine cup, passed it in front of his nose, and took a deep breath.

He shook his head with an intoxicated expression: "I have to say, Old He, your brewing skills are truly excellent!"

"This Flower Clear Wine must be at least 7th-grade, right? It's hard to even get a cup of this in the New District!"

After downing the cup of wine, Chu Zhengxiong said with satisfaction.

Old He smiled but didn't answer his question.

However, his eyes kept drifting toward Lin Yi from time to time.

"By the way, Old He, why aren't you staying in the New District? Why did you come to the Old District? Does your Martial Suppression Bureau have some kind of mission..."

"You shouldn't pry into the affairs of the Martial Suppression Bureau; knowing too much will do you no good!"

Before Chu Zhengxiong could finish, Old He's expression darkened, and he interrupted him directly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong nodded with a smile.

Let alone him, even the director of the Monster Hunting Bureau and those old men from the Martial Arts Alliance didn't have the qualifications to inquire about the affairs of the Martial Suppression Bureau.

The Martial Suppression Bureau existed to maintain order in the New District, primarily focusing on suppressing Martial Artists.

However, their authority was above that of the Monster Hunting Bureau and the Martial Arts Alliance.

It was a mysterious department directly under the Martial God, and its authority reached the heavens.

"Alright, you two take your time eating, I'm going to go get busy in the back!"

"Call me when you're done. Young friend, you wanted to pack some, right? Wait for me to bring you some takeout boxes!"

Old He's attitude toward Lin Yi was like he had become a different person.

He was kind and gentle, and his gaze wasn't as sharp as when he looked at Chu Zhengxiong.

Instead, he seemed like an ordinary old man.

"Okay, thank you, Master He!" Lin Yi looked up and thanked him.

After Old He left, Chu Zhengxiong said with some surprise: "I'm just puzzled, why is Old He's attitude toward you so good?"

Lin Yi looked up at him: "?????"

"Their Martial Suppression Bureau is under the direct management of the Martial God, and they are all extremely arrogant. You heard the attitude he used when talking to me just now!"

"I'm not exaggerating when I say that if we were in the New District, I wouldn't even have the qualifications to speak to Old He!"

"But just now he sat here and had the patience to talk to me, and especially his gaze, it seemed to be on you the whole time!"

"Could it be that the mission they appeared in the Old District for is you?"

"Me?" Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Chu Zhengxiong nodded: "That's right, why else would they come to the Old District? To cook and make money?"

"But what use are you to them? Hiss... No wonder these people from the Martial Suppression Bureau are all so strange; their way of thinking isn't something a normal person could have!"

"Forget it, let's eat first. Eat more, the money is already spent, don't waste it!"

"Mm-hmm, I'm eating!"

Lin Yi nodded repeatedly, stuffing meat into his mouth.

After eating for a while, he realized that while these eighteen dishes looked intimidating, the portion size of each plate wasn't actually that large.

Fortunately, after Lin Yi and Chu Zhengxiong had their fill, there were still a few dishes left.

Old He came over with takeout boxes.

He carefully packed up the remaining dishes and handed them to Lin Yi.

After saying goodbye, he and Chu Zhengxiong left the small courtyard.

Just after they left on the motorcycle, three figures suddenly appeared in the small courtyard.

"Are you sure that kid just now is the future Martial God?" a person wearing a black robe whispered.

Old He glanced at them and nodded: "The Old Beggar has already confirmed it; that [Qi Transformation Technique] can only be cultivated by the Martial God, and he already contains the Source Qi of the Galaxy in his body!"

"What is the plan going forward?" a woman beside him said expressionlessly.

Old He sighed softly and looked up at the night sky.

"Protection... Before he truly grows into the Martial God, no one with ill intentions is allowed to approach him. Including the Martial Arts Alliance, otherwise... kill them without mercy!"

"Also, tell the others to prepare to return to the New District!"

After Old He finished speaking, the three of them all bowed respectfully.

"Yes!"

Then, they disappeared from the small courtyard again.

...

By the time Chu Zhengxiong dropped Lin Yi off outside the residential area, it was already dark.

"Big Brother Chu, what time are you leaving tomorrow? I'll come to see you off!"

Lin Yi got off the motorcycle and asked sincerely.

Chu Zhengxiong glanced at him: "No need, it's not like we won't see each other again. Aren't you going to the New District in a couple of days too?"

"Ah... that's true!" Lin Yi nodded.

"When you get to the New District, give me a call, and just see how I arrange things for you!"

"The New District is my home turf, I guarantee I'll let you see the world!"
