58: Foolish! Nonsense!

"Alright!" A confident arc curved across her lips, and her Face was filled with the pride of saying, "Watch me show you what I can do." "To reward you, my greatest contributor, I have decided to personally cook the most sumptuous feast for you today!"

Hearing this, Mysterious Ink paused his steps.

He looked at Ye Feiyan's confident appearance and couldn't help but start calculating in his heart.

This woman... is still the Reincarnation of an Empress, after all.

Her status is noble, and her demeanor is extraordinary.

Now, she was actually going to lower herself and personally wash her hands to make soup for a mere snake like him... "That works."

Mysterious Ink nodded and agreed... Returning to the clean and elegant Small Courtyard, Ye Feiyan excitedly plunged straight into the kitchen.

Soon, a deafening symphony of clanging pots and pans erupted from the kitchen, along with... strange smells that were hard to describe and filled with an ominous aura.

Half an hour later.

When Ye Feiyan, full of anticipation, placed her several "carefully cooked" "masterpieces" onto the dining table.

Mysterious Ink, who was lying by the table waiting eagerly, felt the scales on his Face twitch violently and uncontrollably.

What did he see?

A plate of multicolored, viscous paste that looked like the product of a failed alchemy experiment.

A plate of pitch-black, blocky substances that reeked of acrid charring, the original Materials completely unrecognizable.

And a pot of... mysterious soup that was bubbling ominously with strange green foam and filled with an ill-boding atmosphere... Mysterious Ink was utterly speechless.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Ye Feiyan's triumphant Face, which screamed, "Hurry up and praise me," and transmitted a message in an extremely doubtful tone.

"Are you sure... this is meant to reward me, and not... murder me?"

"Oh dear, don't judge it by its appearance!" Ye Feiyan's pretty Face flushed red when she heard this. She smiled awkwardly and forced an explanation, "The taste! The taste is still acceptable! Hurry and try it!"

"..."

Seeing her expectant gaze, Mysterious Ink ultimately decided to give this Empress some Face.

He cautiously extended his tongue and lightly licked the pitch-black "charcoal."

Instantly.

Mysterious Ink felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

His massive python body suddenly stiffened! His pair of snake eyes widened into circles!

The next second, he let out a "wah" sound and spat out the taste that had just entered his mouth, a taste potent enough to make any living creature doubt life itself!

Immediately after, as if seeing a ghost, he transformed into a black bolt of lightning, instantly rushed out of the main hall, and fled!

Only a roar filled with endless grief, indignation, and despair was left echoing in the Small Courtyard for a long time.

"Not even dogs would eat this!!!"

"..."

Inside the main hall, Ye Feiyan stood frozen, looking at the table full of "Dark Cuisine," and then at Mysterious Ink's fleeing back... Her stunningly beautiful Face instantly turned liver-colored!

"Bang!"

She angrily stomped her foot, her silver teeth nearly shattering!

"Ungrateful bastard snake!!!"

Inside the back courtyard of the Myriad Beast Pavilion, Lin Yao stared blankly at the empty courtyard. It took him a long time to recover his senses from the astronomical transaction amount.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, his Face still showing uncontrollable shock and envy.

"Junior Sister... truly possesses... Heaven-Defying Fortune."

Filled with emotion, he immediately dared not delay, pulling out a golden flashing Communication Talisman from his embrace and injecting Spiritual Power into it.

The light flashed, and the Talisman turned into a streak of light, instantly disappearing into the horizon.

Only after completing all this did he let out a long sigh of relief and begin processing the mountain of Yao Beast corpses... Meanwhile, inside Immortal Master Jinyun's Immortal Cave in the Beast Taming Sect.

Before Immortal Master Jinyun, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, a golden light appeared out of thin air in the Void Realm, transforming into Lin Yao's respectful voice.

"Reporting to Revered Master, Disciple Lin Yao has important matters to report."

"Oh?" Immortal Master Jinyun slowly opened his eyes. "Speak."

Lin Yao dared not be negligent and immediately reported every detail of Ye Feiyan's visit today, including how she used a massive amount of Yao Beast corpses to exchange for a Third-Grade Pill Furnace, gold breaking pill Spirit Medicine, and a portion of Fourth-Tier flood dragon essence blood.

When he heard that Ye Feiyan was able to hunt down so many High-Tier Yao Beasts in just one day, including one at the Third Order Late Stage, even Immortal Master Jinyun's ancient, unmoving Golden Core state of mind couldn't help but stir slightly.

"This girl... her Luck is truly extraordinary." He first sighed, clearly attributing everything to Ye Feiyan's Heaven-Defying Luck.

However, when he heard the words "Fourth-Tier flood dragon essence blood," his brow subtly furrowed.

"Lin Yao," he asked lightly, "Is that portion of flood dragon essence blood intended for her black snake?"

"Reporting to Revered Master, Disciple believes that is the case," Lin Yao answered respectfully. "After all, Junior Sister Feiyan is of the Human Race, and this kind of Yao Beast vital blood is not of great use to her personally."

Immortal Master Jinyun fell silent upon hearing this.

When he spoke again, his voice carried unconcealed disappointment and displeasure.

"Foolish!"

"This is utter nonsense!"

"The value of a complete portion of Fourth-Tier flood dragon essence blood is immense! If it were used on a Yao Beast cub with a Third-Tier or even Fourth-Tier Bloodline, and cultivated with Sect Secret Technique, it would be highly likely to raise a powerful Battle Beast capable of rivaling the Late Golden Core Stage!"

"Yet she intends to waste such a priceless treasure on a Wasted Snake with a mere Second-Tier Bloodline?! How is this any different from squandering Heaven's gifts?!"

By the end, his voice was laced with anger.

"Enough!" He fiercely waved his sleeve. "Do not concern yourself with this matter anymore! I, your Revered Master, will personally take the items and make a trip to Three Seas City!"

"I want to see exactly what kind of nonsense this girl is up to!"

...Two days later.

Ye Feiyan, who was Cultivating at home, received a message from Lin Yao.

"Junior Sister, the items have all been delivered. Please come over quickly."

Ye Feiyan didn't think much of it and immediately brought Mysterious Ink back to the Myriad Beast Pavilion.

However, the moment she pushed open the inner hall's main door, she was startled.

Seated in the main seat was not Second Senior Brother Lin Yao, but... her Revered Master, Immortal Master Jinyun, who was rarely seen.

"Disciple Ye Feiyan respectfully greets Revered Master!" Although surprised, she immediately performed a respectful bow.

"Mm." Immortal Master Jinyun nodded faintly. He first looked Ye Feiyan up and down, a look of approval appearing on his Face.

"Not bad. Your Foundation is stable and your Qi is solid. It seems you haven't been slacking off these past few days. Your Natural Talent and Luck are both considered top-tier."

However, the subject of his speech immediately changed, and his voice suddenly became strict!

"It's just a pity that you are far too nonsensical!"
