73: Dragon flesh and blood, so delicious!

Compared to the Three Thousand Dao States, it was slightly smaller.

However, the folk customs here were simple and the front lines were united, making it a rather unique place.

Most importantly, behind the Underworld lay the Forbidden Zone.

Led by the Empress of the Underworld.

A massive, shimmering Formation appeared, radiating light in all directions.

Four enormous altars stood around the Formation.

The four altars combined to surround the residence of the Empress of the Underworld.

It seemed like a safeguard, yet also like a part of the Formation.

Swoosh...!

With a wave of the Empress of the Underworld's hand, the Formation dispersed on its own.

Palaces carved from gold and jade revealed themselves one after another.

The surroundings of the palaces were planted with Fire Mulberry Trees, dyeing the sky and earth with a touch of rosy red.

These Fire Mulberry Trees were of the same species as the ones in Qin Feng's courtyard.

However, the ones here were more ancient and much larger.

Every single tree was filled with the aura of life.

“Greetings, Great Empress of the Underworld.”

As soon as they landed on the ground, Maids came forward to bow and pay their respects.

“You may rise!”

The Empress of the Underworld nodded and said with a wave of her hand.

“Si Qin, Yu Qi, this is my husband, Qin Feng, the second god of my Underworld. From now on, seeing him is like seeing me.”

The Empress of the Underworld pulled Qin Feng forward and leaned against his shoulder, introducing him to the two Maids.

“Greetings, Under... Underworld God!”

The two Maids trembled and hurriedly knelt to pay their respects.

Underworld God was the highest title in the Underworld.

His status was second only to the Great Empress of the Underworld, making him incredibly esteemed.

“Rise, please rise.”

Qin Feng grinned and said.

Si Qin and Yu Qi kept their heads lowered as they slowly stood up.

Both were at the Peak of the Saint Realm, their strength terrifying.

Simultaneously, they used their peripheral vision to glance at Qin Feng, etching his face deep into their minds.

Then, they looked toward Hui Lan.

They and Hui Lan were all Maids of Great Empresses. Since the Underworld and Qingqiu were close friends, they had frequent contact with one another.

But now, they could no longer see through Hui Lan.

“Hui Lan, you... you've had a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor realm?”

Si Qin's voice trembled as she asked in a low voice.

“Yes, thanks to the Young Master, I had a Breakthrough.”

Hui Lan looked at Qin Feng, her cheeks slightly flushing as she spoke.

Si Qin and Yu Qi instinctively followed Hui Lan's gaze and looked at Qin Feng.

This Underworld God.

They also had an impression of him; he was the Imperial Son born fourteen years ago.

The Great Empress of the Underworld had told them many times.

As long as one obtained the Imperial Son, one could obtain the world.

Only by obtaining the Imperial Son would the Underworld have a chance to see blue skies and white clouds.

And now, this Imperial Son was standing right before them.

It proved that the Great Empress of the Underworld had won him over.

“What are you staring at? Go and prepare the food.”

“By the way, is the Flood Dragon I was stewing ready?”

Seeing the two Maids dazed, the Empress of the Underworld spoke up immediately.

“Great Empress of the Underworld, it is already stewed. We will go and prepare it right away.”

The two Maids lowered their heads and responded.

Then, they quickly walked into the palace to prepare to welcome the Underworld God.

Stormy waves surged in their hearts.

Even Hui Lan had become a Quasi-Emperor; they had to keep this Underworld God here.

Perhaps this was also their... Opportunity to hopefully Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

“Xiao Feng, let's go!”

Bai Moyun took Qin Feng's hand and walked toward the magnificent palace.

Hui Lan followed closely behind.

As for Dragon Baby and Zhu Yan, they had been forced to witness their affection all along the way, and their presence was becoming lower and lower.

The two Vicious Beasts had no choice but to bow to reality.

They followed along dejectedly.

Passing through the palace's outer perimeter, the group arrived at the Empress of the Underworld's backyard.

Here, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds, surrounded by the soft light of the Fire Mulberry Trees.

A long jade table was set in the backyard.

Even though the scenery was peerlessly beautiful, Dragon Baby felt nauseous just looking at it.

It had stayed in the Qin Family courtyard for too long and was sick of looking at Fire Mulberry Trees.

However, something even more devastating for Dragon Baby happened next.

The two Maids came over carrying a pot of Flood Dragon meat.

The savory aroma of the Flood Dragon meat wafted into its nostrils, almost causing it to revert to its original form.

Dragon Baby suppressed it with all its might, fearing that if it reverted to its original form, it would be stewed by the Empress of the Underworld.

“It smells so good.”

Qin Feng smelled the aroma of the meat and felt his appetite whetted.

“As long as Xiao Feng likes it, I will kill one Sage Realm Flood Dragon every day to nourish you.”

The Empress of the Underworld said with a meaningful smile.

Beside them, Dragon Baby's small hand suddenly covered its mouth with a 'shua' sound.

Its large eyes were filled with terror.

It was frightened.

She even killed Sage Realm Flood Dragons, and one a day at that, while it was only in the Liezhen Realm.

It felt a chill running down its back.

Especially since the Empress of the Underworld had glanced at it while speaking.

Dragon Baby wished it could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

“No... no need.”

Qin Feng waved his hand: “I'm only in the Liezhen Realm; I can't eat that much.”

“True, then I'll kill one every three days.”

The Empress of the Underworld nodded.

At this time, Si Qin and Yu Qi gently placed a large pot of Flood Dragon meat on the jade table.

The meat was tender and fragrant, and a terrifying essence of heaven and earth flowed over it.

“Let's eat together! Si Qin, Yu Qi.”

The Empress of the Underworld was very easygoing as she spoke to the two Maids.

“Thank you, Great Empress of the Underworld.”

After kneeling in thanks, the two Maids took their seats one after another.

They chose to sit next to Hui Lan; after all, they were all Maids!

They had common topics to discuss.

“Start eating, start eating.”

With a wave of her jade hand, the Empress of the Underworld cut off a piece of Flood Dragon meat and handed it to Qin Feng.

“Xiao Feng, try it first and see if it's to your taste.”

“I'll blow on it for you.”

“Hu, hu~!”

The Empress of the Underworld pressed close to Qin Feng, fearing the meat was too hot and might burn him.

Qin Feng smiled slightly and opened his mouth to take a bite.

Being personally fed dragon meat by an Empress—the sense of status was immense.

The Flood Dragon meat entered his mouth.

The meat was tender and delicious, melting instantly and refreshing the heart.

Amidst the meat's fragrance was a faint floral scent and a terrifying Yao Beast essence.

The essence of heaven and earth contained in the Sage Realm dragon meat caused Qin Feng's cultivation to grow continuously.

A trace of dragon breath circulated within his body.

Then it slowly melted, dispersing into his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

“As expected of Sage Realm Flood Dragon meat, it's delicious.”

“It's truly fragrant!”

After finishing a bite, Qin Feng was full of praise.

“Mo Yun, you should eat too!”

“Come, I'll feed you!”

Returning the favor, showing affection on the spot...!

It was the first time the two Maids had seen such a scene, and blushes instantly appeared on their faces.

“Hui Lan, come, let's eat as well.”

Si Qin took a piece and handed it to Hui Lan.

“Thank you!”

Hui Lan smiled politely.

Zhu Yan also joined in. With a swipe of its furry paw, it snatched a piece of dragon bone.

Inside the dragon bone was Dragon Marrow, which was extremely precious.

A single sip of Sage Realm Dragon Marrow was worth decades or even a century of hard cultivation.

Swoosh...!

Zhu Yan was very thoughtful this time. After grabbing the Dragon Marrow, it flickered and went under the table.

Crack...!

“Here...!”

It split the dragon bone in two and handed the other half to Dragon Baby.

Dragon Baby's whole body trembled, and sparks flew from its large eyes.

“You...!”

Dragon Baby wanted to curse at Zhu Yan but didn't dare to speak loudly.

It tremblingly reached out its small hand and took the dragon bone.

The fragrance of the Dragon Marrow lingered in the air.

Dragon Baby suppressed its anger and, with a shaking hand, took a small sip of the Dragon Marrow.

Gulp~!

“Mmm, it's truly fragrant!”

After a swallow, Dragon Baby's eyes lit up as it spoke.
