Chapter 29: Top-Grade Chef Obtained! "What’s going on with him?"
Huai Ye didn’t get angry because of the earlier sentence by Zhao Qing. Rather, she was curiously looking at Yang Lele’s departing back.
Although Zhao Qing didn’t want to bother with this newly arrived fat snake, she still said a word, "Cultivate."
"He’s actually so diligent? No wonder my father said that he’s a hardworking and promising person that will be able to achieve great things in the future."
"Hardworking? Achieve great things?" Zhao Qing started. After that, she smiled. "If he is hardworking, he wouldn’t have come back so late. It’s just that he isn’t willing to waste the six hours cultivating in the gravity field, so he isn’t as good as what your father made him out to be."
"Gravity field?"
"Right, there’s a rule in our Immortal Sect. We can only cultivate for six hours a day there. Since there are four more hours before the Zi-hour is passed, it’s destined that he has wasted two hours today."
"Are two hours so important?"
Huai Ye couldn’t understand. Wasn’t it just two hours? Why did it sound as urgent as those people who ate her father’s dishes for the first time?
Zhao Qing shook her head and said, "Little snake, you will soon know how important two hours are. More accurately, it’s 18 hours!"
Huai Ye was somewhat confused. "Isn’t it just two hours? How did it become 18 hours?"
"You will understand very soon."
Zhao Qing kept her in suspense before turning and heading in another direction. Huai Ye called out twice. But sadly, Zhao Qing acted like she didn’t hear anything.
After that, she heard Yun Liao suddenly crying out. "Oh right, I still have two hours that I haven’t used yet!"
Two hours again?
The doubt on Huai Ye’s face grew increasingly intense.
What the hell was the gravity field? Was cultivating for two hours within that important?
Huai Ye immediately turned and looked at Wen Ping as she asked, "Could this be an act?"
"What do you think?"
"They are putting up an act for sure. Two hours can pass in the blink of an eye, so how precious can it be to cultivators? Moreover, the lifespan of a cultivator at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement is roughly 200 years, so what are merely two hours?"
"Only by cherishing time will time care for you. Follow me, the place I want to bring you to isn’t here."
After speaking, Wen Ping walked forward.
However, Huai Ye was still extremely curious and kept glancing back at the forest path while walking. She then shook her head.
All of these had to be an act.
Yes, she must be correct.
...
At the back mountain area of the Cloudmist Mountain.
Stars dotted the night sky, shining and cascading their light down onto the dormitory area at the back mountain, causing the pond to have an additional hint of beauty. But before Wen Ping arrived there, he stood at the bluestone pathway and pointed at the dormitory area.
Huai Ye immediately sighed in admiration. "What a special place. There’s actually a small island at such a high mountain peak. This is my first time seeing a place like this."
Wen Ping spoke, "This is the place to suppress your demonic nature."
"This place?"
"Correct. Follow me."
He then brought Huai Ye to the bridge outside the dormitory area and said, "Do you want to drink tea?"
"Ah?"
"Water or tea?"
"No need, I’m not thirsty." Huai Ye didn’t predict Wen Ping would suddenly ask something like this. After rejecting it, she turned and walked toward the bridge.
First step!
The wooden planks of the bridge rang out along with the sound of footsteps.
Second step!
Third step!
Fourth step!
Huai Ye moved increasingly quicker, but her expression became calmer and calmer. She had originally thought that this place was some impressive blessed land since Wen Ping had told her that this place could suppress her demonic nature.
But from the looks of things now, it should have nothing to do with this place.
This made her feel nervous for nothing.
However, Wen Ping then sat near the deck of the bridge and casually said, "You don’t have to look around. This place is just this large. Little fat snake, remove the suppression force on your demonic nature fully the moment I count to three."
"Why?"
"You will understand after the suppression removal."
"Let me tell you first. If I remove the suppression, I might transform into a fat snake. At that time, this place might be destroyed. This is such a good residential area, and I won’t be compensating you if I damage it."
"I don’t require your compensation."
After looking at Wen Ping’s determined gaze, Huai Ye’s heart was somewhat moved. As Wen Ping counted to three, she started to slowly weaken the suppression of her demonic nature. Call it trust or just her wanting to try it, in any case, she had come all the way here, so she couldn’t possibly return home without doing anything, right?
