It was clear that the relationship between Venerable Yunhai and Saint King Minghao was quite good, and their conversation was rather familiar.
The two started chatting.
Seeing that they wouldnât end their conversation anytime soon, Wang Licui didnât bother with them and turned to the beautiful Winged Human from the Baiyu Clan she had rescued, Baiyu Chaolu, comforting her in a low voice: "Miss Baiyu, thereâs no need to be afraid. Iâve dealt with many self-righteous brats like that; just give them a good beating, and theyâll behave. If one beating doesnât work, give them some more."
"Thank you, Miss Lici, for saving me." Baiyu Chaolu expressed her gratitude with a solemn bow to Wang Licui.
If it werenât for Wang Licui, she feared she would have been forcibly taken by that bully of a young master and sold into slavery. What would happen after that was beyond her imagination.
Entering a noble family was as deep as the sea; that was the blood and tears history of many Winged women.
However, despite her gratitude, she harbored deep worries in her heart.
Unlike Wang Licui, she didnât have a noble status and was free of burdens. If she angered the Ancient Saint clan Ying, it might cause the Baiyu clan to have no place to stand in the Central Lands.
Moreover, after this incident, she feared she could no longer keep her job, and whether other restaurants would hire her was uncertain. How would she earn Cultivation resources for the younger generation of her clan in the future?
Amid her worries, some of it showed on her face.
"Sister Baiyu, have you eaten? How about eating something together?" Wang Licui noticed her complexion was a little off, assuming she hadnât recovered from the earlier incident, and advised, "I also have times when Iâm in a bad mood and worried. As long as I have a big meal, all my worries go away."
Baiyu Chaolu hesitated a bit, but seeing Wang Licuiâs sincere expression, she couldnât help but nod: "I havenât eaten yet, so letâs have a bit together."
She mentally calculated her funds, feeling slightly more confident.
She had earned some money recently. After the meal, she would quietly find the shopkeeper to settle the bill, as a small token of gratitude to Miss Lici.
While they were talking, Venerable Yunhaiâs voice came from not far away: "Lici, come over and greet Elder Minghao."
"Oh," said Wang Licui, immediately bouncing over and respectfully saluting, "Lici greets Elder Minghao."
"This girl is rather honest and well-behaved, and she has quite a sense of justice," Saint King Minghao remarked with an amiable smile, complimenting her. "Brother Yunhai, youâve taken in a good disciple."
"Not at all~ Our Lici still has room to grow," Venerable Yunhai said modestly, but the satisfaction and pride were evident on his face, visible to anyone.
"Have you not finished your meal yet?" Saint King Minghao didnât point out his pride, smiling as he said, "Since weâve met, itâs fate. Iâll have the kitchen bring more dishes for you two. This meal is on me."
"This, isnât it inappropriate?" Venerable Yunhaiâs eyes briefly flashed, but he showed a rather embarrassed expression on his face, "Our Lici eats a lot. Iâm afraid it might cost Your Highness Minghao quite a bit."
"Eats a lot? Thatâs wonderful! I run a dining establishment; why would I be afraid of big eaters?" Saint King Minghao laughed heartily, dismissing it. "Itâs just a meal. No matter how much it is, I can afford it. Eat to your heartâs content, until youâre full."
"Thank you, Elder Minghao. Youâre truly a good person. When I become successful in the future, I will surely repay you well." Wang Licuiâs eyes showed gratitude.
While speaking, she deftly took out a small notebook and solemnly wrote Saint King Minghaoâs name in it.
Wang Licui felt very lucky; along the way, many benefactors had reached out to help her.
"Alright, then Iâll wait for you to repay me," Saint King Minghao laughed heartily.
In high spirits, he didnât rush to leave, and with the presence of this projection, he sat down to accompany them, instructing the shopkeeper to set up another table nearby, and soon the table was full of fine food and drinks.
"Then I wonât hold back." Wang Licuiâs eyes sparkled, and she immediately began to devour the meal ravenously.
Since her Cultivation base broke through to the Divine Power Territory, a special devouring space had formed inside her, which allowed her to temporarily store energy and food, like having an extra stomach.
This devouring space was vast, but unlike Storage Space, anything swallowed into it would enter a slow digestion state, eventually being completely digested. Even souls or minerals that were swallowed would meet the same fate.
If she could fully fill this devouring space, she wouldnât need to eat or drink for a long time to maintain her bodyâs consumption. If she conserved her energy, this period could last for years.
As a side effect, if she stopped eating, Wang Licui would remain in a state of "hunger," potentially becoming delirious if it became extreme.
Yet, even with this drawback, the Bloodline advantage was already incredibly powerful.
For instance, if she were trapped in a relic, Heavenly Abode, or some void creatureâs nest within the Void, under the same circumstances, she could last years longer than other cultivators, increasing her chances of being rescued and surviving.
When she advances to the Transcendent Void Realm or True Immortal Realm and can control her body to enter slumber, she might even extend this time to decades, centuries, millennia...
