Chapter 6: Barbecue

"What are you doing?" After a moment of silence, the girl in the blue dress glanced at the roasted meat in Feng Ruo's hand and asked curiously.

I—I am eating barbecue!" Feng Ruo rolled his eyes and ultimately decided to speak the truth. In his view, he neither had any Five Elements Stones nor any good sets of swords or weapons. The only thing he had in hand, the Yingyue short knife, probably wouldn't catch the other party's attention. Therefore, even if he were to be robbed, there was nothing of value to take.

The dark shadow turned out to be a large silver eagle with a wingspan of about 3 zhang, and atop the eagle sat a blue-clad young girl with delicate features and snow-white skin, approximately the same age as Kong Fei, also at the mid-stage of Qi Refinement.

Upon witnessing this scene, Feng Ruo even felt like crying. What is this? A robbery? How did things change so quickly? That was something he had painstakingly baked to reward himself

Lightly floating down from several zhang high in the air, the girl in blue directly approached the somewhat dazed Feng Ruo and pointed at the piece of roasted meat, saying: "Give it to me!"

However, the girl in the blue dress and the book were completely unconcerned by Feng Ruoyou's resentful gaze, simply enjoying the roasted meat with great delight. Before long, her two small hands had become greasy.

Hmm! Delicious! I want more tomorrow!" The girl in the blue dress wiped her mouth with satisfaction, then moved her hands slightly. A faint blue light flashed, and under Feng Ruo's astonished gaze, a water ball of moderate size appeared out of thin air. It only disappeared after the girl in the blue dress cleaned the grease from her hands.

Before Feng Ruo could react, the piece of meat on the short knife had already been roasted to a golden yellow, emitting a tantalizing aroma. The girl in the blue attire swiftly snatched it away with a delicate dagger, then sat down on a stone opposite Feng Ruo. After carefully examining the piece of roasted meat for a moment, she began to eat it calmly, taking small bites.

The girl in the blue attire, however, paid no attention to the somewhat dazed Feng Ruo. She clapped her hands, summoned the silver eagle, and in the blink of an eye, vanished into the vast night.

However, this girl in blue is also one of the three notorious bullies among the disciples of Qingyun Sect, known as the Three Great Bullies. Kong Fei had long since kindly warned him to avoid provoking these three as much as possible; if he accidentally crossed paths with them, he should just hope for the best

"Tsk tsk! In fact, this kind of life is quite good!" Feng Ruomei thought contentedly as he took a deep breath of the aroma wafting through the air. However, just as he was about to enjoy the exquisite meal he had prepared, a massive shadow suddenly appeared above him, accompanied by a howling wind.

Feng was startled and nearly dropped the roasted meat from the short knife in Yingyue's hand into the fire. When he looked up to see the shadow clearly, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart

However, battle spirit birds are different; they are usually spirit beasts of level 3 or above, strong and powerful, exceptionally fierce, capable of carrying two people at the same time, and their flying speed far exceeds that of the white-feathered crane. More importantly, when encountering enemies, battle spirit birds can fight alongside their masters!

Oh! The girl in the blue dress nodded, gently patting the silver eagle, and instantly, the eagle vanished as if it were mere air. Regarding this scene, Feng Ruo was not particularly surprised; he had long understood the secret behind it. This was merely a method of sealing the tamed spirit bird into a containment ring, which was both convenient and allowed the spirit bird to rest well. However, the containment ring capable of holding this silver eagle must be quite expensive. Moreover, why was this little girl still lingering after satisfying her curiosity?

This girl in blue, Feng Ruo, is naturally recognized; she is also a third-generation disciple of the Qingyun Sect. However, her status is significantly higher than that of Kong Fei and others, as she is not only one of the few talented cultivators among the third-generation disciples of the Qingyun Sect, but also a core disciple of the sect. It is said that she is about to enter the later stage of Qi Refinement.

Of course, Feng Ruo must also admit that the greatest source of pressure for him comes from the silver giant eagle perched beside the blue-clad girl. That is a genuine battle spirit beast, a level 3 spirit beast that even the wealthiest unscrupulous merchant, Qu Yun, cannot afford.

Is this... magic?" Feng Ruoxin thought in shock. Since arriving at Qingyun Mountain nearly half a year ago, he had yet to witness true magic. He had only heard Kong Fei speak of this type of powerful spell with immense destructive capability. It was said that this magic could ignore distance within a hundred zhang, requiring no aim, and could severely injure an opponent. Unfortunately, even Kong Fei himself had not mastered a single spell, as one must possess sufficient magical power to practice magic. Typically, only those who have reached the late stage of Qi Refinement can learn even the most basic spell.

The gap between combat spirit birds and transportation spirit birds can only be described as immense. Take the white-feathered crane, for instance; it can only be classified as a first-level spirit beast. Aside from being able to carry one person in flight, it is of no further use. In the event of danger, it may even abandon its master and flee.

The smoke from the cooking rises gently, and the aroma of meat wafts through the air. Accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, Feng Ruo fills the fire pit with dry firewood while turning a piece of beast meat skewered on a short knife reflecting the moonlight. The meat has already been roasted to a golden hue, and under the brilliant sunset, it presents a unique scene.

Oh? Is that thing edible? The blue-clad girl's large eyes seemed to light up, but unfortunately, Feng Ruo did not see it

However, unlike Kong Fei, this girl in blue exuded an intimidating aura that made it difficult to look directly at her. Coupled with the faint blue glow emanating from her Lingyun outfit and the third-grade sword weapon radiating a murderous intent on her back, she distinctly stood out from the crowd

For survival in the wild, Feng Ruo was already quite adept, after all, his more than ten years of military service were not in vain. Unfortunately, although the scenery of Qingyun Mountain was beautiful, various seasonings and salt were hard to come by, so he had to make do, thinking it would surely be much more delicious than those dreadful rice cakes

Zhi Shi Feng Ruo had never imagined that one day, one of the three major bullies would visit his humble little territory

"Hmm, it's edible! And quite delicious!" Feng Ruo said with a smile. He naturally did not believe that a clean and noble young girl would compete with him, a dirty fellow, for roasted meat. Therefore, it was better to send her away sooner rather than later; otherwise, if the roasted meat cooled down, its taste would diminish significantly.

It is precisely for this reason that, in Feng Ruo's imagination, this spell is undoubtedly incredibly mysterious. However, no matter how he thinks about it, he cannot understand how the spell can hit its target like an archer, aiming and shooting with precision.
