“Eh!” Yue Qianchou paused in mid-air, looking toward Cultivation Hall. He saw hundreds of figures streaking across the sky. This was his first time seeing Floating Immortal Island deploy so many people at once. Suppressing his impulse to go look, he shook his head and thought to himself: ‘It’s none of my business anyway. I’ll just ask Old Fei about it later.’
Ten Thousand Fragrance Garden could be considered the place Yue Qianchou was most familiar with on Floating Immortal Island besides the Alchemy Pavilion. The disciples outside the main administrative hall saw it was him and didn’t even bother to stop him, barely glancing before looking away. He swaggered in as if returning to his own home.
Fei Denan sat in the center of the main hall with three female disciples of various ages standing before him, apparently giving them instructions about something. Upon seeing Yue Qianchou, Fei Denan’s expression darkened slightly as he waved to the three: “You may withdraw for now!” The three took their leave.
Yue Qianchou recognized the three women. As they passed each other, they nodded to one another, but he noticed their expressions didn’t look too good. Walking to the center, he casually bowed: “Elder Fei.”
Then he touched his stomach: “Elder Fei, do you have anything to eat here? I haven’t eaten for several days.” He said this very smoothly.
“Hmph! What do you think my Ten Thousand Fragrance Garden is? I don’t have anything for you to eat here,” Fei Denan said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Yue Qianchou made him furious. Every time this guy came, he was either deceiving his daughter or coming to take things. When he really couldn’t get anything else, he’d take food. In short, Ten Thousand Fragrance Garden had now become his kitchen. Currently speaking, this rogue simply wouldn’t visit without something to gain. When they looked for him, he couldn’t be found, but when he was hungry, he’d come on his own. How infuriating was that?
Yue Qianchou scratched his head: “Is that so! I’m really hungry. Let me go find something to eat first. This disciple takes his leave.” Without hesitation, he turned and walked away. Fei Denan’s facial muscles twitched with signs of eruption.
“Yue Qianchou!” Furong’s voice came as she flashed out from behind the hall, holding the cheapest storage bag Yue Qianchou had given her, walking quickly toward him.
“Oh! Senior Sister! You’re here too?” Yue Qianchou turned around in surprise. He had this same expression every time – an expression Fei Denan absolutely hated.
Furong nodded and asked weakly: “Are you leaving?”
“Sigh! No choice. You don’t know how busy and tired I am at the Alchemy Pavilion. Senior Sister, I haven’t eaten for several days. Let me go find a place to fill my stomach first, then I’ll come back to play with Senior Sister.” Yue Qianchou waved goodbye.
“Wait… wait,” Furong said somewhat anxiously.
“Senior Sister, whatever it is, can we talk after I fill my stomach first?” Yue Qianchou also sounded somewhat aggrieved.
“I… I…” Furong didn’t know what to say. She turned her head and looked timidly toward Fei Denan.
The latter, seeing Yue Qianchou deceiving his daughter again, was full of anger, his beard moving without wind. But suddenly seeing his daughter’s troubled face and pitiful eyes seeking help, Fei Denan’s anger dissipated completely. His heart shattered into pieces as he waved helplessly: “Take him to the back to eat something!”
Actually, with Fei Denan’s early Tribulation Crossing cultivation, he no longer needed to consume worldly grains. But his daughter hadn’t reached Core Formation stage to abstain from food yet and still needed to eat, so he specially had people buy various delicacies. However, his daughter rarely ate them. Seeing her frail body, Fei Denan’s heart filled with endless self-reproach.
In the rear hall, Furong laid out a full table of food that Fei Denan had bought, like presenting treasures. Yue Qianchou unceremoniously grabbed things and stuffed them in his mouth, constantly saying “Mmm, ahh, delicious, delicious.”
“Wow! I’ve had that before – it’s roasted duck from ‘Quanjude’ in the capital of China. Haven’t had it in so long. Senior Sister, please help me get some.” Yue Qianchou had goose liver stuffed in his mouth and was pointing at the roasted duck with a chicken leg, speaking unclearly. Furong obediently brought it over.
Sitting to the side, Fei Denan felt somewhat pained seeing how Yue Qianchou ate. All this food was bought for his daughter, yet he acted like he wouldn’t stop until he finished everything.
Yue Qianchou occasionally glanced at him, thinking: ‘Old bastard, you forced me to help your daughter pick manure for over a year back then. Now I’m here to collect interest – not eating would be a waste.’ He grabbed a wine jar and gulped directly from the spout, washing down the food in his mouth. Suddenly he paused: “Senior Sister, don’t just watch me eat! You eat too!” He tore off a duck leg and handed it over: “Senior Sister, I won’t be happy if you don’t finish eating.”
Furong nodded obediently, took it with her delicate hands, and began nibbling at it carefully. At times like this, Fei Denan’s gaze toward Yue Qianchou would become somewhat gentler. Whether these words were lies to deceive his daughter or not, at least they were well-intentioned lies beneficial to her health.
“Elder Fei, when I came just now, I saw hundreds of people from Cultivation Hall flying out of Floating Immortal Island together. Has something happened outside the island?” Yue Qianchou was very good at timing his questions, knowing this was when the other was least hostile toward him.
Furong held the duck leg in her small teeth, curiously looking toward the father she had never called father, seemingly also waiting for his answer. Anyway, she was very interested in knowing about any topic Yue Qianchou brought from outside, because she never wanted to interact with other people – Yue Qianchou was an exception.
Fei Denan unconsciously averted his gaze from his daughter’s ruined face and said gravely: “It’s all because of trouble caused by Qingguang Sect.”
“Qingguang Sect?” Yue Qianchou asked, noticing Furong had almost finished the duck. He casually picked up a pig’s trotter and handed it over: “That’s all bones now, stop gnawing. Eat this.” He was full now and had the mind to take care of others eating.
Furong put down the bone in her hand, took the pig’s trotter, and slowly gnawed on it, still maintaining a listening expression to their conversation. She suddenly found the thing in her hand somewhat difficult to bite, but still chewed carefully. As long as it was something Yue Qianchou told her to eat, she would eat it no matter how unpalatable.
Fei Denan paused and said: “Qingguang Sect organized something called a ‘Demon Elimination Assembly,’ pulling together some small sects and causing trouble everywhere, constantly striking hard against the demonic path. As a result, they killed the grandson of a Grand Elder from Blood Demon Palace. Blood Demon Palace is the second-ranked major sect of the demonic path – even compared to Ten Thousand Demon Palace, it’s not inferior. How could they fear some bullshit ‘Demon Elimination Assembly’ organized by Qingguang Sect? In their fury, half of Blood Demon Palace mobilized, consecutively destroying seven or eight righteous sects and even launching a strong attack on Qingguang Sect. Fortunately, Qingguang Sect isn’t some weak sect either – they had quite a few hidden experts inside and actually held their ground, preventing Blood Demon Palace from succeeding for the time being. But they can’t hold out much longer. Hearing that the opponents want to deploy more forces, Qingguang Sect panicked too. So they came to our Floating Immortal Island under the banner of united assistance.”
Yue Qianchou had heard about the ‘Demon Elimination Assembly’ from Yan Zixia, but he hadn’t expected Qingguang Sect to cause such a big incident. His heart became somewhat chaotic – Qu Ping’er was still at Qingguang Sect! He hurriedly asked: “Are those people who left from Cultivation Hall going to assist Qingguang Sect?”
