Chapter 180: The Sun Flower Emperor's Moment of Glory

"No, I didn't hear anything."

"Why are you picking these things?"

Fang Ritu's bright, sparkling eyes looked at Ye Bai, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Willow leaf buds can be made into a cold salad after being blanched."

"And the locust tree is even more unique."

"They can be steamed with flour, or coated in flour and deep-fried."

Listening to the truly tempting words, beautiful images appeared in Fang Ritu's mind, and her stomach grew hungry again.

A strand of crystal-clear saliva dripped from Fang Ritu's mouth.

Listening to Ye Bai's description, she became hungry.

Sister is hungry! Rumble, rumble.

Fang Ritu was hungry again.

Once hungry, Fang Ritu's combat power would plummet.

Even though she had already eaten so much, why were every one of her body's cells screaming, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry."

This was something Fang Ritu had never encountered before.

And for this secret mission, Fang Ritu's partner couldn't come with her due to a last-minute matter, so she could only make a bunch of food.

These people from the Gospel Society were a trap set specifically for her, consuming Fang Ritu's stamina every night.

Because Fang Ritu's combat power is related to gourmet food.

The more delicious the food, the higher her combat power; conversely, once there is no food, Fang Ritu's combat power becomes weak and fragile.

The cells in her body would then cannibalize Fang Ritu.

Often, after a high-intensity battle, Fang Ritu has to eat at least a hundred kilograms of Exotic Beast meat, and it all has to be high-grade Exotic Beast meat.

So the Resurrection Society calculated that they wanted to make Fang Ritu fall into this pit, using Fang Ritu's weakness to finish her off.

To become one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, one must at least be a powerhouse of the seventh rank or higher.

Moreover, Fang Ritu became one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions at a young age; if she were turned into a corpse puppet, it would be a huge blow to the Yan Country.

It's just that only a few people should know about this weakness of Fang Ritu's; why would the people from the Gospel Society know, and even set up a trap targeting Fang Ritu's weakness in advance?

The timing is truly quite coincidental.

"Sorry, because of the special nature of my talent, as long as I hear about gourmet food, my saliva will secrete involuntarily, and my digestive ability is faster than others."

"Of course, my appetite is also much larger than others."

Fang Ritu's ears turned red, a blush appeared on her face, and her voice grew quieter as she spoke, the last sentence sounding like a mosquito's buzz.

Actually, according to the Information System, the Resurrection Society's plan should have been successful, but the only exception this time was that a Ye Bai had mixed in.

A Ye Bai who could cook and prepare meals.

"As long as I eat delicious food, my strength will grow infinitely."

"And my great hammer will also improve accordingly."

Some Pet Beast Masters rely on the power of their Pet Beasts, while some Pet Beast Masters treat Pet Beasts as tools, especially Pet Beast Masters with equipment-type Exotic Beasts.

"Sure, wait a moment."

Ye Bai took a large pot directly out of his Pet Beast Space, and the Space Pelican automatically sprayed a stream of water from its mouth.

Since Ye Bai did not have a water-type Pet Beast on hand, he temporarily borrowed the Space Pelican.

Now it can freely manipulate the space pouches within its body, dividing them into individual spaces.

The things in each space do not interfere with each other.

"Sun Flower Emperor."

Ye Bai said softly to the Sun Flower Emperor, and the Sun Flower Emperor immediately understood Ye Bai's meaning.

The Sun Flower Emperor's leaves began to elongate, its leaves crystal clear, emitting a Sharp Cold radiance.

A streak of emerald-green cold light flashed by, and a willow tree as thick as a bowl was transformed into many pieces of firewood.

Countless willow catkins flew in the sky, just like a layer of snow falling from the heavens.

Vines were seen growing out of the ground, wrapping around the wood and stacking it together.

The Little Charcoal Dog was summoned by Ye Bai from the Pet Beast Space.

It snorted fiercely, and a cluster of Xianghuo landed on the wood.

At first, only a wisp of blue smoke emerged, but soon a raging fire began to burn, and the firewood crackled.

Before long, strings of small bubbles appeared on the large iron pot, and wisps of steam rose up.

"If you want to blanch it, you don't have a colander, so it won't be easy to drain the water, right?"

Fang Ritu hesitated for a moment and asked Ye Bai.

"Who says I don't have one? There are willow branches here."

"You should know that willow branches can be woven into all kinds of baskets, right?"

Ye Bai smiled.

Fang Ritu was speechless; I know there are willow branches, but can you weave them?

In any case, she only knew how to eat; asking her to do manual labor was impossible.

At this moment, the Sun Flower Emperor picked up a willow branch, and its body emitted an emerald-green light.

The willow branches began to interweave with each other.

It was as if an invisible hand was weaving the willow branches, and soon a colander appeared.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

Fang Ritu looked at the exquisitely crafted colander and let out screams of excitement.

A confident smile appeared on the face of the Sunflower Emperor.

It could be seen driving more and more willow branches, weaving pots, bowls, ladles, basins, and rattan chairs one after another.

Moreover, the Sunflower Emperor personally wove willow branches to form an exquisitely crafted bag. The bag was shaped like the Sunflower Emperor itself and emitted a faint fragrance of willow branches.

The appearance of this bag satisfied Fang Ritu's fantasy about bags.

"Thank you."

Fang Ritu made a sound like a mosquito buzzing.

The Sunflower Emperor waved its hand.

It began its self-training; the Sunflower Emperor picked up two huge Butcher Knives taller than itself and began to brandish them.

One of the Butcher Knives exuded a pitch-black, cold aura, as if a Black Water giant flood dragon were staring at you intently.

This Butcher Knife was like a crescent moon scimitar, emitting wisps of chilling cold under the sun's rays.

It was named Black Water Blade by Ye Bai.

The other Butcher Knife had a purple halo all over its body and was covered in scales, looking as if a ferocious poisonous flood dragon were watching someone.

During use, this Butcher Knife would gradually seep out venom to erode the opponent's body.

The method to remove the toxin was also very simple: just insert this Butcher Knife into the opponent's body, and the Butcher Knife would automatically draw out the toxins within and plunder the opponent's life force.

It was named Flood Dragon Butcher Knife by Ye Bai.

As the Sunflower Emperor continues to kill Exotic Beasts with the Butcher Knives, these two Butcher Knives will one day condense their own souls and become a type of equipment-based Pet Beast.

The Sunflower Emperor kept brandishing the Butcher Knives in its hands, emitting sounds of tearing through the air.

Do not be fooled by how thin and weak the Sunflower Emperor looks now, like an ordinary sunflower; in reality, when it reveals its true form, it is a giant beast with intertwined roots, surrounded by endless sunflowers.

It is by no means a soft Exotic Beast.

After the water boiled, Ye Bai blanched the willow leaf buds directly, then scooped them out with a strainer to cool.

The blanched willow leaf buds radiated a crisp, tender green color.

At this time, Ye Bai placed a willow-woven steamer onto the large pot.

Before one knew it, the washed locust flowers had been evenly coated with a layer of flour by Ye Bai.

He placed a portion of the locust flowers onto the steamer to cook.

Before long, a thick fragrance of locust flowers wafted out.

Smelling this alluring aroma, Fang Ritu became even hungrier.

Every cell in her body was clamoring that she was hungry, she was hungry.

She was even hungrier.

Fang Ritu clutched her stomach and squatted down; this could alleviate the feeling of raging fire burning in her stomach.

At this moment, Ye Bai tossed garlic, chili peppers, and a long green onion to the Sunflower Emperor.

The Sunflower Emperor understood and used the two Butcher Knives to cut the garlic, chili peppers, and long green onion into fragments.

Then it placed these ingredients onto a plate made of woven willow.

Ye Bai placed the willow leaf buds on top.

Sesame oil, soy sauce, and vinegar then flowed down from the Sunflower Emperor's petals, and Fang Ritu was instantly stunned.

How did this guy become a walking seasoning rack?

Ye Bai seemed to see through Fang Ritu's confusion.

"There is still space inside my Sunflower Emperor's petals, though the space is not large."

"So I modified this into a place that can store seasonings."

Ye Bai smiled and placed the cooked cold-tossed willow leaf buds into Fang Ritu's hands.

At the same time, Ye Bai also handed Fang Ritu a pair of chopsticks made from two willow branches.

"That's great. I thought that if I were trapped here, a long time might lead to a rapid decline in combat power."

"Now that I have the delicious food made by Mr. Ye Bai, there should be no problem for us to fight our way out."

The sound of her voice became smaller and smaller; she had been completely bewitched by the delicious food.

Fang Ritu used the chopsticks to pick up some willow leaf buds.

These willow leaf buds were only the size of a thumbnail, yet they were exceptionally crisp and tender.

She put them into her mouth and began to savor them carefully.

The willow leaf buds were exceptionally crisp and tender, emitting a 'pu-pu-pu' sound the moment they touched her teeth.

Although the taste had a hint of slight bitterness, it blended perfectly with the sesame oil and vinegar, as if it were the finishing touch.

At this moment, every cell in Fang Ritu's body was cheering and leaping for joy, moved to tears by having eaten such delicious food.

This time, Fang Ritu changed her previous style of wolfing down food in large mouthfuls.

She felt that such delicious food should be savored carefully.

Five-Finger Stone.

After killing so many Iron Armor Savage Snakes, Shark was somewhat exhausted.

She retreated gradually in the direction Ye Bai had retreated.

Shark saw an ancient courtyard.

The closer she got to the courtyard, the lighter the Iron Armor Savage Snakes' attacks became.

It seemed these Iron Armor Savage Snakes intended to force her to enter the courtyard.

Shark's body had already begun to heat up slightly, proving that Shark was nearing her limit.

"This enemy just wants to force us to enter here."

"They are probably afraid that we will leak the news."

The Shark was hovering and not moving forward; she was hesitating whether or not to go inside.

"No, even if I don't want to go in, I have to; Ye Bai is inside, after all."

At this moment, the black shadow manipulating the Iron Armor Savage Snake to the side grew a bit anxious: "Why did this guy stop and not move once he reached the Zuwu?"

Last night I wrote about the Zuwu sacrificial spirit, and then I kept walking and walking in a big house, sigh. (End of chapter)
