Chapter 149: Eating a Little Extra for You All

~7 min read 1,328 words

"Enough!"

Heifeng finally realized he was no match for Zhang Yi; he panted heavily, his eyes filled with fear, "What exactly are you?"

Better to find out the other party's background first.

It was now clear that this brat was definitely not just a simple Wangri Bird.

"Me? I'm just a bird-man with an empty stomach."

Zhang Yi licked his lips, "Now, I'm even more interested in you."

As he spoke, he vanished from his spot again and appeared in front of Heifeng.

Heifeng's eyes widened in terror; before he could react in any way, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Ah!" Heifeng let out a miserable scream as blood gushed out.

Zhang Yi grabbed Heifeng's heart, pulled hard, and tore it out.

"Bang!"

Heifeng's massive body crashed to the ground, lifeless.

Zhang Yi looked at the heart in his hand and nodded with satisfaction: "As expected, it tastes much better than a Demon Pet."

He opened his mouth and swallowed the heart in one gulp.

Nudi and He Lao, hiding to the side, were already dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a cruel scene, and they never expected that Zhang Yi would actually eat Heifeng.

"This... this is just too..." Nudi covered her mouth, her face pale.

He Lao was also a picture of shock, unable to speak for a long time.

After finishing the heart, Zhang Yi licked his lips and looked at Nudi and He Lao: "What, do you want to try some too?"

Nudi and He Lao were so scared they backed away repeatedly, waving their hands: "No... no need..."

"Alright then."

Zhang Yi shrugged, "Since you won't eat, I'll eat it all."

"What... what kind of monster is he?"

He Lao muttered to himself.

Nudi shook her head: "I don't know, I only know that he is a lunatic."

He stuck out his bright red tongue and licked his claws, looking as if he hadn't had enough.

Nudi and He Lao remained frozen in place, like two stone statues, not moving at all.

"Let's go, let's head back."

Zhang Yi said indifferently, turning to walk down the mountain.

Nudi and He Lao finally came to their senses and hurriedly followed.

Along the way, both of them remained silent, stealing glances at Zhang Yi from time to time.

He Lao couldn't help but ask, "Little friend Zhang Yi, are you still hungry?"

Zhang Yi laughed, "This stomach of mine is a bottomless pit; I can eat as much as there is."

He Lao:...

Upon returning to the Monster King Palace, He Lao immediately reported the sequence of events to the Monster King.

"What? Heifeng is dead? Eaten... eaten by that Wangri Bird?!" The Monster King's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The Demon Clan Spy that had plagued the Monster Race for years had just been dealt with like that?

Was the world finally at peace?

And all of this was thanks to this tiny Wangri Bird before him?

He Lao nodded with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true; this old subject saw it with his own eyes."

The Monster King's gaze fell upon Zhang Yi, his expression complex.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Monster King said the word "good" three times, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

"Zhang Yi, you have performed a great service; if you want any reward, just ask!"

Zhang Yi tilted his head, seemingly in thought.

"Your Majesty, you promised before that if I accomplished this, you would let me go to your Palace Treasury to eat my fill, to my heart's content."

Zhang Yi grinned, revealing his stark white teeth.

The smile on the Monster King's face froze instantly.

He recalled He Lao's description—that Zhang Yi had eaten both Heifeng and his Demon Pet...

His treasury held countless rare treasures; if this little fellow ate them all, the loss would be immense.

But as a monarch, his word was law, so he could only bite the bullet and agree: "Fine, this Monster King... agrees to your request!"

Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk toward the Palace Treasury.

Seeing this, Nudi hurriedly followed.

She calculated that by sticking with Zhang Yi, she might be able to get a full meal.

Mother Jubiao and the Pterosaur also followed along happily; they were also full of curiosity about the treasures in the treasury.

By now, Mother Jubiao had become very open-minded about Zhang Yi's behavior.

No matter what he did, Mother Jubiao could accept it.

After all, her son simply had infinite potential.

Even if she heard that Zhang Yi had finished off the Monster King, she would believe it.

"Great, this Monster King's treasury must have plenty of good things; this time, we'll really be able to feast our eyes!"

The Quetzalcoatlus could not help but say excitedly.

Nudi rolled her eyes, "Don't get happy too soon; perhaps they won't let us in."

The Quetzalcoatlus said disdainfully, "On what grounds! My brother helped them wipe out Heifeng; what a great merit that is. Would he dare not let us in?"

However, upon arriving at the entrance of the treasury, they were stopped by the guards.

"His Majesty has ordered that only Lord Wangri Bird is permitted to enter."

The guard said with an expressionless face.

The Quetzalcoatlus immediately deflated.

He looked at Nudi, "Jinx!"

He had thought he could follow Zhang Yi and have a big meal, but in the end...

Zhang Yi looked back at Nudi and shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

"There's no helping it. Me eating represents you eating too; rest assured, I will eat extra on your behalf."

The corners of Nudi's mouth twitched.

Zhang Yi turned to the guard and said, "Open the door."

The heavy treasury door slowly opened, and a dense wave of spiritual Qi rushed toward them.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He sighed inwardly: This treasury is too awesome! As expected of a Demon King; look at these things of his, and then look at the meager items in the Demon Saint manor—compared to this Demon King's treasury, they are absolutely nothing.

While giving a thumbs-up to this treasury, Zhang Yi did not forget to mock the Demon Saint manor.

Zhang Yi was drooling; he rushed in impatiently and began to feast.

He first grabbed a spiritual mushroom emitting a rich medicinal fragrance and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Hmm, the taste is not bad, just a bit bitter."

Zhang Yi smacked his lips and evaluated it.

Next, he picked up a piece of ore emitting a golden light and began to gnaw on it.

"Crunchy, tastes like chicken." Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction.

Like a swarm of locusts passing through, he swallowed the treasures in the treasury one by one into his belly.

The guards at the door watched in a daze; they had never seen such a... bizarre sight.

Every item in the treasury was worth a fortune, yet in the eyes of this bird, they were like ordinary food.

Nudi, Mother Jubiao, and the Quetzalcoatlus waited anxiously outside the door, their stomachs rumbling non-stop.

"Sigh, I shouldn't have believed his nonsense."

Nudi sighed, her face full of regret.

Just at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the treasury.

"Boom!"

Immediately following, a powerful energy fluctuation radiated from the treasury.

Nudi and Mother Jubiao's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated a few steps.

The treasury door was blasted open by a powerful force, and Zhang Yi flew out from within, his entire body radiating a golden light.

The feathers on his body had become more vibrant, and his physique was also much larger than before.

"Hiccup~"

Zhang Yi let out a satisfied burp, a look of contentment on his face.

He lowered his head to look at his claws and discovered they had actually turned a golden color.

"Eh? What is going on?"

Zhang Yi looked puzzled.
