Chapter 3: Do You Want to Eat Me?

Whoosh!

A gust of wind rose up.

Bang!

Then came a dull thud.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Younger Sister Nudi let out a series of urgent sounds, clutching her head in pain as she collapsed, and the worm in her mouth fell out.

Zhang Yi's kick landed on Nudi with all his might, causing her immense pain.

She even felt as if she had been shattered by that kick, with the pain emerging from the gaps between her bones.

"A-da! I'll peck, peck, peck!"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

With continuous attacks, Zhang Yi launched a frenzied assault.

Nudi was taken aback; Zhang Yi's movements were extremely fast, and as she was now, she simply couldn't dodge!

Zhang Yi's beak pecked at her head again and again, showing no mercy.

It felt as if holes were being poked into her head, both painful and itchy.

She had no choice but to spit out the worm in her mouth and hide to the side, clutching her head.

Zhang Yi gathered the two worms together and looked at Nudi with great satisfaction.

Some Nudi—to dare to snatch things from him with only this much ability.

"Damn it? This ugly thing really dares to strike at this Empress!"

Nudi recovered her senses and looked at Zhang Yi with cold eyes.

"How dare you! This Empress will certainly not spare you!"

"Give me your life!"

Before the words had even faded, Nudi charged up fiercely.

She flapped her wings, rushing over with the intention of killing Zhang Yi in one blow.

Nudi's offensive was fierce, and it looked like she was going for the kill.

However, Zhang Yi stood where he was, his expression indifferent, as if he hadn't taken his opponent seriously at all.

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out.

She took a heavy wing-strike to her face.

Nudi collapsed on the spot, only then realizing that she seemed to have encountered a powerhouse.

A strange sense of frustration was inexplicably spreading in her heart.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before; back in the Immortal Dynasty, she was above ten thousand people, so who in the world could make her feel this way?

Yet even so, Nudi's gaze never left the two worms in front of Zhang Yi.

She needed to replenish her strength; these two worms not only arrived at the right time but were clearly spirit beasts of excellent quality, and eating them would be of great benefit to her cultivation.

But she had clearly underestimated the Zhang Yi before her.

With his ability, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to eat those worms now.

Just now, in only two rounds, the spiritual energy in Nudi's body had long since been exhausted.

Zhang Yi grinned, his gaze shifting.

"Some Nudi—if you're a dragon, you lie down for me; if you're a tiger, you crouch for me!"

"If I'm in a bad mood, everyone gets a beating!"

However, Zhang Yi did not intend to keep both worms for himself.

He didn't want to starve Nudi to death too early; judging by the current situation, he still couldn't leave this place.

For one, it was too lonely if he were the only one here, and besides, he was mainly here to complete a mission, not necessarily to kill everyone off.

Secondly, Zhang Yi just wanted to give her a show of power.

As the saying goes, nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards; as the big brother, he first had to establish his authority for Younger Sister!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi revealed his beak and suddenly raised it high.

Nudi was startled and instinctively retreated.

Her eyes were full of fear; could it be that after easily dealing with her, he still had the spiritual energy to beat her again?

But to her surprise, Zhang Yi pecked down and pushed one of the worms toward her.

He had actually taken the initiative to share one of the worms with Nudi.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp."

Nudi stared at the worm lying on the ground in front of her in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time.

She had never expected that Zhang Yi would actually return the food.

Coming to her senses, Nudi swallowed the worm in one gulp.

"This ugly thing really has some tricks up his sleeve; it seems I am not his match for now. Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."

Nudi thought to herself while eating, feeling a sense of coolness the moment the worm entered her mouth.

Then, it felt as if a stream of spiritual energy was slowly rippling through her body, like bathing in a spring breeze.

That warm current followed the extraordinary meridians in her body, merged into her blood, and was sent to every part of her body.

"Heh, impulsive? You really guessed right; if you're impulsive now, you'll surely die!"

Zhang Yi muttered, lowered his head, and swallowed his worm in one gulp.

The texture was sticky, and it didn't have any special taste.

But after all, he had previously been a human, so he truly found it somewhat unbearable.

After swallowing the bug, Zhang Yi finally felt much more comfortable in his stomach.

Although there were no delicacies to speak of, who told him he was a bird now; the things a bird could do were very limited.

After this one bug was swallowed, Zhang Yi felt a wave of comfort throughout his body.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, you have obtained 2 Refining Points, Random Spirit Seed +1】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new divine skill: Spirit-Eating Transformation】

【Swallow one spirit bug to obtain Divine Soul +11, Physique +33】

Damn, that's it?

Zhang Yi looked at the skyrocketing numbers on the panel, his heart filled with shock.

This is too easy, isn't it? In just this short amount of time, this leveling speed is simply breathtaking.

【Spirit Qi +9999】

【Spirit Qi +1356】

【Congratulations to the host for becoming a Tier 3 Demon Beast, Refining Point +1】

Good grief, cultivation breakthroughs really are as simple as eating and drinking, aren't they!

If this trend continues, if he finds a few more bugs to eat, wouldn't he be invincible under the heavens!

However, since that is the case, he should even more actively and urgently look for food!

After all, if he keeps eating bugs, that is not a good long-term solution.

Only now did he understand what it meant to think of the difficulty of obtaining every bowl of porridge and every meal.

After eating, Zhang Yi finally felt he had a bit of strength in his body.

He glanced at Nudi, then turned and returned to the nest.

Looking at the empty bird's nest, Zhang Yi could not help but grumble to himself.

"If someone brought me a bite of something delicious right now, I would truly be willing to call them father."

Zhang Yi shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

The system is not bad, but as it stands now, the environment he was born into is truly too embarrassing.

Just as he was thinking this, a sound suddenly rang out.

"You just wait, this Nudi will take revenge and wipe away this humiliation sooner or later!"

Zhang Yi instinctively looked up; it turned out that Empress Sister had already come in from outside.

One bug per person was clearly not enough.

Let alone Zhang Yi who possessed a system, even for Nudi who needed to cultivate, this little bit of food was far from enough.

However, Zhang Yi saw that Empress Sister's complexion seemed to have improved quite a bit.

Of course, even if she were better, she would still not be his match.

But just as Zhang Yi was thinking this, he felt that the way Empress Sister was looking at him was a bit off.

It was a gaze filled with killing intent; Zhang Yi frowned, and a voice heavy with murderous intent rang in his ears.

"No food, how could there be no food? This Nudi is truly too stupid; isn't this ugly thing right in front of me the best nourishing supplement!"
