Chapter 82: Brother Leopard Bites the Dust

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "That's right, they are all starving. But, we hunted this Shizhentian with great difficulty, why should we share it with them?"

"But..."

Xiao Pu hesitated, "They look so pitiful."

"Those who are pitiful must have something hateful about them."

Nudi interjected, "If they were truly starving to death, they should go hunt Demon Beasts themselves, instead of staring longingly at us eating here."

"You finally said something sensible."

Zhang Yi gave Nudi an approving look; this little girl, although a bit gluttonous, still had a clear head.

"But..." Xiao Pu wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhang Yi.

"Alright, Xiao Pu, don't worry about them, let's just eat our own food."

As Zhang Yi spoke, he tore off another piece of lion leg meat and handed it to Xiao Pu, "Eat more, you're still growing."

Xiao Pu took the meat and obediently began to eat.

Just at this moment, a tall, imposing leopard demon walked over.

It stared at Zhang Yi with burning eyes and said arrogantly, "Kid, share some of your lion meat with me, and I can give you some benefits."

Zhang Yi looked up at the leopard demon, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth, "Benefits? What kind of benefits? Can they compare to the meat of this Third-rank Great Divine Beast?"

The leopard demon's face darkened, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes, "Kid, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Do you know who I am?"

Zhang Yi curled his lip in disdain, "I don't care who you are. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, this meat wouldn't be shared!"

The leopard demon was furious, "You're courting death!"

It let out a roar and suddenly swung a claw, grabbing toward Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi had been prepared, and with a flash of his figure, he dodged the leopard demon's attack.

Zhang Yi sneered and said, "Want to snatch my meat? Then let's see if you have the ability!"

To be honest.

Zhang Yi truly hadn't expected this leopard demon to suddenly attack.

After all, the Demon Saint Mansion had already established new rules.

Anyone who caused trouble at the Arena site would have their competition qualification revoked.

For this leopard demon to be so impulsive and reckless, it either didn't know the new rules, or it was truly starving.

Zhang Yi didn't care what the reason was.

How could he possibly hand over such good meat that was already in his hands?

If your attitude had been a bit better, perhaps I could have shared a fingernail-sized piece with you, just to let you have a taste and satisfy your craving.

But with such an arrogant posture, trying to snatch it right away—want to eat? Not a chance!

Just as Zhang Yi was about to make a move, Mother Giant Bird swatted him to the side with one wing.

"What are you in such a rush for, you brat! Use your brain! Who knows which grandson dug this pit, just waiting for you to make a mistake and get disqualified!"

Zhang Yi rubbed his head, which was aching from the swat.

He muttered, "Mom, I know, I have a sense of proportion."

His eyes darted around, and he set his sights on the gaudy cotton-padded jacket on the leopard demon.

He turned his head and winked at Nudi, "Little sister, see that flashy outfit? If you like it, Brother will snatch it for you!"

Nudi tore off a piece of lion leg meat in a leisurely manner and swallowed it after chewing slowly.

Only then did she lazily glance at the leopard demon, "Such tacky clothes, only a country bumpkin from the village would wear them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the leopard demon's face turned green.

Its whiskers stood up one by one, "You little brat, who are you calling a country bumpkin?!"

It was hopping mad and, waving its claws, was about to pounce over.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Yi caught sight of a figure walking toward them not far away, and he had a plan in mind.

He 'whooshed' and spread his wings, nimbly jumping to the edge of the Arena.

Then, with a serious face, he said to the leopard demon, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down! The new rules of the Demon Saint Mansion forbid causing trouble here. If you don't like the look of me, let's settle it on the Arena! I am ready at any time!"

His words were spoken at a volume that was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the Great Demon walking over to hear clearly.

That Great Demon had a burly figure, and his golden scales were shining brilliantly under the sun.

He was patrolling near the Arena.

He happened to hear these words.

So he walked up quickly, his gaze sweeping over everyone like a sharp sword, finally landing on Zhang Yi, "What is going on?"

Zhang Yi immediately put on a pitiful expression, pointed at the leopard demon and said, "I don't know why this Brother Leopard suddenly attacked, trying to snatch our food and even hurling insults. I was just afraid of breaking the rules of the Demon Saint Mansion, so I wanted to settle the matter peacefully and urged him to solve it on the Arena, but he..."

He deliberately dragged out his voice, looking as if he were holding back words, appearing as if he had suffered a great grievance.

The leopard demon was dumbfounded and pointed at Zhang Yi, stammering, "I... I didn't snatch your meat... and I didn't make a move..."

To be honest.

This leopard demon was indeed starving to the point of desperation just now.

However, he also knew he couldn't make a move here.

There were guards from the Demon Saint Mansion everywhere nearby; if seen, he would be kicked out on the spot.

He just wanted to scare Zhang Yi's family.

To see if he could use intimidation to get a piece of meat to satisfy his craving.

As a result, he didn't expect that not only did he not get a bite of meat, but this guy actually reported him to the people from the Demon Saint Mansion!

After hearing Zhang Yi's 'tearful complaint', the Golden-Scaled Great Demon's thick eyebrows stood upright, and his copper-bell-sized eyes glared at the leopard demon, as if they were about to spit fire.

"You death-defying thing! The Demon Saint Mansion has strictly forbidden causing trouble here, yet you dare to openly provoke! Do you want to have your competition qualification revoked?!"

The leopard demon shivered all over, stammering, "My lord, I... I really wasn't causing trouble, I just... followed the scent over..."

It looked pitifully at the mountain of roasted meat piled up in front of Zhang Yi and his family, its stomach rumbling.

Zhang Yi chuckled inwardly, but his face looked even more aggrieved as he pointed at the leopard demon and said, "My lord, look! It's still making excuses! Just now it even said my mother dresses like a country old woman, and said my Younger Sister dresses tackily! This is clearly looking for trouble on purpose!"

Upon hearing this, Mother Jubiao immediately bristled, "You little beast! How dare you say this old lady dresses like a country old woman! This outfit of mine is woven from Peacock Feather, it's worth a fortune! You ignorant thing!"

Nudi also cooperated by rolling her eyes, casting a look of disdain at the leopard demon, "With that tattered cotton coat of its, it has the nerve to call me tacky? It's truly laughable!"

The leopard demon could not defend itself, its leopard face turning bright red.

It had originally wanted to try its luck to see if it could get something to eat, but ended up being caught in a no-win situation.

If it had known, it shouldn't have been greedy for this fragrance!

Witnessing the leopard demon's fate, the other Demon Beasts nearby who had been itching to move immediately reined in their thoughts.

One by one, they stayed honestly in their own spots, fearing they would bring trouble upon themselves.

After dealing with Baowen Ge, Zhang Yi jumped down from the Arena.

He prepared to continue his feast.

As a result, just as he landed, the scene before his eyes left him completely dumbfounded.

He saw that the large pile of lion meat from just a moment ago was now nothing but a pile of bones...
