Chapter 1704

Xu Jie said with a sorrowful expression, it really is that.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhengping and the other fellow disciples wore strange looks, eyes full of contempt toward Xu Jie.

How can this guy have the nerve to say such things, and still be ashamed to say they?

Earlier, the fellow disciples saw the Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride gathering uncontrollably, drool flowing to the ground.

The look in their eyes was extremely fiery, making the fellow disciples feel creepy.

For such a look, the fellow disciples are naturally not unfamiliar, having seen it many times before.

To keep their jobs, they just made up nonsense, anyway these guys have never left the Exile Lands, what do they know about food?

But I thought what they said was already outrageous, but I didn't expect that when Xú Lǎosān opened his mouth, it was truly without limits.

And they brought all of them along, you'll get the fatal disease, your whole family will get the fatal disease.

But given the situation, the fellow disciples couldn't well refute, they could only endure.

Xu Jie didn't care at all about the crowd's gaze; facing their gaze, Xu Jie said with a sorrowful expression.

"So this thing is our lifesaver."

And the Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride, upon hearing this, each showed guilt.

Someone couldn't help but speak up.

"Sorry, we were impulsive earlier, attracted by that aroma, not intentionally trying to steal your lifesaver."

These Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride are really simple; Xu Jie's words left them with no suspicion at all.

They only felt guilty; just now, because of that aroma, they actually wanted to snatch the other side's lifesaver.

Especially A Niu and the others, even more so.

In response, Xu Jie shook his head, magnanimously saying it's fine, ignorance is no crime.

Watching Xu Jie with a few words fool those Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride into a dazed state, Zhao Zhengping et al.'s mouths twitched, but they all chose silence.

Under Xu Jie's fooling, the Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride all retreated back to their original positions.

Although that aroma remains extremely tempting, they now have no thoughts.

After all, this is the lifesaver of the Dao Yi Shengdi people; without eating it for a day they'd die.

But when Ye Zhangqing had finished cooking, seeing Xu Jie et al. eating with oil dripping from their mouths, the Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride still couldn't help but keep swallowing saliva.

Looking, they really wanted to take a bite.

Xu Jie et al. each held a big bowl, eating big mouthfuls; after finishing one bowl, they went for another.

Mainly because when Ye Zhangqing cooked earlier, he deliberately included those Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride in the count.

Anyway, the numbers were already small, and compared to when they were at the Dao Yi Shengdi, it's practically small-time vs big-time.

It's all just one pot, not a hassle.

But when the food was ready, Ye Zhangqing was about to call the Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride to eat, when Xu Jie pulled him back.

"Junior brother, this rich water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields, and besides, I've already said those words."

Seeing Xu Jie's crafty look, Ye Zhangqing ultimately remained silent.

Poor these Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride, trapped here since childhood; in terms of scheming, they are no match for Xu Jie and company.

Putting it bluntly, tying all those Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride together, they'd probably still not be a match for Xu Jie alone.

"Heh heh, we've entered this Exile Lands, still don't know what we'll encounter; we definitely need to rest and recuperate."

Seeing that each person could get two bowls of rice, Xu Jie et al. were thrilled.

Previously at the Sacred Ground, even if you grabbed a spot, each person only got one bowl of rice, there was never any extra.

Being able to eat an extra bowl, the fellow disciples naturally wouldn't complain; fatal disease is fatal disease, this reason now seems pretty good.

Thus, the Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride stood not far away, each preferring to let drool flow to the ground rather than step forward.

They are really simple, making one unable to resist praising them.

After a meal, Xu Jie et al. felt refreshed, but the Exile Lands' Heavenly Pride were tormented.

Fortunately, it's finally over.

Naturally, Xu Jie and company will tidy up; the fellow brothers are in sync, needing no word from Ye Zhangqing, they themselves put away the bowls and chopsticks.

After eating, everyone, under A Niu's arrangement, returned to the tree hollow to rest.

This mayfly floating island still has many empty tree hollows, more than enough to accommodate Ye Zhangqing et al.

The environment is a bit crude, after all the Exile Lands have nothing; but Ye Zhangqing et al. don't mind, everyone can accept this harsh environment.

A Cheng and the other are still drunk; the Immortal Realm matter will have to wait until they sober up.

For now, let's rest a bit; it's not too urgent.

Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou four people live in one tree hollow.

Actually, the four voluntarily requested to live with Ye Zhangqing; Ye Zhangqing had no objection, but Xu Jie muttered discontentedly.

"Men and women should not be intimate; why do you insist on crowding together?"

"It's as if you've never shared a room before."

Liu Shuang said coldly.

"Right, I used to live with Junior Brother Zhangqing too."

Upon hearing that, Lu Youyou interjected from the side.

The four's reason for wanting to live with Ye Zhangqing also includes the plan to have private meals.

Such as afternoon tea, midnight snacks, etc.

Everyone comes from Divine Sword Peak; living together poses no adaptation issues.

Ye Zhangqing took out a recliner from his Space Ring, leaned back, and closed his eyes to nap.

Xu Jie et al. also sat cross-legged cultivating; they are not like Ye Zhangqing, who could just lie around and reach the Cultivation: Great Emperor Realm.

Every bit of cultivation they gain requires them to risk their lives.

While they were cultivating, no one knew how long had passed when suddenly a mighty aura of the Great Emperor Realm came from outside the tree hollow, followed immediately by a roar.

"You bastard, what did you do to me?"

"I should be asking you that—what did you do?"

"I'll kill you, pah!"

Following the violent aftershocks of the battle, judging by the sound and the aura, Ye Zhangqing and the others who had been awakened were not particularly surprised.

It should be A Cheng and the two waking up; after sleeping this long, it's about time.

Just waking up and already full of energy, Ye Zhangqing looked directly at Xu Jie and smiled.

"Third Shī xiōng, it's your turn to make a move, go."

The recording stone was in Xu Jie's hand, so the task of breaking up the fight naturally fell to him; since he was the one who put them on the same bed, now that they've sobered up, he naturally has to wipe his own ass.
