Chapter 185

They could even be happy while sending someone to their death; the Jade Maiden Peak's Elders and Stewards had never seen such a thing before.

Amidst a strange laughter, the starship hurried toward Jinhai Yingdi.

Half a day later, the starship landed steadily outside the Formation; as previously planned, Bai Hua Xianzi and the Elders of Divine Sword Peak entered, holding their tokens.

Meanwhile, the Jade Maiden Peak's Elders and Stewards, as well as the Divine Sword Peak's Steward, waited outside, while the disciples likewise entered the Formation.

"Bai Hua Peak Master."

Two Outer Door Disciples of Divine Sword Peak tasked with guarding the entrance came forward and respectfully called out; hearing this, Bai Hua Xianzi nodded slightly and immediately led the people rushing into the Formation.

She worried about the situation inside the camp, with only Shī xiōng Hong Zun guarding this peak alone; the pressure must be considerable.

With such worry, Bai Hua Xianzi first led people to the camp, learned that all of Divine Sword Peak's people had gone to the edge of the Formation, and then hurriedly led them to the edge of the Formation.

Everyone had already gone to the front line; it seems the pressure is indeed not small.

But now that Jade Maiden Peak has arrived, they should be able to help share some of Shī xiōng Hong Zun's Divine Sword Peak's burden.

However, this worry didn't last long; when Bai Hua Xianzi led the people rushing over, she was completely stunned.

Seeing that everyone from Divine Sword Peak was actually having a barbecue?

They were eating with great enjoyment, showing no sign of any pressure.

"Delicious, this grilled Spirit Shrimp King tastes so delicious."

"Don't fight over it; today Junior Brother Ye Zhangqing made plenty, everyone gets a share."

"First put down the flood dragon meat in your hand before speaking."

"Yeah, you're still holding a crab claw in your left hand, and you say don't fight? You're the one fighting the most."

Standing there dazed, the reality and Bai Hua Xianzi's imagination were worlds apart.

All along, Bai Hua Xianzi thought the atmosphere at Jinhai Yingdi should be oppressive and suffocating.

But what's going on now? Why are the Divine Sword Peak people having a barbecue? And it smells so good.

In contrast, the water demon kings outside the Formation were glaring at everyone with fury blazing to the heavens.

Something's off; the situation at Jinhai Yingdi is completely different from what she imagined.

"What's the situation now?"

Even some of the simple-minded ones asked Zhao Rou and the other disciples beside them, but at this moment the Jade Maiden Peak's disciples clearly had no mood to answer.

Their eyes immediately locked onto the barbecue over the charcoal fire, with all kinds of seafood available in abundance.

Indeed, indeed, Divine Sword Peak is living carefree at Jinhai Yingdi; having left the Sect, for them it's practically an untamed horse.

So coming to Jinhai Yingdi was indeed the right choice.

"Shīzūn, now isn't the time to talk about this; we should go up and have a bite."

Zhong Ling spoke at this moment; hearing this, Bai Hua Xianzi frowned slightly.

"Nonsense, what time is it now, still thinking about eating."

"Oh no, if we don't eat now it'll be gone."

Seeing that Shīzūn completely didn't understand her meaning, Zhong Ling stomped her foot in anxiety.

As for the Divine Sword Peak Elders, they had already rushed up at this moment, having thought about food for months; they could finally eat.

"Haha, you little brats, your Elders have arrived."

The Divine Sword Peak Elders pounced forward like wolves and tigers; seeing this, the Divine Sword Peak disciples were stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"Holy crap, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples have come, hurry up and eat."

"Brothers, hurry up and eat, that bunch of women have arrived."

Some disciples shouted loudly, but the smart ones had already started frantically stuffing food into their mouths.

Earlier, because Ye Zhangqing had made plenty, everyone had a share and didn't need to fight for spots, so everyone ate rather leisurely.

But now, in just a moment's time, the scene instantly descended into chaos.

Watching the disciples gobbling down their food like wolves, the Elders became anxious, instantly pushing their movement techniques to the limit, their faces fierce.

"Leave some for me."

"Stop eating, damn it, leave some for me."

"We haven't eaten for months; do you still have any conscience."

However, the disciples completely ignored the Elders' angry shouts, instead moving even faster, which completely infuriated the Elders.

Going up was just a scramble.

"This crab claw is mine, hand it over."

"Holy crap, turns out you've been eating such delicious food these past months, waaaah..."

"Delicious, delicious."

"A bunch of little brats have no conscience."

"This is the taste of the water folk."

Seeing the Elders also eating the seafood barbecue, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples could no longer hold back; Zhao Rou, Zhong Ling and the other girls glanced at Bai Hua Xianzi, swallowed, and said:

"Shīzūn, if you're not eating, then we'll go have a bite."

"Huh????"

A group of people who avoid grains—what are they eating? Bai Hua Xianzi was full of question marks.

Before she could reply, under the leadership of Zhao Rou and Zhong Ling, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples had already rushed forward.

What did they come all the way to Jinhai Yingdi for? Of course to eat.

Jade Maiden Peak also joined the fray; on site, only Bai Hua Xianzi remained standing there dazed, completely unable to understand what was happening before her.

Within the Sect, the Sect Master's concern for Jinhai Yingdi was extreme; even along the way she had been thus.

But when they actually arrived at the camp, this totally wasn't the case at all.

"Ping ge, I'm here."

Zhao Rou immediately sought out Zhao Zhengping; after all, they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and on the grill in front of Zhao Zhengping lay a large shrimp.

In Zhao Rou's view, given Ping ge's feelings for her, he would surely give that large shrimp to her.

Isn't this just showing the benefit of having a dao companion? No need to fight for it yourself like Zhong Ling and her friends; having a man is just good.

Thinking this, Zhao Rou unconsciously revealed a sweet smile on her face.

Unfortunately, the smile didn't last long, because upon hearing the sound, Zhao Zhengping turned his head and glanced at her, his expression somewhat strange and also conflicted.

But in just a moment, as if making some decision, he grabbed the large shrimp on the grill and began to devour it eagerly.

The smile on her face froze as she watched Zhao Zhengping devour the shrimp in disbelief; at that moment, Zhao Rou felt that their relationship had turned sour.

Before, Ping ge would always save any good thing for her.

In an instant, things went from clear to overcast, and her bright smile turned icy cold.

With a stern face, she quickly approached Zhao Zhengping, who just then finished the last bite.

"Zhao Zhengping, what do you mean?"

The usually gentle Zhao Rou now unleashed a Hedong lion's roar, a frigid killing intent shooting straight at Zhao Zhengping.

It's obvious that if Zhao Zhengping can't give her a satisfactory explanation, they'll likely end up sparring as dao companions.

Seeing Zhao Rou's face full of anger, Zhao Zhengping swallowed the food in his mouth and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Rou mei, you're here—I didn't see you just now."

"Heh, you damn thing, lying without even using your brain? Just now you damn well clearly turned your head."

Hearing this, Zhao Rou's mouth twitched and her face grew even more icy cold.

"I'll give you one more chance to rephrase your words."
