Xuan Die shook his head repeatedly, displeased, saying: "Xiao Feng, I let you stay here to cultivate because I saw your talent and likable personality.

Translation: Hearing this, Xuan Die shook her head repeatedly, displeased: "Xiao Feng, I let you stay here to cultivate because I saw your talent was good and your personality likable.

"Uh, no... senior, I didn't boast."

Translation: "Uh, no... Senior, I didn't boast."

Translation: Xiao Feng noticed her tone was unhappy, as if she were angry, and hurriedly explained: "This is true—look at my aura; doesn't it carry a hint of the gluttonous beast? This is the result of consuming the gluttonous beast's blood and cultivating the gluttonous beast demon body."

Xuan Die frowned again.

Translation: Xuan Die furrowed her brows again.

She indeed sensed Xiao Feng's aura was different from when he left, and she noticed it even before entering the door.

But this kind of change seems normal to her, because Xiao Feng is an adventurer; strength increasing and changing is naturally fast.

How could this be related to killing a Venerable…?

"I don't believe it unless you produce the Gluttonous Beast God's relic." She shook her head, unable to believe such words.

Xiao Feng immediately summoned the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda; a golden little pagoda landed in his palm.

"Senior, look, this is one of the Gluttonous's treasures; his soul escaped, taking many precious treasures, and the most valuable I obtained is this."

"Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda!"

Xuan Die saw the little pagoda's silhouette and immediately recognized its origin.

Tower Brother chuckled: "Little Butterfly, long time no see, did you miss me?"

Xuan Die: ……

Xiao Feng blinked, asking: "Do you know each other?"

The Supreme Treasure's words are normally only audible to itself.

But now, in front of Xuan Die, the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda spoke directly, and she could actually hear it—clearly, after reaching the Venerable Realm, everything is different.

Xuan Die's stunning face flickered with disbelief as she stared back and forth at Xiao Feng and the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda several times.

After a moment, she said: "You… you really killed the Gluttonous?"

"It's true; I witnessed the whole process. He used the Black Tortoise Battle Body, the Dao-Slaying Sword granted by the Xi Ancestor to the Heartless Dao Venerable, plus various chaotic Supreme Treasures and talents, and with one strike he slew the wounded old Glutton." The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda bore witness for Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng's heart echoed a faint voice: "I am not a chaotic Supreme Treasure; I am called the Spirit-Sacrificing Sword!"

"This, this…"

Xuan Die opened her mouth, her breathtaking visage filled with shock, unable to calm for a long time.

After a while, she shook her head repeatedly, saying: "You are truly a little calamity… I cannot keep you as a guest; you must leave quickly, otherwise the Savage Beast Clan will come knocking, and these children of mine will surely suffer!"
