Chapter 80: I Didn

In her ears, the words Xu Que had said echoed, along with that handsome yet innocent face. The Empress suddenly turned and asked the Second Elder, who was in charge of the Fragrant Sky Valley's rare treasures and supplies: "Second Senior Aunt, do you have any star grass?"

"Yes! The valley's harvest this year was quite good, a total of 158 star grasses were harvested. Hongyan, have you broken through your cultivation and urgently need star grass to refine pills to consolidate your cultivation? It doesn't matter, take them all! You are the most outstanding disciple in our valley……"

With that, the Second Elder directly grabbed a large handful of 158 star grasses from her storage space and handed them to the Empress.

However, after the Empress took these star grasses, she didn't put them away immediately. Instead, she ignited a flame in one hand and moved it directly toward the star grasses.

"Heavens! Hongyan, what are you doing?"

"Stop! Hongyan, this is star grass!"

"Hongyan, what's wrong with you?"

……

The expressions of several Elders changed drastically, and they hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

However, it was too late. The Empress ignited all 158 star grasses in one go and waved them into the air. The stars burst open, looking like fireworks on Earth, crackling and brilliant.

Beautiful!

It was truly too beautiful, especially in the night sky like this.

The tower had already been opened from the eighth floor, so the disciples and trial cultivators watching from below all saw these star grass fireworks bursting from the top of the eighth floor, and they couldn't help but scream with excitement.

"Look! It's Young Hero Hua, he really reached the eighth floor, and he's still burning star grass on the eighth floor……"

"Too amazing! Young Hero Hua is truly a role model for us cultivators! He said he would go up, and he went up, so heroic!"

"Holy crap! Everyone, run! I remember when Young Hero Hua went up, he said he would go directly to the top of the tower and pee down……"

"Run quickly! Young Hero Hua's urine is extraordinary, it might be powerful enough to hurt people……"

……

Whoosh!

The cultivators below scattered immediately, fearing that Xu Que would really pee from above.

And on the eighth floor, the four Infant Transformation Stage Elders stared at the Empress before them, all dumbfounded.

Was the Empress still that Red-Yan Supreme who controlled the entire Water Origin Kingdom? Why did she look so strange?

But why, when she looked at the starry sky, did the smile on her face make people feel so warm and even more moving and beautiful?

"First Senior Sister, Hongyan… what exactly is going on? Why is she burning star grass too, and burning it so happily?" An Elder asked curiously.

"This is star grass! Over a hundred of them……" The Second Elder, who was in charge of supplies, felt even more heartbroken.

……

Crackle!

The star grasses were burned out, but they left permanent marks on the tower body.

Looking closely, these marks were words.

"Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero."

The Empress used star grass to write this sentence, which she also felt was incredibly stirring. In her mind, however, Xu Que's figure still appeared.

"Second Senior Aunt……"

After burning these star grasses, the Empress turned and looked at the Second Elder, who was in charge of supplies, with a smile.

"Huh? Hongyan ah! The star grasses were all given to you, they are really gone. The remaining ones are all in the warehouse and have great uses, they… they can't be burned for fun anymore……"

The Second Elder felt heartbroken when she heard this.

"It's not star grass, I… I want to ask, does the valley have any chickens? Can you get me some chicken wings?"

Recalling the aroma of Xu Que roasting chicken wings on the eighth floor, the Empress couldn't help but want to try it herself. Moreover, she had just collected the roasting tools and stinky tofu utensils Xu Que had left behind.

"This… we do raise Cloud Valley Chickens in the valley, but Hongyan, when eating chicken, people eat the legs and other meaty parts. Parts like chicken feet, chicken wings, and chicken heads are all discarded. You… what do you want chicken wings for? Chicken wings can't be eaten!"

The Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief as long as it wasn't burning star grass. However, how could chicken wings be something people eat? Let alone something for the Water Emperor, the ruler of a country.

However, what happened next made the Elders of the Fragrant Sky Valley drop their jaws. The Empress had people kill the Cloud Valley Chickens, specifically taking only the wings, and finally, following Xu Que's example, roasted them over a fire, adding some honey and seasonings. Instantly, an incredibly alluring aroma permeated the entire Fragrant Sky Valley……

Originally, everyone in the valley, from Elders to disciples, refused to eat roasted chicken wings. Although it smelled very fragrant, everyone knew that chicken wings had no meat, so how could they be eaten?

But later, under the Empress's enthusiastic invitation, the first disciple ate a wing, the second disciple ate one……

The first Elder ate a wing, the second Elder ate a wing……

Instantly, it became unstoppable. The disciples and Elders of the entire Fragrant Sky Valley slaughtered all the Cloud Valley Chickens in the valley, just to gnaw on those incredibly delicious but meatless chicken wings.

However, while the disciples were immersed in the carnival of eating chicken wings, the Empress was lost in thought while looking at the iron pot Xu Que had used to make stinky tofu—the stinky tofu that smelled incredibly foul but tasted more and more fragrant the more you ate it.

……

And at this time, Xu Que, who had finally spent a teleportation talisman and deeply implemented the important ideology of "run after acting cool," was teleported to a deep mountain over a hundred miles away with a whoosh.

"Hehe! Run after acting cool, who in the world has my skill? It's just a pity, if I had waited for those four Infant Transformation old monsters to come and acted cool some more, I estimate I could have gained even more Acting Cool Points. But… it's better to be careful, it would be stupid if I failed to act cool and got screwed instead……"

Not long after landing, Xu Que heard a series of successful acting cool prompts in his ears.

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 60 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 80 Acting Cool Points!"

……

Xu Que was used to one or two successful acting cool prompts and would be slightly proud.

But he had been walking in this deep mountain for almost half a day, and prompts of successful acting cool kept coming one after another, which made Xu Que completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! Who can tell me what happened? I… I didn't do anything! Could it be that my aura has reached the point where every move is full of the aura of acting cool? But there are no demon beasts here, only some flowers, grass, and trees? It seems… my aura might have reached a terrifying level!"
