Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 245: Chapter 244 This Meal is Poisonous…_1

“Who are you?” Fairy Eternity looked warily at the four, each of their Cultivation Levels higher than hers – all at the Golden Core Stage.

The smile on Lv Chang’s face broadened.

The four of them often traversed the dense forest, seemingly fighting Demon Beasts and collecting heavenly treasures like everyone else. However, their true forms were Demon Beasts, secretly killing and looting to steal Storage Rings, which they exchanged for high profits with the humans benefiting from their ill-gotten gains.

They had initially planned to negotiate their next steps with the lake owner, but instead, they stumbled upon a young girl here.

Her Cultivation Level was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, with an innocent and adorable appearance and disheveled clothes. She was probably some influential family’s young miss who had lost her way while training.

This was a common occurrence given the vast forests. After all, the highest possible Realm could not just be the Golden Core Stage.

According to their knowledge, there was an Elephant Tribe Demon in the vicinity, its Cultivation Level at the Nascent Soul Stage, and its strength was terrifying.

Lv Chang had limited exposure and couldn’t recognize what Fairy Eternity was wearing, but he was certain that the material was definitely of high value.

A young miss from an influential family training outside was sure to have many valuable items. Even if the family came to investigate, they wouldn’t fear – this was a dense forest where life and death were determined by fate. Who could assure that nothing unexpected would happen during training?

At the worst, they could just shift the blame onto the humans themselves – after all, humans often did such deeds anyway.

Moreover, the naive little girl was cooking here; easy prey.

Having pondered all possible scenarios, ensuring there were no risks, Lv Chang finally emerged and warmly concerned himself with Fairy Eternity’s background.

“We are cultivators who came to the lake to collect medicinal herbs and didn’t expect to meet you here. This place is very dangerous, inhabited by Demon Beasts that are at the Golden Core Stage. Even we dare not linger here too long.”

Remembering the Fish King she had casually punched to death just now, Fairy Eternity shook her head and denied, “Dangerous? Not at all.”

“That’s because you’ve yet to encounter any. Where are your elders? This place is very dangerous!”

“He went off to challenge a Golden Core Stage Demon Beast. I found it dull, so I ran out… Ah, no, he’s not my elder!” Fairy Eternity instinctively followed Lv Chang’s words but hastily corrected herself when she realized something was off.

Lu Yang was just a junior to her. She was the senior here.

After exchanging looks, Lv Chang and his comrades were sure this little girl had sneaked away.

“Fish King, are you here?” Lv Chang secretly communicated with the lake owner via his Spiritual Sense, enquiring about the little girl’s situation and whether they should team up to rob and kill her.

“Not here?”

Lv Chang called out several times using his Spiritual Sense but did not receive a response from the Fish King.

Did it transform to walk on land and go to other places in search of prey?

If so, the lake owner was simply out of luck, leaving the unplanned fortune to only the four of them.

“Are you looking for the fish?” Fairy Eternity’s words startled Lv Chang, how could an outsider sense his Spiritual Sense communication with the lake owner?

“Then let’s eat. I’ve just finished cooking.”

The Eternity Truefire turned the branches into ashes and used the remaining heat to warm the Beggar’s Fish.

Fairy Eternity scraped off a large chunk of mud from the ashes, knocked off the outer layer of mud, tore open the middle layer of lotus leaves, and a sweet aroma diffused in the air causing Lv Chang and his comrades to take a deep breath.

Living in the wilderness for such a long time, they had never smelled such delicious food.

Was this the depth of a large clan? Even their wilderness food was different from theirs.

“Eat, this is the fish you were looking for.” Fairy Eternity’s words were seemingly disjointed.

As an Immortal Cook, she was also a chef. What a chef enjoyed the most was having her guests enjoy her food.

Therefore, Fairy Eternity generously shared the Beggar’s Fish she had just cooked with the four of them.

The four of them observed the naive young girl and did not suspect that she could be capable of poisoning the fish. Moreover, the Beggar’s Fish smelled truly delicious.

They decided to enjoy the meal before finishing off the young girl. They would act a bit more mercifully then.

All four of them found a large rock to sit around and enjoy their food together.

Lv Chang took out chopsticks from his Storage Ring and delicately picked up a piece, but the fish was so tender that it fell apart with just a little pressure. Left with no choice, he adjusted his strength and gently picked up another piece.

The fish melted in the mouth, and it felt like water, without any distinctive taste, it slipped down his throat effortlessly.

Fairy Eternity picked up two small branches from the lake to act as chopsticks.

She carefully picked up a piece of fish and ate it, savoring it with great relish.

“Hmm, delicious.”

“That said, why do you Demon Beasts transform into humans?” Fairy Eternity suddenly asked, “Isn’t a Demon Beast in its original form more agile in the dense forest?”

The four of them jumped to their feet, glaring down at Fairy Eternity.

“How do you know we are Demon Beasts?!”

“I figured it out quite some time ago.”

“Then why didn’t you react at all?”

“Why should I have reacted?”

Just as Lv Chang intended to compliment her courage, he felt as if the fish that had slid into his stomach had turned into fire. It was burning inside him, breaking all meridians, leaving him weak and beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Thud——

Lv Chang fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and writhing in pain. The other three collapsed too, looking incredulously at the harmless-looking Fairy Eternity.

The four of them revealed their real forms: Lv Chang was a fox, while the other three transformed into a hedgehog, a snake, and a lynx.

Fairy Eternity noticed that the toxicity of the fish meat was not small and that could even corrode Lu Yang’s Wooden Avatar. If it continued like this, she would have returned to Lu Yang’s side soon.

She stealthily circulated Eternity Dao Fruit, getting rid of the fish’s poison.

“What kind of fish is this?! How did you poison it?!” Lv Chang’s eyes widened as he tried to distract Fairy Eternity while secretly mobilizing his Cultivation Level to resist the poison.

She had seen through their disguise, pretended to be clueless and even invited them for a meal before poisoning them during the meal.

This girl was crafty!

“It’s the Fish King you were looking for. It tried to eat me, but I ate it instead.” Fairy Eternity replied innocently, “Weren’t you looking for it? It was a bad Demon Beast. Don’t look for it any more.”

Fairy Eternity wrinkled her little nose, clearly displeased with Fish King’s unreasonable behavior.

If this had been ancient times, no Demon Beast would dare to treat her like this. Their behavior was a great disrespect and they should have self-disciplined themselves.

“Isn’t Fish King a pufferfish?!” Lv Chang was shocked. The Fish King was the master of this lake, a pufferfish, who was at the peak of Golden Core Stage and was intensely toxic!

More importantly, this young girl was merely at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. How could she possibly defeat Fish King?

“Attack! Kill her! She ate the fish and is fine, she must have the antidote!” Lv Chang and his comrades used their Cultivation Levels to temporarily suppress the pufferfish poison while launching a counterattack.

“And her Storage Ring, let’s snatch it together!”

The four of them, all at Golden Core Stage, surrounded the girl at the Foundation Establishment Stage – Lv Chang did not believe this little girl could win, after all.

“So it turns out that you are all as bad as the big fish!” Fairy Eternity was dissatisfied with the attitudes of the four.

She was just planning to detoxify the four of them but had no idea they wanted to kill her instead.
