Chapter 40 - Gluttony

Spirit Temple Inn.

Inside Wang Yufan's VIP room, a waiter brought out a table full of food and wine.

"Please enjoy your meal, honored guests. Just call for me if you need anything."

The waiter closed the door after speaking.

At this moment, Xu Changqing and Little Black's eyes hadn't moved from the table since the first dish was served.

Xu Changqing's drool was directly stringing down from the corner of his mouth, and Little Black next to him was even more exaggerated, with drool flowing out like a small stream from the corner of its mouth.

Wang Yufan looked at this scene helplessly; it seemed both of them were starving.

"Alright, then let's prepare."

Xu Changqing and Little Black heard Wang Yufan about to speak and quickly stopped drooling, waiting.

Wang Yufan stopped halfway through his sentence, and then Xu Changqing and Little Black saw two large hands directly turn into afterimages on the table. In less than three breaths, the originally lavish feast was reduced to less than a third.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing and Little Black completely collapsed, wailing internally.

My spirit chicken roast, my demonic wolf ribs, my meat, it's all gone, all gone.

Is this my Master? No, this is simply a gluttony behavior. This what all Xu Changing could think of at the moment.

Little Black next to him also let out "woof woof woof" sounds, protesting its owner's actions.

However, seeing several oversized bones at the foot of the table, Little Black quieted down.

It seemed its owner still cared for it.

When Little Black ran to the foot of the table and picked up a bone, it realized it was wrong.

All the marrow inside the bone had been hollowed out. It couldn't figure out how its owner had done it. Little Black later found a few bones only the size of chopsticks and began gnawing on them.

Looking at the table, all the meat dishes were empty, with only a few vegetable dishes remaining. Xu Changqing cried out internally as he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Wang Yufan patted his belly, thinking he still cared for his disciple. His disciple needed to train well now and maintain a good physique, so he could only suffer and eat a little more himself. As for Little Black, Wang Yufan also left a few ribs for it.

Wang Yufan picked up a pot of fine wine and began to savor it.

After Xu Changqing finished eating, he returned to his room with a resentful expression.

Around midnight.

Xu Changqing, who hadn't fallen asleep yet, heard footsteps coming from outside his door, and then a figure was projected onto the door by the moonlight.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knocking sound rang out.

Xu Changqing immediately thought of something bad. Could it be a ghost?

Someone was knocking at the door in the middle of the night.

"Wh-who are you?"

Xu Changqing continued to ask.

The figure outside the door didn't answer, still knocking the door.

Xu Changqing felt that with his Nascent Soul Realm fifth-layer strength, even half of the demons and ghosts shouldn't be a problem, but he had never encountered such things before, so he was still a little scared.

So he secretly hid behind a nearby pillar.

As soon as Xu Changqing hid, the room door was violently pushed open by a great force.

Then Xu Changqing saw a slender figure gradually lengthen with the moonlight.

The person outside the door slowly stepped into the room, and then Xu Changqing saw that the person seemed to be wearing a mask. Because he was in a corner, he couldn't see clearly. But from the fluctuations emanating from the person just now, Xu Changqing judged that the masked person was stronger than himself.

The figure walked towards the bed and slowly pulled back the bed curtains.

Just then, Xu Changqing accidentally bumped into a flowerpot nearby, making a sound.

The masked person suddenly turned their head and looked towards the source of the sound, while Xu Changqing held his breath and hid behind the pillar.

One breath.

Two breaths.

...

Xu Changqing found there was no movement and quietly poked his head out, looking towards the bed.

Finding no one, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just as he turned his head, a ghost-faced mask was directly pressed against his face.

Xu Changqing inwardly cried out that something was wrong, but it was too late. A faint fragrance came from the ghost-faced mask, and Xu Changqing directly collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the unconscious person in front of her, the woman under the ghost-faced mask made a sound.

"Hehehe, this little brother looks pretty good, but he's too silly. It's a pity for a Nascent Soul fifth-layer, with no sense of danger at all.

Let me see if you still have any high-grade spirit stones on you."

After speaking, the woman wearing the ghost-faced mask rummaged through Xu Changqing's body.

"Hmph, only a hundred low-grade spirit stones. It's infuriating, and I had to do it myself.

Oh, right, isn't there another ordinary person in the other room? Maybe he has some."

Thinking of this, the woman wearing the ghost-faced mask flickered and arrived at Wang Yufan's door.

At this moment in the room, Little Black was lazily lying on the ground.

Little Black didn't pay attention to the approaching figure. Little Black had already sensed that this was a human woman, and her cultivation had reached the Dao Integration Realm, with good talent.

What's more, since its owner hadn't spoken, it also pretended to be asleep, and Wang Yufan, lying on the bed, smiled slightly and continued to close his eyes.

Knock, knock, knock.

The knocking sound came, and the woman with the ghost-faced mask also let out laughter, the sound miserable.

Hehehe

Hearing no response from inside the room, the woman wearing the ghost-faced mask directly blasted the door open. Using the moonlight, her figure went straight towards Wang Yufan on the bed.

Just then, a snore sounded, and the woman with the ghost-faced mask was startled and immediately hid.

The woman with the ghost-faced mask followed the source of the sound and realized that there was also a black dog in this room.

Sleeping so soundly, you deserve your bad luck.

The woman with the ghost-faced mask thought to herself.

She then walked towards Wang Yufan on the bed again, just as she reached the bedside. Three golden glittering stones were pressed under Wang Yufan's body.

The woman with the ghost-faced mask's eyes burst with golden light.

"Three high-grade spirit stones."

She was so excited that she almost blurted it out. Then the woman with the ghost-faced mask extended a hand, intending to lift Wang Yufan from the bed, but unexpectedly, she used all her strength, even her Dao Integration Realm cultivation, but the person on the bed remained motionless.

A bad premonition instantly arose in her heart.
