As Errou muttered to herself, her face flushed, she moved Junlin's hand away, but she didn't get up; she just adjusted her posture.

Seeing this, Junlin couldn't help but chuckle. He held Errou in his arms and urged the golden lion to speed towards the Central Region.

The two people grilling meat on the other side noticed the commotion, glanced at it with puzzled expressions, and then continued grilling the meat.

Looking at the piece of octopus meat that Luo Jie had burned, Ruan Xinghe couldn't help but mock, "It's burnt. Your cooking skills are terrible."

Luo Jie stared at the octopus meat in his hand in silence for a moment.

Ruan Xinghe was right; it was indeed burnt. The intensity of the flames from this broken formation was very high, and he couldn't control it for a moment.

Hearing Ruan Xinghe's sarcasm, Luo Jie was very unhappy. "Bullshit! It's clearly your formation that's faulty. Either the fire is too big or too small."

Ruan Xinghe scoffed, "If you're bad at cooking, don't blame the road for being uneven. If your skills are bad, why blame the fire?"

"What a joke! You're not as good at cooking as you think. If you're so capable, why don't you try baking it yourself!"

"I'll do it!"

As he spoke, Ruan Xinghe took the portable array in front of him and then picked up a piece of octopus meat to grill.

"..."

Seeing Ruan Xinghe's skillful and practiced movements, Luo Jie fell silent once again.

You're really good at this!

Before long, Junlin, Errou, Luojie, and Ruanxinghe formed a circle on the back of the golden lion.

Before them were pieces of brightly colored and fragrant grilled octopus meat.

Of course, the reason why the meat is so bright in color and has such a fragrant aroma is not because the meat itself is like that, but because Ruan Xinghe carries with him more than a dozen bottles of seasonings of various sizes.

This looks like professional work!

Even Luo Jie had to admit, "I must admit, I am slightly inferior to you when it comes to grilling meat."

Ruan Xinghe's lips twitched. Even at a time like this, she's still trying to make herself look good, isn't she?

If he were only slightly better than Luo Jie in terms of grilling skills, he might as well jump into the Dead Sea and commit suicide.

Luo Jie had no idea what Ruan Xinghe was thinking about him, so he simply picked up a piece of roasted meat and started eating.

Junlin casually picked up a piece of roasted meat and handed it to Errou in his arms.

"Hehe, brother-in-law is so nice." Errou smiled and took a bite of the roasted meat, then offered it to Junlin's mouth, "Brother-in-law, you should eat too."

Luo Jie, Ruan Xinghe: "..."

Looking at the roasted meat in their hands, the two suddenly felt like they had lost their appetite.

After exchanging a glance, they simultaneously picked up their roasted meats, silently turned around, and faced the Dead Sea.

After all, it is a demonic creature comparable to the Supreme Realm, and the energy contained in its flesh and blood is extremely vast and violent!

After just a few bites, Luo Jie felt as if he was about to be blown apart by the sudden surge of violent energy. He quickly stopped and began to refine the energy within his body.

Ruan Xinghe's cultivation level was relatively high, so he ate a whole piece of roasted meat before he began to refine it.

Junlin, who was sharing food with Errou, was not as miserable as Luo Jie and Ruan Xinghe.

Perhaps because of Errou's presence, the energy from the roasted meat was not so violent within Junlin's body; instead, it was much gentler.

Even if you're eating barbecue while refining, you won't feel any pressure.

...

Several days have passed.

The golden lion gradually crossed the Dead Sea and arrived at the border of the Central Region.

However, upon first seeing the Central Region, it was not as prosperous as he had imagined; instead, it appeared somewhat dilapidated.

It was at this moment.

A middle-aged man with a cold and stern face suddenly appeared in front of the golden lions of King's Landing and stopped them.

After glancing at the group of King of the Lands on the back of the golden lion, he said in an icy tone, "Show me your identification."

Junlin sized up the middle-aged man in front of him.

This person's tone is a bit off, and why does he have such a cold face? Is he just naturally averse to smiling?

Considering the devastation on the border of the Central Region, Jun Lin had a guess in mind, so he pointed to the ruins below and asked, "Why does this look like a mess? Was it attacked?"

As expected, the middle-aged man's face grew even colder upon hearing this. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Quickly prove your identities."

Ruan Xinghe stepped forward and took out the Myriad Compass, which symbolized his identity.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man's expression softened considerably. "So you're from the Ruan family. There have been some incidents at the border recently, so you should head back as soon as possible."

Ruan Xinghe nodded without saying anything more.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man did not linger. He flashed and disappeared from their sight.

After entering the Central Region without any incident.

Jun Lin immediately asked the system in his mind, "What was the cultivation level of the person who just stopped me? Which family did they belong to?"

[Supreme Realm, from the Yan family, responsible for guarding the eastern border of the Central Region. There were three Supreme Realm experts in the family, one of whom was killed by the Calamity.]

The system responded quickly.

"Oh? Okay!"

Junlin looked at the ruins behind him. He had only guessed at first, but now it seemed that it was indeed the result of E'nan and his group.

The Yan family was quite lucky; they weren't wiped out by the calamity.

However, as for the Supreme Realm... it's a bit too much for us to handle right now.

Once I reach the Supreme Realm, I'll help E'nan wipe out the Yan family.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now," Ruan Xinghe suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Junlin raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Are you going to the Ruan family?"

"Yes, I'd like to go take a look."

Ruan Xinghe nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, his mother should be a member of the Ruan family in the Central Region. He wanted to go back and find out more.

"OK."

King Lin did not try to keep him; he was not the kind of person who would discard someone after they had served their purpose.

This kid has grilled a lot of meat for them recently and also taught them a lot about formations.

Moreover, this kid is a pseudo-chosen one; returning to the Ruan family will definitely not result in a happy ending for everyone.

Maybe I can even join in the fun then.

With Junlin's consent, Ruan Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he had escaped unscathed.

After Ruan Xinghe left, Luo Jie wanted to ask Jun Lin where he planned to go next.

But looking at Junlin and Errou clinging to his side...

Luo Jie fell silent.

Isn't he a bit redundant?

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Ahem, Brother Jun, I won't disturb your time alone with Senior Errou. I'm going to check on that kid Ruan Xinghe."

Having said that, without waiting for Jun Lin's reply, he turned around and followed Ruan Xinghe.

Watching Luo Jie's departing figure, Jun Lin's lips twitched. "Good heavens, are these two going to team up?"

One is a righteous cultivator, the other is a demonic cultivator.

They are all pseudo-chosen ones.

Tsk... it would be so interesting if they were all mixed together.
