Nangong Jiu felt a little insecure and retracted two fingers.
"If that doesn't work, three will do. We want to eat what the royal chef cooks."
Liu Xuan lost his composure: "Haha...Jiu'er, your request is too low! Okay, five roast chickens, guaranteed to be delivered on time every day.
But why five?"
"One for each of the three of us, and the other two are for my brother and his family."
Liu Xuan calculated and said, "If we add Xiaokang and Xiaole, two wouldn't be enough for eight of them. How about this, Uncle Huang gives you two?"
"Great, thank you, uncle!"
"No thanks, Uncle Huang, I'm just curious. Don't you get tired of eating roast chicken every day?"
"It's not greasy. There are several flavors of roast chicken. Let's switch."
Emperor Dongling looked at the delighted little man with a smile.
"Actually, you can definitely ask for other rewards. If you want roast chicken, just ask and Grandfather Huang will have it delivered to you every day."
"Hehe... We just want to eat the royal chef's roast chicken. We've been wanting it for half a year. We can't get the same taste anywhere else..."
In the evening, the group returned to the general's mansion, and the whole family was waiting in the flower hall.
Nangong Honglie looked at Nangong Jiu and said, "Grandfather has had the backyard fenced off. You can practice without worry. No one will dare to disturb you."
"Is it surrounded?"
"Well, time was short, so we simply used a curtain to mark the area and prevent the servants from crossing it."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
The next day, just after dawn, Nangong Jiu took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing to the backyard. After seeing the small enclosed world, Nangong Jiu nodded with satisfaction.
"They also set up tents for us, prepared mats, and refreshments... Grandfather and the others are so attentive, we must concentrate on our cultivation."
Little Wang Xiaoxing nodded heavily.
From that day on, the master and his two servants spent most of their time in the backyard, except for eating, sleeping, and occasionally going to the palace.
During this period, the Crown Princess successfully gave birth to the little grandson of the emperor, and specially sent a large wedding banquet to Nangong Jiu, which made the master and servant very happy.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was late March again, and Nangong Jiu and his group appeared in the magical forest again.
Xiao Wang and the others were setting up the cave, and Taoist Qingchen looked at Nangong Jiu: "Jiu Jun, Qingchen feels that you are about to break through."
"Well, I was about to break through during the New Year's holiday, but there has been no movement. I guess I need an opportunity."
"Opportunity? Could it be that we need to fight some magical beasts? Then we'll go tomorrow."
Nangong Jiu nodded: "Let's rest for a while today. By the way, your cultivation seems to have improved this winter."
"Yes, this winter, we have been busy training. Even Jingming has improved a lot. None of his disciples can match him anymore."
"That's right. If it weren't too dangerous to come here, take him with you."
"Let's wait until he's older."
The next morning.
Nangong Jiu and his group appeared in the jungle.
The monsters peeked in groups of three or four and talked in low voices.
"Did you see that? That female devil seems to have hit a bottleneck. After two years, she's still stuck at 60% of her cultivation level, which is a far cry from her previous level."
An orangutan scratched himself and said, "Yeah, when she was the empress, we couldn't last two moves in her hands. Now, it's hard to say."
"Tsk, you make it sound like you can beat her right now."
The orangutan raised his head and said, "Who said I can't beat her? I'm only at 60% of my level. I'm going to go and challenge her right now."
"Be careful. If you lose your life, don't blame us for not warning you."
"Can't you just hope for me? Humph... just wait and see!"
After a few jumps, the orangutan attacked Nangong Jiu directly. Its fierce attack drew cheers from the monsters.
Nangong Jiu smiled and said, "It seems that they think my cultivation has stagnated and that we are nothing to be feared, so they are starting to become more active.
You guys stand back, I want to put an end to this blind confidence of theirs."
Taoist Qingchen asked a few people to step back and watch the battle from a safe place.
Nangong Jiu just stood there waiting for the orangutan to attack.
Seeing that its big claws were several feet away, she still didn't move at all. The monsters were confused.
"Is that female devil too confident or just frightened?"
When the orangutan saw this, its keen sense of danger made it begin to regret its reckless behavior.
But the offensive could no longer be stopped. If he retreated forcefully, he would get hurt and lose face, so he had no choice but to charge forward.
When he was one foot away from Nangong Jiu, Nangong Jiu moved.
"Red-haired monster, you are quite generous. You actually offered to give me the inner elixir."
As soon as he finished speaking, he punched out.
There was only a loud "boom" and before the monsters could see what was happening, the orangutan had already fallen to the ground, deader than dead.
Nangong Jiuchao hooked his little finger at the surprised monsters: "Come on, let's see which is harder, my fist or your head."
The monsters were frightened and scattered like birds and beasts.
Taoist Qingchen laughed and said, "Jiujun, you've scared away all the monsters. Who are we going to fight?"
"Don't worry, there's never a shortage of opponents in the Magic Forest. Let's go over there. There should be high-level magical beasts in the canyon over there."
The group walked towards the canyon, but before they arrived, they could hear the roars of monsters from afar.
"There are monsters fighting over territory. We should sit back and watch the fight. When they're almost done, we'll take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew away. Taoist Qingchen and others hurriedly followed.
When we reached the top of the canyon and looked down, we saw a large group of wild boars and a large group of wolves fighting fiercely.
Screams and sounds of fighting echoed in the canyon.
Nangong Jiu frowned: "Under normal circumstances, these two parties should not fight. Something must have happened."
At this time, a few birds flew by hurriedly.
"The gray wolf is so bold that it dares to eat wild boar cubs. When has the wild boar ever suffered such humiliation? They will definitely fight to the death."
"That's right, neither side is easy to mess with. I'm afraid they won't stop until there's a winner today."
Nangong Jiu laughed when he heard this: "Let's just wait for them to fight today. After they're done fighting and disperse, we can go collect the inner elixir."
Huiyuan looked at so many high-level monsters and asked in confusion, "Why don't we join in the three-way melee?"
Taoist Priest Qingchen explained: "If we join, they will unite to deal with us.
We are having a hard time dealing with so many high-level monsters. If they attack us again or launch a surprise attack, our chances of success are slim."
"Qingchen is right. When Warcraft or Demonic Beasts are fighting in groups, you must not participate. Otherwise, you will die without knowing how.
When I was young, my brothers and I came to the Magic Forest to train, and we encountered a group fight between monsters. The corpses piled up like a mountain.
We thought we had gotten a bargain, so we rushed in and joined the fray.”
Xiao Wang asked curiously: "Was the result tragic?"
