"Xiao, you're really amazing." Se gave a thumbs up, her face full of admiration.
You can swallow this?
admire!
Xiao didn't say anything, but grabbed another piece of fried cicada demon, chewed it perfunctorily a couple of times, and swallowed it whole.
His neck was stretched out really long.
The veins on it were clearly visible.
Xiao's expression was extremely serious, so serious that it seemed as if he was ready to die.
"Are you alright?" Wen Meier frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes, and asked softly.
Could this child have suffered some kind of trauma?
No, I need to ask them properly.
Don't do anything.
They're all still young, and they have a long life ahead of them.
"Xiao, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. As the city lord, I will do my best to help you," Wen Meier said, patting Xiao's shoulder.
"No, no problem." Xiao's expression twitched slightly.
Although I swallowed the fried cicada demon whole, the taste lingered in my mind.
He can't hold on much longer.
My stomach churned violently, almost to the point of rising up my throat.
Xiao pursed her lips tightly.
Persevere, you must persevere.
I'm only a little bit away from advancing to the Incarnation Realm.
After eating the Cicada Demon Feast prepared by Miss Su Su, his cultivation level soared from the fifth level of the Core Formation Realm to the peak of the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm.
It is evident that this cicada demon is a highly nourishing substance.
It is even more precious than elixirs.
Therefore, you must persevere.
Xiao gave himself countless mental suggestions before finally suppressing the urge to vomit.
Then he waited with a joyful expression for his advancement to the Incarnation Realm.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no response.
Xiao looked up blankly at everyone and asked, "Why didn't it work?"
Everyone was taken aback by the question.
"What do you mean it's useless? What did you say?" Ser spread his hands, indicating that he didn't understand.
"I'm just a hair's breadth away from advancing to the Incarnation Realm. I thought eating a cicada demon would make it happen naturally, but I don't feel anything at all," Xiao said, frowning.
"What?" Everyone was shocked. "You didn't feel anything at all?"
They only took one bite before spitting it out.
The taste was really not something I could compliment.
They still won't take the poison.
Therefore, they essentially didn't eat it, so naturally they didn't know if it was useful.
"No." Xiao shook his head: "It's still just a little bit short."
"I'll give it a try." Qin took a deep breath, grabbed a piece of fried cicada demon, and threw it into her mouth with a look of resignation.
"Don't swallow it whole. I just swallowed it whole, and it didn't work," Xiao said hurriedly.
Qin's expression turned bitter.
Then he took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and began to chew the cicada demon with all his might.
That face...
It would take at least a hundred years of grievances to fully express the situation.
Finally, Qin chewed it up and stretched her neck to swallow it.
He didn't even drink a sip of water.
I didn't drink any water when I ate the fried cicada pupae made by Su Su before.
To avoid conflict.
Qin endured the unpleasant taste in her mouth and the churning in her stomach, and waited quietly for a while.
Use any reaction.
"How is it?" Xiao stepped forward and asked nervously.
"No, no response." Qin shook her head.
The crowd looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Could it be that the cicada demon was only effective at first, and then became useless?" Ser thought for a moment and asked.
“It’s also possible that the method is wrong. The ones made by Miss Susu are absolutely delicious,” Gu said.
“Gu is right.” Wen Mei’er nodded: “The method must be wrong.”
"Auntie, what are you doing?" At this moment, Wen Qiang'er walked in from outside: "Something's happened... Holy crap!"
Looking at the golden cicada pupa cut open on the table, Wen Qiang'er couldn't help but swear.
"You made it yourselves?"
Wen Mei'er said shyly, "The cicada pupae made by Miss Su Su were so delicious that we couldn't resist catching some ourselves."
"Is this... edible?" Wen Qiang'er asked with great skepticism.
"The taste isn't quite right," Wen Mei'er said with a dry laugh.
"Let me try it," Wen Qiang'er said, picking up a piece of fried cicada nymph.
"No..." Wen Mei'er hurriedly stopped her.
But Wen Qiang'er had already stuffed it into her mouth, and everyone quickly closed their eyes upon seeing this.
The next second, Wen Qiang'er spat out a bunch of vomit, and then started dry heaving.
Her face turned deathly pale from vomiting.
"Qiang'er, are you alright?" Wen Mei'er hurriedly patted her back to help her catch her breath.
"Auntie, your cooking skills are really... ugh..." Before Wen Qiang'er could finish her sentence, her stomach churned again.
"You're too quick to speak, I didn't even have time to stop you," Wen Mei'er continued patting Wen Qiang'er's back.
It took Wen Qiang'er quite a while to finally stop.
"Qiang'er, are you alright?" Wen Mei'er asked with concern.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, I can hold on." Wen Qiang'er wiped her mouth and looked at the fried cicada pupae on the table with lingering fear.
Good heavens, this is even more potent than poison!
"Is there something you need?" Wen Mei'er asked.
She remembered that when Qiang'er first came in, she said, "There's something I need to tell you," and she was sure she hadn't misheard.
"It's like this, Peak Master Niu is planning to lead everyone to capture some more cicada demons, so I came here specifically to invite you all to go together," Wen Qiang'er said.
This is also considered contributing.
Then it won't be like getting free food and drinks for nothing.
“Okay, no problem.” Wen Mei’er nodded hurriedly: “I also want to ask you something.”
“Your cicada demons must have done something wrong. Miss Susu is the Goddess of Food, someone we can’t compare to,” Wen Qiang’er said before Wen Mei’er could ask.
“I know now that what I did was wrong,” Wen Meier said. “What I want to ask is, does this cicada demon have the effect of increasing cultivation?”
Wen Qiang'er was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh: "Auntie, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Don't you have any?" Wen Mei'er was also taken aback.
"These cicada demons are just low-level monsters; they have no effect on improving cultivation at all," Wen Qiang'er said confidently.
“But we all ate the cicada demons made by Miss Su Su before, and our cultivation levels improved to varying degrees,” Qin couldn’t help but say.
"That's because the seasonings Miss Susu uses for cooking are at least made from Open Heaven Spiritual Roots. Even stir-frying shoe soles can enhance one's cultivation," Wen Qiang'er explained.
"Open, open the Heavenly Spiritual Root..." Wen Mei'er swallowed and stammered.
The others looked at Wen Qiang'er as if they were dreaming.
After a while, Gu said, "Qin, pinch me, let me see if I'm dreaming?"
Qin pinched herself, looking dazed, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, it really was a dream." Gu shook his head.
The next second, Xiao jumped up from the spot with a "whoosh": "Of course you don't feel pain, she pinched me, she pinched my thigh until it was swollen."
