Bai Feng was thoroughly disappointed at the notion of giving his magical silver box away.
After he knew that it was the source of his delicious chicken, he never wanted to give it away!
No matter how tired or bored he got of eating the chicken, that didn't mean he didn't enjoy it anymore.
To him. The chicken was the ultimate dish that he enjoyed carefully after eating it so much over the years.
How could he let go of such a delicacy? How could he let go of his treasure?
Mu An knew that it would be really hard. To convince him when he was like this.
She wasn't sure what she could tell Bai Feng to make him give her the box so she could present it to the lord immortal.
She knew that it would be dumb to anger an immortal who easily took out two fully grown men with one sandal.
But it seemed Bai Feng's belly was clouding his mind.
Or he didn't care?
Mu An slowly got closer to him, which made him try to back off as he knew his sister well, so Bai Feng knew that she was trying to get the box from him.
However, he found himself having no more space to run away!
The chickens were all in his way as they were still eating the seeds that he scattered beforehand.
Behind him stood the house, and in front of him the chickens plus his sister.
Bai Feng knew that there was no way. He would be able to get out of this through conventional means.
So what he had to do was use an unconventional one!
Suddenly he pointed towards Mu An's back as he shouted:
"Lord immortal is here!"
Mu An didn't even glance behind her as she snorted and said:
"This trick might have worked when I was 4 years old, but I'm not that young anymore, Bai Feng!"
Bai Feng was rather annoyed, this trick always worked when they were younger, but now she grew too smart!
However, Bai Feng wasn't discouraged by this as the goal was his tasty, crunchy, delicious future fried chicken.
Bai Feng tried to dash between his sister's legs only to immediately get stuck due to his big build and her thick thigs.
The thing was, even though Mu An tried to remove him from there, she couldn't!
His fat body combined with her slightly less fat body got them stuck together!
Mu An felt really embarrassed right now.
Brother and sister to be in this type of position?
It was really awkward, and Bai Feng didn't even know what to say as he tried to struggle out of the grasp of the thick thighs.
Being near his sister in such a way made him rather uncomfortable.
He tried to release himself using his strength, but Mu An started to cry out in pain, which made him stop.
"What are you doing, Bai Feng?
"Isn't it obvious? I'm just trying to remove myself from here."
"Well, you are doing it wrong! you almost hurt me, and what's with that Gorillapod strength you suddenly have?"
"Uh... I don't know. I just thought that you are too weak. Am I really that strong?"
"It's not the time to think about that!"
"Oh yeah."
"Maybe we can use some grease so I can wiggle my way out of here?"
"But the grease is in the kitchen... how am I supposed to walk like this?"
While their current position was comical, it also affected Mu An's ability to walk by quite a bit.
Bai Feng thought for a few seconds before he said:
"I can use my strength to act like a horse. Just give me directions as I can see only in one direction right now."
Mu An nodded as the idea was good enough before saying:
"Go backward, avoid the chicken at the right. Go left now, go forward a little bit more forward."
"Right, my right, not yours!"
Bai Feng knocked his backside over the tree that he usually slept under before moving again using the right directions.
Finally, they reached the kitchen as Mu An took some grease that she applied. To Bai Feng's body.
Then to her thighs, making Bai Feng easily slide out of them as they were a water slide.
"Finally, now you won't be able to catch me all greased up!"
Bai Feng clutched the silver chest in his hands as he tried to run away only to slip on the grease that somehow found itself on the ground and hit his head on the door that led outside.
Bai Feng clutched his head as Mu An took the silver box that laid on his chest and shook her head:
"Come on, little brother. You should know that we are doing this for the best of everyone."
Bai Feng got up from the ground as he nursed the big bump that appeared at the top of his head.
"But what's the best for everyone isn't the best for us, big sis."
Mu An patted his newly made bump as she said:
"Don't you think that I know that, you little brat?"
She sighed as she continued:
"But if we don't act like the others right now, they will look down upon us, and let's not even talk the punishment that immortal will dole on us before taking the box away from us anyways."
"It's just better to give it out voluntarily and get whatever prize or good news he will share with us."
Bai Feng was ready to burst into tears as he looked at the silver box. He wanted to hold it some more!
"Let's get going, little brother. We have to deliver this."
Bai Feng nodded begrudgingly and followed her outside their courtyard.
It didn't take them much time to get back to the middle of the village, where everyone else had already brought back the items that ensured their livelihood.
Some of them had a small watering can, some of them had seeds, others had golden bells or different other items that helped them in agriculture or animal rearing.
The old immortal looked through every item that was being put in front of him.
He tried to see if the villagers were trying to pull a fast one on him and throw some fakes amongst the special items he had given to their ancestors in the past.
After a short while, it was Mu An's turn to give back the silver box.
She slowly made her way towards the old immortal before placing the box in front of him and bowing. Afterward, she retreated towards her brother and waited for the immortal's words.
The old immortal looked through the items a few more times, then nodded and said:
"You have done a great job as you brought me all of the items without trying to cheat me by saying that you have lost them or trying to bring me counterfeits."
"Thus, I will not renege on my promise, and I will tell you the good news that you all have been waiting for so eagerly!"
The old smiled, showing a mouth full of sharp teeth, just like those of a beast:
"My sect has been opened for recruitment!"
The mayor was the first to ask:
"Lord immortal, is everyone allowed to come and join?"
The immortal shook his head as he said:
"No, only youths below 20 years of age are allowed to join the sect, and they must also be sufficiently talented to join."
Xiao Chun, who was still out cold, around the immortal's feet finally woke up. Then he started kowtowing while shouting at the top of his lungs:
"GRAND IMMORTAL PLEASE LET ME JOIN THE SECT. I WANT TO TAKE YOU AS A MASTER!"
The old man felt amused by Xiao Chun's antics.
He decided to amuse him as well as he responded:
"Sure, why not?"
Xiao Chun almost felt his eyes bulging out as he got the approval of the old man, he smiled as he pumped his fist to the sky and shouted happily:
"HELL YEAH!"
However, before he could continue being happy, he got patted on the head by the old man, and a bucket of cold water was seemingly thrown on his head:
"But you still need to first go through the tests of the sect before I take you as an apprentice."
"I will do as you instruct, master!"
The old man waved his hand, indicating for Xiao Chun to leave him alone.
Then his eyes wandered amongst the younger villagers as he tried to pick up more talented youngsters.
His eyes started to shine as he picked 3 more young men around the age of 16-18.
After that, he picked one more young girl, around 13 years old.
Finally, his eyes wandered towards Bai Feng and his sister:
"Do you two want to come with me as well?"
Mu An didn't need to be asked twice as she quickly got near the old man and tried to grab Bai Feng's hand to drag him near the old man as well.
However, she realized that Bai Feng wouldn't budge as he looked back towards their house.
"Mu An... I don't know."
Seeing that he was reluctant made Mu An a little bit reluctant as well, she got happy because she was going to live a different life, compared to what she was doing daily, she thought that she might even become an immortal herself!
But her roots were still in Millet village. She would miss her home and all of her belongings. Was she really ready to leave so quickly?
However, before she could say anything else the old man interjected:
"Yo, you fatty are trying to live a quiet life, eh?"
Bai Feng didn't know what to answer to that question when the old man continued:
"If you are scared your fatass won't have anymore fried chicken, you shouldn't worry as our sect will be able to make hundreds of times more chicken with the silver box you returned, and even more, delicious foods shall await you if you pass the test and do well in the sect!"
The moment these words left the old man's mouth was also the moment Bai Feng quickly made his way towards him.
He had a strange fire in his eyes as he looked directly into the old man's own eyes, his short greasy ponytail waved behind his back as if there was wind surrounding him and he opened his mouth to pose a question:
"Food more delicious than the heavenly fried chicken?"
"Tens of times more delicious, maybe even a hundred times!"
"Then I'm in!"
Bai Feng pumped his fist into the air as he said that while Mu An didn't know what to say at her brother's antics, she almost wanted to find a hole and hide in it as all of the villagers were looking at them.
"Ok then, since I have chosen the most talented people present, let's go!"
A rather long floral patterned rug flew down from the sky. Then the old man jumped agilely on it as if he was a monkey.
He patted it one time, letting it go lower as he looked at the wide-eyed youths that he chose and said:
"Hop on, and let's go!"
The younger girl that was 13 years old was the first to bellow in awe:"A flying rug? That's so cool!"The immortal smiled proudly as he patted his rug once more. It was both long enough and wide enough to handle all of the new youths that he had selected for the sect's tests.Bai Feng would lie if he said he wasn't impressed with the flying rug. He actually had the impulse of jumping on it and making it go high in the skies, he wasn't sure why, but he just felt like doing it.Even the serious and level-headed Mu An had this kind of impulse as her expression resembled her brother's.The immortal looked down at the table, which still held all of the items that the villagers returned.He patted the rug two times before the items on the table started to levitate towards it.Then the items slowly landed on the rug and entered it, disappearing thoroughly!It was as if they were never there!Every villager made 'ooh' and ah's
The rug stopped above a certain mountain, high around the peak of it, snow was slowly raining down from the top of the clouds- and onto Bai Feng and the others as they looked around with wonder.It was a very magical scene, but this was just the start.As the clouds in front of them parted, a small paradise was revealed to them- at the top of the mountain.Small palaces were placed around 100 meters away from each other. At the top of every palace, there was a sign that showed what those palaces contained.There were both young and aged people walking around, taking in the natural sights, before looking at the palace signs and entering the chosen palace.The strange thing was that most of the people present wore different outfits with different insignias pinned at their chests. Some people wore matching outfits and insignias, but they were mostly walking in groups, and it looked like no one knew much about the other. It was like all of these people
Bai Feng watched as the door of the residence closed in his face, and Shredder's slave grabbed him again by the ponytail to take him to the kitchen of this place.Bai Feng felt this position was rather awkward as he used his sleazy ponytail to make it fall out of the slave's grasp.The slave was surprised at how greasy Bai Feng's hair was, then he looked at his hand and grimaced. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to touch Bai Feng at all.He wanted to clear his dirty hand somewhere, but there was nothing that could be used around, so he put his hand on the ground, trying to get rid of the greasy feeling with some dirt.Bai Feng found this situation to be familiar, so he waited for the man to finish.However, if he knew where the kitchen was and if he was also allowed there without the slave, he wouldn't have waited for him as he wasted a good time when he could have been stuffing his face.He couldn't wait for more as his stomach started to rumble
The situation was extremely awkward as the girl forgot what she had to say. She covered her face with her palms as she got as red as a boiling lobster and angrily shouted at Bai Feng:"Cover yourself, you damn animal!"Even though she said that with conviction. She couldn't help but peek between her fingers once at Bai Feng's lower body, Bai Feng became embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything underwater, and he was also running out of air, so he tried to swim up.The blue-haired girl was quite embarrassed by what happened, so she didn't stop him from swimming up, even though she did want to stop him as he polluted her river.Bai Feng swam up and took another gulp of air as he sighed and looked down at the water:"Why would she drag me down? Actually, why can she talk underwater?"Bai Feng was full of questions, but considering his location, he just took her as a water spirit of some sort that might have been offended by his act of taking a
Bai Feng could feel the familiar smell becoming more and more distinct in his senses. It was almost as if some of his memories were being replayed in front of him.The scene of his sister cooking chicken for him while he kept his thumb in his mouth while drooling like a dog.It was almost as if the fried chicken from before was being waved below his nose and tempting him to open his mouth and take a bite.Drool started to drip from Bai Feng's mouth as something strange started to happen in his body.Mo Pian's eyes widened as he glanced at Bai Feng's rotund body, which was currently shrinking.His senses told him that Bai Feng didn't absorb any Qi from anywhere nor that his strength was increasing, so why the hell was this happening?Mo Pian's taught technique was given to him by the sect elders. Everyone got the technique as long as they were deemed talented enough, but Mo Pian didn't research much into it.Bai Feng's current situatio
Mo Pian coughed and shook his head to clear it. He wasn't sure if they will continue to have enough ingredients around when Bai Feng would grasp his cooking techniques. He hoped the young would have some self-control as the kitchen would still have to sell food...Well occasionally...If Mo Pian thought about it more... he didn't really have any business as most people would either go to the casino or rarely come to get grub from his place, most of them would eat food brought by themselves to save money that they could gamble or use on the other entertainment facilities rather than buy food.Mo Pian sighed, then he waved towards Bai Feng, who was full of energy and ready to learn cooking from him.The duo returned to the kitchen, which was now more ventilated after Bai Feng's incident as Mo Pian left a small window open before he quickly rushed out with Bai Feng out of the room."Ok, we will start with the basics."Mo Pian took the pan from
Bai Feng's eyes were attracted towards Chen Lingxi's. The yellow color and the slits that made her look like a cat made him forget his previous fear of her for a few seconds. She looked quite exotic for Bai Feng, who had never seen such a woman before.Her slightly tanned skin and her golden eyes- along with her red hair made her look like a cat that tail was swinging from side to side, ready to attack.Her eyes narrowed as she saw Bai Feng's stunned expression, and she laughed while putting her hand over her mouth and also leaning her head slightly to the back:"Ohoo? Did I just smite this little waiter?"Her anger diminished by a bit as she gloated inside. Naturally, as a vain person, she liked to be praised by others. Knowingly or unknowingly."Seeing that you have good taste, I might just give you a pass for this one. Now get over here and tell us your specialties."Bai Feng broke from his stunned state and got a little bit closer to the
Mo Pian sighed as he waved his hand and told Bai Feng:"Let's get out of here. I will explain to you a little bit about this person so you will be able to avoid her in the future... she is quite the pain in the sides for most normal disciples and hires of the sect.""You see, Chen Lingxi is the daughter of the second most influential loan shark in the sect, just a little bit below Shredder, his name is Zoro Makioto, and his capital is increasing every day as he gives better rates than Shredder at the moment... or atleast that's what the latest news I heard said.""Anyways, I'm not sure why she was interested you. But you have to keep yourself away from her. She isn't a good person by a good stretch, as she had been pampered since she was little, and because of that she is very bratty...""I think you saw by yourself how she acted because of our lack of ingredients... she mostly did that because you are a new face, and she wanted to make you suffer a bit.
