Chapter 268 - 266: Uncle, do you also want to drink Beast Milk?
Chu Chen summoned two more Battle Bodies, tasked specifically with collecting the corpses of Fierce Beasts and transporting them back to the Divine Coffin. There, the remaining two Battle Bodies and Chu Xin joined in to skin and gut the beasts. Meanwhile, Chu Chen was entirely responsible for roasting the meat and cooking Blood Soup.
"Are these clones or Spirit Bodies?"
Jin Hong opened his mouth wide in surprise. Many cultivators practiced the Clone Technique, but the cultivation level of a clone needed to be cultivated from scratch.
Beyond clones, there were also Spirit Bodies, whose cultivation level depended on the main body’s level at the time of separation. Once a Spirit Body was created, its cultivation could not be improved, and each Spirit Body had a limited lifespan.
"No,"
Chu Chen shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I think it’s called a Battle Body."
"Battle Body?"
Jin Hong was even more shocked. Battle Bodies were extremely difficult to cultivate. Once successfully cultivated, a Battle Body’s level could automatically advance with the main body’s improvement without the need for its own cultivation. Of course, cultivating on its own would naturally accelerate the cultivation progress.
For ordinary cultivators, cultivating even one Battle Body was extremely difficult, yet these two brats had managed to cultivate so many Battle Bodies.
After finishing with a Fierce Beast corpse, Chu Xin brought the meat to the grilling rack and, with a cheeky smile, said, "Yep, they’re Battle Bodies. We ate Blood Soup made with Nine-colored Deer Grass on Deer Island, and after eating it, we comprehended the Nine-colored Battle Body."
Comprehending the Nine-colored Battle Body just by eating Blood Soup?
Jin Hong was speechless. That sounded too easy.
Wait a second, Nine-colored Deer Grass?
He suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually went to Deer Island and snatched the Nine-colored Deer Grass from the Nine-colored Deer?"
The Nine-colored Deer was an Eighth Rank Middle Stage Demon Beast, and with its Innate Divine Ability, the Nine-colored Battle Body, even a Martial Emperor in the late stage wouldn’t likely defeat it on Deer Island.
How could these two brats, along with a Demon Beast not native to State Sea at the early stage of Eighth Rank, possibly defeat the Nine-colored Deer?
However, these two brats were clearly troublemakers. If they could provoke the Martial Emperors of Cangzhou, Thunder State, and Desolate State into chasing them and still remain unscathed, they definitely weren’t simple.
Considering this, it didn’t seem impossible for them to have snatched the Nine-colored Deer Grass right from under the Nine-colored Deer’s nose.
"We didn’t snatch it,"
Chu Chen said indignantly, his eyes wide with anger, "Our Nine-colored Deer Grass was a gift from our mentor."
"Mentor?"
Jin Hong had a puzzled expression. What did the Nine-colored Deer Grass have to do with their mentor? Could it be that their mentor had snatched it from the Nine-colored Deer?
This thought left him in awe, "Your mentor is truly formidable, managing to snatch the Nine-colored Deer Grass right from the mouth of the Nine-colored Deer within the Deer Cave."
What kind of terrifying family did these two brats come from that even their mentor could steal from the Nine-colored Deer?
They had mentioned their mother being imprisoned in the Imperial City, hadn’t they?
If they were to make a scene in the Imperial City, it could lead to a major crisis.
If he had the opportunity, he should persuade Empress to release their mother, to build good karma. Given the Empire’s current instability, it could hardly afford any more turmoil.
As Chu Chen turned the meat on the grill, a two-headed piglet by his side drooled over the roasting meat and explained, "No, our sister and brother’s mentor is the Nine-colored Deer itself."
"What?"
Jin Hong nearly fell over, his face a picture of disbelief. An Eighth Rank Middle Stage Demon Beast serving as a mentor to two brats? That was utterly preposterous.
"What’s the matter?"
Chu Chen looked up at him, his round eyes showing a hint of confusion, "My sister and I have been drinking the Nine-colored Deer’s Beast Milk since we were little, you know? Dad said since we’re given milk to drink but she’s not our mother, we should call her ’mentor.’"
"Drinking Nine-colored Deer Beast Milk since childhood?"
Jin Hong swallowed hard and was shocked once again.
That was the milk of an Eighth Rank Demon Beast, containing such terrifying energy, and these two little milk babies had been drinking it since they were little? Could their bodies handle it?
Their father’s heart was too big; wasn’t he afraid that the little milk babies would be blown up by the Eighth Rank Beast Milk and die?
"Uncle, would you like to drink some too? I can share a bit with you, Dad said that good things should be shared with good people. Uncle helped us pay for the Transmission Array Spirit Stones, so you’re a good person."
Chu Chen, with his left hand still flipping the roast meat, took out a large bowl with his right hand, half-filled with Beast Milk, and waved his plump little hand, handing the bowl to Jin Hong with a smile, "Uncle, drink up, it’s really good."
"No need, this is too precious, I can’t drink it."
Jin Hong hurriedly waved his hand to decline, but couldn’t help swallowing again.
That was an Eighth Rank treasure; which cultivator wouldn’t want to taste it? Moreover, the energy contained in the Eighth Rank Beast Milk might very well help him break through his bottleneck, which would increase his hope of surviving even more.
But now, apart from the few Spirit Stones he had snatched from enemies and the Spirit Stones the two little milk babies gave him, he had nothing else to offer in exchange. He felt a bit guilty about drinking such a precious item for free.
"What’s so precious about this?"
Chu Chen waved his plump little hand nonchalantly and said, "My sister and I still have lots and lots more. Let me tell you, the milk from the nurse was all emptied by Dad, it’s all with my sister and me now, we can drink it for a long time."
The Nine-colored Deer was emptied by their father?
Jin Hong had a peculiar look on his face; that phrase sounded so strange, as if their father had done something indecent to the Nine-colored Deer. Surely their father wouldn’t cheat with a Demon Beast, right?
When he thought about a grown man and a deer, the imagery was too beautiful, so beautiful it was hard to look directly at it.
No, no, that can’t be the case.
Jin Hong shook his head quickly, dispelling those not suitable for children, no, not suitable for humans images from his mind, and muttered softly, "I wonder if their father would get so angry when he hears the little milk baby’s words that he would smack their bottoms until they burst."
"Uncle, what did you say?"
Chu Chen, not having heard clearly, asked with confusion.
"Nothing, it’s nothing." Your journey continues at NovelBin.Côm
Jin Hong quickly waved his hand and then looked at the half bowl of Beast Milk again. After hesitating, he said, "If that’s the case, then I won’t be polite, I’ll remember this kindness."
It seemed that after returning to the Imperial City, he really needed to remonstrate to death, asking the Empress to release the two little milk babies’ mother.
First, it would let the Empire gain another friend and one fewer enemy; second, he could repay the two little milk babies for their life-saving grace and the gift of milk.
"Mmm."
Chu Chen nodded his head and then turned to the roast meat in his hand, and called out, "Sister, the roast meat is ready, come and try it."
"Alrighty!"
Chu Xin put down the Fierce Beast carcass in her hands and ran over, grabbing a skewer of roast meat taller than herself, and not minding the heat, she started gobbling it up.
"Wow! Delicious, this Fierce Beast meat is so chewy; people with bad teeth wouldn’t be able to eat it."
She praised, her mouth full of food making her words unclear. @@novelbin@@
Jin Hong explained, "The energy of the Fierce Beast is all stored in its body, there’s more energy in the flesh than in demon beasts, so naturally, it’s chewier when you eat it."
"I see."
Chu Chen had an epiphany and offered Jin Hong a skewer of roast meat, saying, "Uncle, eat the roast meat while drinking the Beast Milk, it’s even more amazing."
What do you think?
