Upon hearing these words, the book in Perfected Being Sheng Xu's hand instantly lost its appeal, and he stared at the elder with a particularly serious expression.

"Elder, this matter is not trivial. If what you say is true, then the seal of the Demon Emperor has loosened even more than I imagined!"

The elder nodded, his wrinkled face revealing a look of worry, and sighed.

"Ah... perhaps it is time for us to prepare for the worst."

Perfected Being Sheng Xu's brows furrowed, remaining silent.

The elder continued, "Disciple, the elder knows that you have always held resentment towards me, and there are some things that cannot be explained."

"Although the elder cannot prove that your short lifespan and the elder's playing of the zither for you, Xiao Kun Kun, are unrelated, the elder has always felt guilty about it."

"If the Demon Emperor truly breaks free from his seal this time, the elder will risk his life to do his utmost for Extreme Emptiness. Consider it the elder's way of atoning for the mistakes he made in his youth!"

The elder took two steps forward and held Perfected Being Sheng Xu's hand, speaking earnestly with sincere eyes.

He wanted to redeem himself for the sins of the past.

Perfected Being Sheng Xu calmly withdrew his hand, completely unaffected by the elder's words, and said slowly, "Remember what you said about atonement, but let's not discuss anything else."

Upon hearing this, the elder puffed his beard and glared.

"Oh, I see!"

The elder let go of Perfected Being Sheng Xu's hand, and his earnest expression disappeared in an instant.

Being the sect leader was different, becoming harder and harder to please. In the past, playing the emotional card would at least elicit some response, but now he was completely indifferent.

It was difficult to make any requests now.

Perfected Being Sheng Xu snorted, familiar with his elder's true nature. He always put on a facade, but had a wicked heart.

He didn't do anything useful when he was young.

And he didn't act like a proper elder when he grew old.

Every time, he would pretend to be remorseful and repentant. As soon as you let your guard down or show a little bit of emotion, he would start taking advantage.

His requests became more and more outrageous.

The most outrageous one was when he even suggested building a brothel under the Cliff of Reflection, claiming it was to solve the employment problem for the pretty girls in the villages around Extreme Emptiness Sacred Land.

Hah!

What a kind-hearted old man.

Perfected Being Sheng Xu spread his hands and said, "The matter of the Demon Emperor's seal loosening is of great importance. Recently, I will go with the Hall Master Qing Chen Junior Brother to reinforce the seal in the back mountain. Although it is only a temporary solution, it is the best we can do for now."

"Elder, please leave."

He issued the order to dismiss the elder.

"Actually, the elder still has something to discuss with you... hey, hey, wait, don't push me!"

The elder wanted to bring up his request in a tactful manner, but Perfected Being Sheng Xu violently interrupted him and pushed him out of the hall.

He closed the door.

The space became quiet again.

Perfected Being Sheng Xu let out a sigh of relief, stood still for a moment, and closed his eyes in contemplation.

The matter of the Demon Emperor weighed heavily on his mind.

Reinforcing the seal was only a temporary solution. He had to find a way to resolve this problem. He calculated with his fingers, took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered.

"Ah... Master doesn't know if he's right or wrong. From now on, I won't bother about you stealing the Eight Treasures Chicken. I hope Master is betting on the right thing..."

After saying these words, Perfected Being Sheng Xu shook his head, cleared his mind, and decided to continue lazing around on his couch.

But he found that the book he had casually placed there had disappeared.

He spat.

"This old dog!"

"I will definitely play the zither for you in this lifetime!"

...

At the back mountain of Vast Righteousness Peak.

Smoke rose from the cooking fire.

Zaizai held a chicken leg in each hand, devouring them greedily, completely disregarding the mess he made while stuffing them into his mouth.

The ground was littered with broken bones.

Wei Yunzheng looked at his junior sister's eating appearance and couldn't help but laugh, inwardly sighing that only food could heal her wounded soul.

It seemed that she had completely forgotten her previous fear.

She really had no worries.

That's good.

Saves me the trouble.

Wei Yunzheng flipped a piece of roasted meat into his mouth, the fragrance filling the air, and he felt like he was floating on clouds, savoring the lingering taste.

Zaizai... doesn't resent being punished, huh.

Wei Yunzheng's eyes lit up as he exclaimed that the Eight Treasure Chicken lived up to its reputation, truly a delicious dish that was renowned throughout the world.

He also faintly felt a rising heat in his stomach.

This was a manifestation of the medicinal properties contained within the Eight Treasure Chicken being resolved within his body.

Wei Yunzheng's index finger twitched, his appetite opened wide, and he was just about to have another piece when he realized that the roasted Eight Treasure Chicken on the shelf had been completely consumed.

Wei Yunzheng: ".........."

He really wanted to ask if everyone in this city ate so quickly and so much.

Zaizai rubbed his slightly bulging belly and licked his lips, clearly not fully satisfied.

Too little.

As for me, I can eat three in a row!

"Senior Brother, there's chicken butt here, do you want to eat it?" Zaizai pointed to the only remaining part of the whole chicken and asked.

Wei Yunzheng shook his head repeatedly.

Even if the Eight Treasure Chicken was delicious, he didn't want to eat chicken butt.

"It's such a waste." Zaizai sighed.

"Yes!" Wei Yunzheng nodded. Although it was chicken butt, it was still the chicken butt of the Eight Treasure Chicken. It would be a waste to throw it away.

Some things.

He definitely wouldn't eat them himself.

Seeing others eat them made him happy.

If others didn't eat them, it would be a waste.

He himself wouldn't eat them, as it should be.

Just like chicken butt.

"How about... I give it to your ugly Senior Brother?!" Wei Yunzheng suggested.

As fellow disciples.

Sharing good fortune and facing difficulties together.

Both he and Zaizai had enjoyed the Eight Treasure Chicken, such a delicious dish. It would be unfair not to let Zhou Chouchou taste it.

Zaizai's eyes lit up, thinking that Senior Brother's suggestion was very considerate, and immediately raised his hand in agreement.

But it wouldn't look good to just directly give him a chicken butt...

Wei Yunzheng thought for a moment.

He picked up a piece of chicken leg bone that Zaizai had thrown on the ground, poked it into the chicken butt, and tidied it up a bit to make it look like a chicken leg.

That would do.

Wei Yunzheng held up the fake chicken leg, proudly waved it at Zaizai, and said, "Don't let it slip, we're giving Chouchou a chicken leg."

"Great!"

Their little junior sister's eyes sparkled.

The two of them tidied up and buried the chicken bones they had made and the waste produced when processing the Eight Treasure Chicken in a small mound of soil.

Especially the feathers they had plucked, Wei Yunzheng summoned a wisp of Lixiao Dao Yan and burned them clean.

When they found Zhou Chouchou, he was emerging from a small grove, looking refreshed, and had just tied his belt tightly.

Lost in thought.

The color wasn't right... It seemed like he had been getting angry recently?

A chicken leg suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Junior Brother (Senior Brother), eat the chicken leg!" Wei Yunzheng didn't give Zhou Chouchou a chance to react, and directly stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhou Chouchou was stunned and swallowed it.

He licked his lips, his face full of surprise. How could this chicken leg be so delicious, it was infinitely memorable.

"Junior Brother, this was specially left for you by me and Zaizai, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's even more delicious when Senior Brother leaves it for me."

"You like chicken legs, that's good."

Uh...

"Senior Brother, actually I prefer chicken butt."

"Ah?"

Wei Yunzheng instantly felt that he had gone too far and asked, "Junior Brother, how did you come to like chicken butt?"

Zhou Chouchou scratched his head. "When I was a child, before I recognized my father, we lived in hardship and couldn't afford to eat chicken. Later, I had wealthy playmates who said I looked like a chrysanthemum, so they always saved a chicken butt for me. As I ate it, I grew to like it."

Wei Yunzheng listened silently.

He turned around silently.

I really deserve to die!
