Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Outside.

The red-haired zombie king watched helplessly as the duck he was about to eat flew into the iron cage, and he was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Sand and gravel rained down from above, making a clanging sound as they hit the cage walls.

Mo Fei took a breath and turned to Yu Luoning, saying, "This matter is considered settled, but we haven't settled the score for you hanging me from the tree earlier."

Yu Luoning raised an eyebrow: "Then what about the time you mocked me outside? Let me tell you, things are different now. You can come in, and I can throw you out too."

Mo Fei suddenly paused, staring intently at Feng Qiguang, only to see that Feng Qiguang had not expressed any opinion on the matter.

He pointed back and forth between Feng Qiguang and Yu Luoning, stammering, "Wait, what's going on between you two? I think I overheard something about her being pregnant with your child?"

Mo Fei seemed incredulous, yet felt an indescribable sense of loss.

"In the blink of an eye, you even have a child?"

Feng Qiguang: "That's my business, you don't need to worry about it. Now that you're in the cage, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Mo Fei grunted, "Do you know who she is? She's Young Master Li's personal maid. Prince Feng, your taste is quite unique, isn't it?"

Feng Qiguang, who was fanning the charcoal fire, suddenly stopped.

He knew that Yu Luoning had been at the Li family's house all this time, but he never expected that Yu Luoning would become Li Yunyu's personal maid.

Li Yunyu himself knew that he was a famous genius in Nanchuan who cultivated the Dao of Nirvana.

He cursed the Li family in his heart, calling them scoundrels.

In his previous search for the woman who had stolen his virginity, he had sent countless secret letters to the Li family, but the Li family always claimed that they could not find such a person, which was truly hateful.

It's no wonder that Feng Qiguang had dark thoughts. Yu Xiaoguai was carrying his child, yet she was able to enter the Li family safely, live in Li Yunyu's backyard, and hide perfectly under the Li clan's protective formation. How could this be someone who didn't exist? Clearly, someone was protecting her.

Just thinking about it sent chills down Feng Qi's spine.

If the Li family sees this causal constraint as an opportunity and uses Yu Xiaoguai's unborn child as leverage to deal with the Feng family in the future...

The Li family deserves to die!

Feng Qiguang's voice was icy: "How the Li family can hide someone is something I will deal with Li Yunyu myself. My purpose in coming to Nanchuan this time is to bring her back to the Feng family, whether it's a proper marriage or keeping her as a mistress, she can only belong to the Feng family for the rest of her life."

As soon as Feng Qiguang finished speaking, Yu Luoning looked constipated.

She was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes inwardly. Seriously, big brother? Who are you? And you're destined to be a member of the Feng family for life?

It seems that after this trip to the cave, she will run as far away as possible.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Inside the golden iron cage, the three sat, their eyes fixed on the horde of zombies no more than two zhang away.

The red-haired zombie king also squatted by the stone wall, hugging his knees, silently watching them. His eyes were cloudy and yellowish, and a sticky line of saliva hung from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the ground and wisps of black smoke rising from it.

Looks like he's still a drug kingpin.

The group of little zombies behind him were restless.

They watched as their saliva kept dripping down their faces.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Luoning woke up from a nap to find that the group of zombies had not left and were guarding the area tightly, as if they were certain that they would eventually come out out of hunger.

Sigh, it seems that nowadays it's all about who has the longest patience.

Yu Luoning used a purification talisman, then took out today's meal, which was also cured meat she bought in Baoshan Town.

Today's lunch is stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured pork, served with white rice.

The oil bursts open, the edges of the cured meat curl up, revealing an enticing amber color, and the salty and smoky aroma rushes into the passage.

Even the usually stubborn Feng Qiguang couldn't help but let his Adam's apple bob.

Murphy was in an even worse state, his stomach was pounding like drums.

Yu Luoning tilted her head to look at him, feigning ignorance, and asked, "What? You want some too?"

Mo Fei immediately looked away: "I have fasting pills. I can endure it without taking them."

"Oh, then you can eat those cold, hard pills and see how long you can last. When you come out of the cave, ugh, your breath will smell like those pills. Tsk tsk tsk, where is the demeanor of a noble young master?"

Murphy: ...

Yu Luoning sighed, "Let me tell you, only by eating properly, with a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and keeping your mouth clean, can you avoid bad breath. If you go out with this stinky breath, girls will avoid you even if they only look at you once."

Mo Fei's temple throbbed with anger; he finally couldn't hold back any longer. "...Why is your mouth so sharp? Can you stop spouting nonsense?"

Yu Luoning laughed and scooped up the rice with a spoon, making it even more fragrant.

She blinked and said, "How about a bowl of rice? Plenty of white rice, with fragrant cured meat. One bite and I guarantee your soul will go home."

Mo Fei's Adam's apple bobbed again, and he coughed lightly, "Since you sincerely invited me, then I will reluctantly have a taste..."

Before he could finish speaking, a slender, fair hand reached out in front of him.

Yu Luoning smiled brightly, "One spirit stone."

Mo Fei immediately exploded, "You swindler! One spirit stone is equal to ten taels of silver. Do you know how many plates of bamboo shoots stir-fried with cured meat ten taels of silver can buy in the mortal realm?"

Yu Luoning looked completely innocent: "Then go buy it! If you're so capable, go out and buy it right now. Don't you know that prices are determined by supply and demand? Right now, I'm the only one who can provide bamboo shoots stir-fried with cured pork. I can charge whatever price I want."

Mo Fei's face turned green with anger. He cursed and swore for a long time, but in the end, he reluctantly took out a low-grade spirit stone and threw it into her hand.

Yu Luoning happily accepted the rice and chopsticks, saying, "If you find it too salty, I have some water here. It's not expensive; a pot only costs one spirit stone."

Mo Fei was furious: "If I need to buy water from you, I'm a dog."

He lowered his head and started eating his rice. It smelled so good!

However, cured pork is quite salty, and eating too much of it leaves a salty and astringent taste in your mouth.

Yu Luoning smiled and accepted another spirit stone.

Mo Fei gulped down a mouthful of water to suppress the saltiness in his mouth. He looked at Yu Luoning with disdain: "I said, did you deliberately make this cured meat too salty so I'd have to buy water from you?"

Yu Luoning nodded without any sense of decency.

Murphy “…”

Having witnessed the entire event, Feng Qiguang's lips twitched slightly.

Yu Luoning weighed the two spirit stones in her hand and couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if there were a few more cultivators. It would be best if they weren't Foundation Establishment cultivators; I don't have a good impression of people like you who don't eat."

Mo Fei almost laughed out of exasperation, "You've blurted out your thoughts."

Yu Luoning: "That's because I'm honest. Unlike you all who all have mines at home, I'm penniless and can only rely on myself. I feel guilty about using trickery and deception to make money, so I have to find a way to make money."

Feng Qiguang said matter-of-factly, "Once you join my Feng family, you won't have to worry about survival. As long as I have spirit stones and cultivation resources, I will give them to you."

Yu Luoning paused with her chopsticks, but didn't reply.

She doesn't rule out marriage and having children, but with a catalog of handsome men at her fingertips, anyone would know how to choose, right? What's the point of having more cultivation resources? Nothing beats a quick copy and paste.

Moreover, it's directly upgraded to the maximum level with automatic completion. Take the Sky-Crossing Technique for example; presumably, even the Feng family doesn't have an advanced version.

She swallowed the thought back, maintained her composure, and continued eating with her head down.

The two of them ate their cured meat and rice with great relish.

Despite his stubbornness, Feng Qiguang could resist his cravings. He remained on edge, constantly watching his surroundings.

But then they saw the red-haired zombie king lick his lips, his mouth watering.

Finally, it couldn't hold back any longer.

It slowly turned its head and stared at a small zombie next to it.

Before the little zombie could react, it was lifted up by the dog.

A snap.

The sound of bones shattering exploded.

The red-haired zombie king lowered its head and began to chew.

Yu Luoning felt a chill run down her spine and almost dropped her chopsticks.

They really are beasts; they can even eat their own kind.

"This zombie king is so greedy he's even eating his underlings?"

The men looked grim.
