Under One Person: Starting from the Inheritance of Gods

Chapter 433 Feng Baobao: Eating hot pot starts from the beginning!
"Duo'er, look what I brought you?"

Within the Heavenly Dao Space, Meng Fan, as if presenting a treasure, took out something resembling a caterpillar from behind him and handed it to Chen Duo.

Its color is golden yellow, as if it were cast in gold. Its body surface has even more dazzling golden patterns, and its body exudes a power that distorts space and time. What is most unsettling is that the insect is also tied with a bow.

Well, it's somewhat like a combination of a caterpillar and a unicorn, but much more handsome.

Poppy Ryuzaka: I'm so mortified. This is so embarrassing! I am an ancient god, an ancient god, an ancient god! I'll say it three times because it's important. I'm not a gift for girls!

The little insect held its tail in its mouth, forming a loop, and dared not show its head, trying its best to play dead.

"Caterpillar?"

Chen Duo tilted her head and gently poked the caterpillar with her finger. The caterpillar seemed to be startled and quickly wriggled and curled up into a ball.

Meng Fan explained, "This is Poppy Ryusaka, also known as the Gate Worm. It possesses the ability to devour the world and consume time and space. Your Myriad Gu Immortal Body is just missing such a treasure to serve as a Gu Saint and suppress other Gu worms."

Upon hearing this, Chen Duo immediately picked it up, patted its head, and laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Do you want to acknowledge me as your master?"

Poppy Ryuzaka nodded hastily, afraid of being even a little too slow. Heaven knows what kind of suffering He had endured under Meng Fan's hands, and how He had been tormented. To Him, Meng Fan was simply a terrifying demon king.

Seeing Bobby Ryuzaka nodding vigorously, Chen Duo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Looks like you're even more anxious than I am!"

With a gentle flick of her fingertip, a drop of crystal-clear blood seeped out and floated in the air. Within the blood droplet, the phantom images of countless Gu worms could be vaguely seen, emanating a mysterious aura.

"Come on, let's sign the contract!"

Poppy Ryuzaka hesitated for a moment, stealing a glance at Meng Fan standing to the side. Meng Fan raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, and Poppy Ryuzaka shuddered, tears welling in its eyes, and rushed towards the drop of blood essence.

The moment it touched the blood bead, the space around it suddenly trembled slightly, and countless golden runes emerged from the void, turning into chains that bound the man and the insect together.

Chen Duo's pupils suddenly turned into a dazzling gold, and a phantom image of ten thousand Gu (poisonous insects) paying homage appeared behind her.

Meng Fan raised his hand and touched Chen Duo's brow. The surging power immediately subsided, and the restless Gu worm phantoms quietly prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing to the caterpillar phantom together!

Poppy Ryuzaka had now transformed into a golden pattern, wrapped around Chen Duo's wrist like a delicate bracelet. However, this "bracelet" would occasionally wriggle slightly, making it look rather comical.

"Brother Meng Fan, it seems to be trembling?" Chen Duo curiously poked her wrist.

Meng Fan snorted lightly: "This bug has stolen a lot of the world's essence, and now it's stuffed."

As she spoke, she flicked the gold bracelet with her finger, and Poppy Ryuzaka immediately let out a scream.

Meng Fan originally wanted to see if Bobby Ryuzaka could transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly, since butterflies are more suitable for girls than caterpillars. But to his surprise, Bobby Ryuzaka was a disappointment and could not "evolve" no matter what methods Meng Fan used.

Poppy Ryuzaka: So that's why you stuffed all that weird stuff into me and gave me an upset stomach.

Meng Fan: It's just a little bit of genes, evolutionary rules, and some world origin. I followed the cultivation methods in the Elven language exactly. Who knew that you can eat everything in the world, but you just can't digest these good things!
Poppy Ryuzaka: I'm crying in the bathroom!

After Chen Duo absorbed Bobbi Ryuzaka into her Gu Dan microcosm, she took Meng Fan's hand and said, "Brother Meng Fan, I heard there's a Tomb Raider world with some strange snakes and insects. Can I go and take a look?"

"The world of Tomb Raider Chronicles?!"

"I remember it was handed over to the Ruler of Life to handle, so why can't I recall going to other worlds?" Meng Fan asked.

Chen Duo said guiltily, "It was Bao Bao. She invited me to go with her."

"Feng Baobao... um!"

Meng Fan suddenly narrowed his eyes and warned, "Let's make this clear first, the insects and poisonous creatures in the Tomb Raider world are very dirty, so you two are not allowed to use them for hot pot."

Chen Duo, looking like her little scheme had been exposed, stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Meng Fan! We're just going to take a look, we definitely won't eat anything indiscriminately!"

Meng Fan ruffled her hair helplessly: "You, last time you secretly cooked hot pot, and Zhang Chulan ate it and had diarrhea for three days. I still remember that."

Chen Duo blinked her innocent big eyes: "That time was an accident. I just ground the Gu worm into powder and used it as a seasoning. I only added a little bit. I didn't expect Zhang Chulan's stomach to be so delicate."

As they were talking, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Dao Space, and Feng Baobao, with her messy hair, poked half of her body out, holding a bubbling bronze cauldron in her hands.

"Duo'er, hurry up! I just borrowed this bronze cauldron from my older sister. She said it's really great for cooking things, it gives them a special flavor!"

Meng Fan: "..."

Chen Duo: "..."

Meng Fan's lips twitched: "I remember my older sister just came back from the world of Ghost Blows Out the Light not long ago, right? Is this a special souvenir she brought back?"

Suddenly, Poppy Ryuzaka transformed back into her insect form from the golden bracelet, her eyes gleaming: "Squeak squeak squeak!"

(Translation: Count me in!)

Meng Fan grabbed Bobi Ryuzaka, who was trying to slip away, and said to Feng Baobao with a forced smile, "Baobao, could it be that the Pure Land Āgama is soaking in this cauldron?"

Feng Baobao nodded seriously: "That's right! I also added Dap Ghost Bugs as a side dish. They crunch and crunch, and the taste is a wonderful contrast of hot and cold. It's really novel."

As he spoke, he pulled out several dark green logs from behind his back. "Look, these are freshly broken pieces of Kunlun sacred tree wood. They burn very well and are great as firewood!"

Meng Fan rubbed his forehead, and suddenly dense contract clauses appeared between his fingers. He said to Chen Duo, "If you want to go, then first sign this 'Otherworld Food Safety Guarantee'."

Chen Duo and Feng Baobao immediately gathered around to examine the fine print on the contract:
"Article 1: It is forbidden to eat the human-hand clam from the underground palace of the King of the South China Sea."

.........

Article Thirteen: Drinking monkey wine from the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is prohibited.

Article 21: The crested snake from the Queen Mother of the West's palace is prohibited from being made into spicy strips.

.........

With a flick of his sleeve, Meng Fan teleported the two of them together: "Now, immediately, go and report to the Ruler of Life. And tell her that if she lets you run wild, I'll smash the Ancient Tree of Life she just got and plant mushrooms in it!"

As the light flashed, Feng Baobao's voice could be faintly heard: "That's right, Zhang Chulan said there are thousand-year-old blood corpses in the tomb."

"Sister Bao'er, please stop! Brother Meng Fan's face has turned green!"

Poppyuzaka (whispering): "Squeak squeak squeak..."

(Translation: I have a secret side dish, blood corpse sashimi, which actually tastes pretty good...)
Meng Fan roared in fury: "You all come back here!!!"

(The Heavenly Dao Space is violently shaking)

------

According to the previous division, the Ruler of Life is responsible for conquering the world of Tomb Raider. She initially selected Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and Wang Ye as the vanguard team to explore the true situation of the world.

As for Chen Duo, it was a complete accident. She didn't expect Feng Baobao to invite Chen Duo to join. Her older sister originally wanted to come too, but was rejected by the ruling power of life.

If Chen Duo, Sister, and Feng Baobao were to get together, who knows what kind of chaos they would cause? They might even use the Candle Nine Yin Manual as a hot pot.

Feng Baobao: You know what, I actually had that idea!
At this moment, in the world of Tomb Raider Chronicles.

The four figures had just arrived.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, Chen Duo quietly pulled out the "Otherworld Food Safety Guarantee" and stuffed it into Poppy Ryusaka's mouth: "Destroy the evidence first." How similar this is to a child getting their summer homework bitten by a dog!

Wang Ye's lips twitched: "This isn't a good idea, after all, the Ruler of Life specifically appointed me to supervise you and Feng Baobao..."

Feng Baobao suddenly moved closer to Wang Ye, holding a shovel in her hand, and warned, "You didn't see anything, you know? Otherwise, I'll bury you!"

“Amitabha, a Taoist priest who lies will be struck by lightning, especially by the lightning of the Great Black Heaven. Given his petty nature, he might face a tribulation of lightning from the Nine Heavens.” Wang Ye said with difficulty.

At this moment, Chen Duo's eyes, filled with a threatening intent, were directed at them.

Wang Ye immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Of course, our ancestor also taught us that sometimes it is okay to tell lies that are well-intentioned."

Feng Baobao immediately gave Wang Ye a sensible look.

Zhang Chulan said helplessly from the side, "Sister Bao'er, and Sister Duo'er, are you two really going to have hot pot in this world?"

"The things in the Tomb Raider world are all pretty filthy. If I were to actually eat them... um, could you please not force me to eat them too!"

Zhang Chulan recalled the events of the past, his face showing grief and indignation.

Wang Ye's expression also turned ugly.

Who hasn't been victimized by these two women?
Even the legendary Taoist master Zhang Zhiwei was poisoned, let alone others.

Chen Duo smiled understandingly: "Okay, the baby and I will try our best."

Wang sighed, indicating that he had no other choice, and could only ask, "Where are we going for our first stop?"

Feng Baobao pulled out a map with the words "Hot Pot Guide" clearly written on it. Then, she pointed towards Qin Province and said, "Let's go here first!"

Zhu Jiuyin: Don't come any closer!
------

Meanwhile, in the Southern Heavenly Dao Space.

The ruler of life is currently cramming on the content related to the world of Tomb Raider, as for what she calls "cramming"...

Follow the drama!

She was seen comfortably lounging on the sofa, hugging a cushion, sipping a potato chip and a cola, muttering, "Waaah, Wu Xie and Xiao Ge are such a great couple!"

"Go for it, Wu Xie! You have to win over Xiao Ge!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Fan, who had arrived unnoticed, widened his eyes in surprise: "?!?!"

"Cough cough!"

Meng Fan cleared his throat, trying to attract the attention of the ruling class.

However, the ruler of life was completely absorbed in the plot and waved his hand without looking up: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, this is the crucial moment!"

Helpless, Meng Fan could only walk behind her and look at the screen. He saw Zhang Qiling protecting Wu Xie behind him, and the two were gazing at each other affectionately.

"life!!!!"

Meng Fan shouted angrily, startling the ruler of life, who quickly turned his head to look at him.

Suddenly, the ruler of life shrank to the same size as Paimon, covered his head, and pitifully said, "Great Heavenly Dao, please don't be angry. I was wrong, okay?"

Meng Fan sighed, "So your so-called 'world exploration' is just about shipping couples here?"

"Oh, this is called gaining a deep understanding of the relationships between people!" Life's Ruler said confidently. "Besides, didn't Wang Ye and the others go to conduct on-site investigations?"

As we were talking, a communication request suddenly popped up on the screen.

The screen opens.

The first thing that catches the eye is Wang Ye's ferocious face, as he is currently fighting with Poppy Ryuzaka for a section of bronze tree branch.

Wang Ye, panting heavily, stepped on Poppy Ryusaka's head and said, "I told you, this thing can't be eaten; it has to be handed over to the Heavenly Dao!"

Poppyuzaka: "Squeak squeak squeak!"

(Translation: I'll just eat a little bit. Anyway, the Demon King won't notice. Just one bite, but it's so delicious.)
Then, the image shifted.

But it would be better not to share it at all.

Behind Chen Duo and Feng Baobao was a huge snake corpse. The snake's head had only one eye, which was horizontally elongated. Its scales were jet black and had a strangely slippery feel.

Before the two was a huge bronze cauldron, bubbling with oil, and floating with chunks of meat of all sizes, clearly freshly cut from Zhu Jiuyin's body.

"So this is... rendering oil?" Meng Fan's face twisted in pain.

Zhu Jiuyin's body is extremely rich in oil; snake oil can even be used to make candles.

When Chen Duo and Feng Baobao saw Meng Fan was there, they immediately looked very guilty. Feng Baobao looked up with an innocent expression and said, "This snake jumped into the pot by itself."

Meng Fan: Do you think I believe you?

Chen Duo added, "We strictly abide by the Food Safety Guarantee Certificate, and these snakes were all raised voluntarily."

Meng Fan: Duo'er, you've gone astray too!

Zhang Chulan stood to the side, looking utterly hopeless, holding up a sign that read: "I was forced into this."

The ruler of life hurriedly shut down the communication and said with a dry laugh, "Um, I suddenly remembered that I have a meeting to attend."

Meng Fan grabbed her shoulder and gave her a kind smile: "Don't rush, let's talk this over properly. I'm going to punish you severely for your dereliction of duty."

The Governing Power of Life: "No!"

Meng Fan grabbed him: "Trying to escape? Too late!"

-----

The world of Tomb Raider Chronicles, within the ancient tombs of the Qinling Mountains.

Feng Baobao and Chen Duo breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the communication was cut off. Chen Duo watched quietly as Feng Baobao rendered the oil, then scooped out the cracklings and sprinkled them with salt and pepper.

"Try it, this fried dough stick is something Erzhuang taught me, it's really authentic."

Feng Baobao handed the golden and crispy fried pork cracklings to Chen Duo. The two squatted down next to the bronze cauldron and ate them with relish. They were beef flavored and delicious!
"What do we do with the oil that comes out during frying?"

Feng Baobao, hands on her hips, declared confidently: "We're serious about making hot pot broth and eating hot pot!"

"Wow!"

Chen Duo's eyes lit up.
