As she was speaking, a strong fishy smell rushed up her throat and straight to the top of her head, making Huang Rong feel nauseous and vomiting.

The strange smell was not only pungent, but also carried an indescribable bitterness, causing her entire face to scrunch up.

"Don't vomit!" Chen Yanzhou quickly stopped her when he saw her dry heaving. "This stuff is priceless; vomiting it up would be a waste. Sit down quickly, calm your mind, and refine the medicinal power."

Huang Rong suppressed her nausea, took two deep breaths, sat cross-legged, and was about to close her eyes when she caught a glimpse of a roasted rabbit on the fire. Its golden and crispy skin was still sizzling with oil, and the aroma was wafting into her nose.

"Hey!" Huang Rong suddenly opened her eyes, staring at Chen Yanzhou warily. "You'd better leave me some rabbit meat! If you dare to sneak all of it while I'm practicing, I'll never forgive you!"

Chen Yanzhou rolled his eyes, twirling the branch in his hand, and said casually, "Do you think I'm that kind of person? Hurry up and practice yours."

"You're that kind of person!" Huang Rong muttered, still somewhat uneasy. She glanced at the fat rabbit with lingering reluctance before gritting her teeth, closing her eyes, and beginning to circulate the internal energy cultivation method of Peach Blossom Island.

As his breathing gradually calmed down, the hot current that had been surging wildly in his abdomen seemed to find an outlet, flowing slowly along his meridians.

Seeing that Huang Rong had entered a meditative state, Chen Yanzhou withdrew his gaze.

"Gurgle—"

A pitiful cry came from the side.

The eagle tilted its large head, its eyes fixed on the rabbit on the fire stand, the longing in its eyes almost overflowing. It leaned forward, its huge beak about to peck at the rabbit's leg.

Snapped!

Chen Yanzhou reacted quickly, slapping the eagle on the forehead and then stuffing the roasted rabbit into his arms.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Yanzhou said sternly, pointing at the eagle's bald head. "Have you forgotten our agreement? If you want to regain your virility, you'll have to give up this greasy and meaty food."

The divine eagle flapped its wings in dissatisfaction, letting out a low growl from its throat, as if protesting against animal cruelty.

"Protest denied." Chen Yanzhou pulled out a handful of freshly washed Qingxin fruit and some unknown wild fruit from the straw bag behind him and pushed them in front of Shen Diao. "Eat this. It clears heat and detoxifies, reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration. I specially found this for you."

Shen Diao looked down at the pile of red and green fruits, then at the greasy rabbit in Chen Yanzhou's arms, his eyes filled with the grief and indignation of being betrayed.

It poked at the few fruits with its beak, its disdain evident.

"Don't be picky about food," Chen Yanzhou said, picking up a piece of mashed herbal paste from the side. The paste was green and emitted a pungent herbal smell.

"Come here, let me apply the medicine."

Upon seeing the green mud, the Divine Eagle instinctively shrank back.

Chen Yanzhou didn't let it escape. He grabbed its wing with one hand and grabbed a handful of medicinal mud with the other, smearing it ruthlessly on the eagle's bald head.

"Bear with it, good medicine tastes bitter, and this external application is even more particular." Chen Yanzhou, like a clumsy bricklayer, evenly applied the medicinal mud to the eagle's head, neck, and the areas at the base of its wings where the feathers were severely falling off.

In a short while, the majestic eagle was painted into a green-haired monster.

The cooling sensation from the medicinal mud seemed to relieve the itching and burning on the skin. The eagle, which had been struggling, calmed down and squinted its eyes, looking quite pleased with itself. However, its appearance was really comical, and with its silly expression, it looked like a drowned rat that had just crawled out of a dye vat.

"Alright, go leave it to dry over there." Chen Yanzhou patted the crumbs off his hands, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction. "Remember to eat the fruit."

Helpless, the Divine Eagle could only pick up a Heart-Cleansing Fruit and swallow it as if it were chewing wax.

Having dealt with the sculptor and the person, Chen Yanzhou was finally able to enjoy his lunch.

He tore off a rabbit leg and took a bite.

Click.

The crispy skin crackles between your teeth, followed by the tender, juicy rabbit meat, bursting with the sweet aroma of honey and the fresh scent of wild onions.

"Um--"

Chen Yanzhou squinted his eyes in satisfaction. This wild rabbit had been running all year round, so its meat was firm and chewy, not dry at all. Combined with his special honey sauce, the taste was absolutely amazing.

He leaned against the stone wall, munching on a rabbit leg while basking in the sun, thoroughly enjoying himself.

The image of Hong Qigong's greasy old face involuntarily came to mind.

"I wonder how that old man is doing now."

On second thought, now that the Beggars' Sect's Righteous Transport Division has businesses all over the country, making a fortune every day, my master has no worries about food or drink, so he definitely won't die.

Chen Yanzhou shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He then took another bite of rabbit meat and casually tossed the bone aside.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Yanzhou lay down lazily, put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and hummed an unknown tune with a blade of grass in his mouth.

The sunlight felt warm and pleasant on my skin.

I don't know how much time passed.

Huang Rong slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, which had been somewhat tired, now shone brightly with a restrained yet powerful light.

She felt her body brimming with internal energy, and the warm current in her dantian flowed like a gentle stream into a vast ocean, deep and enduring.

Although it wasn't as abnormal as Chen Yanzhou's direct opening of the Ren and Du meridians, the medicinal power of this snake gall was enough to be equivalent to half a year of her usual arduous cultivation!

"This is good stuff..."

Huang Rong clenched her fist with delight, feeling the power flowing through her fingertips. If she were to encounter that giant snake again now, she could hold her own with her lightness skill and swordsmanship, even without Chen Yanzhou's intervention.

Once the excitement wore off, my stomach started growling at an inopportune moment.

"Gurgle—"

Huang Rong stood up and looked at her hand, her eyes eagerly searching for the roasted rabbit that haunted her dreams.

But Chen Yanzhou was lying there in the sun drying salted fish without any regard for his image, with a blade of grass in his mouth, looking quite content with his meal.

On the ground in front of him lay a pile of white bones.

Huang Rong stood there, stunned, as if struck by lightning.

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, took two more steps forward, and made sure she wasn't seeing things.

It's gone, really gone.

An indescribable sense of grievance welled up in my heart instantly.

"Chen Yanzhou!"

Huang Rong gritted her teeth in anger. This guy really does eat alone!

"You...you're not human!"

Huang Rong stomped her feet in anger, pointing at the pile of bones on the ground, her voice full of grievance, "You promised to leave them for me! How could you eat them all!"

Hearing the noise, Chen Yanzhou lazily opened his eyes and saw that the girl's face was puffed up like a bun with tears welling up in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment. He couldn't help but laugh.

He slowly sat up, patted his round belly, and let out a burp: "Burp—it really tasted good, I couldn't resist and ate a few more bites."

"You still dare to talk back!" Huang Rong was furious and rushed over to grab his collar. "You owe me my rabbit! You owe me my rabbit!"

Chen Yanzhou raised his long arm and pressed it against Huang Rong's head, preventing her from advancing an inch.

He saw that the time was right; if he teased her any longer, she would probably really lose her temper, and if she went on strike and refused to work, he would have to take care of her.

"Alright, alright, stop wailing. How could I possibly forget you?"

As he spoke, he lifted the leaves beside him and picked up the remaining half of the roasted rabbit.

When Huang Rong saw the rabbit meat, a smile immediately appeared on her face. With quick eyes and hands, she snatched it away, and at the same time, she raised her small face and gave him a light snort.

Seeing this, Chen Yanzhou looked to the side speechlessly, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

"Stinky!"
