"Ah!"
Upon hearing those words, the green-haired elder became even more frantic, disregarding the bleeding wounds on his body as he attacked the light screen with increased frenzy.
"How pitiful."
Chu Chen looked at the green-haired elder with pity, picked up a piece of roasted snake meat, and asked, "Do you want some? It's freshly cooked."
"Pfft!"
The green-haired elder spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell from the sky.
Already severely injured, compounded by fury and desperation, he fainted as he couldn't catch his breath.
"He's gone? Looks like he doesn't want any then."
Chu Chen shook his head, turned to Long Yufei, and asked, "Auntie, do you want some?"
"I just ate my fill, so I'll pass,"
Long Yufei said with a smile, waving her hand.
Although the meat smelled delicious, the thought of eating snake was something she just couldn't stomach.
Chu Chen's gaze swept over the other female guards; before he could even speak, all the female guards simultaneously shook their heads and waved their hands, almost in unison: "We're full, thank you."
"What a pity."
Chu Chen pouted and handed the snake meat to Chu Xin, saying, "Sis, eat it quickly before it gets cold."
"Okay!"
Chu Xin didn't hesitate, taking the snake meat and biting into it immediately, her round eyes squinting happily as she vigorously nodded, "Wow! So delicious. I knew this big snake would be tasty. Humph, Dad always forbids us from eating snake meat. That's just mean."
"Is it really that good? May I try some?"
The old woman landed on the Flying Boat, her face breaking into a kind and gentle smile.
"Of course, Granny, here you go,"
Chu Chen handed a freshly cooked piece of snake meat to the old woman and then continued to roast more meat.
The old woman took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up; the roasted meat indeed tasted very good.
"Master, how's that guy doing?"
Long Yufei came over and asked in a low voice.
"He's dead!" the old woman said flatly.
The moment the green-haired elder fell, she had already unleashed thousands of Sword Qi that pierced him full of holes, ensuring he was dead beyond any doubt.
"That's great."
A smile appeared on Long Yufei's face; the green-haired elder had been one of the biggest obstacles to her taking office in the State Mansion, and his death provided her great relief.
Looking at Chu Chen, who was focused on roasting meat, and Chu Xin, who was focused on eating it, the old woman whispered, "These siblings must get along well; it will benefit us in the future."
If it were not for the siblings' help this time, she alone would never have been able to kill that Elder from the Myriad Beasts Sect; maintaining an unbeaten status would have already been an achievement.
"Mhm!"
Long Yufei nodded. These siblings were strong and had many treasures.
Who exactly were these formidable children?
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Compared to these two children, she was actually more interested in their strong father who provided everything for them.
If they could get their father to join the royal camp, her sister's situation would no longer be so difficult.
"Let's go, who knows which old timer is waiting for us up ahead."
The old woman ate the roasted meat and directed True Qi, steering the Flying Boat away.
"Mhm!"
A solemn expression emerged on Long Yufei's face.
Since those guys did not want her to take her position in the State Mansion, they surely didn't just rely on the Martial Saint from the Myriad Beasts Sect; the road ahead was still not easy.
"Granny, do you want more?"
Chu Chen asked in a sweet voice.
"Yes, I have never tasted such delicious roasted meat in all my long years."
The old woman laughed and said, "Those words aren't just to flatter the two cute kids; they come straight from the heart."
However, when she turned to look at the two kids, she was instantly stunned.
Half of the snake meat on the grill had already disappeared.
"Grandma, this is for you."
Chu Xin picked up a piece of cooked snake meat and handed it to the old woman, not forgetting to lick her own greasy little fingers.
"You've already eaten half?"
The old woman, holding the snake meat, asked incredulously.
"Yeah."
Chu Xin nodded her little head and returned to her spot, focusing on eating the meat.
You could see her greasy little mouth take a bite, exhaling hot air while continually chewing. Moments later, she took another bite, quickly finishing a foot-long piece of snake meat.
The speed of her eating left the old woman in the dust.
She just couldn't understand how that tiny belly could fit so much snake meat.
Long Yufei smiled and said, "Master, these two little ones can really eat. They even ate up a few dozen Blood Wolves."
The old woman was dumbfounded. All those dozens of Blood Wolves gone?
She couldn't even manage one Blood Wolf; how did these small kids do it?
She shook her head, turned back, and continued eating the grilled meat, increasing the power to drive the Flying Boat.
She had been injured before and didn't dare to drive at full power. Now that they had dealt with a strong enemy and the snake poison was cured, she could drive at full power, increasing the speed of the Flying Boat by more than ten times.
Long Yufei looked at the old woman, then glanced over at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes. Is snake meat really that delicious? Should I try it as well?
Chu Xin seemed to notice Long Yufei's desire and picked up a piece of grilled meat, saying, "Auntie, have some, it's really tasty. And this big snake has more energy in it than those big dogs."
Long Yufei's eyes lit up. Of course, this is a Seventh Rank Demon Beast. The energy contained in its meat must be substantial.
Whether it's a Demon Beast or a Fierce Beast, their meat contains certain energy, and consuming powerful Demon and Fierce Beasts can benefit cultivators.
Of course, the energy contained in the body of a Demon Beast couldn't compare to Fierce Beasts that specialize in bodily strength. However, a Seventh Rank Demon Beast also wasn't lacking in contained energy.
Thinking this, Long Yufei hesitated for a moment before deciding to give it a try.
She sniffed it, detected no weird smells, bit into it, paused for a second, and then began devouring it enthusiastically.
Seeing that the State Governor had started eating heartily, her female guards also joined in on eating the grilled meat.
"Wow! Snake meat really is delicious."
Once they started, they couldn't stop.
"The Dominating Sword Sect has been awaiting the State Governor for a long time."
Just then, a loud voice came from ahead, carrying a terrifying Sword Intent as if it could rip everything apart.
Everyone looked up, only to see a burly man standing with his hands behind his back, suspending in mid-air.
"Dominating Sword Sect's Great Elder, Qin Feng."
Seeing the newcomer, the old woman's eyes narrowed, and the Flying Boat came to a stop.
Although she was a Martial Saint like the previous beast, the man in front of her was even stronger.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen leaned on the Flying Boat's railing, standing on tiptoes to look at the man.
"No meat to roast this time," Chu Chen scratched his head.
"No meat to eat this time," Chu Xin pouted.
The disappointment in the two cute kids' voices was unmistakable.
"So it's Deputy Pavilion Master Long of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion."
The man didn't even notice Chu Xin and Chu Chen, just glancing at the old woman, his tone still indifferent, clearly not considering the old woman a threat.
The old woman spoke sternly, "In the past, the old Sect Master of the Dominating Sword Sect and our Heavenly Sword Pavilion's old Pavilion Master practiced and discussed the sword together, sharing a deep relationship. So now, does your Dominating Sword Sect also intend to obstruct the State Governor? Are you aware of the new State Governor's identity?"
Qin Feng calmly replied, "Of course, I know."
The old woman sharply questioned, "If you know, then how dare you come to obstruct? Aren't you afraid of your sect being destroyed?"
Qin Feng smiled lightly, "Deputy Pavilion Master Long, I have already been expelled from the Dominating Sword Sect, no longer the Great Elder of the Dominating Sword Sect. My actions are solely my own. Besides, with the Jiuzhou royal family hardly able to keep themselves afloat, do they still have the resources to come to Lanzhou?"
