So delicious!
It was infinitely more delicious than the food Ye Fan made!
The mountain chicken scratched the ground a few times, revealing some crushed pills.
A voice kept calling in its mind.
Eat them!
Eat them!
Eat them!
...
Driven by instinct, the mountain chicken pecked at it.
The medicinal power instantly dissolved, and the mountain chicken felt a buzzing in its brain!
Holy crap!
This thing is quite potent!
Suppressing the urge to hoard the crushed pills on the ground, the mountain chicken buried its head in the nearby storage room.
Then, its vision went black, and it passed out.
Not long after, its body was enveloped in a faint blue light.
The blue light flickered a few times, then changed to red.
In the following time, the light on the mountain chicken's body kept changing color, and the frequency of change increased faster and faster...
Fortunately, the light was faint, and no one usually came to the storage room, so it didn't attract attention.
It wasn't until it was almost dawn that the mountain chicken slowly woke up.
"What happened to me..." The mountain chicken shook its head like it had a blackout, trying hard to recall what happened before: "I remember seeing Big Brother yesterday..."
After a long while, it finally sorted out its thoughts.
Right...
It was after eating those crushed pills that it fell asleep.
This stuff was delicious, but it was too potent...
Speaking of which, those human cultivators seemed to increase their cultivation by eating pills. I wonder what "Chicken Brother" will turn into?
Thinking of this, the mountain chicken quickly checked its demonic power.
It was a shock to see!
It had only been at the Foundation Establishment first or second layer before, but now it had jumped directly to the Golden Core fifth layer!
Hiss—!
"Chicken Brother" is already Golden Core?
Am I dreaming?!
Demonic beasts are basically invincible in a one-on-one fight against cultivators of the same level, but the price is that cultivation is more difficult than for humans!
To leap across a major realm was simply too dreamlike for the mountain chicken!
However, an increase in cultivation was ultimately a good thing, and the mountain chicken quickly accepted this fact.
Moreover, it realized an even more important issue.
This "Big Brother" of mine was far more powerful than it had imagined!
The pills he casually discarded could allow me to break through a major realm. If I follow him persistently in the future, wouldn't I still get benefits?!
Who knows, maybe one day he could create something for shapeshifting, and then I could achieve my lifelong wish?!
Thinking of the scene where I shapeshift and bring warmth to thousands of young girls in the future, the mountain chicken couldn't help but get excited!
As it got excited, the mountain chicken suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wait a minute, why does it feel a bit cool on the top of my head?
The mountain chicken instinctively reached out a wing and touched its head.
"Holy crap! Where's my comb?!"
A scream echoed in the storage room.
Then, the mountain chicken took out a mirror from its wings and quickly looked at it.
In the mirror, it saw a more majestic figure than before.
But the bright red comb that used to be on its head was now gone...
Not only was the comb gone, but a lot of the feathers around its head had also fallen out...
The mountain chicken felt like it had been struck by lightning and slumped to the ground.
It's gone...
"Chicken Brother's" proud comb is gone...
The comb is very important for a rooster.
The bigger and redder the comb, the more it can attract the attention of hens.
It's also a capital for roosters to show off amongst themselves.
The mountain chicken was very satisfied with its comb.
It was thanks to it that it had successfully established a large harem in the mountains back then.
But now, it was gone...
This blow was undoubtedly fatal to the mountain chicken!
It felt like its entire chicken life had lost its meaning...
...
After being stunned for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the mountain chicken finally reacted.
Wait, that's not right!
I used to be just an ordinary mountain chicken demon, so the comb was naturally very important.
But "Chicken Brother" is different now!
My goal now is thousands of young girls, and humans don't care about my comb!
In this regard, its absence seems like no big deal.
That's right, it's like this!
After figuring it out, the mountain chicken became spirited again!
The sky was about to brighten over Tianma Mountain, so I had to hurry to the entrance to welcome Big Brother and Big Sister!
My future happiness entirely depends on Big Brother and Big Sister!
After breakfast, Ye Fan and the little demon girl left the inn.
"..." The mountain chicken's new look shocked Ye Fan immensely: "What happened to you, you look like this?"
Ye Fan tried hard to suppress himself from laughing.
"Hahaha!" The little demon girl laughed unreservedly: "Did you go to some girl's place last night and get beaten up?"
"Good morning, Big Brother! Good morning, Big Sister!" The mountain chicken greeted them meticulously, then said awkwardly: "I fell while walking, I fell..."
This time, Ye Fan didn't take a taxi.
The map showed that the nearest auction house was not close, so taking a car was obviously not suitable.
Fortunately, Ge City was very user-friendly, and one could also take a 'flying taxi'.
The flying demonic beast was very stable.
The cool breeze on his face felt very comfortable.
The mountain chicken picked up a few pieces of demonic beast feathers and covered its head.
Its head was still feeling cool, and it wasn't used to it yet...
At noon, the group arrived at their destination.
If the exchange was like a roadside shop, then the auction house was like a large department store.
Both in terms of scale and prestige, it was clearly far beyond the previous exchange.
However, this time Ye Fan didn't leave after completing his mission. The staff said that a large auction would be held in seven days.
Ye Fan pondered that it might be a good idea to stay and try his luck.
Last time, it was the clue of the jade pendant obtained with Bu Que Gan at an auction. Perhaps there would be new discoveries this time?
It didn't matter if he stayed a few more days, he could just treat it as a break.
Corresponding to the high-class nature of the auction house was the layout of the nearby inns.
The inns they had stayed in before were just simple rooms, but near the auction house, there were residences with private courtyards.
As someone who wasn't short on money, Ye Fan naturally chose the more comfortable private courtyard.
Moreover, cooking in a private courtyard was much more convenient than in an inn room.
Before renting the house, Ye Fan first bought ingredients for lunch.
Passing by a fruit stall, Ye Fan also bought some fresh fruit.
With the kitchen in the private courtyard, Ye Fan really showed off his culinary skills.
A sumptuous lunch left the two of them and the chicken completely satisfied.
The weather was nice today, with plenty of sunshine but not scorching heat.
After eating, Ye Fan lay lazily on a lounge chair, basking in the sun.
He had been busy traveling recently and hadn't had such a leisurely time in a long time.
The little demon girl obediently peeled a grape and brought it to Ye Fan's mouth.
Ye Fan cursed himself for being so decadent and then happily ate the grape...
A moment later, the little demon girl peeled a banana and brought it to Ye Fan's mouth.
Ye Fan, who had opened his mouth halfway, stopped.
Because the banana actually moved...
The core of the banana kept twisting, looking like a super-sized grub...
The little demon girl was also stunned by this sight, looking at the wriggling banana with a blank expression.
"Hello," a voice came from the banana.
