Chapter 28 Instinct: You Are Really Hungry
Xiao, also known as [Golden Roc], is the old friend mentioned by Zhongli.
A three-eyed and five-manifested immortal of Liyue, one of the five most brave and warlike [Immortal Yakshas] of the Yakshas clan under the command of the Rock King Emperor.
Although he looks like a teenager, his real age has long exceeded two thousand years.
Dangerous, taciturn, and good at killing.
Among the immortals of Liyue, Xiao's seniority and reputation are both outstanding.
About three thousand years ago, Teyvat had a thousand-year-long period of chaos. Under the witness of Sky Island, the demons fought and formed alliances with each other, leading the people they protected to fight each other to determine the final seven winners.
These are the original seven gods.
During the Demon War, even the demons died, not to mention the humans who followed these demons.
When the war ended and humans were about to recuperate and lick their wounds, they found that the places where the demons fell had long been infected by the hatred and obsession of the demons, and bred countless filth.
The power of the demons is enormous. Even the evil creatures that grow in the wreckage are quite dangerous to fragile humans. What's more deadly is that if anyone kills these evil creatures, the hatred of the demons will turn into fragments and pollute the spirit of the killer.
——To eliminate this hatred, you must bear their [karma].
Xiao was once enslaved by the evil gods and suffered hardships until he met the Rock King Emperor, and then he was able to regain his freedom. In order to repay his kindness, he took on the hard labor of guarding Liyue and fought with the remnants of the demons. The [karma] accumulated over the years was enough to burn the heart and erode the bones.
This is how Chen Tianfeng described Xiao in the plot.
It is precisely because he knew that he was surprised by what Zhongli asked him to do - Mr. Zhongli doesn't want to act anymore?
In any case, those who can sit and prescribe medicine for immortals are at least immortals, right?
A few days ago, you said that you were an ordinary person who was not good at fighting. In the blink of an eye, you became an immortal?
That's not right. Maybe Zhongli thought that since he didn't know Xiao's identity, Xiao wouldn't show an unusual side in front of him.
Chen Tianfeng blinked, feeling that the thoughts of gods were indeed beyond human's comprehension.
"Reminder?"
Zhongli seemed to think for a few seconds, and warned: "The power of this medicine is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear. Be careful, don't take it by mistake."
Who would take medicine for no reason? Is this what I'm asking? !
Chen Tianfeng's eyes twitched, and he wanted to ask something else, but he felt that he couldn't ask anything.
Zhongli wanted to pretend to be confused, and probably no one could ask the answer.
Anyway, it shouldn't be a bad thing... Chen Tianfeng sighed in his heart and pretended to be confused with Zhongli: "I've made a note of it. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhongli, I will definitely deliver it."
"Thank you, my friend."
Zhongli walked steadily and spoke in a calm tone: "My old friend is called [Xiao]. You can call his name at the highest point of Wangshu Inn, and he will appear at that time."
Chen Tianfeng silently discarded the guess that "Zhongli thought he didn't know". He looked calm, without pretending to be surprised, or sighing that Mr. Zhongli's old friend was really extraordinary. He just nodded and said, "I've made a note of it."
Zhongli glanced at Chen Tianfeng who didn't ask anything, and a smile of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Haha, he really knows a lot of things, and he thinks he knows that he knows.
Chen Tianfeng didn't expect that the Rock King Emperor would cheat, and he still followed him, ignoring the destination. Just walking, while sinking his mind, feeling the circulation of the gray-white airflow in his body.
All the acupoint stars have been lit up, and only the last one is still slightly dim.
Chen Tianfeng did not interfere, but waited quietly, waiting for the final result.
Maybe it was the next second, maybe it was a few minutes, the gray-white airflow stagnated for a moment, and the brightness of all the acupoint stars reached unity, blooming with unprecedented pure white light.
The light gradually condensed and turned into liquid, rushing like a flood, roaring into the meridian river, and launched a fierce attack on the "slow" gray-white airflow!
Chen Tianfeng stopped, and many insights naturally emerged in his heart, just like the blood inheritance set in the novel of the original world, and he gained many "skills" in an instant.
At the same time, the instinct that had been vague finally became clear.
Chen Tianfeng "heard" the call of the instinct, it shouted eagerly, and urgently expressed its desire to Chen Tianfeng.
It said: Energy! Energy! ! Energy! ! !
"···?"
Chen Tianfeng's face twitched, and he felt very complicated in his heart.
It's like a person who feels unwell and runs to the hospital to ask for help from a doctor. After a series of examinations and efforts, he finally finds the reason - he is too hungry, he is really hungry.
God damn hungry!!!
This instinct is really not reliable at all! ?
Chen Tianfeng took a deep breath, ignored the strong "hunger", and looked at Zhongli with an apologetic look: "Sorry, Mr. Zhongli, I was distracted."
"It's okay, and congratulations to you for your breakthrough."
Zhongli's tone was gentle, and he motioned Chen Tianfeng to look forward: "We are here."
"Are we here?"
Chen Tianfeng was stunned, looked forward, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Ye Lan?
What's going on?
"Thank you Mr. Zhongli for your help."
Ye Lan nodded to Zhongli, and smiled in Chen Tianfeng's astonished eyes: "Please tell Master Hu that I will let my brothers order funeral packages from the Hall of Rebirth as we agreed."
"Miss Ye Lan, you are polite."
"No! Wait!! What's going on?!"
Chen Tianfeng's eyes widened, he looked at Ye Lan, then at Zhong Li, his eyes full of disbelief: "You sold me out?!"
"My friend, you misunderstood." Zhong Li shook his head and explained patiently: "The hall master sold me."
"···Is there any difference?!"
"Yes, there is."
Zhong Li seemed to smile and said: "My friend, don't worry, Miss Ye Lan promised that she would not hurt you."
"Yes, I promised the hall master Hu and Mr. Zhong Li." Ye Lan finally looked at Chen Tianfeng, her smile was very gentle: "How could I hurt you? You are the husband of the village that I almost kidnapped, right, brother Chen?"
Chen Tianfeng: "···"
You don't have to bear grudges like this!
"Oh? So you two have this kind of relationship? Haha, then I won't bother you two." Zhong Li seemed surprised, so he said goodbye politely.
Did you not hear that she said "kidnapped" at all? !
Mr. Zhong Li is really a master at pretending to be confused! Bastard!!!
Chen Tianfeng's eyes twitched, and he forced a smile: "Miss Ye Lan, what's the matter with you looking for me?"
"Brother Chen, given our relationship, why do you have to say such unfamiliar words?" Ye Lan smiled: "If there is nothing wrong, can't I look for Brother Chen?"
"···Miss Ye Lan is happy."
