Chapter 902: The Pride of a Sword Cultivator?

“There’s hope? What are two of you talking about?”

Huang Long looked at the two mountain lords strangely, not understanding what they tried to say.

“You don’t have to care about that. All you need to know is that there’s an existence that you wouldn’t even dare to imagine.”

The mountain lord waved his hand, hesitating for a moment before he said, “Should we… give it a try?”

The vice lord nodded, “Yes, let’s try our luck. It’s great if we succeed. If we don’t, then it’s just fate.”

They did not explain anything to Huang Long before bringing it up to the Ancient Forbidden Area.

However, they stopped the Heavenly Palace’s soldiers before they even reached the foot of Fallen Immortal Mountain. After they reported who they were, they had to wait for Yang Jian to arrive and verify who they were.

The moment they found out that the expert had a barbeque, Yang Jian immediately brought a group of Heavenly Soldiers to guard the area nearby to stop any idiots from disturbing the expert’s excitement. He was surprised to see the two lords there, but his expression turned serious when he saw Huang Long.

The third eye on his forward could see the gray mist fluctuations within Huang Long’s body. He immediately said with a frown, “This person has been infected by the gray mist. Did you bring him here to be killed?”

“No, it’s not like that. Cultivator Yang Jian, this is what happened…” The vice lord hurriedly explained what happened.

“So, that’s what it is! The expert has a way to help with the gray mist. Lord Dog was cured by a single rabies shot last time, but you can’t disturb the expert for this person!”

Yang Jian rejected it decisively. In the first place, even if it were him himself facing death, he would not have dared to ask the expert for help, let alone Huang Long, who he did not know.

The mountain lord said helplessly, “We know that too. We’re just trying our luck.”

Yang Jian let out a stern reminder, “The expert is having a barbeque. We’re only allowed to stay at the foot of the hill at most. We can’t go further than that, understood?”

The mountain lords hurriedly said, “Cultivator Yang Jian, don’t worry. We understand.”

Huang Long was stunned by their humble attitudes, not believing the sight in front of him.

Sword cultivators were all arrogant. They would never bow down to anyone, especially the two lords of the Divine Sword Mountain. They were at the peak of swordsmanship and without any peers. He knew the two of them well. Their hearts were incredibly firm, and they never submitted.

So what did he look at?

If not for the fact that he knew the two of them in front of him were the real deals, he would be wondering if they were possessed.

Huang Long could no longer stand it and asked quietly, “What’s wrong with the two of you? Where’s your pride? Who’s he to be worth you acting so humble?”

The mountain lord did not mind at all as he said, “What do you know? Speak less and don’t offend the expert.”

Coward!

Huang Long cursed in his heart.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, which had his expression suddenly calm down. A tear even fell from his eye.

He choked, “I understand. You’re acting so humbly because you want the other party to save me. There’s no need for that. I will die if I must, but you can’t sacrifice your resolve for me!

The vice lord looked at Huang Long with disdain, “You don’t know anything, so stop acting like you do! The expert is currently having a barbeque on the mountain top. We’re merely siding characters here. It’s already very fortunate that we’re able to be here. What’s wrong with being humble? If I can become an insider by licking anyone’s boots, I’d do it instantly.”

Boom!

His words were like a crack of lightning that struck right at Huang Long.

A barbeque?

Is that not just having some fun?

Someone else was having fun, and the two of them waited at the foot of the mountain as some honor?

Where was the pride of a sword cultivator? Where was their nobility?

Also…

Side characters?

Licking boots?

They managed to say that?

“Absurd! When did you two become so self-deprecating?”

Huang Long shook as he spoke, and was filled with a sense of indignation.

The two lords completely ignored him.

At the same time, Li Nianfan’s food was almost ready.

Skewers and skewers of meat were put on the grill, letting out a sizzling sound. The smoke filled the air, and the accompanying smell caused their appetites to rise.

The red meat had a glistening layer of fat on it. With a bit of spices added on, the meat was ready!

Daji put a skewer next to Li Nianfan’s mouth, “Try some of my food.”

Li Nianfan was still cutting meat, and could not use his hands.

He opened his mouth and praised after a bite, “The outside is crispy and the inside is tender. The quality of the meat is soft and tender. The meat is accompanied by spice. It’s a deep sense of enjoyment. The taste even lingers on my teeth. If I’m not mistaken, this should be the bear meat.”

“You’re amazing. Come, try this one,” Daji took out another skewer.

“The meat is tough and incredibly chewy. It just needs a bit more heat to it. This should be the tiger meat?”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “You’re improving quickly. You can already be considered good chefs.”

Daji and Qin Manyun said at the same time, “It’s all because you’ve taught us well.”

Nanan, Dragon, and Little Fox all had their heads buried in the food. Their mouths were filled with food and they were incredibly happy.

“Wow wow wow, this Black Tiger wing is so tasty. No wonder people talk about flying tigers, they taste so good.”

“This bear paw is even better. I love bear paws the most. They taste so good!”

“I’m having so much fun. We haven’t had a feast like this for so long, but as opposed to barbeque, I want some fried food. Brother-in-law, can we have some fried food?

Little Fox grabbed skewer after skewer of meat. She was so pretty, but she did not act like a girl at all. She kept on mumbling as she ate.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Of course, you can. You can pour some oil into the pot yourself and have your sister help you fry them.”

Dragin saw that Li Nianfan was still busy, so she said curiously, “Big brother we’ve already prepared so much, so why are you still cutting the meat. We won’t be able to finish if there’s too much.”

“This isn’t all for us. Someone else gave us all this meat. We can’t just have it ourselves. We should give it around for others as well.”

Li Nianfan said after some pause, “Xiao Bai, remember to pack up some meat and send it to the person who gave this to us. That’s right, how’s the turtle soup coming along?”

“Yes, master. The turtle soup is almost done. I’ll get the bowls and serve everyone,” As Xiao Bai said that, he went to get some bowls.

Once the pot was opened, everyone looked over curiously before they all collectively “ooh-ed”.

Since the turtle was really big, they used a large pot as well. The moment the pot was opened the gigantic turtle shell floated amongst all the white soup. It had an amazing smell.
