Chapter 139: A Feast of Gluttony!!!
The third floor was already the highest level of the manor.
After arriving here, the first thing in sight was emptiness.
The entire third floor had no partitions, offering an unobstructed view.
It was furnished with simple and elegant decorations, like a grand hall, and also like a personal living space.
Chen Sisi held onto Li Xiang without landing on the ground, instead raising a hand to summon a Little Demons.
As soon as the Little Demons landed on the ground, it began to melt.
-20000
-20000
-20000
...
A few seconds later, the Little Demons, body and bones included, vanished completely, turning into a puddle of pus on the ground.
Afterward, the pus also disappeared amidst the swirling mist.
A trace of lingering fear appeared in Chen Sisi's eyes. She tilted her head and saw Li Xiang staring blankly at the mist on the ground, lost in thought.
"Are You scared now... Your life is in my hands. If I let go, You will die, meeting the same fate as that Little Demons just now."
Li Xiang looked up at Chen Sisi. "Your magic power should also be limited, right? Flying constantly is very draining. I have some blue bottles here, do You want to drink a few?"
Saying this, Li Xiang took out a few bottles of mana recovery potions. These were dropped from killing monsters and restored mana by percentage.
Chen Sisi was stunned.
Since entering here until now, she had indeed consumed a large amount of magic power. Less than half of her total magic power remained, and it was still being continuously consumed.
She could tell at a glance that these potions were extraordinary. Potions that restored mana by percentage were extremely precious.
This ant...
Although his mouth is rude, he is quite thoughtful...
Taking the mana recovery potion, Chen Sisi drank a bottle. Her magic power instantly refilled, and a surge of fighting spirit appeared in her eyes.
【Ding! 'Demon Clan Priest - Chen Sisi' Favorability +5, Current Value: -55】
Li Xiang's eyelid twitched when he saw this notification.
He was just afraid that Chen Sisi would run out of magic power and drop him. He didn't expect a few bottles of potions could increase favorability.
Could it be that she likes drinking potions?
Then if I give her more, won't I just win her over?!
As Li Xiang pondered, the surrounding space suddenly became abnormal.
Large amounts of black mist spread over, and at the same time, objects began to appear within it.
"What is that?!"
Soon, Li Xiang discovered that these things were actually a long dining table, filled with all sorts of food.
At the head of the dining table, a faint figure appeared.
Chen Sisi whispered, "He is here... Remember what I just said."
Li Xiang immediately nodded, while also looking at the figure at the head of the table.
Check attributes!
【Ding! The target has rejected Your probe.】
Seeing this system notification, Li Xiang was dumbfounded.
Holy crap?!!!
What the hell is going on?
Even if it was all question marks, that would be fine, but You just outright rejected it...
This...
Li Xiang didn't know what to say anymore.
Suddenly, an ethereal voice appeared.
"Human... presumptuously probing an unknown existence is a great disrespect..."
With the appearance of this voice.
Li Xiang felt as if he had been struck by a Heavy Blow.
A huge damage value popped up from Li Xiang.
-500000
A damage value of up to five hundred thousand appeared!!!
Li Xiang's health bar instantly decreased by half!!!
Chen Sisi watched Li Xiang lose only half of his health under this high damage, her eyes flickering slightly.
This Human actually has over a million health...
Is he... really a Human?!
How could a Human possibly have such high health?!!
However, despite her doubts, Chen Sisi respectfully spoke towards the phantom in the black mist, "Senior, this junior, Demon Clan Priest - Chen Sisi, has come to seek an audience!"
Within the black mist, the phantom moved slightly upon hearing Chen Sisi's words. The black mist also trembled with him. After a moment, the phantom slowly spoke.
"Demon Clan... Priest..."
"Who sent You?"
This time, Li Xiang heard clearly. The voice revealed vicissitudes and depth, as if integrating endless years into its sound. Just by listening to this voice, one could sense that this was an existence with infinite knowledge.
Chen Sisi slightly raised her head and looked directly into the black mist. Her gaze seemed to penetrate the black mist and see the phantom within. "The High Priest sent this junior here."
"High... Priest..."
"Did that fellow Wei Pingping send You?"
Chen Sisi shook her head. "Priest Wei passed away ten years ago. The current High Priest is Priest Rao Cai."
"Rao Cai?"
The phantom seemed a little puzzled.
The next moment, all the black mist dispersed completely.
Revealing the long dining table filled with food, and a tall man wearing black clothes with two horns on his head at the head of the table.
His eyes were blood-red, and each eye had two pupils.
As his gaze moved, the two pupils seemed to have their own consciousness, constantly moving and observing everything around him.
【Ding! Upon making eye contact with an unknown existence, You are subjected to immense pressure, all attributes weakened by 30%. Please leave quickly.】
The sudden system notification stunned Li Xiang.
Holy crap...
What level of BOSS is this?!
Just looking at him can reduce my attributes by 30%!!!
Li Xiang immediately looked away. After a while, his attributes returned to normal.
"I remember now... Rao Cai... that little girl... very shy, hiding behind Wei Pingping, not daring to look at me..."
Saying this, the man laughed.
When he laughed, Li Xiang felt uncomfortable.
【Ding! Subjected to unknown attack.】
-100000
-100000
...
Li Xiang's mouth twitched, and he immediately activated the Magic War Shield.
What the heck...
What kind of terrifying BOSS is this? His laughter alone can cause such powerful damage.
Li Xiang strongly suspected that the target of the plot kill was himself.
At the rate these two were talking, he probably wouldn't even survive until the conversation ended.
The Demon Clan man fell into reminiscence, and the scene entered a brief silence. Li Xiang, held by Chen Sisi, had nothing to do and examined the food on the dining table.
【Purple Extreme Eastern Bamboo Stewed Sky Python: After consumption, Spirit +42, Wisdom +21】
【West Sea Black Tortoise Soup: After consumption, Constitution +43】
【Steamed Demonic Bear Paw: After consumption, Strength +77】
...
Li Xiang even wondered if he had misread.
What the heck...
What kind of feast of gluttony is this!!!
If I eat a meal like this, my attributes will soar!!!
It would be defying the heavens, alright!!!
"Young man... do You want to eat this food?"
Suddenly, the Demon Clan man's voice came out.
Li Xiang nodded without thinking.
Opportunities to increase attributes are rare.
Dying just means returning to the city.
Any player would know how to make the right choice at this moment.
Chen Sisi's expression, however, changed, and she urgently whispered, "Ant!!! I told You not to make a sound!"
"Sit down, You two."
Hearing the Demon Clan man's words, Chen Sisi was startled for a moment, then immediately said respectfully, "Thank You, Senior."
Then, she brought Li Xiang down to the ground.
The moment they landed.
Dense damage values popped up from Li Xiang.
【Ding! Subjected to mysterious power erosion.】
-100000
-100000
-100000
...
At the same time, damage values of 100,000 were constantly appearing above Chen Sisi's head.
Both of their expressions changed instantly.
Chen Sisi immediately prepared to take Li Xiang and fly up, but found that she couldn't move at all, as if a pair of large hands were pressing them down onto the chairs.
Damage values were still appearing...
The Demon Clan man spoke faintly, "I made all of these myself. Not many people in this World can eat them. You are fortunate..."
The blood on the ground is what splashed when I accidentally butchered the Poison Sky Python. It has a bit of toxicity. If You can't even withstand this bit of poison, You aren't even qualified to sit at the table..."
