Volume 1 Chapter 6: Carefree Barbecue

  Smoke wafts, meat fragrance wafts, accompanied by the afterglow of sunset. Fang Ruo is on one side adding dry firewood to the bonfire, while on the other side flipping and roasting a piece of game meat skewered on a short sword under the moonlight. The meat has already been roasted to a golden yellow color, and with the brilliant sunset, it's not bad as a unique scenery.

  For wilderness survival, Feng Ruo was already familiar with it. After all, more than a decade of military career wasn't mixed up. Unfortunately, the scenery of Qingyun Mountain is good, but various seasonings and salt are hard to come by, so he can only make do with it. It's always better than that terrible rice cake.

  "Hmm, hmm! This life isn't so bad after all!" Feng Yu thought to himself with relish as he sniffed the aroma wafting through the air. Just as he was about to savor his carefully prepared meal, a massive black shadow suddenly appeared above him, accompanied by a howling gust of wind.

  Feng Ruo was startled and almost dropped the roasted meat from the Mapping Moon dagger into the fire pit. When he looked up to see the black shadow clearly, his heart began to secretly lament.

  That black shadow was a silver giant eagle with wings spread out about three meters, and on the giant eagle was a blue-clothed girl with clear eyebrows and white skin, her age similar to Kong Fei's, also at the middle stage of Qi refining.

  Unlike Kong Fei, however, this blue-clad girl had an aura that made people dare not gaze at her directly. Added to that was the Lingyun suit that seemed to emanate a faint blue glow, as well as the Three Supreme Sword on her back that exuded a murderous aura, all of which made one feel that she was different from the others.

  Of course, Feng Ruo also had to admit that the biggest pressure on him was the silver-haired eagle under the blue-clothed girl, which was a genuine combat spirit bird, a third-level spirit beast that even the richest merchant Qu Yun couldn't afford.

  The gap between a combat spirit bird and a mount spirit bird can only be described as enormous, like that white-feathered crane, which can only be considered a first-class spiritual beast, apart from being able to carry one person in flight, it can't do anything else, if encountered with danger, it may even abandon its master and escape.

  However, the combat spirit birds are different. They are usually above level three spirit beasts, strong and powerful, extremely ferocious, can carry two people at the same time, and their flying speed is far beyond that of the White Crane. More importantly, when encountering an enemy, the combat spirit bird can accompany its master and fight side by side!

  This blue-robed girl, Feng Ruoxian, was naturally recognizable to him. She was also a third-generation disciple of the Qingyun Sect, but her status was far higher than that of Kong Fei and others. Not only was she one of the few geniuses among the third-generation disciples of the Qingyun Sect, but she was also a core disciple of the sect, and it was said that she would soon enter the late stage of Qi Refining.

  It just so happens that this blue-clothed girl is also one of the three great bullies among the third generation disciples of Qingyun Sect, and Kong Fei had long warned him with enthusiasm: if possible, try not to provoke these three people, and if you accidentally bump into them, then good luck to you!

  Never thought that one of these three big bullies would visit his humble abode.

  "What are you doing?" After a moment of silence, the blue-clothed girl glanced at the roasted meat in Feng Ru's hand and asked strangely.

  "I-I'm just eating barbecue!" Fang Ruo's eyes rolled around, and in the end, he decided to tell the truth. In his opinion, he didn't have any valuable items like a five-element stone or good sword equipment. The only thing he had on him was the Reflecting Moon dagger, which probably wouldn't even catch the other person's eye. So even if he got robbed, there wasn't anything worth stealing.

  "Huh? That thing - can it be eaten?" The big eyes of the blue-clothed girl seemed to light up, unfortunately Feng Ru did not see it.

  "Hmm, edible! And delicious!" Feng Ruo said with a smile, he naturally didn't think that a clean and noble little girl would fight with him, a dirty guy, for roasted meat. So it's better to get rid of her first, otherwise the roasted meat will cool down and the taste will be much worse later.

  "Ah!" The blue-clothed girl nodded, and her small hand gently patted the silver eagle. In an instant, the eagle disappeared without a trace, just like air. As for this scene, Feng Ruo didn't show much surprise. He had already understood the secret behind it. This was simply putting the tamed spirit bird into the seal ring, which was convenient and allowed the spirit bird to rest well. However, the seal ring that could hold the silver eagle must have been very expensive. And why did this little girl satisfy her curiosity but not leave?

  Lightly floating down from several meters high in the air, the blue-clothed girl directly appeared in front of Feng Ru who was still somewhat dazed, and bluntly pointed at the roasted meat saying: "Give it to me!"

  Before Feng Ruofei could react, the piece of meat on the short sword was already golden brown and emitting a fragrant aroma. The blue-clothed girl then snatched it away with a small, delicate dagger and sat down on a rock opposite Feng Ruofei. She carefully examined the roasted meat for a moment before calmly taking small bites of it.

  Witnessing this scene, Feng Ruo's heart was filled with tears. What is going on? Is this robbery? How can things change so quickly? Those were the carefully roasted ones he made to comfort himself!

  However, the blue-clothed girl didn't care about Feng Ruoyu's resentful gaze at all. She was holding that piece of roasted meat and eating it with great relish. Before long, her two small hands had already become oily.

  "Mmm! Delicious! I want more tomorrow!" The blue-clothed girl wiped her mouth with a satisfied expression, and then her hands moved slightly. A faint blue light flashed by, and under Feng Ru's stunned gaze, a medium-sized water ball suddenly appeared out of thin air. It didn't disappear until the blue-clothed girl washed off the greasiness on her hands.

  "This——this is——a spell?" Feng Ruo's mind was shocked as he thought, having come to Qingyun Mountain for nearly half a year, he had not seen real magic before, only heard Kong Fei mention this kind of divine art with extremely powerful destructive power. It is said that within 100 meters, this spell can ignore distance and does not need to aim, it can give the opponent heavy damage. Unfortunately, even Kong Fei himself has not learned a spell, because to practice magic, one must have enough magical power, usually only after reaching the late stage of Qi Refining can one learn the most basic spell.

  It was precisely because of this that in Feng Ru's imagination, this magic was absolutely mysterious, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how the magic could be like an archer, pointing and shooting wherever he wanted.

  The blue-clothed girl, however, didn't notice the somewhat dazed Feng Ru, clapped her hands and summoned that silver-colored eagle, disappearing into the vast night in an instant.

  It wasn't until a long time later that Feng Ruo finally came back to her senses, jumping up and down in pain as she loudly exclaimed: "Hey! You still haven't given me a recommendation ticket!"
