Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 The Temptation of Food

  Chen Guan still did not find the cave today. He did encounter two fire foxes, but unfortunately neither of them was the one from yesterday.

  After eating and drinking, Chen Guan collected the two fire fox magic cores on the ground. He had one more reason to kill the fire fox. Other monsters did not have such a high explosion rate.

  Without bothering other monsters, Chen Guan went straight to the area where the Red Ice Snake King was.

  Just as he could remember the breath of the fire fox, the Red Ice Snake King could also recognize his breath. There was no need for Chen Guan to look for it. As soon as he arrived, he took the initiative to kill out of the dense forest, vowing to wash away the shame of yesterday.

  However, Chen Guan was well prepared and in a different state. How could he be afraid of it? He took the initiative to meet it with a broadsword in hand.

  He stepped on the Wandering Cloud Step to avoid the smelly venom, and the boundless sea was launched. The man and the snake collided in the most ferocious way.

  The Red Ice Snake King has a huge inherent strength advantage in its body, but Chen Guan wins with his skills. His offensive is like a raging sea, with each wave stronger than the last. After retreating more than ten steps from the first collision, when the twenty waves are added up, they are already evenly matched.

  Of course, the consumption of his internal fighting spirit is also extremely amazing, almost draining him by one tenth.

  Fortunately, he is practicing the Xuan-level skills. If he had changed to the Huang-level, he would have been slaughtered after two or three bursts.

  "Haha, come again."

  After fighting the Red Ice Snake King to a draw, Chen Guan was in a good mood. For him, this is the most suitable opponent, who can bring him pressure without completely crushing him. Every attack is with the determination to kill him, and he never shows mercy.

  Such an opponent is really rare.

  It is also because of this that Chen Guan temporarily extinguished his determination to kill him immediately, and just kept it as a whetstone.

  The man and the snake fought back and forth for nearly two hours, resting more than once in the middle. They chased from one end to the other, causing chaos in the area where the second-level monsters were active.

  Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Guan took a second-grade pill to restore his fighting spirit, stopped fighting with him, and fled to the periphery.

  "Goodbye, I'll come to play with you tomorrow."

  The Red Ice Snake King chased for a while and then gave up. Maybe he understood what the boy said, or maybe he was tired, so he would kill him tomorrow. There was no rush.

  Chen Guan, who left the Monster Mountain Range, went straight to Wanyaozhai.

  After fighting for so long today, it was impossible not to have any injuries. Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries.

  He could handle it himself, but there was a free doctor, so why not use him?

  He could be professional.

  Familiar display, familiar staircase, seeing Chen Guan's injuries were not serious but he was going upstairs, several hot-tempered mercenaries stepped forward to stop him.

  But before they could make any move, a hand was placed on their shoulders.

  "Mr. Chen is our Wanyaozhai's honored guest." Manager Chang held the mercenary's shoulder with considerable force, expressing his determination.

  "Honored guest? This pretty boy?"

  "Well, in that case, I'll give your Wanyaozhai a favor and don't let me meet him outside."

  Manager Chang laughed and said nothing else. It was hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words. Anyway, as long as it didn't involve Wanyaozhai, it was enough.

  No one knew the power behind the young man better than Manager Chang. Today, he personally escorted a batch of yellow lotus essence to the nearby Jiji City for handover. What he didn't expect was that it was the city lord who came to pick him up in person, attaching great importance to this seemingly ordinary business.

  Seeing the leopard in the cage, Manager Chang realized that the young man's identity was extraordinary.

  Flattery might be unpleasant, but he thought he could ensure that the young man was safe in Wanyaozhai.

  On the other side, Chen Guan came to the Xiaoyixian's 'outpatient clinic' with ease.

  There were more people today, and Chen Guan waited for half an hour before sending all the irrelevant people away.   

  "Help me deal with the skin injuries, just apply some wound medicine."

  "Take it off, are you really going to look for the fire fox?"

  Seeing Chen Guan's slightly embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yixian had already guessed the result.

  "Of course, since you said it, I must do it. Unfortunately, I didn't find the one that hurt me yesterday. I only found its two brothers, both of which I roasted. Here, I left one for you. I promised you yesterday, don't worry about eating it, the strange smell has been dealt with by me."

  Seeing the boy really take out a roasted fire fox, Xiao Yixian's lips twitched slightly.

  She just thought it was a joke, but she didn't expect it to be real. But

  it was roasted so golden and crispy, it seemed to be quite delicious, which made people very appetizing.

  "Ahem, I won't eat it. The fire fox smells so strong that it can't be washed off."

  Swallowing her saliva, Xiao Yixian looked away and focused on treating the injuries. They were all minor skin injuries, and they didn't even need to be bandaged. Just clean it up and apply some medicine, and it will be over soon.

  "Today I'm shameless enough to get something for free. I'll bring you something delicious next time."

  "You're welcome. I have to thank you for the note you gave me. It's very helpful to me."

  After sending the boy out, Xiao Yixian returned to her seat and looked at the roasted whole fox on the table. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand.

  Is it really as delicious as he said?

  One bite, just one bite!

  She tore off a piece of leg meat and tasted it slowly. The rich meaty aroma instantly bloomed on the tip of her tongue. It seemed really good.

  Moreover, there was no strange smell.

  She couldn't help but stretch out her hand again, and then stopped. She quickly stood up and walked to the door. She poked her head out to make sure there was no one around. With a bang, the door was locked.

  The next day, Chen Guan ate, practiced, beat the snake king, asked Xiao Yixian to treat his wounds, and brought her a steamed fire fox.

  The next day, the same process, but this time it was replaced with spicy braised fire fox.

  Then she made a secret stewed fire fox.

  Stir-fried fire fox.

  For more than ten consecutive days, Chen Guan's daily life was very regular, and he made progress on both ends and gained a lot.

  After more than ten days of fighting, Chen Guan has already completely understood all the methods of the Red Ice Snake King. When he fights the snake king again, he no longer feels the pressure at the beginning and can handle it with ease.

  This makes him sigh that it is not easy to find an opponent who can always put pressure on him. This is the case with Gangzi in the royal family and this snake king.

  Chen Guan goes to Wanyaozhai every day, even though he has no flesh wounds in recent days, he still goes there regardless of wind or rain.

  The various ways of eating fire fox are still very useful. He and Xiao Yixian are now good friends.

  The two get along very happily every time, and the topics they talk about are getting wider and wider, from the way to eat fire fox, to some strange stories in Douqi Continent, to some mercenaries in Warcraft Town who became Cao thieves, and they also make some harmless jokes.

  They all enjoy this atmosphere, but the manager Chang of Wanyaozhai is a little more worried.

  Because in the past half month, Xiao Yixian seems to have a strange disease, with poor appetite, and the meals delivered every day are almost untouched, which is very worrying.

  It's not that he cares about Xiao Yixian, but Xiao Yixian is also a golden signboard of Wanyaozhai. If she gets into trouble, Wanyaozhai's business will plummet by at least 20%, which is no exaggeration.

  How can he not worry?

  At the same time, in a certain inn.

  With a muffled sound, Chen Guan opened his eyes, shining.

  "Finally a four-star fighter."
