Chapter 2628 - 2627: Conversation

Ling Feng was left speechless, and with a bitter smile, he said, "Don’t worry, I’m not a reckless person. If it weren’t for the bloodline issue, I wouldn’t do something like this easily!"

"Well, I hope you’re telling the truth!"

The woman nodded and then said, "My name is Huo Huo."

"That’s a good name, fiery and lively."

Ling Feng nodded and introduced his own name.

The beginning was promising, then the Demon Clan leader said, "You guys chat slowly, I’ll head back first."

"Alright!"

Ling Feng nodded, then said, "If I enter the Xuanxu Realm and successfully eliminate the demon spawn, you’ll become the Demon King here!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ling!"

The leader’s eyes lit up, nodding immediately.

After he left, Ling Feng looked at Huo Huo, and Huo Huo looked at him, their eyes meeting, neither saying a word.

Feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ling Feng laughed, "Let’s sit down first."

Huo Huo glanced at him, didn’t say anything, and sat down unabashedly.

Silence followed, and neither of them spoke.

Ling Feng thought to himself, what kind of situation is this!

As a man, he couldn’t continue to be silent, so he asked, "As a member of the Demon Clan, you have the ability to transform into a human form, huh?"

"..."

Huo Huo stared straight at him without speaking.

Ling Feng was speechless but still smiled, "Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have flowers on my face?"

"I heard you’re quite powerful, aren’t you?" Huo Huo asked.

"Not bad, I guess?"

Ling Feng shrugged, "The monsters from your Demon Clan are pretty strong too, almost had me cornered."

"But you still won and even forced the demon spawn to retreat to Xuanxu Realm," Huo Huo remarked.

"Speaking of Xuanxu Realm, are you familiar with that place? I heard it’s the birthplace of the Demon Clan?" Ling Feng asked.

Huo Huo nodded, "I’ve heard of it but never been there. It’s said to be the origin of the Demon Clan."

"Seems like you don’t know much about the environment there, huh?"

Ling Feng said, a bit disappointed, then added, "Alright then, I’ll explore it when I get there!"

"Why are you chasing the Demon King, insisting on killing him?" Huo Huo asked.

"It’s a long story; my matters with him are quite complex in cause and effect," Ling Feng explained.

Huo Huo listened, glanced at him, "You don’t have anything to do now, why not tell me, or are you too lazy to talk?"

"That’s not the case!"

Ling Feng shook his head, "If you don’t find it boring, I can tell you."

"Then go ahead, I’m listening,"

Huo Huo said.

Chatting was a good way to break the awkward silence, so Ling Feng started from when he entered the Xuanling Realm, then moved on to Lingjian Mountain, and discovered the Elder’s issues, among other things.

This storytelling took at least two hours.

It was unclear if Ling Feng’s storytelling ability was too good, but Huo Huo was engrossed.

After Ling Feng finished, she immediately asked, "You know that the Demon King isn’t easily killed, yet you still want to find him in Xuanxu Realm?"

"This person must die, and I will definitely find a way to kill him!" Ling Feng said.

"Oh..."

Huo Huo glanced at him, not saying a word.

But Ling Feng’s determination and persistence surprised her.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head, "I’m a bit hungry."

"Oh, look at me!"

Ling Feng laughed, quickly stood up, and took out his usual items from the Space Ring.

Seeing that he seemed about to cook, Huo Huo curiously asked, "Are you planning to cook for me personally?"

"Yes, why?" Ling Feng asked.

"Someone of your stature, don’t you have servants around you?" Huo Huo asked.

"I don’t have the habit of using servants; I’ve always done things myself,"

Ling Feng said while lighting a fire, smiling, "I’m not a significant figure, just an ordinary human with some special abilities!"

"Oh..."

Huo Huo didn’t say much, just stared at him, busying himself, her eyes flickering.

After lighting the fire, when Ling Feng prepared to grill meat, he suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask, "By the way, you’re from the Demon Clan, I don’t quite understand your dietary habits. Do you eat raw or cooked meat?"

"Cooked, of course!"

Huo Huo glared, "Do you think I’m one of those lower-class demons, eating bloody raw meat?"

"Haha, I was just asking, why so angry?"

Ling Feng laughed and started skewering the meat.

Seeing his skillful movements, it seemed he really cooked often, so Huo Huo continued asking, "Do you have to cook like this for yourself every day?"

"No, with my current level, eating is optional. Just a habit I developed since childhood, so sometimes I eat to enjoy myself!" Ling Feng explained.

"You don’t need to eat anymore?"

Huo Huo listened and continued asking, "But I still need to eat every now and then!"

"That’s fine, if you’re hungry, just tell me and I’ll cook for you anytime!" Ling Feng said.

Hearing this, Huo Huo responded with an "Oh," feeling quite satisfied inside.

Ling Feng had cooked meat countless times, mastering it to the point he could do it with his eyes closed.

So soon, the skewered meat emitted oily goodness and fragrant aroma.

Huo Huo sniffed, then said, "Lucky we’re on this platform, otherwise, this scent would cause chaos among the Demon Clan!"

"Really?"

Ling Feng was surprised, glanced at her, "Is it difficult for the Demon Clan to eat cooked food?"

"Yes."

Huo Huo nodded, "Those who eat cooked food in the Demon Clan are people of high status; the lower class doesn’t have that privilege."

"I see."

Ling Feng realized and then smiled, "In that case, being human is still quite fortunate."

But before he finished, Huo Huo immediately glared at him, "Do you look down on our Demon Clan?"

"No, no, just speaking from a social structure standpoint!"

Ling Feng laughed, thinking this young lady had quite a temperament, turning angry so quickly?

He quickly handed her a skewer of grilled meat, "Try it, I think it tastes good."

Huo Huo didn’t say much, she was already tempted by the aroma, so she took it and bit into it.

She immediately widened her eyes!

Since birth, she had never eaten such fragrant food!

In her surprise, she didn’t bother with any ladylike manners and started eating voraciously.

Ling Feng watched from the side, laughing, "No need to rush, it’s all yours, no one’s competing."

Busy eating, Huo Huo couldn’t care less about his words.

Just like that, she continued eating skewer after skewer, then seeing Ling Feng slowly eating from a skewer himself while taking out an unknown liquid, she asked, "What is this?"
