Bai Xiaochun's movements poked his head out the window instantly attracting the attention of the pale-faced young man. Angry, he shouted, “So, you are the one who took my place!”
It was too late for Bai Xiaochun to bow his head back to the window. He immediately attached a plain expression to his face and said, “No, it's not me!”
“Liar! You are so skinny and short, you are obviously a beginner here! ” Xu Baocai clenched his hands and stared intently at Bai Xiaochun. He was so angry that he looked like he would explode at any moment.
Feeling extremely aggrieved, Bai Xiaochun peeked: “It really has nothing to do with me!”
“I don't care! Three days from now on the southern slope of the sect, you and I will fight to the death! If you win, then I have no choice but to suck it up. If you lose, then I get my place back. ” Xu Baocai stuffed his hand into his robe and took out Blood Notice, which he threw into Bai Xiaochun's window sill. The notice was covered with countless versions of “DIE” characters, all written in blood.
Bai Xiaochun looked down on all the characters of “MATI” and could not miss the tempestuous killing intent from them. His heart became cold. Then he recalled that Xu Baocai had just mentioned ‘fight to death,’ and he gasped.
“Sister, this is no big deal! Why do you have to go and use your own blood to write so many characters? Isn't that... sick? ”
“Not a big problem?!” Xu Baocai roared, gritting his teeth. “Huh! I have lived frugally for centuries. I saved up spirit stones for seven years! Seven years, did you hear me!?!? Only then can I bribe the Honor Guards to give me a place in the Oven! So you decided to set foot in the door? This enmity can never be reconciled! Three days from now is the day of your death! ”
“I think I will pass,” Bai Xiaochun said, taking the Blood Notice carefully between his thumb and forefinger, and then throwing it out the window.
“YOU!” Xu Baocai rampaged. Suddenly, he felt the ground tremble, and he realized that there was a mountain of flesh standing beside him. It was hard to tell how long Big Fatty Zhang had been standing there, but it was there that he, at the side, coldly sized up Xu Baocai.
“Ninth Fatty,” said, speaking to Bai Xiaochun, “You are on duty on a plate with Second Brother.” Then he looked back at Xu Baocai. “As for you, stop making such a fuss! Get the fuck out of here! ” He swept his spoon into the air threateningly, causing a gust of wind to blow.
Xu Baocai's face fell, and he retreated a few steps. He wanted to continue arguing, but seeing the impatient expression on Big Fatty Zhang's face, he looked at Bai Xiaochun with a venomous look, then walked away.
As Bai Xiaochun thought about it, he realized that given the cruel gaze Xu Baocai gave him, he would definitely appear again at some point. Therefore, the best thing to do in this situation is to stay in the Oven. Most likely, Xu Baocai would not dare to go back there and cause trouble.
Days pass. Bai Xiaochun was slowly getting used to working in the Oven during the day, and processing the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art at night. However, progress is slow. Finally he got to the point where he could endure for four breaths of time, but nothing more, frustrating him greatly.
On one night in the middle of his cultivation session, he suddenly heard a huge commotion among the fat Little Brother Sisters.
“Close the gate, close the gate! Hurry up, Second Fatty Huang, close that gate! ”
“Third Fatty Hey, check and see if anyone is spying on us. Soon!”
Bai Xiaochun blinked in surprise. Learning from his previous mistakes, he dodged the window and peered through the gaps in the door. What he saw was a group of fat people busy around the courtyard so fast that they almost flew away.
A few moments later, the main gate of the Oven was tightly closed. In addition, for some reason, a thin mist sprung up, making the fatty look even more mysterious than before.
Bai Xiaochun watched the scene play out. The fatties now rushed to one thatched-roof hut. Despite all the fog, Bai Xiaochun could clearly see the great skeleton of Big Fat Zhang, and he seemed to be talking to the others. The entire scene was very strange, so Bai Xiaochun started to move away from the door in an attempt to pretend to see nothing.
However, it was at that moment that Big Fatty Zhang's voice echoed: “Ninth Fatty, I know you're watching. Get out of here!” Although he did not speak very loudly, his voice immediately weighed down on Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun blinked a few times, then slowly walked out the door, putting on a plain expression of someone who was not even capable of injuring flies.
As soon as he approached the fat group, Big Fat Zhang caught up to him and pulled him to stand between them. Almost instantly, Bai Xiaochun smelled a unique scent, something that instantly caused a warm feeling to spread throughout his body.
He looked around at the others, and saw that they all had euphoric expressions on their faces. For some reason, he also felt happy. It was then that he realized that Big Fatty Zhang was holding a magic mushroom in his hand. It was the size of a baby's hand, and translucent like a crystal; all it needed was a single glance, and anyone could tell that it was no ordinary item.
Big Fatty Zhang looked towards Bai Xiaochun, then stretched out a mushroom and roughly said, “Come, Ninth Young Brother, try.”
“Uhh ..” replied Bai Xiaochun, observing the magic mushroom. Then he looked around at all the fat Elder Brothers, and hesitated. Big Fatty Zhang was instantly annoyed. From the look on his face, if Bai Xiaochun did not eat the mushroom, the two of them would become enemies.
Not just him. Second Fatty Huang, Third Fatty Hei, and the others were all glaring at Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun swallowed. Even in his wildest dreams, he would never have imagined himself to be in a situation where people would be angry if he had not bitten the priceless magic mushroom, he said, it was like nothing more than chicken feet. However, that was precisely what happened right before his eyes.
“Learnest. Elder Sun asked that we use this hundreds of years old magic mushroom in soup. If we all bite, then we should drown or swim together! ” Big Fatty Zhang looked very satisfied as he opened his mouth and bit him. Then he tossed the mushrooms into the next fat row, and soon, all of them were chewing on the mushroom meat. Now that they were all chewing together, the group smiled at Bai Xiaochun as if he was now one of them.
Bai Xiaochun chuckled as he realized that all of these people were basically partners in crime. Furthermore, given that they become extremely fat this way, it might not be dangerous to join them. No wonder Xu Baocai gave him a duel challenge with the word “MATI” written on it many times….
“Small,” says Bai Xiaochun, “magic mushrooms are scrumptious! I feel like my whole body is burning! ” He licked his lips and looked at Big Fatty Zhang impatiently.
In response, Big Fatty Zhang's eyes began to shine brightly. With a warm laugh, he flamboyantly took out a sealwort flower, which he handed over to Bai Xiaochun.
“Now do you see how amazing the Oven is, Young Brother? I'm not lying! Okay, eat. Eat until full! ”
Bai Xiaochun's eyes started to glow as he took a big bite. Furthermore, Big Fatty Zhang took out a kind of natural precious material, something that looked like a golden gem, which emitted a fragrant aroma.
Bai Xiaochun did not need a hint from Big Fatty Zhang. He immediately bit and swallowed it. A sharp taste filled him with an incredible sensation. Following which, Big Fatty Zhang produced an extremely sweet red spirit fruit.
More items appear. Magic mushrooms, various medicinal ingredients, spirit fruits and other precious items. Bai Xiaochun took part of them all, as did the other fats. He ate so much that his head swirled around. He almost felt drunk, his body hot and burning to the point where white steam rose from above his head. He felt fat like a ball.
The more he ate, the better Big Fatty Zhang and the others looked at him. In the end, they slapped their stomachs and laughed out loud, and they all really looked like a couple in crime.
Head swimming, Bai Xiaochun reached out his hands and feet. His hand landed on Big Fatty Zhang's gigantic belly, and his feet landed to the side. He started laughing with the others.
“Another servant department will kill to enter one of them into the Outer Sect. But we kill to make sure we stay out! Who wants to go there anyway? What's so good about the Outer Sect, huh? ” Big Fatty Zhang sounds very proud of this. As he finished speaking, he plucked out the ginseng root. The root itself had countless faint-looking age rings, and was covered with many roots. Clearly, this ginseng root was already very old.
” Ninth Young Sister, our cultivation bases are all strong enough that we could become disciples of the Outer Sect long ago. However, we prefer to hide our true level. Look, there are disciples from the Outer Sect who would kill to get one bite from a hundred-year-old ginseng root like this. Do we look scared? ” Big Fatty Zhang then plucked out a small root and put it in his mouth, chewed, and swallowed it. Then he handed the ginseng root to Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun was so full that he could barely see straight away. “Sister, I'm full…. I really can't eat one more bite– ”
Before he could even finish speaking, the Big Fat Zhang plucked out a root and put it into his mouth.
“Ninth male sister, you are too thin, so thin that the girls in the sect will not like you. In our sect, they like people like us. Brother, strong and plump! Come, eat…. ” Big Fatty Zhang burps big. Then he took out a pile of empty bowls, simultaneously pointing to two scrolls hanging on either side of the nearby straw cottage, upon which was inscribed a stanza. “Look, we have a saying here that says that I would rather starve to death in the Oven than fight my way up the stairs in the Outer Sect.”
Bai Xiaochun looked at the temple and said, “Yes, definitely! We all want to starve to death here! Uh. yeah, starve to death. ”
Then he slapped his stomach and burped.
Hearing this, Big Fatty Zhang and the others started laughing. They all thought Bai Xiaochun was getting more charming.
“Today is an amazing day,” said Big Fatty Zhang. “Ninth Young Sister, there is something important to tell you. We have a certain way of doing things here, in the Oven, and to customize it, you need to memorize a certain mnemonic. Attentiveness. Magical fruits and plants; Bite the ends but leave the stems; Iris the flesh thin if there are some that need to be slaughtered; as for the bones leave a little meat on it; Spirit porridge? Flush to thin; a nice wine? Half a cup is enough.
“Six of these lines were compiled after years of suffering by previous generations. If you go out to eat by following these principles, then you are guaranteed to be safe. All right, let's just say it's night. Go to bed, today's midnight snack is over. The Outer Sect disciples were still waiting for their soup. ” As he spoke, Big Fatty Zhang started filling the empty bowl with rice porridge.
Bai Xiaochun's head turned around, and he couldn't stop thinking about the six lines of truth he had just been told. He stared at Big Fatty Zhang and the others filling the bowl, burping, then crouched down to inspect the bowl itself. Then, his mouth turned into a smile.
“Elder Brothers, this bowl is too good.”
Big Fatty Zhang and the others stared back at him with strange expressions.
Looking charming as usual, she chuckled and said, “A quick glance, they don't look too big, but can actually hold a lot of food. Why don't we make it look big, but keep less food? For example, we can make the bottom of the bowl ... thicker! ”
Big Fatty Zhang stared in shock, as if he had just been struck by lightning. His fat scroll then began to tremble, and his eyes began to shine brightly. The other fatties started to pant, and their fat also started to tremble.
Suddenly the sound of a loud punch rang out as Big Fatty Zhang slapped his thigh. Then he looked up and laughed out loud.
“Yes yes! That's an idea worth taking down! Future generations in the Oven will all benefit from this! Ninth little brother, I never imagined that someone as charming as you would be as cunning as this! Ha ha! You were born to be part of the oven! ”
