The Demon’s Menu

A few moments later, 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long departed.

He didn't enter the room, nor did he even move a step.

He only said a few words and made some gestures.

Then, with a leap, he vanished into the slightly lit morning of the Northern Capital City.

Watching the departing figure of 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long, Jason took a slight breath.

In the cool morning breeze, Jason squinted.

He finally understood what 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long wanted to do!

To kill the Sect Hierarch of the Transmigration Cult: the Carefree King!

Exactly!

At the same time, he also presides over the Heart Devouring Sect.

The intrigues and underhanded dealings in the shadows of the entire Empire for nearly twenty years are probably closely related to this 'Carefree King,' though it's difficult to explain.

But specifically, Jason doesn't know.

'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long also had no way to explain in detail.

After all, gestures have limited expressiveness.

More words could not be spoken openly.

When 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long appeared, Jason could feel a gaze constantly watching them.

Therefore, the two spoke very cautiously.

They even exchanged only a few words during their conversation. <subtex>.</subtex>

But there was one thing Jason was very clear about.

The next step is crucial.

He must prepare well.

Time is like the filling in a dumpling, it seems like a lot, but it's actually very little.

Even though Dou Bao felt sorry for the Guild Master and added more meat filling, it was still little for Jason.

He had too many things to be busy with.

Three days seemed to fly by in an instant.

A lot happened in Northern Capital over those three days.

However, to sum it up, it came down to two main points.

First was the destruction and rebuilding of The Six Fan School.

Second was the spreading fame of the Heavenly Sword within Northern Capital.

And between the two, the matter of 'Feng Feiyu being removed from the position of chief catcher' seemed less noticeable.

In the afternoon, the warm sun shone down.

Jason and Dou Bao walked shoulder to shoulder on the streets of Northern Capital.

Every day at this time, it was Dou Bao's happiest moment.

Not just because of walking around the streets.

But also because the Guild Master was accompanying her.

"Guild Master, where are we going today?

Yesterday we already had pork hock, pig's trotters, and roasted mutton.

What shall we eat today?"

Dou Bao asked.

"Let's head to Su Niang's place and see Feng Feiyu."

Jason replied.

Walking around naturally makes you tired.

So, before returning to 'Jishi Hall,' having a little snack isn't too much, right?

That's what Jason did.

He spent three afternoons indulging himself in the delicacies of Northern Capital, nearly satisfying his cravings.

Unfortunately, booking at some of the famous private dining places was too difficult.

Jason deeply regretted it inside.

Perhaps the dishes at those private restaurants weren't even as delicious as those made by Dou Bao.

But he always wanted to try them.

Not being able to do so was naturally disappointing.

Today is the agreed time with 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long.

After today?

I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in Northern Capital anymore.

Jason glanced at the main mission.

[Reputation: 2021/3000]

...

Since that night, after using the [Chen Xi Sword] to cut down the Water Dragon of 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long, his reputation had once again skyrocketed.

Although one could say they were performing, others didn't know that.

In the hearts of everyone in Northern Capital at this moment, he is regarded as a supreme expert of 'Martial Arts Divinity.'

Though, from certain aspects, it's not wrong.

But, Jason knows very well that he and the supreme experts in this replica world of 'Martial Arts Divinity' belong to entirely different systems.

Not to mention other things, even the 'Five Poisons Godly Annihilation Palm' has only just loosened slightly.

And that was with his constant, reckless efforts.

According to the normal system of this replica world, achieving this step is nearly impossible.

Because, even if you are a supreme expert of 'Martial Arts Divinity,' you still only have one 'life.'

Even if it appears that the Carefree King, fused with the Heart Devouring Secret Technique and the Heavenly Monster, has multiple lives, they are all illusory and not in the true sense of the original body, which is a secret technique that explores different paths.

And for a 'True Skill' at the level of the 'Five Poisons Godly Annihilation Palm,' if it's not practiced by the original body, it's like using a cup of water to put out a burning cartload of fuel.

In this life, you shouldn't expect to make any achievements.

"It would be good to have another ten days or so."

Jason silently calculated and then sighed.

How could things go as one wishes?

It applies to others.

And he's no exception.

However, just thinking about the simmered stew at Su Niang's place lifted Jason's spirits again.

It's undeniable that despite eating a lot of delicious snacks over the three days, the stew at Su Niang's still left a deep impression on Jason.

Especially the mashed garlic and boiled pork.

Truly a perfect match.

"Sister Su Niang has already taught me the secret recipe. Even if we leave Northern Capital, we can still enjoy it."

Dou Bao knew Jason too well.

Normally, she wouldn't know what Jason was thinking.

But when it came to matters of eating, Dou Bao had an absolute intuition.

Upon hearing Dou Bao's words, Jason smiled.

Why did he like to bring Dou Bao along?

Not only because of Dou Bao's culinary skills but also because of her ability to understand others.

The two of them strolled through the small streets, casually bought two sticks of candied hawthorn skewers on grass stems.

Each carrying a stick, as they finished eating, they would casually take down another candied hawthorn skewer.

Of course, Jason did most of the eating.

Dou Bao had two and stopped.

But even just watching Jason eat made her very happy.

A good fifty sticks of candied hawthorns were stuck on the grass stems, shimmering in the warm afternoon sun, with the hawthorns a bright red, looking very appealing.
