Chapter 385: Bai Xiang Returns
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The foot of Mt Qingling; the scenery was exceptionally enchanting, and ancient trees grew sparsely. Birds flew over the fragrant flowers, and bees and butterflies could be seen busying themselves.
The only thing that was out of place here was a huge black hole with unfathomable depth. It gave one a feeling that a piece had been torn out of a perfect painting.
Nie Qingcheng and the rest were staring dumbly at the scene before them. Just like that, their clan head had been defeated. It hadn't even been a minute...
Most of the injuries were only superficial, and several huge bumps could be seen on Madman Nie's head. In that moment, he looked extremely comical.
The Nie Clan experts all wanted to charge over, but no one dared to do so. At the same time, the juniors felt a crazy urge to laugh loudly when they saw Madman Nie's despondent state. However, they didn't have the courage to laugh.
Everyone's shoulders were shaking lightly as they fought to control themselves. One could imagine how hard it was not to laugh.
The older Nie clansmen instead fell into a solemn silence as they looked at Bai Xiang seriously. Madman Nie had only been able to reach his current level by relying on his two fists. They'd never seen him being defeated so badly before!
Bai Xiang furrowed his brows and asked again, "So can you tell me now?"
Although his mind wasn't the brightest, he was in no way a stupid person. He could naturally tell that Madman Nie simply did not want to tell him when he'd first asked.
On the other hand, he had no quarrels or grudges with Madman Nie. The way he handled the situation was already very kind. At the very least, he did not cause Madman Nie any internal injuries, and had only given him some superficial beating.
Although Madman Nie looked exceptionally wretched, he was completely fine other than some external bruises. At the most, he only needed to lie down for a few days and he would be fine.
Madman Nie's face was completely black as he massaged a particularly large bruise on his head. If this crazy elephant was not so ridiculously strong, he would fight it out with Bai Xiang to the end!
'And what was that jab about me being weak? This daddy here is very powerful, okay?'
Madman Nie grumbled in his heart. But the fact was that he'd been beaten in just a few moves. It wasn't really wrong to say that he was weak...
As he looked at Bai Xiang crackling his huge knuckles again, Madman Nie's face turned green with fright.
Madman Nie's real name was not Madman Nie. Rather, this was a nickname given to him based on his personality and his crazy fighting style in battles.
A parent may give a child a wrong name, but nicknames that others gave cannot be wrong!
But although Madman Nie was a battle-crazy maniac, it did not mean that he was a brainless person. The fact that he was still alive after so many battles spoke volumes.
A fight between people of similar strength was called a battle. If the difference was too huge, that was called courting death!
A few minutes later, Bai Xiang left with wide steps, obviously satisfied with the information he'd received.
As he watched Bai Xiang leave, Madman Nie also hurriedly rushed off with the group trailing behind him. F*ck being unfilial. In that moment, he decided firmly that he would never come back to this broken place!
Madman Nie had already developed a phobia of this place. The last time he came, he was chased all over the place by a Super Demonic Beast, and a quarter of the Nie Clan members had been wiped out!
The next time he came back, it was because he saw that there were many cultivators gathered here, and there was safety in numbers. Thus, he might have been able to gain some profits from the ruins. In the end, they were chased all over the place by the Super Demonic Beast again!
This time, he was actually beaten into a pig's head out of the blue!

Bei Feng's group was also returning back from Mount Longhu. By the time he reached Blue Spirit Mountain, it was already dark.
"Shua!"
A shadow suddenly appeared before Bei Feng. At the same time, a huge palm smacked down towards his head!
"Bang!"
Bei Feng slapped out with the Bear Form Style at lightning speed!
The black shadow grunted lowly and shot out backwards, smashing heavily into several large trees.
Bei Feng pressed his advantage and with a single step, he jumped across the dark sky and appeared before the black shadow. A giant palm print five meters wide appeared before Bei Feng. His blood and Qi aura surged upwards dangerously, and the dark forest took on a dark crimson glow.
"Boss, it's me!"
A loud roar rang out. In an instant, the huge palm print in front of Bei Feng disappeared.
Although the palm print had not landed, and there was still a distance from the ground, the soft muddy ground had sunk by a few centimeters just from its pressure!
"Bai Xiang?"
Bei Feng stuttered as he looked at the figure before him. In that moment, his heart was filled with shock and delight.
Bai Xiang scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly, "Hehe, I've returned, Boss. I thought that I've become strong enough after three years of training, but in the end, I'm still not a match for Boss."
'What's going on? I've cultivated while risking my life for three years, and even used up countless resources. Even the private hoard of the old man had been emptied out by me. In the end, so be it if I still can't defeat the boss. But to be slapped away like a rubber ball is too illogical!' Bai Xiang thought dully.
Although he hadn't used his Golden Geng Undying Body yet, he felt that the results would be the same even if he used it. Perhaps he might be able to block two more blows?
"Haha, it's good that you're home. Let's go in first."
Bei Feng smiled happily and clapped Bai Xiang firmly on the shoulder.
Perhaps Bei Feng was too excited, but that slap on Bai Xiang's shoulder rattled his teeth.
Bei Feng brought Bai Xiang into the villa and immediately went to cook.
He made a full four dishes and a soup to welcome Bai Xiang back. With the value of the ingredients, this was exceptionally lavish!
The dishes were all made with Third Level Demonic Beast meat. Every dish was made from different Demonic Beasts.
The soup was brewed with a Third Level turtle Demonic Beast, and every dish emanated a strong fragrance. The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi and blood and Qi energy contained in the meat was exceptionally plentiful, to a point where strange phenomena appeared above the dishes!
Although it was not as exaggerated as those anime and movies like Shokugeki, it was still quite amazing to look at. It was like an illusion that the Demonic Beasts itself had been brought back to life!
Bai Xiang's saliva nearly overflowed as he sniffed at the air enthusiastically. His tongue had suffered greatly from the assortment of bland food he'd been given the past few years. How could he still endure at this point? Seeing that Bei Feng had started eating, he quickly chowed down as well.
As he ate, Bei Feng saw the two fellows Insatiable and Black Hole lurking outside suspiciously. Just as they were about to try to barge in, a few black lines appeared on Bei Feng's head.
"Wu, wu~!"
Insatiable and Black Hole protested outside the door. They could see people enjoying a feast inside, yet they were stuck outside the door. In that moment, they pawed the ground anxiously.
The concrete ground was like tofu under the Cerberus's claws, easily torn apart. With just a few light scratches, a large hole was dug in front of the villa.
"Alright, stop digging, I'll bury you guys in that pit if you continue."
Bei Feng glared sternly at the Cerberus, causing the hair on its back to stand on its ends.
"Wu, wu~!"
The Cerberus whimpered and hurriedly covered the hole up again. It even patted the soil with its paws uneasily after it was done, before turning to look at Bei Feng with a silly smile.
"Hur hur, I won't forget about your share."
Bei Feng chuckled with amusement as he observed the Cerberus's actions. After that, he got up and brought out a bone from the kitchen. The bone had already been sliced apart by Bei Feng, so the Cerberus could gnaw on it easily.
"Woof!"
All six eyes of the Cerberus brightened up as it picked up the bone and ran over to the side to enjoy it. With just a few bites, the delicious meat and marrow on the bone were quickly swallowed down. From the looks of it, the two fellows Insatiable and Black Hole had not learned from their last lesson.
Even though they had suffered through the feeling of being over bloated a few times already, their instinct was still to gobble everything down when the delicious smelling bone marrow was placed in front of them.
Indigestion's heart clenched violently at this sight. Were those two hungry ghosts recently reincarnated??
Just the meat around the bone was already enough for the Cerberus. If these two idiots also swallowed the bone, that would be disastrous!
Bei Feng shook his head lightly with a smile. These guys were really too cute. Insatiable and Black Hole had been raised personally by Bei Feng. Thus, he had special feelings with regards to these two.
After such a long time, Indigestion's mental power had already been split into three portions. Bei Feng could also sense that Insatiable and Black Hole's intelligence was growing. Right now, they were like two little kids, and were more playful and rowdy.
