Chapter 580: Nether Meal

隨機推薦：Ning Zhuo turned his head not,and departed.

Seeing his retreating figure,the old butler desired to scold,but the words reached his mouth,only to be strongly swallowed back down."This pockmarked youth is somewhat strange,could it be he has someone above, fearing not us?""If not for this, how could he be so arrogant?"The old butler mused within his heart,feeling the waters here might be exceedingly deep.He immediately resolved to suppress this breath first,and investigate this person's information ere speaking further.

Ning Zhuo sat back down within the dining hall,attracting the gaze of many.Sun Lingtong unobtrusively continued to squat by the wall,eating his meal. Ning Zhuo's departure and returnwere both under his close scrutiny.Should any anomaly arise,he would slay forth in the very first instant.

After Ning Zhuo sat down, he was drawn to the spiritual food before his eyes.Cinnabar Soul Jelly.This was a translucent crimson square cake,its surface displaying large areas of magical restrictions,seemingly the "Scripture of Nourishing Yin".After Ning Zhuo ate it, he first felt no taste,then sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and all manner of tastes surged forth together,causing him to make faces, difficult to adapt to for a time.But soon, these complex, impactful tastes rapidly dissipated,like a dying lamp in the human realm, all sentimentscarried away by the rain and wind.Ning Zhuo could not help but feel melancholy.

Cycle of Reincarnation Black Algae Roll.This was spiritual food made with yellow soybean skinwrapped around Nether River Algae.Ning Zhuo took a light bite, the texture exceedingly poor.The soybean skin was dry and tasteless, like layers of talisman paper.The algae was齁咸 (hōu xián - excessively salty), making one wish to spit out their tongue!

Brand Iron Ribs.The ribs were utterly scorched black, heavy as iron.Upon taking them, Ning Zhuo immediately felt a刺痛 (cì tòng - sharp pain)in his soul.He attempted to bite a piece, the meat of the ribs exceedingly tough,requiring considerable effort ere he could bite off a few mouthfuls.After chewing for a while, he instantly felt a strong burning sensation,enveloping his body and mind, utterly agonizing.

The staple was a basin of Tongue-Pulling Dao-Sliced Noodles.These tongues were exceedingly fresh,so fresh they either bounced about in the basin,or licked, or curled.Ning Zhuo attempted to eat a piece, and felt the tonguemadly writhing within his mouth, unwilling to be eaten.Only after he finally chewed it,the sauce contained within the tongue also intensely impacted his taste buds,so sour it was simply infuriating.After Ning Zhuo ate a piece, it was difficult to continue,feeling as though his entire mouth of teeth would be dissolved by the sourness.

The noon meal at the Hidden Yang Separate Mansion was truly讓人一言難盡 (ràng rén yī yán nán jìn - making one unable to express in words).Ning Zhuo was relatively better off; the others who arrived concurrentlymade countless fools of themselves, becoming subjects of ridiculefor many male consorts, and providing considerable entertainment.

"Hahaha, newcomers, you still have much to learn.""If you can't even eat a meal, what else can you do?""Better to scram early, lest you make a spectacle of yourselves here!"

Someone was indignant, mobilizing magical power,desiring to suppress the spiritual food within their mouth,so that it would no longer cause mischief.They were immediately discovered by the nearby paper servant attendants,and were instantly lashed.The paper servant attendant sternly proclaimed:"These spiritual foods were produced by our City Lord's Mansionat a great cost, painstakingly made.""You must not utilize magical power, contaminating these spiritual foods,causing immense waste.""If you cannot even eat a meal, you might as well scram early!"

The male cultivator who was lashed,his face flushed red, could only silently endure,not daring to utilize even an iota of magical power further.

Ning Zhuo also exerted himself, vigorously chewing and constantly swallowing.His efforts were due to his discoverythat while these spiritual foods were difficult to describe in taste,and at times exceedingly difficult to chew and swallow,their effects were splendid.

By the time he finished this lunch, he was pleasantly surprisedto find his soul foundation had already increased to two hundred and twenty times that of an ordinary person!"A single lunch, and it increased so much.""As long as I live here for a period of time,by merely eating, I can rapidly increase my soul foundation.Surpassing the thousand-fold mark is also possible!"

After finishing the noon meal, most of the male consorts departed the dining hall,leaving only Ning Zhuo and the others who had just arrived.Sun Lingtong walked over from the corner of the wall,transmitting a divine sense message:"I just conversed with other ghost race servants,and learned that their masters, upon arriving here,mostly bribed the old butler with wealth.""Especially since we are newcomers,the type of dwelling allocated is quite crucial.""Shall we perhaps emulate them, and strive to obtain a large house to reside in?"

The male consorts were all of the human race, with very few ghost race members.There was a deep chasm between newcomers and old-timers, and the atmosphere was not very friendly.But the ghost race members were quite easy to speak with,their attitudes towards each other were enthusiastic,and many offered proactive help and guidance.

"I also have news to tell you..." Ning Zhuoconcisely recounted his conflict with the old butler to Sun Lingtong.Sun Lingtong felt curious:"Xiao Zhuo, according to your personality, and your frequent saying that a smallimpatience can ruin a great plan, how could you cherish this bit of moneyand not engage in bribery? Do you have other ideas?""He who knows me best is Big Brother." Ning Zhuo praised him.He then slowly elucidated the reason:"White Paper Immortal City is beset by internal and external troubles.After all, we have disguised our identities. If we are truly exposed, it will be difficult to explain.Should we be mistaken for infiltrators dispatched by the City Overturning Alliance, that would be disastrous.""The foremost priority at present is to gather intelligence.""The second thing to note is to blend in with the crowd as much as possible,and not be too conspicuous.""As for bribery, we can act according to the circumstances in the future."

Sun Lingtong immediately understood Ning Zhuo's thoughts:"You mean, among so many male consorts, it's highly likelythat there are members of the City Overturning Alliance hidden?""That's also true.""The White Paper City Lord needs Yang energy for cultivation.Her personal state has always been exceedingly important for White Paper Immortal Cityto weather this ghost tide, it is the crucial of the crucial!""Since the City Overturning Alliance intends to overturn the White Paper City Lord's rule,they will certainly not sit idly by. It is highly possible toinsert personnel within the group of male consorts.""Therefore, we cannot seek the limelight; appearing ordinary will suffice."

Ning Zhuo nodded: "We can deduce the response of the City Overturning Alliance;there's no reason the higher echelons of White Paper Immortal City wouldn't anticipate it.""But the strange thing is, this time we are acting as male consorts,and there was almost no vetting process.""This is very likely a scheme laid by the White Paper City Lord.Under unfavorable circumstances, it is better to observe from the sidelines."

Having discussed this, the two no longer concerned themselves with good housing.

"You follow me, I will take you to recognize the places.Remember them well, so you don't go to the wrong place in the future.""Let me say the unpleasant words first.""There are many rules here, do not trespass randomly.If you cause any trouble yourselves, you are responsible!"

Two white paper attendants arrived before the crowd.After a series of warnings, they led the crowd away from the dining hall,to tour the various areas.The Hidden Yang Separate Mansion had numerous buildings and facilities.There was a Paper Figure Training Ground, Nether Meal Kitchen, Dining Hall,Soul Purifying Bathhouse, Tranquility Pavilion, Library,Low Desire Garden, Locking Yang Shadow Wall, and so forth,satisfying the cultivation, life, social, and other needs of the many male consorts here,utterly comprehensive.

The tour was not a mere cursory glance,but a rotation of individual attempts,striving to teach usage.After a round of touring, it was evening.

Ning Zhuo and the others returned to the dining hall,and first partook of the evening meal.The taste of this dinner was even worse than that of noon,but after consuming it, Ning Zhuo's soul foundationincreased by approximately thirty people, the effect even better than at noon.Most people dispersed, and after only the newcomers remained in the dining hall,the old butler reappeared."Room Alpha Number One, Jiao Ma!" The old man spoke,and surprisingly arranged the best room directly for Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong: ?!
