Chapter 147: Visit From the Jin Family
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng was feeling rather smug at this moment. The whole situation seemed similar to how adults would always confiscate the red packets [ED/N: Money gifts] from their children, saying that it's for 'safekeeping'. Then when they asked for it in the future, the adults would say that the money had all been used to buy food and clothes for them...
The naive little fox obviously was unfamiliar with this tactic and did not understand how many traps were hidden within those simple words. It thought for a moment and quickly nodded its head in consent.
Bei Feng kept the fruit into his spatial ring and went to prepare dinner.
A one jin piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat appeared in his hands with a thought as he walked into the kitchen. After some slight preparations, a hearty fire appeared under the wok.
"Sizzle!"
A wisp of green smoke rose upwards as a generous amount of oil was poured into the heated wok.
Rather than saying he was making grilled fish, it was more appropriate to refer to it as fried fillets. Slice after slice of thinly sliced meat was dropped into the hot oil.
The oil and batter quickly wrapped around the slices of meat, forming a crispy-looking golden layer around it.
The thin pieces of fish which looked like they should have been fried in a short time took over two minutes before the pinkish flesh started to turn golden! A greasy mouthwatering smell soon wafted out of the wok.
The pieces of fish were completely fried and placed atop a plate. Bei Feng nodded in satisfaction as he poured some previously prepared sauce over it.
"Looks pretty good," Bei Feng mumbled as he looked at his handiwork.
The crispy golden fish fillet glazed with the chilli mushroom sauce looked extremely appetizing.
With the addition of a large bowl of piping hot white rice, Bei Feng felt like life was getting more and more cozy.
The little fox had also sensed the rich aroma and jumped onto the table. It looked at Bei Feng with eyes full of anticipation.
"Ah, what should I do with you? How is a small creature like you such a huge glutton? You can only have one piece this time!" Bei Feng laughed aloud and shook his head as he picked up a piece of fillet and placed it in the little fox's rice bowl.
The little fox hurriedly nodded. Although it was a glutton, it still had a pretty good memory. The last time it tried this Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's meat, it had eaten just two slices and was nearly stuffed to death by the overflowing energy!
Bei Feng took a piece of fillet with his chopsticks and brought it to his mouth. With a light bite, a crisp crunchy sound sounded out in his mouth, "Kacha!"
Along with the crisp sound, the fillet broke apart in his mouth to reveal the tender golden flesh underneath. Although the fillet was very thin, only the outside was crispy even after being fried at a high temperature.
Surprisingly, although the fillet was fried with an abundance of oil, there was only a light canola oil taste on his tongue. The fish was originally already very fragrant and when combined with the sauce, the result was an indescribable deliciousness!
The large plate of fillet quickly disappeared into Bei Feng's stomach, leaving him wanting for more.
'Forget it, it's better to stop here. Otherwise, I'll be overstuffed again,' Bei Feng controlled the impulse to whip up another plate of fried fillet. He could still handle 1 jin of meat, but if he ate any more, he would have to use the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique to get rid of the excess energy.
He had just taken a bath not long ago, and did not wish to take another bath again so soon.
"Woof woof!"
Insatiable and Black Hole threw Bei Feng a scowl as they bounded over. The good stuff was all eaten by you two? What about us?
Bei Feng smiled lightly as he squatted down and rubbed the two dogs on the head. "You two will naturally not get anything less."
The two little wolfdogs had been feeding on the innards of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King in this period of time, and their growth was nothing short of astonishing!
In terms of size, they were pretty much close to a full-grown wolfdog. Furthermore, the ferocity of these two little fellows was much superior to a full-grown wolfdog's!
Whether it was explosive might, bite force, or speed, they were not something that other dogs could compare with!
Bei Feng went to the back of the mansion where he had kept the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's innards and opened the sealed vat to reveal the perfectly preserved intestines. He cut off two small slices and placed them in the two little wolfdogs' food bowls.
"Ruff!"
The two little fellows did not waste any time as they bared their teeth and sunk their snouts into the food bowl.
In just a short moment, the bowl was licked clean. Bei Feng did not continue feeding the two wolfdogs. It was enough if the portion was just right. Eating too much of this high energy food was not a good thing for them!

In a luxurious villa in Qingcheng, Jin Sanjue had an extremely dark expression on his face as he looked at the wretched Jin Song whose head was still wrapped in a bunch of bandages.
Jin Sanjue had an extremely rough time recently. Nothing went his way at all. He had gone into closed door cultivation to try to train a martial technique. But in the end, he remained stuck at the final portion and was unable to cultivate it.
Right after he emerged from his seclusion, the news about the Primordial Heavenly Tree had arrived. Jin Sanjue immediately rushed over with another Evolved Jing expert. But who would have thought that the underground cavern was so dangerous and there would be such a large number of powerful experts as well?
In the end, they did not obtain anything from the trip and had returned with dust on their faces.
Shuge and the rest stood silently nearby, not daring to breathe too loudly. They didn't even dare to look at Jin Sanjue's face.
"The few of you are really capable! You were taken out before you could even see your opponent? You've really gained face for me!" Jin Sanjue's face turned darker and darker, like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
"Bring me there tomorrow! I want to see who it is with such great guts!" Jin Sanjue glanced at the bunch of mutes in the room and snorted coldly before storming out of the room.
Jin Song's face was still wrapped up in bandages, but his eyes were shining with a hateful gleam. He was originally such a handsome young man, but his face had actually been beaten into such a state!
The night passed, and Jin Sanjue arrived at Qingling Village under the lead of Shuge and the rest. The group was made up of martial practitioners, and their speed was as fast as that of race horses. They arrived outside Bei Feng's old mansion very quickly.
"Come out for this old man right this instant!" Jin Sanjue shouted while pointing at the mansion door. His powerful voice reverberated through the area.
Shuge and the rest who were standing near him all felt their blood and Qi rumble, growing unstable.
Bei Feng had just returned to the mansion after his morning cultivation when he heard the shout. After encountering such a vulgar voice early in the morning, his mood turned sour as he walked towards the mansion door.
"Woof! Woof!"
The two little wolfdogs were not willing to lose to others in terms of shouting and barking. They immediately barked back with equal ferocity as they followed behind Bei Feng.
Perhaps they had eaten too much raw meat, but the two little wolfdogs had become more aggressive and were easily provoked.
"Creak!"
Bei Feng opened the door lightly and stood in the doorway, staring at the group of people expressionlessly.
"Little bastard, you didn't expect that I would really come, right? Today, I will let you understand what it means to seek life and not obtain it, and wish for death but being unable to die!" Jin Song laughed arrogantly as soon as he saw Bei Feng's figure. He had finally found the outlet for all the hate in his heart!
Jin Sanjue furrowed his brows slightly, but didn't say anything. 'Forget it, it's better to let him vent his anger this time. Otherwise, this issue might turn into a demon in his heart.' Seeing the crazed look on his son's face, Jin Sanjue could only sigh in resignation.
'But why does this person look so familiar? Where have I seen him before?' Jin Sanjue stroked his beard as he looked at the indifferent face of the young man.
"Badump!"
Jin Sanjue felt his heart leap violently!
He finally remembered who this young man was! Bloody hell, Jin Song, this little bastard, he had finally brought him to the grave this time!
Jin Sanjue's strength as an Evolved Jing master was only slightly below average. Even when all the experts were fighting the gigantic snake, he had been forced to stand far away and watch!
He still had a very deep impression of the valiant young man who dared to clash headlong with the gigantic snake! Because he had not taken a proper look at Bei Feng's face when they arrived, and because he had come here with the misconception that the person who injured his son was only a half step Evolved Jing master, he hadn't taken the young man before him seriously.
But the more he looked at Bei Feng now, the more certain he was that Bei Feng was the same person who was able to fight evenly against the gigantic snake!
"PA!"
"Ahh~!"
A crisp slap suddenly rang out across the mountain, followed by an indescribably wretched cry of pain.
