The Emperor is Above

Chapter 10 If you want to become stronger, just eat hard.
There was a lot of activity in Huaiqiu.

Qing Yi took out two wild wolves without hesitation and washed and skinned them clean. Last night the ghosts only sucked the blood of the wild wolves, so the wolf meat was still edible.

A wild wolf weighing more than 300 kilograms has a total of 150 kilograms of meat after removing the fur, bones, etc. Two wild wolves account for more than 300 kilograms of meat.

Large chunks of wolf meat are cooked in various ways, such as fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, roasted, boiled, and stewed. The rich aroma of meat fills the entire village.

Life in this world is poor. Even the lower-class nobles cannot guarantee that they will have meat all the time. Although the common people raise some livestock and poultry, they have to sell them in exchange for money and food, and they can only eat meat a few times a year.

As night fell, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Da Niu, who had not been able to stand out when he came back, now became the center of attention among the children. He excitedly told them about a series of dangers that had occurred yesterday, which caused exclamations from time to time.

The older boys, while listening to the story excitedly, gathered around the red coals at the edge of the fire, roasted the wolf meat coated with salt and seasonings into strange shapes, and ate it raw or cold, without caring whether it would upset their stomachs.

From time to time, a few teenagers would think that their grilled food tasted good, and would run to the long table where the young men gathered and give it to Qing Yi to share.

"Xizi, you overcooked this piece of meat. The meat is a little dry. Huaimu's meat is cooked to the perfect temperature. Use high heat to lock the surface first, then use low heat to roast it—"

Qing Yi accepted all the barbecue brought by the teenagers. He would make some comments and suggestions while chewing the meat. This made the teenagers feel closer to him and the villagers all smiled.

"Qing Yi, what do these little guys know about barbecue? If you eat it all at once like this, if anything goes wrong, it might be bad for your health."

Several elderly people drank a lot of corn wine, and their faces became more ruddy in the light of the fire. Seeing this, they couldn't help but persuade them, "Eating too much at night is not good for the stomach after all."

"Haha, that's not a lot at all. I'm not even 50% full right now."

Facing the kind advice of the elders, Qing Yi just smiled warmly, then turned his head and said, "Uncle Chai, please cut a piece of meat from the wolf's hind leg. Ten pounds will be enough, and don't want the fat."

Chai Yong stood up and cut a large piece of wolf meat from the cauldron beside him. He exclaimed, "Captain, including this piece of meat, you must have eaten at least 20 kilograms tonight, right?"

Hearing this number, everyone present fell silent.

Among the seventeen wild wolves that Qing Yi brought back, the weakest one was comparable to the initial stage of body forging, and there were even three that were comparable to the advanced stage of body forging, and they were almost able to be promoted to the ninth-grade exotic beasts.

If an ordinary person eats one pound of such wolf meat, he will not feel hungry for the whole day. However, if he eats three to five pounds, it will be an overdose, and those with weak bodies may even have nosebleeds.

The oldest old man stood up and said, "These wild wolf meats contain power and are extremely helpful for cultivation. It would be a waste for us old men to eat them today. Everyone, help smoke and hang the remaining wolf meat tomorrow so that Qing Yi can keep it for future cultivation."

"Yes, yes, the village head must hurry up and practice. Everyone should keep an eye out when they go to the capital. There may be some practice techniques for sale."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Qing Yi chewed the wolf meat with big mouthfuls and said with a smile: "I am practicing now. Want to become stronger? Just work hard on eating."

"How can you become stronger just by eating?"

Although everyone present was amazed at Qing Yi's huge appetite, they thought he was just joking. Only Da Niu knew about his master's adventure.

Qing Yi did not explain anything further, but just chewed the wolf meat carefully and peacefully. Every bite of food he ate was transformed into a strand of heat in his body, flowing through his body over and over again, and his body was getting stronger every second.

Heaven moves with vigor and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. This is the truth that Qing Yi has always believed in.

Whether it is the modern society in the past or the barbaric world we live in today, the law of the jungle is an eternal truth.

The only difference is that modern society is covered with a beautiful appearance, while the current barbaric world, apart from a few traces of order, is full of crises.

Although there are four powerful dragon claw locust tree spirits guarding the house, and there is a mysterious wood spirit in the spirit tablet of the god, external forces are not as reassuring as one's own strength. This night is the most peaceful night Qing Yi has slept since he came to this world.

The mysterious sachet blocked the Ghost King's search, and no ghosts suddenly broke in and tore him apart when he was sleeping. The most important thing was that he found a way to become stronger, which gave him confidence in the future.

The locust hill was quiet at night, even the sound of wind and snow stopped, only the sound of the little white fox and Aunt Bo's civet cat fighting could be heard from the yard from time to time.

Qing Yi was confusedly thinking about the strangeness of the little white fox. He had stolen its mysterious jade bead. The little fox should hate him, or at least find a chance to escape.

But throughout the whole day, the little fox showed no intention of escaping. After returning to the locust hill, it even became more lively, as if it had come to the safest place. Could it be that the ghost was looking for the little fox last night?

With the strong sleepiness accumulated over the past few days, Qing Yi fell asleep unknowingly.

"Oh oh oh-"

It felt like I had just closed my eyes and the sky was already bright.

"Oh oh oh-"

"Meow--Gurgle--"

“Ah-wool-wool-wool-wool-wool-”

Originally he wanted to sleep a little longer, but the yard was filled with the crowing of roosters, meowing of cats, and howling of foxes, making it impossible to have a moment of peace and quiet. Qing Yi had no choice but to get up, dress himself, and open the door.

"Ah wu——"

As soon as the door opened, a small white figure jumped onto him. The little fox climbed onto Qing Yi's shoulder, its little body trembling constantly.

The other two figures followed closely and stopped at the door. One was the majestic and mighty rooster in the house, and the other was Hua Ni, the lazy cat raised by Aunt Bo that never caught mice.

Qing Yi glared at the little white fox, then angrily said to the big rooster and the tabby cat, "You're fighting so early in the morning, making the whole yard restless. Don't you know that you're disturbing people's sweet dreams?"

"oh oh--"

The big rooster in our family has dominated the locust hill for a long time. It is one meter tall, with a fiery red crown like a flame and brightly colored feathers that are extremely beautiful.

It seemed not to see Qing Yi. It shook its head left and right, pretending to search for insects on the ground and ran away quickly. But it was the coldest time of the year, so where would the insects come from on the ground?

"Meow-"

The tabby cat seemed not to understand Qing Yi's words. It pretended to meow obediently, then twisted its fat butt and fled back to the west wing like lightning to seek shelter from Aunt Bo.

"Ah--" The little white fox lay on Qing Yi's shoulder and made a proud cry, as if it had found a big thick leg to hug.

The next second, Qing Yi grabbed the little thing by the neck and took it down: "Little thing, you started fighting everywhere as soon as you got home. That fat cat is a useless lazy guy. From now on, you have to catch the mice in the house."

“None of them are worry-free!”

Looking at the escaping figure of the little fox, and thinking about the abnormal rooster and civet cat at home, Qing Yi couldn't help scratching his head, always feeling that something was wrong.
