No commentson FTTW: Chapter 14 – Fake Fallen Demon

Cheng Zhou showed off his cooking skills. With the gas and cast iron pot he brought, soon a pot of fragrant red braised pork belly came out.

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou and complimented him: “Your cooking skills are really good!” Ye You heard from the people of Black Wheat Village that Cheng Zhou is a good cook. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance to try it.

Cheng Zhou ate a piece of meat and felt a rush of heat running through his body.

Cheng Zhou had a similar feeling when he ate the horned boar meat before, but this time it was even more obvious.

The red braised pork belly was sweet and soft, melts in your mouth, and tastes so amazing that Cheng Zhou ate several pieces consecutively.

“You, don’t eat anymore!” Ye You was eating the meat, suddenly thought of something, lifted his head, and glared at Cheng Zhou.

Cheng Zhou looked at Ye You, smiled, and said: “If I am full, you will be full too, right?”

Ye You said fiercely: “Shut up, this is all my meat!”

Cheng Zhou said somewhat helplessly: “…… Fine, fine, fine. It’s all yours, it’s all yours.”

Cheng Zhou secretly thought that his sudden increase in appetite really had something to do with Ye You.

Cheng Zhou found that even if he didn’t eat and Ye You ate, he could still feel the rush of heat flowing through his body.

If it truly is the relationship between the master and slave, it should be a unilateral influence, but it is currently obvious that this is not the case. Perhaps Ye You lied to him and the two are not in a master and slave relationship, but an interdependent one. Maybe if he dies, it is not a good thing for Ye You either. With this guess, Cheng Zhou’s heart is a little more settled.

Ye You narrowed his eyes, looked at Cheng Zhou, and said unhappily: “What are you thinking about?”

Cheng Zhou smiled and said: “Nothing much! I was just wondering when you will be willing to teach me fighting force!”

Ye You snorted coldly and said discontentedly, “Why should I teach you fighting force?”

Cheng Zhou said flatteringly: “Am I not your slave? If I’m more competent, I can do things better for you!”

Ye you said with some disdain: “You’re a rebellious person. If you are more competent, you will surely stab me sooner or later.”

Cheng Zhou said innocently: “Why do you think so? I am absolutely loyal to you!”

Ye You narrowed his eyes and said: “I’m not good to you. Why are you loyal to me?”

Cheng Zhou: “……” Since Ye You is aware, shouldn’t he be treated nicer?

Ye You held his jaw, thought for a while, and said: “Well, I don’t know how to practice fighting force. However, since you don’t know how to read, I can read it to you.”

Cheng Zhou hurriedly said: “In this way, I’ll have to trouble you.”

It is magical that he clearly does not understand the words spoken by Ye You but yet he is able to comprehend them.

Cheng Zhou found that the efficiency of learning the other world language with Ye You was several times higher than with the people in Black Wheat Village. When learning the other world language with the people in Black Wheat Village before, they always spoke at the same time. Cheng Zhou often misunderstood what they mean. The people in Black Wheat Village are a little bit afraid of him, and they usually have some restraints when they talk to him. Conversing with Ye You is different. There is no need to worry about misunderstanding the meaning of the other party. Cheng Zhou clearly felt that his other world language was improving by leaps and bounds.

Ye You opened the book and started to read aloud. Ye You was not a good teacher, so he just recited the contents once. Even so, Cheng Zhou was already very satisfied.

Cheng Zhou closed his eyes and followed Ye You’s instructions to practice fighting force. Soon a stream of heat flowed through his body and then gathered in his chest.

Cheng Zhou originally felt a bit overwhelmed, but with the practice of fighting force, he starts to feel that the grease in his stomach was quickly burned. Ye You seemed to have discovered this, and the speed of eating meat increased again.

“Does eating meat help with the cultivation of fighting force?” Cheng Zhou asked.

Ye You nodded and said: “Not all meats can do it. This horned boar is already a lesser demon beast, so it helps a lot. Ordinary beasts don’t do much for fighting force cultivation.”

Cheng Zhou nods and said: “I see.”

Ye You glanced at Cheng Zhou and added: “As time goes by, the nutrients in the demon beast’s body will gradually be lost. By then, its contribution to fighting force cultivation will also weaken. Therefore, you should hurry up and practice.”

Cheng Zhou: “……” Ye You actually changed his nature and urged him to cultivate. Perhaps after I practice, Ye You can continue to eat with an empty stomach.

Cheng Zhou collected his thoughts, closed his eyes, and once again sank into cultivation.

Cheng Zhou felt that the heat flow in his body gradually condensed into a cyclone in his chest cavity, probably generating the so-called fighting force seed.

Cheng Zhou ended his cultivation and opened his eyes, saying with excitement: “I feel like I am a bronze knight now.”

According to the hierarchical division of this world, if you have started to practice fighting force, but are still an apprentice knight that has not gone out to gain experience, as long as you are able to cultivate fighting force, you are a bronze knight.

Ye You sneered and said: “Really? You must be dreaming to be able to cultivate fighting force. Why don’t you try attacking that tree over there with fighting force?”

Cheng Zhou waved his hand, and a faint dangling blue light hit the tree. The big tree remains intact.

Ye You gave Cheng Zhou a somewhat surprised look: “You really managed to practice it. Although it is on the weaker side, since you managed to release it, you are officially a bronze knight.”

Cheng Zhou smiled and said proudly: “Is my rate of progress very fast?”

Ye You narrowed his eyes and said: “What are you so smug about. There are plenty of children from big noble families who started practicing fighting force at the age of three and can release blue fighting force at the age of seven or eight. Bronze knights are in the majority.”

Cheng Zhou: “……” It’s not the same! He has only just come into contact with this world. “Starting to practice fighting force at the age of three and being able to release the blue fighting force at the age of seven or eight. That is to say, it should have taken several years to achieve.”

Ye You snorted coldly and ignored Cheng Zhou.

Ye You’s cold indifference did not affect Cheng Zhou’s excitement at all.

Cheng Zhou felt that he had taken a solid step towards becoming a martial arts master. Next, as long as he practiced hard, he would definitely become a peerless expert.

Cheng Zhou eyed Ye You and said: “You said that my ability to appear and disappear suddenly is somewhat like a fallen demon?”

Ye You nodded and said: “Probably.”

Cheng Zhou thought inwardly: My ability has already been exposed in front of Ye You, so it doesn’t matter.

Cheng Zhou said slowly: “My home is in a very distant place. One day, I suddenly gained this ability and ended up here unexpectedly. When I first arrived, as long as I think of it in my mind, I could come and go back if I wanted. However, it doesn’t work like that anymore. Sometimes, the ability can be used again only after a few days of interval. Do you know what the situation is?”

Ye You stared at Cheng Zhou, snorted lightly, and said: “You are a fake fallen demon. How do I know what’s going on?”

Cheng Zhou: “……” Is he despised because he is not a real fallen demon?

Ye You pondered for a while, and then said: “Your situation is a bit like the fallen demon with spatial ability. In fact, if you judge it according to the situation of a fallen demon, it is easy to explain.”

Cheng Zhou hurriedly said: “I would like to hear the details.”

Ye You glared at Cheng Zhou and said unhurriedly: “When a magic tide occurs, fallen demons are often born. Some people say that the magic tide is the devil releasing magic powers to tempt the weak-minded people to become the servants of the devil. The moment the fallen demon is awakened, the magic power in the body will be very full. People speculated that it is a gift from the devil. After the magic power is depleted, it will be more troublesome to replenish.”

“After possessing powers, many people are reluctant to give it up. After the magic power is depleted, many fallen demons will try to restore their magic powers. Some nobles said that the fallen demons are weak-minded people and will be unconsciously tempted by the devil to consciously accept the infestation of magic.”

“So that’s how it is. It turns out that when I had just awakened, I had more magic powers. It is gone after being used. If so, how to replenish magic power?” Cheng Zhou inquired.

Ye You glanced at Cheng Zhou and said: “How do I know? There are strong fallen demons and there are also weak ones. Many of them are very dependent on their talent, and their method of enhancement also varies. There is no systematic way to promote their strength. However, generally, once the power is depleted, it will recover naturally after a period of time.”

Cheng Zhou: “……” So, it can’t be figured out? This makes it more problematic.

Cheng Zhou sighed lightly. In the past, he could teleport several times in a day, but now he can only teleport once every few days.

If he had known that the number of times he could teleport would be limited, he should have made good use of the previous teleportation opportunities. However, it is now too late to regret it.

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou and said: “Since you can practice fighting force, you should focus on cultivating fighting force first. After your fighting force ability advances, maybe your spatial shifting ability can also be improved.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: “Alright, how can the fighting force be raised?”

Ye You said indifferently: “Since the fighting force can be released, continue to release it until you can control it skillfully.”

Cheng Zhou bobbed and said, “I understand.”

Cheng Zhou closed his eyes and sank into cultivation. Ye You sat on the side and monitored Cheng Zhou’s situation.

Cheng Zhou kept on running his spiritual power, and Ye You kept on eating. Soon, the pot of meat was empty.

Cheng Zhou was still immersed in his cultivation when he was kicked by Ye You.

Cheng Zhou gazed at Ye You speechlessly and asked: “What’s wrong?”

“There’s no meat.” Ye You said somewhat irritably.

Cheng Zhou had his eyes opened and muttered: “If you don’t eat meat, my cultivation speed will also slow down.”

Cheng Zhou couldn’t help but peek at Ye You. He felt more and more that the seed he consumed was not the seed for a master-slave relationship. If it was a master-slave relationship, it should be Ye You taking all the benefits alone, and the disadvantages are all passed on to him. But according to the current situation, when Ye You eats the demon beast meat, it is equivalent to eating it himself. Ye You’s injury seems to recover quickly by eating meat, and Cheng Zhou’s condition also improved a lot.

Ye you said discontentedly: “What are you looking at? If you look again, I’ll dig out your eyeballs.”

Cheng Zhou: “……” Really violent!

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou, coughed lightly, and said: “Those bottles and jars of yours are quite interesting. You can go and make another pot of meat.”

Cheng Zhou glanced at Ye You and advised: “Eating too much is not good. It is better to eat less but have more meals.”

Ye You said a little puzzled: “What’s wrong with a lot? I’ve always been like this. I eat when I have something to eat. One meal can last for three days.”

Cheng Zhou looked at Ye You and thought: Could it be that the constitution of people in this world is different from what I imagined? Could Ye You be the same as a great white shark?!

Great white sharks are very powerful predators, capable of killing large numbers of prey in a short period of time. One full meal and they can go weeks without food.

Some marine biologists have pointed out that sometimes great white sharks can go without food for up to three months, only using the fat stored in their liver to maintain their life activities. The longer they have not eaten a full meal, the stronger their hunting capabilities.

Cheng Zhou inwardly thought: Ye You is fierce, and it is indeed somewhat similar to a great white shark.

Ye You narrowed his eyes, sizing up Cheng Zhou, and said with some displeasure: “What are you thinking about? A big fat fish?”

Cheng Zhou: “……” What the hell is a big fat fish?

Cheng Zhou secretly thought: Ye You does seem to sense what I am thinking, but it doesn’t seem to be that clear.

“I didn’t think about anything significant. If you want to eat meat, I’ll make it for you. Anyway, there is so much meat. It will go bad anyway if it is just left there.” Cheng Zhou said.

Ye You agreed and said: “Hurry up.”

Cheng Zhou peered at Ye You and thought inwardly: Such a good-looking person is actually a rice bucket (big eater).

Cheng Zhou thought in his heart: Ye You can sense what I think, so I should be able to sense what Ye You thinks. It must be possible, but I am not able to master the method yet.
