The glint in Celestial Master Zhang’s eyes caught their expressions, a hint of smugness flashed across his face. It seed that this Weirdo had lived in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests for a long ti and probably hadn’t even eaten cooked food before. After all, without arms or legs, how would he make a fire, let alone cook?
The Weirdo’s long hair was a tangled ss over his shoulders, his face very dirty, clearly he hadn’t bathed in a long ti, and a strange, unpleasant sll occasionally emanated from him. He lay on the ground, staring at the rabbit roasting on the fire, dripping with oil, and finally couldn’t help but say, "Brother, it slls so good!"
Celestial Master Zhang smiled and said, "Slls good, huh? It’s almost ready."
The Weirdo also smiled and said, "Could you spare a bit for to taste?"
"Sure, of course, this rabbit is originally yours," Celestial Master Zhang thought to himself in secret delight.
After a while, the rabbit at was finally roasted. To achieve his goal, Celestial Master Zhang disregarded the heat, tore off a rabbit leg with his bare hands, and offered it to the Weirdo in a flattering way, hoping that for the sake of this roast rabbit, the Weirdo would let him leave the forest.
Who would have thought, just as he bent over to hand it over, he realized sothing was amiss. The Weirdo had no limbs, only a head and a torso. How could he take the rabbit being offered to him? Celestial Master Zhang paused, a hint of an awkward smile crossing his face. Of course, he mainly feared angering the Weirdo, which would ruin his chance of leaving the forest.
The Weirdo, having craved the rabbit at for a long ti, was not watching the expressions on Celestial Master Zhang’s face at all. Just as Celestial Master Zhang’s hand was about to retract, suddenly, the Weirdo’s entire body bounced up from the ground, and he caught the rabbit leg in his mouth in one swift move. Moreover, he ate at a rapid pace, finishing the leg in two or three bites.
This scene took Celestial Master Zhang aback again.
What’s going on?
A person without arms or legs suddenly leaping up from the ground, nimbly taking away the rabbit leg in his hand? Was he seeing things?
"What are you dawdling for? Quickly, give the other rabbit leg." The Weirdo, mouth full of grease, looked a little unsatisfied.
It turns out, while he was in a daze, the Weirdo had already finished the rabbit leg. Seeing this, Celestial Master Zhang hurriedly tore off another rabbit leg for him.
The Weirdo was thoroughly enjoying himself as he ate.
The wolf beside them watched eagerly, seemingly greatly intimidated by the Weirdo, not daring to snatch anything.
Not until the Weirdo finished all four rabbit legs did he sit back against the tree trunk, finally satisfied. He closed his eyes and lazily said, "Let Xiao Hei have a taste of the remaining rabbit at!"
Celestial Master Zhang understood that the Weirdo was speaking to him, so he quickly tossed the remaining rabbit at down at the wolf’s feet.
The wolf, seeing this, happily began eating.
Celestial Master Zhang glanced discreetly, seeing the Weirdo half reclining against the tree trunk, eyes closed as if asleep, and the wolf focused on eating beside him. He felt secretly pleased—if he didn’t leave now, when would he?
Although the Weirdo promised to lead him out of the forest, the Weirdo’s rcurial nature made relying on him seem sowhat unreliable. Besides, with the other’s high martial arts skills, if he truly intended to stop him from leaving, Celestial Master Zhang, who was no match for a chicken, wouldn’t stand a chance at escaping. He had made up his mind; if there was an opportunity, he should make a run for it.
So, he started moving slowly, one step, two steps, three steps...
"Crunch, crunch!"
The dry leaves on the ground emitted a crisp sound with every step he took. Celestial Master Zhang was extrely frightened in his heart. These damned leaves, usually not botherso, now he wished he could sweep them all away to prevent making any noise that might wake the Weirdo resting against the tree trunk with his eyes closed.
