CHAPTER 827: CHAPTER 761 LUXURY

When Ye Chen’s words were heard, Miss Ke’er exclaimed with surprise, her pretty face quickly turning a lovely shade of red, revealing a hint of panic.

The other three men and two women quickly stepped forward, tightly protecting Miss Ke’er behind them.

Despite their fear and dread towards Ye Chen, and fear of the Gray Dragon, at this moment, they at least acted bravely and didn’t abandon Miss Ke’er.

Perhaps it was out of admiration towards her from the three men, but at least they could stand up courageously.

The two women sheltered Miss Ke’er behind them even more, though their cultivation was weaker than Miss Ke’er’s, they were quite brave.

Ye Chen greatly appreciated the attitudes of these people. In the face of calamity, every one usually flees individually, a typical mindset, but these people understood the importance of sticking together and did not abandon their companions. He chuckled lightly: "Everyone doesn’t need to be tense, I was just joking just now, without any malicious intent, so please don’t take it to heart. Let’s all sit down, taste the fresh meat, and have a chat."

Although Ye Chen said so, the group was still very cautious, causing Ye Chen to shake his head helplessly and proceeded to roast the meat without paying them further attention.

He directly skinned the Black-Scaled Giant Python, revealing its huge, translucent snake meat.

With sword fingers combined, Sword Radiance swiftly sliced off pieces of the crystal-clear flesh, refined by Ye Chen’s Blood Qi, removing all potential killing intent, and using the thick snake bones from the Black-Scaled Giant Python to string the meat, burning it over the Dao Fire — it was sheer indulgence to the extreme.

Moreover, he took out a Pill Ding — yes, a Pill Ding, which was a Medicine Tripod used for Alchemy, but he set it up on the Glazed Divine Fire and poured in lustrous Divine Spring water, tossing considerable snake meat in it.

Stewing soup.

Witnessing this, their scalp tingled, never having seen someone so wasteful.

Especially the snakeskin covered with pieces of black scales, incredibly sturdy, so much that even their combined attacks couldn’t easily damage it. It could be refined into extraordinarily solid Battle Armor, defenses that even Super Divinity Transformation couldn’t easily break, yet Ye Chen casually discarded it as trash by the side.

Even the Nine Great Empires might not dare to be so extravagant.

The few people watched with envy, truly wishing to snatch it, but with Ye Chen right before them, none dared to act.

Ye Chen smiled: "If you don’t mind, feel free to take it. I’m not interested and don’t plan to keep it."

Indeed, for Ye Chen, the mere snakeskin and python armor of the Black-Scaled Giant Python were insignificant.

But the more it was so, the more extraordinary Ye Chen’s mysteriousness seemed.

Not caring about even such python armor, who exactly was this mysterious young man?

After the initial unease, Miss Ke’er noticed the clarity and purity in his eyes, without any ulterior intent, and quietly settled her mind. With a gentle smile, her glistening teeth showing, she said: "Hello, sir, I’m Lin Ke’er, and these are my friends. Thank you very much for your rescue earlier; I am truly grateful."

She thanked him again, and Ye Chen didn’t tease further, merely nodding slightly with a smile: "Miss Ke’er, please don’t take it to heart. Seeing injustice, I draw my blade to aid. Besides, you are so stunningly beautiful that any man would want to heroically save a damsel."

Listening to his gallant words, Miss Ke’er’s face flushed with heat, and the three young men beside her felt a chill in their hearts.

Initially, they all pursued Lin Ke’er, never expecting a Cheng Yaojin — what a formidable Cheng Yaojin — to emerge out of nowhere.

Ye Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "Everyone, please sit down. I have no ill intention towards you, no need to be worried, let’s taste the roasted meat of the Black-Scaled Giant Python together."

He casually roasted, the golden glass Dao Fire blazing fiercely, recklessly grilling the crystal-clear flesh of the Black-Scaled Giant Python, sizzling and crackling, with plenty of seasonings sprinkled upon it, making the aroma increasingly rich and intoxicatingly wonderful.

Watching Ye Chen refine and sprinkle precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and other spiritual essence onto the snake meat, they all gasped in astonishment, truly opulent beyond belief. In a lifetime, they had never seen such a scene.

Even the major forces behind them wouldn’t dare to so recklessly waste Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Who exactly was this mysterious young man before them?

Though uncertain of his true strength, and never having seen him act, the Gray Dragon’s absolute submission indicated that he was undoubtedly a supremely powerful figure.

As everyone sat down, Miss Ke’er blinked her bright eyes lightly, softly asking: "Sir, how should we address you?"

"My name is Qian!"

Ye Chen laughed, stating the name from his past life, this name, as resoundingly well-known as his title, Combat Saint King.

"Qian?" The six of them exchanged glances, each slightly confused, never having heard of this name.

The other three men and two women briefly introduced themselves, followed by Miss Ke’er asking softly: "Young Master Qian, with your strength, I suppose you are one of the most outstanding elites across the Ancient God Continent. Yet, we have never heard of your name. Are you perhaps the reclusive Crown Prince of the nine great empires, honing yourself in the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain, preparing for the battle of supremacy among the younger generation half a year later to emerge as the foremost?"

Lin Ke’er was very curious, and the others equally so. By logic, to subdue someone as powerful as the Gray Dragon as a servant, he must be an unparalleled Heavenly Pride, bound to be renowned across the world, yet, this young nobleman claiming to be "Qian" was unheard of.

Ye Chen naturally couldn’t say he was from beyond the Ancient Emperor Realm, that was a secret, not to be revealed, so he had already prepared a response to inquiries about his origin.

He claimed that since childhood, he had been taken by his Master to cultivate in deep mountains, not appearing in the world and kept in isolation for training until recently, emerging only after being abandoned by his Master, tasked to venture out from the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain for experience, before participating in the Ancient God Continent’s battle for supremacy among the younger generation half a year later.

Indeed, the few deeply believed his words. Perhaps they couldn’t believe he was someone from beyond this world.

Upon understanding Ye Chen’s circumstances, they instantly realized why he was so powerful. Brought into the Divine Mountain since young to cultivate, never appearing, untouched by worldly matters, possessing an innocent heart — it’s the optimal path for cultivation.

Moreover, they were deeply curious about Ye Chen’s mysterious Master.

Ye Chen smoothly inquired about various information on the Ancient Emperor Realm from the six, which they revealed to him.
