Chapter 34
The Cooking Skill of Xu Yuan
Su Wan moved around while she waited for the Lords’ response.
Xu Yuan opened his eyes. The eye on his chest also opened a crack. ‘True Eye of the Demon Dragon has such a wonderful use?’
Su Wan’s plan, in his opinion, was a touch clumsy. She knew nothing about the Lords, so why did she think they would support her?
Furthermore, the Alliance would disintegrate on its own after it was established and the other Lords were vanquished, and everyone would battle for supremacy.
Everyone in the Alliance would undoubtedly be hiding their abilities and making no effort during this time. They would hold off on disclosing their secret weapons until the final battle for first place.
Therefore, Xu Yuan had tried to use his ability, True Eye of the Demon Dragon, to look around other Lords’ territories.
He found out that the True Eye of the Demon could see through illusions and time itself. It could even help him see the surrounding places through the dark shadows.
It was just like the ability of the Demon Dragon wings, which allowed Xu Yuan to travel from one dark shadow to another.
The True Eye of the Demon Dragon was similar. As long as there were dark shadows within a certain range, Xu Yuan could use the ability and see and hear everything in that area.
“I knew this Overlord wasn’t reliable!” Xu Yuan lazily stretched on the ground and fell asleep.
Su Wan usually thought Xu Yuan was unreliable but she didn’t know that he thought she was unreliable.
…
The three Lords eventually sent their messengers with a reply.
Su Wan was still organizing. Her desire was to catch a distant glimpse of the three-headed bird flying over as a Messenger.
“Swish!”
The three-headed bird shrieked, but before it could deliver the message, a loud buzz woke up Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan activated the Demon Dragon Wings and appeared beside the three-headed bird in the sky from a dark shadow.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Xu Yuan grabbed the three-headed bird by the neck.
“Let me go! I am only here to deliver the messages from the Lords. They are ready to form an alliance!”
The three-headed bird flapped its wings desperately. However, no matter how the three-headed bird struggled, it could not break free from the dragon’s claws.
“You are noisy. You are disturbing my sleep” Xu Yuan was in a bad mood.
The three-headed bird became agitated when it looked into Xu Yuan’s eyes. He sensed that something terrible was about to occur. It had good instincts.
After some time had passed, the Skeleton Knights informed Su Wan about the three-headed bird’s arrival with the intention to forge an alliance.
Su Wan put her strategies on hold. immediately put down the plan in her hand. She had high self-esteem and high ambitions for the future.
“It’s their messenger, right?”
Su Wan was delighted that they were willing to form an alliance. If they weren’t interested, they wouldn’t have sent a messenger in the first place.
Su Wan sprang up and headed for the valley’s entrance.
At this time, Su Wan smelled barbecue.
“Eh? Xu Yuan? Aren’t you sleeping? This is the first time I have seen you awake and doing something else.”
Xu Yuan was roasting something on the fire rack.
For Su Wan, who had only ever seen Xu Yuan sleeping, this was a miracle! Xu Yuan was actually roasting and cooking!
“Lazy Xu, have you finally overcome your laziness?”
Su Wan guessed that these changes in Xu Yuan were a result of his recent evolution. He grew dragon wings, and then the dragon horns. Then, the twelve balls of energy appeared behind him. Xu Yuan was gradually evolving and even his laziness was diminishing.
“What are you roasting? Can I try one?” Su Wan grabbed the roasted leg from the rack. “Hehe, this leg is mine! You always trick me, this time I am going to snatch the juicy roasted leg right from your hands and eat it!”
Xu Yuan was very generous today. He didn’t get annoyed at her but just picked up another roasted leg to eat.
Su Wan had expected him to get angry at it but he was indifferent. She was a little disappointed. But she brushed it away, picked up a roasted leg and bit a piece of meat from the roasted leg.
“Oh!”
“This tastes excellent! Your cooking skills are amazing, Fraud Xu.” Su Wan took another bite. “No. When I think about it, your cooking skills are subpar, I think the meat itself is delicious, that’s it tastes divine.”
Su Wan was about to ask him about the origin of the meat. Xu Yuan smiled as he chewed on another roasted leg.
“This is the meat of that three-headed bird I found.”
“Oh? It is indeed very delicious…” Su Wan’s face froze when she realized what he had said. “Wait… what?! The three-headed bird?!”
Su Wan remembered the letter her Skeleton Knight messenger had brought back. The three Lords had written that they would discuss the matter and send her a messenger soon to plan out the details.
The messenger was a bird with three heads.
“Xu Yuan, did the bird say anything about forming an alliance with us?” Su Wan’s voice trembled.
Xu Yuan was full now. He yawned. “Alliance? I was asleep and the bird disturbed me.” He smacked his lips as he ate.
Su Wan’s face turned pale. She couldn’t rely on Xu Yuan’s words, so she called the Golden Behemoth to ask him.
The information she got confirmed her suspicions. The three-headed bird had disturbed Xu Yuan’s sleep, so he had killed it and roasted it.
“Xu Yuan!!!” Su Wan roared at him. Her face was red in anger.
It had not been easy for her to contact the three Lords and suggest forming an alliance. But in the end, Xu Yuan had tricked her again!
Xu Yuan had gotten used to her roars. She burped and went back to sleep.
…
“Oh?”
The three-headed bird opened its eyes and awoke in its own territory. It was confused.
“Did I die?”
It realized that it had indeed been killed and the Overlords had used their resources to resurrect it.
The Lord asked angrily, “Number 77, how did you die?”
Number 77 of the three-headed bird army turned its head around and told its Lord about Xu Yuan in tears.
“What? How dare they eat the messenger I sent?”
“What kind of attitude is this? Is Su Wan mad? First, she says she wants to form an alliance and then this! Does she really want an alliance or not?’
The other two Lords gave it some thought. One of them said, “Is there a possibility that she found out about our plan to pretend to form an alliance? Maybe that’s why she had our messenger killed.”
The three Lords discussed it for a while. The more they thought about it, the more likely they felt this to be true.
“Why don’t we all go and eliminate her first?”
The three Lords discussed in secret and made their final decision.
