Chapter 30: The Masked Girl

Chu Xiaotian soon found a place with mountains and water. The creek flowed continuously, making a soothing sound, and occasionally, beasts came to drink. They would give Chu Xiaotian a cold glance and then walk away, not disturbing each other.

"Alright." Chu Xiaotian finally got to use the barbecue skills he learned from Uncle Fu. He also took out some seasonings he exchanged from the system. The barbecue filled the air with a tantalizing aroma, making it irresistible.

"What a relief, now there's no one to fight over food with me." Chu Xiaotian laughed happily, enjoying his meal alone. Back at the wilderness peak, people always snatched food from him, and the worst part was he couldn't beat them. He had thought his improved strength would let him win, but he ended up being beaten badly. He kept that grudge in his heart, planning to take revenge later.

Now that his mission from the martial arts academy was complete, he didn't plan to leave yet. He intended to train for a while before returning to the Divine Sword Academy, where he would challenge the little fatty and make him look like a pig's head. Bai Lipeak would have to wait a bit longer.

"Delicious." Upstream by the river, there was a girl with clear, bright peach blossom eyes, curved eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair skin with a faint blush, and thin lips like rose petals. She was a stunning beauty.

"It's him." The girl walked out of the river and put on her veil, heading towards Chu Xiaotian's barbecue spot. She recognized him immediately. Although she had no quarrel with him and was just a bystander, she knew he wouldn't share his roast meat with her, so there was only one option.

"Robbery." Excitement shone in the girl's bright eyes, eager to "rob" the meat.

"Who's there?" When the girl approached within fifty meters of Chu Xiaotian, his cold voice rang out, his mental power locking onto her.

"Mental power?" She was surprised by the strength of Chu Xiaotian's mental power, which had reached the level of a first-grade psychic.

"Charge!" Since she was discovered, the girl didn't bother to hide anymore. She used a high-level body technique, moving faster than sound, and covered the fifty meters in the blink of an eye.

"So fast! So mysterious!" Chu Xiaotian prepared for battle, amazed and alert.

"Whoosh!" The girl was as fast in leaving as she was in arriving.

"My roast meat?" "Stop! Give me back my roast meat!" Chu Xiaotian shouted, confused and then angry when he realized his meat was stolen. He thought he could enjoy his food alone after leaving the wilderness peak, but he had encountered a meat thief.

"Come back here!" Chu Xiaotian pursued her. He was fine with fighting, but stealing his roast meat made her his mortal enemy.

"Stop! Return my roast meat!" "You've enraged me, I'm going to kill you!" He shouted while chasing the masked girl.

The commotion attracted the attention of beasts and even humans. "Roast meat?" "Did I hear that right? Since when did roast meat become a treasure worth such a deadly pursuit?"

"Roar!" Beasts, too, were lured by the scent of the meat and joined the chase.

"Are you annoying? It's just a piece of roast meat, right? I'll give you ten in return, okay?" The masked girl, still with a beautiful voice, was slightly annoyed but continued running.

"No, you must return my roast meat if you want me to stop chasing you," Chu Xiaotian refused, not showing any mercy.

"Roar!" The beasts behind Chu Xiaotian and the masked girl were furious, launching spiritual energy attacks at them.

"Get lost!" Chu Xiaotian and the girl stopped and faced the beasts. Their eyes were like cold springs, sending a chill down the spines of the beasts, who felt an irresistible fear.

"Whoosh!" The beasts quickly fled, terrified.

"Meat thief, stop!" Chu Xiaotian's gaze became even more ferocious as he looked at the masked girl, determined to catch the meat thief.

"Slash!" In an instant, Chu Xiaotian unleashed his full strength, combining his Sword Draw Technique, sword intent, supreme suppression, and mental intimidation in a simultaneous attack.
