Chapter 104: You Can Never Escape the Law of True Fragrance
Xue Xiao and Huang Hui were both at a high level, so they traveled quickly and arrived at the Space-Time Gate Base in no time.
After passing through the gate, they returned to the Xiang City base.
---
Upon arrival, Xue Xiao immediately gathered the Longteng Army and sent a message to her parents.
Meanwhile, Huang Hui took out his phone, sent a report to his teacher, and explained his concerns and observations, ensuring that all details were covered.
---
Soon, Xue Xiao received a response from her father, Xue Tanxin.
---
[That kid did ask your mother and me to prepare some trump cards for him, and we were more than happy to oblige.]
[You know how he is—always competitive, never asks for help. Since he requested it this time, we went all out and gave him a few extra killer moves.]
---
After reading her parents' response, Xue Xiao's doubts faded.
She had been concerned that the intelligence report might be a trap.
But now that her parents confirmed it, the credibility of the report was no longer in question.
---
With her worries eased, Xue Xiao immediately returned to the Huotang Small World, accompanied by Huang Hui.
This time, the entire Longteng Army under her command was mobilized, and Huang Hui led a portion of the garrison forces.
The decisive battle for the fate of Huotang Small World was about to begin.
To ensure victory, they mobilized all available forces.
---
After entering the Space-Time Gate Base, Xue Xiao and Huang Hui led their forces toward the coordinates Jiang Tian had provided.
No one asked questions—they simply followed orders.
The Longteng Army and stationed regular forces moved swiftly and arrived at their destination in record time.
---
As they approached, they could already see smoke rising in the distance.
Xue Xiao and Huang Hui signaled for the troops to remain on high alert,
while they advanced ahead to scout the situation.
---
Upon arrival, they saw that someone was already there.
Wang Liuming, the guardian assigned to Jiang Tian, was sitting at a table,
happily eating.
---
Although Wang Liuming's main duty was to protect Jiang Tian,
he was also responsible for overseeing the examination area.
After receiving Jiang Tian's intelligence,
Xue Xiao and Huang Hui had immediately notified him,
ensuring that he arrived quickly to prevent any unforeseen accidents.
---
Seeing Jiang Tian still busy at the stove,
Xue Ruyan assisting him,
and Wang Liuming wholeheartedly enjoying his meal,
the two commanders instantly knew that there were no immediate threats.
---
"Oh, you're here?"
Wang Liuming looked up, noticed Xue Xiao and Huang Hui, and waved them over.
"Come quickly and try this!"
"Classmate Jiang's cooking skills are simply amazing."
"I never imagined that alien meat could taste this good."
---
Huang Hui, having already tasted Jiang Tian's dishes before,
knew exactly what to expect.
Without hesitation, he walked straight to Jiang Tian and asked for food.
---
Xue Xiao, however, hesitated.
She glanced at Wang Liuming, noticing the grease on his mouth and the soup stains on his face.
The aroma of the dish was undeniable.
Even just watching them eat so enthusiastically told her everything she needed to know.
---
Huang Hui took his bowl and stepped aside,
but not before giving Jiang Tian a knowing wink.
---
Jiang Tian understood immediately,
extinguished the flames of his blood, and turned to Xue Ruyan.
"Xue, if your aunt wants to eat, help her get a bowl. There's still plenty left."
---
"Hmm…"
Xue Ruyan nodded slightly, watching as Huang Hui and Jiang Tian walked away.
At that moment, Xue Xiao also stepped closer.
Without saying a word, Xue Ruyan filled a bowl with the freshly made beer-roasted duck and handed it to her aunt.
---
Xue Xiao frowned and shook her head.
"I'm not here to eat. There are more important matters at hand."
"I have questions for you."
---
"Aunt, we can talk while eating."
Xue Ruyan smiled, insisting as she pushed the bowl forward again.
---
Xue Xiao shook her head again.
"You know me. I'm not the type to get distracted by food."
---
Meanwhile, in the Forest—
Huang Hui walked alongside Jiang Tian,
waving his hand to create a blood-energy barrier around them.
---
"Alright, what's really going on?"
"Are the messages you sent legit?"
Huang Hui pulled out a cigar, searching his pocket for a lighter.
---
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
A small burst of blood flame ignited, lighting the cigar instantly.
"Of course it's real."
"With this hidden river, we should be able to deal a heavy blow to their forces, right?"
---
"More than a heavy blow. We're about to take the entire Huotang Small World."
Huang Hui exhaled smoke, took a bite of meat, and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
"What about the young patriarch?"
---
Jiang Tian pointed at his bowl.
"He's in there."
---
Huang Hui's hand trembled—
he almost spilled his entire bowl.
---
"Of course, most of him is already in my stomach," Jiang Tian added.
"He was delicious—and he gave me a huge boost in cultivation."
---
Huang Hui: …
---
He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
---
"Why did you cook the young patriarch?"
"Wouldn't it have been more useful to keep him alive?"
---
Jiang Tian shook his head.
"No. Teacher told me to keep my true strength hidden. He knew too much. Keeping him alive was too risky."
---
"Wait—"
Huang Hui's eyes narrowed.
"Did he see you use your full strength?"
---
Jiang Tian smirked.
"There was also a Level 4 Fire Feather Clan elder… and I beat him to death."
---
Huang Hui: …
---
He fell silent, took a deep drag of his cigar,
then exhaled slowly, staring into the distance with a melancholy expression.
---
"Just to confirm…"
"A Level 4 Fire Feather Clan elder?"
---
"Yeah, that's right."
---
Huang Hui stood still, holding his bowl in one hand,
cigar between his lips,
and deep in thought.
---
"Too abnormal, Junior Brother."
"Way too abnormal."
---
Taking a bite of the young patriarch's meat,
Huang Hui sighed to himself.
"Might as well enjoy the food."
---
Back at the Table—
When they returned, they saw Xue Xiao sitting at the table.
She had just put down her chopsticks,
let out a long sigh,
and muttered under her breath—
"It really does smell amazing."
