Seeing Su Dieyi leave, the black-feathered chicken got up and came over to Chen Nan. "Su Xiaoniu went alone… she shouldn't be in danger, right?"
"There's always a fart-sized risk. She's not some energy-saving lamp, you know. Just go to sleep. That girl will be back soon. And don't ask anything, or she'll get smug. When she can't hold back anymore, she'll tell us herself. The result…" Chen Nan said to the black-feathered chicken, Ye Yiyi, and the others.
The two women laughed, while Zhao Han was speechless. They all fell into quiet contemplation.
After a while, Su Dieyi returned, landing gracefully where she had left, a faint look of pride on her face.
She glanced at Chen Nan and the others, who seemed dazed and lost in thought. They showed slight surprise and coughed deliberately, but she noticed nothing.
Night passed quickly, and before anyone realized it, it was morning.
The triangular-eyed young man had already prepared breakfast and brought it over. Chen Nan and the others ate heartily, but Su Dieyi hesitated multiple times.
Halfway through her meal, she finally couldn't hold back. Her chopsticks dropped to the floor. "Alright, I give up. I can tell you what happened last night."
Seeing so many people covering their faces in laughter, Su Dieyi felt even more disheartened.
"Last night, I overheard Tao Zun and Tie Zun talking about us. Tie Zun said we were a bunch of fat sheep and should wait for the right moment to employ some sort of hypnotic trick. First, control yourself, then gradually slow things down, then control others… and finally, follow the clues…"
Su Dieyi looked somewhat puzzled.
"The Taoist said we were just poor folks eating too much—especially the black-feathered chicken… haha, at this rate, all the treasures in their cave will be gone."
"They argued endlessly, but I didn't catch the result. Anyway, those humans and monsters were clearly confused by some mysterious hallucination technique. Their words were boring, so I came back."
Su Dieyi spread her hands.
"These two old guys were indeed uneasy, but their intentions were good. Still, they made a simple matter incredibly complicated. Strange. I could've dealt with them directly. Honestly, I almost wanted to find an excuse to kill them. That would be so satisfying. I'm really curious to see how powerful his mysterious magic truly is."
Chen Nan's expression revealed desire.
His will was firm. Even the ghostly magical aura that had unsettled him earlier was absorbed by Hua Guzi. Faced with such things, he was naturally confident.
"Looks like we'll need some extra fries for lunch today," Chen Nan said with a sly smile, causing the black-feathered chicken to shiver in fear.
Master Ji knew exactly how many ways Chen Nan could punish someone.
After finishing their meal, the triangular-eyed young man voluntarily took Chen Nan out to explore the cave.
Not long after they stepped out, Chen Nan looked sorrowfully at the young man. "Brother… there's something I've been hiding from you. Last night, Tao Zun and Di Zun were so kind, I couldn't bring myself to speak. But today, I really have to tell you."
The triangular-eyed youth was startled. "Brother, we're siblings, naturally close. Whatever it is, tell me. Could I, as your elder, harm you?"
He patted his chest reassuringly.
"Actually… I have an adopted son and a close brother. They're in my spatial treasure. Yesterday, with so many people around, I didn't want to reveal them. But today, with the elder and the two gluttonous masters being so considerate, I feel I cannot be stingy with my brother and adopted son."
Chen Nan said this seriously.
The triangular-eyed youth studied Chen Nan carefully, as if trying to figure out another spatial treasure. Realizing his curiosity was impolite, he quickly nodded. "Indeed, brothers shouldn't be stingy, even with relatives."
"Since elder brother insists, I'll let my adopted son and brother come out. They've been hungry for two days. Today at noon, they can eat their fill."
Chen Nan waved his hand. Before the young man could react, the little boy and the magical slave—already under Chen Nan's instructions—appeared.
They stood beside Chen Nan, one on the left, the other on the right.
"What adorable little ones! Brother Chen is so lucky. This brother looks very demonic—seems like a formidable creature. Not bad."
The triangular-eyed youth grinned at the magical slave but felt uneasy. Its soul was an ancient demon spirit, and its body a Hell King's vessel—extremely prestigious. Not even a Mid-Star King or a Great Star King would face it without fear.
"This is good, but they eat so much. If it weren't for the gluttonous family's wealth, the young generation wouldn't dare let them out."
Chen Nan chuckled lightly.
The triangular-eyed youth was shocked at how much the little boy and magical slave could eat and nearly fell over. Hastily, he tried to cover his embarrassment. "Easier said than done!"
Regaining composure, the youth recalled what the two gluttonous masters had said and asked Chen Nan: "Brother Chen, in our cave—the three great cultivation halls of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—plus countless treasures, all lie in Qianling Mountain, where a thousand demons gather. Yet no one dares act. Aren't you curious why?"
"Elder sister, don't you find it awkward when you answer your own questions?" Chen Nan silently cursed but maintained a serious expression. "Brother, please tell me!"
He looked earnest, and the triangular-eyed youth smiled mysteriously. "Have you heard of the two gluttonous overlords? They're two powerful demon clans under the Holy Demon race, tasked with establishing the Gluttonous Society to recruit talent from humans and demons. A once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. I believe it was fate for you too, so I tell you—they were impressed with you. You should express your intentions and seek their guidance. When the time is right, your soul will easily enter the human cultivation hall."
Seeing Chen Nan thoughtful, the youth continued: "Join the Gluttonous Club. At the right time, you'll gain immense training resources in one go. Miss it, and the chance is gone."
Chen Nan saw through the youth's scheme but nodded. He had some understanding—this Gluttonous Club was clearly a long-term plan. Let your guard down, and through hypnotic tricks, they could manipulate even allies like Su Qingqing. If she fell, they could exploit her to deceive your friends.
"Chen Nan, he's deceiving you. The Gluttonous clan has slept in the Ancient Holy Mountain for thousands of years and hasn't awakened. If it ever does, Qianling Mountain will be in turmoil. My father would surely inform me."
Chen Nan chuckled inwardly. Without the Holy Demon Clan's presence, he would've been fooled.
"Papa, I'm hungry," the little boy said, patting his stomach.
The demon slave's stomach rumbled as well.
Chen Nan looked at the triangular-eyed youth's dismayed expression and chuckled. "The show is about to begin."
The youth, though frustrated, could not ignore the little boy and magical slave's demands. After all, they had boasted so much earlier. He laughed, "Fortunately, the two Great Saints had me prepare extra food today. Little one, magical companion, I'll take you to eat."
The triangular-eyed youth led Chen Nan, the little boy, and the magical slave to a cave.
No sooner had they sat down than the demons brought the food.
The little boy sniffed and, instantly, the food turned to ash, disappearing without a trace.
The humans, monsters, and triangular-eyed youth were all dumbfounded.
"Brother, sorry, my adopted son eats too well…" Chen Nan said regretfully.
But in his mind, it was as if he were a mirror. The little boy drank a sip, erasing all Mid-Star Kings, let alone this food.
The next moment, the little boy eagerly grabbed the triangular-eyed youth's leg. "I want to eat, I want to eat…"
