Chapter 378: Celestial Decay
Seeing how they were flying through the air, Jian Chen couldn’t help but feel excited. The power of flight was something he would soon be able to achieve. Since he was able to control the elements in the world with his mind, flying would not be a problem for him. He just hadn’t discovered the trick yet. Given some time and experimentation, then he would be able to attain flight just like the Heaven Saint Masters.
Slowly closing his eyes, Jian Chen began to feel for the wind elements surrounding him and began to figure out the trick to flying and to increase the speed.
Flying seemed simple, but there were many significant details to be learned first. It required constant practice in order to excel at it. Otherwise, if a beginner student were to try to fly a hundred meters in the air and was hit by a sudden gust of wind, he would be unable to control his flight.
The speed they were flying at was extremely fast. It didn’t take long for Jian Chen and the man to return to the valley. It was noon by now and smoke could be seen spiralling up from the village. At least five men could be seen scurrying around the village in preparation.
The middle-aged man didn’t bother to hide their entrance and pulled both Jian Chen and the carcass of the Bloodwolf King to the center of the village before slowing down.
“Hey, Xiu Mi has returned…”
“Xiu Mi has brought back another large magical beast….”
“Haha, it seems that the village won’t be able to finish this much meat. With such a large wolf, who knows just how long it’ll take…”
“Ai, Xiu Mi always brings back such a fearsome beast for the village. He has always done the greatest contributions for the sake of our village…”
As everyone began to show up, they all looked toward fatty’s father with looks of undisguised worship and admiration. There was no shock at all from seeing the two fly back, it was almost as if it was a regular sight.
The father let out a laughing smile before replying back to everyone enthusiastically. There was no hint of arrogance normally seen in a Heaven Saint Master and just kindness instead.
“Xiu Mi, you are too amazing. It doesn’t take much thought to know that this wolf was extremely strong, but you killed it easily.” One of the men laughed.
The man shook his head, “Everyone misunderstands… this magical beast wasn’t-”
As the middle-aged man spoke, Jian Chen cut in abruptly, “Uncle, let’s hurry up and divide up the Bloodwolf King. The fresher it is, the better it will taste.”
Fatty’s father laughed, “Fine fine, Da Zhuang, go and find some of the more able bodied men to skin the carcass and divide up the meat.”
“You got it!” The man responded enthusiastically before gathering up the men.
“Woah, dad, you brought back another big magical beast!” A cordial voice could be heard from behind as a muddy fatty could be seen walking with a hoe in hand. He must have returned from tilling the fields with his grandfather.
Without any further explanation, the father took Jian Chen back to eat a meal after greeting everyone.
The meal had been cooked by fatty’s mother. She looked no older than thirty years old and was spectacular in appearance. There was the grand air of a noble about her, and despite the common clothing she was wearing, it did nothing to hide her mannerisms. It didn’t take more than a single look to figure out that she wasn’t raised from the village.
Sitting at the table with the family of four, Jian Chen began to eat. The meal was rather simple and consisted of vegetables they grew themselves.
The grandfather of fatty gave a deep look to Jian Chen before smiling, “Youngster, come to the cornfields with me for a while later. There’s a plot of land that requires cultivating.”
“Grandfather, Jian Chen only just healed. Why would you make him do manual labor? Wait for dad and I to finish planting the cabbages, we’ll help you then.” There was a complaint to be heard from fatty, showing that he was clearly dissatisfied from his grandfather asking Jian Chen to do some farming.
