"Considering you treated me to such a delicious meal, I’ll share a little secret with you," Feng Chuchu chuckled, leaning in while gesturing for Qin Muge to lean in too.

Driven by curiosity, Qin Muge indeed leaned in closer.

Feng Chuchu seemed thrilled to share her information, whispering sneakily, "Hehe, I heard that a beast in the Spirit Beast Sect suddenly mutated and went on a rampage. The sect has completely lost control now, with the once-tamed beasts also breaking free and attacking human cultivators in a frenzy."

"What? Is this really happening?" Qin Muge’s pupils contracted, his face full of shock, "How could such a thing occur suddenly? Beast mutation, how is that even possible?"

As everyone knows, although beasts are formidable, the chance of mutation is almost zero.

This is akin to a sudden nuclear leak, where mutation just isn’t that easy without external stimuli.

Moreover, if one mutated beast has rendered the entire Spirit Beast Sect defenseless, just how terrifying has it become?

"Hehe, did you not know? Many speculate that some extraordinary treasure might have appeared in the Spirit Beast Sect, causing the beast mutation. This time, our Wan Jian Villa..."

As she spoke, Feng Chuchu suddenly remembered she was still a hostage, immediately sitting up straight and declaring seriously, "Hmph, I’m a hostage, why should I tell you all this?"

Then she buried her head in her food once more.

The way she wolfed down the food definitely didn’t give off the slightest lady-like demeanor.

Moreover, before Ye Guichen and Qin Muge could even pick up their chopsticks, more than half the dishes on the table were already gone.

Judging by Feng Chuchu’s manner, she still wasn’t full.

Is she a pig?

Ye Guichen was speechless.

Still, he had a general understanding of the situation.

Unusual treasures may have appeared in the Spirit Beast Sect, leading to the beast mutation.

It’s highly likely that the people from Wan Jian Villa plan to investigate, and if possible, acquire that anomaly.

Given this, probably quite a few have heard the news.

Yet, just at this time, the Xuanyin Sect is recruiting disciples heavily; could this have anything to do with the Spirit Beast Sect?

Ye Guichen pondered but couldn’t come up with a conclusive thought.

Returning to the Spirit Beast Sect to have a look would suffice; overthinking was unnecessary.

Lightly shaking his head, as Ye Guichen prepared to eat, he suddenly noticed the food on the table had been completely eaten up.

"This..." Ye Guichen glanced at Feng Chuchu, watching her contently pat her mouth and her rounded belly, with a totally satisfied look: "Delicious, truly delicious."

Ye Guichen: "..."

Qin Muge: "..."

Inwardly, Qin Muge couldn’t help but muse: Who would have thought this pretty girl could eat so much, lucky I didn’t get involved, or she’d probably eat up our entire Daqian Dynasty!

Hua Nu’s attention wasn’t on Feng Chuchu.

He naturally also heard what Feng Chuchu had said, slightly frowning, with a thoughtful expression.

While pondering, Hua Nu also observed Ye Guichen.

Up till now, Hua Nu found himself unable to read the young man before him.

Whether in terms of cultivation or background, there was an air of profound mystery.

Who exactly is this person?

The more enigmatic he appeared, the more unsettled Hua Nu felt.

The best course would be to keep a distance, because considering his master’s intellect, they might get outsmarted without realizing it.

Moreover, given the current situation, since Ye Guichen has drawn the attention of the Wan Jian Villa, even if they come knocking, they could still retreat safely.
