Path to Immortality Begins With Marriage-Chapter 144: Urge to “devour”

A short moment before Sebastian had arrived at the wedding venue...

While sitting upright and with a fork and knife in her hands, Feng Xue could be seen focused on cutting up steaks, drumsticks, and wings into various chunks and slices.

Looking at the front of Feng Xue, there were 2 plates, where 1 of the plates was used by her to cut the food that she had took, and the other plate was used to pile up the chunks and slices of meat that she had cut up.

Because Feng Xue felt that it wasn’t satisfying to eat so slowly, whereby she had to cut up a chunk or slice of meat every time she took a bite...

She decided to pile up everything that she had cut up onto another plate, and once she felt that she had piled up enough meat chunks and slices onto the plate, she will finally begin eating!

At the start, when Ning Zhi saw what her direct disciple was doing, the corner of Ning Zhi’s couldn’t help but twitch a few times, however, in the end, Ning Zhi didn’t say anything toward Feng Xue’s action as Feng Xue was doing what she was doing while still maintaining her table manners.

However, as time passed by...

When Ning Zhi saw that the pile of meat chunks and meat slices was getting higher and higher, Ning Zhi finally couldn’t hold back her temper as she smacked her left palm onto Feng Xue’s head, then said coldly yet sternly, "Feng Xue. Are you purposely trying to piss me off or something?"

Meanwhile, right as Ning Zhi smacked onto Feng Xue’s head, Feng Xue immediately let go of her fork and knife, then cried out in pain as she held onto her head with both of her hands.

"Ow! What did I do wrong this time?! Also, master, can you not always smack me on my head?"

Upon speaking up to here, Feng Xue began rubbing her head with her left palm as she grumbled while looking at her master with a look of grievance.

"I’m already short enough, do you know that! If you keep on smacking me on my head, I won’t be able to grow taller!"

"Also, now that I think about it! The reason that I stopped growing taller is all because of you! Ever since you became my master, my height had been stuck at 162 cm!"

Upon speaking up to here and seeing that her master wasn’t saying anything and was just remaining silent while staring at her...

Feng Xue decided to push her luck and get her master to buy her something that she had her eyes on for months already.

After crossing her arms, Feng Xue began speaking with a smug look on her face.

"I don’t care! You have to make it up to me!"

"I heard that, a few months ago, Fairness Trade had obtained a tier 4 magical fruit, and that this tier 4 magical fruit is able to help increase one’s figure, complexion, and height!"

"And because of how costly this tier 4 magical fruit is... Up till now, this tier 4 magical fruit still hasn’t been sold yet!"

"Master, if you are willing to buy this fruit for me, I won’t mind forgiving you for causing my height to..."

Before Feng Xue was able to finish speaking...

Ning Zhi already had enough of listening to the nonsense that was coming out from her disciple’s mouth, and thus, without any hesitation, Ning Zhi covered her left fist with spiritual energy, then began giving a hard knock onto Feng Xue’s head.

"Ow! You are hitting..."

And when Ning Zhi saw that Feng Xue still wasn’t intending on remaining quiet after she had given Feng Xue a knock onto her head, Ning Zhi gave a few more knocks onto Feng Xue’s head.

"Ow, ow, ow!"

"Alright, alright! I was just kidding with you, master!"

With the corner of her mouth twitching... Ning Zhi remained silent for a few seconds, then said sternly while glaring at Feng Xue, "Start eating the food that you have been piling up on another plate and stop cutting up anymore meat!"

"If that’s what you wanted me to do, you could have just said so from the start, what need was there in using violence..."

With her lips pouted, Feng Xue grumbled in a low voice as protest against her master, seemingly as if she had already forgotten the knocks that she had just received from her master.

"Calm down, Ning Zhi... Calm down... This brat is after all your disciple... No point in getting angry..."

"It’s all because she’s still young... When she gets older and becomes mature, she will definitely become sensible like her senior sisters..."

While staring coldly at her disciple, Ning Zhi began muttering to herself in her own mind, so that she would be able to hold herself back from chiding loudly at her disciple and in thus making a scene at the wedding venue.

However, just a short moment after Feng Xue had began eating the chunks and slices of meat that she had cut up...

Feng Xue suddenly felt that the spiritual energy within her body was beginning to surge frantically throughout her entire body, followed by an extremely strange feeling that she has never felt before emerging from her body.

This extremely strange feeling...

If Feng Xue herself had to explain it...

It was as if her entire body was burning with a kind of strong emotion which was in turn causing her to have the urge to "devour" onto the "certain thing" that was responsible for causing this strong emotion to appear within her body.

As the urge to "devour" appeared within her body, Feng Xue ended up choking onto her food for a moment due to being absentminded for a moment while she was chewing onto the meat chunks and meat slice that she had stuffed into her mouth.

"Cough, cough..."
