As night fell, a three-story wooden building was built on the empty ground. The wooden building was relatively large, but it was very exquisite. The stairs, balcony, and roof were all made very meticulously and sturdily.
The bottom of the building was supported by eight tree trunks that were inserted into the ground. The adjacent tree trunks were connected by smaller tree trunks. Every floor was extremely sturdy. When Xiao Chen and the others stepped on it, the wooden building did not shake at all.
Such a sturdy wooden building was built for long-term living. After all, the Deity Sea often had strong winds. If the wooden building was not sturdy, it would easily be blown down by the strong winds.
There were three floors, and each floor had a hall and four rooms. It was enough for four women, a child, and an old man to live in. Even if Xiao Chen, Xue Wuhen, and Xiao Haoran came in the future, it would be enough for them to live in. If Xiao Chen and the others were not a match for the Demonic Divine King in the future, then this island would be a place for them to live in seclusion.
As long as there is life, there is hope.
If Xiao Chen and the others were not a match for the Demonic Divine King at all, then there was no need for them to fight the Demonic Divine King. Only fools would throw away their lives, unless there was a reason.
A hero could save the world, but if the hero was not strong enough, then the hero would become a joke.
Xiao Chen and the others fought for the Huangshen Continent as much as they could. If they were not strong enough, then there was nothing they could do. They could only retreat and come back to defeat the demons when they were strong enough.
"Crackle, crackle."
A bonfire was burning, and there were more than ten roasted meat beside it. There were wild beasts, wild beasts, fish, and sea beasts. Da Huang really went into the sea to catch four fish and four sea beasts.
Among the four sea beasts, there was a seahorse, two sea snakes, and a walrus. The seahorse was the weakest, equivalent to a first-class wild beast. The sea snake was the middle, equivalent to a second-class wild beast. The walrus was the strongest and the largest, equivalent to a third-class wild beast. It was about the same size as the Lion King.
Killing so many prey was a piece of cake for the eighth-class wild beast king Da Huang. Although Da Huang was not good at swimming, his strength was there. Even if he fought in the sea, he could use 90% of his strength. It was very easy for him to catch some low-level sea beasts.
Xiao Chen was a powerful warrior. After spending most of the day in the house, he immediately started the tedious work of roasting meat at night. He did not look tired at all and was full of energy. He was in a good mood. He felt that as a man, he should do all the physical work.
Zhu Qingmei and the others wanted to help Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen firmly rejected them. They could only watch happily as Xiao Chen busied himself. From time to time, they would wipe the sweat off Xiao Chen's forehead and face. Then, they would sit on the wooden stools and chairs nearby and wait for the meat to be cooked.
When Xiao Chen was building the wooden house, he specially made a few big wooden tables and chairs, as well as six large beds. As for the wooden cabinets, he did not have the time to make them. Sha Buried Heaven said that he would slowly make them in the future. After all, he had plenty of time in the future.
"Done! Let's eat! "With a shout from Xiao Chen, the dozen pieces of roasted meat were cooked. They were ready to eat immediately.
"Hualala."
The Yellow Dog and the Golden Roc were already drooling. When they heard Xiao Chen say that the roasted meat was ready, they started drooling. They did not care that the meat was still boiling hot. Without waiting for Xiao Chen to take the meat for them, they grabbed a large piece of roasted meat with their mouths and ran to the side to eat.
"These two fellas, haha!" When Xiao Chen saw how impatient his two good brothers were, he could not help but laugh out loud. He also took a sea snake and a roasted mole. He walked over to the group and placed the roasted meat on the wooden table.
Usually, snakes and mole were delicacies. Martial artists had no qualms about eating any kind of meat, as long as it was not poisonous. Initially, Dongfang Qingwu and Liu Ruyue did not dare to eat snakes and mole. However, after having it once, they immediately fell in love with roasted snakes and mole.
Since there was roasted meat, there was a need for fine wine. Xiao Chen took out several dozen jars of fine wine from his storage ring and stored them in one of the rooms in the wooden house. He wanted to leave them for Sha Buried Heaven to drink as he lived on the island. This was specially prepared by Xiao Chen for Sha Buried Heaven.
"Let's drink a little tonight, hehe."
Xiao Chen took out the last jar of fine wine from his storage ring and began to pour wine for the group. The bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, and meat cleavers were already prepared. The table was not crowded at all for the six of them. Hsiao Zhixuan, who had just drunk her mother's milk, was sleeping soundly on the soft and warm fur of the small wooden bed. Her sleeping posture was extremely adorable.
"Cheers."
The group raised their glasses and clinked them gently. Apart from Zhu Qingmei, who tasted the fine wine, the others, including Dongfang Qingwu, who did not drink much, emptied the small glass of wine.
"This is bad. Qingwu is feeling a little dizzy. Am I drunk from just one glass of wine?" After drinking the glass of wine, Dongfang Qingwu immediately felt as if her body was floating. Her head was not working well either. It seemed that she really could not hold her liquor.
"Ahaha!"
When the group saw Dongfang Qingwu's flushed face, they knew that she was not pretending to be drunk. They could not help but laugh kindly. Xiao Chen personally cut a piece of sea snake meat and placed it in Dongfang Qingwu's bowl. He said with concern, "Qingwu, quickly eat some meat to fill your stomach. It's easy to get drunk if you drink on an empty stomach. Don't drink so much if you can't drink."
"Huh? I'm in a good mood, so … "Dongfang Qingwu said, feeling a little embarrassed. She quickly picked up the grilled meat and ate it. After eating a few mouthfuls, she did not feel as drunk as before.
At that moment, she realized that the grilled sea snake meat tasted great. She could not help but say in surprise, "Wow, this sea snake meat is so delicious and chewy. You guys try it too. Yes, it's delicious. It has a unique flavor."
"Is that so?"
Seeing how Dongfang Qingwu was enjoying the meat, everyone was tempted. Their appetites were whetted. Xiao Chen immediately cut the meat and distributed it to everyone. The group picked up the grilled sea snake meat and ate it. They immediately agreed with Dongfang Qingwu's evaluation of the grilled sea snake meat.
When everyone was half full, Sha Zang Tian talked to Xiao Chen about business. "Xiao Chen, when do you plan to return to the Barren City?"
When they heard Sha Zang Tian's question, no one was in the mood to continue eating. They put down the grilled meat in their hands and looked at Xiao Chen. They wanted to hear Xiao Chen's decision.
Liu Ruyue and the others naturally hoped that Xiao Chen would stay for a few more days. However, one could not be too selfish. Xiao Chen still had many things to do. It would be best for him to return to the Barren God Continent as soon as possible.
When faced with such a serious question, Xiao Chen thought about it. He scanned the group and said seriously, "I plan to leave tomorrow morning. I'm worried about Uncle Haoran and Big Brother Xue, so I have to return as soon as possible. Also, when I return, I must find my grandfather, Xiao Batian. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse."
"Mmm, it's better to return as soon as possible. We've been separated from Chief Brother Xue for almost a month. I wonder how they're doing."
Sha Zang Tian had a serious expression as well. When he thought about the possibility of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons opening, his expression became extremely serious. He added solemnly, "I hope the Battlefield of Gods and Demons hasn't opened yet. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire. After all, we don't have a demigod powerhouse among us. With your and Chief Brother Xue's talents, it'll be enough if you can stay here for another twenty to thirty years."
"No one can be sure about this. Many things happen very suddenly in this world. We can't predict it or stop it. We can only face it bravely."
Xiao Chen was fearless. He had been on the brink of life and death several times in the past. He was not even afraid of death, so why would he be afraid of the opening of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons? However, he had too many responsibilities now. He could not keep risking his life. He could not lose his fighting spirit. It was important to protect himself.
"Xiao Chen, help me …" Ouyang Yufeng wanted to say something but stopped. She was worried about her man, Xue Wuhen. She wanted to ask Xiao Chen to pass a message to Xue Wuhen. However, she was too embarrassed to say it, so she swallowed it.
"Mmm?"
Xiao Chen looked at Ouyang Yufeng, who looked a little embarrassed. He thought about it and guessed what she was thinking. Therefore, he said seriously, "Sister Yufeng, don't worry. When I see Big Brother Xue, I'll definitely pass on your thoughts. I'll also send a messenger eagle to tell you that I'm safe."
