Chapter 207: End of the Meeting |
With the help of Wu Hong, Su Ya, Li Jun and his group, Wang Wei managed to skin the Saint Realm Golden Roc's body. Then, he used all the different spices that he has in his space ring to season the meat.
Although Wang Wei had to try different mixes before he discovered something that satisfied him, it was still worth it in the end. After finding the perfect blend of spices, Wang Wei had to use the Law Flame that True Monarch Yan Chen created in order to actually cook a Saint level meat.
After finding the perfect temperature to cook the Golden Roc, a very powerful and enchanting smell enveloped the entire room. All the Heaven Chosens that were also cooking their own Demon Race raised their heads to look in Wang Wei's direction.
All of them had a little bit of drool in their faces due to how appetizing his own meat smelled like; they can infer just by the smell that it would be quite delicious.
Although these Heaven Chosens knew that their meat would also be delicious on account of just reaching the Saint Level, however, compared to Wang Wei's well prepared delicacy, they still are left behind.
After the meal was prepared, Wang Wei then took out plates from his space ring and served everyone who helped him skin the meat their own plate or bowl.
Then, to the horror of the few remaining Demon Races, everybody in the room started to enjoy their food. As for them, they had to witness their own kind slowly turning into food, and yet there were nothing that they could do about it.
All four of them wished that they were the few Demon Races that were forced to pass out by Wang Wei. Unfortunately for them, they were not. They were full of hatred for these humans, but powerless to do anything about it.
As for the barbeque that all the Heaven Chosens were enjoying, well, the Saint level meat proved to be even more pristine than any of them imagined. The meat seemed to possess the ability to augment the sensitivity of everyone's taste bud.
While Wang Wei was enjoying his meal, he was also starring at Wu Hong for some reason.
"Young master Wang Wei, it is very rude to stare so directly," suddenly said Wu Hong while placing a piece of meat on her luscious red lips. However, she was calm the whole time while saying these words.
"You don't seem surprised?" asked Wang Wei.
"Surprised about what?" she asked back.
"Surprise that I know how to cook."
"I do not understand what you mean."
Wang Wei looked around the room before saying, "All the people in this room were surprised by the fact that I can actually cook so well, but not you. Beside the people that are truly close to me, no one else is aware of my culinary abilities."
"Young master Wang Wei, I think you are overthinking things. I just naturally like to remain calm in every situation."
"Miss Su Ya remained calm after seeing my culinary skills, but I could still see the slight surprise in her eyes. As for you, the reaction that I noticed was as if you were already aware of my abilities, so, Miss Wu Hong, how did you know that I could cook?"
"Like I said, you are overthinking things, young master Wang Wei," replied Wu Hong with a calm look on her face; not even the slightest faze by Wang Wei's question.
"Interesting," said Wang Wei with a slight smile on his face. "I have only known you for a few hours, and I can already tell that you are an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. And yet, I find myself unable to resist trying to uncover all your secrets."
"Well, isn't there a saying that once a woman becomes interested in a man' secret, then it is the beginning of her falling in love with him? Young master Wang Wei, you should be aware that you are traveling down a dangerous road!" responded Wu Hong with a beautiful laugh full of vigor and mystery.
"Miss Wu Hong, you could always stop me from doing such a dangerous thing? You know, save my poor soul and heart from being lost forever."
"Why would I do that?" replied Wu Hong while whispering these words straight into Wang Wei's ear.
"Then, whatever happens to me in the future, you will be responsible; you have to take responsibility for me," whispered Wang Wei back to her.
Meanwhile, all the people around had different looks on their faces as they watched those two people flirt with one another.
Li Jun, Yan Liling, and Wang Ju were actually quite surprised as they had never seen Wang Wei behave in such a way. The Sacred Son that they were used to seeing always had a calm, indifferent, relaxed or stoic face--even in the face of a beautiful woman.
A perfect example of that is the way that he treated Miss Xi Shi--which is considered the most beautiful woman of the world in this generation. However, now, he was always smiling, he was charming and witty; in general, he seemed enamored with this Wu Hong. Not to mention he seemed to enjoy himself talking to her.
Although all of them were happy for him, however, they were also a little worried that he would become too enamored and lose his focus and drive.
As for Su Ya--despite not showing it--she was not happy about the situation as well. For once, she did not like how Wang Wei completely ignored her--and right to her face at that.
Logically speaking, as the number 2 most beautiful woman in the world, shouldn't she be more attractive than Wu Hong? On top of that, she was not a vase like Xi Shi.
Of course Su Ya had no actual feelings for Wang Wei. As a person who controls both emotions and desires, it is very difficult for her own emotions to be stirred up; on the contrary, she can be very rational, and even emotionless if need be. She just did not like the feeling of being ignored.
Of course this was not the main reason that she did not like these two together. The main reason is the fact that an alliance between these two would not bode well for all the other Heaven Chosens.
Wang Wei was already powerful enough. But now, if you add the also powerful and mysterious Wu Hong, the power that the Dao Opening Sect would hold would increase dramatically; it would be like adding a pair of wings to an already very fierce tiger.
Of course Su Ya hoped that there would be a disagreement between these two over the Heaven Will. Thus leading to them becoming enemies instead of companions. However, things do not seem to be heading in that direction.
As a matter of fact, Su Ya was not the only one thinking about such a thing. Many of the other Heaven Chosens do not like the idea of Wang Wei and Wu Hong getting together. Any form of combination between these two people will forever change the game.
Many people who did not like the idea of forming alliances will also consider doing so. Of course that is if any of these Heaven Chosens can get over their own ego and properly elect a leader in any form of alliance that they would create in the future.
As for Wang Wei, although he could guess what these people were thinking, he did not really care. He was not attracted to Wu Hong solely based on the benefits that she could bring her.
As a matter of fact, he did not even know the reason that he was attracted to her; he simply was. He found that she somehow completed him, like she truly knows what kind of person he was.
Right now in the relationship, they are just simply talking or flirting with each other. Wang Wei can foresee that there will be quite a few obstacles between them--especially when it comes to all the mystery that surrounds Wu Hong.
Normally speaking, Wang Wei is a semi-controlled freak and would never let himself fall for someone who has so many secrets. However, when it comes to her, he seemed to no care.
Ever since he met her, his intuition has been warning him that he should do everything possible to get this girl--otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life. This was the first time since reincarnation that his intuition became so intense, and Wang Wei can only count a few times in his past life that this has happened. So, he planned to listen to it as always.
As for all the secrets that Wu Hong is keeping, Wang Wei believed that as they spent more and more time together, he would eventually discover them by himself, or she would reveal them to him.
And if she does not do that, this means that he was wrong about her and that the relationship is one sided. At that time, Wang Wei will not hesitate to end things with her.
What he is looking for is a partnership; not one person swooning over the other.
After the Saint Meat Feast, the Heaven Chosen Meeting came to an end; however, the repercussions of this meeting were far from over.
