Chapter 15: Pineapple pizza
Chapter 15: Pineapple pizza
"The return of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor is already a terrible catastrophe. To think there is an even more catastrophic calamity lurking in the abyss," the phoenix sighed before its golden eyes vanished.
After exiting the trial, Yun Wuji reappeared before Chu Yuechan and Feng Baichuan.
"You're back quickly," Yuechan said, walking over and grabbing his hand. Feng Baichuan hadn't explained the trial to her, so she knew little about it.
Her cold nature made it hard for her to take the initiative to ask a man about something.
"Lord, although you have failed, many people have failed before you. It's no big deal," Feng Baichuan tried to console him. He assumed Yun Wuji had failed because the records left by their ancestors indicated that completing the trial would take at least a month.
Only a few hours had passed since Yun Wuji left for the trial, leading Feng Baichuan to conclude that he had failed.
"You failed?" Yuechan asked in surprise. Yun Wuji is so strong-how could he possibly fail?
"Of course not, I passed the trial," Yun Wuji said, patting her soft hand that was gripping him tightly.
He then looked at Feng Baichuan and said, "Gather your clansmen. I will remove the curse."
"Wh... what?" Feng staggered a few steps back. "You passed the trial? How is this possible? It's only been a few hours!"
Yun Wuji didn't bother to answer. He pointed a finger, and crimson fire shot from the mark on his forehead.
The mark started to burn, and soon the red mark turned golden.
Feng Baichuan stood in place, dazed. The shock was too much for him, and he didn't react for a while.
"Lord, thank you! You are the benefactor of our clan!" He exclaimed, quickly falling to his knees with tears in his eyes.
The curse that hunted them for generations and rendered their once powerful clan to a tiny clan trapped in a tiny village is finally gone!
"Get up. I am only fulfilling my part of the deal," Yun Wuji helped him to his feet and said, "Go gather your clansmen. I won't be staying here for long."
"R-right away, my lord!" Feng Baichuan quickly left to gather them.
"Wuji, can you cook the pineapple pizza that you mentioned earlier?" Yuechan asked as they left the trial ground.
"Pineapple pizza? Ah!" Wuji was about to answer when suddenly, a flood of memories poured into his mind as if a seal that had been locking away his memories had been opened. A lifetime's worth of memories!
Memories from his past life flooded back.
Earth, internet, Mia Khalifa, Yamete Kudasai ahh~, English or Spanish...
"Wuji, are you alright?!" Yuechan looked back at him, concerned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yeah, I just remembered something. Forget about pineapple pizza; I'll cook something better for you," he said, patting her head.
"Really?" she squinted her eyes, enjoying his touch.
'All according to keikaku!'
Before entering the trial, he sealed his memories, and the only way to unseal them was with a keyword. That keyword is "pineapple pizza!"
He had deliberately mentioned pineapple pizza to Yuechan yesterday, knowing she would pester him to make it for her later.
The memories that Wuji showed to the phoenix's spirit were mostly true, with a few exceptions. He didn't reveal his memories from his previous life, and he also made some modifications to certain details.
He inserted the memory of having a special ability that allows him to see future events.
He showed the phoenix that he had seen the future, where the primal chaos was destroyed by the abyss of nothingness, which was not a lie.
The Phoenix probably thought that he was the fated world's savior and gave him everything it had.
Due to the shock of his talent and accurate information about the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, which surpassed even the Phoenix's understanding, the Phoenix didn't doubt him. Mixing truth and lies made it easy for him to convince the Phoenix.
If he hadn't used this trick, even with his talent, the Phoenix probably would not have given him the favorable treatment it did. The Phoenix values the character of the person, not just strength. Unlike Yun Che, who inherited the heretic god, he needed a different approach to gain the Phoenix's favor.
Yun Wuji and Little Fairy walked to the central square of the village. All the clansmen had gathered under Feng Baichuan's order. There were around 200 people gathered.
"Lord, everyone in the village is here," Feng Baichuan walked up to him and said.
"Good, I'll start right now." Yun Wuji nodded, then waved his hand, igniting a fire on the foreheads of the gathered clansmen.
A few seconds later, the cursed phoenix mark was removed and replaced with a golden
phoenix mark.
"Ah! The curse is really removed!"
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"
"He must be the Divine Phoenix's messenger!"
"The Phoenix has forgiven us after so many years!"
"Thank you, lord! Thank you!" Everyone knelt on the ground, including Feng Baichuan, expressing their sincere gratitude.
"Please get up," Yun Wuji said, and as he spoke, a gust of wind quickly moved, pushing everyone to their feet.
"Now that I've done my part, I'll take my leave. Farewell." Yun Wuji placed his hand on Yuechan's shoulder, and they both teleported away before the Phoenix clan could react.
"They disappeared!"
"The messenger left!"
"What kind of existence is he?" Feng Baichuan stood silently, gazing at where Yun Wuji had been. There were so many mysteries surrounding him, like a fog. But One thing was certain, Yun Wuji would take the continent by storm in the future.
"Where are we?" Yuechan asked as they appeared.
"Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range," Yun Wuji answered. His arrival to this world might have changed some things, potentially causing a butterfly effect. To avoid problems, he decided to secure the fire seed first.
"Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range? Is there a scarlet dragon living here?" She looked around
before asking.
"Yes, the mountain range was named after the scarlet dragon. Pretty obvious," he replied before taking off, flying around.
"Are we here to kill it? But we still have dragon meat," she asked. "By the way, when will you make the dish named pizza?"
"Soon, I'll make you pizza and burger," he chuckled. She's becoming more addicted to food. Maybe she won't want to leave after regaining her memories, just for the sake of the food.
"Roaar! Who dare t..." As they reached the central Scarlet Dragon Prohibited Region, a dragon roar echoed, followed by a scarlet dragon emerging from its cave.
However, before the dragon could finish its words, a sword light flashed, and in a split
second, the clueless dragon was diced into pieces without ever seeing its enemy.
"Noisy."
They both landed in front of the dragon's body.
"This dragon was strong, probably at the peak of the Sky Profound Realm!" Yuechan
exclaimed, sensing the dragon's aura when it first appeared.
"No, it was at the Emperor Profound Realm. This dragon is cunning; it was hiding its true strength," Yun Wuji shook his head as he explained.
He stored the dragon's body inside the Sky Poison Pearl before proceeding into the cave. Inside, he quickly located the fire seed, surrounded by numerous Fire Spirit Grass.
"So this is the fire seed," he marveled, holding up the bright red fire seed. It felt warm to the touch, glowing softly in his hand with a subtle energy.
"So, your goal is this?" Yuechan noticed him disregarding the Fire Spirit Grass and focusing on a small sphere. Intrigued, she couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
"This is the fire seed, part of the heretic god's inheritance!" Wuji tossed the fire seed to her as
he explained.
"Heretic god?" She examined the fire seed, sensing a very pure fire energy inside. The name
was unfamiliar; even if she had regained her memory, she wouldn't have recognized it.
"The heretic god was one of the four strongest gods, a god of creation. Within the Primal Chaos, he wielded unparalleled power over the elements-Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, Wind, and Darkness-perfectly controlling, resisting, and absorbing their elemental
energies."
"So powerful! He is even more powerful than the phoenix, right?" Hearing his explanation, she couldn't help but regard the fire seed more seriously.
"Of course, the phoenix is nothing compared to him." Wuji nodded thoughtfully, expressing his admiration. Despite possibly making a mistake that inadvertently led to the demise of all gods and devils. Ni Xuan's dedication to primal chaos remains admirable.
"You just received the phoenix inheritance, this fire seed will help you grasp the laws of fire more quickly!" Yuechan returned the fire seed to him. Since she cultivates Ice, the fire seed isn't of much value to her.
She was smart enough not to ask him about the locations of so many inheritances, knowing he
would likely refuse to answer as he always did.
"More importantly, can you make pizza now?" she asked.
