#254 - Chapter 254: Eating too much can easily lead to fullness

By the edge of the Sea of Bitterness.

The Earth Mother lay under the willow tree, her eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at the starry sky, occasionally patting her belly, looking very relaxed and content.

“Lying down after a full meal, what bliss.” The Earth Mother's face was full of enjoyment.

Lying under the willow tree could clear one's mind and eliminate distracting thoughts, making it suitable for cultivation and rest.

Ye Kong glanced at her and asked, “Do you know why there are so few Kui cattle?”

“They were all eaten by me.” The Earth Mother said.

Ye Kong: … …

He originally wanted to say it was because the Kui cattle only had one foot and couldn't run fast, but the Earth Mother's words left him speechless.

So that's why there's only one Kui cattle; it turns out they were eaten by the Earth Mother.

“Ye Kong, what else is good to eat in the Desolate Forbidden Zone?” The Earth Mother asked curiously.

“Why don't you go in and see for yourself?” Ye Kong said unhappily.

“I don't dare.” The Earth Mother shook her head.

Without a strong backing, she didn't dare to go in.

Most of the divine beasts and ferocious beasts inside had been eaten by her, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out if she went in.

Ye Kong previously thought that the Earth Mother was weak and afraid of encountering danger if she went in.

Now he understood that the Earth Mother would definitely encounter danger if she went in!

Even a powerful creature like the Kui cattle was almost eaten to extinction by her, and other divine beasts and ferocious beasts probably wouldn't fare any better.

Once the Earth Mother went in, she would definitely be targeted by all the divine beasts and ferocious beasts.

And it would be a never-ending feud.

Ye Kong finally understood why the Earth Mother didn't insist on following him to the Desolate Forbidden Zone before.

The Earth Mother lay under the willow tree, watched the stars for a while, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ye Kong glanced at the Earth Mother, shook his head, and quietly continued fishing.

… …

On Peach Mountain.

Xiao Bai lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his stomach feeling very bloated and uncomfortable.

He had eaten too much.

Xiao Bai sat up from the bed, formed hand seals, and prepared to refine the food in his stomach.

But what was in his stomach was no longer food, but pure spiritual power.

Because he had eaten too much, a large amount of spiritual power had accumulated in his body, making it impossible to refine.

Xiao Bai's stomach swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Using spiritual power to refine it not only didn't work, but instead made the spiritual power in his stomach even more concentrated.

“What exactly did Master give us to eat? It can't be refined!” Xiao Bai muttered.

With his cultivation level, he would be fine even if he ate a cow.

But after eating just over three pounds of the meat Master gave him, he felt unbearably full.

Xiao Bai clutched his stomach and got out of bed, kicked Er Ha awake, and climbed onto Er Ha's back.

“Er Ha, let's go for a run!”

Since he couldn't refine it with spiritual power, he would use the most primitive method to digest it.

Er Ha began to doubt his dog life; running late at night?

You must have eaten too much!

And if you want to run, go yourself, don't bring me along!

“Yes.” Ye Xiaoyao nodded; he also had some indigestion.

Besides feeling full, he also felt that his whole body was full of power.

So he came out to practice swords.

The others were in roughly the same situation, so they came out to exercise for a while to aid digestion.

Their situation was much better than Xiao Bai's, after all, they didn't eat as much as Xiao Bai.

After learning this, Xiao Bai rode Er Ha and ran wildly on Peach Mountain.

Everyone looked at Xiao Bai, speechless.

“Senior Brother Xiao Bai, is this definitely for digestion?” Ji Changsheng questioned.

“Ignore him, let's finish digesting quickly and go back.” Lin Yaoyao said.

Only then did everyone continue to cultivate and exercise.

By the edge of the Sea of Bitterness,

Ye Kong glanced at the situation on Peach Mountain and shook his head with a smile: “I told you guys a long time ago that eating too much is easy to cause indigestion, but you just wouldn't listen.”

“Now it's good, you have indigestion, right?”

“Digest it slowly; after eating so much, it should be enough for you to toss and turn for several days at least.”

As soon as Ye Kong finished speaking, he sensed the fishing hook sink.

He raised the fishing rod, and a supreme treasure landed in his hand.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Four Directions Sacred Decree!】

【Four Directions Sacred Decree: Can mobilize all demons, beasts, divine beasts, etc., under heaven.】

As the system's voice fell, a square, golden object, very similar to an imperial jade seal, appeared in Ye Kong's hand.

The Sacred Decree was engraved with four great Dao runes, possessing absolute suppressive power over demons and beasts.

After looking at the Four Directions Sacred Decree for a while, Ye Kong took out the Summoning Conch again.

One controls demons and beasts, and the other controls sea demons.

What's the difference between demons and beasts and sea demons?

Thinking of this, Ye Kong couldn't help but look at the Earth Mother.

After putting away the items, he woke up the Earth Mother.

“Earth Mother, let's eat dragon.” Ye Kong shouted.

The Earth Mother instantly opened her eyes and looked around, somewhat excited: “Where?”

Ye Kong glanced at her and asked, “I'm asking you, what's the difference between sea demons and demons and beasts?”

Only then did the Earth Mother come back to her senses; there was no dragon meat at all.

Hearing Ye Kong's question, she replied: “Difference? One is on the ground, and the other is in the sea.”

Ye Kong: … …

“Of course I know that difference; I'm asking about other differences!” Ye Kong said unhappily.

The Earth Mother thought for a while and replied: “As for other differences, demons and beasts are demons, while sea demons are not demons; sea demons are a group of polluted marine creatures.”

“Originally, the Forbidden Sea was also the territory of demons, but later most of the demons in the Forbidden Sea disappeared, and a small number were polluted and mutated, becoming incredibly powerful.”

Hearing the words 'polluted,' Ye Kong looked at the Earth Mother and asked seriously, “What were the sea demons polluted by?”

“I don't know either; I heard the Heavenly Duke say that they were polluted by a certain aura.” The Earth Mother shook her head.

“Heavenly Duke?”

“Yes, because I wanted to eat fish and was originally going to catch some, but the Heavenly Duke dissuaded me, saying that the sea demons in the Forbidden Sea were polluted and very dangerous, and I couldn't get close.” The Earth Mother explained.

“Then can they be eaten?” Ye Kong looked at the sea demons in the Sea of Bitterness.

“Of course, they weren't so delicious before; they became delicious after being affected.” As she spoke, the Earth Mother looked at the fish in the Sea of Bitterness.

Ye Kong quietly looked at the sea demons in the Sea of Bitterness and remained silent for a moment.

What aura polluted the sea demons?

They can't leave the Forbidden Sea; was it done by Hong?

Fa should know about this!

What role does Fa play in this?

Or did he release the aura that polluted the sea demons?

Ye Kong frowned and pondered, unable to understand the problem.

The Earth Mother's answer was ambiguous, seemingly useful but actually not very helpful.

Moreover, does she really not know, or is she unwilling to say more?

Ye Kong looked at the Earth Mother, who was preparing to catch fish, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The Earth Mother felt Ye Kong's malicious gaze and chuckled dryly: “I'll just eat one.”

Forget it, let's just pretend you don't know!

Ye Kong put down the fishing rod and turned to return to the Carefree Pavilion to rest.

He didn't want to think too much about the events of the ancient era.

He only wants to establish his foundation as soon as possible!
