Chapter 1088
"Why are you here?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
Hearing this, Yuwen Bo clenched his fists tightly and remained silent. It was a pity that he was tied up, otherwise he would have already attacked.
Even if Yu Wenbo didn't say anything, Gu Chen could guess. Based on the corpses floating in the atmosphere, Yu Wenbo must have been captured by Tangning.
"Ha ~ ~ ~ why are you here?"
Just then, Tang Ning walked out of the cottage with disheveled hair and sleepy eyes. He stretched and yawned.
Gu Chen looked at him and saw that his face was full of stubble, and his clothes seemed to have not been washed for many days. He even reeked of alcohol. Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm here to look for you."
Hearing this, Tang Ning smiled faintly. "You came at the right time. I was just about to cook. Have some."
Then, without waiting for Gu Chen to agree or refuse, he turned around and walked to the nearby cottage, taking out a pile of firewood.
He set up a bonfire in the courtyard, then took out a strange beast carcass from his storage ring, skewered it with an iron rod, and roasted it over the fire.
Seeing this scene, Yuwen Bo, who was tied up in the distance, was shocked, as if Tang Ning had violated some taboo.
"What kind of beast is this?"
Gu Chen noticed Yuwen Bo's expression and saw that the beast looked like a horse, a deer, a cow, and a donkey. He had never seen it before, so he asked curiously.
"This beast is called David's Deer. It's a great tonic. You're lucky to have it."
Smiling, Tang Ning fiddled with the bonfire, trying to roast the meat of David's Deer. Unfortunately, the firewood had burned out, and only the skin of the beast was cooked.
"This firewood is too ordinary. I can't cook it. Wait."
Tang Ning immediately searched his storage ring and took out a guqin.
This zither was obviously not an ordinary item, but Tang Ning used it as firewood and casually threw it into the bonfire.
Puchi.
The bonfire burned brightly, and the meat of David's Deer emitted a meaty fragrance.
Gu Chen teased as he watched Tangning busily barbecuing. "Other people live in seclusion with the wind, playing the guqin and flute, but you burn the guqin and cook the crane, getting drunk every day."
"Playing the guqin and flute is just to show off. How can it compare to wine and game?"
Tang Ning finally roasted the meat. He sprinkled some seasoning on it and handed a delicious roasted leg to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took it and took a bite. The meat actually left a fragrance in his mouth and made his body feel warm. It was no worse than any immortal pill.
"It's really a great tonic. I wonder where it came from?" Gu Chen exclaimed in admiration.
"A young man from the Outer Realm called Fang Wen sent it." Tang Ning giggled.
Gu Chen's face suddenly froze and he almost choked.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Tang Ning drank a mouthful of wine, looking intoxicated. Then, she passed the wine pot to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took it, took a big gulp, and scolded with a smile. "What is going on?"
"That Fang Wen was calculating my position, so I purposely leaked it. Then, this David's Deer led a large group of people to my door and wanted to kill me."
"Although that brat has some ability, he underestimated me too much. He actually thought that he could deal with me with his mount. So, I roasted this David's Deer and ate it."
Tang Ning tore a piece of meat and threw it in Yu Wenbo's direction. At the same time, he loosened the rope that bound Yu Wenbo.
Yu Wenbo caught the roasted meat with a face full of hesitation. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He had been tied up by Tang Ning for many days, so he was both hungry and thirsty. The meat of the David's Deer was a rare delicacy, and it made him want to eat it.
However, when he thought of the fact that the four odd beasts were Fang Wen's mounts, he suddenly lost his courage. If Fang Wen were to find out about this, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
Tang Ning shook his head when he saw that Yu Wenbo didn't dare to eat it.
"How pitiful. No matter what, you are a publicly acknowledged genius of the Ninth World and can be ranked in the top five of the Ten Thousand Races. Yet, you are so afraid of a brat from the Ninth World that you don't even dare to eat the meat of his mount."
Tang Ning's ridicule made Yu Wenbo's face turn red. His dao heart almost shattered, and his entire body trembled in shame.
Gu Chen watched all this in silence.
It was indeed sad. Yu Wenbo was an influential figure on the Myriad Gods Mountain in the past, but now, he was willing to be enslaved by the geniuses from the Ninth World.
He no longer had any ambitions. If he couldn't get rid of his fear of the geniuses from the Ninth World, his cultivation would probably stop here.
In fact, it wasn't just him. Gu Chen recalled that during the battle of the Milky Way, Gu Xunfeng and Hou Zhou had also defected to the young supremes from the Ninth World.
They were originally the most dazzling geniuses of the Ninth World, but in this golden era, they were willing to serve as foils.
Yu Wenbo was absent-mindedly holding a piece of meat. Gu Chen no longer paid attention to him and started chatting with Tang Ning.
"It seems like you have already fought with Fang Wen. That's good. It seems like you know the situation in the outside world better than anyone else."
Gu Chen said. When he heard that Tang Ning was living in seclusion near the Mystic Maiden Palace, Gu Chen had a hunch.
Perhaps Tang Ning had never truly lived in seclusion. It was just a facade. He was still concerned about the situation in the outside world.
He had chosen to live in seclusion not far from the Mystic Maiden Palace. Gu Chen even suspected that he had predicted that this place would become the battlefield of the Ancient Heaven.
"Two years ago, when the Outer World Hundred arrived in the Ninth World, I have been paying attention to their movements. Of course I know the situation."
Tang Ning drank a mouthful of wine. His gaze became pained. "Unfortunately, I miscalculated. I didn't predict that the Desolate Emperor would die."
"What exactly happened?" Gu Chen asked.
"When the Outer World Hundred arrived, I predicted that they would die. I originally wanted to secretly observe their movements and understand Xing Jun's motives, but I didn't expect my plan to be discovered by Fang Wen. "
"Fang Wen claims to be a foresight Genesis Master. Over the past two years, he has secretly fought with me countless times. Because of him, I was unable to pay attention to the other young supremes."
"Because of this, when the battle of the Milky Way happened, I was unable to detect it in advance. As a result, the Desolate Emperor died in battle and the Ancient Heaven suffered great losses!"
When Tang Ning mentioned this, his expression became extremely gloomy. He fiercely bit into the meat and swallowed it.
Gu Chen was shocked when he heard this. Tang Ning was known as the Calculator of Lives. He had schemed against Gu Chen many times in the past, and he had succeeded almost every time.
He could be said to be the brains of the Ancient Heaven and a rare genius in the Ninth World. He had never expected that he would suffer at the hands of Fang Wen.
The Genesis Masters with foresight?
What kind of inheritance was that? Even Tang Ning had suffered a setback.
"At least you've recovered some ground, right?" Gu Chen looked at the roasted meat in his hand.
"That's right. After the attack on the Ancient Heaven, I immediately woke up and have been secretly competing with him."
"I knew that he wanted to know my location, so I purposely left an opening to lure him here."
"Originally, I wanted to say that if he came, I would use all my strength to kill him and get rid of a huge threat for the Ancient Heaven. However, I didn't expect that kid to be so arrogant. He actually thought that he could deal with me by sending his mount. "
