Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 220 - Uses For The Crimson Horizon Earth Flame

Yaomu Shou eventually walked over, not taking her eyes off the Overly Bombastic Brawler Rabbit, before she finally asked. “I-Is it dead?”

Her question was answered immediately after when a raucous noise erupted from its body, which frightened her into jumping back with her sword in hand.

****

“Relax,” Long Di quickly calmed her down. “It’s just snoring. I knocked it out.”

Hearing this she finally noticed the rhythmic rise and fall of its sleeping state. It was only when she saw that it wasn’t getting up that she sighed a breath of relief.

Long Di then walked a short distance away from the Overly Bombastic Brawler Rabbit before sitting down in a meditative pose.

He was currently comprehending all he learned from his fade getting ran to realise his shortcomings.

There were times that he landed a blow on the magical beast despite its never-ending flurry of blows.

His mind was working at light speed as he tried his best to establish a form that was all his own. It didn’t need a name or anything. He just wanted to be able to hold his own when it came to hand-to-hand combat.

Yaomu Shou didn’t say anything, but came up beside him and sat down. Her knees were pulled up to her chest while her hands wrapped around them for good measure.

At this time, Mina was finally finished reading and took in her surroundings for the first time.

“It’s night?” she was shocked that she didn’t even notice the time passing. She then looked at Long Di and saw the bruises that covered him.

“What happened to you!?”

“Ssshhhh” Yaomu Shou shushed her so she didn’t disturb Long Di’s comprehension.

She then whispered. “He got beat up by a rabbit.”

Mina stared at her for a good hot minute before she countered. “You do understand that context is needed, right?”

Realising she was right, Yaomu Shou apprised Mina of all that happened while she was busy reading.

When she was done, Mina burst out laughing on her back and eventually rolled away from their group into the distance.

Yaomu Shou stared at her incredulously. Truly, none of Long Di’s friends were normal.

Though the moon was out, it was hidden by a blanket of clouds which darkened the surrounding area.

Her expression was unreadable at the moment, but it was clear that many things were on her mind.

Sometime after, Long Di opened his eyes to see her staring at him.

“Hello…”

Yaomu Shou smiled and replied, “Hello.”

Long Di nodded and looked over to where the Overly Bombastic Brawler Rabbit was… sleeping.

“I’ll take another day’s worth of pointers from it before we move on.” Long Di announced.

Hearing him say it like this, Yaomu Shou was surprised once more, “You’re crazy, you know that?”

Long Di shrugged before he retired, “The medical term is insane. Then again, I’m not a doctor and…”

Suddenly, Long Di stopped and stared out blankly into space. Yaomu Shou didn’t know what to make of this, and her brow furrowed in confusion.

After a while, she couldn’t help it and reached out to check if he was alright, “Are you—”

Without warning, Long Di’s head snapped in her direction, blurting out, “I’m hungry.”

“Holy crap!” Yaomu Shou flinched back as she was frightened by Long Di’s sudden response.

Whoosh…

Before she could react and ask Long Di what that was all about, he waved his hand, summoning the corpse of the Monarch Gale Crow.

Even though it was no longer alive, it still radiated a powerful pressure. The aura of an overlord class could be felt and its form was majestic and awe-inspiring, regardless of life or death.

Yaomu Shou cocked her head to the side, much like Long Di did at times.

“Aren’t you going to ask where Mina is?” she finally asked after seeing express zero interest in the matter

“Did you tell her what happened, and she fell over on her back laughing while rocking from side to side, which eventually coalesced into her rolling off over yonder like a dao-walking tumbleweed?”

She was shocked that he was right on the money! Was he not in a state of deep comprehension!?

“How did you know!?”

“We have a unique dynamic,” Long Di shrugged.

“That wasn’t a dynamic, that was psychic! How did you—”

Before she could finish what she was saying, Long Di clapped both hands together.

Hong!

The Profound Myriad Heavenseize Physique activated, and he stretched his hand toward the corpse.

Whoosh!

The Crimson Horizon Flame erupted from his palm and under the urging of his spiritual force, twisted into an inferno that consumed the Monarch Gale Crow!

Yaomu Shou was taken aback by this sudden move. “What are you doing!?”

She didn’t expect Long Di to do something like this. After all, magical beast corpses, especially those of the overlord class, were priceless commodities that were always in demand!

So for Long Di to do something like this caught her completely off guard.

“I’m hungry,” Long Di repeated once more.

She simply stared at him, lost in a stupor.

Did he think that magical beasts were like chickens or dogs, that they were something that one could easily cook!?

She didn’t know if she should laugh or cry when she saw this. “Long Di, I don’t want to disappoint you, but if you think that magical beasts follow the same method of cooking as normal meat does, then you might be disappointed.”

Long Di heard what she said, but he didn’t stop what he was doing. He kept his focus on the Monarch Gale Crow.

Seeing that he didn’t listen to her, she remained silent on the subject.

Long Di’s spiritual force was the guiding hand that drove his Earth Flame so he could see the state of the Monarch Gale Crow, though the Crimson Horizon Flame obscured it from view.

He had a decent mastery over the Crimson Horizon Flame since he used it to help him and Jia Yan cultivate the month they were waiting for the Spiritual Bingqi Realm to open.

Though he couldn’t be called a master at wielding Earth Flames or anything, it was something that he could use without killing himself or others. That was progress in his book.

Whoosh…

The flames slowly receded, revealing the bare body of the Monarch Gale Crow. All the feathers had been burnt away. There were some parts of the skin that had been licked black by the flames.

It no longer possessed the aura and prestige of an overlord class. As of now, it was more like a plucked turkey ready for the oven.

Yaomu Shou had to admit that even though Long Di’s control of the earth flame wasn’t perfect, he did do a fairly good job of burning away the feathers. Sure, there were some parts of the skin that were burnt, but perfection was a hard bar to reach.

Additionally, one must know that Long Di was controlling an Earth Flame. A tyrannical and overbearing flame created by the heavens and the earth. It wasn’t something that just anyone was qualified to wield.

Upon remembering this, Yaomu Shou grew even more impressed with Long Di and his ungodly talent.

“What ranking is my Earth Flame on that Earth Flame ranking you told me about?” Long Di asked her before he compelled the flame forward once more.

Whoosh!

The flames enveloped the ‘turkey’ again. Though his control over the Earth Flame wasn’t perfect, it was enough for him to cook the Monarch Gale Crow. He then closed his eyes to feel his control over the spiritual force more effectively. He was lowering its temperature as best he could.

“It sits at ranking 167,” she told him.

“That’s underwhelming,” he said absentmindedly as he poured most of his thoughts into the task before him.

“The Earth Flame Ranking lists the top 200 Earth Flames on the continent! For you to get one that is on the ranking is nothing short of miraculous! This is especially when we take into consideration you did it yourself!” Yaomu Shou wanted Long Di to know how incredible his achievements were.

“If you say so,” he replied.

She shook her head with a wry smile as she watched him roast the Monarch Gale Crow.

In truth, Yaomu Shou didn’t expect Long Di to successfully cook the magical beast.

Magical beasts were not like normal animals since they had spiritual energy. Because of this, if they were not prepared successfully, then the spiritual energy would dissipate and, in some cases, it would ruin the meat.

Though she didn’t show it, Yaomu Shou had eaten countless delicacies before and had a refined palette. Though she would eat snacks and fruits and things of that ilk, when it came to cooked meals, she was quite picky.

Cooking was also a type of cultivation with some masters taking it very seriously, even defending their arts to their last breath.

Because of this, she didn’t hold out much hope for Long Di and his meal.

However, after a while, to her surprise, a mouthwatering scent eventually spread out. Its aroma was tempting and grew stronger as time passed.

Yaomu Shou nearly drooled when she smelt it before surprise took over. The only way for a magical beast to smell this good when it's being cooked is for it to be cooked with a profound cooking method.

However, she didn’t see anything profound about Long Di’s method outside of him just roasting the thing.

She couldn’t hold her curiosity back and wished to inquire. “Long Di, you—”

Suddenly, a peaceful and benevolent voice drifted over. “Amitabha, don’t frighten the young benefactor.”
