Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 228 - The Meat Beckons All

Long Di chose to utter the three holy words for his opening statement.

“I can explain.”

****

Yaomu Shou looked at the knife, then the boy, then the girl. This process underwent a rigorous rinse and repeat. At the end of the day, it didn’t look good for Long Di.

At this point, Yaomu Shou found it impressive how Long Di managed to find himself in some rather dubious situations.

She eventually sighed and wondered how to best pose her questions… yes, questions, as in plural. One was nowhere near enough to ask what the heck was going on here.

“Where is she from?” she finally asked.

Long Di then directed his gaze to Wei Yun, prompting the latter to answer.

“O-Oh, I-Ice Phoenix Hall.”

“The Hall?” Yaomu Shou asked in an inquiring tone.

When Wei Yun heard Yaomu Shou’s specific question, her eyes narrowed. “Who are you?”

“I’m the one asking the questions here,” Yaomu Shou smiled.

She then looked back to Long Di, “What is she doing here?”

“She came here for my meat and then sh—”

“Lies! I never came here for his meat! I have my own meat!”

Long Di then looked at her questioningly, “You have your own meat?”

“Can’t you tell!?” Wei Yun yelled.

“You don’t look it.” Long Di shrugged.

“Well, I do!”

“Can you show m-”

“Hold on!” Yaomu Shou interjected. She didn’t know why, but she felt that this conversation took a weird turn somewhere and she didn’t want to be here for it.

“Let’s bring this back please and stop talking about… meat,” Yaomu was feeling really uncomfortable about that word for some reason and she blamed it on Long Di.

“I came here concerning a friend of mine! I came here for the Divine Daughter!” Wei Yun chose to answer of her own accord. Long Di was way too unreliable.

Yaomu Shou’s expression changed, “Divine Daughter Qin Ling!? The one blessed with the Cold Heart True Ice Physique!?”

A smug expression took over Wei Yun’s expression, “You’re well-learned. Yes, the Divine Daughter with the physique .”

Yaomu Shou then looked to Long Di in shock once more.

“You know the Divine Daughter!?”

“What do you want?” Long Di didn’t answer Yaomu Shou’s question and instead questioned Wei Yun.

“You don’t want me dead… I think. You even warned me about the assassin. After that, you–”

Yaomu Shou thought she heard wrong, “There was an assassin!? When!? What assassi–”

Mina quickly realised this was going nowhere and came to the rescue. “Yaomu Shou, let your big sister tell you what happened while you were cosplaying as a butterfly.”

Seeing as how Mina decided to bring Yaomu Shou up to speed, Long Di continued his line of questioning with Wei Yun.

“After that, you expressed concern he would be able to kill me. Why? What do you want from me? Why did you ask about this Divine Daughter?”

Wei Yun was more or less sure that this Long Di was the Long Di she was searching for, so there was no need to hide the details of her mission from him. The last part of it could come later.

“The cultivation technique you gave her. It’s incomplete. I was sent to retrieve the missing parts of it! Just tell me where you found it, and I’ll head over to retrieve it myself.”

She didn’t believe that Long Di created the cultivation technique. It was far too profound and ingenious. Though it was incomplete, it was able to rival the cultivation speed of most of their own advanced cultivation techniques.

As the Divine Daughter, Qin Ling had access to all the levels found within the Ice Phoenix Hall. Yet, none of their techniques came close to what she was already cultivating, though it was nearing the end of its usefulness.

“So, you want to help her?” Long Di wished to confirm this once more.

Yaomu Shou chimed in at this point. “You shouldn’t have to worry, Long Di. The Ice Phoenix Hall has neither the right nor the authority to deny the Divine Daughter.”

Wei Yun became warier of Yaomu Shou’s identity when she said this. She knew too much about the Ice Phoenix Hall to be a normal cultivator.

After listening to Yaomu Shou, Long Di then looked back to Wei Yun and saw her nod at him, indicating the former was correct in her assessment.

Long Di sighed before commenting, “Why can’t people have a civil conversation? Things would be so easy if we could do that. Fine, I created her cultivation technique, and it was more of an experiment than anything else.”

Wei Yun became irritated at his explanation and stated through gritted teeth. “If she’s your friend, then tell me the truth! I don’t want to use it for myself. It’s for the Divine Daughter, I swear!”

She thought that Long Di was distrusting of her to the point where he thought she wanted to keep the cultivation technique for herself.

“I’m not lying,” Long Di replied calmly. “I did create it. I didn’t put much thought into it, sure, but it’s my work.”

Anger took over Wei Yun’s features because as far as she was concerned Long Di was being unreasonable.

Once Yaomu Shou heard everything from Mina, she and the goddess sat quietly at the side and took in the conversation with a fair bit of thought.

Whilst Mina’s head swivelled in turn to who was talking, Yaomu Shou’s gaze was on Long Di. This was because she believed him. She believed every word. So it was because of this that, though she appeared calm on the surface, her thoughts were in turmoil.

But who could blame her!?

Sure, she was there in the room with Long Di and Feng Yu when the former said he could create a cultivation technique for the latter back at the Nether Immolation War Temple. And sure, she got confirmation from him when he said he was responsible for the creation of his own cultivation technique.

However, one had to know that it took even the wise sages from ancient times almost their entire life to create ONE cultivation technique. Even then, they weren’t perfect and underwent several revisions across several lifetimes for them to reach a sufficient level.

This was why sects did everything in their power to keep their defining cultivation techniques and methods protected. Only the most promising disciples would be allowed to learn them. This only grew more extreme the higher the grade of the cultivation technique.

She was able to accept Long Di being able to create his own cultivation technique, but now she had to accept that he created the cultivation technique of the Divine Daughter of the Ice Phoenix Hall!?

Not just that, not even the Ice Phoenix Hall’s cultivation methods were able to enter her eyes!?

This meant that Long Di could off-handedly create cultivation methods better than what one of the Ten Great Sects had!

What kind of existence was Long Di!? What kind of freak did she partner up with!?

She had to stop him from answering Wei Yun.

“Long Di!”
