Chapter 12757
The aroma of oil mingled with a faint smell of charcoal, and there was something else that was hard to describe.
Spirituality!
Long Hongxiu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
For the first time in her life, she felt an insurmountable gap between herself and other people her age!
If she is the chosen one, then Gan Niannian in front of us is the darling of heaven, who is personally chased and fed by the heavens!
She called herself the chosen one, but the other person, the darling of heaven, is a living reality.
For the first time ever, his unwavering belief began to falter, and his foundation quietly crumbled.
In that instant, a thought surged from her embrace, cold and domineering, pressing down fiercely, like an invisible hand pressing on her shoulder.
Long Hongxiu's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and all her hesitation vanished.
His arrogance was even more intense and unwavering than before, as if he had been injected with chicken blood!
She suddenly looked up and sneered, "That's it?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.
The moment that thought surged was clearly captured by his world will.
The source was none other than the invitation to the Goddess Academy that the other party was holding!
Lin Yi seemed to be deep in thought.
Is it really this unfounded self-confidence that the Goddess Academy has its eye on?
But what's the use of this confidence?
"Could it be..."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it a special constitution?"
Long Hongxiu took a deep breath, raised her chin, and said, "Both sides have eaten all the food, so it's a draw at best!"
"If I had to say something, it's just that my duck is a bit greedy, that doesn't explain anything else."
Lin Yi looked at her and suddenly laughed: "Did you underestimate its intelligence?"
He pointed to the green duck and said slowly, "Although it doesn't speak, it definitely understands human language. Let it choose for itself, how about that?"
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the green-feathered duck tilted its head, looked at Long Hongxiu, and then at Gan Niannian.
His eyes seemed to be contemplating some philosophy of life.
Then, with a flap of its wings, it trotted over to Gan Niannian, nuzzled its head against her leg, and made a cawing sound to please her.
He didn't glance at Long Hongxiu once from beginning to end.
Long Hongxiu was struck dumb, staggered back a step, and turned deathly pale.
"No...it's impossible...it couldn't be ungrateful...you're the one who did this! It must be Lin Yi, you're the one who did this!"
All eyes in the room darted between her and Lin Yi.
Lin Yi stroked his chin with amusement: "You keep saying you saved its life, but was it really on the verge of death back then?"
"Of course!"
Long Hongxiu's voice trembled, but she remained stubborn: "It was lying on the ground with its eyes closed! I was passing by, I carried it home, and I fed it bite by bite..."
What was it eating at the time?
"what?"
What was it eating before you fed it?
Long Hongxiu froze, her mouth agape, but no sound came out.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the green duck yawned and sprawled out on the ground.
Its wings were spread out, its legs were stretched straight, its eyes were half-closed, its mouth was slightly open, and its tongue was crooked to one side.
He looked exactly like he was about to die, just as Long Hongxiu had described him back then, without the slightest difference.
Lin Yi asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that it wasn't dying at all back then, but was just basking in the sun after it had eaten its fill?"
"This one……"
At this moment, the old beggar stepped forward, coughed to clear his throat, and said, "I did see this scene back then. Brother Duck was lying on the ground, and Miss Dragon was squatting next to him feeding him."
"At the time, the old beggar was puzzled. Brother Duck was clearly just lazy after eating his fill, so why were people still going out of their way to feed him?"
The old beggar thought to himself, "This girl has a really good heart, but her eyesight isn't very good."
After he said that, several villagers from Longjia Village in the crowd nodded in agreement and chimed in with their own opinions.
"Yes, yes, I remember too. This guy was just lounging around in the sun. I even said he really knew how to enjoy himself, even more than me."
"I kicked it when I was passing by, but it didn't even move. It's so lazy."
"Later she came to feed us every day, and we all laughed it off."
Long Hongxiu trembled all over as she looked at the duck, with a last glimmer of hope: "Is...that's how it is?"
The green duck lazily rolled over, turning its back to her, and flapped its wings indifferently.
This posture tells everyone what the answer is.
"How is this possible..."
Long Hongxiu was struck dumb and collapsed to the ground.
Long Hongxiu was not giving up and called out to the green-feathered duck twice more.
His voice trembled, carrying the last vestige of hope, making even the passersby who were just there to watch the spectacle feel a little uneasy.
The duck didn't turn around at all.
It still looked half-dead, and even when it made some movements, they were all trying to please Gan Niannian.
He stretched his head and nuzzled into Gan Niannian's hand, wagging his tail from time to time. His obsequious and ingratiating manner made him look exactly like a fickle and scumbag.
Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Those who know the truth would think they're fighting over a duck, but those who don't would think they're fighting over a heartless man."
Long Hongxiu's face turned pale, her lips trembled, but in the end she said nothing.
She stood up and walked down the mountain in a daze, her steps unsteady, almost falling several times, but she never looked back.
No one stopped her.
After the excitement subsided, the crowd gradually dispersed.
They walked down the mountain in twos and threes, still discussing what had just happened, with laughter occasionally drifting over.
Some say this woman is pitiful, while others argue that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
However, this kind of debate is nothing more than a topic of conversation, and nobody really cares.
Lin Yi stood still, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, pausing for a moment on a certain figure.
At this moment, Yuan Chu was mixed in with the crowd, walking out with his head down, walking quietly and steadily, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yi withdrew his gaze, already understanding the situation.
Yuan Chu's affair with Long Hongxiu was definitely not out of boredom.
If the Beast God Academy and the Goddess Academy were to truly join forces, given their combined power, things would indeed be quite troublesome.
But then I thought, with each of the two academies having their own agendas, could they really cooperate sincerely?
I'm afraid that's not necessarily true.
When it comes to dividing the spoils, it's good enough if they don't stab each other in the back.
This so-called alliance looks impressive, but it will fall apart at the slightest touch.
Just then, the old beggar stood up, patted his tattered robe, and cupped his hands to the crowd: "Thank you for your hospitality. It's time for this old beggar to go."
Lin Yi did not try to stop him.
After spending the last few days together, he had already noticed some clues.
This old beggar seemed ordinary at first glance, but his aura was natural and unfathomable, like a bottomless pool of water.
If I had to describe it, it would be close to that of a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form.
But Lin Yi's intuition told him that this person's true strength was probably much deeper than he had seen.
It is by no means comparable to the four-zhang-tall Dharma form.
The old beggar pulled a coin from his pocket, casually placed it on the side of the grill, and said with a smile, "I can't eat for free, this is just a small token."
