"What? Want to eat?" With a smile, Ye Feng looked at Situ Jing and asked.

    "No... I don''t want to eat." Situ Jing quickly shook her head.

    But, just as she shook her head, her saliva started to drip uncontrobly.

    "Come on! Have a bite!" Ye Feng found it amusing and gestured.

    At the same time, Ye Feng took out a bottle of fine red wine and poured two sses.

    As for the roast suckling pig, Ye Feng sliced it in half and shared one half with Situ Jing.

    "In that case, I''ll give you this honor." Situ Jing was really giving herself a way out, her bold manner was quite amusing.

    Saying this, Situ Jing came to Ye Feng, picked up the roast suckling pig, and began to munch on it, eating inrge bites.

    "Is it tasty?" Seeing Situ Jing gobble it down, Ye Feng asked with a smile.

    "Yes! Very tasty." Situ Jing responded instinctively.

    "No... not tasty at all." After answering, Situ Jing realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself.

    "Oh!" Watching this scene, the elder beside them held his forehead, looking utterly defeated by Situ Jing.

    Eating roast suckling pig and drinking delicious red wine, even in the wilderness, Ye Feng had to enjoy it properly.

    "Terrible! It must be terrible." Feng Gu, munching on dry rations next to them, kept muttering.

    But his gaze, filled with envy, showed how much he wished he could receive the same treatment as Situ Jing.

    "Right! It must be terrible, it doesn''t look cooked at all."

    "Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn''t eat it; I''m afraid it would give me a stomachache."

    Hearing Feng Gu''s muttering, the two elders of the Feng Family nodded along.

    Though they said this, their eyes sparkled as they eyed the roast suckling pig, wishing they could take a bite or two.

    "Oh! This girl won''t even share a bit, no conscience at all," the elder apanying Situ Jing remarked as he drooled at the sight, scolding her.

    Such roast suckling pig might bemon in normal times,

    but being able to eat it in the wilderness was something extraordinary, beyond their wildest dreams.

    And Ye Feng, whenever he wanted to eat, could always have some.

    That''s right, inside Ye Feng''s Ancient Jade Gourd, there were plenty of suckling pigs, and with the perfect ecosystem within, there would constantly be new piglets born.

    Moreover, within the Ancient Jade Gourd, there were many other animals, allowing Ye Feng to cook various dishes, something others simply couldn''tpare to.

    After devouring the roast suckling pig and finishing the red wine, Ye Feng, satisfied, prepared to continue on his journey.

    They had only covered half the distance earlier; the remaining half would still take a few hours.

    If they didn''t hurry, there was no way they''d make it by nightfall.

    Ye Feng had been puzzled why Situ Jing woke him up so early; turns out it was to avoid getting upte and failing to return today.

    Led by Situ Jing, the group traveled for several more hours, arriving at an area shrouded by an array.

    Even without Situ Jing''s guidance, Ye Feng''s abilities would allow them to navigate through this array smoothly.

    Moreover, Situ Jing had grown up here and was incredibly familiar with this ce, quickly leading the group out.

    As they walked out of the array, a paradise appeared before them.

    Indeed, deep in a mountain range, the Situ Family had carved out a valley where nearly a thousand members lived.

    Entering the valley, it suddenly became lively.

    The Situ Family, although resembling a vige, was small yet well-equipped.

    Here, there were entertainment, markets, leisure—everything was avable.

    Even though they were simplified versions, they were still quite impressive.

    Moreover, surprisingly, there were telephones here, and the Situ n members used satellite phones.

    "Miss Jing has returned?"

    "Miss Jing!"

    As Situ Jing appeared with the group, passersby greeted her respectfully.

    Situ Jing, being the daughter of the Patriarch, naturallymanded reverence from many.

    As they went deeper, Ye Feng found the ce quite beautiful and very suitable for living.

    He turned and asked, "Is your Feng Family like this as well?"

    "Though slightly inferior, it''s about the same." Feng Gu nodded, answering truthfully.

    "Very impressive!" Hearing Feng Gu''s response, Ye Feng nodded approvingly.

    The people here were dedicated to cultivation, most of them being excellent cultivators, and the cultivation atmosphere was simply superb.

    Ye Feng casually noticed someone of Grandmaster level, indicating the profound foundation of these hidden families.

    This was the strength of the hidden family, their unique power.

    Previously, Ye Feng had wondered why these hidden families were located deep in the mountains.

    After experiencing it, Ye Feng understood.

    In the deep mountains, although isted and inconvenienced by modern standards,

    the cultivation environment was genuinely excellent, with much richer Spiritual Qi resources.

    Additionally, deep in the mountainsy more natural treasures, allowing for the harvest of rare medicinal herbs,

    Exactly! In the Situ Family''s herb fields, many rare medicinal herbs were cultivated.

    This was the fundamental basis for the Situ Family''s existence.

    Situ Jing led Ye Feng and others directly to the guest amodation area, ensuring they were well taken care of.

    "I''ll go notify the family leaders; please wait here for me." After settling in Ye Feng and the others, Situ Jing, a little embarrassed, indicated.

    "Mm! No problem." Ye Feng casually nodded.

    While Feng Gu and the others seemed a bit displeased, seeing Ye Feng didn''t react, they let it go.

    Indeed, as the Patriarch of the Feng Family, Feng Gu should have been treated with VIP status upon visiting the Situ Family.

    Being set aside like this was enough to anger him.

    However, considering Ye Feng, with his status, didn''t voice anyint, Feng Gu found it inappropriate to speak up.

    ...

    After arranging Ye Feng and the others, Situ Jing eagerly went to report in.

    This concerned the Patriarch of the Situ Family, so every matter needed the approval of the family''s leadership.

    Situ Jing wanted to have Ye Feng try to heal her father, which required high-level consent.

    Knowing Situ Jing had returned, the higher-ups of the Situ Family awaited in the conference hall.

    "Miss Jing, did you obtain it?" The leading elder quickly asked as Situ Jing entered.

    "Hurry, give it to me so I can extend the Patriarch''s life." Beside him, a white-bearded elder stroked his beard and gestured.

    "I didn''t get it; we didn''t have enough money." Situ Jing shook her head.

    "Really?" Hearing this, the leading elder red at the old man beside Situ Jing and asked.

    "Yes!" The elder beside Situ Jing nodded.

    "Can''t even handle such a minor task, what''s the point of you?" Upon hearing Situ Jing had messed up, a young man, with a mocking smile, criticized.

    His sinister gaze suggested he intended to put Situ Jing in a perilous situation...
