Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 244: This Meal Is Poisonous
Chapter 244: This Meal Is Poisonous
“Who are you?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy eyed the four visitors warily. All of them were at the Golden Core Stage, a cultivation realm higher than hers.
Lü Chang's smile grew even wider.
The four of them often roamed the jungle, appearing like ordinary cultivators on the surface, fighting demon beasts and gathering natural treasures. In reality, their original forms were demon beasts, secretly killing and looting people’s possessions, including their storage rings, and trading with humans involved in shady dealings to obtain substantial earnings.
Originally, they had come to discuss their next plan with the lake master, but they hadn’t expected to encounter a young girl here. Foundation Establishment Stage, obedient and adorable, clothes disheveled, and barefoot. She’s probably the young miss of some noble family who has come here to train but got separated from her bodyguards.
This was common. After all, the Golden Core Stage couldn’t be the highest cultivation realm in the jungle. As far as they knew, there was a large elephant demon nearby that was at the Nascent Soul Stage and possessed terrifying strength.
Lü Chang was not as knowledgeable and couldn’t recognize what the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was wearing, but one thing was certain—it was of high quality.
A young miss from an aristocratic family will undoubtedly have many valuable items when out for training. I don’t have to be afraid even if her family comes after her. This is the jungle, where life and death are up to the heavens. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents during their training in the outside world?
If worse comes to worst, I’ll just shift the blame to the humans themselves. After all, they have done things like this many times. Besides, this little lass is even cooking here. It’s obvious that she’s simple-minded—an easy target to deceive.
Lü Chang considered sundry possible scenarios and ascertained that there was no danger before he stepped forward to approach the Everlasting Immortal Fairy amiably. “We are cultivators who have come to gather herbs by the lake. We didn’t expect to find a young girl like you here. This place is very dangerous. Golden Core demon beasts lurk around here; even we don’t dare to stay here for long.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy recalled the lake master she had casually killed with a punch. It was so pathetically weak, no threat at all. She shook her head. “Dangerous? Not at all.”
“That’s because you haven’t encountered danger yet. Where is your family or guardian? It’s very dangerous here!”
“They went to challenge Golden Core demon beasts. I was feeling quite bored, so I ran out... ah, wait, he’s not my guardian!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy instinctively followed Lü Chang's words, only to realize what she had said and hurriedly corrected herself.
The logic is wrong. Lu Yang is just a junior. I’m the elder.
Lü Chang and the other three exchanged glances, convinced that she had sneaked out.
“Fish King, are you here?” Lü Chang secretly tried to communicate with the lake master with his spiritual consciousness, planning to inquire about the girl’s situation and whether they should team up for a big score.
Not around? Lü Chang called out several times with his spiritual consciousness but received no response from the Fish King.
Could he have transformed and gone ashore to search for prey elsewhere? If that’s the case, the lake master can only blame himself for his bad luck. The four of us will be enjoying this unexpected windfall by ourselves.
“Are you looking for fish?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s words startled Lü Chang.
I was using my spiritual consciousness to communicate with the lake master. How could an outsider have noticed?
“Let’s eat then. It’s freshly prepared.”
The Everlasting True Fire burned the branches into ash, then warmed the Beggar’s Fish with the residual heat. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy dug out large chunks of mud from the ashes. After knocking the outer layer of mud and tearing through the lotus leaves beneath, a refreshing aroma suffused the air, prompting Lü Chang and the others to inhale a deep breath.
We’ve lived in the wild for so long, yet this is the first time we have smelled such fragrant food. So this is the wealth and foundation of a big clan? Even the food they eat in the wild is totally different from what we’re used to.
“Eat up, this is the fish you were looking for.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s words seemed to be disjointed.
I may be an immortal chef, but what are immortal chefs? They are still chefs. And chefs love nothing more than to have guests eat their food. Hence, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy generously shared her freshly made Beggar’s Fish with the other four.
Seeing how guileless she appeared, the four didn’t think she would poison them. Moreover, the Beggar’s Fish smelled heavenly. They decided to finish this meal before sending the little girl on her way to the afterlife. We’ll make sure to go easy on her.
The four found a large rock and sat in a circle, enjoying the delicious meal. Lü Chang took out a pair of chopsticks from his storage ring and picked up a piece of fish. However, the fish was so soft that it fell apart with the slightest pressure. He had no choice but to readjust his strength and gingerly pick up another piece. It melted in his mouth, giving the sensation of a ball of water. He couldn’t even taste its flavor before it slid down his throat.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy picked up two small twigs and washed them in the lake, using them as chopsticks. She carefully picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her mouth, savoring the flavor.
“Mmm, delicious.
“By the way, why do you demon beasts want to transform into human form?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy suddenly asked, “Isn’t it said that demon beasts are more agile in their original forms in the jungle?”
The four shot to their feet, towering over the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and staring at her fixedly.
“You know we are demon beasts?!”
“Ah, I’ve long noticed it.”
“Then why didn’t you react at all?”
“Why do I need to react?”
Lü Chang was about to praise her bravery when he felt that the fish meat in his stomach seemed to have turned from water into fire, burning within him until his Eight Extra Meridians were severed. He was drained of strength, and huge beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Thud!
He collapsed to the ground, writhing as he clutched his stomach. The other three followed suit, falling to the ground and staring at the seemingly harmless Everlasting Immortal Fairy in disbelief.
The four of them revealed their true forms. Lü Chang was a fox, while the others were a hedgehog, a snake, and a large lynx.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy realized that the fish was highly poisonous, capable of corroding even Lu Yang’s wooden clone. If this continues, I’ll have to return to Lu Yang’s side very soon.
She secretly activated the Everlasting Dao Fruit and dispersed the poison of the fish.
“What kind of fish is this?! How did you poison us?!” Lü Chang’s eyes were wide open. He was trying to divert the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s attention as he stealthily circulated his cultivation technique to resist the poison.
After seeing through our disguise, this person acted nonchalant and even invited us to eat the meal she had poisoned.

What a schemer!
“It’s the Fish King you were looking for. It wanted to eat me, but I ate it instead.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy said artlessly, “You wanted to look for it, right? It’s a bad demon beast; don’t look for it anymore.” She scrunched up her nose, displeased with the Fish King’s unreasonable behavior.
If this were the ancient era, how could any demon beast have dared to act like this toward me? It would be considered a severe transgression and warranted suicide.
“Isn’t the Fish King a pufferfish?!” Lü Chang was appalled. The Fish King is the master of this lake and an Apex Golden Core pufferfish with lethal poison throughout its body. Most importantly, this little girl is just at the Advanced Foundation Establishment Stage. How could she possibly have defeated the Fish King?
“Go, kill her!” She’s fine after eating the fish; she must have the antidote!” Lü Chang and the other three temporarily suppressed the pufferfish’s poison with their cultivation and launched their attacks.
“Grab her storage ring too!” The four Golden Core cultivators surrounded the Foundation Establishment cultivator. I don’t believe this little lass can still win!
“So you’re just like the big fish. You’re all bad demon beasts!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was upset with the four of them.
I wanted to help cure them of the poison; I didn’t expect them to want to kill me.
