The Devil's Tribulation

At the Dongcheng Inn, Pan Chengfeng was happily chatting with two beauties when the waiter outside called out, "Sir, the food and wine you requested are ready. Do you want to eat downstairs? Or should we bring it up to you?" Pan Chengfeng said, "Bring it up to you and eat." After a while, the waiter set up several tables in the room, with two roast suckling pigs, two roast whole lambs, and dozens of plates of braised beef and Dongpo pork. Pan Chengfeng rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Qian'er, would you like to eat something too?" Qian'er seemed to be used to being called by him now, and Li Qian'er was not so disgusted, so she replied, "I have been fasting for many years and do not need to eat. You can eat."

Pan Chengfeng seemed to have thought of something. He waved his hand and a grill appeared. He shouted, "Waiter, bring a brazier. I want to grill meat!" After a while, the waiter brought a brazier. Pan Chengfeng set up the grill, took out a few pieces of snake meat, and started to grill the snake meat. The waiter's mouth was almost watering. He asked, "Sir, what kind of meat is this? Why is it so fragrant?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and tore off a fist-sized piece of snake meat and gave it to the waiter, saying, "You will know if you try it." The waiter did not hesitate and ate it directly. Pan Chengfeng observed for a long time and saw that the waiter was fine. He finally confirmed, "He is not an ordinary person." After eating the meat, the waiter said, "It is indeed a good thing. Sir, please enjoy it. I will go downstairs. Call me if you have any problems."

After the waiter left, Shuang'er also came over and asked with drooling mouth: "Master, what kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?" Pan Chengfeng hesitated and said: "Shuang'er, this meat~ will increase your strength if you eat it, but it will cost you a lot of suffering, do you still want to eat it?" Shuang'er said without hesitation: "Yes, it smells so good and can increase your strength, why not eat it, hasn't Shuang'er suffered enough? This is not a big deal!" Pan Chengfeng estimated that his mortal body had eaten a small piece of fifth-level body refining meat before, and he felt pain for half an hour. Shuang'er's physical fitness was much better than his previous small body, plus this was only third-level monster meat, so after roasting a whole piece of snake meat, he handed it to Shuang'er, a full half a pound.

Li Qian'er knew what Pan Chengfeng was going to do. Mortals who eat beast meat will suffer, but they can get considerable benefits. Shuang'er took the meat and ate it without hesitation. Not to mention, Shuang'er was a big eater. This piece of meat took only three or four bites in Shuang'er's mouth. After eating, Pan Chengfeng observed Shuang'er's reaction. Sure enough, after a few breaths, Shuang'er frowned, and then immediately covered her stomach and wailed: "Master, Shuang'er's stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much, Shuang'er doesn't want to eat snake meat! Master, please save Shuang'er." Pan Chengfeng hardened his heart: "Shuang'er, hold on, you will be fine soon."

Li Qian'er didn't know what Pan Chengfeng was thinking. Was he deliberately letting Shuang'er suffer more? But this was her apprentice, and she felt sorry for him, so she said, "Use your true Qi to help Shuang'er comb through his veins, which can reduce a lot of pain." Pan Chengfeng was stunned: "Is this even possible?" Then he didn't dare to hesitate. Shuang'er was indeed rolling on the ground in pain, and it seemed to be more serious than his last time. He quickly pressed his palm on Shuang'er's stomach, and a stream of true Qi was injected into Shuang'er's body, helping Shuang'er comb through his veins and accelerate the absorption of the energy of the beast meat.

Sure enough, after Pan Chengfeng's true energy entered Shuang'er's body, Shuang'er felt less pain. Twenty minutes later, Shuang'er could no longer feel the pain. Pan Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and retracted his palm. He just felt a surge of energy running rampant in Shuang'er's body. Fortunately, he intervened in time to guide and relieve this energy, otherwise Shuang'er might die. Pan Chengfeng blamed himself for a while and said, "I made a wrong estimate and gave Shuang'er too much. Fortunately, Qian'er reminded me." It seems that Pan Chengfeng is not qualified to be a teacher. Such a teacher will kill his students.

Shuang'er stood up and said, "Don't blame me, Master. It was Shuang'er who wanted to eat it. Although it hurts, the meat is really delicious!" She smiled sweetly. Seeing Shuang'er was fine, Pan Chengfeng was relieved and asked in the tone of Uncle Niu, "How do you feel?" Shuang'er was stunned and said, "What do you feel? Nothing?" Pan Chengfeng now knew Uncle Niu's mood and asked anxiously, "Don't you feel any changes in your body? Is your strength stronger?" Shuang'er finally reacted and said, "It seems so? It's stronger." Pan Chengfeng puffed up his belly and said, "Hit me in the stomach. Master, I will measure your strength and hit you with all my strength." It must be said that what kind of master leads what kind of apprentice, Pan Chengfeng completely copied Uncle Niu's teaching process.

Shuang'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Really?" Pan Chengfeng glared at her and said, "Fight, your strength is not enough to hurt the young master!" Shuang'er said timidly, "Then I really hit you?" Pan Chengfeng patted his stomach and said, "Come on, use all your strength!" Shuang'er closed her eyes and swung her little fist at Pan Chengfeng. With a bang, she punched Pan Chengfeng in the face. Shuang'er opened her eyes and saw that she missed the target and said hurriedly, "Young master, are you okay? Shuang'er didn't mean it." Pan Chengfeng touched her face and said, "It's okay. Did you use all your strength?" Shuang'er said, "Yes, I used all my strength." Pan Chengfeng estimated and said, "It's about 1500 pounds. It may increase a little in a few days, reaching about 2000 pounds. Not bad, the hard work was not in vain."

Li Qian'er also laughed and said, "2000 jin of strength, almost reaching the physical strength of the 5th level of Qi training. Beast meat is really a good thing." Pan Chengfeng smiled and took a few pieces of snake meat to Li Qian'er, saying flatteringly, "Qian'er, eat some beast meat. Although it doesn't help your injury much, it can still help you improve your physical strength." Li Qian'er didn't pretend and took the snake meat and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist." Pan Chengfeng was happy, rolled up his sleeves and went to have a big meal. He also called Shuang'er and said, "Shuang'er, you don't have the blessing of beast meat, come and have some braised beef." The master and servant went to the table together and ate big pieces. Qian'er saw the way the two of them ate and sighed, "If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door."

On the first floor of the East City Inn, after the waiter went downstairs, he sneaked up to the shopkeeper and whispered, "Shopkeeper, it's not good!" The shopkeeper turned around and slapped him in the face! He glared and said, "You are the one who is not good! I don't know how good it is!" The waiter quickly changed his words and said, "It's my fault, I was discovered!" The shopkeeper slapped him in the face again and said, "I know, who made you greedy!" The waiter covered his cheeks and said in a voice transmission, "Master, what should I do? The disciple seems to have been discovered." The shopkeeper said, "What else can we do? Play dumb~ We pretend not to know, and they won't break this window paper. When we make enough money, we can leave." The shopkeeper was really right. Pan Chengfeng would not easily break it, at least not recently. The waiter looked strange and said, "Master, do you really think you can make enough money?" The shopkeeper raised his hand and slapped his apprentice again and said, "Who told you not to hold me at that time! I made a bet with that old thing, what else can I do!" After that, both the master and the apprentice were silent.

In the guest room on the second floor, Pan Chengfeng and Shuang'er were already full. Pan Chengfeng picked his teeth with a homemade toothpick and said, "These ordinary domestic animals not only don't taste good, but also get stuck in my teeth. Oh~ I really miss the days when I couldn't finish the meat." After dinner, he scolded the cook, and after chanting, he beat the monk. Shuang'er also had a round belly and said, "Master, Shuang'er feels like I've eaten more than before. If I get fat, the master will not like Shuang'er anymore." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "No, just exercise after dinner." Shuang'er asked hurriedly, "How to exercise?" Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "It doesn't seem appropriate for a girl to stand upside down." So he said, "After dinner, Shuang'er will go for a few laps, and the master will teach you aerobics and yoga. I guarantee that Shuang'er's figure will get better and better!"

Shuang'er stood up and said, "Master, teach me now, or I'll get fat!" Pan Chengfeng glanced at Li Qian'er who was meditating with her eyes closed, and whispered to Shuang'er, "Let's go next door." Aerobics and yoga are still too avant-garde for women in this conservative society. Pan Chengfeng was afraid of being called a hooligan by Li Qian'er, so he planned to teach Shuang'er secretly. As soon as they left, Li Qian'er opened her eyes and thought to herself, "What secret technique? It can make your body better? I have never heard of it, and you are practicing it behind my back! Humph~"

The next day, Pan Chengfeng got up early and went to the door of Li Qian'er and Shuang'er. He knocked on the door and said, "Are you all up? I have something to discuss with you." After a while, Li Qian'er's voice came out, "Daoyou, please come in." Pan Chengfeng pushed the door open and found Shuang'er doing the yoga 'bridge pose'. Li Qian'er also had an unnatural expression and thought to herself, "How could this person teach Shuang'er these shameful movements? Shuang'er practiced all night without meditating to feel the spiritual energy!"

Pan Chengfeng blushed for a rare time, and looked at Shuang'er awkwardly and said, "Shuang'er! Didn't we agree to practice when we were alone?!" Shuang'er said excitedly, "Shuang'er has practiced all night, and I feel like I'm more energetic." Pan Chengfeng looked at Li Qian'er awkwardly and said, "Qian'er, don't get me wrong, these movements are indeed effective in fitness and body shaping. How about I teach you, and you practice with Shuang'er?" Li Qian'er pouted and whispered, "Who wants to practice these... Don't you have something to do? What's the matter?"
