For the new leader, Chen Chong, who had replaced the Blood General, Li Butler did not dare to be negligent and immediately led the way through the courtyard corridors to a cellar located behind the mansion. They descended the stairs and unlocked the iron door with a key.
Chen Chong stepped into the storage room first, feeling a wave of cold air hit him.
Li Butler quickly explained: "Leader, this is ice made from nitre to lower the temperature, which is beneficial for storage. Except for the distributed items, all the estate's produce is right here."
Chen Chong nodded, surveying the storage room, which was not small, with an area of about a hundred square meters, divided into several compartments, filled with various supplies.
Chen Chong stepped inside, his gaze sweeping over the room.
Vegetables, fruits, flour, wine, large quantities of meat... a wide variety of abundant supplies, neatly arranged, would make any survivor's eyes gleam with excitement and joy!
However, Chen Chong's focus was not on these items. He moved past them and entered the innermost room of the storage area, where his eyes suddenly brightened.
This room appeared empty, with only a few baskets inside, most of which were empty. But Chen Chong noticed one basket filled with longan-sized fruits, exquisite in appearance and emitting a refreshing aroma that made one's mouth water.
These were the spiritual energy fruits.
Chen Chong briefly scanned the basket, which contained about a hundred jin (approximately 50 kg), with at least two to three hundred fruits!
Chen Chong's eyes were filled with joy, but he calmly turned to Li Butler and asked, "Are these the only spiritual energy fruits?"
Li Butler hurriedly replied, "Leader, these spiritual energy fruits are exclusively for the Blood General. He consumes nearly ten jin a day, and these are all that's left for this month."
Chen Chong nodded with satisfaction. His appetite had been growing, and he had long been in a state of hunger and malnutrition. He could not endure electrotherapy practice for long, and most of the time, he still relied on step-by-step cultivation. With an ample supply of food and spiritual energy fruits after replacing the Blood General, his cultivation speed would inevitably soar!
"I'm hungry. Tell the kitchen to prepare a feast for me right away, something substantial and filling!"
Thinking of this, feeling the hunger in his stomach, Chen Chong picked up the basket of spiritual energy fruits and laughed heartily:
"I remember seeing a dog tied up when I came in. Did the Blood General own it? Slaughter it for me too!"
...
As Chen Chong's orders were issued, the chefs, eager to impress the new leader, worked with incredible efficiency. In less than half an hour, servants quickly brought in dishes to the dining room, placing more than a dozen steaming, fragrant dishes on the table in front of Chen Chong. Most of them were meat dishes, especially the large pot in the center of the table, with large chunks of tender, stewed dog meat boiling in the thick soup, emitting an irresistible aroma.
As the saying goes, "Dog meat rolls, even the gods cannot sit still." Chen Chong, who had not had a full meal since arriving at the territory, could no longer contain himself. He immediately捞出 a hind leg from the pot, tore off the tender, fragrant meat, and chewed and swallowed it in a few bites. Then he casually picked up a plate of oily, roasted meat ribs and poured them directly into his mouth, chewing and swallowing even the bones without spitting them out.
As the servants stood by in awe, Chen Chong demonstrated what it meant to be a glutton and a big eater. In just a few minutes, the pot of dog meat was completely consumed, with only a few sips of soup remaining. The remaining roast meat disappeared at an astonishing speed on the table, like a wind sweeping away clouds.
Such a feast, enough to satisfy seven or eight people, was devoured by Chen Chong in less than twenty minutes!
All the servants standing by felt utterly shocked.
"Phew..."
Finally feeling the long-lost sensation of fullness in his stomach, Chen Chong leaned back in his chair and let out a deep sigh. His digestive power had reached an inhuman level; despite being well-fed at the moment, he could quickly return to a state of hunger once he practiced his "Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong" to refine essence into energy. However, with the resources of the entire territory at his disposal, he no longer had to worry about food.
Knock, knock, knock... Knock, knock, knock...
At that moment, the faint sound of someone knocking on the door upstairs caught Chen Chong's attention, and he raised his eyebrows.
Housekeeper Li hurried upstairs to investigate, then returned and whispered cautiously in Chen Chong's ear, "Leader, it's the four women locked upstairs. One of them is clamoring to see you, claiming to have a secret about Blood General."
"Oh?" Chen Chong's eyebrows twitched as he, standing tall, rose from his chair. "Let's go see."
Housekeeper Li thought Chen Chong was in the mood for some pleasure and tactfully didn't follow him upstairs. Chen Chong, not bothered by this, went up to the second floor alone and opened the room where the four women were held.
"You wanted to see me?" Chen Chong's figure blocked the doorway, his gaze sweeping over them. "Who said they had a secret about Blood General to tell me?"
The scene he had imagined, with the four women trembling in fear, did not happen. Instead, upon opening the door, four scantily-clad women with Large areas of snow-white skin stood side by side, their eyes hazy and boldly staring at him. It seemed they had already accepted the fact that Blood General was dead and replaced, and strange thoughts had emerged in their minds.
"Leader, it's me," a particularly seductive-looking woman among them stepped forward, her chest quivering as she lightly bit her lips. "I know a little secret about Blood General that I can tell you."
"Oh? What's your name?" Sensing the peculiar atmosphere in the room, Chen Chong frowned and impatiently asked, "What secret is it?"
"I'm Li Yun."
The woman who called herself Li Yun had a slender figure, and her snow-white skin emanated an alluring sheen. The glimpses of her exposed body were breathtaking as she boldly said, "I'll tell you if you agree to one condition!"
"Are you Li Yun? The one who had an affair with Li Bao?"
Immediately recalling the name, Chen Chong's face showed no concealment of his mocking expression, as if watching an ant bargain with an elephant. He sneered, "I'm curious, what condition can you propose?"
Chen Chong remembered the name Li Yun being mentioned during the trial as Li Bao's motive for his treacherous actions. Although he didn't know much about the story filled with jealousy, he could tell that Li Yun was not a good person. But with the mansion changing hands and Blood General dead at his hands, he was curious as to why Li Yun dared to propose a condition to him and who gave her the courage to do so.
"Sleep with me!"
However, at that moment, staring intently at Chen Chong's tall and mighty figure, Li Yun's seductive face suddenly flushed with excitement, and she licked her lips. "Sleep with me, and if the leader does it with us here and now, I'll tell you this little secret!"
Chen Chong's face immediately stiffened, and his facial muscles involuntarily twitched.
