Chapter 2039 Showing Off
The group marveled at Little Shrubby and the small display of his abilities.
But they didn't know that this was barely the tip of the iceberg. ~WHOOSH~
Little Shrubby jumped off the ship and out into the sky. He hovered in the air and looked at Lin Mu for a bit who nodded in response.
~ROAR~
Little Shrubby let out a thunderous roar before turning into a red blur.
~WOOOO~
Even though the ship was flying at a high speed through the sky, Little Shrubby's managed to make it tremble from the mere wind generated from his movement.
~SHUA~
The group watched as the red blur ran far ahead of the ship before turning to the right and circling around in a radius of a kilometer.
"He's faster than me…" Daoist Chu spoke seeing Little Shrubby's blurry form.
They were on a fast moving ship, which was already faster than most immortals and Little Shrubby was overcoming that with ease.
"He's even faster on land." Lin Mu said as if it wasn't shocking enough. "He's a big slower in sky since he doesn't have a solid surface to run on." He added.
Lin Mu didn't know why, but he felt a bit proud showing off Little Shrubby. It sparked a bit of new joy in his heart, while Little Shrubby seemed to enjoy the attention too.
"Even faster than this? Isn't that already touching upon the speed of a Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal?" Monk Hushu estimated.
"Hoho… Just his speed alone is enough to contend against those several times stronger than him." Crown Prince said while stroking his chin.
After a minute or so, Little Shrubby returned to the deck having showed off enough.
~shua~
Little Shrubby shrank back to his kitten form and came back to sit on the table.
Crown Princess Shang, Daoist Chu and Monk Hushu almost felt like they had seen an illusion earlier. It was hard to think that the small kitten on the table was the same as the speedy giant beast earlier.
~huu~
The three of them took a collective breath and calmed down. While it was quite surprising to them, they also managed to recover fast enough. After all, they had all trained in the Immortal Court and had seen many more beasts with shocking abilities.
And yet, Little Shrubby's most shocking ability had yet to be reveled.
"What kind of food do you like, Crown Prince Feng Shun, Crown Princess Shang?" Lin Mu suddenly asked them.
"Some nicely marbled steak from a Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beast or above." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke in an entertained tone. 'Where is he getting at with this?' he wondered.
"Ah, a man of my own tastes." Lin Mu replied. "Excellent choice. How about you Princess?""
"Some milk stewed fish of a similar cultivation base as what Crown Prince said." She replied.
~Meow~ This time Little Shrubby replied, showing that he agreed with the Crown princess's choice.
"That can work too." Lin Mu said before looking at little Shrubby. "You know what to do."
~Growl~
"Time for a FEAST!" Little Shrubby said with a growl before growing in size again.
But he didn't return to his full size, instead keeping to a size that a normal tiger would be of.
"What're you doing?" Crown Princess Shang asked, while the others watched on.
The Crown Prince didn't say anything instead watching in silence and enjoying. He didn't know what kind of show Lin Mu and Little Shrubby were putting on, but he was up for it.
"How about we treat you all to a nice meal?" Lin Mu replied instead.
"A meal?" Crown Princess Shang repeated before looking at Little Shrubby that seemed to be pulling out cooking utensils one after the other. "Wait… It's Little Shrubby that's gonna be cooking?" "Of course." Lin Mu confirmed. "I assure you… It is nothing but excellent." The Crown Princess couldn't help but feel amazed while the Crown Prince approved of it. "Go ahead." Feng Shun clapped his hands.
~Thud~thud~thud~
Little Shrubby then took out the beast corpses they had obtained before.
~shua~shua~shua~
Next, five prosthetic hands appeared which floated around him. The hands took hold of several knives and started to expertly carve up the beasts.
The group watched on, as a beast prepared their next meal. While they were doing this though, Lin Mu recalled something.
"Ah yeah! Is it fine if I invite one more person to join us?" Lin Mu suddenly asked.
"Sure." The Crown Prince saw no reason to deny. Lin Mu and Little Shrubby were the ones treading them this tonight after all.
"Thanks." Lin Mu said before going downstairs.
While he was gone, they saw Little Shrubby moving onto the cooking part. The meat had all been chopped up and large steaks that were about a meter in size were being laid on a grill. On the size, a pair of hands had also finished deboning an Immortal Sail Fin Marlin.
A large pot that was filled with milk was boiling on the side, into which Little Shrubby added the fish. He then added a few herbs before closing the lid and letting it simmer.
~step~step~step~
In this time, Lin Mu also made his return.
"Oh? So this is our last member for the meal." Crown Prince Feng Shun noticed the woman with the white hair.
"You all should have met already, but this is Mei Nienzhen." Lin Mu introduced her as a formality.
She had asked him to treat her too, and Lin Mu hadn't forgotten the promise.
Since he was using Little Shrubby to show off, Lin Mu reckoned he could also fulfill the promise at the same time by doing this.
Mei Nienzhen though didn't even look at the group, instead staring at the beast cooking below. Or more accurately at the piles of food that was being made.
There was already a tantalizing scent coming from it that lured her attention.
"Beast Cook… I want one too…" Mei Nienzhen said with stars in her eyes.
