Chapter 859 - 835: Yu Family Internal Conflict (1/3)
This little child wore a thick beast skin coat, but his little face was still red from the cold, and snot hung under his nose, just about to fall when he hurriedly sniffed, sending it back, only for it to stubbornly come out again.
"Hey, check out this piece of Starry Iron! I stole it from my grandpa!" The little child offered the black iron like a treasure, full of anticipation on his face.
He was the little master of the Yu Family, named Yu Xiong, a mighty name indeed, yet still just a brat, who, if not for the cold weather, would definitely be chasing flying birds with his bare bottom.
The Yu Family was a prestigious family in Linfeng Town, and Yu Xiong had particularly good fortune; his father was the current Family Head, while his grandfather was the former one. Unless something unexpected happened, he would eventually take over his father’s position as the new Family Head of the Yu Family.
A month ago, this brat ran off to play in the small woods in the outskirts but ended up witnessing a peculiar scene—a youth gnawing on stones!
Curious, he brought the severely injured youth back to the Yu Family and hid him in the woodshed, secretly giving him food every day. However, his mischievous nature drove him to bring all sorts of random items, like stones and pieces of iron.
To Yu Xiong, this was too much fun.
Needless to say, this boy who could eat anything was none other than the Little Foodie, Wang Ke. After the Zhao Family’s defeat, he got separated from others and fled to this bitterly cold land using the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, almost unable to move. If not for Yu Xiong’s aid, he would have died in that desolate wilderness.
His gifted ability allowed him to consume any material to restore spiritual power, but he was also compelled to eat large quantities daily. If his appetite wasn’t satisfied, his energy would falter, and he might even starve to death.
Benefits, yet inevitable drawbacks.
However, this bitter cold land also produced ice-covered grass, which lacked spiritual power, and Yu Xiong wasn’t interested in watching him eat grass. So apart from beast meat, he offered peculiar items like stones and iron pieces, nearly halting the Small Foodie’s recovery speed.
The Small Foodie accepted the piece of Starry Iron, and his gifted ability immediately activated. He instantly showed a hint of joy; this piece was extremely valuable and could at least heal a little bit of his injuries!
