This finally relieved their anger. If not, they would have been truly infuriated. That giant rooster had almost plunged them into an endless abyss. Even though they had saved their lives, they had lost the Nuwa Stone.
Ye Tiancheng and Fatty were extremely displeased with Ouyang Xinnuo, who had transformed into this giant rooster. At this moment, their only thought was to make this giant rooster pay a heavy price.
"Brother Ye, hurry and smell this. It even has a barbecue aroma. This rooster's meat must be especially fragrant. We have a dish to go with our drinks now."
Ye Tiancheng was still a bit unsettled, knowing that Fatty was deliberately saying this to distract him, likely not wanting him to fall into negative emotions.
"Go and take a look."
Ye Tiancheng was quite cooperative. After all, he felt Fatty's sincerity and wanted to give his brother some face. Since his brother was trying to lighten the mood, he couldn't be unappreciative.
Fatty went to take a look and found that the giant rooster had suddenly shrunk, returning to its normal size. It was no longer as gigantic as before, which had been a headache just to look at. It seemed that the dark energy had indeed made this ordinary rooster strangely transformed. Now that it had returned to normal, it was actually fine.
"Brother Ye, I was joking at first, but it seems this chicken is really edible. It smells so good!"
"It just so happens that we haven't eaten meat for a long time. When we were trapped in that big pit, I knew you were hungry too. So, don't hold back, let's just eat it."
Ye Tiancheng also needed an outlet for his frustration. This giant rooster had almost taken both their lives, so Ye Tiancheng couldn't completely let go. The only thing he could do was to retaliate as much as possible to feel better.
Otherwise, to be constantly bullied by the giant rooster without being able to fight back, no matter what, there would be some lingering issues.
"Alright, then I'll do a little more processing. Great luck, great fortune. I see the sky is about to darken. Tonight, we'll eat chicken!"
After they finished this meal, they would need to rest again. The prolonged fatigue and mental tension had put both of them in an abnormal state. The best solution now was to have a good feast. Perhaps only then could their bodies and minds be comforted.
"Okay, I trust your cooking. I'll set up the tent first. I'm so tired, my eyes can barely stay open. I need to sleep for a while before I wake up."
Compared to his body, Ye Tiancheng's heart was even more tired. His entire heart was exhausted. Perhaps only a good sleep could help him forget some of the painful things.
"Okay, Brother Ye, I'll help you set up the tent first. The blankets are still usable. You rest well first and don't think too much. As long as we brothers are together, I believe no one can do anything to us. We are the perfect combination."
Ye Tiancheng's complexion was a bit pale, and his smile held a hint of fatigue, but overall, he still seemed alright, with some spirit and energy.
Without further hesitation, they got straight to work. Soon, they had set up the tent and placed the blankets inside. As Ye Tiancheng lay in the blanket, he finally believed that he had come back to life.
Back in that endless abyss, Ye Tiancheng felt 99% certain that he was going to die. He never expected to have a day to breathe the air alive again, to lie there and be lazy. It turned out that not doing anything was also a kind of happiness. As long as one lived happily, it was fine. After all, life is a process, and living this process well is success.
"Brother Ye, I'll go deal with the roasted rooster. You sleep for a while, okay? I'll wake you up in about half an hour."
"I'll wait for you. We'll eat something together and then sleep. Otherwise, you definitely won't be able to wake me up in half an hour. I'm too tired. I don't know when I'll wake up from this sleep."
That fatigue was from the depths of his soul. Ye Tiancheng knew very well that he couldn't be woken up in half an hour. He didn't know how long he would sleep, perhaps for a very, very long time. But that exhaustion made Ye Tiancheng realize that no matter how long it took, as long as he could sleep, it was fine. Ye Tiancheng could no longer withstand even a little bit of pressure. He was too tired, indescribably tired.
"Alright, then I won't waste any more time. Anyway, Miss Xue'er's little phoenix spat out a flame and directly roasted the rooster. Moreover, this rooster is now very nourishing, as its entire body is filled with the spiritual energy of the little phoenix. Eating it will also be beneficial for cultivation, so let's just eat it directly. There's no need to add any extra seasonings and waste time."
Ye Tiancheng felt that Fatty's words made sense. Moreover, Ye Tiancheng really couldn't wait any longer and wanted to fall asleep immediately, feeling as if he was dreaming for a thousand years.
"Okay, then hurry and bring it over. Let's eat it quickly."
It was truly magical. The rooster that had been incredibly powerful under Ouyang Xinnuo's dark energy, almost killing them both, had now become a delicious delicacy placed before them.
They feasted heartily and then fell silent. After eating, the drowsiness became even more severe. Ye Tiancheng didn't even want to speak, nor did he give Fatty a glance. He simply lay down and fell asleep.
Fatty didn't bother. He directly dealt with the chicken bones they had left. He didn't expect the rooster's meat to be quite tender. People often said that rooster meat was tough and not very tasty, but this rooster's meat was indeed delicious. In any case, Fatty was very satisfied.
"Brother Ye, you fell asleep so quickly!"
After Fatty threw out the garbage and returned to the tent, he found that Ye Tiancheng was already snoring lightly. Since they often slept together, Fatty had a very accurate understanding of Ye Tiancheng. He knew that once this sound was made, it wasn't just about sleeping, but about being sound asleep.
"Alright, after experiencing so much, it's no wonder you're tired. It's normal for you to be tired. Sleep, I'll be sleeping soon too."
Fatty originally wanted to tidy up a bit more, as the tent was even more tattered after this ordeal, making it presentable. But Fatty suddenly felt extremely sleepy too. The tent was still a mess, yet he chose to rest first.
As soon as Fatty lay down and his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep instantly. His sleep quality was much better than Ye Tiancheng's, and it had always been like this.
Fatty woke up first, feeling refreshed. It was as if something heavy in his mind had been lifted, and now it was gone, leaving a very clear feeling. His entire body felt light, like a feeling of being reborn and floating in ecstasy.
However, Fatty was a bit surprised that it was already dusk. This meant he had slept for a full day and night. He had closed his eyes and lost consciousness for 24 hours before waking up. This was simply absurd.
Even more absurd was that Fatty had finally woken up, but Ye Tiancheng had not woken up at all. He was still calling out to Fatty. At first, Fatty smiled, but then he felt something was wrong and called out to Ye Tiancheng.
"Brother Ye, it's about time, shouldn't you wake up?"
"Let me sleep a little longer, I'm so tired."
Ye Tiancheng wasn't unable to wake up, but he simply didn't want to. Perhaps it was a form of escapism. Of course, another possibility was that the tent was set up so comfortably by Fatty, and outside the desert, there was a whistling wind. Apart from the wind, everything else was very quiet, which made one feel very sleepy.
"But it's already been a day and a night, Brother Ye. I'm afraid you're hungry. How about I make you something to eat?"
Fatty thought about it and felt that his decision was correct. Fortunately, they had eaten something before sleeping. Otherwise, how would they have gotten through this day and night? Sleeping also consumed energy, although not as much as when awake. However, if their energy was depleted, they would wake up hungry. Now, Ye Tiancheng clearly didn't need any energy. It seemed that the taste and nutritional value of this charcoal-roasted rooster were very satisfactory.
"I'm not hungry yet, let me sleep a little longer. If you're hungry, find something to eat. I can't take care of you anymore, brother. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
Now he couldn't bother with anything else. Ye Tiancheng just wanted to sleep. The fatigue from the depths of his soul had not lessened much, and his eyes were so stiff that he couldn't open them. All these symptoms indicated that Ye Tiancheng was simply unable to wake up. At this moment, his only goal was to continue sleeping.
Being woken up when one wants to sleep is a terrible feeling. As they say, the happiest thing is to wake up naturally. Fatty understood this about Ye Tiancheng, so he didn't continue to call him to get up. He went outside the tent to roast some potatoes to eat.
After eating, he returned and found that Ye Tiancheng was still sleeping. The key was that Fatty was no longer sleepy and was extremely bored. He then went out to wander around aimlessly until it got dark. Fatty became hungry again and roasted a few more potatoes. After eating, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.
The next morning, when Fatty woke up, he found that Ye Tiancheng was gone. This startled Fatty, who thought something had happened. He rushed out of the tent and started shouting Ye Tiancheng's name loudly, his voice hoarse from shouting. Suddenly, Ye Tiancheng appeared.
"Alright, I'm fine. I just went out for a walk to see if there was anything to eat. I wanted to eat something fresh, and I managed to catch a few fish. We have fried fish to eat again."
"Okay, Brother Ye, I'll start cooking for you right away. Are you awake?"
Regarding this question, Ye Tiancheng was not fully awake, but he was disturbed by the sudden events in the early morning, making it impossible for him to fall back asleep.
Lin Xue's little phoenix flew over, but it was very weak now and had transformed back into the state of a little yellow chicken.
