Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1225

1225 Eater of Stars

"You know, you basically got bought out by him." Dragon Goddess Yeyou said to Feng Yuming shortly afterward.

"So what? I will gladly sell myself out for a billion-year-old Smoldered Phoenix Egg. You may not understand its importance to me right now, but you will in a hundred thousand years when I become so strong that even you cannot touch me." Feng Yuming sneered.

"Oh? So you think you'll be stronger than me after eating that egg? I cannot wait to see your defeated face in a hundred thousand years…"

"Who said I'm not stronger than you now? The egg will only make the difference that much larger and more obvious."

"Why don't we put that nonsense to the test right now, then?" Dragon Goddyess Yeyou's eyes flared up with killing intent.

"It'd be my pleasure…" Feng Yuming's body began releasing flames.

"Dragon Goddess, this isn't how you should welcome a new companion. I promised you that I'd spar with you after this, so you can release your anger on me." Tian Yi quickly interrupted them, as he did not want to lose one of his traveling companions so soon after getting another one.

"Hmph. Forget it, I don't feel like it anymore. If you want to travel with this dumb pigeon, you can do so alone." And without saying anything else, Dragon Goddess Yeyou flew away, disappearing into the starry sky.

Feng Yuming looked at Tian Yi and asked him, "Why didn't you try to stop her?"

He smiled and said, "Because she had every right to leave whenever she pleased, as do you. But I have a feeling that she won't be gone for long and will eventually return to our side once she calms down."

"You're a weird human— unlike any other human that I've come across before." Feng Yuming said.

"I will take that as a compliment."

"Well, what do you plan on doing now?"

"I'm going to find the Divine Serpent known as Eater of Stars and have a chat with them." Tian Yi said.

"Eater of Stars? Are you insane? What do you hope to achieve from contacting that monster?" Feng Yuming had a look of disbelief on her face after hearing such an ominous name.

"You are familiar with the Eater of Stars?" Tian Yi looked at her glistening eyes.

"Of course. She is a notorious entity that does nothing good for the world— an unreasonable monster with an insatiable appetite that constantly consumes stars as though it is always on the verge from dying of hunger. I wouldn't get close to the Eater of Stars if I were you, as you would most likely get eaten by her before you could even say anything. In fact, I don't even know if she has the ability to communicate like I do."

"The Eater of Stars is female, as well? Have you ever spoken with her?" Tian Yi asked, his gaze filled with interest, almost as if he was a child before an amusement park.

"No, I have never spoken with her before, nor do I have the desire to do so. I have seen her consume stars from a distance a few times, but that's about it."

"If you've never spoken to her, then how do you know that she's consuming stars without reason?"

"Because she's been doing it since the Primordial Era, and nothing has ever come out of it."

"Fascinating… How fascinating! I must speak with the Eater of Stars, and if I am lucky, I might even find out why she is doing what she's been doing for eons."

"..." Feng Yuming was speechless. The more she gave him reasons to not approach the Eater of Stars, the more he seemed to be interested.

'He might actually have a screw loose in his head…' She thought to herself.

'Whatever. If he dies, I will just get my hands on the Smoldered Phoenix Egg sooner…'

"Do you know how we can find the Eater of Stars?" Tian Yi then asked.

"No, but it shouldn't be too hard to follow her trail, especially considering that she always leaves behind a trail of destruction."

"Alright. Then let's get going."

Thus, Tian Yi and Feng Yuming began their journey in search of the Eater of Stars.
