Inside the space, Nidhogg looked at the cat that had suddenly appeared and couldn't help but want to give it a good beating. "Master, I really think you're fine with just me."

"Bats... none of them are as cute as me..." He was just out for a stroll when his owner was snatched away by a blood-drinking creature.

"Multi-legged lizard, didn't anyone teach you the rules of this house? When I made a contract with my master, you were probably somewhere doing some shady business!" Bah... stinky lizard... a lizard with four legs, no less.

Nidhogg was extremely displeased: "Hey, hey, hey... what lizard? I'm a dragon, the strongest dragon in our world... you stinky bat, who do you think you are?"

Arcadia scoffed, clearly displeased: "What do you mean, 'who do you think I am'? Do you know I represent the entire vampire race? Can you command your entire race to serve your master? Don't bark like a dog, you multi-legged lizard..."

Seeing that the dragon and the cat were arguing and about to fight, Lin Chaoyan flicked each of them on the forehead to make a shushing gesture, "Shh...did you hear anything?"

"ah…?"

"Um…?"

Lin Chaoyan ignored the two pets and released her divine sense to carefully scan the surroundings. Soon, she spotted a very beautiful blue-breasted rail behind a tree stump in the northwest.

Her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth turned up: "Let's have chicken tonight..." Then she realized what she meant and quickly said, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Let's not talk about chicken, let's be civilized.

The fried chicken ingredients have arrived...

That blue-breasted red-feathered pheasant was quite bold. It tilted its head and stared at Lin Chaoyan for a long time before flapping its beautiful tail feathers and walking towards her.

...Is there something wrong with this chicken's brain?

It seemed to sense Lin Chaoyan's intense malice. The blue-breasted, red-feathered chicken suddenly shrank its neck and flapped its wings in fear, trying to escape.

Perhaps because it was too fat, it couldn't fly. It looked down at its plump body, and Lin Chaoyan felt, whether it was her imagination or not, that the chicken had gained sentience.

She decided to give it a try, and after some extreme maneuvering, Qin Wang circled around the pillar... Lin Chaoyan was basically certain that this was about to turn into chicken essence.

“…This chicken is really smart.” Nidhogg muttered as he landed on Lin Chaoyan’s shoulder.

What a pity! Aside from becoming food, they're useless to their master…

Lin Chaoyan used magic to lift it into the air, and maliciously tempted it: "Hey... bring me a chicken and I won't eat you. I'll even help you become smarter and stronger, transform into a human, and no one will dare to eat you again. How about it?"

Chicken Brother was furious, his eyes blazing with fire, and he began to struggle violently.

Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't—this is too much bullying of the chickens…

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." A man may be killed but not humiliated... Even if you are the ruler of the world, I, Brother Chicken, will never betray my own kind.

"So fat..."

Arcadia looked at the comical fat chicken and wondered if he should raise a whole flock for Lin Chaoyan in the future.

Nidhogg couldn't help but swallow hard as he thought of the fried chicken Lin Chaoyan had described. "It's a bit small, but we should be able to catch a few more and roast them without any problem."

“Hmm! Master, since it doesn’t know what’s good for it, let it die a martyr…” Although he didn’t know that Lin Chaoyan was treating this chicken specially and did not agree with her raising a food, Arcadia, as her most loyal servant, chose to follow her lead.

"It's better for you to die than for me, fellow Daoist. Have you thought this through? I don't care about the chicken, as long as it's as plump as you. Think about all those chickens that bullied you, stole your wife, took your territory, bullied your children, and even your mothers..." Actually, no matter what it chose, Lin Chaoyan didn't intend to eat it. After all, this was the first intelligent creature she had ever encountered in her world.

Arcadia turned back into human form to catch the chicken; his beloved master wanted to eat chicken, so he had to get some.

Arcadia pondered for a moment, then said softly, "It's probably not an ordinary chicken; it's almost at the level of a demon beast." After saying that, he turned around and transformed back into human form to catch the chicken. His dear master wanted to eat chicken, so he had to get it.

It proudly held its head high, awaiting the praise of the world's ruler.

"Hey... what kind of chicken are you? I don't raise useless chickens..." Since we're getting closer to monsters, it's not quite there yet; raising one would definitely waste a lot of good stuff.

Feeling slighted, the chicken stretched its neck in anger, its magnificent tail feathers trembling as if gathering strength. Its entire body radiated a red light visible only to those who cultivated themselves, and the next second, a pillar of fire, two meters in diameter and five meters long, shot out.

After finishing, he looked smug and held his head high.

"Ah...so you're a turkey...Alright! I'll keep you since you're somewhat useful!" With proper cultivation, you might actually become a demon king or something.

"Master, do you want to form a contract with it?" Nidhogg felt that without the constraints of a contract, Lin Chaoyan could control the grown-up demon beast.

A contract? Lin Chaoyan felt like she'd heard a joke. "No way, what kind of good person contracts a chicken? Or a fat chicken that can't even fly. It would be so ugly if it transformed..." Thinking of this, she was filled with disgust.

"Hehehe..." I was actually rejected?! Ugh, this is an absolute disgrace!!

Pick the softest persimmons to squeeze, choose the strongest horses to lead. Lin Chaoyan is the master of this world; it can't afford to offend her, nor dares to. Enraged, it pounced on Nidhogg's legs, hugged them, and began breathing fire.

When Nidhogg realized that he had been looked down upon by a chicken, he quickly transformed back into a four-legged dragon to show his status. With a sweep of his tail, he leveled a distant mountain with a deafening roar.

…A bad start…the chicken-eyed man saw the dragon's bottom…it immediately knelt down before Nidhogg and kowtowed…

"Hehehe..." Brother Long is a magnanimous man, don't stoop to my level, I'm just a little chicken.

Lin Chaoyan was shocked by this bizarre development. She had seen her share of great things, but she never expected to witness something like this.

Nidhogg breathed out dragon fire, his huge dragon eyes revealing disdain.

"Tch... You're already chickening out? How boring."

"You turned back to your true form just to bully a chicken, you're really something..." Along with Arcadia appeared, four chicken corpses were thrown on the ground.

"What right do you have to speak if you're someone who doesn't dare to transform into your true form? You mere stinking bat, how can you compare to our dragon race?"

While the two were arguing, the fire-breathing chicken kneeling on the ground looked at the corpse of its kind, its eyes rolled back, and it fainted.

Monster! ...Kill the chickens!!!

"So timid?" Lin Chaoyan nudged it a few times with her foot, and upon reflection, she realized it was understandable, after all, it was the corpse of one of her own kind.

Lin Chaoyan carried it out of the space along with the chicken on the ground.

Boiling water and plucking feathers were done in one smooth motion...

Chicken drumsticks, wings, and wing tips were separated, resulting in a total of twenty drumsticks, twenty wings, twenty wing tips, and twenty wing tips. Five chicken breasts and five chicken carcasses were used for deep-frying to make salt and pepper seasoning. The remaining chicken meat was pounded, cut into pieces, and then into strips to make fried chicken nuggets and fried chicken strips.

Clean the chicken parts thoroughly. Make two cuts on the surface of the chicken legs and other parts, down to the bone. Place them in a bowl, pour in enough cooking wine and enough water to cover the chicken legs, and soak for 2 hours, changing the water once during this time. Soaking for a long time is to remove the blood from the chicken legs, which can reduce the fishy smell of the chicken.

Add salt, baking soda, sugar, light soy sauce, cooking wine, scallions, ginger, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and white pepper powder, then marinate in the refrigerator for six hours. Lin Chaoyan pounded the chicken breast with a rolling pin; it will be used to fry chicken cutlets later.

"How do I refrigerate it?" She doesn't have an ice spirit root! Can Zhong Yi achieve self-control and freedom?

While she hesitated, Zhong Yi had already prepared a large, hollow ice bucket.

"Here, that's how they do it in Northeast China." She saw this on Douyin (TikTok), and that's how they did it.

Lin Chaoyan quickly gave her a thumbs up! Then she put the ingredients into her space to speed up the process.

"Why are you here?"

He let them leave without worry?

"It's because they were afraid you'd break off the engagement and run away, so they left Sister Ye and Uncle Qiu behind and sent the three of us to be your intermediaries." The triplets felt their scalps tingle and their whole body ache just thinking about that terrifying uncle.

After listening, Lin Chaoyan chuckled and continued frying the chicken without a care. She took a clean large bowl, put in egg yolks and cornstarch, and slowly poured in an appropriate amount of water to make a thin batter.

"Sister, if you don't want to go back, then don't. He can't do anything to Uncle Qiu. Sister Ye's superb medical skills are not to be underestimated." Zhong Qing was helping to hand over the things, but she couldn't help but speak ill of that person directly.

The once free-spirited older sister was trapped in that enormous birdcage and lost herself. This was not what they wanted.

When it was almost time, Lin Chaoyan took out the ingredients, removing the scallions and ginger to prevent them from sticking to the meat during frying.
