[v]Laugh at me for being a loser? You'll all kneel down after you awaken your talent!

Bai Huang heard his thunderous snoring and her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

I ignored him; he was just a disheartened man who had lost an arm and shouldn't pose any threat to me.

Bai Huang silently squatted down to pack her things and walked towards the room next door.

When she got to her room, she found that there was only one bed, which was empty and obviously prepared for her.

"There aren't any female soldiers in the cookhouse." Pu Pu jumped onto his shoulder and started to whine to Bai Huang, "Bai Bai, can we go out and play? Man Xin said she'd take us out to find little monsters to eat."

The demon crystals inside a demon beast are indeed a great tonic for spirit beasts.

"I'll take you there later." Bai Huang was worried about Luo Jing.

Pu Pu shook the flower bud on her forehead and continued, "I also want to bring the little green python with me."

Bai Huang frowned in surprise, "Why did you bring it with you?"

The little green python was weak, so why would Pu Pu be willing to take it along? Logically speaking, Bai Huang shouldn't have agreed, but she was afraid that restricting the little green python too much would put pressure on it.

"If you take her out, you'll have to take good care of her. Are you confident you can do that?"

Pu Pu nodded quickly.

There was another commotion outside, and Bai Huang put the things down and went out.

Two more people joined the spot where the men were originally sitting outside.

He looked as thin as a stick, was blind in one eye, and wore a black eye patch with a greasy residue on it.

Beside him was a very short man, who could be said to only reach Bai Huang's waist. He had a broken leg and was using an iron frame to support his leg as he sat with his eyes closed, resting.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Bai Huang felt that the three people exuded a fierce aura the moment she opened the door, but when she looked closely, she found that there was nothing there.

"You're the new recruit?" The blind, skinny man glanced at her and nodded with a hint of disapproval. "Not bad, right? By the way, you don't know our names yet, do you?"

He first pointed to the one-armed man next to him who was drunk, "This is Chef One-Arm, our boss here, you can just call him Uncle Chef."

Then he pointed to the dwarf-like man, "This is Chef Er Tui, you can call him Chef Er Uncle."

Chef Ertui raised his face; he didn't look that old. He nodded to her in a friendly manner.

"As for me, my name is Chef Three-Eyes, just call me Uncle Three." These names are all quite strange.

The blind man pointed to himself and said, "Here, the training outside has nothing to do with you. You have to listen to us. The instructors outside have nothing to do with you, understand?"

Bai Huang nodded, knowing that one should abide by the rules of a new place.

Chef Sanyan touched the blindfold on his face. "Alright, it's still early before cooking. Go to the back kitchen and wash the vegetables."

Having been used to wielding swords these past two days, Bai Huang was a little taken aback by this request.

Chef Sanyan's eyes widened, and he shouted imposingly, "What's wrong? Little genius, is it too much of a burden for you to wash vegetables?"

Bai Huang pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing that she had gone around to the back kitchen, Chef Sanyan wiped the water off his hands and punched Chef Yi, who was fast asleep next to him.

"Alright, stop pretending." He leaned back in his chair and picked his teeth with his fingers. "How was it?"

Chef Yi, who had been keeping his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them. He looked at Chef San and chuckled, "This little girl is very wary. I only made a gesture, and she was already ready to pounce and bite me."

Although he said that, he looked quite happy.

'Boom dong dong'

There was a knock at the door, and the cook called out, "Come in!"

Fei Yingying walked in. She seemed to have just returned from training the new recruits, with several jars of strong liquor tucked under her arm.

Fei Yingying showed not a trace of arrogance on her face.

She bowed respectfully to each of the three men.

The cook rummaged in his greasy pocket for a long time, pulled out two large sunflower seeds, popped them into his mouth and crunched them open, mumbling, "What wind blew you here, Instructor Fei? Don't you usually refuse to talk to the three of us old guys?"

Chef Ertui looked at Fei Yingying with a smile and beckoned, "Come and sit down."

Chef San glanced in the direction Bai Huang had disappeared, then looked at the wine tucked under Fei Yingying's arm, lost in thought.

"Masters, please don't dismiss me." The fearless Fei Yingying felt her scalp tingle as soon as she saw the three of them, and quickly begged for mercy, handing over the strong liquor in her hand and personally refilling their bowls. "It's not that I ignored you, it's that you yourselves said you wanted to hide your identities and stay in the military camp."

Fei Yingying sighed, "Old Master Gu has invited the three of you to live in the Gu family several times, but you all refused. Feng Huang also asked someone to inquire, but since you are unwilling to go, I am afraid that the Feather Soldiers will find out your identities and come to bother you."

The chef, captivated by the aroma of the wine, gave a haughty snort, "You little brat, you have a hundred mouths, I could never win an argument with you before."

Who in the entire Feather Fiend Army could have guessed that these three crippled old men in the barracks were not only the master of the general Fei Yingying, but also the infamous Three Heads Chefs from thirty years ago?

Back then, the three of them, along with the still-healthy Old Master Gu, represented the peak of the Feather Fiend Army.

To put it bluntly, given the strength of the Feather Fiend Army at that time, even the Zongxuan Alliance might not have taken them seriously. The army had as many as 30,000 brave and skilled soldiers, and several hundred Xuan Kings.

Unfortunately, all three were later injured, their strength greatly diminished, and in the final battle against the beast tide, the Feather Fiend Army suffered heavy casualties. Although they managed to save the entire Heavenly Phoenix, they were severely weakened.

Thirty years have passed, and only a few thousand people remain today.

With Old Master Gu being targeted again because of the Zongxuan Alliance incident, the entire Gu family has suffered a major blow. The leader of the Yu Sha Army has lost his energy, so it's no wonder they're on the verge of collapse.

Upon seeing these three people, Fei Yingying couldn't help but recall the grudges and grievances of the past years, and her eyes revealed genuine resentment.

If it weren't for the Zongxuan Alliance, Old Master Gu wouldn't have fallen into such a state of despair.

How did the Feathered Fiend Army end up like this?

“Yingying, tell me, why did you send that Bai Huang here?”

The chef's legs were open, and although he was small, he had a very imposing presence when he looked at Fei Yingying.

“Bai Huang is the child adopted by Old Master Gu.” Fei Yingying pursed her lips. “She is also Gu Nianci’s adopted daughter. It seems that she has regarded Bai Huang as her deceased daughter and cares for her very much.”

Chef Ertui nodded, "Go on."

“She’s my best friend, and this is her request for me to teach this child well, but I really can’t do it.” Fei Yingying said helplessly. She had never been a mother herself, and had only taught those rascals.

Where have I ever encountered someone as tough as Bai Huang?

"I really have no choice. I suddenly remembered that when it comes to raising children, no one can compare to the three masters." Fei Yingying said with a hint of flattery, and then started pouring wine again. "I'm afraid this matter will have to be troubled by the three masters."

The chef snorted coldly, "We know without you telling us!"

"Oh?" Fei Yingying's eyes widened in surprise.

The cook downed half a bowl of wine in one gulp, but a hint of a sigh appeared in his eyes.

"Old Gu came looking for us," Chef Er Tui chimed in.

However, there was one more thing he didn't say.

That is, what Old Master Gu and Gu Nianci wanted were different.

Grandpa Gu is right.

"That child is intelligent and decisive. Please make sure to raise her well. I am getting old, and the Feather Fiend Army needs younger and braver new blood to lead those children to a higher level of glory."

"Old buddies, please let that child become the soul of the Feather Fiend Army!"
