I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1334: Did that open your eyes

The enormous tiger carcass stretched more than ten feet long. The group gazed at it with residual fear, yet as the terror faded, expressions of joyful surprise emerged, drawing them into the bliss of their tremendous catch!

Excitement bubbled over in Wei Xiaowei, her emotions hard to contain.

"Wow..."

"This tiger beast is far from average in size. Check out those paws—one would fill an entire basket! The meat here surpasses what you'd get from an entire flock of chickens. It has to be worth a small fortune."

At the young woman's outburst, the nearby team members erupted in chuckles, their gazes brimming with collective glee.

"Niece Wei has hit the nail on the head; this tiger beast is utterly priceless!"

"We've struck gold this round!"

"It's all down to Captain Xu. Without him, we'd have poured our lives into this and still not claimed such a bounty!"

"Mr. Yi, this has got to be a real wake-up call for you, hasn't it?"

"Yes, it has."

"It's my initial encounter with a tiger beast this... enormous."

Noticing Yi Feng's astonishment at last, Wei Xiaowei eagerly provided details while softly reassuring and motivating him.

"Mr. Yi, even we seldom come across demon beasts like this."

"This tiger beast is incredibly uncommon. Its meat, blood, and pelt are all valuables, but the tiger bones hold even greater worth. They can fetch a handsome sum of silver—enough to let us lounge for months."

"We've gone on numerous hunts, but we nearly lost our wits this time. For your debut out here, sir, you stayed remarkably steady. You're leagues ahead of how I handled it back then. Quite remarkable."

"Later on, once you pick up Body Cultivation, you'll outshine us in the hunt. Perhaps you'll tag along with the Captain into the heart of the Green Mang Mountains for bigger rewards!"

Yi Feng offered a gentle smile and turned his commendation to Xu Fengyue.

"Ha, I'm just a bookish type; how could I readily grasp Body Cultivation?"

"If we're discussing who's truly remarkable, it's Big Brother Xu. He subdued that savage tiger with mere moments of effort. It was downright awe-inspiringly mighty!"

This praise swiftly captured everyone's attention.

As the entire group watched with admiration, Xu Fengyue unexpectedly felt bashful. He rubbed the nape of his neck and chuckled until his weathered face flushed crimson.

"Well..."

"Hahaha..."

"Truth be told, I just scraped by in the fight. Mr. Yi flatters me too much. Honestly, earlier I sensed my power waning and nearly got hurt by this tiger beast. I came close to embarrassing myself!"

The robust fellow spoke plainly and held plenty of self-knowledge. Admitting the real circumstances like this set him far above the boastful sorts out there.

The assembly paused briefly, viewing it as humble talk. They chortled in unison, heightening the festive air.

Suddenly, chuckles echoed everywhere, filling the woods with the thrill of their success.

Yi Feng caught the vibe too and rejoiced in their triumph.

In the midst of these feelings, he proposed a brief pause under the guise of handling the tiger remains. This gained the team's nod and drew an appreciative glance from the quite exhausted Xu Fengyue. Their exchange deepened their bond.

Despite just one meeting, they bonded like longtime companions.

Watching Yi Feng fit in so seamlessly—mingling with the demon hunting team as a delicate scholar and even earning the Captain's favor—Wei Xiaowei figured his settling into Qinghe Town would be smooth sailing. Starting a household and livelihood? No sweat at all...

With that in mind, Wei Xiaowei's grin widened sweeter, and she threw herself energetically into prepping the tiger carcass.

Night deepened further.

The thick woods had hosted an epic clash. Most of the crew busied themselves with the demon tiger's body, while the somewhat fatigued Xu Fengyue meditated to recover. The slender scholar Yi Feng rested nearby. A campfire crackled beneath the lofty trees, its glow lighting up the surroundings and offering comfort against the shadowy evening.

With nobody close by, Xu Fengyue ended his meditation and exhaled lightly.

He clasped his hands quietly and addressed Yi Feng with a grin.

"Mr. Yi, pleased with today's outing? Us coarse types only grasp brawling and slaying. Driven by survival, we eke out existence from demon beasts' maws. It's a crude way, probably amusing to a refined soul like you."

Yi Feng replied with a warm smile, his expression sincere and straightforward.

"Big Brother Xu, you're too harsh on yourself."

"Sure, I'm a scholar, but I don't prattle on about 'refinement' nonstop. You folks sustain yourselves through sheer grit and bravery, shielding the town and providing for kin by facing down demon beasts. You're honorable, unyielding souls. I hold you in high esteem, so why would I mock?"

At these words, Xu Fengyue felt greater astonishment and nodded, profoundly touched.

"I never thought you'd possess such understanding, sir. You're a fervent, true-blooded individual too. I wish we'd crossed paths earlier."

The pair exchanged smiles, akin to veterans.

Xu Fengyue freely pulled the wine flask from his belt and offered it warmly to Yi Feng. They sipped and conversed, embodying the bold, genuine camaraderie of brothers. Even sans cultivation, the man didn't mind; he valued him immensely.

Were Yi Feng seen as a master elder by common folk, he'd still stoop to chat without hesitation.

Before they knew it, time equivalent to half a tea brew slipped by, their talk flowing merrily.

Right as they shared a laugh, Wei Xiaowei approached beaming.

"Captain, what's got you two so cheerful with Mr. Yi?"

At her sound, Yi Feng glanced up.

He noted Wei Xiaowei spotless, not a drop of blood on her, sparking his intrigue.

"Miss Wei, you've wrapped up the tiger carcass already? So quickly?"

Ere Wei Xiaowei answered, Xu Fengyue jumped in with a hearty laugh, lavishing acclaim.

"Hahaha..."

"Mr. Yi, here's news to you. Though Niece Wei is youthful, she's a seasoned hunter. Tasks like breaking down a demon beast's remains? She handles them neatly and swiftly. Solo, she'd finish that tiger in less than the burn of one incense stick!"

"This lass is sharp as a tack; she performs with precision and a kind spirit."

Such remarks made the young woman duck her head, cheeks tinged pink.

Yi Feng felt even greater shock.

Gazing at her a bit longer, he struggled to picture this fragile-seeming maiden being so brutally adept at dissecting a demon beast—a genuine pro with the knife...

As if picking up on it, Wei Xiaowei lifted her gaze shyly, spotting Yi Feng's dazed stare. She grasped the issue and rushed to clarify.

"Ah..."

"I'm not, I didn't."

"I honestly don't know much about handling tiger corpses. How could someone like me handle that sort of work?"

Her voice trailed off weaker with each word. She seemed to doubt her own claim now. Regret and worry etched her features, a panic over her facade crumbling.

Luckily, fellow members showed up promptly, their queries smoothing over the tension.

"Captain, the tiger's been prepped. We've split the load of meat and skin. Do we push on with the hunt?"

"Captain Xu, it's uncommon for us to score this big. We finally latched onto your luck; you've gotta lead us to more sights!"

"Exactly, Captain, let's roam properly and capitalize on the momentum for extra wins!"

The bunch of tough guys acted like they'd gotten a surge of vigor; excitement surged through them. Post the colossal tiger takedown, bold confidence shone on each face.

Xu Fengyue felt awkward, unsure how to reply right away.

Should he greenlight their push for more action, he worried about facing additional Great Martial Master-tier demon beasts he couldn't tackle. Yet declining would crush the team's drive and enthusiasm.

Truly a self-inflicted pickle. Now what?
