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

The massive tiger's carcass extended beyond ten feet. The onlookers gazed at it with traces of fear still lingering, yet as the terror ebbed away, expressions of joyful wonder began to emerge, drawing them into the bliss of their enormous prize!

Wei Xiaowei cried out in thrill, struggling to contain her exhilaration.

"Wow..."

"This tiger creature isn't simply large by normal standards. See these claws—even one wouldn't fit in a lone basket! The amount of flesh surpasses what you'd get from a full herd of chickens. It has to be worth a small fortune."

The maiden's outburst prompted laughter from the nearby team, their gazes brimming with mutual joy.

"Little Wei speaks true; this tiger is priceless!"

"We've struck gold this outing!"

"All credit goes to Captain Xu. Without him, we'd have risked everything and still come away empty-handed!"

"Mr. Yi, this has to be a real revelation for you, hasn't it?"

"Yes."

"It's my initial encounter with a tiger of such... immense size."

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

"Mr. Yi, we seldom run into demon beasts like this."

"Such tigers are incredibly scarce. Their meat, blood, and pelt all count as valuables, but the bones prove even more valuable. They can trade for plenty of silver—sufficient to let us relax for months on end."

"We've gone on numerous hunts, but nearly lost our nerve this time. On your debut venture, sir, you stayed remarkably steady. You're leagues ahead of how I handled things before. What a feat."

"Down the line, once you pick up Body Cultivation, you'll outshine us in the hunt. Perhaps you'll venture further into the Green Mang Mountains alongside the Captain for even richer rewards!"

Yi Feng gave a subtle grin and turned his commendation to Xu Fengyue.

"Ha, as a mere bookman, how could I readily grasp Body Cultivation?"

"When it comes to feats, Big Brother Xu stands out as the remarkable one. He felled that savage tiger in mere moments. Utterly awe-inspiring in its might!"

This praise swiftly captured everyone's attention.

Under the admiring stares of the assembly, Xu Fengyue unexpectedly felt bashful. He rubbed the nape of his neck and chuckled, his weathered cheeks coloring deeply.

"Well..."

"Hahaha..."

"Truth be told, I just scraped by in victory. Mr. Yi flatters me excessively. Honestly, moments ago, my energy was waning, and I nearly got hurt by this tiger. I came close to embarrassing myself!"

The robust fellow remained candid, showing keen self-knowledge. Admitting the real circumstances openly set him far above the boastful sorts in society.

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

Suddenly, chuckles echoed everywhere, filling the woods with harvest's delight.

Yi Feng caught the infectious mood and shared in the team's triumph.

In his heartfelt state, he proposed a brief pause under the guise of handling the tiger's remains, gaining the group's consent while receiving a thankful glance from the fatigued Xu Fengyue. Their exchange deepened their bond.

Despite a single meeting, they bonded like longtime companions.

Witnessing Yi Feng's easy acceptance—fitting seamlessly into the demon-hunting crew as a delicate scholar and even earning the leader's favor—Wei Xiaowei figured his settling into Qinghe Town would pose no challenge. Starting a household and livelihood would come effortlessly...

With that thought, Wei Xiaowei's grin widened sweetly, and she threw herself vigorously into preparing the tiger's body.

Darkness deepened further.

The thick woodland had endured a fierce clash. Most members busied themselves with the demon tiger's remains, as the somewhat exhausted Xu Fengyue meditated to recover. The slender scholar Yi Feng rested nearby. A campfire blazed beneath the lofty trees, its glow lighting the surroundings and offering comfort against the enveloping night.

With no one close by, Xu Fengyue ended his meditation and exhaled gently.

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

"Mr. Yi, did today's journey meet your expectations? We crude types only grasp combat and slaughter. Driven by survival needs, we eke out existence from demon beasts' maws. It's a crude affair, surely amusing to a refined soul like yours."

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

"Big Brother Xu, you overstate it."

"Though a scholar by trade, I don't prattle on about elegance daily. You sustain your lives through bold spirit and bravery, safeguarding the town and providing for kin by facing demon beasts. Such honorable, unyielding souls earn my respect—how could I mock you?"

These words left Xu Fengyue more astounded, prompting a nod of profound appreciation.

"Never thought you'd hold such wisdom, sir. You're a fervent, true-hearted man yourself. I lament not crossing paths earlier."

The pair exchanged knowing smiles, akin to lifelong pals.

Xu Fengyue freely produced the flask from his belt and offered it warmly to Yi Feng. They sipped and conversed, embodying the candid, heartfelt camaraderie of brothers. Regardless of the other's lack of cultivation, it mattered not; this individual merited his utmost esteem.

Were Yi Feng seen as a hidden master by common folk, he'd still humble himself for such dialogue.

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

As they shared a laugh, Wei Xiaowei approached beaming.

"Captain, what chat with Mr. Yi has you both so gleeful?"

At her sound, Yi Feng glanced upward.

He noted Wei Xiaowei spotless, free of any blood traces, sparking his curiosity.

"Miss Wei, you've wrapped up the tiger's processing already? So swiftly?"

Ere Wei Xiaowei replied, Xu Fengyue jumped in chuckling, brimming with acclaim.

"Hahaha..."

"Mr. Yi, you wouldn't realize this, but young Wei may be youthful yet counts as a seasoned tracker. Tasks like breaking down a demon beast always fall to her precise, swift hands. Even solo, she'd finish the tiger in less than an incense stick's burn!"

"The lass excels; she acts decisively and harbors a kind spirit."

His remarks made the young woman duck her head, cheeks tinting faintly.

Yi Feng felt even greater surprise.

Gazing at her moments longer, he struggled to picture this fragile-appearing maiden so brutally adept at eviscerating a demon beast—a genuine blade expert...

As if detecting his thoughts, Wei Xiaowei lifted her gaze shyly, catching Yi Feng's dazed stare. Awareness dawned, and she rushed to explain.

"Ah..."

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

"Truth is, I barely understand handling tiger remains. How could someone as slight as me manage such tasks?"

Her voice trailed softer with each word, lacking conviction. Regret and worry etched her features, fearing her poised facade crumbling.

Luckily, fellow hunters arrived promptly, their queries easing the tension.

"Captain, the tiger's dealt with. We've split the load of meat and skin. Shall we press on?"

"Captain Xu, such a bountiful yield is uncommon. We've latched onto your luck at last; lead us to more adventures!"

"Exactly, Captain, guide us on a proper trek and seize the momentum for further triumphs!"

The band of sturdy men acted invigorated, like they'd received a surge of vigor; zeal soared post the colossal tiger kill, determination etched across every face.

Xu Fengyue felt awkward, unsure how to reply immediately.

Should he yield to their eagerness for more action, another Great Martial Master-tier demon beast might appear, beyond his current capacity. Yet declining would deflate enthusiasm and dampen the mood.

Truly a self-inflicted bind. Now what?
