Chapter 1186: You are also a Spirit Chef?

The sudden, bone-chilling sensation made the hair on Mo Yun's body stand on end.

Yet, after thinking it over, he couldn't imagine what could possibly happen.

Fortunately, the feeling came and went quickly, so Mo Yun stopped dwelling on it.

On the other side, in the starship's kitchen, Ye Changqing, Zhu Wu, and Shan Hu were busy preparing the day's meal.

Just then, Tang Qingqing walked in cautiously, knocked on the door, and said,

"Young Master Ye, may I come in?"

"Sure, but this is just the kitchen; there's nothing much to see."

Ye Changqing said nonchalantly. There were no secrets in the place where he cooked, so she could enter if she wanted.

Receiving permission, Tang Qingqing revealed a smile, stepped into the kitchen, looked at the three people busy at work, and said,

"Young Master Ye, I can help with these small tasks."

"Hmm??? You know how to cook?"

Hearing this, Ye Changqing looked at her in confusion. It was rare for a young prodigy like Tang Qingqing to know how to cook.

After all, every one of these young prodigies was focused on how to improve their own strength; why would they waste time on such things?

But when it came to cooking, a look of confidence appeared directly in Tang Qingqing's eyes.

It felt as if she might not be good at other things, but when it came to cooking, it was truly her specialty.

"Young Master Ye, don't underestimate me. Our Tang family is famous for our Spirit Chefs; we are a family of Spirit Chefs for generations."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Ye Changqing actually became interested. He had heard of Spirit Chefs in Dongzhou but had never seen one. He was still quite curious about the Spirit Chefs of the Haotu World.

"Then why don't you give it a try."

Handing the kitchen knife to Tang Qingqing, Ye Changqing also wanted to see just how much skill this young lady from a Spirit Chef family really had.

Taking the kitchen knife, Tang Qingqing didn't waste words and started working immediately.

She selected some ingredients, and every single one was put to good use in her hands.

Judging by this alone, Tang Qingqing hadn't exaggerated; she really knew how to cook, and her skills were quite good.

From washing the vegetables, cutting them, preparing the seasonings, to the final cooking.

Tang Qingqing did it all herself. She was not only fast but also extremely proficient, making the process a pleasure to watch.

Finally, when the plate of Kung Pao Spirit Chicken she made was finished, she said with a smile,

"Young Master Ye, would you like to taste it?"

"Sure."

He didn't refuse and stepped forward to taste a piece; Shan Hu and Zhu Wu did the same.

It tasted good, but naturally, it couldn't compare to Ye Changqing's.

Shan Hu, whose emotional intelligence was nearly zero, gave the answer directly.

"It's not as delicious as what my Big Brother makes."

There was no malice in these words; it was simply Shan Hu's honest opinion.

However, hearing this, a strange look flashed in Tang Qingqing's eyes as she looked curiously at Ye Changqing and asked,

"Is Young Master Ye also a Spirit Chef?"

"To be precise, not really. After all, there are no Spirit Chefs in Dongzhou, unlike here in the Central Continent."

Dongzhou's impression of Spirit Chefs was very vague, unlike the Central Continent, which had strict classifications.

For instance, Tang Qingqing herself was a sixth-grade Spirit Chef, and her grandfather, the only Saint in the Tang family, was one of the few eighth-grade Spirit Chefs in the Central Continent.

In the Central Continent's Spirit Chef circle, he was second only to those three ninth-grade Spirit Chefs.

Perhaps to win over the Daoyi Sect, Tang Qingqing took the initiative to propose that she be responsible for today's meals.

During these few days on the ship, she had noticed that although the members of the Daoyi Sect all had high cultivation bases, they seemed extremely obsessed with gourmet food and had to eat every day.

And this was exactly what Tang Qingqing hoped for, as she was very confident in her own skills.

Unfortunately, hearing her words, Ye Changqing shook his head.

"I'll do it instead."

"Young Master Ye, there's no need to be so polite. Just... just consider it as repaying the favor of saving my life."

"That's not what I meant. I'm afraid they won't like what you make."

Ye Changqing was telling the truth; although Tang Qingqing's skills were good, they were only on the same level as Zhu Wu's.

And Facing Qi Xiong, Until Hong Zun, and the others found Zhu Wu's cooking bland; these guys had long since had their palates spoiled.

Seeing Ye Changqing say this, Tang Qingqing couldn't insist further, only offering to help him as an assistant.

This time, Ye Changqing did not refuse.

With Tang Qingqing's culinary skills, helping as an assistant was no problem at all.

And so, with Tang Qingqing's help, today's meal was prepared very quickly.

As the gourmet food Ye Changqing made was finished, Tang Qingqing was stunned on the spot.

In fact, from the very beginning, Tang Qingqing had been watching in a daze.

It was a simple dish of stir-fried meat with spirit peppers, yet in Ye Changqing's hands, it seemed to turn the ordinary into the miraculous.

The aroma was so enticing that even Tang Qingqing couldn't help herself.

To be honest, she had never smelled such an aroma before. In her memory, even her grandfather probably didn't have such skills.

The entire kitchen was filled with a rich meaty fragrance, and the stir-fried meat with spirit peppers was perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

The green spirit peppers dotted the fatty and lean Fire Spirit pork, making one's appetite soar just by looking at it.

At this moment, Tang Qingqing finally understood what Ye Changqing had meant earlier.

The food she made really had no comparison to Ye Changqing's; she had been showing off her skills before an expert.

"Young Master Ye, you..."

"I just liked to eat since I was a child, and then I researched it randomly on my own."

Ye Changqing naturally couldn't say it was the system, so he could only mumble a perfunctory reply.

However, hearing this, Tang Qingqing felt a complex mix of emotions.

Listen to that, just listen—he researched it randomly on his own.

She was, at the very least, from a Spirit Chef family and had been learning culinary arts under her father and grandfather since she was a child.

Moreover, she was very talented herself, but now, compared to Ye Changqing, Tang Qingqing felt her talent was not even worth dog shit.

He just researched it casually and reached a level she couldn't even hope to catch up to.

With this level of skill, Tang Qingqing was certain that even her grandfather couldn't keep up.

Just then, Facing Qi Xiong, Until Hong Zun, and the others, smelling the aroma, arrived at the kitchen one after another. As soon as they entered the door, they took a deep breath and said excitedly,

"I can smell it; today it's stir-fried meat with spirit peppers. It's the familiar taste, still perfect."

"Haha, today I'm going to eat three big bowls."

"Eh, why is this little girl here?"

"The kitchen is a restricted area; why did an outsider trespass?"

Originally looking very satisfied, Facing Qi Xiong and the others' expressions changed instantly upon seeing Tang Qingqing in the kitchen, and their tone turned cold.

In Ye Changqing's view, the kitchen wasn't a secret place; people could enter if they wanted.

But in the eyes of Facing Qi Xiong, Until Hong Zun, and the others, this Daoyi Sect kitchen was the most secret place in the entire sect, with a status comparable to the sect's treasury.

Therefore, seeing an outsider appear in the kitchen, everyone naturally became guarded. This little girl looked harmless, yet she dared to trespass into the Daoyi Sect's restricted kitchen?

It seemed she couldn't be left alive today. ===== CHAPTER 1187 =====
