Chapter 1201

"You, come and compete with the Nie family."

After saying this, he turned his head and spoke to Nie Yuan.

"Is this acceptable now?"

Hearing these words, Nie Yuan was so angry that his face turned beet red. This old fellow was being too overbearing; he was truly being too overbearing.

You, damn it, are letting a kid at the Meridian Opening Realm come to compete? Just how much do you look down on our Nie family?

At his age and with his cultivation base, can he even handle a ladle properly? Competing is a load of crap.

"Tang Yao, you are going too far."

"What exactly do you want? I've already let someone compete with you."

"Is that even a competition, damn it?"

"I'll raise the stakes. I'll bet the Demon Emperor's thigh that my Nie family treasures. How about that? Can we compete now?"

Huh???

Nie Yuan was truly muddled with anger; he had even brought out the treasure that the Nie family kept hidden.

One must know that although the two families had often competed in the past, the stakes they put up were always ordinary heavenly treasures or some decent ingredients.

As for that Demon Emperor's thigh treasured by the Nie family, Tang Yao knew of it; it was practically the apple of the Nie family's eye.

It is said that in order to obtain this Demon Emperor's thigh back then, the Nie family paid a massive price, nearly emptying their entire family fortune.

Since then, that Demon Emperor's thigh had been worshipped by the Nie family as if it were a divine object; they practically wanted to burn incense for it every day.

However, it was also because of this Demon Emperor's thigh that the Nie family became famous.

Many powerhouses had visited the Nie family in the past just to taste that Demon Emperor's thigh, and among them were Great Saint Realm experts.

But the Nie family had never agreed.

Yet now, Nie Yuan was actually willing to put up this Demon Emperor's thigh as a stake.

Even Tang Yao couldn't quite believe it. Had this old fellow gone mad?

As for Ye Changqing and the others not far away, upon hearing this, Xu Jie's eyes lit up instantly.

"Holy crap, Demon Emperor-grade ingredients."

His eyeballs rolled around, and he immediately turned to look at Ye Changqing; his eyes were glowing.

"Junior Brother, shall we take him for a ride?"

In Xu Jie's view, with Ye Changqing's culinary skills, a spirit chef competition was simply a dimensional strike. Never mind Nie Yuan; even if you brought those three ninth-grade spirit chefs, they couldn't possibly be Junior Brother Changqing's opponents.

This so-called Demon Emperor's thigh was practically a free gift.

He, Xu Laosan, had eaten Demon King-grade meat, and he had eaten Demon Emperor-grade meat, but he really hadn't eaten Demon Emperor-grade meat yet.

Never mind him; even the Master, the Sect Master, and the Ancestors probably hadn't eaten it. Shouldn't they get it and have a taste?

Facing Xu Jie's gaze, Ye Changqing felt a bit moved, but...

"They are competing with the Tang family. Would it be inappropriate for us to step in?"

"What's the problem with that? Junior Brother, you just get ready to collect the thigh; leave the rest to me."

As he spoke, Xu Jie strode forward, his pigeon-toed gait looking incredibly imposing.

"Old geezer, how about it? My Nie family is willing to bring out that Demon Emperor's thigh. Can we compete now?"

"Wait a moment."

Huh???

Just as he was speaking, a domineering voice suddenly came from somewhere. Nie Yuan turned his head to look and saw Xu Jie walking over with a swaggering, arrogant gait.

Seeing that it was just a young man, Nie Yuan frowned.

"Who are you? Is there a place for you to interrupt here?"

"We accept this competition."

"Accepted? Can you make that decision?"

"That goes without saying. If you don't believe me, ask the old family head, Tang."

As he spoke, Xu Jie gave Tang Yao a wink. Seeing this, although Tang Yao was a bit confused, his thoughts were simple: whatever the Profound Heaven Sect said was the truth.

"Young Master Xu can naturally represent my Tang family."

Huh???

Hearing Tang Yao's words, Nie Yuan finally examined Xu Jie with curiosity.

For this kid to be able to make Tang Yao say such things, his identity must not be simple; furthermore, having a Heavenly Human Realm cultivation base at such an age, he would be considered a prodigy even in the Holy Lands.

However, Nie Yuan didn't care about that. He wasn't looking for a life-or-death struggle with Xu Jie; it was just a spirit chef competition.

"Fine, then what is your Tang family putting up?"

The Nie family had already brought out the Demon Emperor's thigh; if the Tang family couldn't bring out a corresponding stake, it would clearly be unfair.

Hearing this, Tang Yao hesitated for a moment, but at this time, Xu Jie stepped forward and transmitted his voice using spiritual power.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Changqing is personally taking action in this battle. When the time comes, your Tang family will have a share of that Demon Emperor's thigh."

Hearing that Ye Changqing was personally taking action, the concerns in Tang Yao's heart vanished instantly. This was a sure win, wasn't it?

Tang Yao knew Ye Changqing's skills; like Xu Jie, he didn't think there was any possibility of Ye Changqing losing.

Nie Yuan's culinary skills simply couldn't compare to his.

Immediately, Tang Yao said confidently.

"My Tang family is willing to put up all our restaurants, spirit fields, and ingredients. Is that acceptable?"

Once these words were spoken, Nie Yuan was stunned. Tang Yao was betting the entire Tang family.

Was this old thing really that confident? For a moment, it actually made Nie Yuan feel a bit unconfident.

But thinking that he had come prepared this time, Nie Yuan calmed down again.

Since he dared to take the initiative to come to the Tang family and provoke them, he was naturally prepared.

Some time ago, he had finally successfully broken through to become a ninth-grade spirit chef, while the strongest person in the Tang family was only Tang Yao, who only had eighth-grade level skills.

Therefore, for this battle, Nie Yuan had absolute confidence.

Moreover, he had just broken through as a ninth-grade spirit chef, and apart from the Nie family members, outsiders didn't know yet.

He hadn't even reported it to the Spirit Chef Alliance.

In the eyes of outsiders, he, Nie Yuan, was still an eighth-grade spirit chef, so he absolutely had no possibility of losing this battle.

Thinking of this, Nie Yuan regained his confidence and said with a calm expression.

"Fine, then it is settled. Elder Li, please act as a witness."

"This... very well."

Elder Li, who was on the side, was also a bit confused. Everything was fine, so why did both sides suddenly make such a big deal out of it?

One side directly brought out a Demon Emperor's thigh, and the other was even more ruthless, betting their entire family fortune and lives.

There was no need to doubt it; if the Tang family lost this time, the entire family would likely never recover.

Playing for such high stakes, Elder Li felt quite a bit of pressure. This was, damn it, a life-or-death gamble. ===== CHAPTER 1202 =====
