Chapter 1809: This thing is so ugly

For some reason, everyone's fear of the Demon race had faded significantly by now.

They were not in the slightest bit afraid to fight the Demon race again, and their moods even appeared quite relaxed.

"Don't kill them; find a chance to capture them alive."

"Right, right, right."

The only troublesome thing was the Demon race's bizarre and varied abilities.

Some had astonishing defenses, some were covered in toxins, and others were extremely fast.

In truth, not many Demons had actually died during that recent barrage of talismans and array discs.

Don't let their reckless appearance fool you; their defenses were truly formidable.

Low-grade talismans and array discs thrown right in their faces did absolutely nothing.

But now, with the array formations, the human side had plenty of ways to capture the Demons alive.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out, and Ye Ye Changqing, after observing the situation and seeing that the humans held the advantage, stepped down from the city wall.

As for the Demon ingredients brought back earlier, they were immediately taken over by the people from the Spirit Chef Alliance.

When Ye Ye Changqing arrived at the kitchen, a group of spirit chefs was already busy processing them.

Since it was the people from the three Sacred Lands eating, and if the kitchen remained at the Dao One Sacred Land's encampment, the Jade Pool Sacred Land and the Cloud Luo Sacred Land would have almost nothing to eat.

Therefore, after a quick discussion, they found a large courtyard within the city and converted it into a kitchen.

Ye Ye Changqing had already taught everyone the common methods for processing Demon ingredients.

So, for the spirit chefs, simple processing was completely within their capabilities.

Upon entering the courtyard, he saw these spirit chefs busy as bees—some killing pigs, some slaughtering sheep, others scraping fish scales—all enjoying themselves immensely.

"Hold it down!"

"Alright, alright, alright."

"Damn it, don't let it move!"

Five spirit chefs were huddled together; four of them were pinning down a large white pig with all their might, while one held a long, wide-bladed dagger, constantly searching for a spot.

The Haotu World didn't have specialized pig-slaughtering knives, but the wide-bladed daggers used by the spirit chefs worked just as well; as long as they could stab it in, it was fine.

Yet, even with four spirit chefs pinning the large white pig down, they still felt like they couldn't hold it.

"Tie its legs first, use the Demon-Binding Rope."

Ye Ye Changqing said casually as he passed by. Hearing this, the four spirit chefs finally realized what to do.

"Oh, right, right, right."

They immediately took out the Demon-Binding Rope and tied its four limbs, which finally made it much easier to hold down.

As the wide-bladed dagger went in white and came out red, the large white pig soon lost its breath.

"Quick, bring a basin to catch the blood."

Walking around the courtyard, Ye Ye Changqing felt a sense of nostalgia for his past life—what was with this feeling of a village banquet?

Just as he was walking, he suddenly heard someone say:

"What is this thing? It's so ugly."

Following the sound, he saw a spirit chef holding a strange-looking Demon.

This spirit chef had never seen such a Demon before and reached out to touch its dorsal fin.

"Don't touch it!"

Ye Ye Changqing shouted immediately upon seeing this, but he was a step too late. The spirit chef let out a miserable scream, feeling a sudden, intense pain shooting through his arm.

The scream quickly attracted everyone's attention. Seeing the man's face turn black rapidly, someone said in a deep voice:

"This Demon is poisonous."

"Quick, take him to the Alchemist Alliance!"

Not daring to delay, two of them immediately took the spirit chef and rushed toward the Alchemist Alliance; no one knew if this poison would be fatal.

The others curiously examined the ugly fish that had been tossed onto the ground.

"What kind of Demon is this? I've never seen it before."

"Me neither, but can something that looks like this even be eaten?"

Many spirit chefs wore expressions of disgust.

Even chefs care about appearances, alright? This damn world that judges by looks.

Such an ugly ingredient—it looked unappetizing at first glance.

The spirit chefs thought with disgust, but Ye Ye Changqing's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab the ugly fish.

Seeing this, everyone shouted in a hurry:

"Ancestor of Food, be careful!"

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Ye Ye Changqing grabbed the ugly fish firmly and examined it with curiosity. Seeing that he was completely fine, everyone was stunned, but after coming to their senses, they showered him with praise.

"As expected of the Ancestor of Food."

"The Ancestor of Food is mighty!"

"The Ancestor of Food is invincible!"

Hearing the cheers and praises of the crowd, Ye Ye Changqing's mouth twitched, but after so long, he had gotten used to it.

His attention remained focused on the ugly fish in his hand.

This fish was truly ugly—its mouth wasn't a mouth, its nose wasn't a nose; wasn't this just the stonefish from his past life?
