Chapter 478: A competition? That sounds great

The group of ghost cooks were stunned on the spot, and then flew into a rage.

"What kind of joke is this? This is a ghost shop, what are humans doing here? A bunch of ingredients ordering dishes?"

"Anyway, I won't do it. Whoever can do it, do it."

"I can't do it either."

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated."

Looking at the righteous ghost cooks, the evil spirit from before also had a helpless expression.

It naturally wasn't willing either, but what could it do?

"They were brought by King Chen, I..."

"Is it that group of humans who have been acting recklessly in Ghost Valley recently?"

The matter of the Dao One Sect had spread throughout Ghost Valley. Many evil spirits were gnashing their teeth in hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

For one, they couldn't beat them, and for another, even the Ghost Emperor and Ghost Kings were protecting these humans. What could you do?

Not being able to attack these humans was already the limit. Now they had to cook for these humans? What was most hateful was that they were actually cooking human food.

Isn't this forcing Zhang Fei to embroider? We are a ghost shop, ghost cooks, how would we know how to do this?

So the group of ghost cooks refused firmly without the slightest hesitation.

"Not doing it, anyway I’m not doing it."

"Don't know how to do it, just don't know how."

The group of ghost cooks all expressed they wouldn't do it.

And in the front hall, Qi Xiong and the others, who had been waiting for a long time without any movement, were also a bit impatient. They called the ghost waiter and said irritably.

"What’s going on? We gave you the ingredients, why can't you get it done after so long?"

"I... my ghost cook doesn't know how to make it."

"Doesn't know how? If you don't know how, why be a cook?"

"We are a ghost shop after all."

The ghost waiter in the front hall said angrily. Just as he was speaking, a ghost cook from the kitchen with a hot temper and a burly build walked out and said viciously.

"Humans should get out of Ghost Valley, we don't welcome you here."

"Hmph, you can't even make a few home-cooked dishes."

"Even if I knew how, I wouldn't make it for you humans."

This ghost cook also had a hot temper and didn't fear Hong Zun and the others at all. Facing his attitude, Qin Shanhai immediately wanted to draw his sword, but Xu Jie spoke first.

"So you’re saying you’re very good at cooking?"

"Hmph, in Ghost Valley, if I say I’m second, no one dares to claim first."

It could be seen that this ghost cook was quite confident in his craft. Seeing his proud look, Xu Jie smiled with disdain.

"Anyone can brag. If you ask me, the best cook in the world is none other than my Junior Brother Changqing."

"You say it is, so it is?"

"What, you don't believe it?"

"Hah, anyone can brag. If you have the ability, let’s compete. As long as your so-called Junior Brother Changqing can beat me, I’ll cook for you today. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it."

"Are you sure?"

Hearing this, a successful smile appeared on Xu Jie’s face.

And Ye Changqing on the side gave a helpless bitter smile. You want to set me up again, huh?

When he said he wanted to taste the ghost cook’s craft just now, Xu Jie was extremely reluctant. Now that he had caught the opportunity, what kind of bullshit competition—wasn't it just wanting him to do it himself?

Given their relationship, Ye Changqing naturally wouldn't be angry over such a small matter, and Xu Jie didn't have any bad intentions.

Moreover, hearing Xu Jie’s words, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and everyone’s eyes lit up, and then they all chimed in.

"Compete then, who’s afraid of whom?"

"You, a mere ghost cook, dare to compete with Changqing kid."

Hearing everyone’s words, this ghost cook was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, and he roared at everyone.

"Who the hell is Ye Changqing?"

"Me."

Hearing this, Ye Changqing stood up helplessly. Looking at such a young Ye Changqing, the ghost cook was stunned, then sneered.

"Yellow-mouthed child, you haven't even grown all your hair yet. Do you know how to cook?"

"We’ll know after we compete."

The atmosphere had been built up to this point, so Ye Changqing didn't care. Anyway, it was just a matter of cooking a meal, and he could taste the ghost cook’s craft.

Having lived two lifetimes, to be honest, he hadn't eaten food made by an evil spirit yet.

Seeing Ye Changqing agree, Hong Zun and the others were so excited. Look, didn't things take a turn for the better?

Especially the look in their eyes when looking at Xu Jie—it was full of approval.

"This kid is not bad."

Qin Shanhai nodded.

"Junior Brother taught him well."

Shi Song approved.

"This child is capable of great things."

Qi Xiong laughed.

"My Dao One Sect has successors."

Yu Bo agreed.

"That’s why I said, this kid Xu San is like me."

Hong Zun was full of pride. Good kid, his brain turns fast, he’s brought honor to his master.

Everyone watched excitedly as Ye Changqing and the ghost cook walked into the kitchen. Regarding the competition, they weren't worried at all.

Or rather, they didn't care at all, because the outcome was already determined.

And Yin Chen on the side saw this, its expression extremely ugly.

"Qi Xiong, don't go too far."

Hearing this, Qi Xiong glanced at it irritably.

"Can't even compete in cooking? Do you want to ask your Ghost Emperor?"

"You..."

Competing in cooking was naturally no problem, but Yin Chen just couldn't stand the look on Hong Zun and the others’ faces.

Inside the kitchen, Ye Changqing and the ghost cook each prepared their ingredients. They were naturally using human ingredients.

"Let’s start."

Looking coldly at Ye Changqing, the ghost cook said. Hearing this, Ye Changqing nodded lightly.

Fairy Baihua, Zhao Zhengping, and the others wanted to help, but this time Ye Changqing didn't want them to.

Since it was a competition, he should be a little serious. And it seemed he hadn't used a knife for a long time.

For a long time, work like cleaning ingredients, cutting vegetables, etc., had been handed over to Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and the others.

Ye Changqing only needed to handle the ladle.

Both sides’ dishes were the same. Taking out a large piece of magic beef, the ghost cook said coldly.

"Kid, today I’ll let you see what a real cook is like. The knife is like this..."

As he spoke, he picked up the kitchen knife on the side and turned his head to look at Ye Changqing inadvertently. But with this look, the whole ghost was frozen on the spot.

He said involuntarily.

"Holy crap, what is this stuff..."

He still wanted to show Ye Changqing what real knife skills were, but looking at it, he saw the "kitchen knife" in Ye Changqing’s hand swinging into afterimages. The speed was so fast that even he couldn't see it clearly.

And as these countless afterimages fell, the large piece of beef on the cutting board instantly became slices of uniform size, without the slightest difference.

Just this knife skill was not weaker than those top blade cultivators.

The ghost cook was stunned, and didn't come back to his senses until Ye Changqing had finished cutting the whole piece of beef.

Watching him frozen on the spot, the kitchen knife still held in mid-air, not falling for a long time, Ye Changqing laughed lightly.

"What’s wrong? Is the knife not handy?"

"You..."

He wanted to retort, but couldn't say a single word. Even if he wasn't willing in his heart, he had to admit that he didn't have Ye Changqing’s knife skills.

Even if he were given another hundred or thousand years, it would probably be hard to reach this level. He could only use the phrase "looking at the dust and feeling inferior" to describe it.
