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

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

"We are a ghost shop after all."

The ghost waiter in the front hall said angrily. As he was speaking, a ghost cook with a fiery temper and a burly build walked out of the kitchen and said fiercely.

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

"Hmph, can't even cook a few home-style dishes."

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

This ghost cook also had a fiery temper and wasn't afraid of Venerable Hong 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, within 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 appearance, Xu Jie smiled disdainfully.

"Who can't talk big? If you ask me, the best craft in this world belongs to my Junior Brother Changqing."

"You say it is, so it is?"

"What, don't believe it?"

"Heh, who can't talk big? 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."

"Are you sure?"

Hearing this, a look of success appeared on Xu Jie's face.

And Ye Changqing to the side smiled helplessly. Want to design me again, right?

When he said he wanted to taste the ghost cook's craft just now, Xu Jie was extremely reluctant. Now that he had the chance, what kind of bullshit competition—it was 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, Venerable Hong, and everyone's eyes lit up, and they all echoed.

"Compete then, who's afraid of whom?"

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

Hearing everyone's words, the 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 the young Ye Changqing, the ghost cook was stunned, then sneered.

"Yellow-mouthed kid, hair hasn't even grown fully, 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 cooking a meal, and he could also taste the ghost cook's craft.

Having lived two lives, to be honest, he had never eaten food made by an evil spirit.

Watching Ye Changqing agree, Venerable Hong and the others were so excited. Look, didn't it turn around again?

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

"This kid is not bad."

Qin Shanhai nodded.

"Junior Brother taught him well."

Shi Song praised.

"This child can be used for great things."

Qi Xiong smiled.

"My Dao-One Sect has successors."

Yu Bo agreed.

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

Venerable Hong was proud. Good kid, his brain turns fast, he saved face for his master.

Everyone excitedly watched Ye Changqing and the ghost cook walk 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 to the side saw this, his expression was extremely ugly.

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

Hearing this, Qi Xiong glanced at him unhappily.

"Can't even compete in cooking? Should I ask your Ghost Emperor?"

"You..."

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

Inside the kitchen, Ye Changqing and the ghost cook prepared their ingredients. Naturally, they were all human ingredients.

"Let's start."

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

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

Since it was a competition, let's 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 and cutting vegetables had been handed over to Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and the others.

Ye Changqing only needed to be in charge of the spoon.

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..."

While speaking, he picked up a kitchen knife to the side, and inadvertently turned his head to look at Ye Changqing. But with this look, the whole ghost was stunned on the spot.

He said unconsciously.

"Holy shit, what kind of thing is this..."

He wanted to show Ye Changqing what a real knife technique was, but with one look, 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 meat, uniform in size and without the slightest difference.

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

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

Watching him stunned in place, the kitchen knife held high in the air, not falling for a long time, Ye Changqing laughed softly.

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

"You..."

He wanted to refute, but couldn't say a word. Even if he wasn't willing, he had to admit that he didn't have Ye Changqing's knife technique.

Even if he were given a hundred or a thousand years, it would be hard to reach this level. He could only describe it as being left far behind.
