Chapter 1304

Upon waking up, as Ye Zhangqing went to the mess hall, along the way the attitudes of many space pirates completely changed.

When they met him face‑to‑face, all the space pirates would respectfully give Ye Zhangqing a salute.

Ye Lao Da (Big Brother Ye) - nickname

And they would respectfully call him "Boss Ye".

It seemed as if they truly regarded Ye Zhangqing as their leader.

Ye Zhangqing responded with a smiling nod, although he knew what these people were thinking, he didn't care, and certainly wouldn't expose it.

Dongfang Family (Eastern Family)

Whether they did it for the food or out of false courtesy, as long as they appeared that way on the surface, it was enough.

Dao Yi Shengdi (Dao Yi Holy Land)

Haotu Shijie (Vast Earth World)

Zhu Tian Wan Jie (Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds)

Cooking for this band of space pirates, Ye Zhangqing naturally became casual, unlike how he worried in the Haotu World.

At lunchtime, this time the many space pirates did not cause trouble again; they suppressed their inner restlessness, honestly and properly lining up in an orderly queue.

Elder of the Pill Master Alliance

Elder of the Artifact Master Alliance

And Ye Zhangqing's cooking skills also indeed did not disappoint them; after taking a bite, many Space Pirates were simply amazed.

There is such delicious food in this world; it simply makes them unable to stop eating.

Inside and outside the mess hall, even on the Star Battleship's passageways, one could see Space Pirates casually squatting there, shoveling food into their mouths.

Space Pirates never cared about details anyway; with such delicious food, they just find a place to squat and can start eating.

The chewing sounds of various foods rose and fell; the Space Pirates were eating with great enjoyment.

Even those leaders, when they see Ye Zhangqing today, will take the initiative to greet him.

"Ye Brother, I have several jars of fine aged wine; when we have time another day, you and I brothers will definitely have a good drink."

"Ye Brother, you just came; if you have anything, you can come find me; I will certainly not refuse."

"Ye Brother, you've joined us, but we haven't had time to hold a welcome feast yet; let me go talk to the boss and properly arrange one."

"Not bad, Ye Brother joining us, but we can't let you suffer injustice."

These leaders, each saying something more pleasant than the last; Ye Zhangqing nodded in response to each, smiling and exchanging a few pleasantries with several people.

But everyone knows this is just putting on a show for the occasion.

The leaders are greedy for Ye Zhangqing's cooking skills, not truly accepting him as a person.

And Ye Zhangqing didn't expect to become close with those leaders; he just wanted to temporarily placate them.

After exchanging pleasantries, the leaders who had gotten their food left satisfied.

And when the Viper arrived, he went straight into the mess hall; inside there was a small table, which at that moment already had three plates of dishes set upon it.

This is the Viper's small stove.

He looked in good spirits; after sitting down, the Viper also took out a small jar of fine wine, eating dishes while drinking, which was very comfortable.

"Come eat together."

Even seeing that Ye Zhangqing was fine, the Viper proactively invited him; Ye Zhangqing did not refuse.

As for Ye Zhangqing, the Viper truly felt he had picked up a treasure; this is indeed a treasure.

No matter what, he cannot be let go.

The Viper showered Ye Zhangqing with solicitous concern, appearing caring, and Ye Zhangqing responded in kind.

"Zhangqing Ah, since you've left that small world, you shouldn't think too much about it; a closed small world has nothing to linger over; the myriad worlds are vast, and this place is truly where you belong."

He also specially spoke a few words of comfort.

What he said sounded like he was thinking of Ye Zhangqing, but actually he just wanted Ye Zhangqing to forget the Haotu World and stay here peacefully.

"Boss, rest assured, I understand these things, but after all that place gave me birth and nurtured me; I need some time."

"Hmm, this is human nature, I can understand; don't look down on us Space Pirates as being lowly; in the myriad worlds, many disciples of great sects live no better than we do."

"Brothers together, drinking from big bowls and eating meat heartily— isn't that enjoyable?"

"By then, treasures, women— you can have as much as you want; even the holy maidens of great sects, I can seize them for you to serve as maidens— isn't that enjoyable?"

The Viper continually explained to Ye Zhangqing the benefits of being a Space Pirate, and Ye Zhangqing nodded in agreement each time.

From the Viper's mouth, the Space Pirates became even more desirable.

The two were each pretending; the Viper surely didn't fully trust Ye Zhangqing, but Ye Zhangqing also temporarily steadied him.

In the following days, Ye Zhangqing got along with the Viper more and more smoothly, like a fish in water.

He also got along well with many Space Pirates, even sharing a drink with the leaders.

Of course, the side dishes for drinks were indispensable, and Ye Zhangqing also brought them over.

Anyway, Ye Zhangqing is increasingly trusted by the Viper, but the Viper remains uneasy, constantly assigning people to monitor Ye Zhangqing.

On the other side, inside the Haotu World, after ten days of nonstop assembly,

The Dongfang Family's Star Battleship was finally restored to its original condition by the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the Formation Master Alliance Elder.

At this moment, on the main square of the Dao Yi Shengdi, the Star Battleship rested quietly there.

Yun Xiantai, Dongfang Hong, Hong Zun, Xu Jie, including the Artifact Master Alliance Elder, the Formation Master Alliance Elder, the Pill Master Alliance Elder, and others, were all ready.

Their numbers are not many, about five hundred, but they are the true top strength of the Haotu World.

As for the five Demon Caves, they had already been torn down with tears by Yun Xiantai earlier.

For now, only this can be done.

Right now even the cook has been kidnapped; what's the point of getting ingredients again? Everything will wait until we rescue Ye Zhangqing.

You don't need to come with me.

Dongfang Hong looked at Dongfang Bai standing beside him, saying with a helpless expression.

Originally I didn't plan to let Dongfang Bai go with me, but this girl is stubborn, insisting on coming along; no matter what I say, it's useless.

No choice, Dongfang Hong could only nod and agree.

The affairs of Haotu Shijie are left to you; when Shi Qingfeng and Wu Xiulan exit seclusion, let them guard Haotu Shijie.

Yun Xiantai instructed Qi Xiong, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, and Yaochi Shèngzhǔ.

Shi Qingfeng and Wu Xiulan have not yet exited seclusion, but Yun Xiantai has already made preparations.

The Demon Cave has also been destroyed; there should be no problem.

Upon hearing Yun Xiantai's words, the three people nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, no time was wasted; following Yun Xiantai's order, everyone boarded the Star Battleship.

As the formations on the battleship were activated one by one, the Star Battleship slowly rose into the sky, while Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong stood at the front of the battleship, preparing to open a spatial passage.
