Chapter 1334: Again into the Wolf's Den?

The severed arm quickly regrew, and seeing Ye Zhangqing's already distant back, the beautiful woman's face showed shock, but not too much panic.

She had not expected that Ye Zhangqing could actually escape from her grasp.

With Great Saint Realm cultivation, to be forced to this point is truly unexpected.

But.................

Just as Ye Zhangqing had not gone far, a crack suddenly appeared in the space ahead, and from the crack walked out another woman with Great Emperor cultivation, blocking Ye Zhangqing's path.

Needless to say, this is another expert from Bai Song Gu.

"No wonder it can make the Viper and the Blood Sever care so much; being able to do this despite being one major realm apart is quite rare."

As soon as this woman appeared, she smiled and said to Ye Zhangqing.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing helplessly stopped his steps; at this moment, front and back were both blocked, and the beautiful woman whose arm he had previously cut off also caught up.

Knowing there was little chance, Ye Zhangqing instead became calm, looking at the two Great Emperor cultivator women ahead, he said helplessly.

"I don't have any grudge with you Bai Song Gu, do I?"

"No, but our Valley Master is very interested in you."

"I'm just a junior with Great Saint cultivation; what interest could you have in me? The affairs of the Tianwu Realm have nothing to do with me; I just want to leave."

Ye Zhangqing said truthfully.

"You're not an ordinary Great Saint; wasn't that earlier battle enough to show it? As for the rest, follow us back, see the Valley Master, and the Valley Master will naturally decide."

"Of course we can't let Ye Zhangqing go; after all, this is Qiu Baiyi's order."

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing said nothing more; now he could only take things one step at a time.

After successfully capturing Ye Zhangqing, Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan, and the spirit chef three also stopped resisting.

With so many experts from Bai Song Gu arriving, they were surely no match.

Helplessly boarding Bai Song Gu's spirit vessel, the vessel slowly lifted off and then headed straight for Bai Song Gu.

Along the way there was no delay; after one day, Ye Zhangqing already appeared before Qiu Baiyi.

Having already restored his original appearance, there's no point in continuing to hide it.

Qiu Baiyi's beautiful eyes scanned Ye Zhangqing up and down; she didn't pay much attention to Li Tie Niu and the others, smiling with interest.

"To make the Viper care so much, you must be more than just simple strength."

Qiu Baiyi knew Ye Zhangqing's combat ability was extraordinary, but relying solely on that could not possibly make the Viper this anxious; there must be other reasons.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing gave no answer; having just escaped the tiger's den, had he now entered the wolf's lair?

All I want is to leave the Tianwu Realm; why is it so difficult?

Seeing Ye Zhangqing not reply, Qiu Baiyi didn't mind and said indifferently.

"I heard you're also a spirit chef; how about you make me a meal so I can taste your skill?"

Qiu Baiyi's guess was most likely due to Ye Zhangqing's cooking skill.

Perhaps Ye Zhangqing's cooking skill is excellent, which is why the Viper values him.

It must be said, this woman's guess is very accurate, almost completely correct.

Just hearing this, Ye Zhangqing naturally could not admit it, nor would he foolishly reveal his cooking skill.

Back when he revealed his cooking skill before the Viper, it was to save his life.

Just as Ye Zhangqing was thinking of brushing her off, even deliberately making it taste bad so she would think he had no value and then let him go, Qiu Baiyi immediately continued.

"Don't think you can just brush me off."

"After all, I went to great trouble to find you; this time the Heavenly Union Merchant Association's price is not low. If you have no value, I can only make use of you as waste and hand you over to the Viper."

"I think he would be quite willing and wouldn't mind paying."

This woman has cut off all her retreats; if he falls into the Viper's hands again, Ye Zhangqing would certainly be absolutely unwilling.

After this incident, the Viper will definitely be extremely cautious; wanting to find another chance to escape would be even harder.

Now there are actually two choices before Ye Zhangqing: one is to refuse to admit it and, as Qiu Baiyi said, use himself to negotiate with the Viper.

The other is to prove himself and then stay with Qiu Baiyi.

Neither choice is good, but compared to the Viper, Ye Zhangqing still leans toward Qiu Baiyi.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing would not simply surrender meekly.

Looking toward Qiu Baiyi, Ye Zhangqing finally spoke.

"Good."

"Then I'll look forward to your cooking; take him to the kitchen."

Let that Great Emperor Elder beside them take Ye Zhangqing and the four to the kitchen; hearing this, that Great Emperor Elder nodded in agreement.

Bai Song Gu naturally has a kitchen, and everything that should be there is complete.

After bringing Ye Zhangqing and the four to the kitchen, that Great Emperor Elder stood guard in the courtyard, naturally giving them no chance to escape.

Inside the kitchen, Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan, and the three had grim faces, and the spirit chef wore a sullen expression as he asked.

"What should we do now?"

Not having escaped aside, now we've been brought to Bai Song Gu again; this doesn't mean anything has changed, does it?

It's just swapping one group of people for another.

Before it was the Viper gang; now it's Bai Song Gu.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing had already begun preparing dishes; seeing this, the spirit chef wondered.

"Ye Eldest Brother, what time is it now, you still have the mood? Are you really going to cook for that woman?"

"We must do it; otherwise the end result will be returning to the Viper. What do you think your fate would be if handed over to the Viper?"

Ye Zhangqing replied without raising his head; hearing this, the spirit chef immediately fell silent.

Being handed back to the Viper? He would definitely be dead; what's there to think about?

So now, staying behind is actually the best choice?

Without letting the three people help, Ye Zhangqing needs to prove his worth; that definitely requires showing some real skill.

Moreover, only by completely subduing this woman Qiu Baiyi can we later negotiate better terms.

As Ye Zhangqing busied himself in the kitchen, a fragrance soon drifted into the courtyard.

The woman who had been expressionlessly guarding Yuàn zhōng first wrinkled her nose, then couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

What a fragrant smell; her gaze unconsciously turned toward the kitchen—how good is this kid's Chúyì?

Just the smell of the food made her feel hungry, and she couldn't help wanting to eat.

She didn't even notice when she had appeared at the kitchen doorway; looking at the several dishes that had just come out of the pot, her mind was full of the idea of stepping forward to taste them.

Those several plates, exuding rich aroma and perfect in color, fragrance, and taste, now seemed like some heavenly treasure, constantly attracting her.

Gurgle-gurgle sounds of swallowing saliva kept ringing; she only felt that she was experiencing that long-lost sensation of hunger again.
