Chapter 1366: What Ingredient Is This?

Looking at Qiu Baiyi's originally stunning face, now, from enduring, it has become ferociously terrifying, like a man-eating tigress.

Ye Zhangqing unconsciously stepped back, feeling that just being with her put him in danger.

You.......... tired? I peeled a spirit fruit for you.

At this moment, Qiu Baiyi still tried to speak gently, but the more she did so, the more Ye Zhangqing feared her.

This woman isn't going to eat people, is she?

No need, I have some things to do; I'll go out and keep busy.

Having said that, without waiting for Qiu Baiyi's reply, he turned and walked out of the rear courtyard—just watching it made one's heart go cold.

For this meal, Ye Zhangqing didn't dare return to the rear courtyard, and for the first time he appeared in the front courtyard during Fàn diǎn.

Moreover, many disciples who came to the Canteen to eat finally got to see the legendary Young Master Ye.

For a moment, many female disciples' eyes lit up.

Chúyì is extraordinary, talent extraordinary, and his looks are so handsome—what more could one ask for, a bicycle?

So when serving meals, many disciples were eager to go up and chat with Ye Zhangqing.

But for some unknown reason, as they walked up to Ye Zhangqing, though they initially wore an expectant, shy expression, the next second their faces instantly turned to fright, and they left without looking back.

Watching one female disciple after another approach him, then shift from delight to terror, and then hurry away.

It seemed as if a delay of just a second would cost him his head, leaving Ye Zhangqing utterly bewildered.

Is everyone in Bai Song Gu a lunatic?

How come these disciples seem abnormal too, coming one by one to put on a face-changing act in front of me?

They say a woman's face changes faster than flipping a book, but there's no need to come specially to my place just to show it off.

Besides, one or two would be enough, but they keep coming one after another, and Ye Zhangqing is getting dazed by it.

After the meal, Ye Zhangqing finally mustered the courage to return to the rear courtyard, and fortunately Qiu Baiyi had already returned to normal.

Moreover, during the day Qiu Baiyi was still gentle; whatever Ye Zhangqing said, she obediently listened.

At dinner, Ye Zhangqing used the same routine, and Qiu Baiyi in the rear courtyard was equally stubborn.

Though enduring it was extremely painful, she simply wouldn't leave, stubbornly waiting in the rear courtyard for Ye Zhangqing to return.

When evening came, Qiu Baiyi reverted to that wolf-like, tigress-like woman.

Another day of going out while holding his waist, Ye Zhangqing silently cursed.

"Fine, fine, fine, if that's how you want to play, I'll see how many days you can endure."

"I've also been messed up by this woman—you act on the first, I act on the fifteenth, you act at night, so don't blame me for acting during the day."

Coincidentally, that Great Emperor Elder from Bai Song Gu had come back specially after slaying several star beasts.

The star beasts were huge; the canteen couldn't hold them, so they could only be placed in the open space behind the canteen.

"Can this really be eaten?"

Handing the star beast over to Ye Zhangqing, that elder still asked with a doubtful look, unable to believe that the star beast could actually be eaten.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded.

"It's edible; you'll find out at noon."

Today we have star beast ingredients; good, after glancing at the rear courtyard, Ye Zhangqing's eyes flashed with a "cold gleam"—I'll see how you endure today.

Star beast ingredients are top-tier, comparable to the demons' finest; today I'll break your defenses.

He greeted Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan, and the Spirit Chef, and they began processing the star beast's corpse.

Whether the star beast is edible hinges on how this ingredient is handled; if mishandled, the star beast meat will be extraordinarily bitter.

Ye Zhangqing handled this with ease, and shortly finished preparing the ingredients needed for noon.

Then came the cooking; as befits top-tier ingredients, even just the aroma far surpassed that of the previous spirit beasts.

When Fàn diǎn arrived, the many disciples already waiting outside the canteen smelled that aroma, richer than before, and their saliva practically flowed backward.

"What's going on today? Why does it smell even better than before?"

"Be confident, discard the feeling—it really is more fragrant than before."

"I thought I had gradually grown accustomed to this aroma, at least able to hold back, but now I feel I can't hold back."

"Me too."

"What should I do? I really want to rush in right now."

"Stay steady, the canteen's rules must not be broken, otherwise you'll have no meal when the time comes."

"I'm holding back."

The many disciples only felt that the canteen's aroma today, compared to before, had risen another level.

The Spirit Chef's apprentice in the crowd was also drooling, and a youth looked at the Spirit Chef and said...

"Master, today's dishes are more fragrant; you mean Young Master Ye hasn't been serious before?"

"Hell if I know, slurp...... and this aroma doesn't seem like that of spirit beasts, slurp.........."

As a Spirit Chef, Liu should indeed be more professional; although his Chúyì pales in comparison to Ye Zhangqing's, he still managed to discern some details in the aroma that others missed.

The many disciples didn't care about all that; they only knew that today's aroma was more fragrant and tempting than before, making it hard to restrain themselves.

But no one paid attention to the fact that this aroma didn't resemble that of spirit beasts.

The Spirit Chef himself was also curious: what ingredient could be this fragrant?

Fortunately, they didn't keep everyone waiting long; as Fàn diǎn arrived, the gate was opened and the crowd surged in.

At that moment, everyone had only one thought: to chow down.

Ye Zhangqing likewise stayed in the front courtyard, worried that going to the rear courtyard would get him eaten by Qiu Baiyi.

"Can that woman hold out today?"

Watching the crowd wolfing down their food, heads practically buried in their bowls, one could tell that today's star beast feast was far stronger than before—by who knows how much.

Even the two disciples of Spirit Chef couldn't stop eating.

Besides being delicious, there was still a doubt in their heart.

What exactly is this ingredient?

Although Spirit Chef kept eating, they also pondered in their heart, how come they've never tasted this ingredient's flavor before?

Spirit beast? Wild beast? Magic beast? No, none of them. I've gone through all the ingredients I've seen, but none match.

He admitted that his cooking skill was far inferior to Ye Zhangqing's, but he still had some vision.

After all, I am a Ninth-Grade Spirit Chef; if my cooking skill is lacking, could it be that I can't even tell ingredients apart?

You should know that knowledge of ingredients is something that even a One-Grade Spirit Chef needs to learn at the entry level.

After all, as a cook, if you don't even know all the ingredients, what's the point of studying anything?

Just as a Pill Master needs to identify various spiritual medicines, a Weapon Refiner, Talisman Master, and Artifact Master need to identify various materials.

The same goes for Spirit Chefs, but now, Spirit Chef, who is a Ninth-Grade Spirit Chef, has discovered that they don't seem to know this ingredient—this is totally absurd.

I, a Ninth-Grade Spirit Chef, have become illiterate?

After finishing the meal, though it was satisfying, my heart was full of doubts; finally I couldn't hold back, I came before Ye Zhangqing, my face flushed red, and asked.

"Chef Ye, junior has a question to ask."
