Chapter 1528

All the way, they brought the middle-aged man into the main hall and saw Wu Shou.

Wu Shou had been in charge of the entrance lately, so everyone was familiar with him.

Although Wu Shou only had Emperor cultivation, these Emperor Sovereign space pirates were extremely respectful toward him—after all, he was a Grand Elder of Dao Yi Shengdi.

"Brother Wu, a newcomer has arrived; please register him, and we'll send him to Dao Yi Shengdi."

Without the middle-aged man needing to speak, the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates had already struck up a familiar chat with Wu Shou.

Hearing that, Wu Shou smiled, nodded in response, exchanged a few pleasantries with the five, then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man.

After briefly asking for some information, Wu Shou completed the registration and handed a token to the middle-aged man.

He remained dazed the whole time, until the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates pulled him out of the hall and into Haotu Shijie, where the middle-aged man finally asked, looking sullen.

"Fellow Daoists, where are we going now?"

Hearing that, the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates enthusiastically explained.

"Brother Wu has finished the registration there; naturally we're now heading to Dao Yi Shengdi."

"Let me tell you, Brother Ye's culinary skill is top-notch; as a newcomer you can eat a meal for free, but if you want more later you'll need Tiāndào Qìyùn."

"No need to say more; once you taste it yourself you'll know—it'll be unforgettable."

When mentioning Ye Zhangqing's cooking, the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

They pulled the middle-aged man and hurried toward Dao Yi Shengdi, while he felt nothing particular about it.

After all, he had never eaten Ye Zhangqing's food, so he didn't know what his culinary skill signified.

He was full of doubts—he hadn't come to abduct people, so why had he been mysteriously dragged in?

Moreover, these five Emperor Sovereign space pirates seemed not to have come to Haotu Shijie to seize people, but to pursue some Tiāndào Qìyùn.

From the five, the middle-aged man also learned a bit.

The dominant power in Haotu Shijie is that Dao Yi Shengdi, which now appears to be cooperating with many space pirates.

Many space pirates help Haotu Shijie seize Tiāndào Qìyùn, while Dao Yi Shengdi pays them with food.

But that sounds rather odd.

"After all, you're Emperor Sovereign realm cultivators—can a single meal really make you risk your lives?"

"Is it really that cheap? Granted, a space pirate's life isn't worth much, given they constantly skate on the edge of death."

"But no matter how worthless they are, they couldn't be worthless to this extent, could they?"

"Is it worth risking one's life for a meal?"

Along the way, the middle-aged man finally couldn't hold back and voiced his doubt.

He simply couldn't fathom how a mere meal could make you risk your life—something he had never heard of in all his years.

Yet the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates all considered it perfectly normal.

"You just don't understand—Brother Ye's food is unlike any other."

"Exactly—if you could eat Brother Ye's food, I wouldn't trade it for Emperor-level pills............."

One of the Emperor Sovereign space pirates still wanted to speak, but the one beside him clapped a hand over his mouth on the spot.

He frantically gave him a look.

"How can this idiot blurt out everything? If he keeps talking like that, how will we ever mooch a meal later?"

Interrupting him, they quickly changed the subject.

"When you've eaten it you'll know, though tastes differ—I don't know if you'll like it, but trying it is certainly fine."

For now we shouldn't say too much; we'll talk after the meal.

Watching the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates' strange behavior, the middle-aged man sensed something off, though he couldn't put his finger on it.

Besides, having come this far, there seemed to be no other option.

"But how could an otherwise peaceful world think to cooperate with space pirates?"

"Yet these space pirates, for some unknown reason, actually agreed."

Without delay they rushed to Dao Yi Shengdi, first bringing the middle-aged man to see Qi Xiong.

Qi Xiong outlined the rules, which were all old hat.

With the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates echoing alongside, the middle-aged man nodded in agreement, muddled as he was.

After settling things with Qi Xiong, what came next was the most exciting matter.

This was also the true reason the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates had been "attending to his every need, giving their all."

"Come on, come on, fellow Daoist—we're heading to the canteen."

"The canteen?"

"Yes, you're a newcomer; you get a meal—hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time."

As they walked toward the canteen, the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates couldn't help but gulp saliva wildly.

After expending so much effort and time, isn't it all just for this bite to eat?

And seeing the middle-aged man's clear eyes revealing stupidity, the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates felt even more delighted.

Look, newcomers are still good—those old-timers are now as sharp as monkeys.

Trying to mooch a meal is practically harder than climbing to heaven; it requires risking one's life.

"Unlike this middle-aged man, who still hasn't figured things out—but it's good that he hasn't."

All the way they dragged the middle-aged man in a rush to the canteen, not giving him a chance to speak.

Along the way the middle-aged man remained dazed, wondering what magic the canteen held that could excite five Emperor Sovereign powerhouses like this.

Since it wasn't mealtime yet, the canteen had hardly any disciples.

Ye Zhangqing and Qiu Baiyi with several women were resting and chatting in the rear courtyard, while the five Emperor Sovereign space pirates pulled the middle-aged man in with big strides.

"Brother Ye, we're back again."

Huh???

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly; the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

Seeing the five people, Ye Zhangqing looked puzzled; how did these five guys come back again?

Haven't we just eaten?

Earlier, the five of them joined forces to seize a world's Tiāndào Qìyùn; after sending the Tiāndào Qìyùn back, they rushed straight to the Canteen and had a meal.

I also made it for them, but how come they're back again?

In this amount of time, could they have seized another batch? No, that's not right; this amount of time isn't enough to do anything, the Star Battleship probably hasn't even taken off yet.

"What's this?"

Curiously asking, upon hearing this, the five Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates all turned their gazes toward the middle-aged man.

"Ye Er-ge, this is a newcomer; we already saw Qi Shèngzhǔ earlier, so we brought him over to eat."

"Newcomer?"

Gazing at the middle-aged man, Ye Zhangqing's look was a bit strange.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the person; rather, this guy is willing to share the meal with others.

Taking another look at the five Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates' mouths, which were almost split up to their ears, Ye Zhangqing understood.

This guy must have been fooled into being stupid, but out of conscience, Ye Zhangqing still asked another question.

"Are you sure you want to share this meal with others?"

This guy alone, according to the rules, only amounts to three dishes and one soup; not enough for one person, let alone six people eating.
