Chapter 1574: That Old Thing of the Demon Race

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master picked up the old man like a chick and directly took him away.

Moreover, the difference in their builds was huge; the Vermilion Bird Hall Master was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, while the old man was thin and small, his face full of wrinkles.

Watching the old man being taken away by the Vermilion Bird Hall Master, Ye Zhangqing and his party followed behind, their expressions somewhat strange.

Is this old man really the Eternal Night Old Ancestor? He's completely unlike what I imagined.

Soon after, the group arrived at an inn, and the Vermilion Bird Hall Master generously bought out the whole inn.

In the backyard, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions looked at the old man speechlessly and said.

"Old Ancestor, could you give some money next time?"

"I didn't bring any."

As the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, coming to Gōulán without any money—if word got out, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

Seeing the Old Ancestor's indifferent look, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions were utterly speechless.

How can our Old Ancestor be like this, showing no semblance of a Mighty Ancestor-realm expert?

Not wanting to dwell on this issue, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions could only say they had long grown accustomed to it.

He pointed at Ye Zhangqing, and the Vermilion Bird Hall Master spoke.

"Old Ancestor, this is the Ye Zhangqing I mentioned to you before."

Upon hearing that, the old man finally looked at Ye Zhangqing, his eyes full of a lecherous expression; Ye Zhangqing suppressed his doubts and bowed with clasped hands.

"Junior Ye Zhangqing, I pay my respects, Senior."

"Are you Ye Zhangqing? They say your cooking is delicious? Come, come, come—first cook a bowl of noodles for this old man to try."

"Huh???"

As soon as he spoke, without saying anything else, he directly demanded a bowl of noodles; hearing that, Ye Zhangqing didn't refuse either, directly using the inn's kitchen to cook a bowl of beef noodles for the old man.

Smelling the aroma of the noodles, the old man couldn't help but gulp.

A big bowl of noodles, the old man finished it in a few bites, not even leaving a drop of broth.

After finishing, the old man still had an expression of wanting more and said.

"Good, good, good—it seems no exaggeration; your culinary skill is the best I've ever eaten, bar none."

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor is an ancient relic who knows how many years he's lived.

In the myriad worlds, he's probably already traversed them all; he's seen plenty, his standards are high.

But speaking honestly, his culinary skill is the best he's ever seen; no one can compare.

Even those once-famous spirit chefs of the ages are far inferior to Ye Zhangqing.

Facing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's praise, Ye Zhangqing thanked him humbly.

Next came the discussion of the alliance.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions naturally spared no effort in speaking up for Ye Zhangqing.

They kept saying how good the benefits of an alliance with the Haotu World were, how how.

Moreover, they said the Eternal Night Old Ancestor fears neither the demon race nor Human Emperor's Palace.

Although the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions nodded, meaning the matter was basically settled, after all it still needed the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's nod.

Listening to the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor remained absent-minded.

It felt as if he were still savoring last night, that little Cui really......

After speaking for a long time, still waiting for the Eternal Night Old Ancestor to respond, the Azure Dragon Hall Master frowned and said.

"Old Ancestor, what are you thinking about?"

"Little Cui........"

"Huh???"

He almost blurted it out subconsciously; hearing this, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions' faces darkened— we were discussing important matters, yet you're still thinking about that damn courtesan.

Moreover, you're an Ancestor-realm expert; in the myriad worlds, you could have any woman you want— why insist on hanging yourself over a courtesan?

Faced with the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's behavior, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions were utterly speechless.

This guy is really out of tune.

"Old Ancestor, let's talk about the matter at hand."

"Oh oh oh, you say, go on, I'm listening."

Seeing that the Eternal Night Old Ancestor clearly hadn't absorbed a word, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions only felt a stifled anger in their chests, really uncomfortable.

Even Ye Zhangqing beside them couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

This Eternal Night Old Ancestor, compared to what I imagined........ how to put it? It's not that they're completely unrelated, but they're totally different.

Finally, after the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions' relentless effort, they managed to explain the alliance with the Haotu World in full.

Hearing that, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor said indifferently.

"You can decide this yourselves; no need to ask me— that old thing of the demon race, I haven't crossed swords with him in ages."

Upon hearing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's words, he must be acquainted with the demon race's old ancestor.

Moreover, although the myriad worlds are vast and experts countless, Ancestor-realm experts are after all only so many.

It's not strange for them to know each other.

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor saying that meant he agreed to the alliance, and the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Old Ancestor's nod, the matter is essentially settled.

Ye Zhangqing also breathed a sigh of relief as if a weight had been lifted.

But just then, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor suddenly turned his head, looked at Ye Zhangqing, and said.

"By the way, little Ye, your culinary skill is so good— can you make pastries?"

"I can."

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing truthfully replied, in this aspect of pastries his skill is also not bad; although I don't know what the Eternal Night Old Ancestor wants to do, I still truthfully nodded and replied.

Seeing this, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor cracked a smile.

"Hehe, then you make one for me, something women like to eat, and later I'll send it to Little Cui."

"Huh???"

I originally couldn't figure it out, but I never expected that the Eternal Night Old Ancestor suddenly asking what pastry to make was actually for Little Cui.

"Old Ancestor............"

Hearing this, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master couldn't hold back: "You're supposed to be our Yongye's Old Ancestor, yet all day you're just thinking about a courtesan—what kind of talk is that?"

Facing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's Hedong lion's roar, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor merely pursed his lips and said.

"What are you yelling about? At my age, I can't even find a dao companion?"

"Are you looking for a dao companion? Which decent person goes to Gōulán to look for a dao companion?"

"Different strokes for different folks; who says Gōulán is no good?"

"Ye Zhangqing, hurry up and make some pastries for me; I want to send them to Little Cui."

Faced with the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's urging, Ye Zhangqing nodded with a strange expression, agreeing—Is this Eternal Night Old Ancestor really that fawning?

Soon, the pastries were made according to the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's request.

Taking the food box, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor grinned widely and walked off happily.

He kept muttering "Little Cui, Little Cui" under his breath, leaving Ye Zhangqing and the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and several others with their heads full of Black Line.

After the Eternal Night Old Ancestor left, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master gritted his teeth and said.

"You don't need to worry about him; the Old Ancestor is just like that. However, since he has already agreed, the alliance is officially established."

"Rest assured, since Yongye has joined the alliance, we will absolutely not stand by and do nothing."

"Thank you, senior."

The alliance matter is now officially settled, which also means Ye Zhangqing's long efforts haven't been in vain.

Although this Eternal Night Old Ancestor is different from what I imagined, as long as he has the strength, that's enough.

As for what kind of person he is, Ye Zhangqing doesn't care; he's just such a guy—would you believe he's an Ancestor Realm powerhouse?

Those who don't know him probably couldn't even imagine it, especially the people from that Gōulán, and that burly man from before.
