Chapter 1607

This Demon Realm Emperor Sovereign didn't know the situation outside the room, after all he didn't have Luo Jiuyou's abilities.

And the next second, as the private room's door was pushed open, Ye Zhangqing walked in carrying dishes.

Today, several groups of Space Pirates have returned; Bai Hua Xianzi, Shan Hu and the others are busy, so Ye Zhangqing can only serve the dishes himself.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing approach, the people of the Nine Nether Realm then turned their gazes toward him.

This was the first time the two sides had met, after all previously Ye Zhangqing only handled cooking and had no contact with the Nine Nether Realm people.

As for these, Ye Zhangqing himself wasn't particularly interested.

Taking the food out of the Space Ring and placing it on the table one by one, Ye Zhangqing greeted them and then wanted to leave.

However, Luo Jiuyou suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Wait a moment."

"Anything up?"

"How should I address you, fellow cultivator?"

"Ye Zhangqing."

Huh???

Hearing this, Luo Jiuyou and the others' expressions turned somewhat strange; previously they had asked Shi Song what the name of this spirit chef who cooked was, and it seemed to be Ye Zhangqing.

A Demon Realm Emperor Sovereign said doubtfully.

"You're Ye Zhangqing?"

"Yeah."

"Did you make all these dishes?"

"Yes."

He didn't hide it, after all there's nothing to hide about this; it's just that he made it himself.

At this moment, everyone's gaze toward Ye Zhangqing changed; this meal really was made by this kid.

However, Luo Jiuyou was also equally interested in Ye Zhangqing himself, aside from the food.

Luo Jiuyou stared at Ye Zhangqing with unblinking eyes and smiled.

"Brother Ye, I'm Luo Jiuyou; let's get to know each other—don't mind becoming friends."

"Of course I don't mind."

Ye Zhangqing knew Luo Jiuyou's identity: he was the young master of the Demon Realm, with extraordinary talent, as evidenced by his ability to reach Emperor-level cultivation just like him.

You have to know, Ye Zhangqing is basically cheating, while Luo Jiuyou relies entirely on his own talent.

Of course, the Demon Realm's various inheritances, plus massive amounts of Xiūliàn resources, are certainly not lacking.

But this doesn't deny Luo Jiuyou's talent.

Their eyes met, and Ye Zhangqing wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but from Luo Jiuyou's gray-black eyes he seemed to see a faint glimmer slowly turning.

However, being faint and fleeting, it gave an insubstantial feeling.

Luo Jiuyou, however, was now completely certain that Ye Zhangqing's age was indeed not much older than his own.

He was even younger, yet his cultivation level was the same as Luo Jiuyou's.

He hadn't expected such a figure to be hidden within the Dao Yi Shengdi; mainly because the person was also a spirit chef, and his Chúyì was so high that he had never seen anyone who could match it.

For a moment, Luo Jiuyou developed a strong curiosity toward Ye Zhangqing.

Within the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, among the younger generation, only a handful of people could pique his interest.

Whether they liked him, disliked him, or felt nothing, at least they could earn his genuine attention.

After all, at Luo Jiuyou's stature, there are hardly any friends or enemies left around him.

Take that demon tribe individual, for example—although Luo Jiuyou dislikes him greatly, he still finds himself thinking of him when idle.

He constantly thinks about fighting that guy again, hoping for a chance to kill him, even though it's unrealistic, but the thought persists.

But others are different; in Luo Jiuyou's heart, they basically carry no weight.

It's not worth his mental effort to remember them.

And now, it seems another such person has appeared.

Among peers, Ye Zhangqing is the only one he's seen who can squeeze into their circle.

So, his earlier evaluation of the Dao Yi Shengdi wasn't quite fair.

The Dao Yi Shengdi also has seedlings like him; this Dao Yi Shengdi is not simple—does it mean 'peak right from birth'?

Although it still can't compare to the Nine Nether Realm or the Demon Realm as top-tier worlds, they do have this potential.

After briefly introducing themselves and exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Zhangqing took his leave.

Luo Jiuyou was busy eating, so he didn't insist on keeping him, thinking they could talk after the meal.

No matter how many times he ate Ye Zhangqing's dishes, he always felt it wasn't enough.

As he ate the feast before him, Luo Jiuyou's curiosity about Ye Zhangqing grew ever stronger.

After finishing the meal and being full of food and drink, Luo Jiuyou planned to visit Ye Zhangqing.

Finally, under Shan Hu's guidance, Luo Jiuyou arrived at the Dong Fu.

He saw Ye Zhangqing sitting with Bai Hua Xianzi, Qiu Baiyi and three other women, drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing Luo Jiuyou approach, Ye Zhangqing smiled and said.

"Brother Luo, please have a seat."

Given how insistent Luo Jiuyou was on seeing him, Ye Zhangqing couldn't very well refuse.

Ye Zhangqing personally poured him a cup of tea; Luo Jiuyou took a sip, then smiled and said.

"Brother Ye, you have refined taste—such top-grade Dao-understanding tea is rare."

"Just drinking for fun, by the way—these few are all Ye Zhangqing's dao partners."

This Dao-comprehension tea, Ye Zhangqing has indeed drunk plenty of it; besides, he's not lacking it. Recently, those Space Pirates, upon returning from other worlds, always bring back plenty of good stuff for themselves.

Ye Zhangqing trying to refuse would be pointless; the Space Pirates give gifts, you must accept them whether you like it or not.

Just leave it where it is; as long as you don't lose it yourself.

He briefly introduced Qiu Baiyi and the few ladies.

Luo Jiuyou also politely greeted them, but upon seeing Qiu Baiyi, Luo Jiuyou was slightly taken aback.

Emperor Sovereign cultivation?

But he wasn't overly surprised; after all, given his status, finding a dao partner with Emperor Sovereign cultivation isn't difficult.

Or speaking of the Netherworld Clan, that's just a matter of a sentence.

But Qiu Baiyi, as an Emperor Sovereign powerhouse, is not old either, which sufficiently shows his high talent.

Of course, Luo Jiuyou's purpose for coming here is not for Bai Hua Xianzi and the three ladies, but for Ye Zhangqing.

After the greetings, Luo Jiuyou didn't beat around the bush, directly looking at Ye Zhangqing and said.

"Brother Ye, to be frank, you are the only one I've seen who is qualified to enter our circle."

The circle Luo Jiuyou referred to is exactly those few Top Prodigies.

Originally, the members of this circle were basically determined at birth; everyone has an extraordinary background, and even before birth they had already used countless resources to lay their foundations.

Or they are temporarily sealed via Mìfǎ, awaiting a suitable opportunity to be reborn.

Anyway, no matter what means are used, the members of this circle seem to have been destined from the start.

As for others, even if they break their heads trying, it's hard to enter their circle.

But Ye Zhangqing's appearance broke this convention.

So, Luo Jiuyou really wanted..........

"Brother Ye, would you be interested in exchanging a few moves? Let's make friends through martial arts, how about it?"

It's rare to see a newcomer who can stand shoulder to shoulder with oneself; Luo Jiuyou naturally couldn't contain his excitement.

Wanting to have a hearty fight with Ye Zhangqing, but Ye Zhangqing had no interest at all and refused outright without even thinking.

"No thanks, I'm not interested in these."
