Chapter 187

Seeing the Jiaolong big skewer instantly cleaned, Hong Zun and the three's eyes widened instantly.

Seeing Bai Hua Xianzi reaching out again, Hong Zun had enough.

I had thought the junior sister was a lady, surely not like these old geezers who don't care about their image for food.

But now it looks like she actually has real skill.

She can eat both elegantly and quickly—simply amazing.

"Wait, junior sister, you didn't say you were just going to taste it?"

Not letting her eat anymore, upon hearing Hong Zun's words, Bai Hua Xianzi's smile didn't fade; she seemed to realize something and said with a gentle tone.

"Oh, Shī xiōng, you mean we should go through the process? Junior sister has no problem."

Speaking, Bai Hua Xianzi slowly drew her long sword; she had just seen the disciples seemingly wanting to compete for the food, and Hong Zun Shī xiōng probably meant the same.

If it's just a fight, she can definitely handle it—no problem.

Seeing this, Hong Zun was completely stunned—no, I didn't mean that! You say no problem, but it's a big problem.

"Junior sister, that's not what I meant, Shī xiōng means…………."

"Mm, the taste is really good; I've never had such a delicacy before."

Before she finished speaking, Bai Hua Xianzi already picked up another skewer and ate it, her speed undiminished.

Seeing this, Hong Zun really panicked—in the blink of an eye, two big skewers were gone.

Immediately, not bothering to say more, he grabbed a Jiaolong big skewer from the grill and started eating; beside him, Qing Shi and Zhāng Tiānzhèn seeing this, were also not slow, and for a moment the four of them scrambled.

Originally the three of them were already barely enough to eat; now with Bai Hua Xianzi added, it's completely insufficient—Hong Zun and company have met their match.

Anyway, with the arrival of the Jade Maiden Peak disciples, the entire camp descended into chaos.

The disciples were happily scrambling, completely failing to notice the multitude of aquatic demon kings outside the Formation, their faces growing ever darker.

Their teeth were almost grinding from anger, but at the same time, the demon kings also noticed the arrival of the Jade Maiden Peak.

"The Dao Yi Sect's reinforcements have arrived."

A demon king spoke up; hearing this, the Old Dragon King asked with killing intent.

"How much longer until the main army arrives?"

Previously, the aquatic army went to Hai Xi City; after the Dragon Palace had an incident, only the Old Dragon King brought a host of demon kings back to support.

Now the plan has changed; these demon kings can only rush back from Hai Xi City to Jinhai Yingdi.

However, because of their large numbers and uneven cultivation, their speed naturally slows.

Even without rest, it would take several days to make it back to Jinhai Yingdi.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we still need two days."

Upon hearing this, the Old Dragon King looked with killing intent at the Dao Yi Sect disciples inside the Formation and said fiercely.

"Let them live another two days; then I will break the Formation in one fell swoop and ensure they die without a burial place."

Now the main army isn't here, so naturally it's not the best time to break the Formation; thus we can only endure for now.

The aquatic side indeed has a backup plan; after a gust of wind swept away the remnants of the clouds inside the Formation, everyone still felt somewhat unsatisfied, but with no food left, they could only stop.

Holding a large tea pot, Ye Zhangqing, who was resting, suddenly saw a beautiful woman walking toward him.

Clad in a light blue long dress, she appeared knowledgeable and elegant, her smile giving a feeling like a spring breeze.

Not knowing who she was, until the beautiful woman came before Ye Zhangqing and spoke with a smile.

"You are Ye Zhangqing, right?"

"Who are you?"

"I am the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak; I just tasted your cooking, the flavor was excellent, so I came specially to thank you and also to get to know the chef of the Dao Yi Sect."

Speaking, she also slightly bowed in salute, paired with Bai Hua Xianzi's signature gentle smile, lifting people's mood involuntarily—after all, who doesn't like beautiful things?

But before Ye Zhangqing could respond, Hong Zun behind her had had enough.

"Junior sister, that's not right—what do you mean 'chef of the Dao Yi Sect'? Zhangqing kid is clearly a disciple of our Divine Sword Peak."

"Isn't Divine Sword Peak part of the Dao Yi Sect?"

"That's true, but Zhangqing kid is different—after all, Zhangqing kid is a person of our Divine Sword Peak, unrelated to your Jade Maiden Peak; strictly speaking, this meal is us Divine Sword Peak inviting you to eat."

Hong Zun's meaning is clear: our Divine Sword Peak's food, you Jade Maiden Peak disciples don't even have the qualification to fight over it.

So, from now on when eating, you Jade Maiden Peak disciples can just stand aside and watch.

Regarding this, Bai Hua Xianzi narrowed her eyes, smiling at Hong Zun.

"In that case, I'll contact Senior Brother and let him know the situation at Jinhai Yingdi."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, looking again at Bai Hua Xianzi, Hong Zun only felt that her sweet smile now seemed a bit off.

It's also because there are no Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ around; otherwise they would definitely be very familiar with this scene.

Back then, during that big battle outside the camp, weren't they threatened like this by the Jade Maiden Peak disciples?

After all this fuss, this is totally your Jade Maiden Peak's usual trick, huh.

If it weren't for the threat from the Jade Maiden Peak disciples, how could the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ possibly tacitly accept the Jade Maiden Peak also snatching food?

Seeing Hong Zun stunned in place, Bai Hua Xianzi continued speaking, her tone gentle.

"The junior sister's demands are not high; fair competition is enough. Shī xiōng, you probably don't want the rest of the Sect to know about this, right?"

The corner of his mouth twitched. Good, very good, the seven-inch point has been grasped, steady.

There was completely no choice, and Ye Zhangqing beside him, looking at Bai Hua Xianzi, just wanted to say one thing: she is really so gentle, even her threats can be expressed this gently.

Unconsciously, Ye Zhangqing stepped back half a step; just then, Bai Hua Xianzi turned her head, noticed this unintentional half-step, and smiled.

"Am I being disliked?"

As he spoke, his slightly narrowed eyes opened a little more, his smile also took on a different tone, and Ye Zhangqing instantly felt a dangerous aura.

No, absolutely not, senior, you're overthinking.

He hurriedly explained; upon hearing that, Bai Hua Xianzi only then regained her previous gentleness.

So you won't despise me?

It's necessary.

Then that's good.

Smiling, he nodded, then turned and left.

Only after Bai Hua Xianzi left did Ye Zhangqing let out a long breath; the same scene also appeared on Hong Zun, though he also carried a hint of helplessness.

On the other side, as Bai Hua Xianzi returned, Zhao Rou, Zhong Ling, and the others all felt a bone-deep chill.

Gently, she asked the disciples.

So you all already knew the secret of Divine Sword Peak?

Master...... Shīzūn, we..........

Faced with the question, Zhao Rou, Zhong Ling, and the other girls all turned pale, stammering and unable to speak for a long time; the remaining Jade Maiden Peak disciples likewise lowered their heads, daring not to make a sound.

It was as if they were facing some great terror, yet clearly before them was only a gentle-faced Bai Hua Xianzi; this sight left the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ looking puzzled.

What's wrong with them?
