Chapter 1942

Zhang Xiaohai, this city lord, is basically just a mascot; in Cooking King Immortal City he enjoys great prestige, but he does not handle affairs.

Well, the Palace Master of Ultimate Bliss Palace comes with ill intent, but he's fine with it—he directly takes Ye Zhangqing to drink.

As for that, Bai Yuan and the others don't really have any objections; they can only say they've grown used to it.

Anyway, they've done this sort of thing more than once or twice.

The three exchanged a glance, and Bai Yuan spoke up.

"Let's go, fetch the person."

"Hmm."

Bai Yuan and the three of them together went out to deal with the Palace Master of Ultimate Bliss Palace; meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohai, Huang Lao, and Ye Zhangqing—the three of them—had already started drinking.

It was just a simple home-cooked meal, but this time the cook wasn't Zhang Xiaohai—it was Ye Zhangqing who took over.

After taking a bite of Ye Zhangqing's food, Zhang Xiaohai kept nodding and praising.

"Not bad, not bad—you kid, your cooking skills are impressive; it seems Bai Yuan and the others still know how to get things done."

Ye Zhangqing's cooking skill indeed surprised Zhang Xiaohai, and this praise was truly sincere.

Although Zhang Xiaohai usually doesn't involve himself in affairs, he naturally knows something about the cooking skills of the few Young City Lords.

If he didn't even understand this, then he might as well quit being city lord.

In Zhang Xiaohai's mind, counting Ye Zhangqing, among the four Young City Lords of Cooking King Immortal City, in terms of cooking skill Ye Zhangqing is absolutely first.

Based on this alone, he feels that Ye Zhangqing's position as Young City Lord is truly deserved; Bai Yuan and the others didn't hold back—they did well.

One bite and he was drawn in by this simple spread of food; even the wine he usually drinks now seems sweeter and more fragrant.

Indeed, good food enhances good wine—with a fine side dish, the wine tastes even better.

Faced with Zhang Xiaohai's repeated praise, Ye Zhangqing remained neither arrogant nor impatient.

He showed no excessive humility, nor any hint of arrogance, which made Zhang Xiaohai think even more highly of him.

Great—this is like picking up a treasure; train him a bit and he'll surely be a fine choice for city lord.

Naturally, he didn't know that Zhang Xiaohai had already considered letting him succeed as city lord.

The three sat together, drinking and chatting idly, quite leisurely.

But just as the atmosphere grew lively and the wine took hold, Bai Yuan suddenly appeared in Yuàn zhōng.

With a dark face and anger surging in his eyes, seeing this, Zhang Xiaohai, who had just set down his wine cup, grinned and said.

"Yo, what's wrong? Who pissed you off?"

"Who else could it be? That old geezer from Ultimate Bliss Palace."

"What's up? Can't handle it? Does he dare to make a move in the city?"

"No, not that—but that old coot said he specially brought juniors to visit, and with nothing to do he set up a platform in the city for the younger generation to spar."

"Oh."

"Quite a few disciples, hot-blooded and young, couldn't stand the taunts of Ultimate Bliss Palace's Young Palace Master, rushed up to fight one after another, and all lost."

That old guy from the Ultimate Bliss Palace is just here to cause trouble, deliberately making the Cooking King Immortal City lose face.

Right now, the disciples of the Cooking King Immortal City can neither go on stage nor stay off it.

If they go up, they can't win; if they don't, the others will have even more to say.

As the top hegemon of the Immortal Realm, this time the young palace master brought by that old fellow, although not the first young palace master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace, his strength is still not to be underestimated.

He hasn't reached the level of those top-tier Yāoniè of the Heavenly Family's young masters, but he's not far off; at the very least, these disciples of the Cooking King Immortal City can't handle him.

Already several core disciples of the Fire Hall have gone up to fight, without exception they were instantly killed and then severely humiliated.

There's nothing to be done—one side are spirit chefs, the other are orthodox cultivators; a difference in combat power is quite normal.

If we were comparing culinary skills, the Ultimate Bliss Palace would be completely crushed by the Cooking King Immortal City—that's the simple truth.

Seeing Bai Yuan's face full of anger, after hearing his account, Zhang Xiaohuai coldly laughed.

"I've long known this old thing wouldn't let it go easily; I'll go take a trip."

The Palace Master of Ultimate Bliss Palace, that old thing, is dead set on causing trouble; Bai Yuan and his two companions are indeed hard to deal with.

As they spoke, Zhang Xiaohuai stood up; seeing that, Ye Zhangqing also stood up, and Zhang Xiaohuai looked at him and said.

"Are you interested in going to see for yourself?"

"Disciple obeys the city lord's orders."

"Haha, fine, going to take a look is good too—these are all big shots of the Immortal Realm; getting to know their faces is no problem."

Speaking, Zhang Xiaohuai took Ye Zhangqing and directly disappeared in Yuàn zhōng, while Huang Lao sat steadily on the fishing platform, drinking his wine unhurriedly.

Anyway, with his cultivation level, if Ye Zhangqing encounters any danger, he can intervene in time.

In the main square of the Cooking King Immortal City, a crowd of people had gathered at this moment.

There were disciples of the Cooking King Immortal City, as well as many cultivators from the Immortal Realm, and people from all major powers.

And in the center of the square, a white jade platform had appeared at some point.

This platform is a Fairy Artifact; not only does it have formations around it for protection, preventing the aftershocks of battle from spreading and hurting those nearby, but its material is also hard, made entirely of white jade.

On the platform stood a young man, arrogantly upright, his gaze sweeping the surroundings, a look of disdain on his face as he spoke.

"What, the Cooking King Immortal City has no one left? No wonder they say your disciples are a bunch of trash—looks like the rumor is true."

"Like this: from now on, when your Cooking King Immortal City disciples walk the Immortal Realm and see our Ultimate Bliss Palace disciples, they should obediently step forward, bow, and call us senior brothers and sisters; then our disciples might go easy on you, haha."

Fuck..................

Faced with the mockery of the Ultimate Bliss Palace's young palace master, the many disciples of the Cooking King Immortal City below were grinding their teeth in anger.

Angry as they were, they had no recourse; already several senior brothers had gone up to fight earlier.

Without exception, they were all defeated instantly.

Their strength lacking, losing is losing, but each time after that Ultimate Bliss Palace young palace master wins, he goes all out to humiliate them—this is just too bullying.

This is clearly just looking for trouble.

But the Palace Master of Extreme Bliss Palace didn't intervene, saying it was a sparring match among the younger generation; his Cooking King Immortal City disciples are not weak—if we let the older generation act, wouldn't we be losing face for nothing?

Put bluntly, it's still about strength.

Just as the many disciples were fuming, their teeth itching with anger yet unable to do anything, a voice suddenly rang out in the arena.

"Old geezer, come on, come on, if you want to fight, let's fight—just the two of us."

With those words, Zhang Xiaohuai and Ye Zhangqing appeared on the stage; as they showed up, the many disciples below all felt delighted.

The City Lord and Ye Zhangqing Shī xiōng arrived.

Meanwhile, standing before the stage, an old man seated in a grand master's chair watched Zhang Xiaohuai appear; a flicker of coldness crossed his eyes, yet his expression stayed calm as he said with a cold smile.

"Zhang Daoist friend, are you sure we two should spar in this city? If we end up destroying your Cooking King Immortal City, wouldn't that be a crime?"

"You fucking............"

"I'm fine anyway, after all it's not my Extreme Bliss Palace."
