Chapter 2195: and ===GLOSSARY===

「Supreme Sect, Supreme Sect spare my life, I... I am a registered spirit chef of the Cooking King Immortal City, Supreme Sect cannot kill me. 」

But need to keep quotes? The line includes 「」. We could keep them but translate inside. Safer to keep the quotes but with English inside? The instruction: translate faithfully, not add. The quotes are punctuation; we can keep them. So output: 【1】 「Senior sect, senior sect spare my life, I... I am a registered spirit chef of the Cooking King Immortal City, senior sect cannot kill me. 」 But the quotes are Chinese style; we could keep them. However, they said use glossary names exactly; punctuation not specified. I'll keep the Chinese quotes as they are part of the line. But the translation inside should be English. Let's do that.

His cultivation sealed, seeing that he was about to be forcibly dragged away by disciples, He Fu shouted in panic.

Finally, even the Cooking King Immortal City was brought up.

As the proprietor who founded Cuiyunju himself, He Fu was naturally a genuine spirit chef, and moreover a saint‑level spirit chef.

In his early years, he indeed went to the Cooking King Immortal City to study, and was registered there.

This is easy to understand; for the spirit chefs and immortal chefs of the whole Immortal Realm, the Cooking King Immortal City is more like an alliance, everyone huddling together for warmth.

But still, that saying is useless against Ye Zhangqing.

If it were someone else, killing He Fu would likely provoke the Cooking King Immortal City to pursue the matter, after all he is a registered spirit chef of the Cooking King Immortal City and naturally under its protection.

But don't forget, Ye Zhangqing is also a person of the Cooking King Immortal City, and moreover its Young City Lord.

In terms of status, he is far above He Fu; killing him requires no scruples at all.

So upon hearing He Fu's words, Ye Zhangqing turned his head to look at him, took out a token expressionlessly, and said.

「Do you recognize this token? 」

「This... is the Young City Lord's token, how... 」

「Drag him away. 」

Upon seeing the Young City Lord's token, He Fu's face changed drastically, but before he could recover, the disciple beside him, hearing the order, dragged him away without hesitation.

He Fu had long resided in Wuji Xiancheng, knowing little of the changes in the Cooking King Immortal City, let alone having seen Ye Zhangqing.

So naturally, he had not recognized Ye Zhangqing's identity before.

All those people were taken away, under Zhang Heping's leadership, and were brought to beneath the street archway according to Ye Zhangqing's orders.

Including Zhao Guai zi and them, as well as those people earlier at the city gate.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators, and quite a few people gathered around.

These people were basically those doing business along the street, running a small shop, some simply a stall.

Recently Wuji Xiancheng has been in chaotic disorder; they can be said to be the most suffering group.

After all, being powerless and influence‑less, they are like meat on the chopping block; facing the various groups' plunder and extortion, they can only endure, gritting their teeth.

There's no way; in a situation without rules, being powerless and influence‑less means being oppressed.

If they dare to resist, they'll likely end up dead in the street the next day.

Seeing that the crowd had roughly gathered, Zhang Heping also spoke up.

「Everyone, I am Zhang Heping, a disciple of the Dao One Immortal Sect; you all know these people, who in Wuji Xiancheng plunder and act lawlessly, disregarding human life. 」

「Today, acting on the sect elder's order, I will execute them on the spot to warn others; those previously harmed by these people can later come to my Dao One Immortal Sect's station to receive compensation............ 」

Zhang Heping's words immediately won the crowd's cheers.

Of course, mainly because they heard there would be compensation.

However, seeing He Fu, Zhao Guai zi and the others being executed before the crowd, their bodies and spirits annihilated, many still couldn't help clapping and shouting approval.

Their eyes were full of delighted feeling.

Ye Zhangqing's move was indeed gratifying to the people, and also led many to approve of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

After all, for most low‑level cultivators, what they desire is a stable and peaceful environment.

Rather than that chaotic, cannibalistic world.

The Dao One Immortal Sect stepping forward to reestablish rules, and appearing fair enough, is already good news for most low‑level cultivators.

At least it allows them to make a living steadily in the city.

Ye Zhangqing did not show himself; these matters can be left to Zhang Heping to handle.

At this moment, Ye Zhangqing brought Bai Hua Xianzi and several girls to Cuiyunju.

This Cuiyunju is indeed one of the top three large taverns in Wuji Xiancheng.

Not to mention its huge footprint, its decorations in every aspect are extremely elaborate.

Moreover....................

「What are you looking at? 」

From the front courtyard all the way to the rear, Ye Zhangqing saw the beauties previously kept by Cuiyunju.

As a tavern of such scale, how could it lack other items?

As the saying goes, wine and lust go hand in hand; with fine wine and dishes, how could there be no companions?

Moreover, it is said that the beauties of Cuiyunju were all personally evaluated by He Fu.

Not only must they be stunningly beautiful, but they also need extraordinary talent, and after being selected they must undergo at least a year of study.

Only after passing the layered examinations can they officially remain.

Of course, being able to stay in Cuiyunju, these beauties' gains are naturally not small.

Putting it this way, in Cuiyunju the monthly Xiūliàn resources one can obtain are certainly no less than those of the inner disciples of the great sects of the Immortal Realm, even the personal disciples.

After all, most people who come to Wuji Xiancheng do so with a reckless mindset.

Either they strive for a great opportunity, thereafter not necessarily soaring to great heights but still gaining abundantly.

Or they lose their lives in the Wuji Shanmai, in the jaws of demonic beasts.

Precisely for this reason, most cultivators who come to Wuji Xiancheng are willing to spend money.

After all, no one knows if they will have a life to return, so they must enjoy themselves.

Furthermore, even if they return successfully, they will surely have gains, which must be celebrated.

Therefore, within Wuji Xiancheng, taverns have many Gōulán, and almost every one does booming business.

Not to mention places like Cuiyunju, which rank among the top taverns in the whole Wuji Xiancheng.

These beauties sell their art, not their bodies; even so, they still make a fortune.

Even because of this rule, it further aroused the customers' desire to spend; people, after all, like cleanliness.

It must be said, this He Fu is a person who understands business.

"This place is not bad."

Looking at the warblers and swallows before him, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh and sigh.

But just as his words fell, a wistful voice came from beside him.

"Husband, what's not good about it?"

The several maidens of Bai Hua Xianzi all stared at Ye Zhangqing with inexplicable looks; the expression in their eyes already said it all.

Just now when speaking to him, it was as if they hadn't heard at all; their eyes practically wanted to grow onto his body.

You're still wearing a sighing expression; what are you sighing for? Can this crowd of vulgar, powdered commoners compare to them?

Jealousy welled up in his heart unbidden, and Ye Zhangqing also unconsciously felt a chill down his back; turning his head, he saw the resentful gazes of the several maidens of Bai Hua Xianzi.

He couldn't help but stare, a murmur in his heart: "How could I not hold back and blurt out what's on my mind? This is practically courting death!"

"I didn't mean it that way."

He smiled as he explained, but unfortunately, the several maidens weren't so easily fooled; though they seemed to show a sweet smile, their voices were ice-cold.

"What does that mean, husband?"
