Chapter 2262: What skills do you have?

They handed over all the sealing secret arts to Ye Zhangqing, and Tianlin also agreed with Miao Qianqian's words.

Having said that much, Ye Zhangqing did not refuse, took the jade tablet, and nodded.

"These extraterrestrial heavenly demons seem to be everywhere, so why are there hardly any rumors of them in the Immortal Realm?"

Speaking of extraterrestrial heavenly demons, Bai Hua Xianzi beside them asked curiously.

The several women also knew of extraterrestrial heavenly demons, after all they had encountered them in the Wuji Shanmai.

Hearing this, Tianlin replied.

"Extraterrestrial heavenly demons basically exist only among the few top powers of the Immortal Realm, and they remain sealed because they cannot be slain."

"Although the Heavenly Palace has always guarded them, over the years some inevitably slip through, and these escapees are basically the elite among extraterrestrial heavenly demons; without some real ability, one cannot break through the Heavenly Palace's defenses."

As for the matter of extraterrestrial heavenly demons, Tianlin merely gave a brief reply.

I don't know whether he doesn't want to say it or he himself knows little about it.

Regarding that, Bai Hua Xianzi didn't ask further; instead, Miao Qianqian quickly chatted enthusiastically with the several women.

This woman is indeed likable, seeming to get along with anyone.

A group of women chattered noisily to one side, while Ye Zhangqing and Tianlin were comparatively quiet.

Sinking his mind into the jade tablet, after scanning the sealing secret art once, Ye Zhangqing raised his head somewhat strangely.

"Brother Tian, is this what you said wasn't difficult?"

Although Ye Zhangqing is not versed in the sealing way, he hasn't eaten pork but has seen pigs run.

The sealing secret art that Tianlin gave, just the hand seals alone number ninety‑eighty‑one.

Such a quantity is extremely high, and its variations are endless—how could this be not difficult?

However, regarding this, Tianlin grinned and said.

"Hehe, for others it's naturally hard, with basically no chance to master it, but for Brother Ye it's indeed not difficult."

"Hah, you really think highly of me, so how much time do I have?"

"At most five days."

Ordinary cultivators wanting to learn this sealing secret art basically have no opportunity; their talent is capped.

But Ye Zhangqing only has five days; in five days he must master this sealing secret art.

Looking at Tianlin's smiling face, Ye Zhangqing retorted unhappily.

"I really thank you."

"Brother Ye, you should have confidence in yourself."

After they chatted a while longer, seeing that it was nearly mealtime, Tianlin grinningly said they should celebrate.

Seeing his demeanor, Ye Zhangqing understood what he meant, but he did not refuse.

Anyway, there are no outsiders, so casually making a few home‑cooked dishes is no trouble.

Seeing this, Tianlin's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, indicating he would help.

Immediately the two became busy; Miao Qianqian nearby, seeing this, also looked full of anticipation.

"Looks like we're in for a treat tonight."

Regarding Ye Zhangqing's culinary skill, Miao Qianqian had also heard of it; as the fifth Heavenly Pride demon, news of Ye Zhangqing had naturally spread far and wide.

His culinary skill is certainly like that; what makes Ye Zhangqing the talk of the world is his identity as the Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City.

Being the Young City Lord, he surely cannot be ignorant of culinary arts.

On the contrary, what's more surprising is Tianlin—seeing him help Ye Zhangqing, his movements are extremely practiced.

One who didn't know would think he was an old spirit chef, snatching up ingredients with ease, never hesitating.

With few people and the dishes not complicated, the two soon finished a full table of food.

Just on the pavilion upstairs in the courtyard, they ate, drank, and chatted leisurely.

Miao Qianqian was the only one who had never eaten Ye Zhangqing's dishes, and she kept praising them.

This flavor she had never tasted in the Western Regions; indeed the rumors were true.

This meal satisfied Miao Qianqian, and moreover she clung to Ye Zhangqing's side, insisting on living together.

Furthermore, Ye Zhangqing did not object, Bai Hua Xianzi and the several women also became familiar with Miao Qianqian, so Tianlin did not refuse.

Nobody else minds, so what am I to say?

As evening fell, Tianlin reminded Ye Zhangqing to quickly master that sealing secret art, after all, to continue the seal at least three Heavenly Pride demons are needed.

Previously the Heavenly Family would also invite one person, but this time, because Ye Zhangqing was present, they only taught Miao Qianqian.

I suppose his father also considered this, hence the arrangement.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing said it was difficult, yet he nodded and agreed.

That night Ye Zhangqing indeed did not disappoint Tianlin; he rested not at all, practicing the hand sealing secret art all night.

After a night of bitter cultivation, Ye Zhangqing finally managed to master it.

Having succeeded overnight, Ye Zhangqing gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, exhausted.

After washing up under Juying's service, upon exiting the Dong Fu he saw Miao Qianqian already in the courtyard.

Only seeing her barefoot standing on the spiritual lake in the courtyard, the crystal‑clear water made Miao Qianqian appear even more pure.

"Brother Ye has arrived."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing, she smiled, stepped forward, and instantly her figure reached the shore.

Again she made a sudden face; Ye Zhangqing retreated a step without changing expression, then once more provoked Miao Qianqian's displeasure.

"Ye Zhangqing, honestly, do you dislike me?"

"No, how could I."

"Then why did you step back?"

I don't like getting close to people; I still have things to do, Daoist friend Miao, sorry I can't keep you company.

I had already agreed with Tianlin yesterday; today I'll first get the Heavenly Family's Canteen up and running, after all this is something I previously promised, it would be bad to go back on my word.

Go directly to find the Heavenly Family's Grand Elder; Tianlin has already said hello, the Grand Elder will handle everything.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing about to leave, Miao Qianqian couldn't stay angry, and hurriedly followed after him.

Like a little follower, after walking out of the courtyard, seeing Miao Qianqian following beside him, Ye Zhangqing said helplessly.

"What are you following me for?"

"I'm not following you, I'm following Bai Hua Xianzi."

Bai Hua Xianzi and Shadowless, the two women traveling together, hearing this, Bai Hua Xianzi smiled and said nothing.

Ye Zhangqing also felt helpless, no longer entangled.

Just then, before the group had walked a few steps, a youth dressed in Heavenly Family disciple attire happened to meet them head-on.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing and the others come out of the courtyard, the youth seemed to think of something; not only did he not leave, but he actively came forward to meet them.

His gaze first swept over the Three Hundred Flowers Fairy Maidens; this action made Ye Zhangqing somewhat displeased.

This kid's look is somewhat unpleasant.

However, the other party didn't do anything excessive, so Ye Zhangqing didn't say much.

But before he could speak, the Heavenly Family youth finally fixed his gaze on Ye Zhangqing, speaking with a hint of arrogance.

"Are you Ye Zhangqing?"

"It's me."

"I heard you want to come to our Heavenly Family to set up a canteen, specifically responsible for our Heavenly Family's meals?"

"Right?"

Ye Zhangqing nodded.

"Just you? What ability do you have to dare open a canteen in my Heavenly Family? Do you know who the head chef of my Heavenly Family is?"
