Chapter 2274

Facing the death stare of his own father, the head of the Heavenly Family wore a look of helplessness, but in the end he still nodded.

He only said something with a strange look at the end.

"Dad, you came out of seclusion just for this?"

His own father's condition is something he knows best; bluntly put, he doesn't have many good days left.

Given that, coming out of seclusion—isn't that just asking for death?

You should know, his father's current condition is such that each breath he takes is one less.

As for that, the old family head glared, stroking his beard.

"You think I want to? It's not that I can come out of seclusion just because of this smell?"

Huh???

Having already known the full story, the old family head couldn't be bothered to continue nonsense with the Heavenly Family head, and immediately urged.

"Since you've already come out of seclusion, no matter what you say, you have to try this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon—damn it, I've fought my whole life and still didn't know this thing could be eaten."

"Dad, I still haven't finished things here."

"Screw that, eat first—do you want to watch your own father die?"

"I...................."

Without further ado, he directly pulled the Heavenly Family head and rushed straight to the Fire Room; although the Heavenly Family head felt helpless, he didn't resist, after all, he's the father.

The Grand Elder beside them, seeing this, obediently followed behind.

Rushing straight to the Fire Room, Ye Zhangqing's side was also almost ready.

There were nine dishes in total; seven had already come out of the pot, and they could almost start the feast right away.

The Heavenly Family ancestor and Huang Lao, among others, had already been drooling; this thing really looked good, indeed a top‑grade ingredient.

Everyone was already dazed by the aroma alone, let alone the Heavenly Family ancestor and the others, who simply watched dish after dish come out of the pot.

Being able to hold out until now already counts as them having strong willpower.

Just like Tianlin and the others, they'd already been driven out—just because this brat couldn't help wanting to sneak a bite just now.

Outside the courtyard, Tianlin paced back and forth anxiously when suddenly he felt something flash before his eyes.

"What the hell?"

He focused his gaze and saw three figures appear before him.

The Heavenly Family patriarch and the Grand Elder were fine, and Tianlin didn't find it odd, after all they all knew they were supposed to have a feast today.

But when he saw the person standing beside his own father, Tianlin froze, an involuntary gasp escaping his mouth.

"Grandfather?"

Tianlin didn't have a deep impression of his grandfather; he only remembered that his grandfather had once emerged from seclusion when he was young, they had spent a few days together, and then the old man went back into seclusion and fell into a deep sleep.

So seeing the old man startled him like this.

Nothing major has happened to the family lately—how could his grandfather suddenly come out of seclusion? Is he courting death?

Faced with the stunned Tianlin, the old man broke into a grin.

"Yo, my grandson's all grown up now—come over and let Grandfather take a look."

"Huh???"

It truly showed the affection between generations to the fullest, but Tianlin hadn't snapped out of it yet, didn't know what to do, and just stood there dazed.

But just then, a furious shout came.

"Unfilial son, how dare you come out? Are you courting death?"

Following the sound, he saw the Heavenly Family forefather carrying a dish out of the Fire Room; upon seeing that old coot, he immediately blew his top.

Faced with the Heavenly Family forefather's angry shout, the old man shrank his neck and spoke softly.

"Dad."

"I'm asking you a question."

"I was dazed by the aroma."

In front of his own father, the Heavenly Family patriarch dared not conceal anything, answering honestly, only to earn the forefather's contempt.

"With such meager ambition, no wonder you can barely hold onto your life."

While scolding, he carried the dish to the table in the Yuàn zhōng, while the patriarch stared fixedly at the plate, curious.

This color, this aroma—you could tell without eating that it was absolutely top-notch mortal fare.

His saliva practically gushed out; seeing the unfilial son's eyes light up, the Heavenly Family forefather roughly pulled him away and snapped.

"Your saliva's about to drip into the plate—step aside."

The dishes aren't even all served yet—now isn't the time to start eating.

Not long after, Huang Lao also came out carrying a dish; the two top-tier Immortal Realm beings seemed to have become waiters at a restaurant, bustling about with great delight.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Family patriarch, Huang Lao froze for a moment, recalling that it had been years since he'd last seen this brat.

Although his appearance made the Heavenly Family patriarch look much older than Huang Lao, in Huang Lao's eyes he was still just a junior.

After all, Huang Lao belonged to the same generation as his father.

Huang Lao chuckled, didn't think much, and blurted out.

"You brat, you're not dead yet?"

"Huh???"

As soon as those words left his mouth, the Heavenly Family patriarch stared, then gave Huang Lao a resentful look and said.

"Do you really wish I were dead so badly?"

"Haha, long time no see—I thought you were dead."

"You................"

Heavenly Family old family head didn't want to speak much, his attention shifted again to the table, and seeing plate after plate of dishes, the craving worms in people's bellies called out non-stop.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long; as the last dish came out of the pot, Ye Zhangqing also walked out of the Fire Room.

Seeing Yuàn zhōng with so many more people, he was slightly startled, then promptly greeted everyone to take a seat.

After being seated, the Heavenly Family old ancestor, displeased, pointed at the old family head and introduced.

"Young Friend Ye, this is my son; you haven't met him before."

Huh???

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing showed a strange expression as he clasped his hands in salute; his gaze then swept over the four Heavenly Family old ancestors.

So this is four generations living together?

But this Heavenly Family old family head is also overly old; those who don't know might mistake him for the Heavenly Family old ancestor.

However, at this moment, everyone's attention is clearly not on that; each one is staring intently at the dishes on the table.

The chopsticks in their hands were already picked up; they were ready, waiting for Ye Zhangqing to say 'dig in' before they would start eating.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing laughed and said.

"Everyone, no need to be polite; let's start eating."

Upon saying that, those at the table were no longer polite, especially Tianlin, who directly snatched a chopstick-full in a flash.

Ye Zhangqing, however, was neither hurried nor slow; he mainly wanted to taste how the flavor was.

He picked up a chopstick-full; the taste was indeed better than that of Immortal Beast ingredients and Demon Beast ingredients.

With the same cooking skill, the flavor of this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is at least over thirty percent better than that of Immortal Beast ingredients.

This is an extremely terrifying improvement, after all, Immortal Beast ingredients are already the finest ingredients one can find in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, after the previous battle at Wuji Shanmai, the beast clan suffered heavy casualties, with Immortal Beasts and Demon Beasts left with only a tiny fraction of their populations.

The scarcity led to prices rising due to rarity; in just a short time, now on the Immortal Realm market, the prices of Immortal Beast ingredients and Demon Beast ingredients have already surged greatly.

Even ordinary beast clan ingredients have already increased in price by more than three times, and prices are expected to rise further in the future.

But now we have this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient.............
