Chapter 2476

Seeing Tianlin's relaxed expression, He Muqin fell into thought.

The three-meter-long ze fish was already an old fish; catching it before would have required great effort and still had a low success rate.

But as for him, he just casually grabbed it and got it?

Ignoring He Muqin's strange expression, he simply glanced at the ze fish in his hand, and Tianlin had already turned his head to ask Ye Changqing.

"Can this be used as food?"

"Yes, but its grade is average, far inferior to that extraterritorial demon."

Upon hearing that, Ye Changqing nodded in reply.

The system had just given a hint: this ze fish is indeed an ingredient, and it's the first time she's encountered it as an ingredient, though its grade is low, only ordinary.

Compared to top-tier ingredients like the extraterritorial demon, there's simply no comparison.

Hearing that, Tianlin didn't mind; instead, he said somewhat eagerly.

"Why not give it a try?"

Since we've never eaten it, let's first taste the flavor; upon that, Ye Changqing nodded and let Tianlin go start a fire.

Let's grill the fish and eat.

Tianlin happily went to start the fire, while Ye Changqing leisurely came to the water's edge and began preparing the ze fish.

Miao Qianqian was busy building the grill, leaving only He Muqin and Ah Huang standing there, dazed.

Ah Huang had a clueless, innocent look, while He Muqin stared wide-eyed, as if seeing a ghost.

What had she just heard? This, this, this—are they eating the extraterritorial demon?

As someone born outside the heavens, He Muqin was naturally familiar with the extraterritorial demon.

The Heavenly Palace, and indeed the entire immortal realm's number one arch-enemy, has also been the extraterrestrial race that has fought the Heavenly Palace the most over the years.

Ferocious, cruel, bloodthirsty—whenever the extraterritorial demon is mentioned, virtually everyone outside feels heavy-hearted and dare not be the slightest bit careless.

Even He Muqin's grandfather, a heavenly official and the current strongest, dare not show the slightest contempt.

But in the eyes of Ye Changqing and his two companions, this extraterritorial demon is food? And it seems they've already eaten it.

Actually line 21 is: "In Ye Changqing's trio's eyes, this extraterritorial demon is food? And it seems they've already eaten it."

But in the eyes of Ye Changqing's trio, this extraterritorial demon is food? And it seems they've already eaten it.

Is the immortal realm really that fierce? They even eat extraterritorial demons?

Such a simple conversation directly left He Muqin dazed, his head buzzing.

Until Tianlin lit the fire, Miao Qianqian finished building the grill, and Ye Changqing prepared the ze fish, only then did she slowly come to her senses.

Afterward, not daring to disturb the busy Ye Changqing, she could only timidly approach Miao Qianqian, who was drooling, and whisper.

"Miao Daoist, have you eaten extraterritorial demon before?"

"Slurp…………………"

Upon hearing that, Miao Qianqian turned her head, lips glistening with saliva, under He Muqin's stunned gaze, she sucked it back in, then spoke.

"I have eaten it; the taste is indeed top-notch, I still can't forget it, only regretting that there was so little."

Huh?

This is human speech? I can't understand it.

Upon hearing that, He Muqin stood frozen, for a moment not knowing how to respond; he couldn't make sense of what was said.

Finally, he blurted out instinctively.

"No, can the extraterritorial demon be eaten?"

She had never thought that the extraterritorial demon could be edible, that it could be considered an ingredient.

But despite He Muqin's shock, Miao Qianqian said calmly.

"Why couldn't it be eaten? The taste is great, though mainly it's because Brother Ye's cooking skills are superb; others would probably not be able to make such a delicious dish."

Huh?

"Am I talking about a person's issue? Or is it the extraterritorial demon itself that's the problem?"

However, before He Muqin could finish speaking, a fragrance already began to waft through the air.

It quickly reached their noses; at that moment, Miao Qianqian's saliva flowed uncontrollably, and without even glancing at He Muqin beside her, she took a few steps to the grill, eyes shining as she looked at the ze fish on the grill, murmuring.

"Really fragrant."

Even the bewildered He Muqin, under that aroma, murmured.

"What a nice smell."

As for Ah Huang beside him, he drooled all over the ground, his eyes never leaving the grilled fish.

Grilling the fish isn't troublesome; for Ye Changqing, it's simple.

Not long after, it was ready; Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, eager, immediately dug in, each tearing off a large piece of fish meat and starting to eat.

Even Ye Changqing tried a piece.

The meat is firmer than ordinary fish, and not bad.

The three ate to their satisfaction; Tianlin and Miao Qianqian even devoured theirs voraciously.

After eating a piece of fish meat, Ye Changqing turned his head and saw He Muqin still drooling nearby, hesitating whether to step forward.

And Ah Huang, who could no longer hold back, laughed.

"Won't you come try some?"

Huh?

"I………………… can we?"

Upon hearing that, He Muqin felt for a moment that it was unreal; could he and Ah Huang really eat such a delicacy?

After all, the fish was caught by Tianlin, the fire lit by Tianlin, the grill built by Miao Qianqian, and the fish cooked by Ye Changqing.

And she had only just met the three of them; even though she had been dying of hunger earlier, she had restrained herself from stepping forward.

First meeting, this is not good.

However, hearing Ye Zhangqing say this at this moment, his eyes instantly flashed with light.

On the other hand, Ye Zhangqing, facing the clueless He Muqin, said without a care.

"It's just an ordinary grilled fish; what's wrong with that? After eating it, we can catch another."

"Huh??? Listen, is that even human speech?"

He Muqin was already numb, but at this moment she couldn't bother with these things; since Ye Zhangqing had already invited her, what more was there to say?

She immediately stepped forward, tore off a piece of fish meat and began eating.

After one bite, He Muqin was dumbfounded; the flavor was simply indescribable.

Just two words: delicious.

As for A Huang, Ye Zhangqing also smiled and tore off a piece of fish meat to give it.

"It's a Da Jin Mao, after all—I liked it in my past life too; a warm-hearted guy among dogs, and it feels great to pet."

I never expected to see one here in Beyond the Heavens; given the love for the house and its crow, I naturally couldn't resist teasing it a bit, and as for some food, that's hardly anything.

Here with Ye Zhangqing, A Huang is no Heaven‑swallowing dog; if you say it's a Da Jin Mao, then it is a Da Jin Mao, nothing else.

"Even the feel is the same."

Gulping down the piece of fish meat whole, A Huang was moved to tears, though the tears flowed from the corners of its mouth.

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's "kneading and twisting", the dog cooperated to the utmost, offering no resistance whatsoever, fawning endlessly.

"Still want to eat?"

While rubbing A Huang's head, the feel is exactly the same—how can you still say you're not a Da Jin Mao?

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, A Huang's dog head bobbed, leaving an afterimage.

"Woef……"

"Haha, same hunger, don't worry, this grilled fish will be plenty."

Saying this, Ye Zhangqing glanced at the already scant mudfish, then simply threw the whole thing to A Huang.

I never expected Ye Zhangqing to be so generous; A Huang even had the thought of betrayal.

Having become a Shòuchǒng, it certainly needed to follow a master with a future.

And who had a future? At this very moment, in A Huang's dog's eyes, Ye Zhangqing was the one with the most future.
