Chapter 2518

Earlier, when the Heavenly Family said how delicious the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients were, everyone in Wushen Palace was already full of anticipation.

I had thought it would still take some time before I could taste that legendary delicacy.

I never expected there would be an unexpected joy—upon arriving at Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, without having done anything yet, I could already eat it.

This sudden good news naturally made everyone present cheer and jump for joy.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhangqing, who was at Heavenly Heaven Restaurant, was discussing tomorrow's banquet with the restaurant's manager.

"So the number of people might be large, probably requiring a buyout—take a look at the price."

Ye Zhangqing spoke, but upon hearing this, the manager of Heavenly Heaven Restaurant refused outright without even thinking.

"Teacher, what are you saying? For you to come to my restaurant and hold a banquet is an honor; how could I possibly take your money? Teacher, just make the arrangements for tomorrow, and I will definitely see to it."

During this period, the manager of Heavenly Heaven Restaurant has also been learning from Ye Zhangqing how to cook Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

He has almost mastered it, and has long considered himself a student.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì has completely won him over.

These words now come straight from his heart, absolutely without a hint of falsehood.

Ye Zhangqing initially felt a bit embarrassed, after all, Heavenly Heaven Restaurant is the finest establishment in Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

Its daily takings are no small sum; buying out the restaurant for a meal would entail a considerable loss.

Not taking any money would really be hard to justify.

But no matter what Ye Zhangqing said, the manager of Heavenly Heaven Restaurant simply refused, unwilling to accept his money no matter what.

In the end, Ye Zhangqing could only say helplessly.

"Alright, then please take the trouble."

"Teacher, you flatter me; for a student to be valued by you is an honor."

The manager of Heavenly Heaven Restaurant still hoped to continue learning beside Ye Zhangqing, and ideally to mooch a few more meals, which would be perfect.

Even a little bit that leaks from the teacher's Chúyì would be enough for him to eat.

The next day, early in the morning, the Immortal Chefs of Cooking King Immortal City and Immortal City Beyond the Heavens all gathered early at Heavenly Heaven Restaurant to prepare.

Most of them came of their own accord.

Originally Ye Zhangqing only wanted the people from Cooking King Immortal City to come, but these Immortal Chefs from Immortal City Beyond the Heavens each considered themselves students, saying that since the teacher was holding a banquet, how could they not come to help?

Moreover, these people had previously studied under Ye Zhangqing for a while, and now they can handle Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients on their own.

On the other hand, the Immortal Chefs of Cooking King Immortal City had not studied before, so they still need Ye Zhangqing to teach them.

With so many Immortal Chefs helping, Ye Zhangqing felt relieved; he only needed to oversee the final step.

They had been busy since early morning.

After all, this time the Heavenly Family and the people of Wushen Palace had rushed from the Immortal Realm to Beyond the Heavens to assist, so Ye Zhangqing naturally would not be stingy.

The quantity of prepared ingredients was absolutely sufficient, letting everyone eat their fill in one sitting.

Since others are lending a hand, I cannot afford to slip up.

And during the banquet preparations, Heaven Beyond Heaven is no longer open for business.

Some cultivators who had come to Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant for a quick bite, upon hearing that the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven had been bought out today, were first startled, then annoyed.

"A buyout? You're joking—I've lived in Immortal City Beyond the Heavens for so many years and have never heard of Heaven Beyond Heaven being able to be bought out."

"Just because I haven't heard of it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist now."

The steward, who had long received the manager's order, calmly replied.

Anyway, today Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant will not receive any guests.

Seeing this, many cultivators shouted.

"What is the price for buying out Heaven Beyond Heaven?"

"Priceless."

"If it's priceless, how can it be bought out today?"

"You're bullying us, right? We asked the price for the buyout, and you said it's priceless—so who is the one buying it out today?"

"Your Heaven Beyond Heaven's discriminatory treatment is too obvious."

Just as many cultivators were displeased, the manager of Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant stepped forward.

Faced with the manager, the many cultivators who had originally wanted to scold him all fell silent at once.

They looked at him with wary eyes.

The manager of Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant appears to be merely an Immortal Chef in charge of a small eatery.

But in fact, his position in the Heavenly Palace is equivalent to that of an ordinary heavenly official, without a doubt.

Therefore, ordinary people dare not act rashly toward the manager.

"What do you want to do? Force your way into my Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant?"

"Manager, you're joking; we're not after that—we're just curious when Heaven Beyond Heaven introduced its buyout service."

"There is no such service."

"None?"

The manager replied lightly, but as soon as he said that, everyone present was dumbfounded again—'No such service? Then what are you doing now? Are you taking us for fools?'

His face sank slightly, and without waiting for a reply, the manager of Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant continued.

"Today my teacher is holding a banquet, so Heavenly Heaven Restaurant is not receiving guests; you can just consider it the restaurant taking a day off—it's that simple."

"Huh???"

"Teacher?" At that moment, hearing this, the many cultivators were puzzled—where did the manager of Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant get a teacher from?

But since the other party had said so, they naturally had nothing more to say and could only leave resentfully.

After all, Heaven Beyond Heaven Restaurant is an asset of the Heavenly Palace; they wouldn't dare to force their way in even if given a hundred courages.

After dealing with these diners, waiting until evening, the Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace people came to the restaurant one after another.

The maids attended respectfully, and the restaurant managers were busy coordinating the overall situation.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another; looking at the familiar extraterrestrial heavenly demon ingredients, and the amount that was previously unimaginable.

The Heavenly Family people's eyes turned red; they never imagined there would be such a prosperous time.

This time Ye Zhangqing prepared the amount, at least twice as much as before.

When have the Heavenly Family people ever seen such prosperity?

"This time coming to Beyond the Heavens was right."

"Who would say it isn't?"

Just waiting for Ye Zhangqing to appear, then we'll start eating.

A table of ten people, in a short while already had ten dishes set up; seeing more dishes continuously being served, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

"More?"

"Reporting to sir, there are still four dishes."

Hearing this, the maid respectfully replied; upon this, the Heavenly Family Elder who spoke had his mouth corners split back to his ears.

Repeatedly saying good, this abundance is good.

When the dishes were all ready, Ye Zhangqing also walked out of the Fire Room; this banquet was originally to thank everyone for coming from the Immortal Realm to lend strong assistance.

Ye Zhangqing naturally had to show himself in person.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing, everyone's gazes turned toward him, all locked onto him.

The Heavenly Family people were excited and moved, while most of the Wushen Palace people were more curious.
