Chapter 2527: Everyone came?

Just as I was about to finally eat the Demon God ingredients I'd been longing for, someone interrupted me at this crucial moment.

Zhao Lao was furious inside; he gestured for Ye Zhangqing to ignore it and continue working, while he himself strode out the door.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw a sneaky figure looking around furtively.

He was one of the five Heavenly Officials traveling together.

Seeing him like that, Zhao Lao flared up in anger, cursing, 'Damn thing, ruining my plans.'

What are you doing here?

He stepped forward, stared coldly at the other, and spoke in an unfriendly tone. Hearing this, the Heavenly Official was startled, then seeing it was Zhao Lao, he couldn't help but grin.

Palace Master, you're here for an extra meal too?

Nonsense, I'm here on patrol to check for any danger.

Hearing that, Zhao Lao's face instantly darkened, and he snarled angrily.

This damn thing really can't speak; it doesn't understand any nice or nasty words.

But now isn't the time to argue with him; I'm still eager to taste those Demon God ingredients later.

Immediately, without waiting for a reply, Zhao Lao coldly said.

In the middle of the night, why aren't you on your own immortal vessel, running around? Get back quickly.

Palace Master, you're going too far. I won't mention the ingredient incident earlier, but now we've come to find Ye Zhangqing, and you're trying to stop us?

This time, the Heavenly Official didn't stay silent, but spoke with an innocent expression.

Having the ingredients taken was tolerable, but now they've prepared their own ingredients and come to find Ye Zhangqing, yet you still want to block them—really going too far.

Faced with the Heavenly Official's resentful look, Zhao Lao was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, regarding the previous incident, his actions were indeed not proper.

But is now the time to discuss this? Zhao Lao could only give a perfunctory reply.

If you keep this up, come tomorrow night; tonight I'm busy.

Then I also want a taste—just a bowl, not much.

Who would have thought the Heavenly Official had no intention of leaving; instead, he took the opportunity to make a demand.

As soon as those words were spoken, Zhao Lao flew into a rage on the spot.

You little brat, you're trying to negotiate terms with me?

This kid actually still wants to take advantage of him, without even checking at the Heavenly Palace; only Zhao's side gets to profit—who could take advantage of him? It's ridiculous.

But this time, facing Zhao Lao's fury, the Heavenly Official steeled himself and did not back down.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Lao glared at him with a dark face and spoke coldly.

Only one bowl, and this won't happen again.

Rest assured, Palace Master, I will.

Seeing Zhao Lao nod, the Heavenly Official then smiled and repeatedly nodded in agreement.

Getting a bowl of Demon God ingredients is already a good outcome; we're not greedy.

Immediately, the Heavenly Official followed Zhao Lao to the Fire Room. Seeing Zhao Lao bring someone back, Ye Zhangqing was still a bit puzzled.

Just now Zhao Lao's manner made it clear he was going to drive someone away, so why is he bringing a person back now?

This clingy fellow—later I'll give him a bowl to taste.

Hehe, Young Master Ye.

Hearing that, the Heavenly Official smiled and stepped forward to greet him, but his gaze toward the Demon God ingredients couldn't hide its excitement.

This is the Demon God ingredients—*gulp*—he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Seeing this, Zhao Lao beside him snapped irritably.

Look at your pathetic state—you haven't even done anything yet, and you're drooling here.

I know—haven't you eaten it before?

Hearing that, the Heavenly Official gave a simple, honest smile.

Before, I've fought many Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons of Demon God level, but I never imagined this could be eaten, let alone that it's such a delicacy.

Now I've finally seen it—if I weren't curious, that would be strange.

Seeing this, Zhao Lao curled his lip in disdain, then likewise looked with fiery eyes at Ye Zhangqing as he handled the ingredients.

I thought all we had to do was sit and wait to eat, but who would have thought that not long after settling down, another Heavenly Official quietly boarded Ye Zhangqing's Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel.

Feeling someone else boarding, Zhao Lao's face instantly darkened, and he spoke irritably.

You handle it.

Hearing that, the Heavenly Official beside him pointed at himself, looking doubtful.

Me???

Nonsense, if it's not you, then who? Figure out how to get rid of him.

This………………………

Thinking to himself that there was nothing he could do, but after all, you can't twist your arm against your thigh, the Heavenly Official eventually pushed the door and went out.

But after a quarter of an hour, he didn't return alone; behind him followed another Heavenly Official wearing a smile.

Seeing this guy actually bringing someone back, Zhao Lao was stunned, then flew into a great rage.

What are you doing? I told you to go and bring him back!

This………………… it's not Zhao Lao, I……………… I can't.

Hearing that, the Heavenly Official also looked aggrieved—what could he do? He also wanted to drive the person away, but the problem is he can't.

In the middle of the night, meeting on Ye Zhangqing's Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel, each knows even with their buttocks what they're here for.

It surely isn't just to stroll around, right?

He had originally intended to drop Zhao Lao's name to intimidate the other side, but he hadn't expected that upon hearing Zhao Lao was also present, this Heavenly Official would become even more excited.

What is Zhao Lao doing here at midnight? Demon God ingredients—then there's no way he's leaving.

Thus, the Heavenly Official refused to leave no matter what, and with no other option, he could only bring him back.

Of course, the main reason is that he has a small weakness in the other party's hands; otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

Anyway, the person has now come along, so the situation is just as it is.

The Heavenly Official gazed innocently at Zhao Lao; under his stare, Zhao Lao's face turned dark.

Damn it, what's the point of saying this now? More likely to fail than succeed.

In the end, he could only let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, since you've come, you may stay—but I have to say this first: each person may have only one bowl, and no one else may come. Understood?"

"Understood, Understood, Zhao Lao, rest assured—we will absolutely eat only one bowl, not a bite more."

"Hmm, that's good."

Seeing the two nod obediently, Zhao Lao finally stopped saying more.

Next, Ye Zhangqing focused on processing the Demon God ingredients, shutting out everything outside the window; how Zhao Lao and the others fared was their own business.

But as time passed, even if Ye Zhangqing wasn't interested in paying attention, he couldn't help noticing that the number of people inside the Fire Room kept growing.

Moreover, Zhao Lao's complexion grew darker and darker; sitting there, he felt like a suppressed volcano that could erupt at any moment—this was absurd.

He looked up and saw, wow, quite a crowd had come—those who should and shouldn't be here all seemed to have arrived.

And Zhao Lao, his face was as grim as could be; the Fire Room, which had been fairly spacious, now felt extraordinarily crowded.

Especially since nobody dared to crowd near Ye Zhangqing or the furious Zhao Lao, everyone could only huddle in a corner, making it even more cramped.
