Chapter 2653: Above the Strongest

The strength gap was so great, and on top of that, everyone had been misled into confusion, so the Elder Clan Chief naturally relaxed a lot.

Mainly, Ye Zhangqing and his group are just too weak.

Even those two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials, in the Elder Clan Chief's eyes, are nothing more than something he could suppress with a backhand.

After all, his strength has long surpassed the Human Race's Present Era's Strongest.

The Elder Clan Chief was observing everyone's strength, and everyone was naturally also secretly sizing up the Elder Clan Chief.

Especially the two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials, their mood at this moment can be described as a mix of feelings.

Because the two of them simply couldn't see through the Elder Clan Chief's cultivation level, but from him they could feel a deep-seated palpitation.

It's just like the feeling a wild beast has when encountering its natural enemy.

The strength difference is too extreme, the gap is too huge.

After confirming that the others posed no threat, the Elder Clan Chief's attitude also became much more amiable.

Although he still had no intention of letting them leave, he also had no further plans.

You stay here properly for now; we'll talk about other matters later.

He stood up and spoke; finally, he inadvertently caught sight of that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and facing its pitiful gaze, the Elder Clan Chief casually added a line.

You continue to be responsible for taking care of them.

Huh???

I thought the Elder Clan Chief would say something, but I never expected him to tell him to keep staying; this is absurd.

In an instant, that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon felt only heart like dead ashes.

Is it not even as good as the Human Race?

But the Elder Clan Chief didn't wait for its reply at all, and directly led the people away.

It can be considered temporarily safe, and moreover, after learning so many secrets, the others currently have no intention of leaving.

After all, according to that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, even in the Barbarian God Tribe's Shenjie, there are dangers.

For the Barbarian God Tribe perhaps it's nothing, but given the others' strength, many dangers in this realm are enough to be fatal.

Put bluntly, that just means you're too weak.

When saying that, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon unconsciously revealed a hint of contempt.

But as expected, the next second they were greeted with a beating from the crowd.

The situation is unclear, you bastard, do you still dare to look down on us?

But the others still took those words to heart; since that's the case, let's stay here temporarily and then make plans.

Moreover, there are still many things the others want to learn more about, and this Barbarian God Tribe settlement is undoubtedly the best choice for now.

Of course, even if the others wanted to leave, it would probably be difficult without the Elder Clan Chief's nod.

Conditions all considered, this settlement at least treats the others as ordinary guests.

They even sent an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to attend to them.

But at noon the next day, that woman from yesterday came and took Ye Zhangqing away.

They said the Clan Chief had heard that Ye Zhangqing had superb cooking skills, and they all wanted to try it.

Ye Zhangqing hesitated not at all, and simply nodded and followed the woman away.

For Ye Zhangqing, this is an opportunity.

He was still brought to yesterday's courtyard; this Barbarian God Tribe settlement seems to have only this one Fire Room.

Normally, everyone in the tribe comes here to eat.

When Ye Zhangqing arrived, the Elder Clan Chief and the gathered tribal men were already assembled here.

Originally idly chatting, as Ye Zhangqing entered the Yuàn zhōng, everyone turned curious gazes toward him.

They gathered here today, wasn't it because the woman's family summoned them?

They said that among this group of Human Race, there's a kid whose cooking skills are simply heaven-defying.

Regardless, being praised to the heavens sparked their interest, and they wanted to give it a try.

The Elder Clan Chief also turned his gaze to Ye Zhangqing, and for the first time showed a smile as he spoke.

You brat, your name is Ye Zhangqing.

Beside him, another Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon looked at Ye Zhangqing with a complex expression and hurriedly translated.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded.

Exactly.

I heard your cooking skills are not bad, the food you make is extremely delicious; she's been praising you to the heavens, today show us a hand.

Facing the Elder Clan Chief's words, that woman broke into a grin.

Clan Chief, rest assured, I'm not boasting.

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Ye Zhangqing.

Do it well; if the Clan Chief is pleased, you'll definitely get your share of benefits.

After the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's translation, Ye Zhangqing nodded.

Junior will certainly do his best.

Now it's natural to want to win over these Barbarian God Tribe people, so even if the woman doesn't say so, Ye Zhangqing will surely bring out his true skills.

After all, this concerns the others' future livelihood and whether they can leave this realm alive.

After saying just a couple of sentences, the Elder Clan Chief waved his hand to signal Ye Zhangqing to begin.

Ye Zhangqing, upon hearing that, walked into the Fire Room by himself and began to busy himself.

Under these circumstances, naturally no one is there to lend him a hand, but this is no big deal for Ye Zhangqing.

After all, it's only about a hundred people eating.

They are exactly the group of tribal strongmen who previously went out with the Elder Clan Chief to look for them.

Their numbers are few; for Ye Zhangqing, that is completely sufficient, not exactly busy.

This time Ye Zhangqing doesn't intend to just throw together a simple bowl of noodles to get by; instead, he wants to truly prepare a full table of dishes.

With just one meal, he will directly have the Elder Clan Chief and the others under his control.

Therefore, the ingredients Ye Zhangqing selects are also not stingy.

Sea God ingredients, Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients, and all kinds of supreme and top-tier ingredients are all used.

Ye Zhangqing is busy in the Fire Room; outside, the Elder Clan Chief and others also start talking about everyone's affairs.

Someone spoke up.

"Clan Chief, since we're not killing these outsiders, we might as well drive them away; keeping them means we still have to take care of them."

Someone suggested directly driving Ye Zhangqing and the others away; as long as they pose no danger to the tribe, it doesn't matter where they go, alive or dead, it's none of our business.

In response, the Elder Chief replied lightly.

"I have some things I want to learn from them; let's keep them for now, and we'll talk after I finish asking."

Once the Clan Chief had spoken, the others had nothing more to say.

As they were speaking, a rich aroma slowly began to waft out from the Fire Room.

As soon as the aroma appeared, it quickly attracted everyone; each burly, big-built man couldn't help but wrinkle his nose and take several big sniffs of the fragrance.

"How fragrant! Is this the delicacy made by that kid?"

"How come I smell it as even more fragrant than the Fire Spirit Chicken?"

"I feel the same way; could it be that this kid's Chúyì is really that good?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in the Yuàn zhōng became displeased and immediately put her hands on her hips and shouted.

"Do you think I'm lying to you? We've actually eaten it before; otherwise, do you think I'd dare say this? A bunch of clueless things."

"Yes, yes, yes, what the sister-in-law said is naturally true; we wouldn't dare doubt it, but this aroma is truly overpowering—I'm hearing it for the first time, I misspoke earlier."

"Hmph, after you taste it yourselves later, you'll know whether I'm telling the truth."

The woman let out an annoyed cold snort.
