Now that Ye’er has returned, they’ve finally enjoyed some wealth and comfort—but their vision and understanding have hardly improved at all. Forgive the embarrassment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she turned to Yun Ye and said seriously, “Since a distinguished guest has come to our door, how could we be so careless? You should have informed old me ahead of time so I could have welcomed the guest myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the original novel, Lin Yu had already taken a liking to this elderly Yun grandmother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now hearing her words, he couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. “Madam, you jest. I am of the same generation as my junior brother; it is proper that I visit you with him—not for you, a senior, to entertain your juniors…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not the same! Not the same!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother stubbornly shook her head, gazing lovingly at Yun Ye. “This child lost his parents young. The old immortal took him in, treated him as his own, cared for him deeply, raised him plump and healthy, and even took him along to teach him all his arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now at sixteen, Ye’er has never known hardship. Such great kindness and virtue—no amount of gratitude is too much. Even if old me bowed my head for three days and three nights, it would still be justified!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, the grandmother’s nose grew damp, her eyes reddened, tears welled up—and she truly began to rise as if to kneel and kowtow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Yu and Yun Ye both startled. The latter quickly stepped forward to support the grandmother, smiling wryly. “Grandma, haven’t I told you? My master is a transcendent hermit who never clings to formalities and despises bowing and kowtowing. Why are you doing this…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, Madam!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu also smiled. “Even if you must thank someone, it should be my junior brother’s master—not me. You’re bowing to the wrong person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother froze, looking at Lin Yu with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You and Ye’er… are not disciples of the same master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct!” Lin Yu smiled. “Xiao Yaozi is my uncle. As for my own master’s name, I beg your pardon—I dare not reveal it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the old immortal wasn’t just one person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling Yun Ye’s recent periods of seclusion, the grandmother fell into thought, a surge of joy rising in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang’an was the capital of the Great Tang, beneath the Son of Heaven’s gaze. Here, it wasn’t fear of having too great a background—it was fear of having none at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Yun family’s power and wealth now rested entirely on Yun Ye’s shoulders; if Yun Ye fell, the whole clan would be doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother had long worried about this—but now, from Lin Yu’s few words, she realized her grandson’s sect was far more than just a single reclusive immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if disaster came, Yun Ye still had a hidden escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization filled the grandmother with immense joy, and her attitude toward Lin Yu grew even warmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye helped the grandmother sit down, beaming. “My senior brother’s visit is a great joy for the Yun household. I plan to cook a fine meal myself to welcome him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother nodded with satisfaction. “Of course, of course…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye released his hold and continued smiling. “Once the food is ready, I’ll call in a few aunts and the maids. We’ll shut the doors and enjoy a proper family feast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the grandmother’s smile remained, but a flicker of concern passed through her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of respect for the group members, Lin Yu did not probe their thoughts—but he still caught that hint of unease. As they walked toward the kitchen, he asked softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam doesn’t seem eager for you to introduce me to your female relatives…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Normal!” Yun Ye glanced at Lin Yu. “What else can you expect? Look at your looks—so noble, so ethereal. If I were you, I wouldn’t want my sisters to see you either, lest they fall for you and grow too picky for any future husband!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Yu’s expression darken, Yun Ye chuckled, then sighed. “The old lady holds traditional views. To her, our relationship is the family’s highest secret.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could, she wouldn’t even let the managing aunts know you exist—let alone the maids!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, I know Grandma well. She knows priorities. Her personal concerns mean nothing compared to the opinion of a distinguished guest like you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled. “I suspected as much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the two arrived at the Yun family’s kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat cook, seeing the handsome Lin Yu, immediately lit up with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could awkwardly approach, Yun Ye shooed her out of the kitchen, leaving her with a pouty expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this alone, it looked like a scene of a tyrannical marquis bullying a cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, in this era, which servant or cook would dare act so boldly before a marquis—except in the Yun household?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the kitchen’s modern decor and stainless-steel utensils, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the things you brought back from One Below?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Food is the people’s heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye picked up a gleaming cleaver and grinned. “If the chance arises, naturally I prioritize my own stomach first. The rest? I’ve hidden them in the basement—I just haven’t found a chance to bring them out yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cultivator with both Water and Earth elemental roots, digging underground chambers was basic skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the entire underground of the Yun mansion had been hollowed out by Yun Ye’s magic, filled with all sorts of modern supplies—weapons alone amounted to a small arms depot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roughly estimated, it could arm a modern force of over a hundred men, enough to crush all of Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it was clear Yun Ye still harbored doubts—he didn’t fully trust Li Er or Empress Changsun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Yun Ye prepare ingredients, Lin Yu sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the Marquis of Lantian of the Great Tang—this is how you’re treating me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already good enough!” Yun Ye didn’t look up. “At least I have ample seasonings and solid culinary skill. If you went to any restaurant in Chang’an, the flavor wouldn’t match mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was true. The most famous chefs in Chang’an today all came from the Yun household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even chefs with no connection to Yun Ye would forcibly claim ties to the Yun family to prove their culinary credibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in today’s Chang’an, there truly was no better place to dine than the Yun mansion…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, you cook then—but the ingredients must be replaced!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Lin Yu waved his hand and pulled out a pile of shimmering, radiant ingredients from his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glowing lights burst through the kitchen, blinding Yun Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! You came prepared!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye’s eyes lit up. “Then I won’t be polite!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he took down a silver pouch embroidered with gold thread from his waist, released a burst of spiritual energy, and instantly stored all the fresh ingredients inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This silver pouch, capable of storing objects, was Lin Yu’s creation—a modified Ling-Sucking Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its interior space was vast, air-tight, and temperature-controllable—perfect for home, travel, or looting corpses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since leaving the One Below world, Lin Yu had listed these storage pouches on the group’s marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently priced at only ten points, they were a steal—everyone in the group loved them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye pulled out a massive golden meat wing. “Is this the wing of a Golden-Winged Great Peng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu frowned. “Where would there be a Golden-Winged Great Peng in the Frieren world? This is a griffin’s wing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I see… Do you have dragon wings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, but I have a slab of ice dragon rib. Look for the one radiating cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found it. Then let’s make sweet-and-sour dragon rib and roasted whole griffin wing. Do you have honey?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The glowing jar…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Honey glows? Is it radioactive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s nectar-light—it helps bee larvae grow. In my world, it’s given to children to accelerate development and strengthen their bodies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about adults?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… Not sure. Maybe it boosts virility?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then that’s the one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much bustle, Yun Ye finally prepared eight main dishes and carried them to the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eight dishes used ingredients from fantastical creatures—truly a celestial banquet for ordinary people of the Tang Brick world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating just one meal wouldn’t grant immortality, but it would certainly strengthen the body and prolong life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this assumes the Yun family’s digestive systems can handle such extraordinary food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent indigestion, Lin Yu specifically brought out a sparkling fruit juice brewed by a member of an immortal clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sparkling juice was made from the fruit of the Glow-Vine, naturally infused with faint decomposition runes that helped drinkers digest food faster, allowing them to consume more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this juice, that immortal clan member won the first-ever “Giant Dragon’s Stomach” Eating Contest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, he tried selling his invention—and was caught cheating by the Giant Dragon’s Stomach. His title was revoked, and he was blacklisted, with a public notice banning such fraud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1607,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a046c5049fd4b6ee0d3ee4ac72fba8c331cfb548bf9d348ff2b11d20a7869b55","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-97","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-95",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
