Chapter 2531: It's my turn to provide the ingredients again?

After finishing their meal, they still hadn't seen Old Zhao. Although they found it strange, they didn't investigate further.

After all, with Old Zhao absent, there was one less person to share the food, which was a good thing for everyone, as each person could eat more.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they left, talking amongst themselves.

Only Ye Changqing had a strange expression, because he had just received several more telepathic messages.

This person really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

What Ye Changqing didn't expect was that less than a quarter of an hour after everyone left, Old Zhao rushed over in a hurry.

He opened the door and smiled.

"Haha, I deliberately arrived a little late today, just waiting for these bastards to bring out the ingredients. Where am I today...?"

Old Zhao was taken aback when he saw that Ye Changqing was the only person in the kitchen.

He deliberately arrived late today, waiting to catch everyone off guard so they could bring out the ingredients.

Looking at Old Zhao, who was initially overjoyed but then became stunned, Ye Changqing also looked at him strangely.

"Um... they've all finished eating and left."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao's expression visibly froze. He left? And he finished eating?

He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and then there was a sound of teeth grinding.

"They finished eating and left. Those bastards, how come they finished eating before I even came?"

Only then did Old Zhao belatedly realize that he was too late.

I was filled with regret. I had planned to come later, and he had even deliberately timed it precisely.

We started eating around this time yesterday, why are we eating so early today?

These bastards did it on purpose, didn't they?

Seeing Old Zhao's face turn pale and then red, Ye Changqing was speechless.

But before he could even say a few words of comfort, Old Zhao seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but grin.

"They've finished eating and left, so now I'm all alone? Haha, good, good, good indeed."

Seeing Zhao Lao suddenly become ecstatic again, Ye Changqing was completely bewildered. What was going on? He couldn't understand it.

Ye Changqing didn't understand, but the next second, he saw Old Zhao take out a piece of extraterrestrial demon food with great joy, put it in front of Ye Changqing, and laugh loudly.

"Haha, Ye boy, tonight it's just the two of us. We must savor this extraterrestrial demon. I have prepared a jar of fine immortal wine on me. Let's have a few drinks together."

Old Zhao's thinking was simple: since everyone else had finished eating and left, they wouldn't be coming back.

Since that's the case, then it's just him and Ye Changqing.

Although I didn't get to eat the food from those brats, being able to enjoy it myself at my own pace is a pretty good result, isn't it?

What do you call this? This is what they call "a blessing in disguise," turning misfortune into fortune.

Upon hearing Zhao Lao's words, Ye Changqing's expression turned somewhat strange. He was about to explain to the old man when he was too late; someone had already knocked on the door of the kitchen.

"Young Master Ye, I'm coming in."

As the words were spoken, a celestial official flashed in.

Then, their eyes met in mid-air, and the two stared at each other in bewilderment.

Old Zhao's laughter stopped abruptly, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, the celestial official began to look around.

Upon seeing the extraterrestrial demon as an ingredient, he was secretly delighted. Just as he expected, a bright smile crept onto his lips.

"Hehe, Palace Master, you've finally arrived."

Ok? ? ?

Seeing the familiar smile on the little brat's face, Old Zhao's heart sank. Oh no, I've arrived too early again.

It was a very familiar scenario, almost identical to yesterday. The ingredients were just taken out, and then these little brats arrived one after another.

Tonight is no different, but what's even more outrageous is...

Tonight, those little brats didn't wait for him; they brought out the ingredients themselves, and he didn't even get to eat them. He's already lost out at his grandma's house.

His face darkened, and he was about to speak when, before Zhao Lao could say anything, Huang Lao, the Tian family patriarch, and Miao Cuihua also slipped into the kitchen.

He said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I knew you weren't going to be so honest. You're planning a surprise attack, aren't you?"

"I saw right through you a long time ago."

"Huh??? Old Zhao is here too?"

The Heavenly Official's little scheme had long been anticipated by Elder Huang and the others, which is why Elder Huang and the others caught up with him shortly after he returned.

However, facing the teasing of Elder Huang and the others, the Heavenly Official smiled and showed no anger whatsoever, grinning back.

"What are you saying? Would I do such a thing? These ingredients were provided by the Palace Master himself; they have nothing to do with me."

Huh? ? ? What the hell...

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao completely lost his composure and started asking for the ingredients.

No, you bunch of bastards, why aren't you playing by the rules? Something's not right with you guys.

However, there's no point in talking about these things now, as others arrive one after another, including Zhao Lao's two disciples, Bai Le and Hong Luan.

In the end, Old Zhao had no choice but to contribute this extraterrestrial demon as food.

Something's not right. Why is he the one providing the ingredients, while these bastards haven't provided anything?

His fine wine, the leisurely evenings he imagined enjoying with fine wine and delicious food, are gone forever.

It was another delicious meal, but Old Zhao ate it with gritted teeth.

The taste was still unforgettable, but when Old Zhao ate it, it had a slightly bitter aftertaste.

No matter how I calculate it, I just can't outsmart these little brats.

He just couldn't understand it. How could a great man like himself be plotted against and killed by a group of younger generations?

Another bowl filled with bitterness.

After two meals, everyone left satisfied and went back to cultivate. Ye Changqing also went back to his room to rest.

As the celestial ships continued their journey, at the Heavenly Crystal Mine where their target was located, a member of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, whose appearance bore a striking resemblance to Yu Hengxin, suddenly appeared.

Logically speaking, since the extraterrestrial demons seized this crystal mine, they should be in a completely hostile relationship with the Celestial Spirit Clan.

The Celestial Spirit Clan shouldn't be here, let alone alone, without even a member of their own clan by their side.

This is nothing short of a lamb being led to the slaughter.

Furthermore, this Celestial Spirit Clan member showed no fear whatsoever when facing the extraterrestrial demons around him; instead, he appeared calm and composed.

As my gaze swept around, a hoarse voice came from the darkness.

"You've got guts, daring to come here alone."

"Why wouldn't I dare? We are no longer enemies."

"You want to cooperate, do you have any leverage? Your status as a Spirit Child of the Heavenly Spirit Clan is not enough, after all, you are not the only Spirit Child of the Heavenly Spirit Clan."

"I dare to come here because I have my own support. The Demon God doesn't know that you are already in grave danger."

"presumptuous."

As soon as these words were spoken, an extremely cold and oppressive aura instantly swept over him, enveloping the Celestial Spirit Clan's spiritual son.

For a moment, it felt as if I had been dragged into endless darkness.
