Chapter 444 - Chef’s Cultivation (2/2)

“…”

“Shen Ying, tell me honestly!” Lonemoon patted her shoulder and said seriously, “Do you like Chef? Or just Chef’s body?”

“….” Why can’t I like his cooking?

“Chef, Elder!” Just as they were speaking, Lonemoon flew over from afar. She seemed to know that Yi Qing was somewhere nearby training his sword techniques. She had a defensive array around herself to protect herself from getting hurt accidentally. She bowed and said, “The country emperor of East Tsui has been waiting in the Heavenly Palace for a long time. He said he has an important matter to bring to your attention.”

Lonemoon frowned. “Yu Hong, I said that you and Si Yu can handle the matters for the sect. You don’t have to come and ask me about these things. You can handle it.”

“No.” Yu Hong turned to glance at the man not far away. Then, she continued, “He wants to see Elder Yi Qing. I already asked what this was about, but he refused to tell me. All he said was that this matter is urgent, and he had to see Celestial Emperor Yi Qing personally.”

“He’s looking for Chef?” Lonemoon paused. Then, he recalled that apart from the ten Celestial Emperors, others saw Yi Qing as the person who controlled the Heavenly Palace. He was the official Celestial Emperor of the Bo Sea. “East Tsui? Why does that name sound so familiar?”

“The country emperor of East Tsui is Yu Cang,” Yu Hong reminded Lonemoon. “He was the one who arrived late at the last immortal meeting.”

“Oh. The one who played the villain?” Lonemoon knew who he was now. He was the one who said that he supported Lan Hua and opposed to Yi Qing being the country emperor.

Suddenly, he wanted to laugh. When those country emperors tried to play tricks on them and cause conflicts between Yi Qing and Lan Hua, they completely failed. Instead, their plan backfired, and they began to have internal strife because of the Immortal Contest Pills. Later, Lonemoon and the others lost interest in the country emperors. But from time to time, they would hear from the disciples about news regarding them. They even heard that about half of the 15 country emperors had later been fired.

“He’s still a country emperor?” While Lan Hua refined more than a hundred Immortal Contest Pills, Lonemoon only handed to them about 15. Later on, he quietly let a few more enter the market, so that the country emperors got angry. Afterall, the people who consumed the pills the other day were the close confidant of the country emperors. Yu Cang was the only one who played the villain and stepped up to cause trouble. Whether they supported him in silence or not, the other country emperors were sure to keep their distance from them. By right, the country of East Tsui should be in trouble by now. Why hadn’t Yu Cang been fired? What was more unbelievable was that he would come to look for Chef and not Lan Hua when he had problems.

“East Tsui is more special,” Yu Hong explained. “I heard that the various immortals who are in charge of various parts of East Tsui are called City Lords. Most of them came from the same lower realm. Among them, most are Yus. In the lower realm, they were known as one of the aristocratic families that trained hard toward immortality. It is rare that they are still one family in the upper realm today. Perhaps because they were all from the same lower realm, they’re especially united.”

“That’s rare!” Lonemoon paused. But few cultivators from the lower realm ascended to immortality. Although there were many immortals in the immortal realm, they came from all over the 3000 worlds. What’s more, “3000 worlds” did not really mean there were only 3000. In fact, there were probably many more worlds than that. How could so many immortals come from one lower realm? It must be that that particular lower realm was filled with thick spirit Qi.

It was no wonder that Yu Cang was still sitting comfortably in his seat. He had such an advantageous support system behind him. Lonemoon was curious as to what was so urgent that Yu Cang would run here and look for Chef. Suddenly, he was excited. He nodded at Yu Hong. “Since the country emperor came here personally, we cannot refuse to meet him. Yu Hong, lead him to the front hall. We will be there in a moment.”

“Yes!” She turned and flew out.

Lonemoon nudged Shen Ying beside him, who had been drifting in and out of sleep. He pointed at Chef and said, “Hey, get to work. Call him over.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying looked at Chef in the distance and shouted lazily, “Chef!”

In a flash, the sword Qi in the air disappeared and Chef appeared beside Shen Ying. His eyes were twinkling as he gazed at her. “Master, you called?”

“Someone wants to see you,” Lonemoon said. “Stop training for now. Let’s go to the front hall.”

Chef frowned. It was obvious he was unwilling. Yet, he stole one glance at Shen Ying and followed them, anyway.

The three of them began to walk toward the front hall. After taking just two steps, Yi Qing could not control himself any longer. He turned to gaze at Shen Ying, clenching his fists by his side. A moment later, he reached out stealthily and grabbed Shen Ying’s hand. He gently tightened his grip on her hand. Seeing that Shen Ying had no reaction, he broke into a silly grin and flushed.

Lonemoon, who had seen the entire process: “…” Motherf*cker!

He had to endure seeing their public displays of affection even when walking!

Wait a moment!

“Where are the two of you headed? It’s there!”
