Master, when can I become your wife?

?

Wu Lingxiao was momentarily stunned when he looked at the list.

No!

What happened?!

How did Yue Qingge manage to climb to the 999th floor in the blink of an eye, and even clear the level?

While he and Long Xiao were vying for first place on the 998th floor, did he secretly go and clear the 999th floor?

Yue Qingge, you rascal!

Wu Lingxiao was somewhat unconvinced. If Yue Qingge could pass, he could too, and he had to pass faster than Yue Qingge!

Otherwise, where would he put his face as the Holy Son?

Just then, Wu Lingxiao seemed to hear the people around him starting to talk.

They said things like, "The Holy Maiden is really amazing, much more amazing than the Holy Son."

Oh, so it wasn't just a feeling, someone was actually saying it.

Many of the Daoist disciples gathered here saw Yue Qingge on the leaderboard.

and so……

They began to judge Yue Qingge and Wu Lingxiao.

But Wu Lingxiao didn't like hearing such words.

Looking at the Peak Tower in front of him, now that Long Xiao is gone, there is no need for him to continue trying to reach the 998th floor.

The challenge is now on the 999th floor.

With this in mind, Wu Lingxiao entered the Peak Tower.

Just then, Yue Qingge left the Peak Tower.

I've been teleported out.

The reason is that the person on the thousandth floor is a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage, and an extremely monstrous one at that.

They are powerful individuals who are just one step away from reaching the Celestial Immortal realm.

When Yue Qingge reached the thousandth floor, she chatted with the other party for a few words before making a move.

As soon as they made a move, they were instantly defeated.

Looking at the people on the top leaderboard, Yue Qingge couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, wondering how these people had managed to pass the first thousandth floor.

This is simply not a match, okay?

They had no ability to resist at all.

Could it be that in this day and age, their Dao Seeking Sect has become very weak?

Yue Qingge couldn't help but think this to herself.

But after thinking about it, I realized that I was still too weak. One of the previous saintesses had cleared the thousandth floor.

They might have already made a name for themselves in the immortal realm.

"Let's stop playing and take a break."

Yue Qingge turned and left Shenzhan Peak. In the past year, she had spent most of her time at Shenzhan Peak challenging the Peak Tower.

The purpose was to pass the 999th floor before Wu Lingxiao.

The objective has now been achieved.

I can now prepare to break through to the Mahayana stage.

But before that, let's go to Cangjian Peak to see the snow of Qingqiu that we haven't seen for a long time.

Qingqiu Xue is no longer as hostile towards her as she used to be.

We became a little closer.

at the same time.

Ye Junze, who had just returned to Cangjian Peak, was eating barbecue.

There are many unawakened spirit beasts on Hidden Sword Peak.

These spirit beasts were originally just ordinary small animals, but they evolved into spirit beasts because the spiritual energy in this place was too rich.

However, since it's not a true spirit beast, it doesn't have much combat power.

In other words, the taste is quite good.

Qingqiu Xue lay on the grass, her hands supporting her face, her little legs swinging restlessly as she watched Ye Junze's movements expectantly.

Luo Yunxi, on the other hand, skillfully sliced ​​the spirit fruit.

The three of them, master and disciples, looked incredibly warm and loving.

The atmosphere was broken by the arrival of Yue Qingge.

Looking at the roasted spirit rabbit in front of her and the fruit platter that Luo Yunxi had cut, Yue Qingge's eyes lit up. "Wow, it seems I've come at just the right time."

"No, you've come at the wrong time."

Ye Junze shook his head. One more person means one more mouth to feed, and with one more mouth to feed, they have to eat less.

This is not good.

Yue Qingge rolled her eyes in exasperation. "What? I came all this way, and this is how you treat your guests?"

This person is so good-looking, how come they don't have any emotional intelligence?

If this continues, I'll never find a partner.

"Saintess Sister."

Luo Yunxi greeted Yue Qingge with a smile; she and Yue Qingge had a pretty good relationship.

After all, Yue Qingge had promised her to help her pursue Ye Junze.

Although Yue Qingge hasn't been of much help so far.

But if someone has this intention, then they are a good person.

"Greetings, Holy Maiden."

Qingqiu Xue also greeted him quietly, and quietly crawled closer to Ye Junze.

Then, with eyes full of anticipation, he looked at the sizzling, oily rabbit roasting in front of him.

Actually, she couldn't bear to eat the little white rabbit.

After all, little white rabbits are so cute, but they also taste delicious.

Ye Junze looked at Yue Qingge, who was sitting opposite him without any politeness, and said, "I only caught three, there are none for you. If you want to eat, go catch one yourself in the back mountain."

"Alright, alright, I'll go catch it."

Yue Qingge gave a soft hum and got up to walk towards the back of Cangjian Peak.

The vast Hidden Sword Peak was only quiet and spacious in the area where Ye Junze was located; the rest of the area was teeming with countless spirit beasts.

There were also all sorts of spiritual plants, densely packed together.

Even a blade of grass by the roadside is a low-grade or mid-grade spiritual herb.

You can also see top-quality wild spiritual fruits from time to time.

Hidden Sword Peak is actually very rich.

It's just that Ye Junze hasn't come to take care of it.

Yue Qingge caught a few spirit birds and spirit rabbits and took them back to Ye Junze and the others' residence.

"Arresting so many?"

Ye Junze looked at the prey in Yue Qingge's hands: five spirit rabbits and seven unidentified spirit birds.

Yue Qingge pouted and said, "Can't I eat it?"

"Okay, then you can handle it yourself, I'll bake it for you."

Ye Junze didn't seem to mind and nodded in response.

Yue Qingge was taken aback. "How do we prepare it? Can't we just bake it?"

As she spoke, Yue Qingge looked at the spirit rabbit sizzling over the fire and realized that it had been gutted and its fur was gone.

"..."

Yue Qingge fell silent; she had never done anything like this before.

"Now you know?"

"I'll give it a try."

Yue Qingge picked up a few spirit rabbits and examined them. Although she had never done this before, she learned quickly.

And it looks very simple; all you have to do is peel off the skin and take out the internal organs.

So, under the watchful eyes of Ye Junze and his two disciples, Yue Qingge made her move.

With a gentle touch, the rabbit's fur fell off, its blood vanished, and with a flick of the finger, its belly was ripped open, its internal organs burned away.

In the blink of an eye, a cleaned-up spirit rabbit appeared.

Ye Junze nodded and pointed to the fire in front of him, "Next, just put them on here to roast. These are seasoning powders; you can add whichever you like."

Plain grilled meat doesn't taste very good, so Ye Junze used various spiritual fruits to make seasonings to enhance the flavor.

"Um."

Yue Qingge rubbed her hands together and began to bake the same thing in the same way.

Before long, the fresh roasted rabbit was perfectly ready.

Yue Qingge took a small bite, and her eyes lit up immediately.

It's absolutely delicious!

Perhaps because she made it herself, Yue Qingge thought it tasted much better than what she bought on Wangyou Peak!

Luo Yunxi smiled and said, "Right, right? The seasonings Master made smell so good, much better than those made by the disciples who specialize in cooking."

In fact, Luo Yunxi hadn't really tasted the food made by those chefs and disciples.

But that doesn't stop her from boasting about her master.

Yue Qingge nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, but my cooking skills also play a big part."

For a time, laughter and cheers filled the Hidden Sword Peak.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Luo Yunxi chatted with Yue Qingge about their experiences over the past few days.

Ye Junze, meanwhile, held Qingqiu Xue in his arms and began reading a storybook.

As evening approached, another person arrived at Cangjian Peak.

Lin Qiu looked at the four people on Hidden Sword Peak and scratched his head. What is Yue Qingge doing here?

Never mind, it's not important.

I'm here to treat everyone to a meal; if necessary, I can treat Yue Qingge as well.

Thinking of the store he went to today, Lin Qiu's lips curled into a malicious smile.

"Ye Junze, come on, I'll treat you to drinks at Forget-Worry Peak!"

Ye Junze, who was reading a storybook, raised an eyebrow and looked up when he heard Lin Qiu's voice.

Lin Qiu had already arrived at a short distance away.

Ye Junze said with considerable surprise, "So generous? Did you find a disciple and come to celebrate?"

"..."

Lin Qiu remained silent. Why was this guy always like this, always bringing up the most sensitive topics?

"No, I just came to invite you to dinner and, incidentally, to offer you the sect I'm in charge of the mission."

The sect contribution points from the previous mission in the Beiling Mountains hadn't been given to Ye Junze yet, but they were given to him this time.

"No need, we're buddies, and you've already treated me to dinner. You can keep the sect contribution points; I don't usually need them anyway."

"Hey, since you've put it that way, then I won't hold back."

Lin Qiu didn't stand on ceremony with Ye Junze, since the sect would cover Ye Junze's expenses at the Treasure Pavilion anyway.

"Let's go, a new shop opened at Forget-Worry Pavilion today, the food is pretty good, I'll take you to try it out, Saintess, come along too."

"Okay, okay!"

Of course, Yue Qingge wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.

After reaching a consensus, the group left Cangjian Peak. Just as they stepped off the peak, they bumped into a woman.

"Hmm... Is this Hidden Sword Peak?"

Bei Ling looked around. The Dao Seeking Sect was so vast that she was momentarily lost.

The main problem is that we don't know the exact location of Hidden Sword Peak.

Fortunately, at that moment, Ye Junze and his group emerged from Hidden Sword Peak, and Bei Ling immediately flew over to them.

"Peak Master Ye."

"Hmm? What brings you here?"

"I'm here to express my gratitude. Without you, how could I have become an honorary elder of the Dao Seeking Sect? Hmm... Shall I treat you to a meal?"

Bei Ling actually felt that treating someone to a meal was a bit stingy, but it seemed that there was nothing about her that Ye Junze would be interested in.

As the leader of a peak, Ye Junze has far more resources than she does.

Most of the things she had were things she couldn't give away, because they were all things she needed herself. As for things she didn't need, she threw them into the secret realm.

Upon becoming an honorary elder of the Dao Seeking Sect, she exchanged all her unwanted possessions for sect contributions.

The original plan was to give the sect's contribution to Ye Junze.

It turns out that the peak master of Hidden Sword Peak can get the resources of the Dao Seeking Sect for free without consuming sect contribution points.

This made her realize that she was terribly poor.

Inviting Ye Junze to dinner seems to be the only way she can express her gratitude at the moment.

Ye Junze said knowingly, "No need, someone's treating us today. You can treat me next time."

"Oh? Okay, then I'll take my leave."

Bei Ling nodded and turned to leave.

Ye Junze paused for a moment, then immediately called out to Bei Lingdao, "By the way, you just joined the Dao Seeking Sect today, why don't you come and have dinner with us?"

Bei Ling hesitated for a moment, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Lin Qiu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we're all friends, it's on me today, eat whatever you like."

Actually, he didn't want to drag Bei Ling into this, but he couldn't let Ye Junze find out, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Alright then."

Bei Ling smiled and nodded upon hearing this, knowing that it was always a good idea to build a good relationship with Ye Junze.

Before long, the group arrived at Forget-Worry Peak.

Then, led by Lin Qiu, they arrived at a newly opened restaurant on Forget-Worry Peak.

【A Culinary Journey to Another World】

This is the name of the restaurant, I don't know if it's because it just opened or because the food is really good.

In short... there were quite a lot of people.

"This is the place, let's go."

Lin Qiu smiled and walked into the restaurant first.

Ye Junze raised an eyebrow, looking at the name of the restaurant, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

The hall was incredibly noisy, but nothing seemed amiss.

The disciple in charge of reception walked over with a smile and said, "Sect Master Lin, you have reserved room number ten. I will take you there."

Lin Qiu nodded and followed the other person to private room number ten on the second floor.

It was very quiet around.

The other private rooms were completely silent.

After entering the private room, Lin Qiu explained, "Only in the private rooms can you enjoy the truly unique cuisine at this restaurant."

"How unique are they?"

Ye Junze raised an eyebrow. Could it compare to the things those crazy disciples on the Star Sea Divine Ship had come up with?

You'll find out soon enough.

Lin Qiu smiled mysteriously, because he had already ordered before he arrived, so all he had to do now was wait for the food to be served.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Bei Ling couldn't help but feel excited. The special delicacies of the Dao Asking Sect must be delicious, right?

I will never have to live the miserable life of a wandering immortal again.

Yue Qingge was equally excited.

Before long, the door to the private room opened, and the disciple who brought the food, with a smile on his face, brought in a plate of food and placed it on the table.

He then smiled politely and left.

The dish on the table was still emitting a faint chill, clearly indicating that it was a cold dish.

However, it was covered up.

Ye Junze found it increasingly strange. What kind of thing needed to be covered up?

Lin Qiu smiled calmly and opened the lid in full view of everyone.

What came into view was a purple insect with dozens of claws, its body covered in frost. There was a gash on its back, inside which was a thick, green liquid that was emitting a faint chill.

Lin Qiu smiled and introduced, "This is a specialty from the underworld, frost-covered centipede sashimi, which tastes extremely delicious."

"..."

For a moment, there was utter silence.

Bei Ling's pupils trembled slightly, and her fingertips shook a little. This... can this really be eaten?

Are the people of the Daoist Sect really that picky about food?

Yue Qingge was completely dumbfounded. No, Lin Qiu's so-called treat was to bring them here to eat this.

In contrast, Ye Junze, Luo Yunxi, and Qingqiu Xue were much calmer.

Small-scale event.
