The next day, the sun shone brightly.

Qingcheng, heavily pregnant, found Ye Feng. From a distance, it looked like a husband accompanying his pregnant wife on a stroll in the sunshine.

Ye Feng asked Qingcheng curiously, "What did you want to talk to me about yesterday, all mysteriously?"

The sunlight shone brightly on her, making her indescribably beautiful and breathtaking. She parted her cherry lips slightly, and said with a hint of slyness, "A major event! A matter of utmost importance!"

Ye Feng said, "If you're going to talk about it, then hurry up. There's nothing in this realm that's bigger than the sky for me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng couldn't help but roll her eyes, mentally muttering "what a straight man!" before quickly saying, "Doesn't your Shushan Sword Sect have a lot of bachelors? As the junior uncle of the Shushan Sword Sect, aren't you worried?"

Now it was Ye Feng's turn to roll his eyes: "This kind of thing is naturally something my sect leader brother will worry about, why should I care? Besides, what does this have to do with you? It's not like you people from the Myriad Flowers Sect haven't tried it before."

With an air of nonchalance, the old woman crossed her arms, making her ample bosom appear even more prominent, and chuckled, "In the past, when the children were ignorant, we Dark Sect disciples would send them out. But when they encountered the Immaculate Sword Heart of your Shu Mountain Sword Sect, they were bound to get a thrashing. This time, however, it's different. I'm talking about our orthodox disciples. Your Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciples are all dashing, exceptionally talented, and righteous, while our Myriad Flower Sect disciples are innocent, elegant, and pure-hearted. If our two sects were to form an alliance, I don't believe there wouldn't be disciples who take a liking to each other. What do you think of this suggestion?"

Ye Feng stroked his chin, thinking carefully about Qingcheng's suggestion. It wasn't entirely unreasonable. Although the Myriad Flowers Sect was somewhat utilitarian, the vast majority of their disciples were still very upright, making them quite suitable as Daoist partners. Most importantly, their own disciple possessed an immaculate sword heart. If the other party harbored any wicked thoughts, their image would become utterly despicable in the eyes of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciples. There was absolutely no possibility of them being swayed by love, turning against their own sect, or being used by others.

As for things like "raging for a beauty" or "slaying a sect in protest against injustice," such things could indeed happen if they were justified. However, I am certainly not afraid of such things. Whether it's an elder or my senior brothers, they are nothing more than a slap in my eyes. Thinking about it this way, my fellow villager Qingcheng's suggestion is quite feasible.

"I don't think what you said is impossible. What are your conditions?"

Qingcheng patted Ye Feng's arm and said with a smile, "As expected of people from our great Celestial Empire, you really understand the principle of reciprocity."

Ye Feng chuckled. "You insisted on finding this time to talk to me, and you kept rambling on and on, just waiting for me to say this, didn't you?"

Qingcheng wasn't embarrassed by having her thoughts exposed, and said directly, "Look, this is the first time your Shushan Sword Sect and our Wanhua Sect have had a friendly gathering. As the host, shouldn't you prepare some delicious food for our Wanhua Sect disciples?"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "That's how it should be. I'll just throw a buffet party then."

"Don't try to fool us with your 'mountain retreat' nonsense. What I need is your internal supply!"

"Can."

Qingcheng smiled and said, "Then it's settled. As for the date, let's just do it this Saturday."

Ye Feng nodded and then asked, "Are there any restrictions on the number of people?"

Qingcheng replied, "Let's tentatively set it at 100 people and see how it goes first. I'll also have to ask Mudan to carefully select the people who will come here when I get back."

Ye Feng said, "The selection criteria can be broadened. Talent and appearance don't need to be considered in the selection process. Anyway, once you marry into my Shushan Sword Sect, these things will be readily available. You can just choose some who are simple-minded or have good character."

Qingcheng said, "Your words are belittling our Wanhua Sect. Your Shushan Sword Sect selects the best of the best, but not just anyone can enter our Wanhua Sect. Every one of those who can enter the main branch of our Wanhua Sect is top-notch."

Ye Feng nodded, acknowledging Qingcheng's words. Seeing that she seemed about to leave, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is this all the benefit you want? Just to get some of the food that our sect provides for its disciples?"

Qingcheng said with a smile, "If my fellow villager takes pity on me and is willing to cook me a dish that will give me a chance to see my limits, I would be extremely grateful."

Ye Feng said helplessly, "If I hadn't asked, would you not have said that?"

Qingcheng laughed heartily and said, "Based on my understanding of men in our Celestial Empire, it's impossible for you not to ask me. There's nothing I can do about it; that's just how magnanimous men in our Celestial Empire are."

Looking at the butterfly in front of him, laughing so hard it was almost trembling... well, the plump, butterfly-like beauty who was too full to fly anymore, Ye Feng immediately thought of a dish.

Ye Feng has always been very loyal to his friends, and it's no big deal for him to help out in any way he can.

"Okay, come with me, I'll cook for you now."

As they talked, the two transformed into streaks of light and flew away, soon landing by the Heavenly Spring Pool on Five Old Peaks.

Ye Feng reached out and grabbed, and with a "poof," a golden figure flew out of the Heavenly Spring Water. Qingcheng looked closely and saw a round, chubby fellow with soft spines all over his body that weren't prickly. At the moment, his body was inflated like a balloon, and water was constantly spitting out of his small mouth.

Qingcheng couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick the corner of her mouth. Pufferfish are so cute, they must taste delicious, right?

What Ye Feng caught was a pufferfish, a genuine 6-star rated ingredient! This pufferfish weighed about two pounds, and its golden skin was quite pleasing to the eye.

Pufferfish is known as the delicacy of fish. "If you don't eat pufferfish, how can you know the taste of fish? After eating pufferfish, all other flavors are lost." In the past, people knew that eating this thing could poison them, but there were always people who would eat it without hesitation, even if it meant death. This shows how delicious this little creature is.

Using this little thing to cook, Ye Feng felt that 8 stars would definitely not be his limit.

If Ye Feng wanted to play a key role in helping his fellow townsman Qingcheng, he estimated that he would need at least an 8-star rating, so he had really gone all out today.

The small kitchen was right next to them, so the two of them didn't need to go any further. Just as Ye Feng placed the lively pufferfish on the cutting board, a stunningly beautiful figure in flowing white robes suddenly descended from the sky.

She then imitated Ye Feng and scooped out a pufferfish from the lake, which was even larger than Ye Feng's.

Looking at the newcomer, Qingcheng couldn't help but think, "Oh ho, an uninvited guest."
