The Celestial Realm.

The Boundless Immortal Emperor looked at Fairy Youlan with a kind smile and said, "I have discussed it with your junior brother. Since you can't go down, we will have your husband come up to the mortal realm. The flow of time is different up and down, so he should arrive in a little while. After he arrives, you and your husband will come back to the Daoist temple with me, and I will protect you."

Fairy Youlan hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior."

The Boundless Immortal Emperor laughed heartily and said, "No need, no need. Your junior brother has already offered me a bargaining chip that I can't refuse. Since I've agreed to it, I'll naturally keep my word."

After saying that, he muttered to himself, "Besides, I can see that kid is a typical protective parent. With you guys here, if that kid comes up with anything good in the future, my wife will definitely get a share, right? Talking about benefits with this kid is not as practical as talking about friendship."

The Boundless Immortal Emperor had met Ye Feng several times and believed he knew Ye Feng quite well. This guy was somewhat meticulous when it came to business, but much more generous when it came to friends or personal relationships. He was confident that he could extract some good things from Ye Feng by addressing Ye Feng's specific needs.

Fairy Youlan finally felt relieved, but she couldn't help but marvel at her junior brother's extensive connections. She had just learned the identity of the powerful figure before her—a quasi-Emperor realm expert. Even if he didn't know much about the realms and powerful figures in the Immortal Realm, he could get a general idea from the respectful demeanor of the immortals coming and going at the barrier between the two realms. Most importantly, even her own Myriad Flower Sect dared not provoke him, so he was beyond just a regional giant. Overjoyed, she thought of her husband's imminent reunion with her. She wondered what his expression would be when he found out she was pregnant.

Ye Feng turned off the heat after steaming the millet ribs for 30 minutes, but he didn't rush to open the steamer. Instead, he let it simmer for another 30 minutes to make the dish tender and fall off the bone.

While the soup was simmering, Ye Feng didn't rest. He continued to make the fourth dish—bird's nest chicken soup—with great speed.

This dish was his grand finale. Many people don't know much about bird's nest and wonder why it has such a strange name. Actually, it's not strange at all; it really is a swallow's nest. It's mainly composed of the saliva and other substances from two types of swallows: swiftlets and golden swiftlets.

Ye Feng used to hear people boast about how nourishing this stuff was, but as he grew up, he realized that the nutritional value exaggerated by marketing was far greater than the actual product. In reality, the nutritional value of bird's nest is very limited. If you eat a moderate amount of meat, eggs, and dairy products, along with a moderate amount of seafood, you can get all the nutritional value that bird's nest can provide. It is far from the exaggerated claims, and its cost-effectiveness is extremely low.

However, Ye Feng's nest is different from ordinary ones. It is the nest of a thousand-year-old golden swiftlet, a sixth-grade immortal bird. Its nutritional value is much higher. Combined with his own supplementary ingredients and sacred beast meat, it has a very good effect on the subsequent intellectual and comprehension development of the fetus.

While making it, he said, "Senior brother, remember, this dish can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, replenish qi and invigorate the middle jiao. Eating it can promote fetal brain development and has a high probability of improving intelligence and comprehension. Senior brother, you should remind them that after eating this, the energy should be collected and can only be transferred to the child when the child has taken human form in the womb."

Ye Feng's fifth dish was much simpler and more straightforward: a bowl of one-legged golden crow egg cake, which was essentially a sponge cake with the ingredients replaced by one-legged golden crows.

This dish is much simpler to make. Just crack the golden crow eggs into a large bowl, then pour in 1.5 times the amount of water as the golden crow eggs, add a little salt, and stir well.

Ye Feng took out an exceptionally fine sieve and poured the stirred Golden Crow egg liquid into it. The bright yellow, silky-smooth liquid flowed continuously from under the sieve until it was completely filtered.

Then he took out a piece of plastic wrap, covered the bowl with it, poked some small holes in it, and then put it on the steamer.

Nine minutes later, Ye Feng instantly took out the bowl containing the sponge cake. The sponge cake was already cooked, and even though it was well set in the bowl, it still bounced up with a "duangduangduang" sound as Ye Feng moved.

"This dish is called 'Jelly Golden Crow Egg Cake'. Although it uses few ingredients, it is extremely rich in nutrients and is very beneficial to pregnant women."

With the last dish completed, the two unfinished dishes were also taken out of the pot one after another. Ye Feng put them into jade slips and handed them over to Shenqing Zhenjun.

"Senior brother, please take good care of yourself on your journey. The powerful Immortal Emperor Wuya will protect you both. If anything happens, you can contact me through him. Besides those two jade slips containing dishes, there are some other things prepared for you, as well as some materials for upgrading the braised dishes. Senior brother, please handle them as needed."

Shenqing Zhenjun nodded and accepted the jade slip. Then, he patted Ye Feng's shoulder with his steady and powerful hands: "The Shushan Sword Sect is developing very well. You have done much better than me. I believe that it will not be long before you can lead the entire Shushan Sword Sect to ascension. At that time, our Shushan Sword Sect will surely become a major force in the Immortal Realm."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Of course. When you go to the Upper Realm, you can find out more about the situation in the Immortal Realm, so that we won't be blind to what's going on."

Shenqing Zhenjun nodded and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first. It's not good to keep that Immortal Emperor waiting. You can tell him for me, and I won't say goodbye, so as not to add to the sadness."

After speaking, Shenqing Zhenjun transformed into light and disappeared. In a short while, only a small dot of light remained, which was inconspicuous under the flashing lightning in the distance.

After a moment of disorientation, he passed through the boundary wall and saw two figures standing at the boundary wall of the immortal realm. One of them was the Boundless Immortal Emperor, whom he had met once at the mountaintop cottage, and the other was none other than his wife whom he had been longing for day and night.

Suppressing his excitement, Shenqing Zhenjun stepped forward and said to Wuya Immortal Emperor, "Greetings, Immortal Emperor. I have brought the things that my junior brother prepared."

The Boundless Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "That's good. This isn't the place to talk. You two come with me." With that, he flew away first.

Shenqing Zhenjun reached out and took Youlan Fairy's soft, boneless hand, gently wrapped his arm around her waist, and then turned into light to chase after Wuya Immortal Emperor.

His natal flying sword also transformed into a giant sword, dragging him and Fairy Youlan away at high speed.

The Boundless Immortal Emperor glanced at the Divine Clarity True Monarch with some surprise. He hadn't expected that the boy's fellow disciple to be so peculiar. He was carrying someone and was still able to keep up with him with ease. Although he was trying to keep up with the other's speed, he also wanted to see the other's limits, so he kept his speed at the average speed of a True Immortal in the Immortal Realm. He hadn't expected that this person would keep up so easily.
