After all, the Azure Phoenix Ancestor had a wealth of experience.
After thinking for a moment, he discovered his blind spot.
He asked in a deep voice:
"My original intention was to prevent Tianhu Baby from working while still being able to eat."
But how did it all come to the point where I'm working to pay off his meal debts?
Zhao Ziyi smiled slightly:
"Ancestor Qingluan, you are overthinking it. Song Chen and I just wanted to increase the popularity of Spicy Palace."
You two aren't just employees. We're in a collaborative relationship.
If Ancestor Tianhu wishes, he can continue playing the Star Pivot Mirror in the Spicy Palace.
The Celestial Fox Ancestor sipped his tea and nodded hurriedly:
"I'm willing! I'm willing to work! I even want to eat and drink milk tea at the same time!"
The Celestial Fox Ancestor was quite satisfied with his three-meter-wide rice bowl; that was employee-level treatment.
If it were a customer, they would only have a small plate, and they wouldn't be happy about that!
Ancestor Qingluan: "..."
Seeing the embarrassed Qingluan Ancestor, Zhao Ziyi took out an agreement.
"If Ancestor Qingluan has made up his mind, you can take a look at this agreement."
This agreement was the same one Zhao Ziyi used to deceive Lingjiu distributors.
He made a few minor changes, and it became the new Spicy Palace distributor agreement.
Ancestor Qingluan took it and looked down at it.
---
Exclusive Authorized Distributor
Region: Qingluan District
Party A: Spicy Palace
Party B: Azure Phoenix Ancestor
This agreement is a sale agreement.
After signing the agreement, Party A [Spicy Palace] will not be allowed to sell goods independently in the Qingluan region.
It can only be sold to the person in charge of the Qingluan region, Party B, [Qingluan Ancestor].
Party B, [Qingluan Laozu], must also abide by the agreement and sell boxed meals at the stipulated prices. Prices may not be raised or changed.
Meanwhile, Party B needs to pay in advance to purchase the boxed meals and must not delay payment.
...
Signature of Party A: Zhao Ziyi, Owner of Spicy Palace
Party B's Signature: ____
——————
This was the first time that Ancestor Qingluan had ever seen such a formal contract.
Ancestor Qingluan lowered his head and asked Ancestor Tianhu beside him:
"Baby, did you sign this agreement too?"
The Celestial Fox Ancestor nodded:
"Of course we signed a contract! Don't worry, all the employees at Spicy Palace are guaranteed their jobs; we've all signed agreements."
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor was somewhat amused and exasperated, but in the end, he still pressed his handprint on it.
He also wrote his full name: Shang Wensu.
Zhao Ziyi looked at the name and felt that it sounded quite nice and elegant, which suited the appearance of the Azure Phoenix Ancestor.
He couldn't help but look at the Celestial Fox Ancestor:
"Ancestor, I forgot to ask your name before. May I ask what your full name is?"
The Celestial Fox Ancestor pretended not to hear and sipped his tea.
Ancestor Qingluan laughed:
"His name is Shang Baobao, and Baobao is his given name. His courtesy name is Mizhi, which means 'leisurely leaning on the blue sea, climbing the phoenix carriage, laughing as he seeks oranges from Su Jun,' implying vitality and life."
Zhao Ziyi, with a look of utter curiosity, asked:
"How do you know the name of the Celestial Fox Ancestor so clearly, Azure Phoenix Ancestor?"
Ancestor Qingluan raised an eyebrow:
"Didn't he tell you? I was the one who named him."
Zhao Ziyi grinned widely, his expression one of utter astonishment.
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor continues to reveal more:
"That was five thousand years ago. When I saw him, he was only three months old. He was a fox curled up in the stone wall of an endless abyss."
A group of third- or fourth-tier demonic beasts circled the stone wall, trying to devour him.
At that time, I wasn't very powerful; I only had the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, which was equivalent to the strength of a second-tier demon beast.
Fortunately, I was fast enough to fly, and despite my own injuries, I managed to bring him out.
They brought back the Azure Phoenix clan.
Then I gave him a name.
He was very cute when he was a child, so he was named Baobao (Baby).
Then, following my given name, he was named Mi Zhi.
The Celestial Fox Ancestor curled his lip:
"You were only eight years old then, what good name could you possibly come up with! You ruined my whole life!"
Zhao Ziyi's eyes lit up. What kind of upbringing was this? He quickly asked:
"Then, Ancestor Qingluan, what is your courtesy name?"
Ancestor Qingluan laughed:
"【In green brocade robes and jade earrings, I am adorned with the fragrance of five-colored clouds】My name is Wuxiang (Five Fragrances).
Upon hearing this, Song Chen raised his eyebrows and uttered two words: "Five Fragrances" and "Seeking Honey."
Could this Azure Phoenix Ancestor also be a foodie, cough cough, a gourmand?
Thinking of food, Song Chen smiled and stood up, saying:
"You two chat slowly, I'll go and prepare the banquet to entertain the ancestor."
"Let Ancestor Qingluan also taste the flavors of our Spicy Palace's food."
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Fox Ancestor's eyes lit up. He waved his hand and began to shoo people away.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! We've already wasted too much time, I'm starving!"
With a broad smile, Ancestor Qingluan took out three demon beast corpses from his storage bag and placed them on the ground.
"This is a gift for you as we meet: three sixth-tier spirit beasts. Eating more high-tier beast meat is beneficial for your cultivation."
Song Chen carefully put away the beast meat and smiled:
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Upon seeing this scene, the Celestial Fox Ancestor quickly took out the items from his storage bag.
"This is my demon beast meat, and my seventh-grade spiritual tea. Remember to give me a share after it's cooked."
Song Chen nodded:
"Don't worry, I'll inform the ancestor once it's done."
The meat of this animal was partly made into jerky and partly into dishes.
Lingcha also offers four flavors of milk tea.
After hearing this, the Celestial Fox Ancestor nodded in satisfaction:
"Good, good, you should go now."
Having received a bunch of nice things, Song Chen happily headed towards the kitchen.
After chatting, the barrier between them disappeared, and he was able to cook with peace of mind.
Ziyi will stay outside chatting with the old ancestor; nothing will happen.
Song Chen was in the kitchen, ready to show off his skills.
He wanted to prepare a real Manchu Han Imperial Feast, following the recipes he had previously purchased.
After all, Ancestor Qingluan had gifted both Chaos Jade Slips and high-level demonic beasts.
She even agreed to work for Spicy Palace.
If we don't do something truly good, we probably won't be able to impress Ancestor Qingluan.
After all, the Azure Phoenix Ancestor possessed a surging chaotic energy that was no less than that of Song Chen.
Song Chen took out the recipe from his storage bag and began to look at it intently.
Meanwhile, in the restaurant on the third floor outside the kitchen.
The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
Ancestor Qingluan smiled broadly, no longer displaying his previous seriousness.
It seems that he has finally found an opportunity to tell outsiders about his story with the Celestial Fox Ancestor.
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor was particularly enthusiastic in telling the story, recalling his daily life growing up with the Heavenly Fox Ancestor with great enthusiasm, from his tone of voice to his gestures and movements.
Zhao Ziyi's gossipy expression never stopped.
After eating the melon, he could immediately ask the melon owner for advice.
"Baby Ancestor, you really were..."
The three of them drank tea and ate dried meat, chatting from morning until afternoon.
In the afternoon, more than a hundred suppliers in the Void Refinement stage came to have lunch.
I watched them orderly get their food and eat.
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor finally confirmed that these two human cultivators were indeed quite good.
The Star Pivot Immortal Fox clan possesses the ability to observe life and comprehend the Dao through their innate talents, making them the best at discerning good from evil and truth from falsehood.
Being trusted by so many Star Pivot Immortal Foxes, Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi are indeed benevolent and righteous cultivators.
Moreover, the chaotic energy itself is not a good thing.
The peaceful and stable state of the chaotic energy within Song Chen's body is inseparable from their selfless sharing.
Without Zhao Ziyi and Song Chen's knowledge, the Azure Phoenix Ancestor labeled the two of them.
These two are extremely virtuous.

Laughing, I went to Su Jun to find oranges to taste.
