Chapter 496: Say to bring the head, and just bring the head!
The Artifact Refining Palace in the Grand Sky Sect is a force to be reckoned with.If you talk about the artifact refining skills of the palace, everyone in the sect acknowledges the Ouyang Family's expertise.
There's nothing the Ouyang Family can't craft, only things you can't imagine.
But despite their formidable refining skills, no one associates the word "reliable" with the Ouyang Family.
The Ouyang Family is known for having no boundaries; there's nothing they won't do, only things they haven't thought of yet.
Just like now, when Chu Xinghe was considering whether to have a light breakfast at the Artifact Refining Palace, he witnessed a scene in the kitchen that left him speechless...
At this moment, a group of Ouyang Family members, looking like hungry ghosts with green eyes, filled the kitchen. This scene wasn't unusual... because every morning... every noon... every evening... every late night... you could almost always see this...
But the strange thing was that there wasn't a single chef in the Artifact Refining Palace at the moment. Isn't that a bit odd?
If you ask which palace in the Grand Sky Sect is the strongest, people could argue for half a year without reaching a conclusion.
But damn it, if you ask which palace has the most chefs, the Artifact Refining Palace stands alone!
Yet now, the palace known for its abundance of chefs didn't have a single one in sight. Isn't that a bit strange?
But what's even stranger is that a group of Nebula Spirit Cats was in the kitchen, some chopping vegetables... some stir-frying... some marinating...
Isn't this scene a bit too bizarre?
Just as Chu Xinghe was utterly confused, Ouyang Ming noticed Senior Brother Xinghe walking in.
"Come, come... Senior Brother Xinghe, try our Nebula Spirit Cat braised pork, it tastes amazing!"
Chu Xinghe was force-fed a piece of braised pork and was dumbfounded on the spot.
"It's delicious!"
"Right... Senior Brother Xinghe, you noticed too, the cooking skills of the Nebula Spirit Cats are much better than those chefs!"
"Ouyang, no problem, the taste is indeed better than what top chefs make!"
"Then have some more, Senior Brother Xinghe..."
"Okay, okay... okay what!"
Realizing what was happening, Chu Xinghe was stunned... Damn it, was I here to eat braised pork?
Seems like it...
No, wait... are the Nebula Spirit Cats meant to be chefs making braised pork for your Ouyang Family?
Can your Ouyang Family have some boundaries?
I can somewhat accept the strange Nebula Spirit Cats cultivated by other palaces...
But damn it, isn't the way your Ouyang Family cultivates them a bit too outrageous?
Previously, when you trained Nebula Spirit Cats in crafting, I, Chu Xinghe, had nothing to say. After all, Nebula Spirit Cats can even farm, so what's strange about them crafting spirit weapons?
But the problem is, turning Nebula Spirit Cats into chefs, isn't that a bit too much?
While eating the Nebula Spirit Cat braised pork, Chu Xinghe was teary-eyed, damn it, the Ouyang Family really doesn't do anything proper!
But... to be fair, the braised pork made by the Nebula Spirit Cats is really delicious and light.
With a speechless feeling towards the Ouyang Family, Chu Xinghe stopped eating after finishing eight bowls of braised pork, two pork knuckles, four rice dumplings, three bowls of lean meat porridge, six steamed buns, and twelve dumplings due to a lack of appetite.
Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe's poor appetite today, Ouyang Ming was also worried.
After all, Senior Brother Xinghe's mood is generally proportional to his appetite, and today, Senior Brother Xinghe's eating at our Ouyang Family is like he hasn't eaten at all, how bad must his mood be!
Just as Ouyang Ming was feeling uneasy, Chu Xinghe spoke up.
"This time, for the Spirit Beast Grand Prix, you're up!"
Ouyang Ming: "???"
Ignoring Ouyang Ming's wide-eyed, confused look, Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens, if I had known the Ouyang Family could train Nebula Spirit Cats to be chefs, would I have spent so many days racking my brains?
I would have just sent the entire Ouyang Family up!
Damn it, when a group of Ouyang Family's Nebula Spirit Cats shows up with kitchen knives... frying spoons... spatulas... and woks on stage, just say if it's shocking or not.
You talk about Feng Yuzheng's treasure-hunting spirit cat and Mu Bai's farming spirit cat, I might have some concerns, but tell me, what's there to worry about with the Ouyang Family's chef spirit cats?
What? Are their spirit cats going to chop their way up with kitchen knives or fry other spirit beasts on the spot with frying spoons?
You don't even need to watch the match; as soon as the Nebula Spirit Cats' "weapons" are revealed, won't it be embarrassing across the entire Blazing Sun Continent!
So for the remaining three slots, Chu Xinghe waved his hand, giving two to the Ouyang Family, and for the last one, I, Chu Xinghe, will personally take the stage!
Originally, considering the registration from all sides could allow ten people, but after thinking it over, it's too hard to find ten non-combatants in our Grand Sky Sect, so I changed it to a five-person team!
This is solid!
What? You say the Ouyang Family's Nebula Spirit Cats might have other abilities?
Blacksmithing?
You tell me, besides cooking and blacksmithing, what else can they do on stage? Damn it, the Spirit Beast Grand Prix is about combat power, it's a combat show!
We focus on combat, we're not a cooking show, nor a craftsman competition, tell me how we can lose this?
"Senior Brother Xinghe... it's not possible... I have no confidence at all... better find someone else..."
Ouyang Ming was scared to death.
What do you mean by letting our Nebula Spirit Cats participate in the Grand Prix?
Of course, Ouyang Ming knew about the Blazing Sun Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix.
Like all forces, the Grand Sky Sect would have five contestants with spirit beasts.
It's said that the sect has been fighting over these slots for days.
Even Dou Ding was rejected by Senior Brother Xinghe, and now Senior Brother Xinghe has his eyes on our Ouyang Family?
I, Ouyang Ming, have no confidence at all.
Seeing Ouyang Ming's desperate plea, Chu Xinghe was moved to tears.
Look at this... others have been showing off their Nebula Spirit Cats to me for a slot these days, each one more ferocious than the last.
Cyberpunk cats, venomous cats, enchanting cats, soul cats... each one more ruthless than the other.
Each one claiming they'll bring their heads if they don't win first place, An Lan even brought a head directly...
An Lan said, Saint... they're bluffing you, Saint, you're kind, don't be fooled by them.
They'll never bring their heads if they lose, only our Dark Moon Clan will, we say we'll bring heads, and we bring heads in advance...
If the Saint is not satisfied, I can bring more heads back, not just human heads, we have plenty of cat heads too!
Saint, just say what kind of head you want to see... you name it, our Dark Moon Clan will bring it on the spot!
To prove his determination, An Lan even brought his own head...
But look at the Ouyang Family, damn it, they stand out for not doing their proper job... these chef cats, crafting cats on stage, steady as a mountain!
And look at Ouyang Ming, acting like the sky is falling, Chu Xinghe was so excited he almost wet himself.
Ignoring Ouyang Ming's cries of "Senior Brother Xinghe, I really can't do it... please spare me..."
Chu Xinghe announced the five slots for the Grand Sky Sect's participation that day.
When they heard the Ouyang Family got two slots, all the palaces were dumbfounded!
What the hell? We can't understand Senior Brother Xinghe's move at all!
Feng Yuzheng and Mu Bai are somewhat normal, but what does it mean for the Ouyang Family to get two slots?
Of course, some people wondered if the Ouyang Family's Nebula Spirit Cats had some secret techniques we didn't know about?
Soon, everyone rushed to the Artifact Refining Palace, but they were all dumbfounded at what they saw...
Indeed... the Ouyang Family's Nebula Spirit Cats have secret techniques... their braised pork is particularly delicious...
Their marinated pork knuckles are fatty but not greasy...
Their stir-fried dishes are better than the chefs from other palaces.
But the problem is... what kind of secret technique is this?
Not to mention others, even Ma Liang, known as Senior Brother Xinghe's closest confidant, was confused.
Ma Liang carefully asked Ouyang Ming if he had confidence, but Ouyang Ming, let alone confidence, was so worried he only ate twenty-two bowls of cold noodles, eight pork knuckles, nine plates of stir-fried dishes, sixteen steamed buns, four flower rolls, ten fish... and it's said he didn't even eat the fish bones this time.
After hearing what Ouyang Ming ate, Ma Liang knew, this time Ouyang Ming really had no confidence, because such a small amount of food for Ouyang Ming is like fasting.
Ma Liang immediately found Senior Brother Xinghe, expressing that letting Ouyang Ming participate might be too outrageous? He has no confidence!
But to Ma Liang's confusion, Chu Xinghe spoke solemnly.
"Ma Liang... you seem to have forgotten what kind of person Ouyang Ming is. Since you've known Ouyang Ming, has he ever said he was confident about anything?"
Ma Liang shook his head...
"When the Ouyang Family joined our Grand Sky Sect, did Ouyang Ming have confidence?"
Ma Liang continued to shake his head...
"When Ou Yunsheng came to our Grand Sky Sect, did Ouyang Ming have confidence?"
Ma Liang shook his head again...
"When participating in the World Spirit Weapon Festival, did Ouyang Ming have confidence?"
Ma Liang just kept shaking his head...
"Exactly... when has Ouyang Ming ever lost when he said he had no confidence?"
Ma Liang shook his head in confusion...
"Besides, isn't the last slot for Senior Brother Xinghe to personally take the stage? With me in charge, isn't it solid?"
Ma Liang was moved to tears... But, Senior Brother Xinghe, I've never doubted your ability, but this is the Spirit Beast Grand Prix, have you forgotten, you don't even have a spirit beast, isn't it too outrageous for you to take the stage?
Although left with only shaking his head by Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Ma Liang still felt something was off, but the key problem was, he couldn't find any argument against Senior Brother Xinghe's words, and even felt that Senior Brother Xinghe made perfect sense.
Thinking it over, Ma Liang realized he was too shallow... Chu Xinghe's whimsical nature is well-known.
When has Senior Brother Xinghe ever not taken a whimsical approach?
So the more incomprehensible the method, the more it makes perfect sense for Senior Brother Xinghe, with him in action, even if Senior Brother Xinghe doesn't have a spirit beast, there's no way we can lose!
The news of the five slots quickly reached Sect Master Gu Mingchao.
To be honest, Gu Mingchao was bewildered when he first saw the list of participants.
Gu Mingchao just wanted to say, what kind of mess is this? Besides Xinghe, there's no one capable of fighting, right?
Wait... Xinghe seems to have no spirit beast?
But even though Xinghe doesn't have a spirit beast, Gu Mingchao still picked up the brush.
Since Xinghe chose them, there must be no problem... there's no need to think about why these people were chosen, just watch and see!
