Chapter 1115: Chapter 114 Meng Jingzhou’s Day of Suffering

After reminding Xin Ding to be diligent in his cultivation and the Heavenly Vault Saint Master to fully commit to his role as a teacher, Lu Yang floated away, as if he had never been there at all.

Only Xin Ding and the Heavenly Vault Saint Master were left, staring at each other in confusion.

The power of an Immortal is indeed immeasurable.

Just as Lu Yang was preparing to leave Western Heaven City, he suddenly sensed a familiar presence within the city and revealed a meaningful smile.

...

"Excuse me, sir, what do you mean by ordering the best mush hotpot and then only taking one bite before not eating anymore?" the restaurant owner squinted, blocking the path of the customer who was trying to leave and showing a fierce look.

The customer looked displeased: "If the food you make is unpalatable, can you blame me for not eating it?"

"What do you mean unpalatable? Clearly, you’re just finding an excuse to ruin our reputation!" the restaurant owner retorted angrily.

"What? Someone is dissatisfied with my cooking?" A burly man with dense hair on his arm, as thick as that on his head and dough still clinging to his fingers, came out from the back kitchen.

The restaurant owner proudly introduced him: "Our chef has participated in the Spirit Chef competition before, so I need not say more about his skills, right?"

The argument between the three quickly drew the attention of the surrounding diners. In reality, they also thought that the mush hotpot of this restaurant was mediocre, but given the chef’s reputation, if they said it tasted bad, it would seem like they were the ones lacking taste.

The customer was so frustrated that his teeth itched, and had it not been for the sake of face, he would have dropped his disguise long ago.

"What’s wrong, can’t I say it if it tastes bad?" A resonant voice rang out, echoing through the restaurant.

A tall figure stepped into the restaurant with his back to the sun, and after tasting the mush hotpot, he confirmed it was indeed unpalatable, even more so than the last mush hotpot he had eaten.

"It’s Lu Yang!" the diners exclaimed in surprise at the identity of the newcomer.

The restaurant owner was still in denial and snorted coldly, "So what if it’s Lu Yang? As far as I know, the Seek Dao Sect doesn’t even qualify to participate in the Spirit Chef competition, so what authority does he have to critique our hotpot!"

What the restaurant owner failed to notice was that the chef trembled like a sieve the moment he saw Lu Yang, not daring to look directly into Lu Yang’s eyes.

"Not qualified?"

Unintentionally, Lu Yang loosened the cloth wrapped around his arm, revealing a sleeve embroidered with five golden stars.

"That’s the insignia of a Five Star Spirit Chef!" a diner shouted in shock.

"That’s not right, I’ve seen the insignia of a Five Star Spirit Chef before, and the stars weren’t this color!"

"Ignorant fools, that is the golden constellation insignia, awarded only to those at the pinnacle of Five Star Spirit Chefs!" a seasoned diner scolded.

"What?!"

Lu Yang approached the restaurant owner step by step. Though he released no aura, in the owner’s eyes, Lu Yang seemed like a beast from ancient times, invoking an immense sense of oppression.

"Do I qualify now?"

The restaurant owner numbly nodded his head.

Lu Yang then turned to the trembling chef and asked, "You said you’ve participated in the Spirit Chef competition? Which team were you on, as I haven’t seen you before?"

"I, I was a spectator." The chef had watched from the beginning to the end and knew Lu Yang’s identity, Immortal Chef’s Successor, leader of the Five Star Spirit Chef Team, and dared not hide anything in Lu Yang’s presence.

Lu Yang nodded, knowing there had to be an issue; the Spirit Chef Alliance did not have a chef from the Buddha Country.

Then, Lu Yang beckoned, calling out to his companion, "Old Meng, let’s go."

The two disappeared from everyone’s view.

While returning to the Sect on the way through the great desert, Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang as if he had seen a ghost: "Since when did you become a Five Star Spirit Chef, let alone the leader?"

Those two had known each other for how many years now? What else could Lu Yang, that rascal, do besides grill mutton kebabs?

"It was just showing off a bit during the Spirit Chef competition; I accidentally won," Lu Yang said nonchalantly.

Meng Jingzhou felt that the waters of the Spirit Chef Alliance ran deep.

Seeing Meng Jingzhou maintaining his disguise, Lu Yang, somewhat perplexed, pointed and broke through the disguise, revealing Meng Jingzhou’s shiny bald head with six dots of ordination on top.

Lu Yang immediately burst out laughing, "Hahaha, how did you go bald? Have you really become a monk?"

Lu Yang tried to touch Old Meng’s head but was impatiently slapped away by Meng Jingzhou, "Scram, scram, scram."

"Wasn’t it because I received a mission? They said someone’s daughter had gone missing in Buddha Country. I followed the clues here to search for her and had to infiltrate a temple, so I had no choice but to shave my head."

"Did you find the person who went missing?"

"Found her. She hadn’t gone missing at all; she had eloped with a member of the Demon Race. I followed the trail they left all the way to the vicinity of Western Heaven City, and that’s where I found them. I told them to come back with me to Great Xia and get married properly; no harm done. But they wouldn’t listen and even claimed their love was free."

"I couldn’t be bothered to explain, so I just took the daughter. That Demon Race youngster had some cultivation level and, his eyes red with rage, insisted on having a go at me. As if his little cultivation level could beat me! I slapped the lad and sent him flying."

"After delivering the daughter to her father, I swung by the Western Paradise Temple to try out their mutton hotpot, and there I bumped into you."

Lu Yang flicked his finger, using the Eternity Technique to help Meng Jingzhou grow his hair back, and soon Meng Jingzhou once again had a head full of thick hair.

Meng Jingzhou happily stroked his hair, "Your cultivation level has really improved, eh? You can use the Eternity Technique without even running into me."

"Not bad, I guess. I’ve had some insights in my recent cultivation and made some progress. It’s not much but definitely better than you."

"Oh?" A strong combat spirit flashed in Meng Jingzhou’s eyes, "Getting cocky after becoming a cook, are you?"

Lu Yang still had that smile, "I can fight you with one hand tied behind my back."

"I don’t need your charity; give it all you’ve got!"

Meng Jingzhou bellowed, activating the Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Image, a hundred-foot-tall Dharma Aspect wielding spear and shield, awe-inspiring.

Then Meng Jingzhou saw Lu Yang use Law of Heaven and Earth, transforming into a giant tens of thousands of feet tall, and stepping over with one foot, which was even larger than his own Dharma Aspect.

Meng Jingzhou fiercely remembered the things Lu Yang had bragged about.

"Old Lu, you damn became an Immortal in Buddha Country, shameless!"

Lu Yang’s thunderous, dull voice came from above Meng Jingzhou’s head:

"If you can’t win, admit it. No excuses."

With one foot stomping down, Meng Jingzhou was squashed back to his original form.

Meng Jingzhou climbed out of the sand pit, dirty and disgruntled, cursing at Lu Yang, "Lu Yang, you son of a..."

A stunningly beautiful woman in a sky-blue dress flew out of Lu Yang’s body, stopping Meng Jingzhou’s outburst, "Don’t use foul language."

The elders are still watching in the Spiritual Space; even scolding Lu Yang shouldn’t be in front of the elders; it would dirty their ears.

After saying that, Qinghe returned to the Spiritual Space, leaving Meng Jingzhou dumbfounded.

"Did you swap out someone in your Spiritual Space?"

Lu Yang sighed, "No, just added one more person."

Meng Jingzhou’s eyes widened. How popular was this kid Lu Yang’s Spiritual Space that not only had he gained a new tenant, but the tenant was such a peerless beauty?

The two left Buddha Country and returned to the Seek Dao Sect. Just as they entered the Sect, they saw Yun Mengmeng, Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, and Jin Caiwei welcoming Lu Yang back.

Meng Jingzhou: "..."
