Chapter 611: Attention, The Expert Wants To Eat With Everyone
“Slow down, line up all the food, don’t mess it up.”
As they neared the place, Cultivator Junjuun directed Yang Jian.
Yang Jian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already cut off their sentience, they’re easy enough to control.”
Seeing that, Cultivator Junjun walked up and knocked on the door.
Xiao Bai opened the door.
Cultivator Junjun and the others politely said, “Lord Saint, we’re here again. Sorry for disturbing you.”
“There’s no need to worry, your arrival is a gift, welcome.”
Li Nianfan laughed, flashing Nuwa and the others a friendly smile.
However, the next moment, he noticed the long line behind them. His eyes widened, showing a shocked expression.
Most of it was excitement.
He said, “You could have just come empty handed, there was no need for so many delicacies.”
‘A world of cultivation, there are many strange and valuable beasts. I’ve sampled countless types, and even eaten dragons and Qilins, but…there are far too many delicacies here!’
‘To eat one, and then another…’
‘I’ve constantly been eating.’
Thinking about it, Li Nianfan had a moment of realization.
He no longer stopped at eating up a whole world, he’s been eating from even outside the universe. There were naturally many different species. For instance, there might be tens and thousands of different chickens…
That sounded good!
Li Nianfan looked at the wildlife that were queued up in a line, appraising them as hundreds of ways of eating them surfaced in his mind. He felt his anticipation grow.
That pig looked like it had very good meat, especially the tail, it was obvious from a glance that it was good.
Hey, there was also a rock, it looked quite majestic. It would definitely be a good ingredient for a soup.
There were also some animals that looked like they were on fire, and had the outer appearance of a deer. They looked very majestic, and just a glance got the appetite going…
It was great having capable men beside him, it really showed the strength of being in a good relationship with people.
Li Nianfan nodded in satisfaction, smiling as he said, “Not bad, not bad.”
Seeing the situation, Cultivator Junjun and the others let out a sigh of relief as they smiled.
The expert’s praise was their greatest motivation, and they felt incredibly proud.
Jude Emperor said, “that group of delicacies were causing trouble, and we happened to catch them. It’s great that you’re pleased with it.”
Li Nianfan looked at all of them, and his eyes had a thoughtful look as he said, “Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since we all gathered to eat.”
He felt like only taking and not giving was impolite.
Cultivator Junjun and the others had captured those animals and brought them for him, what was their purpose?
Was their purpose not his cooking skills?
They probably did not say it because they were shy, but with Li Nianfan’s personality, he would definitely need to treat them to a meal.
With that in mind, he suggested, “Emperor, it’s rare to have so many delicacies, just my place alone won’t be able to finish them. I wonder if everyone would be free to have a meal together?”
A meal?
Cultivator Junjun and the others suddenly trembled, and their faces burned red.
Was a meal with the expert just a meal?
It was a heavenly blessing!
It was something that you would force yourself to have time for! You would even crawl out of your grave for it!
Jade Emperor’s voice was trembling a little as he hurriedly said, “We’ll be free. I can arrange it immediately, I’m sorry for troubling you, Lord Saint.”
“It’s nothing much.”
Li Nianfan waved it off, smiling as he said, “You’re so stressed at work, and your responsibilities are so heavy. You’ve saved countless beings. My abilities are limited, and I can only treat you to a meal. It’s just a small effort.”
Looking at the news lately, Li Nianfan saw a lot of things, and his heart made him want to treat them to a meal.
Everyone was touched and proud when they heard that.
‘The expert clearly understands our pain, and he also seemed happy with our work. That’s why he’s rewarding us with this meal!’
Being able to meet the expert really is the greatest blessing!
Cultivator Junjun thought about it and said, “Lord Saint, where should we hold the meal?”
Li Nianfan could not help but raise his eyebrow, thinking about it.
Since it would be a dinner party with most of the Heavenly Palace’s immortals in attendance, there would definitely be many people. It would not do to hold it here, it would be too crowded.
The pond where they held the peach feast?
However…they’ve already eaten there before. The world was so large, Li Nianfan wanted to look at it all, so he did not want to have it at the same place.
After a moment, he said, “I looked at the news and heart that Juling Shen moved mountains, using tree mountains to suppress a raging river and saved the locals from the floods, is that true?”
Jade Emperor hurried and said, “I heard that the Raging River was a dangerous place, but an important water source for the north. It extends to over a thousand lakes, I feel like taking a look.”
Cultivator Junjun heard the expert’s thoughts and suddenly shuddered, saying, “Lord Saint, what a coincidence, I was just thinking about having dinner there.”
Jade Emperor hurriedly said, “It’s quite a good place for a dinner, and I had wanted to go look at how Juling Shen was doing.”
Li Nianfan said excitedly, “That’s great, let’s make it so then. I’ll prepare the ingredients and head right over.”
“Lord Saint, we shall go make our preparations as well.”
Cultivator Junjun and the others shouted out their pleasantries before leaving to prepare.
The expert was hosting a dinner party!
The moment the news spread, the whole Heavenly Palace exploded!
“What a great opportunity! The expert is giving us another opportunity!”
“How exciting, how many, how nervous, how anxious…”
“Everyone prepare yourselves well. I expect a good performance during the dinner. Whoever drops the ball will have to make a trip to hell!”
“Hurry up and go invite Chang’e, we’ll have them give a good performance, the events must be interesting!”
“Juling Shen, Juling Shen!”
Taibai Jinxing was so busy his head spun, and he was shouting within the crowd.
Juling Shen finally snapped back to reality.
‘The expert wants to go to the Raging River. That’s where I solved the flood! The expert wants to inspect my work!’
‘The expert has his attention on me!’
‘Ah, I’m too emotional!’
Taibai Jinxing panted as he said anxiously, “How could you have the time to still be idling around?”
Juling Shen said, “Old man, what is it? I’m too excited.”
“It’s not the time to get excited!”
Taibai Jinxing’s tone was serious as he said, “The emperor asked me to come and tell you to hurry up and take a look at Raging River. Make sure there are no mistakes, and the security has to be perfect!”
Juling Shen’s heart jumped, and he hurriedly nodded. “That’s right, I have to hurry up and go check it!”
If there were any problems in Raging River, or if anything happened to cause the expert to be unhappy, then he would never be able to wash his sins off!
“Yang Jian, Xiao Chengfeng, Ye Liuyun, brothers, follow me to inspect Raging River, we have to be detailed!”
“Bring along a few more people.”
“Clear the location, make sure the place is completely clean!”
…
In the four-point courtyard.
Li Nianfan had already prepared his pots and pans, and various ingredients. He was also bringing quite a few fruits and wines, and prepared to leave.
This time, the whole place was leaving, even Xiao Bai was being brought along.
After all, there was a lot of work to do.
Li Nianfan rode the Deluxe Merit Cloud and headed straight for Raging River.
He happened to notice Jiang Liu who was chopping wood at the foot of the mountain alone. After thinking about it, he brought Jiang Liu along, and the firewood as well.
Jiang Liu was surprised at being shown that kindness, and was incredibly touched.
When they arrived at Raging River, most of the immortals were already there. Everyone immediately looked at Li Nianfan, and let out respectful smiles.
Li Nianfan did not know that, a hundred thousand miles around Raging River had all been guarded by a hundred thousand guards, and there were also a lot of ghosts surveilling the area.
Even the demons around the area were all warned, and were not allowed to wander around!
Each of them was trembling in their caves, and they all guessed that there must be some heavenly figure arriving.
Juling Shen and the others immediately walked forward, bowing as they said, “We greet Lord Saint.”
Li Nianfan smiled. “Everyone, it’s been a long time.”
Chang’e, the seven fairies, Black and White Impermanence, Cow Horse, they were all old friends.
It caused Li Nianfan to feel a sense of warmth.
Everyone exchanged greetings.
Li Nianfan would occasionally look around the surroundings, and would lament mildly. The Heavenly Palace’s arrangements were a little extravagant.
Raging River, as the name would suggest, had raging waves all day long. The waterfalls were even more exaggerated than the milky way, and the river flow never seemed to tire. It was incredibly turbulent.
As the waves hit the shore, it was like thousands of horses and soldiers that were constantly marching, causing people to feel the strength and beauty of nature.
The location of the dinner would be by the river. Li Nianfan stood there, and felt the water vapor hit his face, feeling the power of water.
Looking around, he could not see an end to the flowing water, which was extraordinary!
However, at that moment, on the shore bloomed colorful flowers. The flowers were incredibly beautiful, and expanded in the horizons.
Other than that, a luxurious dance stage had also been erected…
There were many little fairies with butterfly wings dancing around the flowers, playing around as they took care of them.
It was obvious that it was the work of the Heavenly Palace.
Immortals were so luxurious.
They had the power to do as they pleased.
Juling Shen walked over, resisting his excitement as he said, “Lord Saint, the three mountains over there were moved by us.”
The mountains were not small, each of them were over a thousand feet tall, and their roots were massive. It was enough to be considered a whole region of mountains.
Li Nianfan nodded, smiling. “Not bad, it looks quite professional.”
The three mountains not only held back the water, it even gave the place a different kind of scenery, with numerous waterfalls falling from the mountains.
“Thank you for your praise.”
Juling Shen suddenly seemed incredibly energetic. His face was full of smiles, and he felt incredibly proud.
He then said, “Lord Saint, the mountain in the middle was originally a little village. It disrupted their lives, and the leader was even an old man, so I helped them move over here.”
Li Nianfan had a weird expression on his face.
Why did that story sound so familiar?
He could not help but praise. “Not bad, you killed two birds with one stone. I have to praise you for it, you should drink more wine later.”
Juling Shen was ecstatic, and said, full of emotion, “Thank you, Lord Said.”
Li Nianfan looked at the time. “Alright, let’s start cooking!”
At that moment, another group of people busied themselves along the Raging River.
Li Nianfan, Xiao Bai, and Food God all started to prepare the ingredients. The others then helped with starting the fire, handling the pots, running…
They were suddenly bustling with activity, and felt incredibly happy.
Li Nianfan looked at Nanan and Dragin who were right next to him, smiling as he said, “Go pick out what you want to eat, and I’ll help you cook them.”
“Yay! Brother is too awesome.”
They cried in joy, and hurried over to pick out some delicacies.
After a bit, Nanan carried two pig ears that looked like fans. “Big brother, I want the ears, they’re crunchy to bite, and taste good!”
Dragin ran over as well, in his hands were the ingredients. “Big brother, I want to eat this cow’s tongue, it’s soft and nice. Also, this lamb rack smells so good, can I have both?”
He really raised two gluttons, they knew how to eat.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Of course you can.”
Blackie also ran over with a rabbit head in his mouth. “Master, master, I want this rabbit head, it’s the best thing in the world!”
Daji and Fire Phoenix walked over as well, and were much more composed. “Master, we’ve never eaten these pangolins before, we wish to try it out.”
“There’s no rush, slowly, everyone will get something to eat.”
Li Nianfan smiled, he was very happy and proud that his cooking could bring everyone happiness.
Among them, Jiang Liu stayed silent because of Li Nianfan’s words, and was completely shocked, staring dumbfounded at the ‘delicacies’ everyone was talking about.
It was not hard to tell from the aura that those delicacies were at least Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal Deities!
Other than that, there were two Heavenly Realm Deities!
So many experts were being used for…a dinner party?
All he could say was, it really is the expert.
During this time, he had also heard that the expert enjoyed eating wild game.
He had thought that Old Dragon bringing South Shadow Guard over had just been a chance encounter, but now he realized that Heavenly Realm demons were just a regular meal for the expert…
‘What rights do I have to be part of such a meal?!’
‘My eyes have been opened, my whole world has exploded!’
Suddenly, his nose twitched, and he took a deep breath.
Without any warning, he started to salivate, and even started to drool.
Drip drip…
“My god, it’s so fragrant! It smells too good!”
Jiang Liu had goosebumps, and every inch of his body was shaking, as if all of them arrived at the same conclusion… He wanted to eat!
How could there be such fragrant dishes in the world?
No matter how firm one’s will was, facing that fragrance would destroy anyone’s Dao Heart!
‘Ah, I can’t take it anymore, I’m so hungry, I want to eat!’
