Chapter 29: Barbecue

Putting the spare spiritual plants in a small basket, the group of them went to go to the pharmacist to take a look at the injured little poor cat to see if its condition had improved.

Yintan who has taken the racoon cat to the Demon Emperor’s place, has now returned, and even the gaze he cast at Ye Jingxing has become even more meaningful.

He went to the Demon Emperor’s uncle to ask about this matter. Unexpectedly not only the person he intended to meet was not there, but the Demon Lord in seclusion was also awakened.

The demon Emperor didn’t say anything to him, but simply took the pot of catnip and said he would take a look.

“Have you met the Demon Emperor?” Yintan went straight to the point.

Xiao Hua nodded and briefly told him what had just happened. During the period, Yintan’s eyes fell on Ye Jingxing from time to time. When he learned that Ye Jingxing was the waste son of the Ye family, he went silent for a few seconds.

Ye Jingxing pursed his lips. For the very first time, he had the illusion of the chosen son of heaven. It seemed that the golden finger given by the crossing army had arrived too late.

He said, when did the crossing Bureau knock on the traverser like this?

After the two of them finished speaking, Ye Jingxing finally plugged in: “How is the kitten?”

“He has woken up.” Yintan said, making a way for them to get through.

Ye Jingxing took advantage of the situation and walked in.

The kitten had already woken up, and was looking in their direction from the lotus leaf. The wound on his body looked quite scary, there was no fur there, and his skin was ruined out of shape; he looked very pitiful.

He doesn’t seem to know what he has experienced.

“It should have been the crossing of the tribulation which caused the kitten to be struck by the lightning” Yintan also followed up. “A-Li was struck the last time he crossed the tribulation, and it took more than half a year for his cultivation to ease over.”

The little raccoon flower cat in Yintan’s arms echoed with a “meow”.

“It… what level is it?” Ye Jingxing stretched out a finger and gently poked the kitten’s only head that had not been burned. Although there was no fur on his body, the kitten’s skin was very soft and ugly.

“Meow.” The kitten’s voice is a little hoarse, weak, and very weak.

Yintan pursed his lips and said uncertainly: “… He doesn’t seem to have a cultivation base.”

Ye Jingxing was slightly stunned: “?”

The kitten took advantage of the situation and licked the fingers close to him, it was so fragrant.

Feeling the dampness of his fingertips, Ye Jingxing subconsciously curled his fingers slightly.

Shen Qiyao, who was staying in Ye Jingxing’s placket, glared at him fiercely. After the ragdoll cat incident, his temper has become worse and worse.

The kitten’s licking of his hands stiffened, and he shrank back silently.

No one noticed the little movements of the two cats, all their attention focused on Yintan’s words.

“It is very likely that it was struck by lightning.” Yintan did not sound very sure, as he cannot feel any cultivation from this kitten.

There were too many uncertainties in the process of crossing the tribulation. Some went crazy, some were struck to death by lightning, lost their bodies, and some were even directly annihilated.

It is a blessing in misfortune that this kitten can pick up a life.

Xiao Hua raised her hand and checked the kitten’s whole body with spiritual power, and regretted: “There really is no cultivation base.”

Shen Qiyao squinted and stared at this ugly junior.

He has obviously successfully advanced to the ninth level, but because he needs to recuperate for a year and a half to get well again, he has deliberately concealed his cultivation base and acts like a helpless cat in order to win their sympathy, deceiving both humans and demons with the highest cultivation bases of only the fifth level.

The current juniors… how pretentious they can be.

“Then can it still understand us?” Ye Jingxing bent over slightly and touched his burned beard.

The sphynx cat was stunned for a second, as if thinking about something, and finally nodded slightly.

People will sympathize with the weak, but sympathy is consumable. It is impossible for him to rely on sympathy to stay by the side of this good-smelling human being. The taste of this human being is very unusual. A simple catnip can make the conscious chaos become instantly awake and calms his heart demon.

But how did this ancestor… come out of the Dead City? Is it because of this human being?

“Fortunately, I am not stupid.” Xiao San leaned over.

“We’ll leave the cat with you first,” Xiao He looked at Yintan, “Xiao Ye will stay here for a while, and I will arrange another place for him.”

Yintan nodded and did not refuse.

Ye Jingxing straightened up, suddenly remembered something, touched the little black dumpling in his placket, and asked, ”When is the doctor I found for Xuan Xuan…”

“Let’s go tomorrow. I’ve already contacted them. I’ll also take this phynx cat over and have a look,” Xiao He said. “It’s getting late today.””

It was close to noon when Ye Jingxing and the others arrived at the Demon Realm. They then went to have a meal with Xiao He before flying to Baicao Garden in a crane. After a series of delays, the sun was about to go down.

Ye Jingxing nodded, “Let’s go to the kitchen.”

Yintan frowned slightly, “What are you doing in the kitchen?”

Ye Jingxing glanced at him, “What can I do in the kitchen?”

Xiao San replied: “Cook! He cooks very well.”

Yintan was about to say what he had eaten in the valley, when he suddenly remembered that the human cultivator in front of him had only practiced qi for three layers, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

“Shall we go together?” Ye Jingxing casually invited.

Finally, there are more people today. He wanted to cook the big squid he bought earlier. The open-air barbecue would be lovely. Although they were just friends who had just met, they were really happy to get along for a short time.

He thought Yintan would refuse, but he didn’t expect him to agree, with a faint “hmm”.

After casually marking an enchantment for the hairless cat, Yintan gathered the little raccoon flower cat in his arms: “Let’s go.”

The sphynx cat who was left alone: “…”

Is he that ugly?？？

Baicao Garden has only one kitchen. The kitchen has every necessary equipment, but there was almost no trace of use. Even all kinds of spices are full. They were dust-proof and very fresh.

Ye Jingxing glanced at it briefly and found that he had almost everything he needed, even a large bag of charcoal, which was just used for barbecue.

“When A-Li was injured in the robbery, Yintan would cook delicious food for her every day, so the utensils were relatively complete.” Xiao Hua explained.

Ye Jingxing nodded thoughtfully, and his gaze stayed on Yintan for several seconds.

He is a good man and can cook for his wife.

Yintan felt a little uncomfortable by his gaze, so he took the cat out of the kitchen. It was Ye Jingxing’s cooking tonight anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing him take out all kinds of seafood from the storage bag, Xiao Hua asked, “Is there anything we can do for you?”

Except for Ye Jingxing, everyone else here has been in the valley for a long time, and the desire for appetite is not very strong. Tonight was just for a party. In addition, the spiritual field’s affairs have made new progress. It’s a good time to be lively and celebrate together.

Ye Jingxing touched his chin and thought for a moment, “Yes.”

Barbecue is nothing more than those few steps; set up a barbecue grill, prepare skewers, sauces and tools, and just cook it directly.

Ye Jingxing handed over the task of setting up the barbecue to Xiao San and Xiao He, and the skewers were prepared by him and Xiao Hua. The sauces were adjusted when they were ready. It was not very urgent.

It’s hard to carry through, but you have to carry forward the food of the 21st century anyway.

The setting sun was slowly approaching the horizon, and the warm yellow light shines in through the doors and windows, coating the entire kitchen with softness. It is estimated that it will be dark the day after tomorrow when they are ready.

Xiao Hua is a very gentle lotus demon. She is as tall as Xiao He. Watching her move a bench to reach the desktop, Ye Jingxing felt as if he was using child labor.

This uneasiness was completely gone the moment Xiao Hua used a knife to easily solve a crab with a small arm length.

Ye Jingxing and Xiao Hua first carefully cleaned the seafood and Lingzhi twice. Some Lingzhi can be skewered and roasted directly, while others are used as seasoning to taste, and Ye Jingxing has classified them all.

Xiao He went to find the skewers for roasting. She said that there are a lot of sugar gourds sold in the demon world, so she would go and buy some.

“Mi.” The little black cat sniffed the big squid that Ye Jingxing had cleaned, and took a few steps back in disgust.

The human is going to use this thing to make food?

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingxing took out a large piece of sweet catnip and handed it to the little black dumpling, letting him hold it to pass the time, “Good boy.”

Seeing that Shen Qiyao couldn’t help much, instead hinder them, he simply “meowed” and picked up the catnip that Ye Jingxing had given him, and walked out on his short legs, ready to find a place to watch the sunset, and enjoy a period of loneliness; A meow life.

Glancing at the back of the little black cat, Ye Jingxing was not worried either. He let him go. There were Yintan and the others outside. Xuan Xuan was very good and wouldn’t run too far.

Just as Ye Jingxing was scalding the fish, there was a hysterical cat meowing outside. The moment Ye Jingxing heard this, he put down the kitchen knife and ran out.

Outside, the little raccoon flower cat was holding the piece of catnip that Ye Jingxing gave Ye Xuan Xuan in his mouth, and a trace of helplessness flashed in the cat’s eyes. He just wanted to tease this little black ball, just like how he teased other spirit beast cubs, how could he know that he reacted like this?

All the hairs on Xiao Heituan’er’s body exploded, and he stared at the raccoon cat very fiercely. When Ye Jingxing came over, he was very aggrieved and yelled at him with his short legs. “Miu Miu”.

This stupid cat dared to grab his food……

He had to, had to complain to Ye Jingxing well.

Yintan stood aside at a loss, and Xiao He, who had hurriedly arrived, was also stunned.

Everything happened so suddenly.

“Mi…” Ye Xuan Xuan walked his short legs and rubbed against Ye Jingxing’s legs, making a aggrieved and pitiful soft voice in his throat.

Ye Jingxing hurriedly hugged the kitten into the palm of his hand and comforted him, patting his fur.

The little black dumpling’s eyes were a little moist, and his little tail was slightly rolled up. He looked so pitiful that Ye Jingxing’s heart was seized when he saw it.
