Chapter 272 Party Begins
Chapter 272 Party Begins
Long Ming's knife moved as the sword intentionally shot like a sharp winds, slicing off the hides of the demonic beasts.
With high precision, he deboned the, separating the tender flesh from the bones.
Taking the bones, he threw them into huge woks, tossing them in his azure flames. They used the clear spring waters to boil the bones, making broth out of them.
His knife shone as he diced the meat into perfect slices, tossing them in flames till they got charred.
Preparing rice, noodles, sauces, and other things, Long Ming prepared them from scratch. He used precious herbs and meat of demonic beasts as ingredients and used his azure flames to cook the dishes.
" Now, A dash of my special Four Seasons True Wine. I will pour everything to prepare the dishes for this party."
It took more than eight hours for Long Ming to prepare for the feast. Everyone around the Solitary Flower Pear could inhale the aroma of the dishes, yet none of them were allowed to go up there.
Xiao'er and Chu Li were running errands for Long Ming and they couldn't help but get tired out. However, seeing Long Ming's enthusiasm, they couldn't stop themselves.
" Ugh, How can Senior Brother cook so well?" Chu Li kept wiping her drool as she inhaled the aroma.
" You have tasted Young Master's food, right? It tastes heavenly." Xiao'er sighed. " I feel both good and bad about this."
" Why is it, Sister Xiao'er?" Chu Li asked in a curious voice.
" Well, I obviously like Young Master's eating." Xiao'er smiled wryly. " However, I feel bad because I can't cook food of similar caliber to him."
" I mean, What sort of maid cooks worse than the master she serves?"
" Haha, I got it, Sister's Xiao'er." Chu Li grinned. " However, Senior Brother is just an anomaly. So, you shouldn't try competing with him."
" That's true though." Xiao'er giggled.
As night fell, the entire Four Seasons Valley was well decorated. The disciples fleeted from here to there, getting excited about the victory of the Sky Martial Tower.
Not long after, the flying boats of Four Seasons Valley returned back to the sect, making everyone excited.
" Look! Elder Meng and others have returned!"
" I guess we successfully managed to take down the Blissful Heaven Temple!"
Meng Zhi and the other elders descended from the flying boat as she saw Xia Yuqing and Wu Liang standing to welcome her back.
" Meng Zhi, Welcome back. You must be already tired." Xia Yuqing sighed as she saw the battered Meng Zhi, covered with stains of blood.
" Not at all, Sect Master Xia. I needed to clean up the remaining pest, lest they dare to raise their head and try to harm our sect." Meng Zhi smiled brightly.
" So, Let me report you the progress. First, more than half of the Blissful Heaven Temple has surrendered to us. Those who dared to resist were killed without mercy."
" I have set up the Sect Formation in the Blissful Heaven Temple. However, instead of protecting, it would work the same as a prison, unable to let them escape."
" Also, I have connected the teleportation formation of Blissful Heaven Temple with ours, so we can travel there instantly."
" Aaand…" Meng Zhi's grin became wide. " I also captured the Blissful Hall. So, No more competition for our Eternal Spring Towers."
As Meng Zhi was reporting with enthusiasm, Xia Yuqing suddenly walked forward and hugged Meng Zhi.
" Shhh…Meng Zhi, calm down. You already did enough. You should go and wash yourself."
" Sect Master Xia…"
" Won't you listen to your elder sister?" Xia Yuqing spoke softly, making Meng Zhi silent. Taking a step back, Meng Zhi looked around.
" Well, Where is my beloved little brother Long?" Meng Zhi asked playfully.
" Long Ming?" Xia Yuqing sighed with a chuckle. " He is preparing a feast for everyone."
" Oh, Really?" Meng Zhi couldn't help but get excited. " Then, I must not delay either. I should go and prepare myself for the banquet."
" Hmph, You aren't listening to Master. Yet the moment Long Ming's words came, you became so eager?" Mu Qinglian replied curtly.
Meng Zhi grinned to see the ever jealous Saintess. " Aw, Well Qingqing, the thing is…Little brother Long is so handsome. How can I not become eager for him?"
" Hmph, old hag…" Mu Qinglian muttered under her breath, turning around quickly.
Everyone chuckled at the banter as Meng Zhi and the other elders left. Everyone could not help but relax after fighting such a big war.
As the night fell, All the Core Disciples, Elders, Sect Master, Grand Elder, and Ancestors gathered in the Four Seasons Great Hall.
Xia Yuqing stood up from her seat as she looked at everyone.
" Everyone who has gathered here, Today, we have secured a huge victory. For years, we lost our former glory, like a gold whose outer layer was dimmed."
" For years, Sky Martial Tower and Blissful Heaven Temple kept offending us. For years, we have been suppressed by them."
" Whether in the guise of the spar, or assassination, many of our elders and disciples died."
" However, Today, We have defeated them!" Xia Yuqing raised her voice, making everyone's blood boil with excitement.
" Today, We defeated our ages long enemies, and took a step back to reach the former glory we had a thousand years ago."
" And, everything happened due to effor of everyone. For this, I, Xia Yuqing, bow before all of you."
Cupping her fist, Xia Yuqing bowed. In return, everyone bowed further.
" Sect Master, Please don't low your back for us."
" Indeed, If it wasn't for your leadership, we would have ruined already."
" Sect Master, You are my idol!"
Xia Yuqing smiled as she saw everyone's enthusiasm. Bai He walked forward as she patted Xia Yuqing.
" You did well, Yuqing. I guess the decision of previous Sect Master was truly right. He had the vision, he saw the potential in you which many of us missed."
" And, I thank you for this, for keeping this sect alive."
" Alright, Everyone, We have done enough of boring…I mean…
victory speech."
A voice broke everyone's immersion as they looked at the main gate, seeing Long Ming walking inside.
" Now, Time for the main attraction of the banquet…which is…
Food!"
With a clap of hand, Long Ming led everyone to the dining room, where everything were decorated already.
Female disciples came row after row, each holding a lot of platters.
" Begin serving!" Long Ming gave order with a grin. " I hope all of you would enjoy the dinner."
