God of Cooking, Monster: No, we have become ingredients

Bai Yuan's heart was filled with endless grievances, and he was thinking to himself.

"This is obviously a trouble you caused yourself. It has nothing to do with me."

However, he didn't dare to express these thoughts easily, so he could only stand there with a look of grievance on his face, his lips tightly closed, and said nothing.

After all, if you don’t know how to respond, then perhaps remaining silent is the wisest option.

At this moment, Bai Yuan's face showed an expression of despair and complete giving up of resistance, as if he was indifferent to everything happening around him.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Huang stopped teasing him.

In fact, the main reason why Mr. Huang acted like this was because the ignorant kid from the Li family actually tried to become Ye Changqing's protector, which really made Mr. Huang quite unhappy.

Especially since Ye Changqing agreed without hesitation, this made Mr. Huang even more dissatisfied.

You know, when facing myself, Ye Changqing always seems hesitant; but when dealing with the kid from the Li family, he can agree so readily.

Could it be that Mr. Huang was not as good as the young boy from the Li family? Back then, Mr. Huang was galloping across the fairy world with great majesty, while the boy from the Li family was probably still in his cradle and crying for food.

Now you dare to compete with me, you are simply overestimating your own abilities!

Thinking of this, Mr. Huang couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Humph, a dignified deputy city lord is actually acting like a delicate woman here. Never mind, let me be Ye Changqing's protector, and you can arrange the specific matters."

Hearing what Mr. Huang said, Bai Yuan quickly responded respectfully.

"Yes."

After hearing this, Bai Yuan did not dare to be negligent and nodded quickly to agree.

Even though I was just a little "teased" by Mr. Huang, the final outcome was still quite good.

Mr. Huang just waved his hand casually, indicating that Bai Yuan could leave.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan turned around and left the coastal area very obediently and tactfully.

He didn't realize at this moment that not long ago, Mr. Huang had officially become Ye Changqing's protector.

On the other side, the young man and Mr. Hei were sitting together leisurely drinking tea and chatting after finishing their meal.

The old and the young sat opposite each other in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

However, they both firmly believed that a man of Huang Lao's respected status and unfathomable strength would never easily act as anyone's protector.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, the young man suddenly spoke.

"Now that this boy surnamed Ye has been promoted to the fourth young city lord, it is only logical that I, as his senior brother, should take the initiative to pay him a visit."

Upon hearing this, Hei Lao simply glanced at the young man beside him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a half-smile, but he did not refute it.

After all, in this Kitchen King Fairy City, there are currently four young city lords, including Ye Changqing.

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone there are four "tigers" here? As the young city lord, there is naturally a fierce competition between the four people.

Obviously, the hidden intention behind the young man's words was to take the opportunity to intimidate the emerging Ye Changqing and let him know that he was not someone who could be easily messed with.

As a protector, he naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, he and the young man were in the same boat, and they would prosper and suffer together.

After seeing Hei Lao nodded in agreement, the young man immediately smiled happily, his mouth wide open, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, as if the sunlight was infected by his smile and became even brighter.

At dusk that day, the setting sun was as red as blood, dyeing the sky red.

The young man walked with steady steps and arrived at the door of Qiankun Fire Hall as quickly as a breeze.

Before he could open his mouth to report, someone inside had already received the news and hurried out to greet him.

It turned out that upon learning that this young man was coming, even the hall master Ma Qiankun did not dare to be negligent and went out to greet him personally.

When Ma Qiankun saw the imposing and elegant young man in front of him, he hurriedly walked forward and bowed with a smile on his face.

"Oh my, it turns out that it is the Young City Lord who has come to visit. This really brings honor to my humble Qiankun Fire Hall."

Seeing this, the young man quickly reached out to help and said with a smile.

"Elder Ma, you are too polite. I came to your hall today especially to visit Junior Brother Ye. I heard that he successfully passed the assessment for the Young City Lord and became the fourth Young City Lord of our Kitchen King Immortal City. How can I not come and congratulate him in person on such a happy occasion?"

Although he said he was here to congratulate, Ma Qiankun could hear the hidden meaning in his words. He thought to himself.

"Looking at this posture, this young city lord may have come with ill intentions..."

However, although he knew that the other party had ulterior motives, the other party was of noble status after all, and had come to visit him in person. Even if he wanted to stop him, he could not find a suitable reason or excuse for a while.

Just as Ma Qiankun was racking his brains to think about how to respond, the young man didn't give him time to think at all. He just flicked his sleeves and said something.

"It's okay. This young city lord has a close relationship with Junior Brother Ye, so there's no need to bother Elder Ma to report it. I'll go in and find him myself."

Before he finished speaking, he had already strode into the Qiankun Fire Hall with big strides.

After walking all the way, they finally arrived at the quiet courtyard where Ye Changqing lived.

The visitor didn't even knock on the door, but pushed it open without any hesitation and strode in.

At this time, Ye Changqing in the yard was leaning leisurely on an exquisite lounge chair with his eyes closed.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person who came in with a calm gaze.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Ye Changqing carefully looked at the strange young man in front of him, wondering who he was and why he broke into his house so abruptly. The young man standing at the door also looked at Ye Changqing, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Looking at the uninvited guest who had broken in without permission, Ye Changqing couldn't help but frown slightly.

Especially when he heard the other party call himself his senior brother right from the start, he felt a little unhappy.

However, before Ye Changqing could open his mouth to speak, the young man named Wu Zhong spoke first.

"Junior Brother Ye, I am Wu Zhong, the young city lord of this Kitchen King Immortal City. So, I am your senior brother."

After saying that, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Ye Changqing's brows were still tightly furrowed. He really felt a little disgusted with Wu Zhong's behavior of impatiently claiming to be his senior brother as soon as they met.

So, he responded in an extremely indifferent tone.

"so what?"

There was no mercy shown to the other party in his words.

As if not noticing the coldness and resistance in Ye Changqing's words, Wu Zhong continued to speak to himself.

"Haha, Junior Brother, don't you want to invite me to sit down? And you can cook a table of delicious food yourself to entertain Senior Brother... Of course, there will also be me, your protector."

Having said this, he turned slightly to the side, and saw an old man in a black robe with a slightly gloomy face suddenly appear in the yard like a ghost.

As soon as he appeared, a sense of oppression enveloped Ye Changqing, giving him a show of force.
