Chapter 2239 - 2198: Is It Wrong to Be Ugly?

Xu Sanpang saw Jiangh Hongtao, the son of the Sect Leader, insulting Wang Xiaoqiang and was indignant on his behalf, saying, "Little Qiang can't cook, but he can make desserts. Besides, cooking and cultivation are two different things. Is it that people who can't cook can't cultivate?"

Xu Sanpang's words left everyone stunned. Jiangh Hongtao's face immediately changed. He didn't expect a small miscellaneous servant from the kitchen room to dare talk back to him. Instantly, he released his Divine Sense and locked onto Xu Sanpang,

He was in the Three Souls of Heavenly Beings Stage, while Xu Sanpang was only in the One Soul of Heavenly Beings Stage, completely unable to resist his Divine Sense's pressure, not to mention she didn't dare to resist. Under that powerful pressure, Xu Sanpang's dark face turned red, sweat appeared on her forehead, and she was panting like a bull.

Just like many people, Jiangh Hongtao thought Xu Sanpang was a man. After locking onto her with his Divine Sense, he coldly glanced at Xu Sanpang and scolded, "Hmph, you stinking boy, how dare a lowly miscellaneous servant like you, at just One Soul of Heavenly Beings cultivation, talk back to me! Do you believe I can crush you like an ant..."

"Is your brain malfunctioning, and are your eyes broken? She's obviously a woman, yet you see her as a man." Wang Xiaoqiang took a step forward, standing in front of Xu Sanpang, releasing his own Divine Sense to fend off Jiangh Hongtao's.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang hid his cultivation with the Spiritual Spring, his cultivation base had already reached the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings. His powerful Divine Sense, once released, immediately pushed back Jiangh Hongtao's Divine Sense.

Jiangh Hongtao was greatly surprised, his face turning pale and looking somewhat embarrassed.

Everyone was also greatly surprised because Wang Xiaoqiang was at the One Soul of Heavenly Beings Realm. Logically, he should be as helpless as Xu Sanpang, overpowered by Jiangh Hongtao's Divine Sense at the Three Souls of Heavenly Beings Stage. How could he push back his Divine Sense?

But what shocked Jiangh Hongtao wasn't just Wang Xiaoqiang's powerful Divine Sense; he was more astonished by Xu Sanpang's gender. He turned his eyes to Xu Sanpang and exclaimed in amazement, "You, you're a woman?"

"What's wrong? My Senior Sister Xu is so gentle, so feminine. Can't you see that?" Wang Xiaoqiang said,

"Hmph, yes, do you have eye problems or what?" Xu Sanpang, with fingers like sausages, lifted her chin, striking a pose of vanity and giving a deeply feminine smile.

This smile was, compared to before, even more horrific.

Seeing this smile, Jiangh Hongtao's eyes bulged, mouth opened, and he vomited with a "waa" sound, then leaned over the table and started to vomit violently, contaminating the food in front of him.

It wasn't just Jiangh Hongtao; the entire Jiangh Family, upon seeing Xu Sanpang's smile, all leaned over the table and began to vomit violently.

Unlike them, the men from the kitchen, being lower-tier members of the Five Elements Sect, were familiar with ugly things, and being in contact with Xu Sanpang daily, had developed immunity to her smile.

The Jiangh family seldom saw Xu Sanpang and even when they did, always regarded her as a man. They had no idea she was a woman and an ugly one at that.

Her being ugly was one thing, but now she made such a gruesome smile; how could they endure it? They felt their stomachs churn, sourness bubbling up, gushing from both mouth and nose, and they started to vomit violently. At this point, it wasn't just about maintaining their dignity; the sheer pain of vomiting made them feel it wasn't worth it, especially with all the food on the table spoiled.

Zhang Dapang and the others couldn't afford to worry about the hard-prepared meal at this point. They were full of fear, because everyone could sense that a storm was coming, and the Sect Leader's family was certain to unleash a thunderous wrath.

Besides Wang Xiaoqiang, everyone in the kitchen was terrified, not daring to move. Wang Xiaoqiang displayed deep caution, ready at any moment to suck the Spiritual Spring into his body and release two Dead Spirit Puppets for attack.

At this moment...

The Sect Leader Jiangh Hongtao, after stopping his vomit, swept his cold gaze over the kitchen occupants, not daring to rest his eyes on Xu Sanpang lest he start vomiting again. With disgust, he said, "Stinking woman, do you want to kill us? You're so ugly, yet dare to smile like that..."

As he spoke, a murderous look appeared in his eyes. In his opinion, a woman so ugly, causing his whole family to vomit like that, deserved to die.

"Is it a crime for a woman to be ugly?" Wang Xiaoqiang stared directly at Jiangh Hongtao and said.

This started because of him; Xu Sanpang offended Jiangh Hongtao on his behalf. If Xu Sanpang suffered persecution because of this, he certainly couldn't just stand by.

"Boy, you dare talk back again and again. You really deserve to die..." Jiangh Hongtao said, releasing his Divine Sense once more to lock onto Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang also released his Divine Sense in resistance.

Jiangh Hongtao didn't expect Wang Xiaoqiang would still dare to resist his Divine Sense pressure now and leaped up in fury, about to unleash a killing move when the Sect Leader's wife, Lin Mengchu, shouted, "Tao'er, stop."

Jiangh Hongtao had to stop, but his eyes turned red, staring fiercely at Wang Xiaoqiang with murderous intent. It was clear he'd killed people before.

The smell of vomit made the Jiangh Family nauseous again, and they couldn't bear to stay a second longer, quickly covering their noses as they left,

Sect Leader Jiangh Zifang, as he commanded his pet beast to leave the small dining area, said, "Listen up, you have a quarter of an hour to prepare another table of dishes. The quality must not be lower than this table, or you will be punished..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhang Dapang quickly responded.

After the Jiangh Family left the small dining area, everyone in the kitchen except Wang Xiaoqiang breathed a long sigh of relief, as if granted a pardon. But they were all curious as to why the Sect Leader let them go so easily without immediately punishing them.

Wang Xiaoqiang, as if reading everyone's curiosity, said, "No one can stand without trust. The Sect Leader has the dignity of a leader, and of course can support a Great Sect. It's still through his prestige. We haven't done anything wrong, so he can't just punish us for no reason. If he punishes us without cause, he'll be scolded and lose all prestige..."

"Yes, Little Qiang is right, but the Sect Leader has set us a task that we must complete. Otherwise, he has a reason to punish us..." Zhang Dapang waved his hand and said, "Stop dawdling, hurry up and get ready..."

Wang Erpang looked distressed and said, "Senior Brother, starting now, I'm afraid there's not enough time, even an entire hour wouldn't be enough..."

Indeed, if it were just an ordinary meal, randomly stir-frying a couple of dishes might do, but if the standard is not lower than that previous table, it can't be done carelessly.

"Oh, right, desserts are quicker. Little Qiang, why don't you just make a whole table of desserts, and we'll assist you," Xu Sanpang fixed her eyes on Wang Xiaoqiang. She had seen him make desserts and bread before, and it was fast.

"Senior Sister Xu, you know I don't like serving these self-important people," Wang Xiaoqiang said disdainfully, "Why do you even bother persuading me..."

"Little Qiang, this meal is about the lives of several of us. Just consider it saving our lives for me, won't you..." Xu Sanpang said.

Zhang Dapang also said, "Yes, Little Qiang, the Sect Leader Immortal seemingly let us go, but secretly deliberately put us in a difficult position. He knows full well we can't manage it, yet insists on it, to find a reason to punish us."
