Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

When Ye Feng saw Dumbledore actually smile, his hair stood on end.

To be honest, Ye Feng wasn't afraid of Dumbledore getting angry or even punishing him, because whatever the punishment was, it meant the matter was over, so Ye Feng wasn't afraid of being punished.

But it was a little creepy that Dumbledore actually laughed after he finished his 'explanation'.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I was wrong!"

"Headmaster Dumbledore, please punish me! I promise I will never fish at Black Lake again for a month. Can you... forgive me?" After saying this, Ye Feng cautiously looked up at Dumbledore.

Seeing Ye Feng so frightened, Dumbledore finally came to his senses. He put away his smile and said seriously, "Mr. Ye, I didn't expect you to admit it so easily."

“Although this can be considered a voluntary admission, given your repeated failure to change your ways and your frequent fishing trips to Black Lake, which this time has caused ‘serious consequences,’ I have now decided… to punish you by having you teach Harry and the others how to fish, but you are not allowed to touch a fishing rod yourself!”

Ye Feng: (キ｀?Д??)!!

What is shrimp and pork heart? To a fisherman, this is shrimp and pork heart!

Ye Feng, who had just realized he had 'self-destructed,' almost jumped up the moment he heard the punishment, because Dumbledore's punishment was really too cruel. But after the shock and anger, Ye Feng suddenly came to his senses. He... didn't seem to be a proper fisherman. More importantly, he didn't need to come to the lake to fish!

Therefore, after his initial shock and anger, Ye Feng quickly regained his composure, and the speed at which he changed his expression even frightened Dumbledore.

"Is this punishment... a bit too lenient for the little guy?"

It has to be said that Dumbledore really knows Ye Feng well. He knows very well that it is impossible for this guy to be disheartened or depressed by such a punishment. This little rascal has a strong ability to withstand things. He will probably recover completely by the time he gets back to his dormitory.

However, Dumbledore wasn't a devil, so he directly summoned Ye Feng, ordering him to fish up enough ingredients for the entire Hogwarts dinner an hour before dinner that night, and put him in charge of preparing dinner.

Such a requirement might be difficult for others, but it was no problem for Ye Feng at all. Therefore, Ye Feng successfully finished fishing after only half an hour, which surprised Dumbledore. In the end, he had to admit that he was not knowledgeable enough, and he was also amazed by the abundance of resources in Black Lake.

Because he had to prepare dinner, Ye Feng spent ten minutes in Potions class this afternoon making the Charm potion that Snape had assigned him to brew. He then immediately started making various seasonings. As a result, he was kicked out of the Potions class classroom after only half an hour.

As we all know, there are many kinds of seasonings used in Chinese cooking, some of which are quite pungent. In addition, Ye Feng did not want to cause trouble for himself, so he planned to make dinner a barbecue tonight. As a result, the seasonings he made were extremely spicy and pungent.

Fortunately, making these seasonings didn't necessarily have to be done in the Potions classroom, so Ye Feng finished everything by nightfall.

In the restaurant, Dumbledore, sitting in the main seat, saw Ye Feng nod to him below. He cleared his throat, then picked up a spoon and gently tapped the glass in front of him.

As Dumbledore struck the table, a large amount of processed ingredients appeared on the dining table, along with several blazing charcoal stoves.

Dumbledore: [?_??]

"Mr. Ye Feng, could you explain why all the ingredients served at dinner tonight are processed and raw?"

Ye Feng was also confused when he heard Dumbledore's question, because barbecue should not be uncommon in Western countries. However, when Ye Feng saw the processed food skewered on a string, and even chicken feet, chicken wings and other things, he suddenly understood.

"Yes, this is called a kebab. You can just take whatever you like and put it on the charcoal fire to grill. Just pay attention to the heat while grilling, brush on the seasonings according to your preference, and sprinkle on cumin. It's very fragrant."

They were no strangers to barbecue, but this was the first time they had ever seen it done this way. However, after they grilled a skewer of their favorite food like Ye Feng and took a bite, the restaurant was soon filled with the sizzling sound of grease.

"It smells so good! I never expected that chicken wings with so little meat would smell so delicious after being roasted." After taking a tentative bite of the golden-brown chicken wing that Ye Feng had brought him, Dumbledore was instantly captivated by the delicious taste.

"I've decided that from now on, Hogwarts will have a barbecue once a month."

"Long live Headmaster Dumbledore!!!"

After Dumbledore announced this impulsive decision, the entire restaurant fell silent. But the next second, cheers that nearly lifted the roof off erupted. At that moment, barbecue from some mysterious ancient country conquered the entire Hogwarts, easily accomplishing a 'great feat' that no Dark Lord had ever been able to achieve.

Chapter 42 Ye Feng: Blowing up the ceiling will provide ventilation.

As we all know, barbecue stalls are usually located in open-air places because during the grilling process, both the oil from the meat itself and the oil brushed on will eventually drip onto the charcoal fire. When oil drips onto the charcoal fire, two things generally happen:

When dripping grease falls onto a sufficiently strong charcoal fire, the grease will ignite and burn quickly because the strong fire provides enough heat. However, if the grease falls onto a weak charcoal fire, the fire will not reach the ignition point of the grease, and the grease will not burn but will char and emit black smoke.

Of course, whether the oil burns or not, it will eventually produce fumes. Now, all the hundreds of barbecue grills in the restaurant are producing fumes. These fumes are mixed with various spices and chili powder. The pungent smell produced by the grilling and burning is really unbearable for most people, so coughing is rampant in the restaurant.

Ye Feng hadn't expected that the restaurant, which looked so big, would have such poor ventilation. So when he saw this, he couldn't think of a good solution for a while. However, when he looked up and saw the ceiling reflecting the night, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Since the roof blocks the fumes from escaping, then we might as well not have a roof at all.

"I'm so smart! I'm giving myself a thumbs up o(￣▽￣)d"

Thinking of this, Ye Feng handed the grilled skewers to Hermione and then gave up his seat, letting Harry and Ron do it themselves, while he walked straight through the bustling crowd and went outside.

Dumbledore, who was enjoying his meal in the main seat, stopped when he saw Ye Feng walking out. He raised an eyebrow and stopped. But just then, he heard something that he couldn't help but pay attention to.

As we all know, the atmosphere at a barbecue is usually quite lively, and once things get lively, people tend to talk about anything. At this moment, George and Fred were having a great time eating and excitedly sharing the 'gossip' they knew with the people next to them.

“It’s true, we’re telling the truth. We saw with our own eyes that Headmaster Dumbledore’s beard was missing a large patch, and it was so shocking that we followed him and watched him go into Professor Snape’s Potions Room.”

“That’s right, you have no idea how shocking Headmaster Dumbledore looked back then! It’s a pity we didn’t have a camera, otherwise we would have definitely taken a picture and kept it safe. It was an image of Headmaster Dumbledore that had never been seen before, and it would definitely be of great collectible value.”

Dumbledore: ミ?Д?彡 Absolutely not!!! !!

Hearing the Weasley twins' words, Dumbledore was completely dismayed. At the same time, he was also very glad that the two guys didn't have a camera with them at the time, otherwise his lifelong reputation would probably have been ruined by those two kids before it was even destroyed by Ye Feng.

This is something that others might not be able to do, but these two Weasley kids are absolutely capable of doing!

Hearing that the two had left no evidence, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he froze, because the two guys actually pointed at his beard and said with certainty that what they said was true, and even took out a copy of the Daily Prophet.

"Look, the photo of Principal Dumbledore in this newspaper was taken a few days ago. Now compare it with Principal Dumbledore's beard in the photo. Isn't it longer and thicker now?"

"And if you look closely, you'll notice that the tuft of beard in the middle of Principal Dumbledore's head is not only noticeably thicker than the tufts on either side, but also darker."

Dumbledore: (キ｀?Д??)!! You two, shut up!!!

Dumbledore, who was immediately struck by the detail about his beard, was no longer at a loss. He picked up a string of chives, put it in his mouth, bit it, and then slicked it back.

"Ok?"

(??)

Dumbledore, who originally just wanted to use the 'grass' to cover his beard, was instantly attracted by the smell of the chives, and thus a scene appeared that made the students of Hogwarts and even Professor McGonagall drop their jaws in astonishment.

On the main seat, the usually dignified Dumbledore was squinting, chewing on a stalk of 'grass' like a goat, and his pleased expression showed that he quite liked the 'grass'.

While everyone was still in shock, Ye Feng had already arrived above the restaurant, but looking at the massive roof in front of him, he was a little worried.

Blowing up the roof wasn't difficult for him, nor was it difficult for Ye Feng to blow up the roof without affecting the people below. The difficulty lay in blowing up the roof without damaging the structural integrity of the house. As for the issue of shelter from the wind and rain after the roof was blown up, that was a minor problem for Ye Feng.

"Why don't we just reinforce the main structure? That way, even if the roof is blown up, the reinforced structure won't have any impact on the lower part."

Ye Feng is a man of action, so he didn't hesitate at all. After making his decision, he immediately took out a paintbrush and then a small bucket.

"Reinforcement requires gathering a lot of earth element power, and in order to withstand the impact, it also needs to gather metal element and the like. Oh, and in order to prevent it from collapsing after a few years, it also needs to be set up to automatically replenish energy."

"Hmm~ It seems like I need quite a lot of things. Looks like I'll have to invest a bit."

While pondering, Ye Feng kept taking things out of his spatial ring, adding large amounts of things like cinnabar, mithril, and earth element crystals. When he had added enough, Ye Feng looked around and, finding that no one was watching, took out several more large handfuls of earth from his spatial ring and added them in.

The reason Ye Feng was so careful when adding this soil was because it was Forbidden Forest Soil mixed with unicorn blood, which was the soil from the place where the unicorn had been lying when he fished it back.

Although he didn't kill the unicorn, the thing simply vanished, along with the soil where its corpse had lain. If they found out that all of these things were with him, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had ten mouths. So it's best to be careful.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be unicorn blood, but this is the only one he has that can be considered spirit beast blood, so he has no choice but to use it.

Once all the materials were ready, Ye Feng mixed them thoroughly, then placed the paintbrush on the ground and took out his magic wand. Of course, the magic wand was just a cover; this time he used his divine sense.

Under Ye Feng's powerful divine control, the paintbrush created afterimages that continuously moved throughout the entire building.

Dumbledore actually found the paintbrush in the restaurant, but he dismissed it as someone's doodle or prank. However, if Dumbledore knew what it truly meant, he would have stopped it, because…

"boom"

Just as Dumbledore was about to lose his temper with the fumes and was contemplating whether to cancel the monthly barbecue, a huge roar came from above, and when he looked up at the ceiling, he was completely stunned.

Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

"Where is my ceiling? Where is my big, beautiful ceiling?"

Chapter 43 I blew it up, but I fixed it again.

"boom!"

With a deafening explosion, the roof of Hogwarts Dining Hall shot into the sky and quickly disappeared as a small black dot. About an hour later, the attack alarm sounded in Azkaban because they had been attacked by a roof.

Of course, since Azkaban was guarding Dementors, there was no loss.

On the other side, looking at the 'restaurant' with its roof blown up but its main structure completely undamaged, and even more solid than before, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Perfect! All that's left is to set up the real starry sky ceiling." Ye Feng murmured as he controlled the paintbrush and the small bucket, still half full of materials for drawing the magic array, and started working again.

Blowing up the roof was only the first step. Next, a magic array or something similar would be needed to seal the dome, otherwise wind and rain would affect the students eating below. The dome would probably be repaired the next day, so Ye Feng had to install 'glass' on top of the dome.

This was simple for Ye Feng; he just needed to draw a few isolation arrays on the roof. This way, not only would the dome be a truly transparent starlight dome, but it would also be able to block rainwater, allowing light to pass through while preventing wind and rain from getting in.

However, Ye Feng had just started working when a dark-faced Dumbledore appeared in front of him.

"Ye Feng, can you explain what you're doing? If your explanation doesn't satisfy Hogwarts, then you'd better fix the roof yourself."

Seeing Dumbledore's face darken, Ye Feng quickly explained, "Headmaster Dumbledore, don't you think the ventilation in the dining hall is a bit poor? Our barbecue party has only been going on for half an hour and the fumes inside are already unbearable, so I'm ventilating the room for the students."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Dumbledore's face darkened even more.

"You mean you ripped the roof off just to ventilate?"

“Yes, that’s right,” Ye Feng replied matter-of-factly.

After answering, Ye Feng saw that Dumbledore's face was turning from black to white, so he quickly spoke again to explain: "Actually, it's not entirely because of the need for ventilation. Besides ventilation, I think the original fake starry sky ceiling wasn't very good, so I plan to tear it down and build a real one."

"But Headmaster Dumbledore, don't worry, the array is almost finished. Once the array is complete, you will not only get a real starry sky roof, allowing you to see the sky outside in real time, but you also won't have to worry about wind or rain. If you're in a hurry, you can even fly out from the roof."

"Of course, any Hogwarts professor can enter the dining hall directly from outside the roof."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Dumbledore's face, which had almost turned pale, slowly returned to normal. It was only then that Dumbledore realized that the runes drawn by the paintbrush were incredibly profound, so profound that even he could only understand a small part of them, which greatly shocked him.

"Ye Feng, can you tell me where you learned what you're drawing from? I don't think any teacher at school taught you these things." Dumbledore was so sure because even he himself hadn't learned them, and if he didn't understand them, how could anyone else at the school possibly know them?

Seeing Dumbledore's face instantly turn serious, Ye Feng said nonchalantly, "I learned it myself in the library. Those things were quite difficult; it took me a whole week to understand them all."

Dumbledore: (°Д°)

"One...one week?"

"One week."

"Click!"

Upon receiving Ye Feng's accurate answer, Dumbledore's jaw nearly dislocated from opening his mouth so wide. He even forgot that the books Ye Feng mentioned were only available in the restricted section, because it was all too incredible. After all, he had spent a whole month carefully studying them before he could barely understand a few of them.

"What a... little monster!"

Ye Feng had no idea what Dumbledore thought of him, because those magic arrays were really not difficult for him. After all, he had obtained many cultivation arrays from the system before. Some of those arrays were so large that their area of ​​deployment was comparable to a super city. So compared to immortal arrays, these magic arrays were really just child's play for Ye Feng.

Of course, although he has learned a lot of those formations, due to a lack of various materials, he can only set up one spirit-gathering formation at most. If he sets up more than that, his material inventory will not be enough.
