Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Chapter 97 Ye Feng: Surprised? Unexpected?

Two days later, in the Gryffindor common room…

Hermione: "Ye Feng, what is this round thing? Is it really delicious?"

Luna: "This thing is called tangyuan. In China, it embodies the beautiful wish of family reunion. Moreover, you can fill it with all kinds of fillings. You can choose your favorite fillings to fill it. After you fill it, put it in soup and cook it. The taste is so delicious."

Ron: "Can I put anything in? I'd like to put a chicken leg in, preferably salt-baked, that's chewy."

Everyone:…

Ron easily ended the conversation, and after speaking, he glanced at the glutinous rice balls Ye Feng had wrapped, then thought about the chicken legs he usually ate and fell silent. But was he the kind of person who would give up easily? Definitely not, so…

"Look! My salt-baked chicken leg dumplings are ready!" Ron shouted excitedly just a few minutes later, but when everyone turned their attention to him, they were petrified, because Ron was holding a 'dumpling' that was even bigger than Hagrid's fist.

“Ron, this isn’t tangyuan, it’s a dough ball called chicken leg filling, and a really big one at that.” After a long silence, Hermione finally broke it, but Ron firmly believed that what he had made was tangyuan, only this one was a little too big.

Ye Feng: "It is indeed only a little bit big, just one is enough to fill a pot."

In the end, Ron insisted that his dumplings were glutinous rice balls and refused to remake them. Ye Feng and the others respected Ron's choice, so they prepared another pot for him to cook them himself. When Ye Feng and the others had finished making and cooking them, Dumbledore and Grindelwald came over after smelling the aroma.

Ye Feng: (?_?)

"Are you guys born in the Year of the Dog? Your noses are amazing! We had the doors and windows closed, yet you still managed to find us by smell so quickly."

Hearing Ye Feng's sarcastic words, Dumbledore didn't care at all. He gestured for Grindelwald to sit down and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but it's mainly because the girls' skills are so good. The aroma of these glutinous rice balls is irresistible even through many obstacles."

Zhang Qiu, Jin Ni, and the other girls: /(//o/ω/o//)/

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Grinwald, please have a seat. The glutinous rice balls will be ready soon."

With just one sentence, Dumbledore brought smiles to the faces of Zhang Qiu and the other girls. As for Ye Feng, although he didn't like these two 'uninvited guests', he couldn't drive them away, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it. But to Ye Feng's slight surprise, less than three minutes after Dumbledore and Grindelwald arrived, Professor McGonagall and Snape also arrived.

"Oh? I didn't expect Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Grindelwald to be here too. It seems you received an invitation as well. But then again, given your relationship, how could Mr. Ye Feng not invite you over for tangyuan?"

Dumbledore: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"You...you were all invited?"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Snape looked at Dumbledore with a strange expression and said, "Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore, didn't you receive an invitation?"

"呲~"

The sound of an arrow piercing his heart echoed in Dumbledore's mind. After hearing Snape's words, Dumbledore felt an urge to clutch his chest. And at that moment, someone he least expected delivered the final blow, a fatal strike.

Grindelwald: "Huh? Albus, didn't you receive an invitation? I thought you received an invitation from Ye Xiaojia, which is why I came with you."

"呲呲~"

Dumbledore: (???)

As the saying goes, the most powerful knife always comes from the person closest to you. Grindelwald's knife pierced Dumbledore's heart, and Ye Feng watched this scene with great amusement. As for invitations, of course, there were none.

It was the Winter Solstice, not a wedding banquet or anything like that, so there were no invitations. However, he did ask Harry and the others to invite Professor McGonagall and the others to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls), and judging from the current situation, there was a slight accident during the process.

It's possible that Harry and the others had already told them that Ye Feng was familiar with Dumbledore, or it's possible that the person who went to invite him saw Grindelwald, so he informed Grindelwald and then returned without telling Dumbledore. After all, everyone in the school knows that if you see Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Grindelwald is definitely nearby, and vice versa.

As for why Grindelwald didn't tell Dumbledore, Ye Feng had no idea; on the contrary, he was quite enjoying this gossip.

Seeing Dumbledore's deeply devastated expression, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh. Even Snape couldn't help but smirk slightly. In the end, Professor McGonagall couldn't stand it anymore.

“Albus, don’t be sad. We didn’t actually receive an invitation. Harry came to tell us that there would be glutinous rice balls to eat today, and told us to come to the Gryffindor common room at this time. Harry also said that they have taken over you now, which is why I came.”

Dumbledore: ?_?

"You mean I'm among the people invited?"

At this moment, Harry finally came to his senses and quickly said, "Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore, I thought Professor Grindelwald would tell you, so I didn't ask you to tell you in person."

Dumbledore: ヽ(#`Д?)ノ

"Grindelwald!"

"Mr. Greenwald, can you explain to me what's going on?"

Grindelwald: "Ahem, oh, didn't I tell you? I was probably too busy and forgot. But I've brought you here, haven't I? Come on, the glutinous rice balls are floating, they should be cooked. Eat them while they're hot." As he spoke, Grindelwald picked up a bowl and a spoon to scoop out the glutinous rice balls.

Seeing the steaming, plump, and tempting glutinous rice balls ready to be cooked, Dumbledore couldn't care less about anything else. After all, he loved sweets, and he couldn't resist the sweet aroma in the air. When Grindelwald handed him the rice balls, he ignored the heat, scooped one up with a spoon, blew on it, and was about to put it in his mouth.

Just as Dumbledore thought he was about to put the glutinous rice ball in his mouth, Ye Feng finally spoke.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I prepared a little surprise when I was making the glutinous rice balls, such as completely cleaned golden gallons, spirit stones, spicy chili peppers that make you breathe fire, bitter melons that make you wrinkle your face, and... earwax-smelling magic beans."

Dumbledore: ━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━

Harry: "Ye Feng, are you... joking?"

Ye Feng: (～￣▽￣)～

"No, I really did put it inside."

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Luna excitedly chimed in, "I can testify because I saw Ye Feng put a magic bean inside the glutinous rice ball with my own eyes. However, I thought one might not be enough to tell, so I added two more."

Everyone: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Are you the devil?"

With just two sentences, what should have been a joyful occasion of eating glutinous rice balls turned into a test of courage. Before others could discover the "landmine," no one dared to indulge. While carefully savoring the food, everyone had to keep a close eye on their surroundings to see if anyone had already stepped on the landmine.

Chapter 98 Shooting yourself in the foot

"what!"

Suddenly, Harry, who was quietly 'enjoying' his glutinous rice balls, yelled. Then the others saw him frantically searching for water. As he searched for water, his fair face turned bright red at a visible speed, and at the same time, sweat poured out of his forehead.

"Oh~ Looks like I got to eat a chili-flavored glutinous rice ball. Lucky you, this means things will be very prosperous from now on." As he spoke, Ye Feng silently put the glutinous rice ball he had taken a small bite of back into his bowl, and then quietly picked up Hermione's bowl sitting next to him and took a big gulp of the sweet soup inside.

Hermione: [?_??]

Their relationship was quite good. Although they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, they were closer than ordinary classmates and friends. So Hermione didn't object to Ye Feng drinking the sugar water from her bowl. She was just curious why Ye Feng would suddenly do such a thing in such a crowded place.

However, she soon found out, because after Ye Feng finished drinking the sugar water in her bowl, he picked up Zhang Qiu's bowl across from her and did the same thing. When Luna thoughtfully handed over her bowl, Ye Feng took it without hesitation.

Ye Feng sat up straight after finishing the sugar water in Luna's bowl. But when Ginny blushed and pushed her bowl over, Ye Feng hesitated for a second, pursed his lips, and finally silently took the bowl away.

At first, everyone's attention was focused on Harry, whose face was flushed from the spiciness and who was frantically searching for water, so they didn't notice what was happening here. But Dumbledore had been keeping an eye on Ye Feng the whole time, so he noticed when Luna handed the bowl to Ye Feng.

At first, Dumbledore was only slightly puzzled, thinking that Ye Feng might like to drink sweet soup because he didn't see Ye Feng pick up Hermione's and Cho Chang's bowls. But when he saw Ye Feng take Ginny's bowl, he had a guess. And when Ye Feng put down Ginny's bowl and silently picked up Hermione's bowl to go to the soup pot, Dumbledore was certain of his guess.

"Ye Feng, you...you haven't been infected, have you?"

Ye Feng: Σ(°Д°)

Ye Feng, who was serving up a bowl of sweet soup for glutinous rice balls, froze when he heard Dumbledore's words, but quickly recovered and said, "How could that be? I just like drinking sweet soup."

Dumbledore: "Oh? Really? I don't believe it."

Dumbledore's words successfully drew everyone's attention, even Harry, whose ears were burning from the spiciness, couldn't help but turn around. But how could Ye Feng admit it? So he directly filled Hermione's bowl with the sugar water and slurped down more than half of it in one go.

"Believe it or not." After saying this, Ye Feng picked up the bowl again and drank the remaining half bowl of sugar water. Then he filled the bowl to the brim and slowly walked back.

"Since you say you like sweet soup, why don't you eat the half-full bowl of sweet soup and glutinous rice balls in your bowl, and insist on using Hermione's bowl? So..." At this point, Dumbledore reached up and pushed up his glasses, lowered his head slightly, and then suddenly looked up at Ye Feng.

"That cunning frog, it kept touching your belly! Ye Feng, you ate a bitter dumpling, didn't you? (Just a little joke, please be gentle if you don't like it)"

Dumbledore: ???

Ye Feng: 0ДQ

Ye Feng, whose secret had been exposed by Dumbledore, could no longer hold back. His calm and indifferent face instantly crumpled up, because Dumbledore had guessed right. He had indeed fallen for the trap. The bitter dumpling that could make anyone cry was now lying quietly in his bowl, and he had already taken a small bite out of it.

Although it was only a small bite, it has to be said that the ingredients he found were truly top-notch. Just a tiny bit was enough to make even a powerful cultivator like Voldemort, who was afraid of being slapped to death in his prime, suffer unbearably. If he had actually swallowed it whole, he would definitely have cried today.

Others: Hahahaha…

Seeing Ye Feng's expression, even Hermione and Luna, who were sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh. Ye Feng's expression became even more bitter when he saw that everyone else was laughing.

"Hahaha, this is the legendary case of harming others and harming oneself, isn't it? I never thought you'd end up like this!" Dumbledore was overjoyed to see Ye Feng get the short end of the stick. So he happily scooped up a glutinous rice ball with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth, and then... the expression on his face froze.

Ye Feng: [?_??] ???

Almost instantly, Ye Feng guessed what had just happened. At that moment, he suddenly felt that the bitterness in his mouth had lessened considerably. Under Ye Feng's and the others' gaze, Dumbledore paused for a moment before nonchalantly chewing the glutinous rice ball in his mouth and swallowing it expressionlessly.

Of course, what horrified Ye Feng was that after Dumbledore ate the glutinous rice ball, he actually nodded nonchalantly and said, "It tastes good. The girls' cell phones are really quite nice."

Ye Feng: っ?Д?)っ

"Ruthless...ruthless person..."

Ye Feng had to admit that, in terms of ruthlessness, he was far inferior to Dumbledore. At the very least, he couldn't chew and swallow a glutinous rice ball filled with three earwax-flavored magic beans without any expression.

They'd already tasted the spicy, bitter, and earwax-like flavors of the glutinous rice balls, so the next ones were sure to be a surprise. Hermione and the others ate the rice balls without worry, but it turned out that sometimes the absence of any "disasters" didn't mean they were truly safe.

Just a minute later, Ron groaned in pain, and then Ye Feng and the others saw Ron cover his mouth and spit out a deformed Galleon. With Ron's precedent, the others, especially the four professors Dumbledore and Grindelwald, became much more careful, after all, there were still spirit stone dumplings inside.

The gold galleon still has at least 80% gold, so it's relatively soft. If you bite into it hard, it will only hurt for a moment. But spirit stones are different. They've tried those before; they're even harder than steel. If they accidentally bite into one, they'll probably be stuck with a shrew for life.

In the end, Ginny found the spirit stone in the glutinous rice ball, which made her quite excited. She had already heard about its value from her brother. With this spirit stone, their family might not become rich overnight in the magic world, but at least they would no longer be struggling financially and could spend money without worry.

Of course, if Ginny could calm down and carefully recall the scene of serving the glutinous rice balls, she would realize that the glutinous rice ball was the one that Ye Feng deliberately placed in front of her when serving it.

Ye Feng didn't deliberately look for the spicy and bitter glutinous rice balls, so they were truly random. However, even with all his divine sense closed, Ye Feng could still sense the rich spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone glutinous rice ball. Therefore, Ye Feng deliberately sent it to Jin Ni. The reason he did this was naturally because her family was the poorest among the girls.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal of glutinous rice balls, especially Ginny and Ron, because they got what they needed most at this stage.

Chapter 99 Dumbledore: Everything is under control

While Ye Feng and his friends were happily eating glutinous rice balls, Voldemort searched around and around, and finally confirmed that the damned rooster was indeed locked up. Not only was it locked up, but its crowing was also not as loud anymore. Even if you held your breath, you couldn't hear its crowing in the school anymore.

In other words, his basilisk can finally be released to cause chaos and drive Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

Indeed, Voldemort's real purpose in releasing the Basilisk was not to kill people, but to use the Basilisk to kill people to prove that Dumbledore was unable to protect Hogwarts, thereby putting pressure on the Hogwarts board to force Dumbledore to leave.

Voldemort knew very well that as long as Dumbledore was still in the school, even if he were resurrected, he might not be able to defeat Dumbledore. Moreover, if Dumbledore was still in the school, there was a high chance that his plan to resurrect him using the diary would fail.

Although he wasn't incapable of failing, he naturally hoped it would succeed if possible. Moreover, the success or failure of this matter was crucial to whether he could avenge himself and kill that wretched brat and that disgusting hairy beast. Therefore, Voldemort felt that he couldn't be too careful.

So, when Ye Feng and his group arrived the next day, they discovered that something incredibly 'shocking' had happened at Hogwarts.

More than a month later, after Lady Lorris had been saved by a potion made with mandrake, another victim of petrification appeared. This time, however, the petrified person was not an animal, but a non-pure-blooded wizard.

Ye Feng still vaguely remembered the person who had been petrified, because this person was from their Gryffindor school and was also a big fan of Harry. He liked to carry a camera around taking pictures all day long, and when he was petrified, he was still holding a video camera and making a gesture as if he was about to take a picture.

It's a bit of a shame that although he had already raised the camera, he was a little too slow and was unable to photograph the object that was petrifying him before he was petrified himself.
