New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 8 Demon King
Hao Chi.

wrong!

"What are you doing! What are you doing!!"

Lei Ye quickly took the unwashed toes out of his mouth.

Then he glared at Buyadi.

Because she was a demon not long ago, Lei Ye was mentally prepared that she would not be able to adapt to life here, but who could stand her sudden outbursts?

But when he turned around, he saw that the guy who suddenly did something outrageous was covering his left eye and staring at him with a chuunibyou attitude. The exposed eye was shining with a scarlet light that scared Lei Ye.

The red-eye effect shouldn’t be that red.

"Oh, so this really can't lower your disgustingly high moral value. What a pity."

She twisted her body in an exaggerated pose, changed her posture, covered her right eye, and her left eye also flashed red.

"Hey, what? Aren't you very happy?"

Speechless.

Looking at the cheerful Buyadi, Lei Ye felt a strong sense of discomfort. It was as if he had just passed a security check, but now it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and even his back was running cold.

Judging from her actions just now, she was probably using the magic eye or something like that. The details are not important. What’s important is that she definitely used magic power just now.

Maybe she was not lying, and that unique meditation method really helped in the practice of magic.

At the same time, he finally realized one thing. The King of Demons is the King of Demons. The potion will drain her magic power but will not kill her talent. With time, she will recover her strength little by little. Will she still be the current Buyadi at that time?
"Ah wow wow wow!"

The movement at his feet interrupted Lei Ye's thoughts.

That was Jiejie who had woken up in shock. She got on all fours and warned Leiye like a frightened puppy.

Looking at this little pink-haired boy, Lei Ye felt inexplicably calmed down.

Let’s think about that kind of thing later. Right now, Lei Ye just wants to live a peaceful life for a while.

He squatted down and tried to rub Jiejie's head, but she dodged him immediately.

Now Jiejie has no trust in Leiye at all.

Lei Ye could understand. Judging from the marks of ligature on her arms and the whipping marks on her Gothic dress, she must have suffered the same treatment as most slaves.

With her -10 intelligence, she may not understand why she is being bullied, but she cannot resist and can only endure it and be wary of everyone.

Lei Ye felt that she was lucky to be bought by him. At least Lei Ye bought her just for her beautiful feet, not for the evil purpose of some perverted nobles buying slaves.

But Lei Ye was a little unhappy that he had been guarded against all the time. This was not the kind of relationship he wanted.

At this moment, Lei Ye heard Jiejie's stomach rumbling.

Suddenly, Lei Ye's eyes lit up.

"Hey," Lei Ye raised a finger, "I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

If the fastest way to bring two people closer together is to treat the other person to a delicious meal, then Lei Ye can be said to be a master at building relationships, and this is exactly what he does best.

Lei Ye came to the kitchen of this house.

When I came to see the house before, I thought the kitchen here was very impressive and had very high-end kitchenware.

So Lei Ye liked it very much.

He flipped through the magic props for refrigerating food and found that the ingredients inside had already rotted. But it didn't matter. Lei Ye always had various ingredients and condiments in his storage bag. After a little thought, he took out a piece of kneaded dough from the storage bag.

And a piece of fresh beef.

He casually cut off a few slices of meat as thin as a cicada's wing and put the beef, which had been used for five years but was still intact, back.

Just have a bowl of ramen.

[Cook Man] is activated, and the passive skill of Lei Ye's only golden finger begins to take effect. As long as the food is cooked by Lei Ye, even tomato booger will be a first-class delicacy. If Lei Ye cooks seriously, any dish he makes will be a skating-level delicacy.

Lei Ye also used his active skill to make this beef noodle, injecting magic power into the food to give it additional bonuses.

For example, this Leiye ramen provides a slow and continuous healing effect, which is very suitable for Jiejie who has scars all over her body.

He brought the bowl of hot ramen back to Jiejie and sat down.

When Jiejie saw him approaching, she still maintained the same posture as before, but the smell of the bowl of noodles emanating from Lei Ye's hand made her nose twitch and she licked her lips eagerly.

"Ah wow wow wow!" she shouted twice threateningly.

"Oh~ Interesting," Lei Ye's eyes lit up.

It's a good thing to know how to threaten others, at least it can be considered a communication ability. For example, from the sound just now, Lei Ye could feel that she was robbing him and ordering him to hand over the food.

"Handshake." He extended a hand to Jiejie.

Jiejie was stunned and tilted her neck in confusion, as if she was puzzled by Leiye's action. So Leiye put the beef noodles aside for the time being, held his right hand with his left hand, shook it, and then stretched out his right hand to Jiejie again.

This time Jiejie understood Lei Ye's intention.

She still tilted her neck, and her pair of eyes, one up and one right, were squinting at Lei Ye.

Lei Ye stood still, staring at the other person.

After a long silence and a long confrontation, Jie Jie crawled towards Lei Ye very slowly, step by step. She cautiously tried to figure out Lei Ye's expression, and tensed her body as if she was ready to run away at any time. But when she was at the limit distance, Lei Ye grabbed her hand and shook it hard.

Jiejie screamed as if she had been deceived and tried to break free from Leiye, but then Leiye handed the bowl of noodles to Jiejie. The rising aroma made her stop struggling instantly.

She snatched the bowl of noodles, pressed it to the ground, put her head in, and started eating.

"Hey, use chopsticks."

After just one bite, Jie Jie's eyes lit up. She stuck her butt towards Lei Ye and got on all fours, chewing on it like a wild dog attacking noodles.

Looking at her behavior, it's really too far for her to be a maid.

Lei Ye sighed at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

He could clearly feel that Jiejie's hostility towards him had dissipated a lot as she ate the noodles in big mouthfuls.

"Just a little kid." He patted Jiejie's head gently and stood up.

Carrying another big bowl of noodles, he walked out the door.

At this moment, Murphy was sitting at the door with his knees hugged, and it was difficult to see any expression on his stiff stone face.

Lei Ye handed over the big bowl of noodles.

"dinner time."

Although Stone Girl's intelligence is only 5, at least she can communicate through dialogue, which makes it much easier to build a good relationship with her.

Lei Ye was ready to discuss the next steps with her.

His life plan was written very clearly in that little notebook. After crossing out 'after killing the demon king', it should have been 'teaching and training with Loya', but now this paragraph has also been crossed out.

But now Lei Ye is still unsure of his main storyline. He is very confused. Several futures that Lei Ye had re-envisioned have been crossed out in the notebook.

For example:
Follow Bu Ya Di back to the scorched earth, use friendship to trick Bu Ya Di into rewarding him with a large number of beautiful succubi, and then super super (crossed out)

Another example:

Purchase a large number of cheap beautiful slave girls, and then super-super (crossed out)
There is a line of small text below:
Lei Ye, Lei Ye, reflect on this. You have been working for several years, your girlfriend ran away, and you haven't saved much money. You should plan your life well, you should exercise more, you should become more mature and stable, and make some new friends.

Also, read more books.

As a time traveler, you have been in this world for such a long time, but you have accomplished nothing. Now you finally have the opportunity to show your talents. You must not be controlled by your brain. The plan you should think about is not how to become a superman, but how to use the little remaining prime time of your life to pave the way for your future. Think about it carefully, Lei Ye, in any world and at any time, only capable men can truly gain the respect of the opposite sex.

Flirt with Buyad, then start the game (crossed out)
Lei Ye slammed the little notebook shut.

He would trust Buyadi, who used to be a man. Maybe he was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't need to worry about such things when facing Murphy. How could anyone trust a stone?
Maybe Murphy will become a close friend.

"We need to talk," Lei Ye said in a low voice, sitting cross-legged in front of Murphy.

Before the conversation, Murphy took the big bowl of noodles he handed over, looked at it twice, and gave it back to Lei Ye, shaking his head.

"The Stonemen don't eat this kind of thing—"

"Then what do you eat?" Lei Ye was stunned.

Murphy picked up a few small stones from the ground, put them into his mouth, and chewed them like snacks.

Then give a thumbs up.

"Stone, Haochi——"

This guy is really easy to raise. As a combat slave, the cost-effectiveness is too high. Even the food expenses can be saved.

But this way, there would be no way to show off his superb cooking skills to the others and eat them. Lei Ye originally wanted to use this Lei Ye ramen to directly satisfy all these roommates.

Maybe I can fry it later?

Just as Lei Ye was thinking about what to say next, Murphy whispered in a very terrified voice.

"You are a good person—"

"So, please—"

"Don't order me to teach, please—"

Lei Ye was stunned for a moment, then his face turned slightly red.

Why does this guy always worry about things like this?

But soon Lei Ye felt relieved. He always subconsciously thought of this stone as a stone, not an ordinary girl of an alien race. Humans should be fair to alien species. Since they can defeat cat girls and elves, why can't they defeat a stone?

A real man should knock over the stone.

On the other hand, Murphy had seen slaves of various races being taken away and beaten by humans at the slave traders' place. Perhaps with her intelligence, she could not understand that her appearance was not attractive to humans. She was just very scared.

Of course a girl would worry about such things. Lei Ye felt that he shouldn't laugh at a girl who valued her chastity so much.

In a sense, she is much stronger than Loya.

"Don't worry, I said I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do," Lei Ye said, trying to make his expression look serious. "Also, I want to tell you that although I bought a big house, it still feels like it can't accommodate you, so you may have to live outside for a short period of time."

"This kind of thing doesn't matter - it's good here -" As she said this, she hugged herself tighter and curled up at the door like a huge stone lion.

In fact, as long as there are enough materials, it won’t take Lei Ye too much time to build a small house for Shi Tou Mei to live in temporarily.

But it’s better to do this kind of thing first and then talk about it.

If Shi Tou Mei were to be feminized, she would probably be the kind of cold and beautiful girl who doesn't trust others easily. Rather than words, actions can give others enough sense of security.

No, what do you mean by effeminate? I am a girl.

Lei Ye patted his butt, stood up and left. She heard a small sigh of relief coming from behind her.

"Thank you, you are a noble man—"

"It's delicious. It's really delicious and spicy! Damn it, Lei Ye! You are a fucking genius! Your IQ must be fucking 160!"

In order to avoid waste, Lei Ye decided to give the big bowl of ramen to Buyadi.

Of course, there's no mention of it being made for Murphy.

Feeling that she was valued, Bu Yadi happily ate the ramen with big mouthfuls and was amazed at how delicious it was.

Lei Ye was not surprised by her reaction. Many people reacted like this when they ate the food they had carefully cooked for the first time. Some people even had their skin burst after eating it.

By the way, there is a third person at the table now.

That’s Jiejie who is eating ramen madly!
This bowl of noodles had a great effect on Jiejie, instantly raising her favorability towards Lei Ye. Not only was she no longer wary of Lei Ye, she even used her hands and feet to crawl on the ground and chase after Lei Ye.

To be precise, she was chasing after the big bowl of ramen. As soon as Lei Ye put the noodles on the table, Jie Jie jumped up and, under Lei Ye's control, stretched her head towards the bowl and bit the air frantically.

Buyadi said that she didn't have a big appetite, so Leiye took out another big bowl and gave two-thirds of the noodles to Jiejie. So while Leiye and Buyadi were talking, Jiejie was kneeling on the table, digging her head into the bowl and eating voraciously.

Jiejie, you can come to the table and eat.

But she couldn't join in the conversation.

"Chew, chew, chew, chew, chew. So spicy! I honestly don't understand why that woman cheated on me. I can't imagine how good it would be if I could eat the food you made every day! Also, you won't be short of money just with your cooking skills, right?"

Bu Yadi said as she slurped noodles.

"Not really. Although I am good at cooking, I am actually only allowed to sell egg fried rice. I am not allowed to sell other food."

"Why!" Buyadi was shocked.

"Because I was reported to the Explorer Guild cafeteria for being unhygienic."

Buyadi frowned slightly. She glanced at the big bowl of ramen in front of her, then looked up at Lei Ye.

"Impossible, this is unhygienic? Damn it, let's go, I'll go and reason with you!"

From the scarlet eyes that looked at Buyadi as she slammed the table, Lei Ye felt only clarity.

This scorched earth guy is really simple.

"Come to think of it, it's quite convenient to use this amazing cooking skill to pursue others. I relied on this bowl of ramen when I was pursuing Luoya," Lei Ye couldn't help but sighed, "Why, why did that innocent and cute elf girl become this bitch now?"

"I can't stand it anymore. Why are you still thinking about that bitch? It's really annoying for the little chef who wants to lick someone but can't. Wait, ramen?"

"yes."

Lei Ye casually took out the illusion crystal and played that scene.

The Loya in the picture and the Loya now look exactly the same with their delicate faces, but they look very different. She is wearing the thin clothes unique to the elves, sitting alone in the corner of the guild, like a cold mountain.

There were many men who tried to chat with her, but she rejected them all with a cold look of contempt.

She sat there alone, with a melancholy look in her eyes and not saying a word.

"Oh, they look exactly the same, but their temperaments are so different. This is what an elf girl looks like. Yesterday, that woman looked like a shrew," Buyadi said in admiration. "Excuse me, how old is Miss Luoya this year?"

"Age." Lei Ye touched his chin and thought, "Once Luoya was drunk, I heard her mention this matter. She and I are the same age, 24 years old, which means that Luoya in the picture is only 19 at this time."

"That's an elf that just left the forest. She doesn't know anything. In that case, I understand. This girl isn't actually aloof. I think she's more frightened by the human world she saw for the first time. Look at her legs. They're shaking like a fascia gun is stuck in them."

"Oh, it's true. I didn't notice it at the time." Lei Ye stared at the screen carefully and found that Luoya's right leg was shaking non-stop. He nodded involuntarily, "By the way, you actually know about the 'fascia gun', scorched earth, and other advanced things like this?"

"I have an engineer who is very good at making magic tools. This thing is very popular among succubi. Let's stop talking about this and continue playing."

The scene continues.

The next scene is Lei Ye running over with a bowl of noodles.

Bu Yadi was stunned, and when she looked down, she felt that the noodles in front of her suddenly didn’t taste good anymore.

She glanced at Lei Ye.

"So what does this mean? Why did you suddenly go to deliver noodles? You have no context, I don't understand."

Lei Ye shrugged.

"Before this, I had been observing her for an entire afternoon, holding a racial encyclopedia borrowed from the library. After a little research, I found that the elves in the forest have always been vegetarians. Only after leaving the forest for a period of time will the elves start to eat meat. So I wondered if she was hungry, but I didn't find a vegetarian meal on the menu. Then I borrowed the guild's kitchen and cooked her a bowl of noodles."

"Oh, let me think about it. A girl who came to a foreign country alone, starving but too scared to ask for the vegetarian set meal that was not on the menu, and who had to endure the strange men who came up to her from time to time, and then at this moment! An even stranger man ran over with a bowl of noodles. It's quite romantic when I think about it. I couldn't stand it if it were me."

"Hey, hey, what do you mean by an even stranger man?" Lei Ye protested softly, then sighed, "I also think the effect is quite good. Although her expressions were not very obvious at that time, I felt that she was quite happy. But, but! Later, it was ruined by those barbaric guys."

The scene continues.

Lei Ye directly put the noodles on the table and sat opposite Luoya.

Just like when dealing with other people, Luoya immediately showed obvious resistance, but when she heard Lei Ye say that this was the vegetarian meal she needed, she was obviously stunned because someone noticed that she was troubled by this matter, so after a moment, she whispered thank you and started eating.

After just one bite, her pupils shrank, her hands and legs stretched out, her whole body trembled violently, and her toes of her white jade feet clenched tightly.

Lei Ye was obviously frightened, then he stood up and froze.

The first-person perspective image suddenly froze, fixed on the pair of jade feet kicking over from under the table.

"I kind of understand why you like her." Buyadi realized that this was the moment when Lei Ye's heart was moved.

The view moved slightly downward, and the pants moved slowly.

"No, buddy." Buyadi stuck his head out.

Looking back, the image of the illusion crystal had turned to the people in the guild. They were like zombies who had smelled the breath of the living, twitching their noses and looking for something everywhere.

Finally, their eyes were fixed on Luoya, who suddenly lost her aloof image and stood up, dancing and slurping noodles.

After that, people in the guild began to fight over the bowl of noodles and almost came to a fight.

"It was soy sauce. I added soy sauce," Lei Ye added. "I don't know how to explain it to you. To put it simply, the seasoning here is really bad. The things I made later only tasted good because of my skills. But I used the seasoning I brought from my hometown for that bowl of noodles, so even if I didn't need skills, it would be a dimensionality reduction attack in this world. However, I tried my best for that bowl of noodles, and I guess that's why it had that effect. By the way, I haven't used that bottle of soy sauce since then. It's now on scorched earth, in the storage bag that I couldn't take away."

"Oh, I see. It's the storage bag you left over there, right?"

Lei Ye didn't say anything more about soy sauce, but nodded expressionlessly.

He looked at himself in the picture, holding Loya's hand and running out with her, saying that he could treat her to better food. That delicate face showed her smile, which was the first time Lei Ye saw her.

Those were the good times, oh.

"What happens next?" Buyadi suddenly said.

"What else is there to do?" Lei Ye spread his hands. "After that, we got to know each other, and then we became familiar with each other. Then I often treated her to delicious food, and then I confessed my love for her. That's it."

"Don't play dumb! I want to watch something for adults!" Buyadi yelled, then suddenly paused, "Oh yeah, you're the kitchen man, so what's the final progress of the two of you, just kissing and hugging?"

".It seems like we held hands."

Buyadi couldn't help but laugh, and pointed a finger at Lei Ye.

"Look at what the paper man is looking at."

Lei Ye was stunned, and his face turned red instantly.

Buyadi snorted, put down the bowl, stood up, walked around the dining table to Lei Ye, and paced slowly.

"You humans' red tape is ridiculous to me. Let me tell you what it would be like if this happened in Scorch Earth."

"First of all, I took out my copper-headed leather belt and whipped this idiot who only ate vegetables and no meat and took up the seat all afternoon without saying a word. She became obedient after spinning like a top."

Lei Ye was stunned.

This angle of looking at the problem is really tricky. He has never thought about this kind of thing.

"Second, according to the scorched earth law, any idiot who eats and drinks for free without paying gold or coins or hanging after confirming a relationship can be reported directly to the Demon King's City. I will personally throw her into the Demon King's City's underground prison. She will behave after three years."

Lei Ye was stunned again.

What is this scorched earth method? I've never heard of it!

"Third, it's okay to like someone else, people have the freedom to like someone else, and it's okay to unilaterally apply for a breakup, people have the freedom to get tired of someone else, but the cheater," Buyadi shouted, "Kill!!!"

Lei Ye was stunned again.

His soul was stunned by this passionate cry.

To be honest, this scorched earth law seems too barbaric compared to the laws of my hometown, or even compared to the laws of the Frey Empire here.

But it feels so good.

Lei Ye recalled that when he first came to this world, he heard that Hillius was a city that tolerated XP, and the mainstream XP focused on not being human, but the more human-like the better. He then felt from the bottom of his heart that he was a Hillius person.

Now he suddenly felt that being a scorched earth man didn't seem like a bad idea.

"And you, you are an idiot too." Buyadi said again.

Lei Ye said nothing.

"The book you are reading is called The Encyclopedia of Races. The author is my grandfather. Next time you read the book, remember to turn to the back. There will be additional notes at the back. I will now orally tell you about the contents at the back."

"According to observation, immortal species like elves have only one possible sexual desire: they have sex for the first time at 20, they get bored with the normal gameplay at 200, their distorted XP makes most people scared at 400, and even the demon king dare not challenge them at 600."

"Wait, wait, let me interrupt you. I remember you called yourself the greatest devil of the millennium, and I've also heard rumors about the Lecherous Demon King, so you also..."

“What?!” Buyadi was stunned and turned her head away slightly. “No, no, no, my life is full of practice, so I have never had time to do such things. The rumor was only spread to discourage suitors. But my devil relatives are indeed very dissolute.”

"Back to the point. What I want to tell you is that elves don't fit the image of purity in your mind. That's just a filter you put on yourself. In fact, elves have almost exaggerated desires, but their unique Sima face makes it difficult for ordinary people to see. If you were more proactive, you wouldn't become like this."

"Alright! That's it!" Buyad clapped her hands. "Forget about what happened before. Let's discuss what to do now."

"As a devil who loves to have fun, I want to help you complete a perfect revenge on her!"

"The first plan I offer you is very simple. Trick her into a corner where no one is around, then beat her up and she will behave herself."

Lei Ye shook his head directly. "I treat her well not because she is good, but because I am that kind of person. But if it is because she is not good, I will become the kind of person I don't want to be. You are putting the cart before the horse. I admit that your proposal as a devil is very tempting, but this is still too extreme."

"I knew you would say that. You are the man with the highest moral values ​​I have ever seen," Buyadi said with a wicked smile, "Then let's make a second suggestion. Let's beat her new lover together."

That's a good suggestion.

But he is an A-level explorer after all. How can they win when one of them is a cook and the other is a cripple?

"At that time, you calmly watched Luoya explain and immediately announced the breakup, but you only looked calm. Weren't your fists clenched tightly? Why didn't you punch that guy? Was it because you couldn't beat him?"

"Now I'm giving you a chance. You just need to answer me a question. Do you want to punch that guy?"

Subconsciously, Lei Ye nodded.

then.

Blood splattered on his face.

In front of him.

With clean and neat movements, Buyadi cut open her chest with the fruit knife on the table. Blood gushed out from the cross-shaped wound, and Buyadi smiled with pleasure.

The wound healed slowly due to the effect of Lei Ye Ramen. Buyadi cut it repeatedly, humming and laughing at Lei Ye.

She still had a smile on her face as always, but it was covered in blood. Finally, the Demon King could no longer hold back and revealed her crazy true self.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay my good friend."

As if she noticed that Lei Ye was frozen in place with a horrified expression on his face, the woman, who was losing a lot of blood, quickly came to Lei Ye, supported Lei Ye's body, and then hugged him.

"I'm sorry."

"You won't remember even if I explain, so I won't explain. But what I want to tell you is that I'm so happy to meet you. I'm so happy, so happy, so happy, so happy. I've always wanted a friend who is willing to be friends with me, even if I'm not the Demon King Bu Yadi, I'd still be willing to be friends with him, a real good friend. But it's strange, strange, strange, strange, strange. Why do you have a higher favorability towards a slave you just bought than I do? This is too unreasonable."

Her bloodshot eyes and incoherent speech made Lei Ye even more confused.

This should have been a new beginning, the beginning of a peaceful and stable new life for him, but...
"Don't look so sad. You should be happy. My good friend, you have been targeted by the devil."

Buyadi smiled happily and pressed Leiye's palm on her cracked chest.

"You have no idea how happy I am when I heard that you like yanderes. You have to like me a little more next time. But there is no rush for this matter. We have plenty of time. Let's go and fulfill your first wish. Let's go and give the guy who stole your girlfriend a punch! A hard punch."

It was so confusing that Lei Ye couldn't understand what was going on. He touched the chest as he wished, but he was not happy.

Buyadi’s blood was almost gone, and her face became paler and paler, as if it was gradually turning into an ice sculpture.

She gently kissed Lei Ye's earlobe and chanted softly.

In a trance, Lei Ye seemed to hear her whispering a spell.

The spell is -

“Quick Load.”
