Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

“Then let’s do it after nightfall!” said Abbess Dingyi. “Nephew, come find me at Gaosheng Inn after nightfall.”

After nightfall? They're looking for you at the inn? Abbess, what do you want?

Fortunately, this isn't a world filled with raunchy jokes, otherwise Ling Chi would have reported it to the authorities by now.

"This junior obeys."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Abbess Dingyi nodded and tossed down ten taels of silver: "Another set of pancakes, please."

Seeing Master Dingyi secretly swallowing her saliva, Ling Chi smiled and put the silver into his pocket: "Please wait a moment, Uncle-Master."

……

"Senior Brother Ling, until we meet again." Before leaving, Yi Lin obediently bid farewell to Ling Chi. However, her choice of words was somewhat inappropriate; they could have met that evening, but "until we meet again" meant they wouldn't see each other for a long time.

As the senior brother, Ling Chi felt it was his duty to correct his junior sister's mistake, so he waved and said, "See you tonight."

"Ah? See you tonight." Yilin changed her words in a cute way.

What a good child.

Master Dingyi was speechless. Her disciple was good in every way, except that she was too naive and ignorant of the ways of the world.

This trip to Hengshan Sect for the ceremony was Yilin's first time descending the mountain in her life, and unexpectedly, she was almost violated by Tian Boguang on the way. Fortunately, Linghu Chong rescued her first, and then Ling Chi eliminated the evil, thus preserving her chastity.

Twice in a row, I ended up owing the Huashan Sect a favor.

……

After Abbess Dingyi and Yilin left, Lingchi continued to hawk his wares, quickly attracting a group of martial arts practitioners who came to visit Liu Zhengfeng.

These past few days, Ling Chi has been riding high. Seeing him dressed up as Bai Wuchang (the White Impermanence) and selling guokui (a type of flatbread) and jianbing (pancakes) at half price, many of his fellow enthusiasts generously bought one or two to try. But once they tasted them, they couldn't stop.

"Young Master Ling, give me two guokui (a type of flatbread)."

"I'll have two sets of pancakes."

"Young Master Ling, is there a discount if I buy ten?"

"Get out of here, you poor wretch! Young Master Ling, I want twenty guokui."

"..."

At the end of the day, Ling Chi was all smiles. Although her experience points increased slowly, the small amount of money she earned filled her pockets.

The poor are scholars, the rich are martial artists; it seems that it's always easier to make money from martial arts practitioners.

These uncultured old men are so ignorant, they don't even recognize a chef's hat, and they call me the White Impermanence.

Don't be angry. Anyway, these roughnecks will meet the White Impermanence sooner or later, and the Black Impermanence will come along with them.

Chapter Sixteen: Heartbreaking

Ling Chi returned to the inn and changed into a new set of clothes. That night, she and Yue Lingshan, who insisted on coming along, went to the Gaosheng Inn to visit Abbess Dingyi.

Although night had fallen, the Gaosheng Inn was brightly lit, as if it were daytime. Many guests were eating and drinking in the lobby or in their rooms, chatting about the latest secrets of the martial arts world.

Ling Chi and Yue Lingshan's arrival went unnoticed. Although some people recognized Ling Chi, he didn't know them and had no intention of chatting with them. Upon entering the inn, he asked the waiter to take them to their rooms to visit Abbess Dingyi. Even though these people recognized him, they were too embarrassed to approach him.

People always have a sense of shame.

As one of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan Sect was quite wealthy. In addition, since they were all nuns, they naturally needed some private space. Therefore, the entire second floor of the Gaosheng Inn, all the Class A guest rooms, was booked by the Hengshan Sect. In this area, apart from visitors, there were no outsiders to disturb them.

"Sir, this is the room of the nun from the Hengshan Sect," the waiter said with a fawning smile, rubbing his hands together.

Ling Chi smiled faintly and tossed him a piece of silver: "Go and bring some tea and snacks. The rest is yours."

"Thank you, sir. Your tea and refreshments are coming right away." The waiter happily went downstairs to prepare the tea and refreshments.

"Snobbish." Yue Lingshan curled her lip.

"Don't say that, it's all for the sake of making a living." Ling Chi said seriously, "If he had been born into a wealthy family, he wouldn't be forced to sell his smiles like this now."

Yue Lingshan's face flushed slightly after hearing those words: "I know, you're so long-winded."

Ling Chi smiled without speaking, adjusted his breathing, and knocked on the door: "Uncle-Master Dingyi, this junior, Ling Chi of the Huashan Sect, has come to pay a visit with my senior sister, Yue Lingshan."

"The door is unlocked, come in!" came the voice of Abbess Dingyi.

"Sorry to bother you."

The two pushed open the door and entered, where they saw Abbess Dingyi sitting behind the wooden table in the guest room, her hands twirling prayer beads, smiling at them.

Beside her, Yilin looked at Ling Chi with an equally bright smile: "Senior Brother Ling, you're here!"

“Junior Sister Yilin.” Ling Chi nodded with a smile.

My junior sister is still as captivating as ever.

Seeing the two greeting each other so intimately, Yue Lingshan was filled with doubt: When did my junior brother become so close to the little nun? Could it be that he hooked up with her while I was away today?

Thinking of this, Yue Lingshan felt a pang of jealousy and really wanted to pinch Ling Chi's waist: You lecherous scoundrel! You heartless man!

……

"Junior Ling Chi greets Martial Uncle Ding Yi." Ling Chi clasped his hands and bowed to Master Ding Yi.

"Junior Yue Lingshan greets Uncle Dingyi." Although she was very angry, Yue Lingshan was very polite and dared not bring shame to the Huashan Sect and her parents.

"Yes, very well." Abbess Dingyi nodded with a smile, pointing to the other side of the table: "Please sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle-Master."

The two had barely sat down when the waiter brought over the tea and snacks: "Sir, here are your tea and snacks. Is there anything else you would like?"

Ling Chi shook his head: "It's nothing, Brother Er, you can go now! I'll call you if I need anything."

"Yes, yes, please enjoy your meal, sir. I'll be there whenever you call."

After the waiter left the room, Abbess Dingyi smiled and said, "It's too much trouble for my nephew."

"It's just some tea and snacks, nothing extravagant. But I wonder what brings you here, Uncle-Master?" Ling Chi asked.

"It's nothing urgent." Abbess Dingyi said, fiddling with her prayer beads, "First, I thank you, my nephew, for killing Tian Boguang and saving Yilin from disaster; second, I have some questions for you, my nephew. May I ask if you would be so kind as to answer them?"

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me." Ling Chi waved his hand and said, "Junior Sister Yilin is blessed by the heavens. Even without me, my senior brother would have rescued her. I just happened to be there. As for any questions you may have, please feel free to ask. I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

Master Dingyi smiled and said, "In that case, could you tell me about your background and how you joined the Huashan Sect?"

"Your background?" Ling Chi was slightly taken aback.

Not only were Abbess Dingyi and Yilin curious, but even Yue Lingshan was very curious. Ling Chi had never spoken of his past. Even the Huashan Sect's investigation of him and Shuang'er back then only revealed that they were "a brother and sister who depended on each other for survival, far from their homeland." Where they came from? What were their backgrounds? No one knew.

Facing the gazes of the three, Ling Chi smiled faintly and said, "My parents and relatives are no longer in this world (in another world), and I only have my younger sister Shuang'er to depend on for survival. A year ago, Shuang'er and I wandered to the Huashan area. Seeing that this place was full of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, we opened a tavern in Huashan Town, and we made a decent living."

I thought life would continue like this, but then a disciple of the Huashan Sect started promoting the Huashan Inner Strength Technique to the locals. So, Shuang'er and I tried practicing it together. Unexpectedly, we both had some talent and quickly developed internal energy, leading to us being accepted as disciples by our master two months ago. A month ago, I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain on some business, and I arrived in Hengshan City a few days ago.

At this point, Ling Chi paused and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Uncle-Master?"

"You..." Master Dingyi's eyes were already wide open, utterly shocked: "You said you started practicing martial arts a year ago, joined the Huashan Sect two months ago, and had never practiced martial arts before that?"

Ling Chi nodded: "Exactly."

Master Dingyi was heartbroken.

What a waste! What a waste!

If we had known earlier that such a prodigy existed, we would have exhausted all of Hengshan's resources to recruit him ten years earlier. Even though Hengshan only accepts female disciples, it's not impossible to make an exception for a genius. If Hengshan had such a successor ten years ago, it would probably have become the number one sect in the world long ago.

Shaolin and Wudang, step aside!

Thinking about it carefully, wouldn't it be wonderful if the number one sect in the world were the Hengshan Sect, which was composed of a group of nuns!

Who says women are inferior to men? Women hold up half the sky.

pity……

Looking at Ling Chi holding the standard Huashan Sect sword, Abbess Dingyi was heartbroken: The Huashan Sect actually got the better of her! Heaven has no eyes! Heaven has no eyes!

"Master, what's wrong?" Yilin was a little scared when she saw her master's face suddenly turn ferocious.

"I'm fine." Master Dingyi was very tired and rubbed her temples. "I'm a little tired. I'll go to the guest room next door to rest. Yilin, please entertain my two nephews in my place."

"Since you are tired, Uncle-Master, I will not disturb you any longer..."

Just as Ling Chi was about to take his leave, Abbess Dingyi waved her sleeve and said, "Yilin has much to say to you. You should stay with Yilin until she finishes speaking before you go." With that, she pushed open the door and left, closing it behind her.

"..."

At this moment, Yue Lingshan's heart was in turmoil.

Does this young nun have 'many things' to say to her junior brother? What is it? Could it be that this young nun and her junior brother are really having an affair?

No one knew that a dramatic ethical drama was unfolding inside Yue Lingshan's heart.

Without her master by her side, Yilin felt much more relaxed, a sweet smile on her face: "Senior Brother Ling, Senior Sister Yue, please sit down! I'll pour you some tea."

"Thank you for your trouble, Junior Sister Yilin."

Seeing her junior brother and the little nun chatting happily, Yue Lingshan's imagination ran wild, and she even imagined the names of their future children.

No--!!

Thinking of this scene, Yue Lingshan felt utterly devastated.

No—!! This isn't the ending I wanted! Absolutely not!

Her watery eyes peeked at Ling Chi: Junior Brother, how could you fall for a nun? Don't you understand my feelings? You should ask your parents for my hand in marriage and marry me!

"Senior Sister Yue, have some tea." Just when the universe was almost unable to stop Yue Lingshan's imagination from running wild, a cup of hot tea was placed in front of her. Yue Lingshan turned her head and saw the little nun looking at her with a blank and adorable expression.

so cute.

Yue Lingshan's heart was melted.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Yilin."

Maybe I'm overthinking it?

Chapter Seventeen: A Pleasant Conversation

"Alright." Ling Chi took a sip of hot tea, frowned: Never mind, one can't expect too much from the tea at an inn.

"Just now, my martial uncle said that Junior Sister Yilin had something to say to me?" Ling Chi asked, looking at Yilin.
