Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Guo Xiang looked at the strange little cart that seemed to be made of bamboo and wood, with a rabbit-shaped object on the front, and asked, "Godfather, is this a cart?"

"..."

This reaction isn't enthusiastic enough!

Sure enough, information asymmetry leads to different points of interest.

Ling Chi sighed inwardly and said, "This is a children's tricycle, for kids like you to ride and play with. Come on, Xiang'er, sit on it, put your feet on the front pedals... Yes, hold the handlebars with both hands, just like that, and then push forward with both feet."

Following Ling Chi's instructions, the tricycle started rolling, and Guo Xiang's eyes lit up instantly. She giggled and said, "This is so much fun!"

Guo Polu watched with envy as his sister rode her tricycle, weaving through the traffic. "This vehicle is great," he thought, "it can turn and reverse, it's so much fun!"

"Godfather, I want to play too," Guo Polu said, tugging at Ling Chi's trouser leg.

"Haha, don't rush, Xiang'er has one, and Po Lu has one too." Ling Chi untied another tricycle tied to the wheelbarrow, opened the packaging, and laughed, "Xiang'er's is a little rabbit on the front, and this little tiger on the front is Po Lu's. Do you like it?"

Guo Polu grinned sheepishly and nodded repeatedly, "I like it, thank you, godfather."

"You're welcome, play with your sister!" Ling Chi lifted him onto the tricycle and gave him a push.

"Sister, I'm here!" Guo Polu rode his tricycle and chased after Guo Xiang.

Watching the two children chasing each other with laughter, Huang Rong smiled and said, "Brother Ling is truly multi-talented; he can even make something out of something that children play with so much fun."

"I just did it on a whim, as long as Xiang'er and Po Lu are happy." Ling Chi smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't expect that Guo'er and Fu'er would be getting married so soon. What happened during this time?"

"It's a long story, come in first! Come in and tell me slowly." Huang Rong smiled and beckoned to Guo Xiang and Guo Polu: "Xiang'er, Polu, come back quickly, let's go play in the backyard."

"Know it!"

……

In a side room in the backyard of the Guo residence, Ling Chi and the other three were arranged to stay.

The four had barely settled in when Yang Guo, having received the news, arrived.

Upon seeing the four of them, Yang Guo was overjoyed: "Brother Ling, Aunt, Shuang'er, Wushuang, you've come!"

Chapter Forty-Nine: Cherish Every Moment

Two months later, Yang Guo's spirit and energy were completely different.

He was dressed in festive attire, his face glowing with health, and he walked with a swagger.

Ling Chi saw him and nodded with a smile: "You rascal, I didn't expect you to be getting married so soon. It seems you really like Fu'er."

Yang Guo smiled broadly: "Yes! Although we've known each other since childhood, seeing each other again gives me a feeling of my heart fluttering. Sister Fu is very good to me, and with Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo's help, I have no reason to refuse."

"It's good that you think that way." Ling Chi nodded: "After you get married, take good care of the family. Fu'er has been spoiled since she was a child, so she is inevitably a bit willful. If she offends you with her words, don't take it too seriously. She's just a silly girl who doesn't mean any harm."

Before Yang Guo could reply, Huang Rong chuckled and said, "Shouldn't that be my saying? How did Brother Ling say it?"

Ling Chi laughed heartily: "Isn't this all for the happiness of the children? However, Guo'er has been orphaned and destitute since childhood, lacking care. If he does anything wrong, please forgive him for the sake of me and Long'er."

Yang Guo felt a warmth in his heart after hearing those words, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Huang Rong smiled slightly: "Don't worry! Guo'er is a good child, and I will take care of him like a mother."

Ling Chi smiled and nodded, took two steps forward, patted Yang Guo on the shoulder, and said, "Now that you're married, you're an adult. No matter what you do in the future, you must think of your family first. Don't be like before, running away whenever you want."

Yang Guo was both touched and embarrassed: "Brother Ling, that's ancient history, why bring it up again?"

"I just want to teach you a lesson so you won't make the same mistake again." Ling Chi punched him on the chest. "A real man should know what to do and what not to do. If you have any problems in the future, keep them to yourself and come find me in Zhongnan Mountain. I will give you the best advice. Don't do something wrong in a moment of impulse and regret it later."

These words sounded rather strange, and although Yang Guo was puzzled, he nodded: "I will."

Yang Guo didn't understand, but Huang Rong knew perfectly well, and secretly gave Ling Chi a grateful look.

Ling Chi smiled slightly, turned halfway and pointed at Lu Wushuang: "Look at your sworn sister, she went on a crazy diet for a month to attend your wedding, isn't she much prettier now!"

Yang Guo looked at Lu Wushuang and nodded with a smile: "Wushuang was beautiful to begin with, but she is even more beautiful now that she has lost weight."

"Of course." After being ignored for so long, Lu Wushuang was as arrogant as a swan, her nostrils practically pointing to the sky: "A girl as beautiful as me, whoever marries me will be very lucky!"

This 'demonstration' is actually kind of cute.

Yang Guo chuckled lightly: "That's true. Who knows which silly boy will be so lucky in the future? Would you like your elder brother to introduce you to a few promising young men? They are all the best men in the world."

These past few days, Yang Guo, along with Guo Jing, has received many guests from all over the country and has indeed made many friends among talented young people. He has the right to say this.

Lu Wushuang rolled her eyes and hugged Ling Chi's arm: "Sure! If there's anyone as nice as big brother, introduce them to me!"

“Uh…” Yang Guo scratched his head and said, “That’s a bit too much to ask.”

"That is indeed asking too much," Huang Rong chuckled. "Of all the men I've ever met, Brother Ling is probably the one every woman in the world most wants to marry."

"I'm embarrassed by what you're saying," Ling Chi said with a shy expression.

Everyone: "..."

Huang Rong laughed heartily: "Just this humor alone surpasses 99% of the men in the world. Not to mention Brother Ling's unparalleled martial arts, unmatched culinary skills, versatility, and his love for his wife and ability to take care of the children."

At this point, Huang Rong sighed: "It's a pity that I met Brother Jing when I was young. If I had met Brother Ling, I'm afraid I would be Mrs. Ling now instead of Mrs. Guo."

"I am Madam Ling," Little Dragon Girl suddenly said.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, but Huang Rong didn't seem to mind and laughed, "Yes! That's why I envy you, sister-in-law, for marrying the best man in the world. You must cherish him, sister-in-law, otherwise there are plenty of good women eyeing Brother Ling! What will you do if Brother Ling is snatched away by someone else?"

Xiaolongnu's heart tightened, and a shadow of gloom flashed in her eyes.

"Alright." Ling Chi walked up to Xiaolongnu, gently embraced her, and kissed her on the smooth forehead. He smiled and said, "Long'er is the woman I will spend my life with. I will not let her be taken away."

Xiaolongnu's eyes softened, and she gently nestled in his arms.

"..."

Everyone almost got diabetes; it wasn't sweet, it was sickeningly sweet.

……

On this day, Ling Chi did not see Guo Fu. It was said to be a local custom that a woman should not meet any men other than her father and brothers before her marriage, so as to maintain the greatest mystery, and then put on makeup to give the groom the greatest surprise on the wedding day.

Ling Chi thought this custom was quite good. Sometimes the greatest attraction between men and women is not appearance or money or other such things, but the sense of novelty.

Otherwise, why would men who marry stunningly beautiful women still cheat? Isn't it because after marriage, they lose interest in their goddesses and want to try something new?

Conversely, women also have these feelings to some extent, otherwise they wouldn't change husbands so frequently. For example, it started with Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, then Jimmy Lin and Ekin Cheng, then Lu Han and Kris Wu, and now it's Cai Xukun, and who knows who will come next, but they'll definitely change husbands.

Human nature is something that cannot be changed.

Guo Fu was not seen, but Huang Yaoshi and Cheng Ying were.

Huang Yaoshi and Cheng Ying arrived this evening.

For the past three years, Huang Yaoshi and Cheng Ying have been traveling around, not even returning home for the New Year, which can be described as a long time away.

After three years apart, Cheng Ying had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, a truly captivating sight.

Upon seeing this, Ling Chi smiled and said, "Little Cheng Ying has grown up; it's time to find her a husband."

Cheng Ying immediately blushed deeply and lowered her head, remaining silent.

Huang Yaoshi chuckled and said, "Ying'er has indeed grown up, but among all the young talents in the world, how many are worthy of being my last disciple?"

He turned to look at Yang Guo and nodded: "Brother Yang Guo is a good match for Ying'er, it's just a pity that he has to marry Fu'er."

"Father~~~~" Huang Rong's eyebrows shot up, and she scolded, "What are you saying!"

Huang Yaoshi was completely helpless with his precious daughter. He shook his head and drank in silence.

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Matters between men and women depend on fate. When the time is right, things will naturally fall into place."

"Brother Ling is right." Huang Yaoshi nodded. "Just let things take their course."

He turned to look at Huang Rong and sighed, "It's a pity that my daughter's fate isn't very good."

"Father, you're here again!" Huang Rong said coquettishly, "Brother Jing is a rare hero in the world, how could I be unlucky in love with him?"

Huang Yaoshi took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Your fate is not as good as Xiaolongnu's."

Huang Rong: "..."

Chapter Fifty Immortality

The wedding of Yang Guo and Guo Fu was successfully concluded the next day.

At this wedding banquet, Ling Chi did not see Hong Qigong, nor Master Yideng, and the Old Urchin was not present either.

He had been in this world for ten years and had never met Master Yideng or the Old Rascal. One of them was devoted to studying Buddhism and living a carefree life in the Buddhist order; the other was like a child, running around and playing everywhere, appearing and disappearing like a dragon.

If he hadn't reached the blue-level top-tier culinary skill, he might have taken the time to go and try their dishes, but there's no need for that now.

The day after Yang Guo's wedding, Ling Chi bid farewell to everyone and returned to Zhongnan Mountain.

Before leaving, Guo Xiang and Guo Polu were extremely reluctant to part, each clinging to his legs and refusing to let him go. Guo Xiang even kept shedding tears, which was quite pitiful.

He spent a long time coaxing and signing a series of unequal treaties before he finally calmed the little angel down.

On the other hand, at Lu Wushuang's insistence, Cheng Ying joined their return journey.

Huang Yaoshi said that Cheng Ying had completed her apprenticeship and was now free to move about as she pleased. He himself stayed at the Guo residence for two days before returning to Peach Blossom Island.

Now that Guo Jing has become the garrison commander of Xiangyang and his family has settled there, Peach Blossom Island has become idle. Huang Yaoshi left Peach Blossom Island back then simply because he disliked crowds; he grew tired of living with his daughter and son-in-law after a few months. Now that the island is deserted, he can finally go home.

……

Perhaps because her sweetheart had already gotten married, Lu Wushuang had settled into a life of leisure since returning to the cabin, spending her days eating, sleeping, and playing. If it weren't for Ling Chi's insistence, she probably would have given up even her daily martial arts practice.

Ling Chi felt it was time to find her a husband, but he was also afraid that she would bring trouble to her in-laws after marriage, and he couldn't bear to do so. It wasn't that he was being modest; with Lu Wushuang's current martial arts skills, there were truly very few people in the world who could subdue her. If she were unhappy in her in-laws' home, it could really lead to someone's death.

"Wushuang, you can't keep going like this every day." After about a month, Cheng Ying couldn't stand it anymore. One evening, while taking a walk after dinner, she advised Lu Wushuang for the first time: "If you only know how to eat, drink, and have fun every day, how will you get married in the future?"

"I'm not getting married." Lu Wushuang popped a peanut into her mouth and said, "From now on, I'll just follow my big brother and live off him."

"..." Cheng Ying frowned and said, "Why should Brother Ling support you?"

"Tsk." Lu Wushuang waved her hand in annoyance: "At most, I'll be his bed warmer, and that'll at least guarantee me a lifetime of food and drink!"

"You... how could you think that!?" Cheng Ying was shocked.

This shameless idea has crossed her moral bottom line.
