Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Yilin gave a soft "hmm" and asked, "Senior Brother Ling, how is Brother Linghu doing now? Is he feeling better?"

Linghu Chong's blood-covered appearance yesterday was so frightening that she couldn't forget it for a long time. That's why she went to find Master Dingyi early this morning, using the pretext of a visit to see Linghu Chong.

Upon hearing this, before Ling Chi could speak, Yue Lingshan's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that she liked the senior brother?

Take a closer look at Yilin, and then think about Linghu Chong's awful appearance...

Yue Lingshan felt a pang of pity: she was afraid that it would be unfair to her junior sister Yilin.

As expected, she was asking about Senior Brother. Ling Chi sighed inwardly, but smiled on his face: "Don't worry, Junior Sister Yilin, in two or three days at most, Senior Brother will be bouncing around looking for wine again." He turned to Yue Lingshan: "If you don't believe me, ask Senior Sister."

“That’s right.” Yue Lingshan came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to understanding Linghu Chong better than Yue Lingshan, who else in the world can compare?

No! As childhood sweethearts who grew up together and even practiced the Chongling Sword Technique together, the two had virtually no secrets between them. Yue Lingshan knew Linghu Chong's character all too well and couldn't help but blurt out, "Senior Brother is a heavy drinker; he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't drink for a day, and he can't be happy without being drunk." She paused, then continued, "Junior Sister Yilin, do you know why Senior Brother happened to be passing by and saved you that day?"

"Why?" Yilin asked curiously.

Yue Lingshan said helplessly, "Because my senior brother got drunk in Hengyang fighting with others for wine and couldn't travel, we had to go to Hengshan City a day later. That's how we ended up saving junior sister Yilin by chance."

At this point, he suddenly looked at Yilin thoughtfully and chuckled, "So, it's all thanks to Senior Brother being so drunk, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to meet by chance and save Junior Sister Yilin. Perhaps this is fate!"

If any other woman heard these words, she would surely blush with shyness, but Yilin simply nodded happily, "Yes, I also feel that I am destined to be with Brother Linghu. Brother Linghu is a good person."

"..."

Ling Chi almost burst out laughing. She hadn't expected Linghu Chong to be friend-zoned. It seemed Yilin hadn't developed romantic feelings for Linghu Chong yet, which was quite amusing.

The three chatted for a long time afterward, during which Ling Chi learned about Yi Lin's past. Unlike reading novels or watching TV dramas back then, the Yi Lin in this world was flesh and blood, and the stories she told contained many details not mentioned in the original work, which gradually made her image more complete in Ling Chi's mind.

Overall, Yilin is indeed that innocent and naive little nun, but with added details, she becomes even more charming and adorable. For example, Yilin said something that almost made Ling Chi and Yue Lingshan laugh themselves to death.

“That day, Master caught a cold, and I prepared the medicine for him. Just as I was about to take it to him, my senior sister burst in. Seeing the medicine in my hand, she said, ‘Junior sister, I didn’t expect you to care about your senior sister so much. Knowing that your senior sister was pregnant, you made her some sweet soup. Your senior sister’s love for you has not been in vain.’”

I knew my senior sister had misunderstood, so I said it was medicine brewed for Master. She didn't believe me and said I was teasing her, insisting on drinking it. Then she snatched the bowl away and took a big gulp…”

"Hahaha……"

Yue Lingshan laughed so hard she collapsed onto the table: "Your senior sister is hilarious! What happened next?"

"My senior sister drank Master's medicine and then vomited it out, so Master had no medicine to take and punished her by making her clean the outhouse for half a year." At this point, Yilin's words were filled with self-reproach: "If only I had persuaded my senior sister more back then, she wouldn't have been punished."

"What does this have to do with Junior Sister Yilin?" Ling Chi laughed. "In the end, it was your senior sister who was too clever for her own good, but she still didn't believe you after you reminded her, which is why she got this lesson."

Yilin shook her head: "This matter was ultimately caused by me. After that, I took the initiative to help my senior sister clean the outhouse, but half a month later, I was accidentally discovered by my master, and as a result, my senior sister was punished to clean the outhouse for another year."

"..."

"I felt guilty, so I wanted to continue helping my senior sister clean, but she always chased me away, saying not to let me hurt her." Yilin said aggrievedly, "I didn't hurt her! I just wanted to help her."

Ling Chi and Yue Lingshan looked at each other and burst into laughter.

This little nun is so funny.

……

Although they had a pleasant conversation, as night deepened, Ling Chi and Yue Lingshan got up to say goodbye.

Yilin asked reluctantly, "Senior Brother Ling, Senior Sister Yue, will you come again in the future?"

Faced with Yilin's longing gaze, Yue Lingshan was also reluctant to part, but all good things must come to an end, so what could she do no matter how reluctant she was?

After pursing her lips, Yue Lingshan finally came up with an idea: "After Master Liu retires from the martial arts world tomorrow, my junior brother and I will be returning to Mount Hua. How about the three of us get together one last time before we leave?"

"Okay, okay!" Yilin was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Then it's a date."

"It's a promise." Yue Lingshan nodded with a smile and said, "I'll have Junior Brother cook a good meal then. Junior Sister Yilin hasn't tried Junior Brother's cooking before, has she?"

"No." Yilin shook her head and said, "The food that Senior Brother Ling sells is too expensive, I can't afford it."

Yue Lingshan turned her head to look at Ling Chi.

Ling Chi coughed lightly: "Of course, you have to make money when you do business, but Junior Sister Yilin is not an outsider. After the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony tomorrow, I will personally cook a table of good dishes so that Junior Sister Yilin can eat her fill."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Senior Brother Ling?" Although she was very tempted, Yi Lin's kindness ultimately made her feel a little uneasy.

"No," Ling Chi said with a smile. "Cooking is my hobby. Besides, after we part tomorrow, I don't know when I will be able to see my junior sister again. As her senior brother, I will certainly prepare a feast to properly entertain her."

Yilin smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Ling. You're so kind."

It's so kind of you……

At least it's not a friend-zone rejection anymore, that's great.

……

On the way back from leaving Gaosheng Inn, Yue Lingshan gently pinched Ling Chi's arm and said in a sour tone, "Junior Brother, seeing how close you and Junior Sister Yilin are, when did you start dating?"

"What are you saying, Senior Sister? Junior Sister Yilin and I are completely innocent." Ling Chi looked at her downturned lips thoughtfully: "Senior Sister, are you jealous?"

"Who, who's jealous?" Yue Lingshan's face flushed red. Fortunately, it was already night, and although there were lanterns illuminating the streets from the shops or wealthy families every now and then, they still managed to hide the blush on her face. "I'm just worried that Junior Sister Yilin is too naive and will be taken advantage of by you, you scoundrel."

"Am I really that much of a lecher in my senior sister's eyes?" Although she was used to joking around, being called a lecher still made Ling Chi uncomfortable.

Seeing Ling Chi's somewhat cold tone, Yue Lingshan panicked and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake: "Okay! It was my fault, okay? I shouldn't have doubted Junior Brother's character. I'm sorry."

Ling Chi looked at her with some surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen Yue Lingshan take the initiative to apologize to someone. Where had the Yue Lingshan who, though not spoiled, was somewhat willful gone? Could it be that the person in front of him was a fake wearing a human skin mask?

Just as Ling Chi was smiling and preparing to accept the apology and cheer her up, they suddenly heard a whooshing sound, which alerted both Ling Chi and Yue Lingshan.

"Young Master Ling, do not be afraid, I mean no harm." A somewhat familiar voice came from ahead, and soon the person was standing five meters away.

Somewhat surprisingly, there were two people who came, not one.

One tall and one short, one male and one female.

"Brother Ling, Sister Yue, why are you out together so late? Where are you going to have some fun?" the little girl giggled.

Ling Chi was stunned: "It's you guys!"

Chapter Eighteen Entrusting the Orphan

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan.

Since killing Tian Boguang yesterday, the grandfather and grandson have disappeared into the crowd, and no one knows where they went. Their sudden appearance now is even more puzzling.

Ling Chi's eyes showed a hint of wariness.

Although he had read the original novel and knew that they weren't bad people, Qu Yang was still an elder of the Sun Moon Cult. He held an important position in such an evil organization, and Qu Yang simply couldn't believe that he hadn't been involved in anything shady.

Although Qu Feiyan is still a little girl, her quirky personality reveals that her upbringing was far from simple. Ling Chi never underestimates someone because of their age. After all, he himself is only twenty years old, and since being possessed by the system and experiencing two worlds, he has felt his mind growing rapidly.

If he's like this, how innocent could Qu Feiyan be, having grown up in an environment like the Sun Moon Cult?

He would rather believe that Yilin's mind was only twelve years old than believe that Qu Feiyan's mind was twelve years old.

Perhaps Qu Feiyan is actually Ai Haibara, who laughs at the world, and should never be treated like a child.

This world is real; it's not a novel or a movie. Complacency can kill you.

He wasn't afraid; at most, he'd be carried away by the system and continue running away. But what about Yue Lingshan beside him?

With bonds come concerns...

Ling Chi suddenly woke up with a start.

He had no relation to Shuang'er, but Yue Lingshan didn't have a quota for being accepted by the system. Once she died, she was truly dead, with no chance of being saved.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

"Is Young Master Ling feeling unwell?" Qu Yang keenly noticed Ling Chi's change.

"No." Ling Chi shook his head and said, "I wonder why you've come here so late at night, senior?"

Seeing that Ling Chi suspected them, Qu Yang was not surprised. On the contrary, he appreciated Ling Chi's vigilance. The martial world is dangerous; if one does not always remain vigilant, one will not live long.

"To be honest, I'm being shameless," Qu Yang said, looking embarrassed.

Ling Chi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by that, Senior?"

Qu Yang glanced at his granddaughter, sighed deeply, and bowed deeply to Ling Chi with his fists clasped.

"Why is Senior doing this?" Ling Chi stepped aside, unwilling to accept such a grand gesture.

"I have a favor to ask, and I hope Young Hero Ling will grant it." After saying this, Qu Yang bowed again.

This time, Ling Chi didn't dodge. He just glanced at Qu Feiyan, seemingly lost in thought.

"Please rise, senior." Ling Chixu helped him up, but said, "This junior doesn't even know your name, senior. You've gone too far."

Qu Yang smiled bitterly: "I know I shouldn't have done this, but time is running out, so I have no choice but to shamelessly ask Young Hero Ling for help."

He paused for a moment, then said, "As for my identity, young hero Ling, would you mind moving over there? I will inform you."

"There's no need for you to move," Ling Chi declined his request. "If there's nothing else, senior, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he took Yue Lingshan's hand and was about to leave.

"Young Master Ling, please wait!" Qu Yang was relieved to find that Ling Chi was not a naive young man who could be easily fooled. He no longer concealed anything: "To tell you the truth, I have a life-or-death crisis tomorrow. Although I have long since disregarded life and death, my granddaughter Fei Yan is still young. If I do not return, there will be no one to take care of her."

At this point, Qu Yang bent his knees and knelt down: "If I am unable to return after tomorrow, I beg Young Hero Ling to take care of me. I will repay you handsomely."

"Ah!?" Yue Lingshan was startled: "Senior, how can you do this? Get up quickly!"

"..."

Qu Feiyan said, "Grandpa, you're kneeling to the wrong person."

"Uh..." Qu Yang looked up and saw Yue Lingshan in front of him, then saw Ling Chi who had slipped to the side. Suddenly, he had a "MMP" in his mind, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Young Master Ling..." Qu Yang smiled wryly, this is too much!

Ling Chi didn't care what he was thinking and said calmly, "Although you are very sincere, you are reluctant to reveal your identity. How can I agree to that?"

It still doesn't work!

Qu Yang sighed and said, "To be honest, I am Qu Yang, an elder of the Sun Moon Divine Sect."

"The Sun Moon Cult!?" Yue Lingshan exclaimed in surprise, instinctively drawing her longsword.

"Senior Sister, wait a moment." Ling Chi pressed down on Yue Lingshan's sword-wielding hand and shook her head: "Let's hear what Senior Qu Yang has to say before we make a move."

Yue Lingshan was tense all over, showing how much pressure the infamy of the Sun Moon Sect elders had put on her. But the warmth from Ling Chi's hand and his calm tone instantly dispelled her panic and tension, and her previously pale face regained some color.

"Thank you, Young Hero Ling." Seeing that Ling Chi was willing to listen to his story, Qu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. After standing up, he told the story of his affair with Liu Zhengfeng and why Liu Zhengfeng had given up his life of crime.
