Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Azhu smiled slightly: "Then... Brother Ling."

“That’s right.” Ling Chi smiled. “You are the daughter of a prince. It would be too much of a waste for you to be my maid.” He paused, then added, “But I will not marry you either. I hope you understand.”

A hint of sadness flashed in A'Zhu's eyes, but she forced a smile and said, "I understand."

"You won't marry my sister?!" Azi snapped, "How could you do this!"

"What can you do?" Ling Chi glanced at her and said, "You know I'm a womanizer."

"..." Azi was speechless.

"Alright," A'Zhu advised, "Brother Ling has been very good to me. Apart from not being able to marry me, he has never mistreated me in any other way."

“Azhu is right,” Abi said. “Young Master is the best person in the world. Any woman who wants to possess Young Master is delusional.”

“That’s a bit much,” Ling Chi laughed. “Everyone has selfish desires. When they see something beautiful, they want to possess it all. The only difference is whether they have the ability to possess it. It’s just a pity that I’m too outstanding to be possessed by one woman.”

The three girls: "..."

Azi pretended to vomit: "I have never seen such a shameless person as you."

"What shamelessness? I call this confidence." Ling Chi tossed his hair: "Using Pantene, that's how confident I am."

"..."

"And another thing," Ling Chi looked at Abi, "Didn't I tell you to call me Brother Ling? Why are you still calling me Young Master?"

Abi smiled slightly and said, "I am grateful for your kindness, young master, but I cannot be ungrateful. You will always be my young master, and I will never overstep my bounds."

"..." Sensing Abi's resolute attitude, Ling Chi nodded: "Whatever you say!"

The barbecue of river delicacies was quickly finished. Ling Chi poured water to extinguish the fire and said, "Let's go! Let's try to cross the river today."

The three women nodded, jumped onto the wheelbarrow, and in the next moment, they were speeding northwards.

About two hours after they left, Mu Wanqing rode her horse to the riverbank. She was tired and thirsty, so she immediately ran to the river and drank some water. But when she saw the many fish bones, shrimp shells, and clam shells on the riverbank, as well as the lingering fragrance of these things, she immediately came over to smell them. An unprecedented fragrance made her squint her eyes.

She could only think of one person who could grill these ordinary fish and shrimp into something so delicious. Judging by the freshness of these scraps, they must have been cooked for two or three hours.

"It ran so fast!" Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth, looking at the exhausted BMW. "Damn it! I won't give up!"

……

That noon, Ling Chi led the three women to the Yangtze River ferry, boarded the ferry, and arrived on the other side of the Yangtze River in the afternoon, entering Sichuan province. After traveling for another half an hour, they stopped to rest in a small town.

Upon arriving here, Ling Chi recalled the Valley of Immortality. When he left the Valley of Immortality, there were still two purple-level exotic beasts that he had not yet conquered. And this place is not too far from the Valley of Immortality.

Ling Chi stroked his chin, deciding to go to the Valley of Immortality that night to subdue the two strange beasts. They had reached the purple level without relying on any external force, making them unique among all the diners Ling Chi had conquered.

Although Wang Chongyang was also a purple-level figure, he only broke through to the next level after receiving physical conditioning from Ling Chi. If it weren't for Ling Chi, he would have died long ago.

There's no reason to let go of two such powerful beasts.

……

That night, Ling Chi jumped out of the inn window, identified the direction, and shot off towards the Valley of Immortality.

Ling Chi has now reached the maximum value of a normal purple-grade agility attribute, reaching a terrifying 2,000 points. An average person can jog about 12 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to 1 point of agility. Ling Chi's agility is 2,000 times that of an average person. If calculated normally, his speed should reach more than 24,000 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to 20 times the speed of sound.

But it didn't.

Ling Chi had calculated that if he ran at full speed, he would be exhausted in five minutes, let alone an hour. However, in those five minutes, he could run 500 kilometers, which, at an hourly rate, would be 6,000 kilometers. That's roughly five times the speed of sound.

However, if you allocate your energy, jogging for an hour will only allow you to cover a distance of over 2,000 kilometers, which is only twice the speed of sound.

Faced with the mysterious discrepancy between the agility points and the calculated data, Ling Chi also asked the system. The system's answer was: "Full agility can only occur during a burst of speed, lasting for 0.1 seconds."

This answer made Ling Chi realize that the fastest human speed is actually the instantaneous burst of speed, not when running at full speed. Therefore, the speed of sound he thought he had reached was only 20 times the speed of sound. If we consider it as running at a constant speed, it would only be twice the speed of sound, a decrease of ten times.

Even so, twice the speed of sound is already amazing. Modern mainstream fighter jets have a maximum speed of around that. Moreover, Ling Chi is running at a constant speed. If he were to sprint at full speed, he could instantly reach five times the speed of sound, which even an F-22 or J-20 could not catch up with.

Ling Chi can now stand there smug for a while.

The Valley of Immortality is only 200 kilometers away from the town. Ling Chi ran at full speed for two minutes and arrived there. At this time, he checked his physical strength and found that it had dropped by 40%, which was normal.

Upon entering the Valley of Immortality, the villagers were fast asleep, and no one was patrolling at night.

In addition, he discovered some anomalies.

The spiritual energy here is not as abundant as it used to be.

Ling Chi pinched his chin, thinking to himself: It seems that without the Fountain of Youth, this place is no different from the outside world.

Without wasting any more time, he ran toward the territory of the purple hedgehog.

His footsteps startled the sleeping hedgehog. Upon seeing him, the hedgehog excitedly ran over, stood upright in front of him, stretched out its front paws to its mouth, and squeaked.

"..." Ling Chi chuckled and said, "Brother Hedgehog, do you want to eat something delicious?"

"Squeak, squeak." The hedgehog nodded repeatedly.

"I prepared it for you a long time ago." Ling Chi took out ten plates of the same dish in one go and said, "Eat up!"

The hedgehog's tiny green eyes lit up instantly, and it excitedly pounced on the vegetables to feast.

"Squeak! (Delicious!)"

When the hedgehog had eaten its eighth plate, Ling Chi finally heard the long-awaited notification sound.

"Ding! Conquered the brazen stomach of an ordinary purple diner, conquest count +1. Dropped ordinary purple recipe - Unpalatable."

"Unable to begin: A common purple recipe. When in danger, the hair can transform into steel needles to defend against enemies. The effects cannot be stacked."

Upon seeing the attributes of this recipe, Ling Chi only had two words in his mind—awesome!

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen a recipe with such an effect—hair turning into steel needles… He decided that from now on, whenever he encountered an enemy, he would use his head to ram them and stab them to death.

While the monkey was engrossed in its illusion, Ling Chi gathered up the two untouched dishes and ran towards the monkey's territory.

Just then, the golden monkey had finished mating with its mother and was fast asleep on a branch when suddenly a small pebble flew over and hit it on the head.

The golden monkey opened its eyes, which shimmered with golden light in the night, reflecting everything clearly. Nothing could be hidden from its sight.

It saw a familiar human waving at it.

"Squeak!" The golden monkey rushed to Ling Chi like lightning, squeaking and rummaging all over him.

"Hey, what are you doing? I don't have any food on me," Ling Chi said.

Upon hearing this, the golden monkey instantly collapsed to the ground, drooping its head, looking utterly bored.

"..." Ling Chi chuckled, and two plates of food suddenly appeared in his hand, the same two plates he had taken from Da Chaocha: "Look, what's this?"

"Squeak!" The golden monkey's eyes lit up again, and it hurriedly snatched the food and stuffed it into its mouth, eating with great relish.

Soon, the golden monkey finished both dishes, its golden eyes fixed on him.

"..."

He took out two more dishes: "Eat up!"

"Squeak, squeak!" The golden monkey squealed happily twice and began to eat heartily.

Two rounds after two rounds, and two rounds after two rounds, until he had taken out twenty-four rounds, he finally heard that damned notification sound.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the ordinary purple-level diner, Golden-Eyed Monkey. Conquest count +1. Dropped ordinary purple-level recipe - Golden-Eyed Monkey."

"Golden Eyes: A common purple recipe that can distinguish the authenticity of all things of the same or lower level. The effect cannot be stacked."

Ling Chi's eyes lit up again. Monkey King, you're awesome!

Once the golden-eyed monkey regained consciousness from the illusion, Ling Chi asked, "Brother Monkey, would you like to come with me to a place with endless delicious food?"

"Squeak?" The golden-eyed monkey understood his words and asked him with its eyes, "Where?"

“It’s very far away,” Ling Chi said. “If you want to come with me, you have to leave everything here behind. Can you do that?”

"..." The golden-eyed monkey remained silent for a long time, then turned its head to look at the sleeping troop of monkeys, where its mother and children were.

"Squeak." The golden-eyed monkey pointed at the troop of monkeys, as if asking: Can I take them with me?

“No way.” Ling Chi shook his head. There were too many monkeys, at least three hundred. Monkeys are naturally mischievous; if they were all let in, the farm would be turned upside down.

Let them manage the orchard? Give me a break! What's the difference between that and the Jade Emperor letting Sun Wukong manage the Peach Orchard?

Therefore, Ling Chi firmly refused.

The golden-eyed monkey instantly felt dejected.

Ling Chi couldn't bear to see this and said, "How about this? I can let you bring a female monkey."

The golden-eyed monkey's eyes lit up, and it stretched out five fingers—no, not five, but two hands, ten in total.

“…” Ling Chi turned and left.

"Squeak!" The golden-eyed monkey grabbed him and held up five fingers.

Ling Chi continued walking.

"Squeak!" This time, the golden-eyed monkey only stretched out two fingers, looking at him pitifully.

"..." Ling Chi said helplessly, "Alright!"

"Squeak!" The golden-eyed monkey happily somersaulted and ran towards the troop of monkeys.

Soon, it selected the two most beautiful female monkeys and dragged them towards Lingchi.

"Squeak (I've made my choice)." The golden-eyed monkey blinked. "Squeak (Shall we go?)"

"..." Ling Chi looked at the two female monkeys. They were very small, only about 50 or 60 centimeters tall, half the height of the golden-eyed monkeys. They also looked very young, about five or six years old, which would be about thirteen or fourteen years old in human years!

Ling Chi glanced at the golden-eyed monkey, but the monkey didn't understand Ling Chi's look and just felt it was strange.

"Squeak?"

Ling Chi shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go now!"

“Recruiting golden-eyed monkeys, recruiting bold and unruly monkeys, recruiting these two little female monkeys.”

……

The next day, near dusk, Ling Chi escorted A Zi to Luoyang. At Qiao Feng and A Zi's insistence, he, A Zhu, and A Bi stayed in Luoyang for another three days before departing.

The day after they left, Mu Wanqing went straight to the Beggars' Sect headquarters: "Ling Chi! Come out and face your death!"

"..." Azi poked her head out: "Oh! It's Sister Mu! You're late, my brother-in-law left yesterday."

Mu Wanqing took a deep breath and asked, "Where did he go?"
