Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

……

Ling Chi put the blue carp spirit into the Chef God Space and smiled at Huang Rong, who was taking a bath, saying, "This is really good. This blue carp spirit is enough to support a hundred recipes."

Huang Rong pouted: "I could have done it all by myself, but you had to interfere."

"Haha, who told you you couldn't even take it down in an hour? If you had come any later, someone would have been here." Ling Chi laughed as he picked up a kitchen knife and began to gut the bluefish spirit, then took out a demon core from its body.

"It really has become a demon." Ling Chi looked at the azure demon core and felt the surging water elemental power within it, marveling, "As expected of a thousand-year-old fish demon, if the spiritual energy in this demon core were converted into innate true energy, it would be at least two or three hundred years old. Luckily, I leveled up two years ago, otherwise I would really be no match for it."

That's true. Two years ago, Ling Chi was limited by her level, and her maximum innate true qi value was only 200 years, which was less than that of this blue carp spirit. This proves that this blue carp spirit definitely had the strength of a Grandmaster. It's just a pity that it encountered Huang Rong and Ling Chi, who were at the limit of Grandmaster level.

Although it had narrowly escaped being killed by Huang Rong multiple times due to its natural advantages, it should never have jumped out of the water and was hit on the head by Ling Chi who was waiting outside.

"If it weren't for the upgrade, we wouldn't have come back!" Huang Rong leaned on the edge of the bathtub, watching Ling Chi skillfully dissect the bluefish with a 'dissecting knife' technique, and giggled, "Brother Ling, we worked so hard catching fish, aren't we going to get a reward?"

Ling Chi smiled and asked, "What reward do you want?"

"Hmm~~~" Huang Rong thought for a moment and said, "When I'm with Brother Ling, I want him to think only of me and not of any other woman."

“…That’s a bit difficult.” Ling Chi shook his head: “Thoughts are sometimes uncontrollable. Sometimes I don’t even know why I suddenly think of someone. I can’t guarantee it for you. Try thinking of someone else!”

Huang Rong nodded thoughtfully: "In that case... when Brother Ling is with me, please don't mention other women, okay?"

“Except for mentioning it unintentionally, I can guarantee it.” Ling Chi smiled. “But why have you started to be greedy? You weren’t like this before.”

"I just feel that I don't have enough time to spend alone with Brother Ling." Huang Rong's eyes were filled with regret. "If I had met Brother Ling in the first place, I promise I would have done no worse than Sister Shuang'er."

"..." Ling Chi's eyes softened a bit, and he smiled and said, "Shuang'er is Shuang'er, and you are you. In my heart, you and Shuang'er are no different."

"Liar." Huang Rong didn't believe it at all: "Brother Ling treats Sister Shuang'er differently from everyone else, everyone can see that."

"Is it that obvious?" Ling Chi was slightly surprised. After a moment's thought, he said, "After all, Shuang'er is the first person to stay by my side. Everyone has some special feelings about their first time, and that cannot be denied."

"That's why I feel helpless." Huang Rong pouted. "If it were me, I would definitely do better than Shuang'er."

“I believe you.” Ling Chi smiled. “So you became my ‘wife,’ and Shuang’er remains my ‘sister.’”

Although Shuang'er grew three years older by eating vegetables and became a fifteen-year-old girl, perhaps because her identity and feelings had not changed over the years, Shuang'er still presented herself as the younger sister, while Huang Rong officially stepped into the limelight and became Ling Chi's 'wife' in this world.

Although it was somewhat of a formality to face outsiders, Huang Rong still laughed happily when she heard Ling Chi's words: "That's true, I will definitely become Brother Ling's virtuous wife in the future."

“No need for later, you’re doing a great job right now.” Ling Chi smiled slightly: “Thanks to you all these years, Peach Blossom Island has been managed so well.”

Huang Rong smiled and said, "It's my duty."

……

Within a year, Ling Chi and Huang Rong traveled all over the world. Apart from ingredients that did not exist in this world, they found all the other purple ingredients. Except for those that could be grown or raised, Ling Chi turned them into ready-made purple delicacies.

After completing this journey, Ling Chi realized that her trip around the world more than a decade ago was merely tourism, while the past year had been nothing short of an adventure.

They plundered almost all the demons and monsters in this world, and it was through this plunder that they realized this world was more dangerous than any world they had ever been to before. The two encountered no fewer than ten life-threatening situations. On one occasion, Huang Rong was even struck by a monster that could generate electricity, and her heart stopped beating. Fortunately, Ling Chi knew first aid, which saved Huang Rong's life.

Ling Chi was once bound by a man-eating tree spirit, and several pieces of his flesh were gnawed off. Fortunately, his flaming blade came to the rescue. After all, a tree spirit is made of wood; how could it not ignite when it encounters fire?

Afterwards, Ling Chi ran into the farm and had Yi Lin recite a sutra for him. A sacred energy surged into his body, and in an instant, his flesh and blood grew back without leaving any scars.

Although Wang Chongyang was reluctant to admit it, in terms of supernatural powers alone, he was indeed inferior to Yilin. In particular, Yilin's supernatural powers were almost all of the compassionate and merciful type, which, in the context of an online game, would make her a perfect healer.

Low on health, low on mana? A quick heal and you're instantly back to full strength. Even if you're dead, a heal and you're back to full health. A god-tier healer can more than double the combat power of a team.

Although Yilin never fought for Lingchi, she never disappointed him when needed.

Then, as a reward, in the evening...

"Amitabha Buddha~~~~"

……

A year later, Ling Chi and Huang Rong returned to Peach Blossom Island.

Upon their return, Shuang'er hugged Ling Chi and Huang Rong tightly: "Brother, Rong'er, welcome home."

Although they could always meet in the Chef's Space, Shuang'er finally felt relieved at this moment. Heaven knows what she felt when she saw Ling Chi and Huang Rong seriously injured and on the verge of death over the past year.

"It's good that you're safe, it's good that you're safe."

"Don't worry," Ling Chi said, holding Shuang'er in his arms. "We're back now, aren't we?"

"Mmm." Shuang'er buried her face in his chest, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"..." Huang Rong hugged Shuang'er from behind, making her a sandwich filling.

……

"Young master and young mistress are back, that's wonderful!" The maids were overjoyed, because the young master and young mistress's return meant they could enjoy even better meals from now on.

No offense intended to Shuang'er. Shuang'er cooks very well, but she lacks the kind of ecstatic feeling that Ling Chi and Huang Rong give them. They haven't had Ling Chi and Huang Rong's cooking for a whole year, and their mouths are practically parched.

Ling Chi and Huang Rong had just returned to the island and wanted to wash away the dust of their journey. Huang Rong wasn't used to having a maid serve her a bath, so she dragged Shuang'er to scrub her back. Ling Chi, on the other hand, was pulled into the bathroom by the prettiest maid: "Young Master, this servant will serve you a bath."

Looking at the beautiful young woman in front of him, whose beauty rivaled that of Huang Rong and Xiaolongnu, with captivating eyes yet possessing a pure and innocent face, and an innate allure, Ling Chi swallowed hard and said, "Qing'er, you seem to have become even more beautiful."

Bai Qing'er's eyes were alluring, and her voice was even more captivating: "Thank you for the compliment, young master, but I can't compare to the young mistress!"

Ling Chi felt a jolt in her tailbone; it was too alluring. No wonder Bai Qing'er was the second most outstanding disciple of the Yin Gui Sect in the original novel, capable of rivaling Wanwan; in terms of talent, she was in no way inferior to Zhu Yuyan.

Ling Chi truly had to thank fate for its arrangement. Over a decade ago, he met Bai Qing'er, who had just had her family's property confiscated and was demoted to a courtesan. Born into an official family, Bai Qing'er, though only four or five years old at the time, was exquisitely beautiful.

He was preparing to redeem Bai Qing'er from her servitude, as the child was only four or five years old and shouldn't suffer such a fate. However, before he could act, two 'heroines' abducted Bai Qing'er.

Ling Chi, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch Bai Qing'er be taken away, so he chased after them and rescued her in the outskirts, driving away the two 'heroines'. Now that he thinks about it, those two 'heroines' must have been from the Yin Gui Sect. If he hadn't suddenly intervened, perhaps Bai Qing'er would already be Zhu Yuyan's disciple, vying for favor with Wanwan!

Ling Chi had always thought that Bai Qing'er had become so charming and alluring only because she had joined the Yin Gui Sect. However, during the more than ten years on Peach Blossom Island, apart from not practicing the Yin Gui Sect's martial arts, Bai Qing'er's innate seductive charm was not concealed by her pure appearance. As she grew older, Bai Qing'er also discovered that she seemed to be naturally able to arouse men's desires.

Therefore, Bai Qing'er has stopped doing reception work on Peach Blossom Island in recent years. She has been managing the vegetable garden and orchard on Peach Blossom Island and rarely sees people.

At the same time, she took the initiative to take on the role of Ling Chi's personal maid, serving him in his daily life. A year ago, Ling Chi and Huang Rong left Peach Blossom Island, and the business on Peach Blossom Island also closed down. Life was much easier than before, but Bai Qing'er always felt lost and didn't have as much energy as before.

Her reaction and thoughts could not be hidden from Shuang'er and the other intelligent and virtuous maids. Just like her, how could they not miss Ling Chi?

Day after day, month after month, Bai Qing'er finally saw Ling Chi return. She couldn't wait to help the young master bathe and change his clothes, to make him smell nice. This was her duty and honor as a maid.

"Young Master, is the pressure alright?" Bai Qing'er asked as she rubbed Ling Chi's back.

"Very good." Ling Chi lay on the back massage bed, humming comfortably.

Bai Qing'er's eyes were alluring: "Young Master, I've missed you so much this past year since you left!"

"Hehe, young master missed you too!" Ling Chi laughed. "I've been thinking all day about whether Qing'er has become even more beautiful. Today I saw that she is indeed more beautiful than a year ago. If she went out to meet people, I wonder how many playboys she would seduce?"

Bai Qing'er smiled and said, "Qing'er only wants to seduce the young master; I don't want any other men to see her."

Those words are so apt that Lingchi must raise a flag in respect.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qing'er's face flushed crimson, her beautiful eyes brimming with desire: "Young Master~~~~~"

I can't take it anymore.

"You little devil, take this from Old Ling!"

……

The news of Peach Blossom Island's reappearance reached the Dongming Sect within just a few days. Upon hearing the news, Shan Wanjing couldn't wait to board a boat and leave the island, heading towards Peach Blossom Island.

Other forces also received the news, which once again caused a stir in the government and the public, and even in different countries.

Luoyang, Yin Gui School.

When Yin Hou Zhu Yuyan heard this news, apart from being slightly surprised, she didn't have many thoughts. However, it was a bit too fantastical that Peach Blossom Island had reappeared in the East China Sea after a year.

"Could it be that Peach Blossom Island, like the Temple of the War God, is a self-contained space?" This possibility flashed in Zhu Yuyan's eyes as she thought of it, and she said, "Someone come here!"

"What are your orders, Sect Leader?" A disciple of the Yin Gui Sect entered and bowed.

"Go and call Wanwan over," Zhu Yuyan said.

"Yes."

Soon after, a beautiful woman stepped in; it was Wanwan.

At this moment, dressed in white and barefoot, she was still as agile as an elf, but compared to three years ago, she had gained three more points of maturity and charm, and was more attractive than three years ago, with the kind of charm that was enough to bewitch the world.

"Master summoned Wanwan, is there any instruction you have?" The voice was still as melodious as ever, even more alluring than before. Even Zhu Yuyan couldn't help but be moved and exclaimed, "Wanwan, your Heavenly Demon Technique has become increasingly profound."

After three years of diligent practice, Wanwan has cultivated the Heavenly Demon Great Art to the seventeenth level, the same level as Zhu Yuyan. However, because she entered the realm too recently, her skill is still slightly inferior to Zhu Yuyan's. Even so, she is the youngest disciple in the history of the Yin Gui Sect to reach the seventeenth level, completely on par with that genius disciple of Cihang Jingzhai.

Chapter Fifteen: The Most Powerful Grandmaster

"It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching." Wanwan smiled, which added to her radiance.

Zhu Yuyan smiled slightly and said, "I have a task for you."

"Master, just give the orders." Upon hearing there was a mission, Wanwan's eyes lit up, her heart pounding: A mission! I can go on a publicly funded trip! La la la…

"I want you..."

……

Jingnian Temple, on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Upon learning of Peach Blossom Island's reappearance, Liao Kong smiled and said, "Amitabha, congratulations!"

"Master, shall we visit Benefactor Ling on Peach Blossom Island?" asked Bu Chen, one of the Four Guardian Vajras.

Liao Kong glanced at him and smiled faintly: "Don't be angry, you're craving something again."

Bu Chen chuckled twice: "This disciple's six senses are impure, and I cannot overcome the temptation of food. I am truly ashamed."

Besides him, Bu Chi, Bu Tan, and Bu Ju also showed expressions of shame: "We are disciples too."

"Alas!" Liao Kong sighed, "In that case, you shall accompany this old monk to Peach Blossom Island!"

"Uh, is the Zen Master going too?"

"Why not go?" Liao Kong looked at them: "You're not the only ones who can't overcome your appetite."

"..."

……

Chang'an, the residence of the Duke of Tang.

Li Shimin entered Empress Zhangsun's boudoir, and Empress Zhangsun, who was embroidering, immediately stood up: "Why didn't you send a servant to announce my arrival, my lord? It is my fault that I could not greet you."

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head: "It was I who told them not to announce it." Seeing the pair of mandarin ducks embroidered by Empress Zhangsun, he praised: "These mandarin ducks are so lifelike, Madam, you have such good craftsmanship."
