Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Life in Goguryeo was tough; there wasn't much good food. Although I hadn't reached 100% proficiency with this witch's recipe, I succeeded on my first try, with only a 30% chance.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Fu Cailin, a high-level purple-ranked diner. Conquest count +1. High-level purple-ranked recipe dropped - Mental Arithmetic."

"Mental Arithmetic: Advanced Purple Recipe, Mental Arithmetic +5, Valid for three uses."

……

Ling Chi looked at the detailed attributes of mental arithmetic. So-called mental arithmetic is not a calculation ability in mathematics or Go, but a general term for everything in the world that can be calculated.

For example, with the weather, he can calculate when, where, and over what area it will be windy and rainy by observing subtle changes in wind movement, cloud formations, and air humidity.

You can also calculate when a volcano will erupt or when an earthquake will occur by observing subtle changes in the geology beneath your feet. And all of this is done mentally, without the need for any paper or pen.

With a mental arithmetic ability of 15, Ling Chi felt that she could become a charlatan in the future.

With a single finger, he knocked Fu Cailin unconscious, then picked him up and prepared to leave.

"Stop!" Two young and beautiful figures blocked Ling Chi's path: "Who are you?! Put down my master!"

Ling Chi sized up the two girls in front of him. The older one was seventeen or eighteen years old and as beautiful as a flower, while the younger one was only fourteen or fifteen years old and looked a little immature. But there was no denying that their appearances were both top-notch. The older one could at least be rated nine points, while the younger one was even cuter, barely a ten.

Ling Chi thought of three people in Goguryeo who possessed such beauty and even called Fu Cailin their master: Fu Junzhuo, Fu Junyu, and Fu Junqiang. Judging by the timeline, Fu Junzhuo should have already gone to assassinate Yang Guang, so the two beautiful young women before him must be Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang.

Ling Chi smiled and said, "And who are you? How dare you block my way?"

"Hmph!" Seeing that Ling Chi dared to flirt with her, Fu Junyu's eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful face filled with murderous intent, and she raised her sword to stab at Ling Chi.

"Too inexperienced." Ling Chi advanced instead of retreating, pointing a finger at Fu Junyu, who immediately collapsed and was unable to get up.

"Second Senior Sister!" Fu Junqiang was terrified. Even her second senior sister was knocked down with a single finger. If it were her, wouldn't she be easy prey?

"Hehehe, little loli, it's your turn." Ling Chi stepped forward.

"No!" Fu Junqiang turned and ran away in fright.

Ling Chi flicked his finger, and Fu Junqiang fell to the ground.

……

Ten days later, Ling Chi pushed a wheelbarrow, leading Fu Cailin, Fu Junyu, and Fu Junqiang to the desert, where they found Bi Xuan.

After a relatively mild exchange of blows, Bi Xuan was defeated.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Bi Xuan, a high-level purple-ranked diner. Conquest count +1. High-level purple-ranked recipe dropped - Martial Venerable."

"Martial Venerable: Advanced Purple Recipe, increases all attributes by 200% during battle, 10-day cooldown."

……

What an amazing martial arts master! No wonder it's a high-level purple recipe; a 200% boost to all attributes, twice as strong as Qiao Feng's fighting spirit. A bite before battle—I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!

Seeing that Ling Chi defeated the Desert Martial Venerable Bi Xuan with little effort, Fu Cailin and his two disciples fell silent.

They couldn't win in a fight; escaping was out of the question. They felt their future was utterly bleak.

"You two little girls, come and eat." Ling Chi placed a whole roasted lamb on the cutting board and cut two lamb legs for them: "Eat up! It should taste good."

"..." Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang each took a bite.

"Ah, um~~~~"

The exhilarating feeling of ascending to heaven in broad daylight made them lose their senses, and they only wanted to remain immersed in it forever, never to wake up again.

Thinking back to those awful kimchi from Goguryeo, kimchi, kimchi sukiyaki, being a prisoner of war doesn't seem so bad.

Two days before Shi Feixuan's return to Peach Blossom Island, Ling Chi brought Fu Cailin, Bi Xuan, and two others back to the island. Only then did they realize that the super expert who had kidnapped them was actually the most mysterious island master of Peach Blossom Island for the past ten years.

"Huh?" Huang Rong and Shuang'er were very curious when they saw that Ling Chi had actually brought back two men this time, and two old men at that. "Brother Ling, you said you had something to do when you went out, but you just brought these two old men back?"

Ling Chi flicked Huang Rong's head and chuckled, "Stop being naughty. Do you know who they are?"

Huang Rong sized up Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan and said, "They do have the aura of grandmasters. Could they be Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan?"

“You got it right.” Ling Chi chuckled. “Right now, the world is in chaos. In order to prevent the alien races from doing evil, I have no choice but to arrest these two local people and put them in solitary confinement. They can also gain some experience points. With them around, it should only take a little over a year.”

Huang Rong chuckled, "So Brother Ling is going to raise pigs!"

Upon hearing Huang Rong's description of them, Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan were furious, but unfortunately, Ling Chi had sealed all their major acupoints and placed a life-or-death talisman on them, leaving them powerless to resist.

Now, the tiger has fallen into the plains and is being bullied by dogs; the two grandmasters could only embrace each other and weep.

"But who are these two younger sisters?" Huang Rong looked at Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang.

Fu Junyu was alright, but Fu Junqiang actually possessed beauty no less than her original self; she was quite a beautiful young woman.

“They are Fu Cailin’s apprentices. The older one is Fu Junyu, and the younger one is Fu Junqiang,” Ling Chi said. “Originally, there was also an older apprentice named Fu Junzhuo, but Fu Cailin sent her to assassinate Yang Guang. I don’t know where she is now, otherwise I would have captured her as well.”

Huang Rong rolled her eyes: "Why bring them back? They'll just be kept around to eat for free."

Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang felt uncomfortable upon hearing this, and their future seemed to darken even further.

“Let them work as waitresses!” Ling Chi said. “They are all beauties from Goguryeo, with exotic charm. I believe the customers will love them.”

"Hmm?" Huang Rong looked them over and noticed that they all had single eyelids, which did give them a unique exotic look. She nodded and said, "Alright then! Let Qingju, Qinglian, and Qingping train them for a while, and then they can work as waitresses in the VIP area!"

"You decide what to do." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Ji and Jun Qiang are close in age, so let Xiao Ji take care of Jun Qiang more. Although they are prisoners, they may become our own people in the future."

Huang Rong pouted and said, "Okay!"

……

Two days later, Shi Feixuan returned and began her three-year training program.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Twin Dragons Die Before They Even Emerge

In Yangzhou, there were two petty thugs, one named Kou Zhong and the other Xu Ziling. They were not very capable and spent their days stealing, cheating, and swindling to make a living.

But today, they inadvertently stole a treasure: the "Longevity Secret," a supreme Taoist manual.

However, they also ran into big trouble. When Yuwen Huaji, the leader of the Yuwen clan, saw that the "Longevity Manual" had been stolen, he immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and a thorough search to be conducted. With no other choice, the two of them had to crawl into the sewers, getting covered in stench, before they could escape from the city.

In a grove of trees about seven or eight miles outside Yangzhou, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stripped naked, washed their clothes by the stream, and hung them on the bushes to dry in the afternoon sun. The "Longevity Manual" was placed on a rock.

Then, with a whoosh, the two swam freely in the stream to wash away the filth they had picked up while crossing the culvert.

The two were still young at heart. Having fled to this mountain forest for their lives, they were too exhausted to walk any further. However, thinking that they had escaped danger, their mood improved.

Just as they were having fun splashing in the water, a sweet groan came from the shore.

The two were startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

A woman wearing a bamboo hat and dressed in white stood gracefully on the bank, her beautiful eyes peering coldly at them through her veil, showing no concern whatsoever for their nakedness.

The two boys let out a strange cry, squatted down, and subconsciously reached out to cover their lower bodies.

Xu Ziling cried out, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see! Please, elder sister, spare us!"

Kou Zhong also shouted, "One coin for each glance. The young lady seems to have looked at you at least a hundred times. Let's charge her at half price or sixty percent. Leave a hundred copper coins and you can leave."

A cold smile played on the lips of the woman in white as she softly said, "You little brat, you deserve a beating."

She stretched out her delicate, onion-like hand and casually flicked two fingers. With two "plop" sounds, the two of them groaned simultaneously and tumbled into the stream. It took them a while to emerge from the water, having suffered quite a bit.

At the same time, Ling Chi, who had just landed lightly on a tree, saw this scene and rubbed his chin: It does resemble the Finger Flicking Divine Skill. Even if Fu Junzhuo's strength is not top-tier blue, it is not far off.

Lingchi Sect Instructor Fei Xuan has been there for over a month. During this time, everything on the island has been peaceful. Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan, whose acupoints have been sealed and who have been given life-or-death talismans, have not caused any trouble. They stay obediently in the modified cave every day. Yes, it is the cave where Zhou Botong was once imprisoned. They do nothing but eat and sleep every day, and occasionally stand on the mountaintop to look into the distance, like two waiting-for-husband stones.

They considered escaping, but they knew they couldn't. Even if they did escape, once the life-and-death talismans on their bodies activated, they would only suffer a painful death.

When the Life and Death Talisman first activated, they tried to be tough and endured it for a minute without uttering a sound. But that was the end of it. After that, they simply couldn't bear the pain and itching from the Life and Death Talisman. They abandoned their dignity as Grandmasters and their beliefs. At that moment, they only had two thoughts: either beg for mercy or die.

In the end, they chose to beg for mercy. After Ling Chi alleviated their symptoms, their spirit as Grandmasters dissipated. Having arrived on Peach Blossom Island, they no longer had the will to fight to the death; survival was all they needed. Moreover, besides restricting their movement, Ling Chi provided them with good food and drink every day and didn't make them work. Their lives were much more comfortable than before, and they even gained some weight.

If life could be like this forever, it wouldn't be bad, but as two of the three grandmasters, they absolutely did not believe that they could live such a happy life like pigs forever, because once pigs are fattened up, they will only be slaughtered and eaten.

Their biggest worry was when Ling Chi would eat their flesh.

Their current comfort and future anxieties weighed heavily on their minds. In comparison, Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang were living a much better life.

As the newest VIP area waitresses at Peach Blossom Island, the two women received instruction from three veterans. Both women are exceptionally intelligent and quickly learned how to serve VIPs, gradually becoming accustomed to it.

After getting used to it, they found that life on Peach Blossom Island was actually quite nice. Apart from serving guests and carrying plates every day, there wasn't much work to do. They spent most of their time resting. During their rest periods, a little girl named Yin Xiaoji would always come over to 'brainwash' Fu Junqiang.

Yes, in Fu Junyu's opinion, Yin Xiaoji was brainwashing his junior sister. Every time he came, he would tell her about the fun and interesting places on Peach Blossom Island, how nice the people were, and how delicious the food was.

Although she didn't deny that the food on Peach Blossom Island was indeed... well, very plentiful and delicious, making her unable to resist, she knew this must be a conspiracy by the other party to break down their will to resist after they wanted to live a life of luxury.

As time went on, she found that her will was being gradually eroded. In the dead of night, she even thought that living like this for the rest of her life wouldn't be so bad.

This is terrifying! We absolutely cannot let their plot succeed.

But a month after arriving on Peach Blossom Island, she realized she had failed. She was completely captivated by everything there. She no longer wanted to return to Goguryeo; she just wanted to spend her life on Peach Blossom Island.

What's so good about going back to Goguryeo? Every day, besides practicing martial arts, there's the constant risk of the country's demise; life is never easy. But on Peach Blossom Island, she lives a carefree life, free from worries, enjoying different delicious food every day, and the people there are genuinely kind, making her feel like she's part of a big family.

For two orphans, Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang, how luxurious it must be to receive the love and care of family. But here, they have everything they wanted, a happy life they could never have dreamed of in the past ten years.

They don't want to lose them, they absolutely cannot lose them!

But now that they are living a good life, the two sisters feel very worried and ashamed when they think of their senior sister who is still on orders to assassinate Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty.

"Brother Ling... could you bring our senior sister with you?"

Two days ago, Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang took the initiative to find Ling Chi and said the following sentence.

"We want our senior sister to live a happy life just like us."

Hearing the two women's words, Ling Chi smiled and said, "Leave it to me!"

Two days later, Ling Chi found Fu Junzhuo outside Yangzhou City and also met the Twin Dragons who had just stolen the Longevity Manual.

Ling Chi had no feelings for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. In the end, they were just two good-for-nothings who obtained unparalleled divine skills and then made a comeback by cheating. As long as their fortuitous encounters were cut off from the source, the two would just be worthless mud that couldn't be helped in the end.

These two brats treat the struggle for supremacy as a game, and they're likely to oppose their brother-in-law. Ling Chi won't let them get away with it.

At this moment, Fu Junzhuo, dressed in white, said calmly, "If I ask you a question, you must answer honestly, or I will teach you two brats another lesson."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling retreated to the other side of the shore, but dared not climb ashore naked. They were caught in a dilemma, extremely bewildered.

Kou Zhong, a master of adaptability, smiled obsequiously and said, "I will answer all your questions without reservation, Miss. Please feel free to ask."

Seeing that he was trying to act all scholarly but it was all a mess, Fu Junzhuo sneered, "What courage do you need to ask a brat like you?"

Xu Ziling was taken aback and said, "My brother here has never been good at speaking, so please feel free to ask, Miss."

Fu Junzhuo remained expressionless and as still as water as she asked, "Do you live nearby?"
