Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged a glance, then one nodded and the other shook his head.

When the wind struck again, their pressure points were hit, their knees buckled, and they fell back into the water. It took them a while to struggle to their feet, looking utterly disheveled.

Fu Junzhuo said nonchalantly, "If I hear another lie, you'll never get back up."

Both of them were terrified by Fu Junzhuo's ruthlessness, but they had already developed a tough backbone under the oppression of the notorious boss Yan Kuan.

Kou Zhong said with a smile, "Great Master, you have misunderstood. I nodded because I do live in Yuejia Village nearby. He shook his head because he lives in the city. Today, my brother came to the outskirts of the city specifically to visit me, which is why he is showing you our innocent bodies now."

Xu Ziling burst into laughter upon hearing this, but quickly covered his mouth, afraid of angering the evil demon.

Fu Junzhuo remained unmoved and coldly said, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll stick your tongue out. Why do you call me Great Master?"

Fearing that Kou Zhong might speak recklessly, Xu Ziling quickly said, "He only addressed you as 'Great Master' because you resemble the white-robed Guanyin Bodhisattva. He only meant respect and had no other intention."

The scene was truly bizarre: a cold and enigmatic woman stood indifferently before two embarrassed and disheveled young men who had hidden their naked bodies in the stream. If anyone else had seen them, they would have racked their brains but never been able to figure out the relationship between them.

Fu Junzhuo's gaze fell on the "Longevity Manual" written on the rocks by the shore, and she asked, "What is that?"

Kou Zhong revealed no intention whatsoever, and said respectfully, "That is the book of sages that Master Bai ordered us to read. Would you like to take a look, Great Master?"

Before Fu Junzhuo could speak, Ling Chi jumped down from the tree: "Alright! Let me see."

The sudden turn of events startled all three, especially Fu Junzhuo, who was utterly shocked: When did this person appear? Why didn't I notice?!

Ling Chi glanced at Fu Junzhuo, whose face was veiled in white gauze, smiled slightly, then walked to the rocks by the shore and picked up the "Longevity Manual": "Oh! Isn't this Shi Long's 'Longevity Manual'? How come it's in the hands of you two little devils?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were horrified, and Fu Junzhuo exclaimed, "The Longevity Manual!? Could it be the Longevity Manual, one of the four great martial arts books!?"

“Yes.” Ling Chi stuffed the book into his pocket and said, “I saw this book at Shi Long’s place three years ago. Now it’s in the hands of these two lads. Hmm?” Ling Chi looked them over and smiled faintly, “Judging from your shady appearance, you must be two thieves. You must have stolen this ‘Longevity Manual’ by accident!”

At this point, ignoring the two dragons' pale faces, he clapped his hands and said, "Ah! I know! Yuwen Huaji ordered the city to be sealed off because he was trying to seize the 'Longevity Manual.' You two must have escaped from the city!"

Seeing that Ling Chi had guessed everything correctly, the two dragons turned pale, knowing that things were going to be bad this time.

Fu Junzhuo took in their reactions and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What despicable little thieves! How dare they lie to me."

With two soft "plop" sounds, a bloody hole appeared on each of the two dragons' foreheads. They showed no reaction or pain, and died without any explanation.

The stream was stained red with blood.

Ling Chi blew on his right index and middle fingers and said, "Since he dared to lie to you, then kill him!"

Fu Junzhuo: "..."

Ling Chi's ruthlessness and decisiveness exceeded Fu Junzhuo's expectations, and at the same time, her sense of crisis grew stronger. Her right hand rested on the hilt of her sword, her eyes cold: "Who exactly are you?"

“I am the master of Peach Blossom Island.” Ling Chi did not hide anything and smiled slightly: “Not long ago, your master and junior sister were captured by me and brought to Peach Blossom Island. Now, only you are missing.”

"What!?" Fu Junzhuo was shocked and furious, drawing her longsword: "How dare you..."

puff--

Ling Chi pointed a finger into the air and struck Fu Junzhuo's Tanzhong acupoint, rendering her instantly immobile.

"You...bastard! Let me go!" Fu Junzhu struggled fiercely, frantically trying to break through her acupoints, but the difference in their levels was too great. Even if she used 200% of her ability to resist, it was all in vain.

"Don't get excited, eat a big stick to calm down." Ling Chi stuffed an ice pop into Fu Junzhuo's mouth, which stopped her cursing, but did not subdue her.

This is to be expected, since popsicles are just ordinary blue-level food, while Fu Junzhuo should have reached the top blue level, so popsicles are of course useless to her.

"What a pity," Ling Chi sighed. "Actually, I quite like conquering people with my big stick."

With Ling Chi's sigh, the two elders of Xuanming officially withdrew from the stage of history.

(The Xuanming Elders: "...")

Ling Chi fed Fu Junzhuo a top-tier blue dish.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Fu Junzhuo, a top-tier blue-level diner. However, the diner's level is too low to count towards the conquest count. A top-tier blue-level recipe, Rakshasa, has been dropped."

"Rakshasa: Top-tier blue recipe, Appearance +3, Murder Intent +3, Valid for three uses."

Upon seeing the name and effects of this dish, Ling Chi chuckled: "It does fit Rakshasa's style quite well."

Rakshasa are evil spirits that eat human flesh; the males are extremely ugly, while the females are exceptionally beautiful.

Fu Junzhuo's style of doing things is extremely ruthless. She never hesitates to kill. During her time in the Great Sui Dynasty, she has killed quite a few people. She has never shown any mercy. It is quite dramatic that such a woman becomes the guide of the Twin Dragons in the original work and is even recognized as their 'mother' by the Twin Dragons.

But now that Shuanglong is dead and Fu Junzhuo is a prisoner, Ling Chi feels that his mission is accomplished and he can return to the island.

……

Night had just fallen when Ling Chi returned to Peach Blossom Island. In just one hour, Fu Junzhuo's worldview was completely overturned.

Did you know? She and Ling Chi actually flew back.

She didn't know what happened, but Ling Chi had one arm around her waist and jumped hundreds of meters into the air, and then they flew to Peach Blossom Island without any obstruction.

The wind was so strong that it turned her once smooth, flowing hair into a mess. But being hundreds of meters in the air, looking down at the earth and the sea, the vastness and magnificence were breathtaking, which profoundly changed her worldview.

After Ling Chi landed on Peach Blossom Island, he called out to the room where the maids were resting: "Fu Junyu, Fu Junqiang, I've brought your senior sister over."

After a commotion, two beautiful young girls dressed as maids ran out of the room. Seeing Fu Junzhuo with her clothes disheveled and hair loose, they exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister!"

Looking at her two junior sisters, Fu Junzhuo wondered if it was just her imagination, but they seemed to have a much rosier complexion than before, and even looked a bit prettier.

"you……"

"Senior sister, you're alright, that's great." Fu Junqiang threw herself into her arms, tears streaming down her face. "Waaah, I was so afraid something would happen to you, senior sister. I've been dreaming about you covered in blood these past few days. Thank God, you're alright."

"..." Fu Junzhuo stroked Fu Junqiang's hair, then turned to look at Fu Junyu: "What exactly happened? Why are you all like this? Where is Master?"

“Master is in a cave in the northwest of Peach Blossom Island, and Martial Venerable Bi Xuan is also there,” Fu Junyu said. “Junqiang and I are now maids of Peach Blossom Island, responsible for entertaining distinguished guests who come here to dine.”

"What!?" Fu Junzhuo's worldview collapsed again.

Ling Chi patted her on the shoulder and said, "You two sisters should have a good talk! I'm leaving now."

"Thank you, young master." Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang quickly bowed, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

Ling Chi waved his hand: "Your senior sister is covered in dust, take her to wash up! And let her experience the benefits of Peach Blossom Island."

"Ah."

……

Fu Junzhuo soaked in the spacious bathtub, enjoying the temperature of the water and eating the snacks placed beside the tub. She had never felt so comfortable in her life.

"That's what happened." Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang accompanied her as she soaked in the hot water, and they recounted the whole story in detail.

After listening to their story, Fu Junzhuo's expression kept changing: "He easily captured you and even defeated Master and Bi Xuan?"

“Hmm.” Fu Junyu nodded: “When we found him in Goguryeo, our master had already been defeated by him. At the time, we thought he had defeated our master by despicable means and we were very angry. It wasn’t until we saw Bi Xuan being easily defeated by him that we realized his martial arts were exceptionally high, perhaps even reaching the level of breaking through the void.”

"Shattering the void... Is it really possible for someone to shatter the void?" Fu Junzhuo was skeptical. Even a grandmaster like her master couldn't sense the slightest possibility of shattering the void, so she didn't believe anyone could truly do it. But Ling Chi's displayed strength was simply too overwhelming, forcing her to reconsider the possibility of shattering the void.

"I don't know." Fu Junyu shook his head and said, "But if you ask him, you might get the answer."

Fu Junzhuo was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you know, he and I flew back."

"Ah! Flying?" Fu Junqiang exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister, did you really fly back?"

Fu Junzhuo nodded: "I never dreamed that there would be someone in the world who could fly through the air, and at such an incredible speed. They left Yangzhou in the afternoon and arrived at Peach Blossom Island just after nightfall. It was only an hour in total."

"Wow! Young Master is amazing." Fu Junqiang's eyes were sparkling.

"..." Seeing her junior sister looking like a fangirl, Fu Junzhuo hesitated to speak.

Fu Junyu sighed, "Since the beginning of recorded history, the only things that can fly are birds and immortals. He is not a bird, then..."

"Young Master must be a god," Fu Junqiang said excitedly. "Otherwise, how could Master and Bi Xuan have been so easily defeated by Young Master?"

This fangirl-like logic is beyond words, yet there's no evidence to refute it. Besides, they're all prisoners now; only if Ling Chi becomes so powerful that they can't resist will they refrain from rebelling.

That's human nature; only when people see no hope will they not have the desire to defy fate.

The more they mythologized Lingchi in their hearts, the more they could convince themselves: don't resist, just enjoy everything on Peach Blossom Island.

Ling Chi's capture of Fu Junzhuo was not enough to subdue her, but after flying in the air for an hour, her psychological defenses were completely broken down. Faced with Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang's 'brainwashing,' she resigned herself to her fate.

"Will I also become a maid on Peach Blossom Island in the future?" Fu Junzhuo smiled wryly.

“Senior sister, being a maid on Peach Blossom Island is great,” Fu Junqiang said. “All you have to do every day is serve dishes and carry plates. It’s very easy. Plus, you can eat a lot of different delicious food every day. The people here are like family to us. They treat us very well. You’ll definitely love living here.”

Fu Junzhuo: "..."

……

The next day, while Ling Chi was having breakfast, Fu Junzhuo, who had barely slept all night, came to find him.

Seeing her panda eyes, Ling Chi asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Fu Junzhuo looked at him calmly and said, "What are your plans for me?"

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "You are calm and decisive by nature. In that case, you will be in charge of security on Peach Blossom Island! If any guests break the rules, you can teach them a lesson, just don't kill anyone."

Fu Junzhuo was silent for a moment, then said, "Could you release my master?"

“Not for now.” Ling Chi put down his chopsticks and said calmly, “I still have a great use for them. Once they’re no longer useful, I’ll naturally let them go back.” He paused, then sneered, “I just wonder how long they can survive after leaving Peach Blossom Island?”

"..." Fu Junzhuo's breathing became rapid: "You..."

"Killing them now would be as easy as turning my hand." Upon hearing this, Fu Junzhuo dared not speak.

"Yuzhen!" Ling Chi called out.

A charming young woman dressed as a maidservant strode over: "What are your orders, young master?"

Ling Chi pointed at Fu Junzhuo and said, "She will be in charge of security on Peach Blossom Island from now on. You take her to familiarize herself with the environment and teach her the rules of Peach Blossom Island."

"Yes." Yun Yuzhen bowed, looked Fu Junzhuo up and down, and chuckled: "What a beautiful woman! Young Master is so lucky. It seems that all the beauties in the world have been gathered by Young Master and brought to Peach Blossom Island!"

Ling Chi patted her and laughed, scolding, "You're just praising yourself. Aren't you going to take her with you?"

"Ouch!" Yun Yuzhen's eyes sparkled, her voice sweet and charming: "Young Master, it hurts!"

Ling Chi raised his hand again.

Yun Yuzhen dodged and chuckled, "Little sister, come with me!" Then she swayed her hips and walked outside.

Fu Junzhuo glanced at her, sighed softly, and resignedly followed.

Ling Chi picked up his bowl and chopsticks again and said, "Wu Gou, eat!"

"Hmm." Changsun Wugou peeled an egg and asked, "Brother Ling, is she Junyu and Junqiang's senior sister?"

“Yes.” Ling Chi took a bite of pickled vegetables and said, “Her martial arts skills are quite high; she can be considered a top-notch expert in the martial arts world.”
