Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Then Ling Chi used wood magic to create a long vine, hung the clothes on it, used wind magic to blow on them, and used fire magic to heat them. With these two methods working together, all the clothes were dry in just five minutes.

Shi Qingxuan: "(｀°Д°')!!"

Seeing her adorable expression, Ling Chi chuckled and said, "Alright, put the clothes away!"

"Huh? Oh." Shi Qingxuan looked at him with shining eyes as she gathered the clothes and asked, "Big brother, was that... magic just now?"

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Guess."

Shi Qingxuan pouted, "Big brother is teasing me again."

"Hahaha." Ling Chi laughed loudly: "Third Sister is right, this is indeed magic."

Shi Qingxuan's eyes lit up even more: "Big brother, everyone says you are mysterious and unpredictable. Could you be a god?"

“No.” Ling Chi shook his head, paused, and added, “Not yet.”

Currently?

Shi Qingxuan's heart stirred: From then on...

Shi Qingxuan took a deep breath and said, "Big brother, come home with me to rest for a bit, then we'll go to Mother's grave, okay?"

"it is good."

……

Shi Qingxuan's home consisted of a few small stone houses. The houses looked very simple from the outside, but once inside, they were surprisingly spacious and secluded.

Overall, the room's furnishings not only exude a scholarly atmosphere with desks, bookshelves, and paintings, but also an artistic feel with instruments like the zither, pipa, xiao, and bamboo flute. The two atmospheres blend together perfectly, though the room looks a bit old.

It's likely that the refined atmosphere was created by the Evil King Shi Zhixuan back then, while the artistic atmosphere was created by Bi Xiuxin. Growing up in such an environment, it's no wonder Shi Qingxuan became a master of her generation.

Compared to Ling Chi's curiosity, Shi Qingxuan was somewhat shy. This was the first time she had allowed a young man into her boudoir. Although the social customs of the Sui and Tang dynasties were open, it still took a lot of courage for her to invite a young man into her boudoir.

Shi Qingxuan's heart was pounding, but she kept trying to comfort herself.

He's the eldest brother, not an outsider, it's okay.

Chapter 41 If it weren't for liking

"Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger, Front Vermilion Bird, Back Black Tortoise" is probably a phrase people hear most often at cemeteries. This is a summary of the surrounding terrain of a cemetery. In reality, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a spacious basin in the middle. The "burial site" in feng shui is located in this basin, and the mountains on all sides are called "sand" in feng shui.

The facing mountain is a small hill opposite the tomb, shaped like a desk, which is called an "anshan" in feng shui. The mountains behind the tomb are the Azure Dragon Mountain on the left and the White Tiger Mountain on the right, forming a "grand master's chair" shape. In front of the desk is the desk, and in front of the desk are overlapping small hills, resembling officials standing in court. Therefore, such a tomb is associated with wealth and nobility, and is an ideal tomb, a model of burial sites.

Shi Qingxuan's mother, Bi Xiuxin, is buried in such a precious place.

Ling Chi followed Shi Qingxuan to Bi Xiuxin's tomb. Seeing the surroundings, he knew it must be Shi Zhixuan's doing. He was willing to bet that Shi Qingxuan knew nothing about feng shui.

Shi Qingxuan placed some offerings and knelt before the grave. Ling Chi also knelt beside her, took some paper money, and burned it.

Shi Qingxuan smiled slightly and said, "Mother, your daughter has brought your sworn brother to see you."

Paying respects to the deceased usually involves burning paper money or lighting incense, and then saying a few heartfelt words to the departed loved ones. This time, Shi Qingxuan was talking about Ling Chi.

“My eldest brother treats his daughter very well, loving her like a real brother. Every day she spends with him is a happy one. This time, he suddenly came to visit her and said he wanted to pay respects to our mother. My daughter is really, really happy.”

Hearing what Shi Qingxuan said, Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Mother, rest assured, since I am Qingxuan's elder brother, I will definitely take good care of her and not let her suffer any grievances. Mother, if you have a spirit in heaven, please bless us and bless Qingxuan with happiness and fulfillment."

Hearing these words, Shi Qingxuan felt a warm glow in her heart. She smiled and said, "Mother, you heard me. My eldest brother will take good care of his daughter. Don't worry!"

After the worship ceremony, Ling Chi said to Shi Qingxuan, "Third sister, your eldest brother will use magic to repair Mother's grave. After the repair, weeds will not grow again for thousands of years, and you will not need to come here to clean it from time to time."

Shi Qingxuan's face lit up with joy: "Big brother has such abilities? That's wonderful, thank you for your help, big brother."

"Don't mention it." Ling Chi smiled slightly, told Shi Qingxuan to step back, and then used earth magic to make Bi Xiuxin's grave look like the modern Babaoshan Cemetery.

Earth magic isn't just about manipulating soil; it encompasses everything on the ground except for metal, like sand and gravel. This place is surrounded by mountains and filled with rocks, so Ling Chi casually created a beautiful tomb for Bi Xiuxin. He then used fire magic to burn away all the surrounding weeds and renovated it with earth magic. This way, Bi Xiuxin's grave can be surrounded by crops and vegetables, making it self-sufficient.

Finally, Ling Chi used water magic to clean the grave, and then re-engraved the words "Ling Chi, adopted son" on the tombstone, thus completing the task.

Looking at Bi Xiuxin's grave now, it can only be described as a transformation from a bare shell to a fully furnished one.

Shi Qingxuan was stunned.

This... is so beautiful.

With the scale of Babaoshan Cemetery, how could it not be beautiful!

If Ling Chi hadn't never seen what Bi Xiuxin looked like, he would have liked to put a photo on her tombstone!

"Is this okay?" Ling Chi asked.

Shi Qingxuan nodded repeatedly: "Big brother, I didn't expect you to be so skilled at repairing tombs. Is there anything in the world you can't do?"

"To have a baby," Ling Chi said in a serious tone.

"..." Shi Qingxuan's face flushed red: "Big brother~~~~~~~"

"Hahaha……"

……

Back in the small stone house, it was almost noon. Shi Qingxuan said, "Big brother, I'll go cook. What would you like to eat?"

"Let me do it!" Ling Chi said with a smile. "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Shi Qingxuan blushed and didn't insist. She knew that Ling Chi's cooking was a million times better than hers. She would lose three to five pounds every time she came back from Peach Blossom Island. There was nothing she could do about it.

“I love everything my older brother makes.”

"Then I'll take a look." Ling Chi went to the kitchen and saw some cured meat, some bok choy, a few eggs, and some wild fruits. There was no shortage of rice and flour, and there was still quite a bit in the grain bin, but the quality was really not good, and it wasn't very clean. It would probably take a long time to wash it clean.

"Ugh!"

"Why is Brother sighing?" Shi Qingxuan asked worriedly.

"Third Sister, is this all you eat every day?" Ling Chi asked.

"Hmm." Shi Qingxuan nodded and said, "Big brother, you don't need to feel sorry for your little sister. There are countless people in the world who don't have enough to eat or wear. It's already good enough that your little sister can have enough to eat."

“No,” Ling Chi said. “How can my sister, Ling Chi’s sister, eat so poorly? Third sister, listen to your elder brother’s advice. In a few days, come back to Peach Blossom Island with me! I will take care of you from now on.”

Shi Qingxuan was deeply moved, but also very hesitant.

"What are you worried about?" Ling Chi said, "You can tell me anything, and I'll help you figure something out."

"Big brother..." Shi Qingxuan said, "Little sister has gotten used to a lonely life and has no intention of changing it, do you... understand?"

"..." Ling Chi frowned slightly. This Shi Qingxuan was so similar to Xiaolongnu.

Both were dressed in flowing white robes, possessing celestial beauty, and both lived secluded lives, accustomed to and enjoying solitude. The only difference was that Shi Qingxuan understood human relationships and was far more worldly-wise than the naive Xiaolongnu.

Back in the world of Condor Heroes, he married Xiaolongnü and successfully recruited her as a farmer. However, even after being recruited, Xiaolongnü still preferred to be alone. Her greatest hobby was raising jade bees and cultivating new jade honey. Therefore, few people recognized her as the "first wife," while Shuang'er and Huang Rong gained more recognition.

Of course, this could also be due to their status as kitchen helpers. After all, the system stipulates that only kitchen helpers can leave the God of Cookery space! Farmers and herdsmen like them could never do anything for Ling Chi outside in their lives.

Fortunately, they can help Lingchi by creating value on farms or ranches.

For example, Xiaolongnu's jade honey is now two levels higher in quality than it was at the beginning. Her goal is to cultivate the jade honey to be even higher and higher, until it reaches the highest possible quality. This is the only thing she can do to help Lingchi.

As for Shi Qingxuan, Ling Chi had already decided to recruit her from the first time he saw her. However, if he really recruited her as a herdsman, how would she live in the future? Would he set aside a separate place for her to live? Obviously not.

Since she has become a herdsman, she will inevitably come into contact with other people in the space. But coming into contact with other people will disrupt her lonely life. Is this really good for her?

“No rush,” Ling Chi said. “I’d like to stay at the secluded forest cottage for a few days. How about Third Sister accompanies me to explore the scenery here? We can talk about other things in a few days.”

Shi Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart had been pounding when she said those words, fearing that Ling Chi would be angry. She knew that Ling Chi cared about her, but apart from the mediocre food, life at Youlin Xiaozhu was perfect for her. She had lived there for twenty years and was used to every blade of grass and every tree. It would be really hard for her to accept being asked to leave so abruptly.

Fortunately, Ling Chi gave us some time to adjust. In any case, we should spend these few days with Ling Chi and deal with the rest later.

"Ah."

……

Ling Chi certainly couldn't let Shi Qingxuan eat so meagerly. Fortunately, the place was nestled between mountains and water, with all sorts of wild game in the mountains and fresh fish and shrimp in the water. Ling Chi spent half an hour hunting two pheasants in the mountains, picking some wild vegetables and mushrooms, and catching two large grass carp, as well as some river shrimp and clams in the water.

"It's so-so!" Ling Chi said. "The quality of these ingredients is not good enough to make white dishes. When we get back to Peach Blossom Island, I'll make you blue and purple dishes."

Shi Qingxuan paused for a moment, then said, "Big brother, let's talk about it in a few days, okay?"

"..." Ling Chi patted her head: "Help me cook."

"Ah."

In one hour, Ling Chi prepared pheasant stew with mushrooms, braised fish chunks, stir-fried river shrimp with wild vegetables, stir-fried clam meat, stir-fried bok choy, steamed some rice, and made some rice crusts.

"Alright, time to eat." Ling Chi placed a plate of rice crust on the table. By this time, Shi Qingxuan had already secretly taken several bites. When she saw that Ling Chi had made rice crust, her eyes lit up and she said, "Rice crust, I haven't had it in a long time."

"Then all of these are yours." Ling Chi placed the rice crackers in front of her and smiled, "If you like them, I'll make them into snacks later, the kind that can be stored for a long time. You can eat them every day, and they won't spoil even after a month."

"Thank you, brother." Shi Qingxuan served him a bowl of rice and said, "Here you go, brother."

"Thank you." Ling Chi took it and said, "Let's not stand on ceremony, brother and sister, have some!"

"Mmm." Shi Qingxuan really didn't stand on ceremony anymore. She took a bite of the crispy and sticky rice crust, her eyes narrowing into slits with delight: "It's so delicious. This is the best rice crust I've ever eaten."

"This is nothing. I'll make you some rice crusts with rice from Peach Blossom Island later. They're blue quality, I guarantee you'll swallow your tongue," Ling Chi said with a smile.

Shi Qingxuan stuck out her tongue cutely and said, "Big brother, you should eat too!"

"I'm eating!"

……

For the first time in three months, Shi Qingxuan ate so comfortably and enjoyably. After a satisfying meal, she leaned back in her chair, her belly slightly bulging, and watched Ling Chi use water magic to quickly clean the plates and bowls. Shi Qingxuan looked on with envy: "Big brother's magic is amazing! I wish I could do that too."

"Want to learn?" Ling Chi smiled. "I'll teach you!"

"Really!?" Shi Qingxuan was both surprised and delighted.

“As long as you come back to Peach Blossom Island with me, I promise to teach you everything without reservation,” Ling Chi said.

"..." Shi Qingxuan struggled with her expression. This was a temptation that was really hard to resist. After clashing with his lifestyle, it even gained the upper hand.

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "No rush, take your time to think it over, just give me your answer when I leave."

Shi Qingxuan sighed softly, "I'm sorry, big brother."

"It's nothing." Ling Chi wiped the table clean, brewed a pot of hot tea, and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't force them. Whatever choice you ultimately make, your older brother will support you."

Shi Qingxuan felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

"Brother, why are you so good to me?" Shi Qingxuan looked at him and said, "I know you have such a beautiful wife as your sister-in-law, so it's impossible that you would be interested in my plain looks. As for music, I can only say that you and I are each better at our own thing, so why are you so good to me?"

Ling Chi smiled and said, "If you don't like someone, why would you be nice to that person?"
