Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

A yellow beard simply means a yellow beard. Since the beard is yellow, the hair must also be yellow. Yellow hair and white skin are characteristics of the Xianbei people; they are essentially white. Although Zhu Yuyan has black hair, she must have undergone many generations of intermarriage, and is mostly Han Chinese, but still retains the white skin and some facial features of the Xianbei.

He remembered someone saying that the Xibe people were descendants of the Xianbei people, and a famous Xibe figure in modern times was 'Tong Liya,' who was indeed stunningly beautiful. But Zhu Yuyan was even more beautiful, her beauty transcending dimensions.

"No wonder your skin is so fair." Ling Chi nodded. "You must be Sister Meixian's mother, right?"

Zhu Yuyan's delicate body trembled, and a hint of complexity, guilt, and deep apprehension appeared in her eyes: "It seems that you and Meixian get along very well. It is because of you that the Dongming Sect supports Li Shimin!"

"Perhaps!" Ling Chi said calmly, "But the fact that your Demonic Sect is supporting Li Jiancheng is a bit troublesome." He stroked his chin, "Should we completely destroy the Demonic Sect?"

"..." Zhu Yuyan's heart pounded wildly, and cold sweat broke out on her back: "Island Master Ling is joking. Li Jiancheng is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the rightful heir to the throne. On the contrary, if Li Shimin wanted to become emperor, he would inevitably kill his father and brothers. Is this what Island Master Ling wants to see?"

“Of course we can’t set that bad precedent,” Ling Chi said. “But Li Shimin is my brother-in-law, and I must help him ascend the throne. As for Li Jiancheng… just put him under house arrest. As long as Shimin performs well on the throne, no one will say anything after three to five years.” He paused, “Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is currently conquering the world thanks to Shimin. Without Shimin’s campaigns in the south and north, Li Yuan would not be able to secure his throne.”

Ling Chi had already said all that, and Zhu Yuyan knew that nothing she said would make a difference, but she couldn't swallow her anger at seeing the Yin Gui Sect defeated by Cihang Jingzhai.

“Island Lord Ling, you decided the fate of my Holy Sect with just a few words. Isn’t that unfair to my Holy Sect?” Zhu Yuyan said. “Moreover, Wanwan only broke through to the Grandmaster realm with the help of Island Lord Ling. Can Island Lord Ling bear to watch Wanwan’s efforts over the past few years go to waste?”

"Then you don't need to worry about it." Ling Chi stood up and said, "I'm going to take Wanwan away now. If you don't want to die, you can stop me."

Zhu Yuyan clenched her fists: "Why did Island Master Ling take Wanwan away?"

Wanwan is the hope of the Yin Gui Sect, how could she let Ling Chi take Wanwan away?

“Because she killed Fei Xuan.” Ling Chi walked to Wanwan’s side, took her hand, and said, “It’s fair and reasonable to exchange a Grandmaster for another Grandmaster.”

"If Island Master Ling really intends to do this, I will stop you even if it costs me my life!" Zhu Yuyan activated the Heavenly Demon Force Field, and Ling Chi immediately felt a powerful suction force that not only wanted to pull him away, but also to absorb the spiritual energy in his body.

This is the effect of the Heavenly Demon Technique, which is somewhat similar to the Tai Chi Divine Skill, but with a stronger physical adsorption force. However, it does not have the effect of quickly absorbing and transforming the internal energy of others like the Tai Chi Divine Skill.

Faced with the suction force of the Heavenly Demon Force Field, Ling Chi looked down at Wanwan and asked, "What do you think about your master trying to stop me?"

Wanwan gave a wry smile: "Does my opinion matter?"

“Without you, your master would already be a corpse,” Ling Chi said. “I’m giving you a choice: do you want your master to live, or to die?”

“Of course it will be born,” Wanwan said.

Ling Chi nodded, then pointed into the air. Zhu Yuyan's body trembled, and the Heavenly Demon Force Field instantly dissipated. She stood there, unable to move.

Seeing that Ling Chi had casually pointed a finger and rendered her master unable to resist, Wanwan's pupils shrank, and she gained a glimpse of Ling Chi's power.

Compared to Wanwan's shock, Zhu Yuyan was horrified.

No matter what, she was a master at the peak of the Grandmaster level, the strongest in the Demonic Sect besides Wanwan. However, Ling Chi only touched her in the void, and her acupoints were sealed, making her unable to move and completely losing the power to resist.

Damn it! Just how strong is this Ling Chi?! Is he some kind of monster?!

Zhu Yuyan had always thought that Ling Chi was a top master among grandmasters, but the mere glimpse he casually revealed proved that he had already surpassed the level of a grandmaster.

"You...have you already reached the realm of shattering the void!?"

"If you say so, then so be it!" Ling Chi neither admitted nor denied, giving an ambiguous answer. Then, a blooming flower appeared in his hand, which was the [Floral Bloom] he had given to Fan Qinghui earlier.

"Open your mouth." Ling Chi picked up the flower and brought it to Zhu Yuyan's lips.

"..." Zhu Yuyan bit her lip, refusing to open her mouth no matter what.

"Master, open up!" Wanwan knew that since Ling Chi had promised not to kill her master, he would definitely not kill him. Moreover, the delicacies of Peach Blossom Island all had magical effects. She believed that Ling Chi wanted to give her master some compensation to make up for the losses after she left.

It has to be said that Wanwan knows Ling Chi quite well, and Zhu Yuyan is willing to trust her beloved disciple, so she opened her mouth and Ling Chi fed her the flower.

"what--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Zhu Yuyan, a common purple-level diner. However, the diner's level is too low to be counted in the conquest count. A common purple-level recipe has been dropped: 'This hatred will last forever.'"

"This hatred will last forever: Common purple recipe. After consumption, you can designate a target to hate. As long as the target does not die, the hatred will continue. Cooldown time: 10 days."

……

This recipe...

Ling Chi seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Zhu Yuyan's hatred for Shi Zhixuan had never stopped and had become her obsession.

It makes sense, really. If she hadn't been deceived by Shi Zhixuan in her youth and lost her virginity, how could she have been stuck at the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Technique, unable to break through for the rest of her life? It's like someone who could have gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University, but because they were bullied by a jerk before the college entrance exam, they underperformed and only got into a second-rate university. That kind of hatred can never be erased.

Unless that bastard dies.

For Ling Chi, this recipe is rare enough that if used properly, it might have unimaginable effects.

Ling Chi was pondering how to 'open' this recipe, but Wanwan was already deeply shocked because Zhu Yuyan was becoming younger at a visible speed.

Although Zhu Yuyan has mastered the art of preserving her youth and looks only in her twenties, her physical functions cannot compare to when she was truly in her twenties. Therefore, when her physiological functions truly recovered to the prime of her twenty-four years, Zhu Yuyan's face looked more collagen-rich than before, and her body was also fuller.

This was only the change in Wanwan's eyes. As for Zhu Yuyan herself, she even felt that her body seemed to have returned from a 'broken' state to the perfect state of her youth. The acupoints on her body were also broken through in the process of becoming younger, and then the Heavenly Demon Force Field exploded. Zhu Yuyan only felt the true energy accumulated over the years surging wildly in her body. After just one cycle, she broke through the shackles of many years and broke through the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Art in one fell swoop, successfully advancing to the eighteenth level.

Her cultivation level also jumped from the peak of Grandmaster to the Grandmaster realm.

When Wanwan sensed the Heavenly Demon Force field emanating from Zhu Yuyan, which was no less powerful than her own, she was stunned and extremely excited: "Master, you have reached the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Art!"

Zhu Yuyan slowly finished her practice and opened her eyes.

She first looked at her hands, which were even smoother than before. She touched her cheeks and forehead, which were smooth and delicate without a single wrinkle. Moreover, she felt that her body was fully circulating the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Art. Zhu Yuyan was so excited that she immediately bowed deeply to Ling Chi: "This concubine thanks Island Master Ling for his help."

Ling Chi waved his hand: "This is just a little compensation I can give to Wanwan."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan knew that Ling Chi would definitely take Wanwan away, but she no longer had any intention of stopping him.

She only ate one flower, and her shattered body was restored to its perfect state, allowing her to break through to the Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop. This kind of person is definitely not someone she can afford to offend. Not only should she not offend him, but she must also cultivate a good relationship with him. Even if they cannot become friends, they must never become enemies.

To make an enemy of such a powerful person is like an old man hanging himself—wanting to die.

“Island Master Ling, it’s alright if you take Wanwan away, but what should I do if I miss Wanwan in the future?” Zhu Yuyan asked.

Ling Chi glanced at her and said, "You miss Wanwan?"

Zhu Yuyan opened her mouth and said, "Island Master Ling's words have hurt me. Wanwan is my successor, how could I not miss her?"

"That's true." Ling Chi nodded and said, "But if you want to see Wanwan in the future, you'll have to put aside all worldly affairs!"

Zhu Yuyan frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that, Island Master Ling?"

“If you want to see her, you’ll have to give up everything. Otherwise, I won’t let you meet,” Ling Chi said.

"..." Zhu Yuyan thought that Ling Chi did not want her to use Wanwan to benefit the Yin Gui Sect, so she could only sigh inwardly and said, "In that case, I will not say anything more. I only hope that Island Master Ling can take good care of Wanwan. If I really give up everything, I hope that Island Master Ling can let me see Wanwan one last time."

"We'll see when the time comes!" Ling Chi said calmly, "If you survive."

Zhu Yuyan's eyes sharpened: "Thank you for your concern, Island Master Ling. I will definitely survive."

Ling Chi nodded and asked Wanwan, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Wanwan immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Yuyan and kowtowed three times: "Master, Wanwan is leaving. Please take good care of yourself."

"Get up quickly." Zhu Yuyan helped her up and said, "It's not like we're parting forever. Once Master has settled things here, he will definitely come to see you."

Wanwan shed two lines of clear tears, because she knew that she would never see her master again.

……

Ling Chi left with Wanwan. Wanwan didn't take anything with her, not even the Heavenly Demon Twin Slashes. Since she wouldn't need them anymore, why bother taking them?

But when Ling Chi carried her into the sky and soared away, Zhu Yuyan was terrified.

He can fly?! Is he a god?!

Zhu Yuyan felt a wave of fear. When she broke through to the Grandmaster realm, she had considered joining forces with Wanwan to deal with him, but she was afraid that even if the two of them joined forces, they would not be able to defeat him. If he turned the tables and killed her, that would not be fun.

In retrospect, it's fortunate she didn't take action back then, otherwise she would definitely be a corpse now.

At the same time, she made up her mind that she absolutely could not be an enemy of Ling Chi. Not only could she not be an enemy, but she should also do her best to please Peach Blossom Island. Even if she could only get a little bit of friendship from Peach Blossom Island, it would be worth it.

On the other side, Wanwan hooked her arms around Ling Chi's neck, her legs tightly wrapped around his waist, her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes shining.

"Brother Ling, you really are a god." If you weren't a god, how could you fly?

“I’m not,” Ling Chi said. “I just have some special abilities.” He paused, then added, “What’s so great about being a god? You’re under the control of the Heavenly Court, and you have to clock in every day. It’s nothing compared to my freedom and comfort.”

"..." A glint of excitement flashed in Wanwan's eyes as she asked, "How did Brother Ling know that immortals have to clock in every day?"

"What's there to know or not know? That's just how it is."

Ling Chi spoke casually, but Wanwan became even more excited, and she increased the strength of her coiled arms.

"..." Ling Chi looked down at her and said, "Don't move around."

"What can I do if I can't control myself?" Wanwan looked innocent, but she licked her lips and her eyes sparkled with a hint of spring.

"You little vixen," Ling Chi slapped her, "This is the sky, what if you fall down?"

"Why don't we just find a secluded place?" Wanwan's delicate body was very supple, writhing like a snake.

Ling Chi's breath hitched, and he immediately rushed into a forest before landing in a stream.

The stream was surging.

Chapter Forty-Seven: The Demise of the Yin Gui Sect

“Recruit Wanwan as a herdsman.”

"Wanwan, a high-class purple-level diner, attribute: living being. Recruitment successful."

……

After dawn, Ling Chi flew back to Peach Blossom Island with Shang Xiufang, which naturally drew screams and exclamations from Shang Xiufang.

“Brother, even if you said you were a god now, I would believe you,” Shang Xiufang said.

"Then just think of me as a god!" Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Hold on tight, don't fall."

"Mmm." Shang Xiufang hugged his waist tightly, her heart pounding.

On Peach Blossom Island, Ling Chi landed in front of Shi Qingxuan's hut: "Third Sister, come out quickly, see who I brought?"

With a creak, the door opened, and Shi Qingxuan walked out of the house. Seeing Shang Xiufang, her face lit up with joy: "Second Sister! You're here!"

"I've arrived." Shang Xiufang smiled and said, "Third Sister, how have you been on Peach Blossom Island?"

“It’s great,” Shi Qingxuan said. “My older brother is very good to me. He even made the environment here just like Youlin Xiaozhu for me. If it weren’t for the fact that there are no mountains around and only the sea, I would have thought that I had never left home.”

"Sigh!" After hearing these words, Shang Xiufang sighed and said sourly, "Big brother is so good to third sister. After coming out of the Temple of War, the first person he thought of was third sister. Second sister is not like that. She is just a tool to keep third sister company and relieve her boredom."

“Brother had no such intention.” Shi Qingxuan quickly defended Ling Chi: “The reason why Brother came to me first is because Youlin Xiaozhu is closer. If it were closer to Second Sister, Brother would definitely have gone to Second Sister first. If Second Sister had arrived at Peach Blossom Island first, Brother would have been afraid that Second Sister would be lonely, so he would have gone to find me to keep Second Sister company.”

“Qingxuan understands me best.” Ling Chi nodded repeatedly: “Your second sister is just petty and jealous.”

Shang Xiufang was both annoyed and amused: "Fine, fine, I'm petty and jealous, okay?"
