Ling Chi stood on the mountain path, watching Yue Buqun's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and sighed, "Master, it wasn't worth it!"

My teacher's wife is still so young, and she has quite a charm...

It's not worth it!

"This is what martial artists are like." A red figure emerged from behind a huge rock: "They will stop at nothing to become stronger."

"You—" Ling Chi's heart clenched violently, pounding so hard she could hardly breathe: "Sister Hong... Sister Hong..."

Seeing his expression, the woman in red covered her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes smiling: "It's been months since I last saw you, little brother Chi, you haven't changed at all!"

"..."

Ling Chi's heartbeat gradually calmed down. Gazing at the beautiful face he had been longing for day and night, he took a deep breath and his smile gradually brightened: "Sister Hong hasn't changed at all. She's still so beautiful."

"..." A hint of surprise appeared in the red-clad woman's eyes, as if she hadn't expected Ling Chi to be so calm in front of her.

interesting.

The woman in red smiled slightly and said, "It's been several months since I last saw you, Brother Chi, you've grown quite a bit, not bad."

"I'm fine," Ling Chi smiled slightly. "But Sister Hong, you've been gone for months, how have you been?"

"It's acceptable." The woman in red nodded with a smile and said, "I brought you some gifts."

"A gift?" Ling Chi was slightly taken aback.

Why would you give him a gift when he's perfectly fine?

What kind of gift will it be?

"Follow me." The woman in red waved her sleeve, leaped into the air, and shot down the mountain.

Even though Ling Chi's agility was further enhanced, he still felt that the red-clad lady's speed was a bit ridiculously fast.

Can you believe you can see a phantom in broad daylight?

Is this young lady really a female ghost?

He shook his head, leaped forward with all his might, and chased after the girl in red.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Princess of the Dynasty?

Huashan Town, Hero's Inn.

Seeing that the young lady in red had brought him here, Ling Chi asked in surprise and doubt, "Sister Hong, why did you bring me here?"

The young woman in red smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it's time to eat."

"..."

Ling Chi frowned: "Sister Hong, is it fun to tease me?"

The young woman in red looked at him, her phoenix eyes smiling but without any hint of mischief: "Do you think I'm teasing you?"

Ling Chi remained silent.

After a moment, the young woman in red slowly shook her head and said, "You're not as interesting as you used to be."

“People grow up,” Ling Chi said. “I’m not the same person I used to be.”

The young woman in red glanced at him and said calmly, "The gift is inside."

With a flick of his left sleeve, a strong gust of wind blew open the tavern door with a loud bang.

The young lady in red walked in gracefully, and Ling Chi hesitated for a moment before following her in.

Upon entering the tavern, Ling Chi was immediately stunned at first glance.

He hadn't been back for over a year. Although Shuang'er would occasionally come down the mountain to clean up, it would never be as excessively clean as it is now.

The tavern was spotless, with new, smooth, and stylish floor tiles. Even the tables, chairs, and wine cabinets had been replaced, suggesting a complete renovation.

He paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the young woman in red who was seated at the table, and asked with suspicion, "Did you do this?"

The young woman in red said calmly, "Your gift is in the kitchen. I'm hungry."

"..."

This young lady in red seems a bit crazy; her speech is incoherent.

Ling Chi really wanted to look at her with the kind of compassionate gaze one might have for someone with intellectual disabilities, but considering the level of the woman in red, he held back.

I'm not a coward, I'm just a good man who doesn't fight with women.

He went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was much cleaner and tidier than before, and there were several more bamboo baskets, each covered with a red cloth. I wonder what was inside them.

"What's going on?" Ling Chi stepped forward and lifted the red cloth covering the first bamboo basket.

When Ling Chi saw what was inside, his breath hitched.

"Potatoes...?"

I rubbed my eyes hard, but the vision was still there; it wasn't a hallucination.

Ling Chi picked up the potatoes from the basket with trembling hands and examined them carefully.

The shape, the color, the feel...

That's right! It's a potato!!

Potatoes had appeared, and there was a whole basket of them in the kitchen of their own tavern.

Could it be...?

Ling Chi looked at the other bamboo baskets, her heart pounding like a drum, and immediately stepped forward to lift the red cloth off each one.

After looking at the contents of the bamboo basket, Ling Chi felt as if she were in a dream.

Sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, pumpkins, cashews, and tomatoes are all specialties of the Americas.

the most important……

Looking at the last basket of bright red, long and pointed little creatures, Ling Chi trembled with excitement.

Chili peppers! It's chili peppers!

He practically pounced on the bamboo basket filled with chili peppers. He picked up a small pepper and stroked it gently as if it were a lover. The pepper was very smooth, apparently recently picked, and its aroma captivated him.

He opened his mouth and took a bite of the chili pepper. The long-lost spiciness brought tears to his eyes.

Chili pepper, I've finally waited for you.

……

After calming himself down, Ling Chi immediately put the baskets of ingredients he had been longing for into his Chef God Space. But when he thought of the young lady in red sitting outside and what she had said before he entered the kitchen, he finally understood the meaning behind it all.

He took the baskets of ingredients out again, but after thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. So he selected some of the ingredients from the baskets and put them into the Chef God Space. Only then did he walk confidently to the water tank, lift the lid, and find that it was indeed full of water.

Turning my head to look at the kitchen counter, I saw fresh beef, whole chicken, carp, mushrooms, eggs, and so on.

Everything is available.

"Hoo..." Ling Chi rolled up his sleeves, his eyes blazing with fire: Today I'll show you what true deliciousness is!

Hearing the bustling sounds coming from the kitchen, the young woman in red smiled slightly, flicked her sleeve, and closed the door.

……

"An appetizer, hot and sour shredded potatoes." Ling Chi served the first dish to the table.

The young woman in red looked at the dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes, which was golden with a hint of red and had a rich aroma, and nodded with a smile: "Not bad."

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Sister Hong, just try it. There are many more dishes coming up soon."

The young woman in red nodded.

Ling Chi returned to the kitchen to continue her work. The young lady in red flipped her wrist, and a pair of mahogany chopsticks appeared in her hand.

The young woman in red picked up a shredded potato and put it in her mouth, giving a soft "hmm" and nodding.

After that, dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, salt-baked cashews, candied sweet potatoes, baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk, honeycomb corn, stir-fried corn with chili peppers, stir-fried beef with chili peppers, shredded pork with garlic sauce, Kung Pao chicken, cumin beef, and boiled fish were served one by one.

Before she knew it, the young lady in red had started to enjoy her meal.

"This is the last dish, spicy chicken." Ling Chi stacked two empty plates, placed the spicy chicken on the table, and said with a smile, "Sister Hong, please try it."

The young woman in red was sweating profusely as she ate. Although she had gotten used to spicy food in recent months, this was the first time she had ever tasted such a spicy dish with so many ingredients. Her tongue was numb, and tears were streaming down her face, but for some reason, she couldn't stop eating and just wanted to keep going.

"Another spicy one?" The girl in red was a little scared, but why couldn't her right hand stop moving?!

The young lady in red 'cried'.

It's so spicy, it's killing me!

But I want it, I want more, I want it so badly!!!

Seeing the young lady in red eating without any regard for her image, Ling Chi felt very pleased.

That's right, that's how it should be rhythmic.

But while I felt relieved, I also felt a pang of anxiety.

The lady in red is eating so voraciously, yet shows no sign of being conquered, indicating that her level is indeed beyond that of the white-clad one. Unless the blue menu is used, the day of conquest is nowhere in sight.

He now has two blue recipes, both of which are one-time recipes awarded by the system when he levels up.

One is a regular blue recipe for Squirrel Fish, and the other is a premium blue recipe for Shark Fin and Tiger Bone Soup.

Ling Chi has collected all the ingredients needed for these two dishes, but his current level is not high enough, so he can only complete 60% of the recipes at once.

If the girl in red is a regular blue character, the squirrel fish's conquest rate is only 30%.

If the conquest fails, all that's left is shark fin and tiger bone soup.

but……

What if the shark fin and tiger bone soup also fails?

Ling Chi is not willing to gamble now; he dares not take any risks before advancing to the blue-level culinary skill.

Sister Hong...

Ling Chi looked at the woman who was crying and whose lips were swollen, yet she kept eating, with a very complicated expression: Who exactly are you?
