Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

"The fact that you think this way shows that you are not as willful and capricious as you seem." Ling Chi looked her over and nodded: "I knew I wasn't wrong, you are a good girl."

Lin Yueru's face suddenly turned red: "I...of course I'm a good girl, senior, that's just nonsense, hmph!"

Seeing Lin Yueru cross her arms and turn her head to look in another direction, Ling Chi chuckled and said, "Perfect timing, Ling'er and I are also going to the capital for fun, do you want to come along?"

"Really!?" Lin Yueru's face was full of surprise.

"What good would it do me to lie to you?" Ling Chi laughed. "But the fact that we met in Suzhou and here shows that we have some kind of fate. How about it? Want to become my disciple and join the Qionghua Sect?"

"..." Lin Yueru fell silent.

Liu Meiniang was shocked: Senior... is actually a sword immortal from the Qionghua Sect!? No wonder, no wonder.

Chapter Fifty-One: Maid Caiyi

Lin Yueru ultimately did not become an apprentice. Running away from home this time was already excessive; if she were to join the Qionghua Sect, she might very well anger Lin Tiannan to death. In order to avoid the destruction of her family, Lin Yueru chose to go against her conscience.

"It's alright." Ling Chi knew her concerns and said, "The Lin family's Seven Absolute Sword Qi is also a rare top-tier technique. As long as you cultivate it diligently, your future achievements may not be inferior to those of immortal cultivators."

Lin Yueru nodded and said, "My father once said that when our Lin family ancestor founded Lin Family Fortress, his cultivation was comparable to that of a sword immortal. The only thing he was inferior to was that he could not fly on a sword."

“Actually, you don’t necessarily have to cultivate immortality to fly,” Ling Chi said. “I have a lightness technique called ‘Free and Easy Wind Riding.’ Although it consumes a lot of internal energy, it allows you to fly on the wind. Would you like to learn it?”

"Is that okay?" Lin Yueru was overjoyed.

"Of course." Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Since I started cultivating immortality, I haven't needed to use this technique. I see that you are a martial arts prodigy, so I will pass it on to you, hoping that you can carry it forward."

Lin Yueru clasped her hands in a respectful gesture and said earnestly, "I will certainly live up to your expectations, senior."

……

In order to teach Lin Yueru the art of "Free and Easy Wind Control," the three people and the fox chose to walk on their way to the capital, while Lin Yueru also diligently practiced "Free and Easy Wind Control."

Lin Yueru truly lived up to her reputation as the expert who revealed the recipe for martial arts genius. In just three days, she had already mastered the secrets of the Free and Easy Wind Riding technique, flying freely in the air.

However, Xiaoyao Yufeng truly lived up to his reputation as a heavy user of internal energy. Even with Lin Yueru's purple-level abilities, she could only maintain flight for half a minute.

"Don't rush," Ling Chi said. "You've already done very well. As your proficiency increases, you'll not only be able to fly faster, but you'll also consume significantly less internal energy."

Lin Yueru nodded and smiled, "Has this junior failed to embarrass this senior?"

"No, you did very well." Ling Chi praised, "Among the people I've met, your martial arts talent is the best."

"You flatter me, senior. I am unworthy of such praise."

“No need to be modest,” Ling Chi said. “I can tell what kind of person you are.”

Lin Yueru smiled slightly, turned her head to tease the little fox. In the past few days, she had become very familiar with Zhao Ling'er and loved the little fox very much. Whenever she had nothing to do, she would always like to kiss, hug, and lift it up high.

The little fox was playful, and Lin Yue was happy to play with it. The fox was overjoyed, and the two of them had a great time.

On this day, the capital city was already in sight when Ling Chi suddenly sensed two demonic energies colliding ahead, as if two demons were fighting.

"Such a strong demonic aura." Zhao Ling'er said solemnly, "It must have been cultivated for hundreds of years."

“Your senses need to be improved,” Ling Chi said. “One of them has about six hundred years of cultivation, while the other has a thousand years. Interestingly, the demon with a thousand years of cultivation is no match for the demon with six hundred years of cultivation.”

"No way!" Lin Yueru exclaimed, "This thousand-year-old demon is far too weak."

"A thousand-year-old lotus flower becomes a spirit, a six-hundred-year-old tiger becomes a spirit, which is more powerful?" Ling Chi asked.

"This..." Lin Yueru was speechless.

"You guys wait here, I'll go check it out." With that, Ling Chi soared into the sky and disappeared.

……

More than ten miles away, deep in the dense forest, a butterfly was tightly entangled in a spider web. The butterfly struggled desperately, but could not break free from the web's restraints. Just as the poisonous spider was about to crawl over and devour the butterfly, Ling Chi arrived.

"So it was a butterfly spirit and a spider spirit." Ling Chi casually flicked his right index finger, and a sword aura severed the spider web. The butterfly broke free from the web's restraints and flew away.

Enraged, the spider was about to bite Ling Chi.

"Hmph!" Ling Chi unleashed a sword aura that struck the spider's body squarely. The spider let out a miserable scream as its body exploded, accompanied by a burst of lightning and thunder. A purple bead shot out from the spider's body and was sucked into Ling Chi's palm.

"Thunder Spirit Orb?" Ling Chi looked at the exploded spider and the butterfly that had landed on a branch not far away, and said thoughtfully, "I see."

Ling Chi put away the Thunder Spirit Orb and beckoned to Butterfly: "Little Butterfly, come here."

The butterfly fluttered its wings, seemingly hesitant, but in just two breaths, it flew onto the back of his hand, its body emitting multicolored light, as if to express its gratitude.

Ling Chi stroked the butterfly's wings and said, "You, a great demon with a thousand years of cultivation, were almost eaten by a spider demon with six hundred years of cultivation. Aren't you ashamed... no, aren't you ashamed of the butterfly?"

Butterfly Fairy: "..."

"Luckily you met me, otherwise your thousand years of cultivation would have been wasted." Ling Chi injected Yang-type spiritual power into the butterfly spirit's body. The butterfly spirit felt its listless spirit roused, and its body shimmered with light. In a short while, a flash of colorful light appeared, and the butterfly spirit transformed into an incomparably dignified and beautiful woman.

She had a fairy-like hairstyle, adorned with flowers. In human form, she had a pair of enormous butterfly wings on her back and exuded the fragrance of a hundred flowers.

The worst part was that she was only wearing a purple bellyband, and otherwise she was completely clean and tidy, which was quite indecent. But she had a really good figure, especially her long legs, which were practically top-tier leg models in later generations, and even then, they were photoshopped.

Ling Chi couldn't help but exclaim: As expected of a demon, she is indeed incomparable to humans.

"This servant, Caiyi, thanks you for saving my life, young master." Caiyi floated in mid-air and bowed like a human woman.

Ling Chi looked at her skin outside her bodice, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Couldn't you have changed your clothes?"

Caiyi looked down at her undergarment and said, "This servant is wearing clothes!"

"..."

Do you call a bellyband "clothes" in your family?

Ling Chi shook his head helplessly, then casually took out a set of Wanwan's clothes and tossed them to her: "Put these on."

Wanwan's figure was similar to Caiyi's. Caiyi looked at the beautiful yellow dress and happily put it on. Perhaps it was the first time she had worn a human dress, so Caiyi seemed clumsy, but after some time, she finally managed to put the dress on.

After looking at it, Ling Chi nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, very beautiful."

Caiyi was delighted by her benefactor's praise: "Thank you, young master, this dress is really beautiful."

"It's because you're beautiful and have a great figure," Ling Chi said. "You're a natural clothes hanger. If it were someone ugly and had a bad figure, it wouldn't have the same effect at all."

Caiyi blinked, unsure how to respond.

Ling Chi took out a string of candied hawthorns that shimmered with red light and said, "Here, have some."

The moment the candied hawthorns appeared, they held a fatal attraction for Caiyi. As everyone knows, butterflies eat honey, and sweets are an irresistible treat for them. Even though Caiyi had already cultivated into human form, she could not escape the instinctive temptation.

The candied hawthorn emitted a rich, sweet aroma that almost made Caiyi forget her composure. She suppressed her impulse, thanked the candied hawthorn, took it, and took a bite.

"what--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Caiyi, a regular red-level diner. Her level is too low and this does not count towards the conquest count. A regular red-level recipe, 'Butterfly Love,' has been dropped."

"Butterfly Love: A common red recipe, it means being willing to die for the one you love, but the effects cannot be stacked."

……

Seeing the recipe and then looking at Caiyi, who was lost in a dream, Ling Chi remained silent for a moment before finally letting out a sigh.

Soon, Caiyi woke up from the illusion and eagerly put the remaining candied hawthorns into her mouth, eating with a relaxed and happy expression.

Ling Chi smiled slightly and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Caiyi nodded repeatedly.

"Would you like more?"

Caiyi continued to nod.

"Then you will be my maid from now on!" Ling Chi said. "I will teach you how to make delicious food, and you will be responsible for my food and daily life. How about it?"

Caiyi agreed without hesitation: "This servant is willing."

So simple?

Ling Chi was taken aback: "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Caiyi shook her head and said, "This servant's life was saved by the young master. No matter what the young master wants this servant to do, this servant will agree."

"..."

What a blindly loyal demon!

Ling Chi nodded: "Then you'll follow me from now on!" He paused: "But your combat ability is too poor. You have a thousand years of cultivation but you can't use your full strength. It's too embarrassing for me to say that out loud."

"I'm sorry." Caiyi lowered her head, feeling extremely ashamed.

“It’s not your fault,” Ling Chi said. “It’s not easy for a little butterfly like you to cultivate into a spirit and survive for a thousand years. I shouldn’t have been too harsh on you, but since you’ve become my maid, you must have the strength to match.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chi shot a beam of blue light at Caiyi's forehead.

Caiyi neither dodged nor avoided the azure light, letting it enter her mind. Then, a cultivation technique of the demon race appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness. This technique looked incredibly exquisite, and she couldn't help but immerse herself in it.

Ling Chi smiled slightly, knowing full well that this would happen.

This technique was obtained from the Candle Dragon. He had only wanted to ask for a technique for the humanoid monsters in the farm and ranch to continue their cultivation. Unexpectedly, the Candle Dragon was very generous and directly provided a complete set of advanced techniques suitable for almost all demon races.

This contains not only techniques for refining and enhancing demonic power, but also many demonic arts that can only be released by demonic energy, whose level is absolutely no less than those techniques cultivated in the divine realm.

With the gluttonous and caring Candle Dragon by his side, Ling Chi has lived a very comfortable life these past few years. It is precisely because the Candle Dragon is protecting him that those guys in the God Realm dare not do anything to him.

In truth, according to the 'will of Heaven' in the divine realm, the Qionghua Sect should have perished more than two hundred years ago. However, because of his appearance, the Qionghua Sect survived. Moreover, with Xuanxiao's ascension and his behind-the-scenes assistance, the Qionghua Sect became the number one cultivation sect in the world, the leader of the righteous path. This greatly surprised and displeased those in the divine realm.

After investigation, they discovered that Ling Chi was actually an "outsider," which made them even more wary. "Variables" were always what the natives hated most. If it weren't for the Candle Dragon, they would have already captured Ling Chi and subjected him to severe torture.

The Candle-Holding Dragon is the most powerful figure in the Six Realms. Even after ascending to the God Realm, he remains a top-tier being. Even the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi has to give him some respect. Ling Chi is incredibly lucky to have such a powerful backer.

Perhaps this is the effect of having high 'luck'?

Definitely, otherwise there's no way to explain why things have gone so smoothly all these years. High luck indeed means even the heavens favor you.

Thinking of Chu Bihen and Chu Hanjing, who had provided him with a great deal of good fortune, Ling Chi put his hands on his hips: I'll treat them well tonight.

……

"Master, who is she!?" Seeing that Ling Chi went alone but returned with a woman more beautiful than a celestial being, Zhao Ling'er felt a little uncomfortable.

Lin Yueru frowned, but said nothing.

She doesn't deserve it.

“This is my newly acquired maid, Caiyi.” Ling Chi smiled and said, “Let me introduce you. This is my disciple Zhao Ling’er, this is Miss Lin Yueru from Lin Family Manor in Suzhou, and this little fox is my contracted spirit beast Su Mei.”

"This servant greets the two young ladies, and greets... the spirit beast lady." Caiyi greeted them one by one.
