Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Outside the Demon-Sealing Tower, Ling Chi sent the Heavenly Ghost Emperor back to the Ghost Realm first, and then took Cao Gu, Jiang Wan'er, and the Immortal in the Book to see Dugu Sword Saint.

"You...you are Senior Brother Jiang's daughter?" Dugu Jiansheng was extremely excited when he saw Jiang Wan'er.

"Huh?" Jiang Wan'er looked at him: "You know my father?"

"Alas!" Upon seeing Jiang Wan'er acknowledge her identity, Dugu Jiansheng sighed, "Child, you have suffered these past years. I am the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, and also your martial uncle."

"Oh." Jiang Wan'er had no concept of the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, so she nodded and didn't react further.

"..." Dugu Sword Saint was stunned: Junior niece, what's with your reaction? Don't you know how awesome your uncle is?

Ling Chi coughed lightly and said, "Alright, I've brought out the people I needed to. Call Li Xiaoyao over, I'll take him to meet Miss Lin. Maybe he'll be your sworn brother's son-in-law in the future."

"..."

Not long after, Li Xiaoyao arrived with the Drunken Sword Immortal.

Unlike the carefree Li Xiaoyao of the past, the current Li Xiaoyao is dressed in a Taoist robe from the Shu Mountain Sect, radiating divine light, like a drawn sword, attracting everyone's attention.

"Li Xiaoyao greets the Sect Leader, Senior Uncle." Li Xiaoyao bowed to Dugu Sword Saint.

"Hmm." Dugu Jiansheng nodded and said, "Come and greet Senior Ling of the Qionghua Sect."

Senior Ling?

Li Xiaoyao turned his head and saw Ling Chi, exclaiming, "It's you!?"

Isn't this the older brother who used to drink at their inn from time to time over the years? How come he's become a senior of the Qionghua Sect after only a month?

"Li Xiaoyao, it's been months since I last saw you, you've changed so much!" Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Brother Ling, is it really you?" Li Xiaoyao's face was full of disbelief.

"Shut up!" The Drunken Sword Immortal slapped Li Xiaoyao on the back of the head and scolded, "This is Senior Ling of the Qionghua Sect. Even if your grandmaster were here, he would still have to call him Senior. How dare you call him Big Brother like that!"

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyao was stunned: Master...Grandmaster also has to be called Senior!? How old is Senior Ling?

"Alright." Ling Chi waved his hand. "Ignorance is no excuse. Li Xiaoyao's mistake was unintentional. There's no need to take it seriously."

"Senior Ling is magnanimous, Situ Zhong admires him." The Drunken Sword Immortal flattered him.

Li Xiaoyao was stunned again: His carefree and unrestrained master was actually so respectful to Senior Ling? This...

“There’s no need to say those things.” Ling Chi asked, “Did you tell Li Xiaoyao about the matter of the eldest daughter of the Lin family that I mentioned before?”

“I’ve already said that,” said the Drunken Sword Immortal. “But Xiaoyao is focused on cultivation and has no interest in romantic relationships.”

"Whether you like it or not, it's alright to meet her!" Ling Chi looked at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Suzhou, is a rare beauty. She is also highly skilled in martial arts and has a chivalrous heart. Her temperament should be compatible with yours. How about you go and meet her?"

“This…” Li Xiaoyao was originally unwilling to go, but faced with Ling Chi’s gaze, he could not refuse and could only nod: “Since senior says so, then this junior may go and meet him.”

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be satisfied."

Seeing that Ling Chi was about to leave with Li Xiaoyao, Dugu Jiansheng hurriedly said, "Senior Ling, I wonder if Wan'er can stay in the Shu Mountain Sect? Senior Brother Jiang was kind to me back then, and I think..."

“You don’t need to think about it anymore,” Ling Chi said. “Jiang Wan’er is a half-human, half-demon, which goes against the Shu Mountain Sect’s philosophy of slaying demons and monsters. Moreover, I plan to keep her by my side. You know, the philosophy of my Qionghua Sect is: only distinguish between good and evil, not race.”

"..." Dugu Jiansheng was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, I will entrust Wan'er to Senior Ling's care."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." Ling Chi nodded, his gaze falling on Cao Gu's face, and smiled, "Little Cao Gu, would you like to travel the world with me?"

Caogu: "..."

"Hurry up and agree," the Drunken Sword Immortal urged. "Senior Ling is going to guide you; this is an opportunity that others would kill for."

Caogu nodded: "Caogu is willing."

"Then let's go!" Ling Chi smiled slightly: "There is too much suffering in the world. I will teach you how to become a healer who saves people and helps the world."

"Thank you, Senior Ling." Cao Gu was finally moved.

Dugu Sword Saint and Jiu Jianxian were very happy that Ling Chi was willing to train their Shushan Sect disciple. This was a benefit they couldn't ask for. Cao Gu was a disciple they valued, and with Ling Chi's guidance, they believed that she would definitely become a backbone of the Shushan Sect in the future.

……

In Suzhou, Ling Chi led Li Xiaoyao into Lin Family Fortress, where he met Lin Yueru, who had just returned from the capital, and at his suggestion, they sparred.

Although Li Xiaoyao's skills were still developing, his progress was truly astonishing. In addition, Lin Yueru was careless for a moment, and her long sword was knocked out of her hand by Li Xiaoyao's sword control technique. In a martial arts competition, this would basically mean defeat.

Li Xiaoyao thought so too. He sheathed his sword, clasped his hands, and said, "Miss Lin, you flatter me."

Lin Yueru was extremely dissatisfied, but since she was in front of Ling Chi and her father, she couldn't lose her temper. She could only stomp her feet and turn to go to the backyard.

Lin Tiannan smiled broadly: "Hehe, very good, my Lin family's son-in-law has finally appeared."

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyao was stunned: "Son-in-law!?"

"Not bad." Lin Tiannan chuckled. "My daughter is eighteen years old. Last month, she started a martial arts contest to find a husband. Any man under thirty who is not yet married can defeat her and become the son-in-law of my Lin Family Fortress. However, my daughter's martial arts are too high, and so far no man has appeared who meets her standards. Now, we have to thank Young Hero Ling for bringing Young Hero Li here. Hehe, good, good!"

"This...I..." Li Xiaoyao was truly stunned this time, but when he asked himself honestly, he felt that this wasn't so bad.

After all, Lin Yueru was indeed a rare beauty, and the Lin Family Fortress was the leader of the entire Southern Martial Arts World. Although he had joined the Shu Mountain Sect, it seemed that being able to form a bond with the Lin Family Fortress Miss was something to be happy about.

"Then it's settled." Ling Chi patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoyao, Miss Lin is a strong-willed woman. As a man, you must stand up for yourself and not be beaten by your wife to the point of having to kneel on a washboard."

"Senior Ling, you're exaggerating too much!" Li Xiaoyao was speechless.

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Anyway, congratulations."

"Uh, thank you very much, Senior Ling. But I still need to inform my master and my aunt at home, after all, it's an arranged marriage." Li Xiaoyao said.

"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." Ling Chi turned to Lin Tiannan and said, "Congratulations, Lord Lin."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Young Master Ling. Please stay and have a drink at our wedding," Lin Tiannan said.

"There's no need for a wedding banquet," Ling Chi said. "I have some things to take care of. I'll offer this toast another time."

"In that case, I will not keep you any longer. Young Master Ling, please."

"please."

……

After leaving Lin Family Fort, Jiang Wan'er asked, "Where to next?"

“Go to the place where your parents used to live in seclusion,” Ling Chi said.

Jiang Wan'er's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Do you know where my parents lived in seclusion?"

“Of course,” Ling Chi said, “the Ice and Fire Cave on the back mountain of Xianxia Ridge in Mount Emei.”

"..."

……

Not long after the Demon Lord's daughter, Yue Rouxia, met Jiang Qing, a disciple of Mount Shu, they fell in love and lived in seclusion in the Ice and Fire Cave on the back of Mount Emei. Yue Rouxia set up a trap in the cave, planted a rare flower called "The Flower of Ice and Fire," and left behind a scroll. The Flower of Ice and Fire, one cold and one hot, if eaten by the same person, would not be able to neutralize the extreme heat and cold, and would result in death.

Later, Wang Xiaohu and Shen Qishuang consumed the Ice and Fire Essence, which greatly increased their power, giving them the ability to fight against the final boss, Zen Master Qianye.

Although the final victory relied solely on Zhao Ling'er's soul power.

At this moment, Ling Chi led Jiang Wan'er, Cao Gu, and the little fox to the Ice and Fire Cave, where they saw the Shu Mountain Sect and Demon Clan's martial arts techniques that Jiang Qing and Yue Rouxia had left on the walls of the secret chamber years ago.

"Is this where my parents lived?" Jiang Wan'er looked at everything here, her eyes filled with a new kind of emotion.

"This is the place," Ling Chi said. "If you want to come with me, then come with me; if you want to stay here, then stay here!"

Jiang Wan'er glanced at him and asked, "Why are you helping me?"

"Why?" Ling Chi's expression turned to one of reminiscence: "Perhaps it was because I had a few drinks with your mother back then!"

"!?!" Jiang Wan'er's eyes widened.

"Although your mother was a demon, she was a truly good female demon," Ling Chi smiled. "Unfortunately, there was an irreconcilable conflict between the Shu Mountain Sect and the demon race, which ultimately led to a tragic end for your parents."

"..." Jiang Wan'er was silent for a moment, then said, "Why didn't you help my parents back then?"

Ling Chi shook his head: "It was too late when I found out."

"..."

"Have you made up your mind?" Ling Chi asked. "Stay here? Or come with me?"

Jiang Wan'er was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you for helping me so much, but I want to stay here and guard the place where my parents once lived."

"Is that so!" Ling Chi nodded and said, "I respect your choice."

He then took out a conch shell and said, "This is a sound transmission conch shell. You can use it to contact me if you encounter any trouble in the future."

Jiang Wan'er accepted the communication conch shell and said, "Thank you, I will."

"Take care," Ling Chi said. "I'll come to see you when I have time."

Jiang Wan'er looked at him and nodded: "Mm."

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past few decades, countless things, both big and small, have happened.

In the end, Li Xiaoyao became the son-in-law of the Lin family. Lin Yueru gave birth to three children for him: two sons and a daughter. One son was surnamed Li, and the other son and daughter were surnamed Lin.

Although Li Xiaoyao eventually became the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, his identity as a live-in son-in-law would accompany him for the rest of his life.

Jiang Wan'er eventually followed the same path as in the game, founding the Xianxia Sect on Mount Emei and taking in five disciples, including Shen Qishuang. Shen Qishuang eventually got together with Wang Xiaohu, and the two lived happily ever after.

Meanwhile, the Xianxia Sect flourished over the decades, becoming another renowned immortal cultivation sect in the martial arts world.

Perhaps because of her mixed human and demon blood, Jiang Wan'er never seemed to age, becoming an ageless legend like Ling Chi.

Cao Gu followed Ling Chi, practicing medicine and helping people in the martial arts world for more than ten years. Under Ling Chi's tutelage, Cao Gu's skills in alchemy and medicine improved rapidly. Later, he returned to Mount Shu and, after more than twenty years of research, finally became a medical sage.

Because the Lin Family Fortress remained powerful, preventing the four great families from rising to prominence, and because Zhao Ling'er's Miao region became increasingly prosperous, and because Ling Chi specially took Zhao Ling'er to the Demon Realm to solve the Demon Realm's water shortage, although most of the characters from Legend of Sword and Fairy 5 Prequel and Legend of Sword and Fairy 5 appeared, the plot changed.

Almost all tragedies were avoided, and even if there were tragedies, they were just insignificant 'branch routes'. As a result, Ling Chi felt that what he did in this world was meaningful.

Over the past few decades, Ling Chi has placed Caiyi and the little fox in his space. Now, the little fox has grown into Su Mei from the Legend of Sword and Fairy 2 era, a creature that is both fox and snake, and is quite wonderful.

Perhaps because of the spirit beast contract, even though Su Mei wasn't recruited, she could still freely enter and exit the God of Cookery space and the farm, just like Fu Zhu.

While Fuzhu preferred to stay on the farm and fish in the sea, Su Mei enjoyed following Ling Chi on adventures. Thanks to the abundance of food in their space, Su Mei didn't need to cultivate diligently to grow stronger, which also added much fun to Ling Chi's life outside.

Over the past few decades, the Han and Miao people have lived in harmony. Under the leadership of the Han court, the two ethnic groups have engaged in trade and intermarriage, exchanging goods and resources, which has brought tangible benefits to both sides.

Under Zhao Ling'er's rule, the Miao people's lives became dozens of times richer than before, resulting in Zhao Ling'er having extremely high prestige among the Miao people. As the leader of the Moon Worship Cult grew old, the influence of the Moon Worship Cult gradually diminished. Nowadays, the only faith of most Miao people is that of the Goddess Nuwa, or more precisely, Zhao Ling'er.
