Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

The malice of a Great Immortal can cause real harm. The Black Bear Spirit suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and a bad premonition plunged him into panic: Who is eyeing Grandpa Bear?

Seeing that the black bear monster had actually sensed his malice, Ling Chi smiled slightly, immediately revealed himself, and kicked the black bear monster.

Nothing unexpected happened during the process. Although the black bear monster wanted to fight back, it didn't even have time to react before Ling Chi kicked it to the ground and then punched it twice more, making it see stars and scream in agony.

While it was screaming in pain, Ling Chi took out a plate of golden food and stuffed it into its mouth.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the ordinary gold-level bear monster. The monster's level is too low and does not count towards the conquest count. You have obtained the ordinary gold-level recipe, 'The Power of the Bear.'"

"Bear's Strength: Common Gold Recipe, Strength +100, Cooldown 10 days."

……

It was a so-so recipe, but the 100 strength was still pretty good. However, the name of the recipe reminded him of an animated film he watched when he was a child. He had almost forgotten the name and plot of the film, but he remembered one line very clearly: "He has the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the speed of a leopard, and the strength of a bear!"

Childhood!

After conquering the black bear monster, Ling Chi threw it into the farm. As for the little monsters in the cave, Ling Chi thought about it and finally killed the ones with more karma. He warned the rest not to do bad things in the future, or he would make them turn to ashes. Then he released them.

Ling Chi's standards have improved. These insignificant little demons are not high-grade food, and it's not worth recruiting them as farmers and herdsmen. In addition, they haven't done anything bad, so it's not good to kill them. It's better to just let them go and let them fend for themselves, which is the best of both worlds.

Afterwards, Ling Chi searched through the Black Wind Cave and found almost nothing except for some fruits, pears, peaches, and other things to eat and drink.

"Poor wretch!" Ling Chi shook his head, left Black Wind Cave, and ventured into Black Wind Mountain to continue his search. This place was not a blessed land after all. Although he found some thousand-year-old ginseng and the like, they were no longer valuable to him; they were better than nothing.

Ling Chi spent two days searching through Black Wind Mountain. Although he obtained a lot of ingredients, he didn't get anything of great value. As the saying goes, something is better than nothing.

Without the Black Bear Spirit stealing the cassock, although Elder Jinchi still set fire and burned himself to death, Tang Sanzang escaped this calamity without serious injury and continued his journey under the protection of Sun Wukong.

Meanwhile, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was meditating in the boy's bamboo grove, calculated with her fingers and frowned. She had originally predicted that she would receive a guardian deity during this calamity, but now that the calamity was over, the guardian deity hadn't appeared.

After the divination, it was found that the heavenly secrets were in complete chaos, and the cause and effect could not be calculated at all. This made Guanyin Bodhisattva even more puzzled: What exactly went wrong?

At this moment, Guanyin's guardian deity was happily munching on honey in the farm space of the Chef God System: "Delicious, so delicious! This honey is so fragrant and sweet, it's like a taste from a dream. Waaah, this is the life I've always wanted. My life before was so hard."

The black bear monster secretly vowed that he would never leave this place, even if it meant his death; he wanted to live happily here for the rest of his life.

……

Several days later, at Gao Laozhuang.

Lingchi arrived at this place several days earlier than Tang Sanzang and his disciples. He then transformed into a fly to visit Gao Cuilan, who was imprisoned by Zhu Bajie. Gao Cuilan was indeed a rare beauty, whose looks even surpassed those of ordinary fairies, almost comparable to Chang'e. No wonder Zhu Bajie said she was as beautiful as Chang'e; it seems Zhu Bajie was not exaggerating.

It's a miracle that such a beautiful woman could grow up peacefully in this small Gao Village. Unfortunately, her beauty ultimately brought her bad luck. First, she was forced into marriage by a local bully. She was rescued by a strong man and thought she had married a perfect husband, but it turned out that her perfect husband was a pig demon.

Fortunately, the pig demon wasn't too bad-hearted. Seeing her strong resistance, he didn't force her, but simply locked her up, hoping that with time, she would accept her fate.

In the original Journey to the West, Sun Wukong eventually rescued her from Zhu Bajie's clutches. However, before leaving, Zhu Bajie promised to return after his pilgrimage, causing Gao Cuilan great anxiety. Although it's ultimately unknown whether Zhu Bajie returned to Gao Village after his successful pilgrimage, later generations created an animated story about Sun Xiaosheng and Zhu Xiaojie, in which Zhu Bajie eventually returned to Gao Village, married Gao Cuilan, and had a son named Zhu Xiaojie.

Interestingly, after Zhu Xiaojie was born, Zhu Bajie took his son to Flower Fruit Mountain to show off to Sun Wukong, which displeased the childless Sun Wukong. But Zhu Bajie played a trick on him, making Sun Wukong drink the water of the Mother-Child River, which caused Sun Wukong to give birth to a little monkey, named Sun Xiaosheng.

Then the animated film, featuring Sun Xiaosheng and Zhu Xiaojie as the main characters, unfolds a new story.

Childhood!

However, those are all stories fabricated by later generations. It is unknown whether they will happen in this world. But regardless of whether they will, since Ling Chi has encountered them, he will not ignore them.

He suddenly appeared before Gao Cuilan, startling her as she was lost in thought: "Who is it!?"

"Miss Gao, don't be afraid." Ling Chi smiled slightly and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "I'm here to save you."

Hearing these words, Gao Cuilan felt relieved and finally saw Ling Chi's face clearly. Upon seeing him, her heart pounded wildly, as if countless little deer were jumping around, making her blush and unable to speak.

"Miss Gao?"

"Yes." Gao Cuilan blushed even more, lowering her head: "Young master... are you really here to save me?"

"That's true." Ling Chi smiled slightly, "But how to save Miss Gao depends on Miss Gao's own wishes."

"What do I mean?" Gao Cuilan asked, puzzled. She looked up at him, her eyes flashing with shyness: He... is just too handsome!

"What do you mean, young master?"

Seeing Gao Cuilan becoming increasingly shy, Ling Chi touched his handsome face and sighed inwardly: "Sigh! I knew being too handsome wouldn't bring any good, but what can I do? I didn't do it on purpose; this world forced me into it."

"Does Miss Gao want me to rescue you from here? Or does she want me to eliminate the monster and completely free her?" Ling Chi gave two answers.

Gao Cuilan replied without hesitation, "Of course, it's elimination..."

Just as she was about to say "annihilate," Gao Cuilan suddenly couldn't bring herself to say it. She remembered the time when Zhu Bajie saved her from the bully. Although Zhu Bajie was a monster and ugly, he had indeed been kind to her and her family. If she were to eliminate him with just a few words, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Seeing Gao Cuilan's hesitation, Ling Chi clearly understood her thoughts, so he said, "I know that the monster has done you a favor, Miss Gao, and it is only right that you do not want to kill him. But if you just leave here, I'm afraid that the monster will bring you back sooner or later. What will you do then?"

Faced with this unsolvable problem, Gao Cuilan looked conflicted and lowered her head, saying, "I...I don't know either."

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Miss Gao, there's no need to worry. I have a third way."

"Really!?" Gao Cuilan's face lit up with joy. "Does Young Master have any other ideas?"

"That means I will marry Miss Gao and protect her. When the monster comes, it will see that Miss Gao has become my wife and will surely back down."

He paused for a moment, then added, "If he becomes enraged and fights me to the death, even if I kill him, Miss Gao shouldn't be too upset."

Chapter Twelve: Nine Heavens Breath Soil

Gao Cuilan shyly agreed to Ling Chi's third method. After all, a woman has to get married eventually. Rather than marrying a pig demon, it would be better to marry a handsome and dashing man.

But Gao Cuilan was also worried that Ling Chi might not have enough strength and might be killed if he fought the pig demon.

The thought that she might cause Ling Chi's death filled Gao Cuilan with worry, but Ling Chi told her not to worry. If Zhu Bajie didn't come, that was fine, but if he did come, he wouldn't mind letting Zhu Bajie know the consequences of crashing into the city wall.

Seeing Ling Chi's confidence, Gao Cuilan felt relieved for the time being. Thinking that she was about to become Ling Chi's wife, her beautiful face gradually flushed red.

Just as Ling Chi was about to take his relationship with Gao Cuilan to the next level, a sudden gust of dark clouds covered the sun outside, accompanied by a gust of demonic wind. A pig demon dressed in a black robe landed outside Gao Cuilan's window, and a rough voice came in: "Wife, may I come in today?"

Gao Cuilan's face turned deathly pale instantly: "No! No...you...you don't come in!"

"My lady, we've already been married, why are you rejecting me, old pig! As the saying goes, 'A coarse willow basket and a fine willow measure,' who in this world dislikes an ugly man? I may be a bit ugly, but I can work! My lady, you... um?" The pig demon outside the window sniffed the air and immediately flew into a rage: "How can there be a man's scent inside, you scoundrel!"

With a bang, the pig demon smashed open the window and jumped in, its body radiating a murderous aura. Its eyes were filled with endless killing intent as it swept towards Ling Chi.

ga-

Upon seeing Ling Chi's appearance, the pig demon was instantly dumbfounded. His murderous aura and eyes vanished in an instant, and he stammered, his legs shaking, "B-B-B..."

boom--

Ling Chi kicked Zhu Bajie out of the window and said to Gao Cuilan, "Miss Gao, don't worry. Take me away from the pig demon, and then I'll come back and tell you my heartfelt feelings."

The next moment, Ling Chi darted out of the window and chased after the pig demon who was tumbling and crawling.

Gao Cuilan rushed to the window, watching the dark clouds recede and the blue light that followed, her heart filled with both tension and fear: Young master, you must be alright!

Ling Chi didn't return amidst her immense worry, causing Gao Cuilan to lose a lot of weight in just a few days. Her once slightly round face became much thinner, and her bright eyes lost their luster, as if all her energy had been drained away. If this continued, she feared she would pass away in a few days.

Just then, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong arrived at Gao Village.

When Tang Sanzang and his disciples heard about the Gao family's experience, Sun Wukong found it amusing and, out of kindness, decided to help the Gao family resolve their troubles.

However, when Sun Wukong met Gao Cuilan, he found that Gao Cuilan's physical and mental state was extremely poor, as if she were a soulless shell, which was very pitiful.

Sun Wukong frowned and gritted his teeth: "This monster has really caused a lot of harm."

Because of his anger, he didn't notice Gao Cuilan's weak cries of "Young Master, Young Master." Instead, he told Old Master Gao and Old Madam Gao to take Gao Cuilan back to the manor and take good care of her, while he stayed in Gao Cuilan's room, waiting for the pig demon to arrive.

When Grandpa Gao and Grandma Gao saw their daughter in this state, they were heartbroken and burst into tears. This also made Tang Sanzang very distressed, and he repeatedly chanted Buddhist prayers: "This monster has really harmed people a lot. I hope Wukong can get rid of him."

Meanwhile, in the Yunzhan Cave of Fuling Mountain, not far from Gao Laozhuang, Zhu Bajie, who had been hung up and whipped by Ling Chi for three days and three nights, was on the verge of a mental breakdown: "Great Sage, spare me, old pig! I, old pig, will never dare to do it again."

"Spare you?" Ling Chi lashed Zhu Bajie with his whip again, saying, "Spareing you isn't impossible."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy immediately endured the pain and begged for mercy, saying, "I beg the Great Sage to have mercy."

Ling Chi did some quick calculations with his fingers and said, "You said you were enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva to protect monks from the Tang Dynasty on their journey to the Western Paradise to obtain the true scriptures?"

"That's right, that's right!" Pigsy hurriedly said, "Great Sage, for the sake of Guanyin Bodhisattva, please spare this old pig!"

"I'll spare you, but you mustn't bother Gao Cuilan again, or else..."

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" Pigsy knew that Gao Cuilan had hooked up with a real tycoon. Although he used to have a high status, he was now just a demon who had mistakenly been reborn as a pig. How could he compare to Ling Chi, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons? Moreover, Ling Chi was personally appointed by the Jade Emperor to deal with demons like him. If he dared to cause even the slightest trouble, even if Ling Chi killed him, no one would stand up for him.

Since becoming a demon, Pigsy has known that this world without a powerful backer is too dangerous. He finally managed to get on the good side of Guanyin Bodhisattva and obtain a spot on the pilgrimage. How could he risk his life for a human woman? So Pigsy readily agreed and swore that he would never bother Gao Cuilan again, or else he would be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.

Pigsy was desperate to survive.

Since Pigsy had sworn an oath, Ling Chi let him off the hook, but made him put on a show: "Tonight, go to Gao Cuilan's place and do as I say..."

……

That night, Pigsy was tormented by Monkey King all night long. The next morning, Monkey King tied him up and took him to see Tang Sanzang, where he became a disciple and joined Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures. However, Gao Cuilan never appeared, and Pigsy didn't ask about it. Tang Sanzang and Monkey King naturally didn't notice anything amiss, and this first of the eighty-one tribulations passed smoothly.

Just after Tang Sanzang and his disciples set off, Ling Chi fed Gao Cuilan a peach, curing her illness. At the same time, he implanted a cultivation technique into her consciousness and then left.

Although Gao Cuilan was beautiful, Ling Chi was already surrounded by too many beautiful women, so he would not easily provoke women. Even if he did, he would not provoke an ordinary woman like Gao Cuilan. His talk of marrying her that day was just a kind of wicked teasing. He just did not expect Gao Cuilan to take it seriously and become so haggard for him.

Ling Chi felt a pang of guilt, so he offered the peaches of immortality and cultivation techniques to make amends before chasing after Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Gao Cuilan, having eaten the peaches and obtained the cultivation techniques, began cultivating on her own after recovering. Whether she would ever see Ling Chi again depended on fate.

……

Several days later, Tang Sanzang and his disciples arrived at Yellow Wind Ridge. Unexpectedly, a strange wind arose as soon as they arrived, so strong that it blotted out the sun, and yellow sand filled the air. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie couldn't even open their eyes. But the strange wind came and went quickly. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie soon opened their eyes, but when they looked at the back of the White Dragon Horse, they found it empty.

"Oh no!" Sun Wukong cried out, "Master has been captured by a monster!"

Wukong quickly summoned the local mountain god and earth god, and then asked about the nearby monsters. It turned out that there was a monster called the Yellow Wind Monster, whose specialty was blowing yellow winds.

Having identified the demon who had kidnapped his master, Sun Wukong went to confront the Yellow Wind Demon. The Yellow Wind Demon was no match for Sun Wukong, but its ability to blow yellow wasps was a perfect counter to Sun Wukong's power, and Sun Wukong's eyes were directly injured by the demonic wind. He couldn't save his master, and he even lost his own eyes in the process.

At this moment, Pigsy finally came in handy. He helped Sun Wukong find a house and thought they could rest for a while. Unexpectedly, the owner of the house turned out to be the old woman who was actually the Old Mother of Lishan in disguise. She easily cured Sun Wukong's eyes and then told him about the origin of the Yellow Wind Monster.

After learning about the origins of the Yellow Wind Monster, Sun Wukong went to invite the Bodhisattva Lingji to subdue the Yellow Wind King, who was transformed from a yellow-haired weasel, thus overcoming another tribulation.

Just as the three of them continued their journey westward, the Old Mother of Lishan looked into the void and smiled, saying, "Since the Great Sage has come, why not show yourself?"

Ling Chi immediately revealed himself and bowed to the Old Mother of Lishan, saying, "Ling Chi greets the Old Mother."

Although the world has changed, the Old Mother of Lishan and the Old Mother of Lishan in the White Snake world are still the same person. However, compared to the White Snake world, the Old Mother of Lishan in this world has almost no relationship with Ling Chi. They only met once from afar at the Heavenly Peach Banquet and are considered strangers who know each other.

At the time, the Old Mother of Lishan was far away, but now that Ling Chi was close, she sensed the aura of bloodline emanating from him, and her expression changed: "The bloodline within you... it's actually..."

Ling Chi pretended not to know and asked, "What did Mother say about my bloodline?"

The Old Mother of Lishan stared intently at him, as if trying to see through him. However, Ling Chi was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while the Old Mother of Lishan was merely an avatar left behind by Nuwa in this world, with a strength of only the early stage of Quasi-Saint. It wouldn't be so easy for her to see through Ling Chi.

Finally, the Old Mother of Lishan, who could not see anything, said, "Great Sage, would you like to accompany me to Mount Li?"

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "It is my wish, I dare not ask."
