Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Different historical periods produce different ingredients due to different climates and environments. Some ingredients, if not sought out now, will become extinct later.

For over a hundred million years, Ling Chi has been traversing the primordial world, not out of boredom, but in search of ingredients. Over those hundred million years, he has circled the primordial world three times, finding countless unprecedented ingredients and creating many unprecedented recipes. But he cannot stop, for as mentioned before, if he does not search now, he will never find them again.

During the climb, Ling Chi found some new ingredients, including both plants and animals. These animals were all unintelligent beasts, and their sizes were terrifying. Almost every one of them could be compared to the Bull Demon King, and there were many that were even larger than the Bull Demon King.

This mountain, as a pillar supporting the sky, is so high and so large that it can nurture hundreds of millions of enormous beasts. Among these beasts, some have developed intelligence and become spirit beasts, while others have been tainted by the evil energy after the creation of the world and have become savage beasts without intelligence. These savage beasts only have the instinct to kill and eat, and for the prehistoric world, they are the first species to fail in evolution.

Can eat.

Chapter Seven: Nuwa is still a little girl

Ling Chi climbed and searched along the way, and along the way captured some savage beasts to raise in farms and ranches. Putting everything else aside, the quality of these savage beasts had reached the diamond grade, and in the future era of dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, these savage beasts would almost all be extinct. For the sake of sustainable development in the future, Ling Chi captured enough savage beasts to continue the population of his race.

Although the beasts are huge and have an enormous appetite, they also kill and devour each other. As long as their numbers are sufficient, they can continue to reproduce and avoid extinction.

Since the farmland has unlimited space and Ling Chi can modify the terrain, he created a basin the size of the solar system, which is more than enough to support tens of millions of savage beasts.

If the people on the farms and ranches have nothing to do, they can also play hunting games. Hunting wild animals is much more exciting than hunting wild boars or bears. There are plenty of warmongers on the farms and ranches, which adds a lot of fun to their lives.

Nearly a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lingchi has only just climbed halfway up the mountain, which shows how majestic Zhou Mountain is.

One day, Ling Chi arrived at a strange valley. It was strange because there were many clay sculptures there, and these sculptures were extremely deformed. There were three-legged frogs, two-headed birds, and five-legged deer, which were relatively normal. The rest were things like bird heads with snake bodies, horse legs, and fish tails; human faces with deer necks, tiger bodies with fish fins, and chicken tails; two tiger heads with one fish eye, bird bodies with snake tails... In short, there was nothing you couldn't imagine that you couldn't see.

Who did this? What a genius!

Van Gogh and Picasso were no better.

Just as Ling Chi was marveling at this, a little girl dressed in an animal skin skirt and covered in mud was sitting cross-legged by the stream not far away, patting a clod of yellow mud.

The little girl looked to be in her early teens. She was slender and covered in mud, but her bright eyes and white teeth were still visible. Her dark hair was wet with sweat and hung limply over her forehead, looking messy, but it couldn't hide her cuteness.

"I must make one today, I must make one that lives today!" The little girl slammed the clay on the ground and began to sculpt it.

Soon, the shape of the clay sculpture emerged: two birds. At first glance, they seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that each bird had only one wing—one was missing its left wing, and the other its right wing; in addition, each bird had only one eye—one was missing its left eye, and the other its right eye.

After finishing the clay sculpture, the little girl nodded in satisfaction. Then she blew on the two birds, and the clay birds wobbled and fluttered into the air.

"Hahaha! This is amazing! I finally made something!" The little girl excitedly put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly.

The laughter carried for miles, reaching Ling Chi, who was examining the 'work of art'. In a flash, he appeared a hundred meters behind the little girl.

Seeing the two strange birds circling in the sky and the little girl laughing with her hands on her hips on the ground, Ling Chi was full of questions: "What's going on here?"

As the little girl was laughing wildly, the two birds suddenly froze, circled and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"Quack—!" The little girl's laughter stopped abruptly, as if she had been choked.

"My...my bird!"

The little girl rushed over, looked at the two birds that had been smashed to pieces on the ground, plopped down on the ground, and frowned in thought.

When Ling Chi saw this scene, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

"They came back to life and even flew up, so why did they still die? What went wrong?" The little girl was completely baffled.

"A body without a soul cannot live."

"Who!?" The little girl turned around hurriedly, staring warily at the person who had silently appeared behind her.

Having lived here for millions of years, she knew that this world was a dog-eat-dog world with no logic. If she hadn't been invincible for millions of miles around, she would probably have been eaten clean by wild beasts and turned into dung long ago.

But at this very moment, someone appeared silently behind her. If this person intended to harm her, she was likely to face dire consequences.

Ling Chi looked at the little girl exuding murderous intent and sighed inwardly: This twisted world has even turned such a cute little girl into a ruthless killer; otherwise, she couldn't possibly possess such astonishing killing intent. In modern times, it's simply unimaginable.

"My name is Ling Chi, you can call me the God of Cookery." Ling Chi smiled slightly, and a lollipop appeared out of thin air in his hand: "Want some?"

The little girl's pupils contracted, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "How did you end up here?"

"I'm currently searching for ingredients in Zhou Mountain," Ling Chi said with a smile. "After all, I'm a culinary master, and I love making delicious food. Want a lollipop?"

Seeing the rainbow-colored lollipop in Ling Chi's hand, the little girl hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out her hand.

Ling Chi didn't give it to her immediately, but smiled and said, "Aren't you going to say thank you?"

"..." The little girl's eyes turned cold, but then she seemed to remember something, her expression softened, and she said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ling Chi smiled and handed her the lollipop.

The little girl took it, looked at the round lollipop, and asked, "How do you eat it?"

"It's a bit hard, it's best to lick it," Ling Chi smiled. "It can last a long time."

"..." The little girl stuck out her tongue and licked the lollipop.

"Mmm, so sweet." The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Sweet, isn't it!" Ling Chi laughed. "Eat slowly. Let me tell you why those lovebirds didn't survive."

"Lovebirds?" The little girl paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Hmm, I originally wanted to call them Manman, but Lovebirds seems to sound better, so let's call them Lovebirds!"

"..." Ling Chi chuckled twice and said, "You should know that after a primordial being dies, its soul leaves its body and wanders between heaven and earth, right?"

"Hmm." The little girl nodded: "These souls are very weak, their power is less than one ten-thousandth of what it was when they were alive, and they are very afraid of yang energy."

“Because the soul is attached to the body, only when the soul and body are united can there be life,” Ling Chi said. “When you were sculpting these two birds out of clay…did you infuse them with souls?”

(⊙x⊙；)

The little girl pondered for a moment, then immediately went to play in the mud...

A moment later, another pair of lovebirds took shape. Then, the little girl casually summoned the souls of the two nearest spirit beasts and infused them into the two birds. Finally, she exhaled a breath of creation energy. The lovebirds' eyes were filled with liveliness. They first glanced at Ling Chi and the little girl, and then flew away side by side into the distance.

After a long time, neither of the two birds showed any sign of landing.

The little girl excitedly put her hands on her hips, threw her head back, and laughed wildly: "Wahahaha...cough cough!"

The lollipop juice choked my throat.

Ling Chi chuckled softly, conjured a ball of clear water, and helped her swallow the syrup.

The little girl finally calmed down and said to Ling Chi, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ling Chi smiled and said, "Congratulations on learning to create life."

"It was just a trick." The little girl shook her head, not believing that she had succeeded.

"Oh?" Ling Chi said, "I'd like to hear the details."

“Creating life should involve creating both body and soul together, not extracting the souls of other living beings and injecting them into the clay I mold,” the little girl said. “In the end, it’s because my ability to create is insufficient. Although I can take shortcuts, I am ultimately inferior.”

"..." What could Ling Chi say? He could only clap his hands repeatedly.

???

The little girl tilted her head and looked at him: "What are you doing?"

"I'm applauding for you!" Ling Chi clapped a few more times and said, "This is our custom where we're from. When someone performs well, we should applaud to show encouragement or welcome."

"Oh?" The little girl clapped her hands and grinned, showing her teeth. "It's quite fun."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "You said 'your side,' where are you from?"

"The Realm of Culinary Gods," Ling Chi said, "a small world revolving around the primordial world, have you heard of it?"

"No," the little girl shook her head and asked, "Is it fun?"

“It’s a lot of fun.” Ling Chi laughed. “I’ll take you there sometime. Unlike the Primordial World, the Culinary God Realm is very peaceful. All living things live in harmony and there is no fighting.”

The little girl was stunned for a moment: "Does such a world exist?"

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Ling Chi smiled. "If you'd like, I can take you there to see it right now."

"..." A hint of wariness flashed in the little girl's eyes, and she shook her head: "No, let's talk about it later!"

A strong sense of vigilance.

"Whatever you like." Ling Chi took out a set of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), took two bites, and seeing the little girl drooling, he smiled and took out another set: "Try it."

"..." The little girl pursed her lips and took it: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After taking the first bite, the little girl couldn't stop eating it; this jianbing guozi was so delicious.

Not satisfied with just pancakes, Ling Chi brought out two bowls of hot and sour soup: "Try this hot and sour soup, it's especially appetizing."

"Thank you." The little girl thought Ling Chi was quite amazing, as he actually carried so many delicious foods with him. Although she hadn't tasted the hot and sour soup yet, just the smell made her very hungry.

After taking a sip, I couldn't stop: "It's delicious."

Over the next two hours, Ling Chi brought out more than a dozen snacks, which made the little girl beam with joy and her belly round and full.

"I can't take it anymore." The little girl lay sprawled on the ground. "I really can't eat anymore."

Ling Chi chuckled, finished the rest of his food, and asked, "How did it taste?"

"Delicious!" the little girl praised. "Although you're a bit mysterious, your cooking is really good. I believe you genuinely love making food."

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm also a culinary master who loves making delicious food." Ling Chi sat down next to the little girl and said, "Hey, we've known each other for a few hours now, and I've already told you my name. Shouldn't you tell me yours too?"

“My name is Nuwa,” the little girl said. “I am the mistress of this valley.”

Hearing this name, Ling Chi was not surprised at all. From the moment he saw the clay sculptures in the valley, he had a general idea of ​​who the owner of this place was.

Who else in the entire ancient legends loves to play with mud and create life from it, besides Nuwa?

"Are you all alone here?" Ling Chi asked.

"Hmm," Nuwa said, "There's a cave not far from here where a man named Fuxi lives. He was born a thousand years before me, and we get along quite well. I call him brother."

Nuwa and Fuxi, now they're both here.

Ling Chi had a strange feeling. In the past, when she met Nuwa, Nuwa was a saint who needed to be looked up to. But in this world, Nuwa was still a little girl who liked to play in the mud. She didn't have the demeanor of the mother of humankind in later generations.

However, this kind of Nuwa is quite good. Although she is quite vigilant, once you get to know her, you can still discover her childlike innocence and liveliness. In comparison, this dirty adult has no more childlike innocence.

"Nuwa, how old are you? How many years have you lived here?" Ling Chi asked.

“Hmm…” Nuwa thought for a moment and said, “I became conscious not long after the creation of heaven and earth, but I didn’t hatch until three million years ago.”

It hatched... it really was hatched from an egg.

"So, you're a primordial being?" Ling Chi pressed.

“I think so!” Nuwa said. “Although I don’t remember clearly, I’ve always felt that I existed before the creation of heaven and earth.”
