Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

"Even my sister can't solve this?" Fuxi was astonished. "What... what should we do?"

Seeing Fuxi's worried expression, Nuwa comforted him, "Brother, don't panic. Although I can't solve it, Brother Ling certainly can. There is no problem in this world that Brother Ling can't solve."

“I never said that,” Ling Chi chuckled and said, “Don’t flatter me.”

"Brother Ling, you can definitely do it." Nuwa was full of confidence.

Ling Chi shook his head and said to Fu Xi, "In that case, I will accompany you on this journey."

Fuxi's face lit up with joy. He hadn't expected that when one door closes, another opens. As long as Ling Chi could solve the problem, his mission would be accomplished: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ling. His Majesty said that as long as the problem of the ten princes can be solved, His Majesty is willing to pay any price."

"That won't be necessary." Ling Chi waved his hand. "Aside from innate treasures, there's nothing that catches my eye."

“Uh…” Fuxi was speechless.

Ling Chi smiled slightly, turned to Nuwa and said, "Take Lingzhuzi back first! Lingzhuzi has just mastered two laws, let her practice them well, lest she cause trouble because she can't control herself."

Nuwa nodded: "Brother Ling, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on Lingzhu."

Lingzhuzi's face fell: "I don't want to leave, I want to eat something delicious."

Nuwa laughed and said, "As long as you completely master these two laws, I will keep you in the God of Cooking Realm, where you can eat whatever you want."

"Really?" Lingzhuzi's eyes lit up with excitement.

“The words of a sage are law, so how could he lie?” Nuwa said. “But if you cannot fully master it and cannot leave Nuwa’s Heaven for even a day, don’t blame me for punishing you.”

If you're going to punish someone, why are you emphasizing the word "briefly"? What exactly is the scope of your "briefly"?

……

Nuwa returned to Nuwa Heaven with the Spirit Pearl, and Lingchi also brought Fuxi to the Jade Pool of the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, Yaochi was bustling with activity. Almost all the wives of the high-ranking demon clan members had come to visit Changxi and the Golden Crow 'Crown Prince' with gifts. Wangshu, as a member of her maternal family, had also come from Taiyin Star to take care of her sister and ten nephews.

Di Jun received a message from Fu Xi and immediately rushed to Yaochi, where he met Ling Chi for the first time.

Upon seeing Ling Chi for the first time, Di Jun's eyes lit up: What an exceptionally handsome young man, truly extraordinary in style.

"I am Di Jun, and I pay my respects to the Divine Chef." Di Jun bowed respectfully.

Seeing that Di Jun was very courteous, Ling Chi smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is too kind. Please go and see the ten 'Crown Princes' first!"

Di Jun hadn't expected Ling Chi to be so direct, but he couldn't have asked for it: "In that case, please come with me, you who are of saintly birth."

Fuxi said at the opportune moment, "Your Majesty, I have already invited the Sage, but there are many women here, so it is not appropriate for me to go. I will take my leave now."

Emperor Jun quickly said, "Your Majesty has had a long journey. Once the issue of the Crown Prince is resolved, I will host a banquet to entertain Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is too kind. I shall take my leave."

Fuxi bowed to Lingchi again and left Yaochi.

……

Di Jun led Ling Chi all the way to the Demon Queen's Palace. Along the way, there were beautiful and charming female immortals everywhere. These female immortals were of different races and had all kinds of charms, which made Ling Chi a little dizzy.

The Jade Pool in the world of White Snake and Journey to the West doesn't have such a diverse array of female immortals. The primordial world is indeed unique.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fourteen Dishes

In the Demon Queen's Palace, Chang Xihe and her sister Wangshu, along with Dijun and Taiyi's younger sister Xihe, are looking after ten little golden crows.

These little golden crows were newly born and could not yet control their power well. The three women dared not relax their care for them, lest their power leak out and cause unnecessary damage.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived," a fairy from the Jade Pool announced as she entered from outside.

"His Majesty has arrived?" Changxi smiled, but said, "There are so many matters to attend to, Your Majesty shouldn't have come."

Xihe laughed and said, "Sister-in-law is so considerate, and elder brother has married a virtuous wife and loving mother."

"My sister is laughing at me again."

Amidst laughter and conversation, Di Jun and Ling Chi entered the Demon Queen's Palace.

Upon seeing his wife, sister, and sister-in-law, Di Jun smiled but said very seriously, "Madam, the God of Cookery has arrived. Come and pay your respects."

"The Sage of Cookery!?" The three women were startled and stepped forward to pay their respects to the Sage. However, when Wang Shu saw Ling Chi, a look of hesitation appeared in her eyes, as if she had a sense of familiarity with him.

"Greetings, Sage."

Facing these three women of noble birth, Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "No need for formalities."

Upon hearing Ling Chi's voice, Wang Shu's delicate body trembled slightly, and a strong look of excitement flashed in her eyes: You... is that you?

"Master Chef, these are my children," Di Jun said, pointing to the ten little golden crows.

Ling Chi nodded, his golden eyes instantly seeing through their facade.

Upon seeing this, he burst out laughing.

The four people present were stunned for a moment, and Chang Xi couldn't help but ask, "Why is the Chef God laughing?"

"You've given birth to ten wonderful children!" Ling Chi laughed. "Their aptitude is top-notch even among innate beings, and their future achievements are limitless."

Chang Xi and Di Jun smiled broadly, filled with joy, but when they thought of the children's health, a look of worry appeared on their faces: "But what about the children's gender..."

"Don't worry!" Ling Chi said, "It's just that after the yin and yang mingled, they have both male and female sexes. But because they are young, their sex is not obvious. When they grow up and fall in love with someone, it will be revealed."

These words relieved everyone. Di Jun said happily, "I see. Thank you for enlightening me, Chef God."

"No need." Ling Chi waved his hand: "However, their future gender depends on whether they prefer males or females."

Di Jun was stunned: "What about men? And what about women?"

"If they prefer men, they will become female Golden Crows; if they prefer women, they will become male Golden Crows." Ling Chi chuckled. "Your children are very lucky to be able to choose their own gender, unlike some beings who are born with the body of a boy and the heart of a girl, or the body of a girl and the heart of a boy, which is very painful."

"..."

The four people present were stunned: Is this good news?

Ling Chi patted Di Jun on the shoulder and laughed, "Whether you want your child to be a boy or a girl in the future will depend on you."

"Uh... thank you for your guidance, Chef God." Di Jun's eyes flickered as he began to ponder whether it would be better for his children to become male or female Golden Crows.

"It is fate that we meet." Ling Chi conjured up ten plates of dishes that shimmered with golden light and said, "This is called Pure and Immaculate. After eating it, you will gain a pure and immaculate body, free from the disturbance of filth and evil spirits, which will benefit them in the future."

Seeing the ten plates of golden, fragrant dishes, the four people present swallowed hard. The ten little golden crows that were playing all turned their heads and flew over, flapping their wings: "So fragrant! So fragrant!"

Di Jun quickly clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "On behalf of the children, Di Jun thanks the Divine Chef."

Chang Xihe and Xihe also quickly thanked him, but Wang Shu stood straight and looked at him with an increasingly strange gaze.

"No need to thank me, feed them!" Ling Chi looked at the ten little golden crows and laughed, "They're all drooling."

Chang Xi blushed and quickly divided the ten plates of "Pure Jade" (a type of porcelain dish) among her children.

When the little golden crow saw food, it immediately used its wings to protect the plate and happily began to eat.

"Ah—" ×10

Ten freshly made recipes were leaked. Since they were all the same, after multiple fusions, Ling Chi obtained several new recipes of different levels. The highest level one was a high-grade diamond color, which was really good.

Seeing the little golden crows looking like they were in ecstasy, Dijun and the others swallowed hard: They had long heard that the Culinary God Realm was famous throughout the prehistoric world for its delicious food, and that the food made by the Culinary God himself was the ultimate in prehistoric cuisine. They had thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true.

Seeing the four adults secretly swallowing their saliva, Ling Chi chuckled, "It's fate that we've met, and I certainly can't show favoritism." As soon as she finished speaking, four plates of dishes shimmering with diamond-like light appeared in front of the four of them: "One plate for each of you, eat up! Once the children realize what's happening, they'll be fighting you for them."

The moment the four dishes appeared, the four felt an irresistible temptation and wanted to eat them immediately. After hearing Ling Chi's words, they no longer hesitated, hurriedly thanked him, and began to eat without waiting.

"Well--"

"what--"

"Um--"

"what--"

Ling Chi looked at the four diamond-colored recipes that had been revealed. Although only Di Jun's recipe was high-grade diamond-colored, while the others were ordinary diamond-colored, the recipes were quite effective. Ling Chi accepted the four recipes with great satisfaction.

Just as Ling Chi had said, luckily the four of them ate the four dishes in time. When the ten little golden crows awoke from the illusion, they indeed flapped their wings and snatched the four plates, which were now just scraps. Although they only ate a little bit of the scraps, it still made them let out extremely joyful cries: "Ah—ah—"

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, it's a crow, so it's understandable that its cries are a bit mournful.

Looking at these ten good-for-nothing little golden crows, Di Jun really wanted to beat them up, but in front of the sage, he could only hold back.

"Many thanks to the Divine Chef for the delicious food. I would like to host a banquet to entertain you, but I do not know..." Di Jun asked very respectfully.

Ling Chi smiled and shook her head: "No need, I don't like other people's cooking. Now that this matter is settled, I should go back."

Seeing Ling Chi politely decline, Di Jun secretly regretted it and said, "In that case, I will escort the Sage."

"Wait!" Wang Shu, who had been silent until now, suddenly stepped forward, staring intently at Ling Chi, and asked, "Master Chef, have you ever been to the Moon?"

Ling Chi glanced at her and smiled faintly: "After the Great God Pangu created the world, he transformed into all things, and I have indeed been to all of them."

The implication is that the Moon Star must have also visited it.

"Then... has the God of Cookery ever seen this?" A short, chaotic-colored stick appeared in Wang Shu's hand.

Upon seeing the short stick, Di Jun exclaimed in surprise, "A Chaos Spiritual Treasure!?"

It's no wonder Di Jun was shocked. Even the lowest-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure is comparable in quality to a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. If it's slightly better, it can completely rival an Innate Supreme Treasure. His sister-in-law had never shown off before, but unexpectedly, she possessed a Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Moreover, judging from its quality, even if it's not as good as an Innate Supreme Treasure, it doesn't seem to be much worse.

In the vast primordial world, beings who could obtain Chaos Treasures were extremely rare, and they had disappeared from the primordial world after the Dragon-Han Calamity. Unexpectedly, they actually saw Chaos Treasures today. How could this not shock Emperor Jun and Xihe?

As for Chang Xi, although she knew that her sister was born with a Chaos Treasure, she had always kept it a secret. She never expected that Wang Shu would take out the Chaos Treasure today. She didn't know what Wang Shu was planning.

Chang Xi didn't know, but Ling Chi knew very well, because this short stick was clearly the rolling pin he gave to the moon rabbit that didn't have a companion spirit treasure when he traveled to Taiyin Star.

Originally, it was compensation for taking a large number of Chaos Spirit Stones from the Taiyin Star, but now it seems that Wangshu, the little rabbit, has taken it as a favor.

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "I know what you mean. That's right, this rolling pin is for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chi produced another rolling pin, twirled it in his hand, and said, "Although it's a Chaos Treasure, it's actually used for rolling out dough. I gave you one because I saw that another Moon Rabbit had a companion treasure, but you didn't."

"As expected of a senior." Wang Shu was extremely excited. Although she was a little speechless that her companion spirit treasure was a rolling pin, no matter what it was used for, it could not hide the quality of a chaotic spirit treasure. And all of this was given to her by Ling Chi, so how could she not be grateful?

"I have no way to repay your kindness, senior. I only wish to serve by your side forever to repay your kindness." Wang Shu knelt before Ling Chi.

Di Jun, Chang Xi, and Xi He stood silently to the side, offering no opinion.

"..." Ling Chi was silent for a moment, then said, "You are already a quasi-saint. Since Chang Xi married Di Jun, you have been the only moon goddess. There is no need for you to stay by my side."

"Compared to the Moon Goddess, Wangshu would rather be a maidservant by your side, Senior." Wangshu said with utmost sincerity, "I hope Senior will grant my request."

Faced with Wang Shu's expectant gaze, Ling Chi shook his head. A look of utter disappointment flashed in Wang Shu's eyes, but Ling Chi's next words brightened them again.
