Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

"very beautiful."

"Quite good looking."

The maids were all beaming with pride at receiving the young master's praise. It was just a pity they didn't have cell phones, so they couldn't take a selfie.

"My turn." Shuang'er, wearing a flower wreath she had woven herself, twirled in front of Ling Chi: "Brother, does it look good?"

Shuang'er's wreath is red and yellow, which, when paired with the green leaves, looks so warm and joyful.

Ling Chi generously gave two thumbs up: "It's so beautiful, I declare Shuang'er the winner."

"Oh! Why is this happening?" The eight maids all started to whine and plead.

"Hehe, brother said I won, so I admit defeat!" Shuang'er giggled, which drew a coquettish reproach from the maids.

"Ling... Senior Brother Ling, look at my flower wreath." Just as they were laughing and joking, Yi Lin put on the flower wreath she had woven, showing it to Ling Chi for his approval, not very confidently.

Ling Chi looked at Yi Lin and his eyes lit up.

Although Yilin was wearing a nun's hat, it did not detract from the beauty of her flower wreath. On the contrary, the combination of the attributes of nun and flowers gave her a unique beauty.

Ling Chi nodded repeatedly, praising, "It looks beautiful. If Junior Sister Yilin wore a white dress, people would think you were Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Yilin blushed and said shyly, "How can I compare to Guanyin Bodhisattva? Amitabha."

As they traveled and laughed, the group arrived at the nearest small town to the Songshan Sect on the afternoon of March 14th.

By this time, many fellow practitioners from the Five Mountains Sword Sects had already arrived in the small town. Ling Chi and his group were too conspicuous, and were noticed by other sects after entering the town.

When the other sects learned that Ling Chi had brought his sister and eight maids to the Five Mountains Alliance, they were a little confused.

What is Ling Chi trying to do?

What did he take the Five Mountains Alliance for granted? A child's game?

People from the Songshan and Taishan factions shook their heads at Ling Chi's attitude, and some even looked down on him.

The Hengshan Sect, because Ling Chi had saved Liu Zhengfeng's family years ago, while not entirely agreeing with his attitude, wouldn't look down on him. The nuns of the Hengshan Sect, however, were somewhat worried.

……

"Sect Leader Ling, what are your thoughts?"

After finding out where the Hengshan Sect was staying, Ling Chi first had Shuang'er and the others book rooms at the inn, and then he escorted Yi Lin to the inn where the Hengshan Sect was staying. As soon as they met, Hengshan San Ding pulled him into the guest room and asked him why he had done so.

“The three nuns need not worry.” Ling Chi smiled. “Zuo Lengchan’s scheme will not succeed.”

Hengshan Sanding took Lingchi's words as a sign of great skill and daring.

It makes sense, considering that Ling Chi killed many people along the way on his journey to Blackwood Cliff. Although he did not fight with the Sun Moon Cult after arriving at Blackwood Cliff, it is rumored that Ling Chi embezzled a whole year's worth of the Sun Moon Cult's profits in just one month, almost causing the Sun Moon Cult's golden chain to break and resulting in irreparable losses.

The Sun Moon Cult and Dongfang Bubai were completely outmaneuvered by him, not to mention the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan.

Hengshan Sanding is relieved.

Since the Songshan Sect's conspiracy was doomed to fail, the three Hengshan disciples exchanged glances for a moment, and then Abbess Dingyi asked, "Sect Leader Ling, how old are you this year?"

"Huh?" Ling Chi replied with a hint of doubt, "Twenty-two."

Abbess Dingyi pressed further, "Are you married?"

"..."

Feeling the intense gazes of the three nuns, Ling Chi chuckled dryly, "No."

Hengshan Sanding's smile instantly made Ling Chi feel that something was wrong.

"Three nuns..."

"Hehehe." Abbess Dingyi chuckled and asked, "What does Sect Leader Ling think of Yilin?"

“This…” Turning his head to look at Yilin, whose head was bowed, Ling Chi said casually, “Junior Sister Yilin is very good. She is kind, innocent, and loving, comparable to Guanyin Bodhisattva.”

This answer made Hengshan Sanding laugh until his face was full of wrinkles, while Yilin's ears turned red.

“Amitabha,” said Abbess Dingxian. “Yilin is not yet free from worldly desires and should not remain in our Buddhist community.”

"Sect Master, I..." Yi Lin raised her head, her face full of panic, but was glared at by Master Ding Yi and lowered her head again.

“Yilin is kind-hearted by nature and easily deceived by wicked people.” Abbess Dingxian looked at Ling Chi: “I wonder if Sect Leader Ling would be willing to take care of her?”

"..." Ling Chi turned to look at Yi Lin, and seeing her constantly rubbing her sleeves and fidgeting with her feet, he couldn't help but chuckle: "I am naturally willing to take care of Junior Sister Yi Lin, but I wonder what Junior Sister Yi Lin thinks?"

Upon receiving Ling Chi's affirmative reply, Hengshan Sanding beamed with joy, while Yilin's ears turned even redder.

"Yilin." Abbess Dingyi patted her on the back: "Sect Leader Ling is asking you a question!"

"I, I..." Yilin raised her head, her face completely red. Facing Ling Chi's gaze, she lowered her head again: "I will listen to Master."

Chapter 55 Blue Culinary Skills, Farm Opens

Late at night, in the Chef's Space.

"Brother," Shuang'er asked after frying the cashews and draining the oil, "have you really chosen Sister Yilin?"

"It's not a matter of choosing," Ling Chi said, removing the shrimp veins one by one. "I simply didn't want to hurt her."

"Shuang'er doesn't understand." Shuang'er shook her head: "Does not wanting to hurt Sister Yilin mean you have to marry her?"

If you don't want to hurt her, why don't you marry Sister Lingshan?

“If I don’t marry her, she’ll be destined to spend her life as a Buddhist nun.” Ling Chi soaked the shrimp in water and said, “Yilin is capable of doing that.”

"..." Shuang'er thought for a moment, then nodded: "But Sister Lingshan..."

"Alright." Ling Chi interrupted her, peeling the cucumber as he spoke, "Stop playing matchmaker. Leveling up is more important than romance. Our base stats haven't changed in months. Come with me to Blackwood Cliff later."

"Oh." Shuang'er said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Sister Lingshan, I can't help you."

……

On the fifteenth of the third month, the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance was held.

Although the Songshan Sect made a grand show of force, the outcome was entirely predictable. Ling Chi, alone with his sword, defeated all his rivals, ascended to the throne of the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, and easily shattered Zuo Lengchan's ambitions and conspiracies.

Although they had already guessed the ending, Shuang'er and her eight maids still couldn't help but cheer and jump for joy, drawing attention from onlookers.

The nuns of the Hengshan Sect were all smiles; this ending couldn't be more ideal.

The Hengshan Sect immediately congratulated Ling Chi, while the Taishan Sect seemed somewhat helpless, and the Songshan Sect fell silent.

Ling Chi is too strong, so strong that they are filled with despair.

Losing is a minor matter; the blow to morale is fatal.

With the Huashan Sect seizing the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, the Songshan Sect is likely to decline in the future.

……

After a simple succession ceremony, Ling Chi received the Five Mountains Alliance Leader's Flag from Zuo Lengchan and delivered a powerful speech that impressed everyone.

"Thank you all. We, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, are of one heart and mind, protecting and watching over each other, unchanged for a hundred years. But as righteous heroes, we should uphold our chivalrous spirit, help the weak, and punish the wicked. However, in recent years, a small number of people have forgotten their identity, blinded by greed, and bullying the weak. As for who they are? I will not name them."

At this point, Ling Chi took in the various expressions on the faces of the people below the stage.

"I, Ling, am not talented, but I cannot turn a blind eye or a deaf ear! In order to uphold the righteous and chivalrous name of my Five Mountains Sword Sect, I hereby establish the rule of four rescues and four kills, and I ask everyone to strictly abide by it!"

Ling Chi, his voice booming, proclaimed: "All members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect shall: first, save the virtuous and righteous; second, save filial sons and virtuous grandsons; third, save chaste and virtuous women; and fourth, save the suffering common people. These are the four salvations!"

"All members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect shall be executed for four reasons: first, for committing evil deeds; second, for raping women; third, for betraying trust and treason; and fourth, for colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. These are the four punishments!"

Ling Chi drew his longsword, his gaze sharp as lightning: "Those who disobey will suffer the same fate as this stone!"

With a flick of the longsword, a flash of light appeared, followed by a sharp crack.

A boulder as tall as two people next to Ling Chi was cut in two.

With a muffled thud, the crowd below gasped in shock upon seeing the smooth, mirror-like broken stone. Their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Ling Chi.

Is this...is this even human?

The scene was completely silent.

……

After a moment of silence.

"The Hengshan Sect will obey the Alliance Leader's order!" Abbess Dingxian announced loudly.

"The Hengshan Sect will obey the Alliance Leader's order!" Master Mo announced loudly.

The leader of the Taishan Sect hesitated for a moment, then raised his voice to accept the order: "The Taishan Sect will obey the Alliance Leader's command!"

Zuo Lengchan's face turned pale and uncertain. Under immense pressure, he finally gave in: "The Songshan Sect... will obey the Alliance Leader's order."

Enjoying the awe of hundreds of people, Ling Chi sheathed his sword and said, "This Five Mountains Alliance has come to a successful conclusion. I wish the Five Mountains Sword Sect a bright future. Until we meet again!"

Until we meet again!

……

After the Five Mountains Alliance concluded, Ling Chi led the women back to the Huashan Sect.

Yilin accompanied them on this trip, and this time she brought an extra package.

Inside are Yilin's personal belongings from her time at the Hengshan Sect, brought over by Abbess Dingyi.

They had prepared for Yilin to marry Lingchi from the very beginning, and keeping Yilin at the Huashan Sect was the first step in that.

But they didn't know if Ling Chi would accept Yi Lin. If the two of them felt it wasn't right for each other, they wouldn't force it.

Fortunately, Ling Chi did not refuse, and Yi Lin was also happy to accept.

A happy ending.

……

The news that Ling Chi had defeated all the heroes and ascended to the throne of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance Leader greatly excited the entire Huashan Sect. However, the news that Yi Lin had left the monastic life and was about to become the sect leader's wife caused some unease within the Huashan Sect.

Especially the disciples like Liu Hou'er.

In their eyes, everything would be perfect if the sect leader's wife were Yue Lingshan. However, Yue Lingshan was in mourning and would definitely not be able to get married within two years. Unfortunately, Yilin successfully interfered during this period, leaving them helpless and unable to do anything about it.

The ending was already decided, but Ling Chi and Yi Lin did not hold their wedding immediately.

It wasn't that Ling Chi had any psychological issues, or that Yi Lin wasn't prepared. It was just that Yi Lin was completely bald, and wearing a phoenix coronet and wedding robes really didn't look right.
