Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Girls love cleanliness, and pretty girls especially love cleanliness. Being able to take a hot bath in the cold Kunlun Mountains, Zhou Zhiruo happily took out a ball of soap from her little bundle, intending to clean herself thoroughly.

This soap ball wasn't made by Ling Chi himself, but rather a washing product that already existed in the Song Dynasty, specifically for washing the face and body. However, it was too expensive on the market, and ordinary families simply couldn't afford it; only those who were wealthy could afford to buy a few.

Zhou Zhiruo definitely didn't have any money; Ling Chi bought this soap ball for her. It was round and smooth, only about the size of an adult's palm, and cost one tael of silver.

Besides Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao is also included.

Xiao Zhao took out a soap ball from her small bundle. Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo had also taken one out, the two little girls looked at each other and then looked away.

……

Ling Chi went to gather firewood, while Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo filled the bathtub with snow. Soon after, a fire was lit around the bathtub, and the snow melted, eventually turning into cool water at a suitable temperature.

Ling Chi made a simple curtain out of a blanket to separate the bathtub area so the two little girls could take a bath. While gathering firewood, he hunted down a few snow chickens, which he then plucked and roasted.

The two little girls soaked in the hot water, letting out a comfortable groan in unison: "Mmm~~~~"

……

Half an hour later, the curtain was drawn back, and two little girls, looking completely transformed, appeared.

Ling Chi turned his head and looked over, his eyes immediately lighting up: "What two beautiful little fairies!"

"Hehe." Xiao Zhao smiled radiantly, and Zhou Zhiruo also smiled shyly.

"Father, why don't you go take a bath too!" Xiao Zhao said, coming closer. "Sister Zhiruo and I will help you heat up your bathwater."

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's no trouble at all."

……

Not long after, the two snow chickens were roasted.

"Ding, Roasted Snow Chicken, Advanced White Recipe, True Qi +0.5. Cooldown time: 10 days."

Ling Chi was a little surprised; she hadn't expected a simple roast chicken to be a high-class white-label dish. It must be due to the ingredients themselves.

Snowcock: The highest-altitude juvenile species in the world, generally distributed at altitudes of 3000 to 6000 meters, up to above the snow line. They can live on mountaintops year-round and are rarely seen on plains.

incredible.

……

"Daddy, the bathwater is ready! Go take a bath!" Xiao Zhao walked over, sniffing the air. "It smells so good!"

Ling Chi smiled and handed the two roasted snow chickens to her and Zhou Zhiruo: "Eat up!"

"Thank you, Father (Brother Ling)."

Xiao Zhao glared fiercely at Zhou Zhiruo: "You're taking advantage of me again!"

Zhou Zhiruo sat quietly to one side and tore off a chicken wing to eat.

"Um..."

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the high-level white-class diner Zhou Zhiruo. However, the diner's level is too low and will not be counted in the conquest count. Since she had already dropped the recipe, no recipes will drop this time."

Over the course of a year, Ling Chi managed to raise a little girl who was not even in the highest rank to become a high-level white-rank diner. Unfortunately, just like Xiao Zhao, she got the recipes when she was at the ordinary white-rank level, and even after she was promoted to high-level white-rank, she did not get any more recipes corresponding to her rank.

However, this gave Ling Chi an idea: could he train a group of experts and then reveal the recipes to them once they reached a high enough level?

However, after thinking about it for a long time, I gave up.

First, cultivating a master is no easy feat. Even a regular blue-level master requires decades of training. Even with a wealth of powerful martial arts manuals and extraordinary encounters like Zhang Wuji's, it would still take at least a decade. He might as well kidnap a master and feed them directly, like the Xuanming Elders did.

In just over a year, the Xuanming Elders helped him level up. Even if he only kidnapped one expert, he could level up in three or four years, which is much cheaper than training an expert himself.

……

Ling Chi soaked in the bathtub, let out a comfortable sigh, and hummed a little tune: "I love taking baths, my skin feels so good, oh my goo oh my goo..."

The two little girls thought it sounded really good, even though they didn't understand some of the lyrics, but that didn't matter.

Xiao Zhao asked, "Father, what song are you singing? It sounds so nice."

"Haha, of course." Ling Chi shamelessly plagiarized the copyright of this song: "This is a bath song that your dad created himself, and it's called 'I Love Taking a Bath'."

Then he sang even louder: "Lulala lulala lulala lulala le, lulala lulala lulala lulala le..."

"Hehe, this is so much fun!" Xiao Zhao laughed. "Daddy, teach me to sing, I want to sing too."

"Eat your chicken first, then sing."

"Well."

……

Two hours later, Ling Chi returned to the cliff and stabbed a roasted snow chicken, which was hanging on a thick tree branch and smelling delicious, at the little white snake.

"Hiss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Chapter Twenty: Recruiting Snow Serpents

What is stabbing me?

The little white snake turned its head and saw a strange, golden, featherless chicken constantly butting against it, hurting it.

What an ugly, weird chicken!

The little white snake was startled and bit the strange chicken's neck, about to inject its venom.

next moment……

"what?"

The little white snake licked its tongue and sniffed: "It smells so good."

……

Two minutes later, the little white snake swallowed the roasted snow chicken with difficulty, and its whole body turned into a ball.

Wow! I'm so full! I haven't needed to eat for ten days.

The little white snake let out a contented burp.

Huh? How come something's been poked into my mouth?

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the top-tier white-level diner, Snow Serpent. The diner's level is too low and does not count towards the conquest count. The top-tier white-level recipe, 'Hidden Dragon in the Abyss,' has dropped."

"Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: Top-tier white recipe, slightly enhances body flexibility, effective three times."

Oh! ?

Another unusual recipe has surfaced.

It came from a snake.

White, top-grade snow snake.

But what kind of snake is the snow snake?

Ling Chi lifted the tree branch and saw the round little white snake swallow it into its stomach. He scratched his head.

Don't take it too seriously; these are just rare and exotic creatures from the world of martial arts.

Ling Chi pulled the branch out of the snow snake's mouth to prevent it from having indigestion. The snow snake's stomach was now satisfied, and it seemed much more agreeable to Ling Chi, no longer spitting venom at him.

"Brother, you rest first, I'll go pick the snow lotus." Ling Chi squatted down and whispered to the snow snake, "You don't mind, do you?"

"Hiss~~~~~~~" Although it had turned into a sphere, upon hearing this, the snow snake struggled, opened its mouth wide and flicked its tongue, looking like it was saying, "If you dare to pick it, I'll shoot it all over your face."

A glint flashed in Ling Chi's eyes, he chuckled, and then disappeared from the spot.

"hiss????"

The snow snake stood upright, its head constantly turning.

Where is that person? Such a big person! How did they disappear?

……

Chef's Space, Farm.

As soon as Ling Chi appeared, Yi Lin, who was closest to him and pollinating the fruit trees with a calligraphy brush, beamed with joy: "Senior Brother Ling."

Ling Chi nodded with a smile: "Junior Sister Yilin, why are you here all alone?"

“Several seasonal fruits are ripe, and Chunxiang and Qiuxiang have gone to pick them.” Yilin smiled and said, “The fruit trees here are in full bloom and need to be pollinated. I was worried that the butterflies and bees would pollinate them unevenly, so I pollinated the flowers that hadn’t been pollinated before.”

Seeing the beads of sweat on Yilin's nose, Ling Chi gently wiped them away with his finger and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work at all." Yilin's face flushed slightly as she smiled. "I really enjoy my life now!"

Yilin is a girl who loves nature. She has a pure heart and is always happy to be with flowers, plants and trees.

She was truly delighted to have so many good friends by her side and to be able to see Ling Chi anytime.

"I'm glad you like it." Ling Chi gently stroked her high-piled hair, a hairstyle worn by married women in ancient times, indicating that she already had a husband.

Over the years, the two had already consummated their marriage, but Ling Chi had never given her a proper wedding.

Because Yilin didn't want to disrupt the existing harmony. She didn't want to upset Yue Lingshan, Qu Feiyan, or the eight maids, and she especially didn't want this change to ruin her relationships with everyone.

Water overflows when it's full, and the moon wanes after it's full. It's good enough that we can be together; asking for too much will only lead to more losses.

Yilin was such a woman who did not compete for anything.

It was precisely because of her lack of competitiveness that Ling Chi always felt a bit guilty and was willing to give more for her.

……

"Is it already evening by now?" Yi Lin looked at the sky, feeling that the timing seemed off. Ling Chi usually came in at night and rarely during the day.

“No,” Ling Chi said. “I met a very interesting little white snake outside and I’d like to recruit it.”

"A white snake?" Yilin exclaimed in surprise, "Can snakes be farmers?"

“All things have a spirit, whether living or evil, as long as they have enough wisdom, they can,” Ling Chi said.

"Wisdom?" Yilin grasped the key point in the question: "That little white snake, is it very intelligent?"

"Whether it has any innate wisdom or not, it can certainly understand human speech." Ling Chi chuckled and said, "I'll recruit it now, and you can get to know it first."

Yilin nodded.
