Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

The scene was unsuitable for children. Ling Chi turned around and went dozens of meters away, stuffing popsicles into the mouths of the people he had almost beaten to death.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Fan Yao, a regular blue-level diner. Conquest count +0.01. A regular blue-level recipe, 'Bowl,' has been dropped."

"Begging Bowl: Common blue recipe, increases success rate of begging by 30%. Valid for three uses."

……

Everyone ate popsicles, but there was only one blue menu; everyone else had either a white "top-tier" or white "superior" menu. It wasn't perfect, but it was acceptable.

but……

Ling Chi glanced at Fan Yao, who was on the verge of death, and then at the effects of the recipe in the bowl. His expression was quite complicated.

Does this mean I'm going to join the Beggars' Sect?

He squatted down and patted Fan Yao's forehead: "Any last words?"

Fan Yao opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Ling Chi helped him sit up, placed his palm on his back, and channeled a stream of true energy into him.

Fan Yao's complexion looked much better; it seemed like she was experiencing a brief resurgence of energy before her death.

"You can speak now."

Fan Yao took a few quick breaths, looked at Ling Chi, her eyes filled with resentment: "Beep beep beep!"

Ling Chi's expression changed. He stopped channeling his inner energy and casually struck him with a palm, sending him to his death.

Damn it, he dared to utter censored words even on his deathbed; he truly deserved to die.

……

After delivering a final blow to everyone, and seeing that there was no one left alive in Green Willow Manor, Ling Chi turned and returned to Zhao Min's side.

By this time, Xiao Zhao and Yin Li had finished searching Zhao Min and found quite a few things on her body.

"Uncle Ling, this woman is hiding a lot of poison on her. She's really vicious." Yin Li has practiced the Thousand Spider Poison Hand since she was a child, and is extremely sensitive to poisons. She found about a dozen small porcelain bottles, all containing poisons and antidotes. If it weren't for her high immunity to poisons, she would have almost been caught off guard.

"Not entirely." Xiao Zhao held a small wooden box in her hand and said, "Father, there is a black ointment in this wooden box. It has a refreshing smell and seems to be a good medicine."

"Oh?"

Black ointment, with a refreshing scent... Could it be the Black Jade Broken Heart Ointment?

Ling Chi took it, opened it, looked at the color, and smelled the aroma. It did indeed match the description of the Black Jade Broken Heart Ointment.

Touching his chin, Ling Chi chuckled lightly: "It would be worthwhile to do Wudang a favor."

"???" Xiao Zhao and Yin Li looked puzzled.

"Nothing much." After putting away the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment, Ling Chi looked at the other items. Apart from the silver notes and some loose silver, there was nothing unusual.

Ling Chi counted the amount of the silver notes; it wasn't much, just over ten thousand taels of silver.

Confiscated.

Only then did Ling Chi take a good look at Zhao Min.

At this moment, Zhao Min had calmed down and was sitting in a chair with a cold expression, but her eyes kept flashing.

Ling Chi pulled a kitchen knife from his waist and brandished it at Zhao Min's neck: "How do you want to die?"

"..."

Zhao Min was so frightened that her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, her lips pressed tightly together, yet she kept shaking.

"Scared?" Ling Chi laughed.

"Don't...don't kill me." Despite her countless schemes and brilliant strategies, Zhao Min was powerless against overwhelming strength and could only beg for mercy through tears.

Ling Chi chuckled and said, "When you slaughtered the Han people, did you ever think of sparing them?"

Zhao Min was speechless and could only shed tears.

"..."

Ling Chi said calmly, "If you have nothing to say, then let's get going!"

"I...I am Princess Shaomin of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion!" Seeing Ling Chi about to raise his butcher's knife, Zhao Min cried out in panic, "I have no ill intentions towards you, I just want to cooperate with you, I just have many questions I want to ask you, I really have no ill intentions...Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me...Waaah...Don't...kill me..."

Zhao Min burst into tears; this was the first time in her life she had ever lost her composure like this.

In the face of death, all people are equal. Whether you are an emperor, a nobleman, or someone who is richer than a country, you are no different from an ordinary person in the face of death.

Faced with death, Zhao Min's mentality collapsed. She lost all her princess dignity and cried like a spoiled child.

"..."

Seeing her amusing reaction, Ling Chi said 'fiercely', "No, I'm going to kill you!"

"Waaaaah... No, don't kill me..."

"No, I'm going to kill you!"

"Waaaah... Please, don't kill me..."

"No, I must kill you!"

"Waaaaah... Mommy, Mommy, help me! I'll never be a picky eater again..."

"..."

What are you doing?

Seeing that Ling Chi seemed to have gotten hooked on teasing Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao and Yin Li were completely bewildered.

……

After traveling day and night for several days, Ling Chi returned to Peach Blossom Island with Xiao Zhao, Yin Li, and Zhao Min dressed as a maid.

Ling Chi was not a soft-hearted person; he couldn't possibly capture Zhao Min and then let her go. But after Zhao Min broke down in tears, he couldn't bear to kill her. After some thought, Zhao Min became his personal maid.

Besides traveling these past few days, Zhao Min has been learning from Xiao Zhao how to serve her master. After several days of training, Zhao Min has already begun to resemble a maid, at least outwardly, her submissive demeanor makes her look very much like a loyal maid to her master.

Ling Chi wasn't sure if Zhao Min had developed Stockholm syndrome due to a stress reaction after facing death. But in any case, he was satisfied with Zhao Min's current attitude.

A noble princess became his maid. Putting everything else aside, the sense of accomplishment she felt was indescribable.

It's just so awesome.

……

"Shuang'er, I'm back!" Ling Chi shouted as soon as he arrived on the island.

The sound, imbued with internal energy, echoed throughout Peach Blossom Island. Soon after, Shuang'er passed through the peach blossom formation and came out to greet them.

"Brother, Xiao Zhao, you're back!"

Ling Chi nodded with a smile, and Xiao Zhao immediately rushed over: "Auntie, I missed you so much!"

Shuang'er hugged Xiao Zhao, who was a head taller than her, with a helpless expression. Her gaze swept over Yin Li and Zhao Min, and she asked, "Who are these two young ladies?"

"This is Yin Li." Ling Chi patted Yin Li's head and said, "Do you still remember the little girl that Xiao Zhao's parents brought back then?"

Shuang'er thought for a moment and said, "Zhu'er?"

Ling Chi nodded with a smile: "It's her. Zhu'er, this is your Aunt Shuang'er."

"Hello, Aunt Shuang'er." Yin Li already knew that Ling Chi and Shuang'er had different physical conditions than ordinary people. Although she was very surprised at the time, she still found it amazing after seeing it now. However, she was mentally prepared and greeted Shuang'er with a very humble attitude.

"Alright, alright." Shuang'er smiled and said, "I didn't expect the little girl from back then to have grown up so much." She paused, then added, "But... what happened to your face?"

"We'll talk about this later," Ling Chi said. "It's almost noon, I'll go get some dishes, and we can talk while we eat."

Shuang'er nodded, looking at Zhao Min, who was incredibly beautiful despite being dressed as a maid, and asked, "Brother, is this your new maid?"

"Haha, the maid is real, but she wasn't bought." Ling Chi laughed.

Shuang'er: "???"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Inescapable Inevitability

"Young Master is back!"

"Hehe, young master, let me tell you, while you were away, Sister Little Tiger missed you so much that she dreamed of you and kept calling your name!"

"Ah!? Little bunny, you're bullying me again! I didn't!"

"Young master, young master, what good things did you bring back this time? Little Chicken Sister has been talking about it these past few days!"

"Nonsense, I didn't say that! It's clearly Sister Little Monkey who keeps talking about it."

"whee……"

"Young Master..."

"..."

Ling Chi thoroughly enjoyed the 'attack' from the maids; this was the kind of life he loved.

"..." Zhao Min watched all this silently, her eyelids lowered.

Shuang'er looked at her thoughtfully.

……

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. In these three months, too many major events have happened in the government and the public.

Princess Shaomin of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion led Yuan troops to annihilate the Ming Cult and the Six Major Sects, but the expedition was unsuccessful. Not only did they lose thousands of soldiers and dozens of experts, but Princess Shaomin also went missing.

The Prince of Ruyang was shocked and furious, and the Emperor Yuan was also enraged. He issued an edict to attack the Ming Cult and the Six Major Sects, declaring that if they did not hand over Princess Shaomin, they would be executed without a burial place!

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, the Ming Cult and the Six Major Sects decided to put aside their differences and form an alliance to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, the leader of the Ming Cult had been replaced by Zhang Wuji. Although Ling Chi's involvement caused him to lose his ability to turn the tide at Bright Peak, he had after all cultivated the Great Shift of the Universe and was the adopted son of the Golden-haired Lion King and the grandson of the White-browed Eagle King. Although the Ming Cult's higher-ups had different opinions, after an internal discussion, all the higher-ups reached a consensus and Zhang Wuji temporarily took over as the leader of the Ming Cult.

As Zhang Cuishan's son, Zhang Wuji naturally became the link between the Ming Cult and the six major sects. Zhang Wuji played a significant role in the eventual alliance with the six major sects.

Having enjoyed a period of prosperity in the Central Plains for nearly a century, the Yuan Dynasty had long lost its former wolf-like resilience. Faced with resistance led by the Ming Cult and the Six Major Sects, as well as the growing strength of the civilian rebels, the Yuan Dynasty gradually fell into turmoil and was in danger of being destroyed at any moment.

As war raged across the Central Plains, Peach Blossom Island also underwent a transformation.

Over three months, through Ling Chi's continuous efforts, she finally managed to remove the toxins from Yin Li's face using a recipe that combined detoxification, beauty enhancement, and skin nourishment, restoring her stunning appearance without affecting her cultivation of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

Whenever Yin Li looked in the mirror, she would become extremely excited, calling out "Uncle Ling, Uncle Ling" with increasing intimacy.
