Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

"Go ahead and beat me up!" Lin Zhu obediently lay down on the bed, cooperating perfectly.

This was something You Ruo hadn't expected.

But before she could make a move, Huang Rong arrived first, saying, "I'll teach you to help her, I'll teach you to help her, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death."

The little fists pounded gently, like a back massage, soft and comfortable.

"A little higher, a little harder," Lin Zhu said, somewhat enjoying himself.

"Aaaaah, I'll bite you to death!" Huang Rong exclaimed in exasperation.

"Go, get down here right now!" Lin Zhu reached out, about to pull Huang Rong down.

Huang Rong didn't actually use her full strength, and Lin Zhu felt very flustered.

"What weird stuff are you two doing?" You Ruo looked at the two of them, feeling completely bewildered.

Zhang San Niang came in and pulled Huang Rong away, saying, "Let's go, hurry up and cook."

"Ahhh, you're all bullying me!" Huang Rong struggled weakly for a moment before being dragged away.

You Ruo looked at them strangely, "What's going on?"

Song Tian'er raised her hand and said, "Brother Lin Zhu is such a man, Rong'er likes him." Then she ran off after him.

"A man? Is it real?" You Ruo was somewhat skeptical.

"Really," Lin Zhu said. "They all know, and I've emphasized it many times before. Aren't you going to fight or not? If you're not going to fight, I'm leaving."

He was speechless at the chat group system; why did hiding achievements result in beating him up?

"Sigh!" he sighed, feeling utterly frustrated.

The expected slap did not fall.

"He really is a man, but why is he more beautiful than me?" You Ruo asked, puzzled.

This woman is too much.

"Don't move, let me take another look."

Lin Zhu was very depressed.

You Ruo then realized something was amiss, turned her head, and pretended nothing had happened, "What's the big deal? I'll just make you pay it back, you're so stingy!"

"I'll fight you to the death." Lin Zhu got up, pressed You Ruo down on the bed, and then reached out to tickle her armpits.

"No!" You Ruo laughed loudly, struggling, "Don't tickle me, I'm scared."

The sounds of their playful banter carried outside.

Lin Shiyin asked, "Won't someone die?"

"No, it won't happen until ten months from now if anyone dies," said Li Ji, who had been through it all.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." You Ruo laughed until she was exhausted.

Lin Zhu raised her hands high above her head and asked, "Where did you learn all this?"

"I read it in a book!" You Ruo struggled slightly, freeing her hands, and then straightened her clothes.

"Get out of here! This isn't something you should be listening to." Li Ji quickly pulled the women away. What kind of indecent words were these!

"The book about fighting was taken away by Mei Jian, who said it couldn't be read," You Ruo said, looking like she hadn't had enough.

"Good job!" Lin Zhu knew what kind of book it was and thought it was a good find!

You Ruo's eyes lit up. "Hehe! You've seen it too, haven't you?"

Lin Zhu could only conclude that the girl had been imprisoned by Xiong Ba and was completely ignorant, which explained why she acted so naturally.

"Alright, I'll repay the favor. Go ahead and fight. Let's go eat after we're done." Lin Zhu lay back down on the bed.

You Ruo didn't cause any trouble this time, and the process went smoothly.

"It's so simple! I thought it would be much more complicated!" She looked at the space that had doubled in size and felt extremely pleased.

"Let's go, you're getting a good deal but still acting innocent." Lin Zhu opened the door.

You Ruo's eyes darted around, and she leaped onto his back, then bit his ear and mumbled, "It's delicious!"

Zhang San Niang walked towards them, and there was another one here. "You get down here too, you're not learning good things!" She grabbed You Ruo and pulled her down from behind Lin Zhu.

The women looked at the three of them strangely, wondering why they couldn't fight. They then looked at Lin Zhu's ears, swallowed hard, and made a gulping sound.

Surrounded by enemies, Zhang Sanniang felt that she could no longer hold the line and desperately needed reinforcements.

She kicked Lin Zhu and said, "What's the point of being so good-looking?"

You Ruo said, "If he's ugly, I'll beat him to death."

The farce has come to an end.

When it was time to eat, Lin Zhu and a group of beautiful women, including the four sword servants, ate in the courtyard.

In the main courtyard, Brother Gou was Paoding's kitchen helper. During the cooking process, he kept praising Paoding's skills, which made Paoding very happy.

He immediately taught him his most treasured skills.

Dog Brother learned it in no time and said happily, "So that's how it shines! I got it, Master Butcher, you're amazing!"

"You're amazing too, you learn everything so quickly. If you were my age, your cooking skills would definitely surpass mine." Butcher Ding patted Dog Brother on the shoulder.

The two of them carried plates of food and placed them on the table.

Dog looked around and said, "I'll go call Brother Lin over for dinner."

"You should rest!" Lu Xiaofeng pushed him down. "Brother Lin is having a good time right now, don't bother him."

"Brother Lin needs to eat too! I even learned how to make a luminous dish from Master Chef Ding, it's delicious."

Dog Brother wanted to share it with Lin Zhu.

Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng worked together to subdue him again. "Your Brother Lin is eating right now. If you disturb him, he'll get angry."

Hearing that Lin Zhu would be angry, Brother Gou thought about it and decided not to insist on going.

There are quite a lot of people here in Linzhu; there aren't enough to fit everyone on one table.

He looked at them, and they looked at him; they were a feast for the eyes.

Lin Zhu asked, "Who advanced today? We went out of the city with Master Zhang to learn martial arts before, so we didn't see the results."

Chapter 121 Prizes of the God of Cookery Competition

“I know that, let me tell you.” Huang Rong seemed to have forgotten about being spanked by You Ruo and said with great interest, “Master Abe’s son was the first to advance. Master Paoding said that he didn’t have any culinary ethics, so he used his trump card. There are very, very few ingredients that can fuse with spiritual energy, and many people don’t have enough.”

Song Tian'er also had a strong desire to share, "The chef at Lingnan Yangquan Restaurant is also very skilled. He also made a dish that shines, but it was just four buns, and he immediately won over the judges."

The two of them spoke one sentence at a time, and Lin Zhu learned the results of the preliminary round from them.

Four people advanced from the East District: Gou Ge, Zhang Dongguan from Lujia Cuisine, Dong Xiaowan from Dongjia Embroidery Shop, and Tang Sanjie from Songjiang Longzhen Restaurant.

The four who advanced from the west are Li Yan, Shi Weixian, Diao Buyu from Longmen Inn, and Gong Tingfeng, the cook and constable.

Four people advanced from the south: Shi Zhuxiang, the county magistrate who was a cook; Xu Ke, a cook; Xiang En; and Shao An.

Of the four who advanced from the north, all but Cao Shaoqin were imperial chefs.

Four people advanced from the southeast: Zhou Jidi from Yangquan Restaurant, Shi Difeng from Zhou Tang Restaurant, Long Kunbao from Zhonghua Restaurant, and Lan Feihong.

Four people from the Southwest advanced: Liu Maoxing from Juxialou, Liu Yiyi from Shishenju, the Third Pig King, and Zhang Fei, one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu.

Four players from Northeast China advanced: Paoding, Jia Bingbing, Lu Gen (the "Noodle King"), and Han Batian (the "Dongjiang Restaurant").

The four people who advanced from the Northwest were all imperial chefs from the Qin King's palace.

In the Northwest region, the people mainly eat wheat-based foods, which are very simple, making it difficult for famous chefs to emerge. The imperial chefs of the Qin Palace are a more obvious example of this.

In other regions, apart from the three imperial chefs of the Zhou Dynasty in the due north, all the famous chefs came from the common people.

Huang Rong asked, "Do you know what the prize is for the winner of this competition?"

"What?" Lin Zhu asked, both curious and amused. "You're not going to tell me about some kind of magical kitchen utensil, are you?!"

"How did you know?" Huang Rong was very surprised; she had heard it from the butcher.

It was precisely because of these eight magical kitchen utensils that Tianji Tower was able to join forces with Shishen Tower to gather so many chefs to come to the capital.

The winner of the competition will receive one of the magical kitchen utensils, and another competition will be held next March after the spring examination.

Including this one, there will be a total of seven events, during which all eight pieces of kitchenware will be given away.

In other words, these chefs had to stay in the capital for three years.

It's highly likely that many of these renowned chefs will settle permanently in Beijing.

"It really is true!" Lin Zhu felt a little incredulous. Those kitchen utensils were comparable to some ordinary divine weapons, yet they were more attractive to a chef than divine weapons.

But it's not necessarily incredibly precious; it's just a bit magical.

Huang Rong continued, "Master Chef Ding said that ingredients processed with these kitchen utensils can more easily integrate with spiritual energy, and the resulting dishes become spiritual cuisine."

"So all dishes made with these kitchen utensils will glow?" Lin Zhu realized that he had oversimplified things. No wonder so many famous chefs came to compete for them.

It should be noted that to infuse ingredients with spiritual energy, one must use one's own power as a guide, which is very demanding and requires high-quality ingredients.

"Isn't it amazing!" Huang Rong said, "But it's nothing special. These kitchen utensils are just icing on the cake. If I reach the pinnacle, I can make quite a few spiritual dishes without these utensils."

"Heh, you?" You Ruo retorted, "You haven't even reached the Grandmaster level yet. By the time you reach the pinnacle, you'll be at least sixty."

"Hmph, I'm only fifteen, three years younger than you, and my talent is better than yours." Huang Rong said with a proud look.

"Are you more talented than me?" You Ruo retorted.

“Otherwise what!” Huang Rong looked at her. “Just tell me what level you reached when you were fifteen.”

“I wasn’t even a member of that group when I was fifteen,” You Ruo retorted.

“But your father is Xiong Ba, how powerful he is, at the pinnacle!” Huang Rong said.

The two argued back and forth, and Huang Rong, unable to win the fight, tried to gain the upper hand verbally.

You Ruo is bad with words, so I just want to hit her.

Lin Zhu said, "Why don't you two sleep together tonight? It'll be a good opportunity for you to get closer."
