Chapter 406: Chapter 405: The Forbidden Dish (Part 1)
Xia Yu glanced up and down at Yuchuan Ayaka, who stood in front of the car door, without speaking.
Yuchuan Xin and his daughter Yuchuan Ayaka both seed uneasy.
“That is…” Yuchuan Xin chuckled awkwardly, “Chef Xia, according to the terms of the culinary competition, Ayaka is now your…”
As he spoke, the House Chief of the Yuchuan family couldn’t help but inwardly criticize the culinary competition contract he had set for his daughter.
Now, he had hoisted himself with his own petard, hadn’t he?
No matter how powerful the Yuchuan family was, they dared not arm-wrestle with the IGO International Gourt Organization.
Moreover, Yuchuan Xin had consulted Master Yizhen of the Shi Lin Temple the previous night.
The old monk had only one sentence to offer:
Accept the loss with grace.
Tasting the bitterness of defeat could lead one to walk farther.
Without the support of the Shi Lin Temple, Yuchuan Xin hastily called a eting at the main house right after the competition ended last night, and asked for Yuchuan Ayaka’s own opinion, which led to today’s appointnt.
“Co with .”
“I’ll find you a place to live first.”
Xia Yu waved his hand and led the father and daughter to a five-story apartnt building next door to his shop.
He had instructed the ‘City Life Planning Company’ by Feng Zhizi Yaeiko to design and refurbish this family hostel. The layout had not changed much, but the class had imdiately increased by several levels.
He pushed open the door to the courtyard.
Yuchuan Xin glanced at the garden. There was a row of flowers and plants in the corner of the wall, not far from there was the storage room with a tiled roof.
What’s worth noting was that the flower beds and potted plants had an artistic touch.
Father and daughter Yuchuan looked around.
Turning back to glance, Xia Yu saw the unease in Yuchuan Ayaka’s eyes gradually fade, and he couldn’t help but silently chuckle to himself. In the end, she was a female chef. When she fell from the clouds and her halo completely dissipated, her vulnerable side was exposed.
“Please co in—”
He opened the main entrance, and a spacious foyer and lobby appeared before the eyes of the Yuchuan family.
As it was a hostel, the lobby was spacious enough, and after being finely decorated, it beca even more imposing.
Xia Yu opened a drawer at the reception and took out a set of keys, then led the Yuchuans, who had removed their shoes, up to the second floor.
Second floor.
Room 201, Xia Yu opened the door.
“From now on, this will be your private room,” he said to Yuchuan Ayaka.
A small suite with one bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom.
This layout, placed in the bustling part of Neon Tokyo, was definitely top-notch residential environnt.
Soon.
Leaving Yuchuan Ayaka to settle in by herself, Xia Yu and Yuchuan Xin ca out of the apartnt building.
“I feel relieved now.”
Looking back at the apartnt building behind him, where the curtains on the second floor had already been opened, Yuchuan Xin saw his daughter organizing the closet and couldn’t help but nod, “Allowing her to leave the Yuchuan family, to leave Shi Lin Temple, and to live outside, will allow her to integrate into modern society.”
“Chef Xia, here’s a small eting gift, please accept it—”
Following that, Yuchuan Xin bowed at a ninety-degree angle, presenting a gleaming silver bank card with both hands.
Xia Yu was amused.
What Yuchuan Xin said sounded nice, but he was still afraid of his daughter suffering.
He could only accept it.
If he didn’t, Yuchuan Xin and the entire Yuchuan family would probably get restless, coming over every day to check and see if their princess was being mistreated.
As he sent Yuchuan Xin away, Xia Yu suddenly asked, “By the way, Mr. Yuchuan, I know your other daughter.”
The hand on the sliding door imdiately stiffened.
“You, you an isha?” asked Yuchuan Xin bitterly.
“Do you have a third daughter?”
Xia Yu shook his head, “I plan to call Sister isha over from Kamakura to help in my shop for a while, let the sisters try to get along.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you!”
Yuchuan Xin bowed once again.
After sending Yuchuan Xin away, Xia Yu returned to his shop.
With Yuchuan Ayaka’s arrival, Xia Yu could start implenting many plans.
With her skill level, it would be no problem for her to act as the main chef and cover for him at a branch. That way, Xia Yu could be a hands-off boss and find a piece of fertile land to properly cultivate the “Rainbow Tree”.
Especially after learning the previous night that Yuchuan Ayaka had actually brewed the rainbow cocktail ahead of him, Xia Yu was almost unable to control the wild horse in his heart that wanted to break free.
Fa Points, definitely enough.
Waking up from a deep slumber.
The Fa Points he had accrued had actually skyrocketed to over 200,000, and were still rising with growing attention.
Sitting down at the dining table in the shop.
Aside from counting Fa Points, there were also culinary skill levels and Talent Points.
“System: You have defeated a formidable enemy and successfully used a ‘sure-kill’ recipe in practice, cooking dishes of the corresponding level, personal culinary skill level lv36→lv40.”
“System: Recipe data for ‘Peacock Dance’ has been generated.”
Then, looking at the Talent Points on his body.
Xia Yu’s eyes went wide.
A full 24 points!
The Yuchuan Sisters contributed 20 points, and the remaining 4 points were a gift from the system for his culinary level increase.
Without hesitation, he allocated 20 points to the [Evolution·Bursting Fla] culinary skill, and the purple culinary technique imdiately reached full level, just one gold Evolution Crystal short of transforming into a gold fra.
Ascending from purple to gold naturally granted him the talent [Hyper Sense]!
Next, the dishes in his backpack.
“[Forbidden Qilin Level·Gemstone Banquet]: A dish prepared by an unparalleled Lin Chef, consumption would bring about unexpected bodily changes.”
“Note: The host may only consu one forbidden dish every 30 days.”
With a thought, a serving of Western-style pan-fried at appeared on the table.
The slices of at, similar to steak, were fried to dium-well.
The key was, this piece of at was too beautiful!
Xia Yu felt breathless and finally understood the aning of ‘Gem Feast.’
The at, shiny and shimring, and the inner at fiber structure looked as if viewed through a Crystal Ball.
Just one piece of at, no extra garnish, not even a sprig of herb, so clean, so simple.
Drifts of substantial aroma spread.
Gurgle!
His stomach churned, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and Xia Yu was suddenly overwheld with hunger, his eyes fixated on the plate of Western-style aromatic pan-fried gem at in front of him, his eyes reddening like a starving ghost who hadn’t eaten for days and nights.
The system thoughtfully provided a knife and fork.
Grasping the dining knife and fork, Xia Yu let out a surprised sound and couldn’t help but examine the utensils in his hands.
“Is this so fancy? Even the utensils look badass!”
That’s right.
The material was unclear, but it felt very nice.
Shaking his head, lured in again by the aroma, Xia Yu felt his thoughts controlled by hunger. He finally didn’t go berserk, restrained the inner beast, and cut the gem at on the plate into pieces.
Eat!
Eat, eat, eat!
The at lted in his mouth, it was practically jelly.
Xia Yu chewed with big bites, completely forgetting he was supposed to savor it finely, and by the ti he snapped back to his senses, in front of him was a shattered and slowly disintegrating white ceramic plate.
The knife and fork also disappeared from his hands.
“Ding, you have consud one Taboo Kirin-level Dish.”
A system notification popped up.
What the heck!!
Xia Yu stood up in shock, touching his belly, feeling nothing at all. Wasn’t it said the body would undergo incredible changes?
However, as soon as he stood up, Xia Yu felt sothing was off.
His head was a bit heavy.
As if he was carrying sothing on it.
He carefully took a step to the side, clack, sothing tripped over a stool, Xia Yu imdiately raised his hands in innocence.
He had not touched anything just now.
“Ah…”
A piercing scream.
Xia Yu turned around, just in ti to see Yuchuan Ayaka coming over from the neighboring apartnt.
The Yuchuan Family’s princess stood frozen at the door.
Her hands tightly covering her mouth, that look in her eyes as if she were staring at a monster, completely dumbfounded.
