Wang Xiaoling barged her way past the line, and any protests that could have been made had died when Fatty Xu saw her.
Sister Wang! Youre finally here! Fatty Xu lifted his skewer. I found Moon Rabbit at!
This might be your best one yet, Fatty Xu!
William and Lan Yang followed her slowly, ignoring the disgruntled looks given to them by the twenty-ish people waiting in line.
Why is Chef Yi cooking in a shack? William asked quietly. Shouldnt he be in one of those fancy restaurants?
Dont ask how his mind works, Lan Yang sounded bitter. The sect paid a fortune to draw him here, and Chef Yis condition was that he could cook whatever he wanted, wherever he wanted. This is what he chose.
A shack, William repeated blankly. He chose a shack to make the best dishes possible.
Apparently, Lan Yang frowned when Chef Yi spoke to Fatty Xu enthusiastically. They heard the specifics clearly when they reached the counter.
Brother Xu, how did you spice it without eroding the essence of the moon rabbit? I have tried the sa years ago before giving up!
Fatty Xu looked displeased that he had to speak to Chef Yi when Wang Xiaoling was present, but that didnt stop him from showing how he did it.
Watch closely, Fatty Xu used raw at that William guessed was Moon Rabbit. A reddish glow appeared on his fingers before it blurred. Fatty Xu was literally attacking the at, with a quickness that his eyes couldnt track.
He expected the rabbit at to be shredded at best, and erased from existence at worst. Neither happened. The at looked untouched to the naked eye.
After that, add the spices you want before cooking, Fatty Xu pinched a bit of red powder and sprinkled it around the at. They were imdiately absorbed as if it was never added. Never do it after its cooked. That will ruin the essence.
Amazing! Chef Yi exclaid. Brother Xu, your preparation technique is one-of-a-kind. I could barely keep up with your movents! You have an envious control over your Qi! How long did it take you to create the technique?
It took a while, Fatty Xu admitted before looking at Wang Xiaoling. Sister Wang, are you ready to eat?
William ignored Lan Yang, who was moving to join them, and narrowed his eyes at Chef Yi. He wasnt able to see Fatty Xus movents at all. He looked at the chef's basic status.
[Na: ? | Level: ?]
The guards were at the nascent soul stage, which William could easily accept due to the unique circumstances. But a chef being at the sa level was hard to swallow.
Perhaps Lan Yang saying Chef Yi was the closest thing to an immortal chef should have clued him in, but that was stretching it. He was coming across cultivators in the nascent soul level far too much. Werent they supposed to be rare?
In the back of Williams mind, he was aware that the question marks in the basic status could also an that Chef Yi was at a realm even higher than nascent soul, but that was so slim that he didnt really consider it.
After all, it was highly doubtful that a spirit severing realm cultivator would lower themselves to cook for low-level cultivators.
Stolen novel; please report.
Oh good, youre here, Fatty Xu interrupted his existential crisis.
? William pointed at himself, noticing that Wang Xiaoling was already digging into her skewer without hesitation.
Who else? I said I would give you a good al. Here it is, Fatty Xu offered a skewer with bits of cooked at on it. A kebab, basically, but one that was making him gulp down the saliva building in from the delicious scent.
Alright, stop right there! It was fine for one person to cut in front of us, but now we have to let these two do the sa? I dont think so! They either get in line, or youll lose our business!
William blinked in surprise, having forgotten that this was an open food stall and custors were waiting to order.
I do apologize, but they already had their orders placed well in advance. Li Jie played the part of a service worker well, but the large man, who was the only one complaining, wasnt satisfied.
I dont care!
At this point, William wondered why the man was bold enough to cause trouble when high-level cultivators were keeping close watch. He let the system show him the basic status.
[Na: Wei Si | Level: ?]
Core formation realm. The last na suggested that the man was from the Wei clan, but it wasn't confird.
Do you know who I am? I already had to wait for fifteen minutes like a peasant! It is already humiliating to eat food prepared in a stall!
Scratch that. After that I am very important speech, it was highly likely the man was from the Wei clan.
Then leave, Fatty Xu said without care. The food I make isnt fit for soone like you.
Wei Si blustered briefly before sneering at them and turning around. Fine! All of you, dont give this place your Qi Stones. Ill treat you to sothing much better! Co with .
William took the offered skewer from Fatty Xu and munched a bit of at as he watched the show. That failed imdiately since his eyes almost rolled into the back of his head as he let out an embarrassingly loud moan.
And that brat is mocking ! Wei Si roared. Give tha
He was vaguely aware of the rage targeted at him, but he was happy to ignore it as he absorbed the taste of the rabbit at. However, the sound of choked protests forced him to take his attention off the most delicious food he had the pleasure of tasting.
Wei Si was a few feet away, a aty arm extended over Williams head, hard wrapped around the previously raging mans neck. It wasnt a gentle grip. Wei Sis eyes bulged in panic as he clawed at the hand choking him, making it clear how bad it was.
I dont care for your yapping, but you crossed a line by trying to harm Sister Wangs friend, Fatty Xu still sounded bored, but sohow that made it more nacing. Let show you out.
William ducked to avoid Wei Sis legs as Fatty Xu pulled the man closer. He protected his precious kebab and moved to stand next to Wang Xiaoling, just in ti to see Wei Si get treated like a javelin.
He watched with wide eyes as Fatty Xu strolled a few feet away from the stall, hoisted Wei Si over his shoulder, cocked his arm back, and launched the man with a slight grunt.
With Wei Sis fading scream in the background, Fatty Xu stared at the others in line. Any more complaints?
There was a unified shake of heads, and while they looked disturbed at what just happened, none left because of it.
Good, Fatty Xu nodded before returning to stall and frowned at William. Is it not to your liking?
He was still gaping at Wei Sis increasingly smaller form, wondering if the man had just been killed because of his frustration over a few extra minutes of waiting. Still, he took another bite of the delicious rabbit at on the skewer.
After swallowing, William licked his lips and said, Its so good!
Fatty Xu grunted and returned to the stove to make more with Chef Yi nearby to observe every movent. He didnt miss that Chef Yi seed utterly uninterested in interacting with anyone else.
That was fine with William. He quickly finished the three other pieces of rabbit at, hoping to get more afterward.
[ 10 Agility]
[ 5 Spirit]
[Spiritual Energy Capacity | 1055 > 1080]
The alerts surprised him, but he quickly put as much focus as possible when not cultivating to direct the newly added Qi to his Kidney ridian. There was no danger of the ridian rejecting the Qi since he was nowhere close to the maximum it could contain, so he wasnt worried.
William stared at the clean skewer after he was done with greed. Fatty Xus cooking gave him additional attribute points, and more importantly, he wasnt penalized with increased impurity.
Delicious, Brother Xu. You are a talent.
He looked up to see Lan Yang complenting Fatty Xu while holding a skewer of his own.
William needed more.
There should have been an increase in impurity. He could clearly rember Li Xinyue blocking him from easing too much in the Phoenixs Nest due to his body being unable to handle it.
It had to be due to Fatty Xus cooking that there was no impurity to worry about. William needed to find a way to keep him close by, which ant Wang Xiaoling was the one he had to convince.
