B2 - Chapter 41

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 meat!

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 me 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 same 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 meat that William guessed was Moon Rabbit. A reddish glow appeared on his fingers before it blurred. Fatty Xu was literally attacking the meat, with a quickness that his eyes couldnt track.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

He expected the rabbit meat to be shredded at best, and erased from existence at worst. Neither happened. The meat 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 meat. They were immediately absorbed as if it was never added. Never do it after its cooked. That will ruin the essence.

Amazing! Chef Yi exclaimed. Brother Xu, your preparation technique is one-of-a-kind. I could barely keep up with your movements! 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 movements at all. He looked at the chef's basic status.

[Name: ? | 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 same 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 mean that Chef Yi was at a realm even higher than nascent soul, but that was so slim that he didnt really consider it.

I dont care for your yapping, but you crossed a line by trying to harm Sister Wangs friend, Fatty Xu still sounded bored, but somehow that made it more menacing. Let me 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 time 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 meat 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 movement. He didnt miss that Chef Yi seemed utterly uninterested in interacting with anyone else.

That was fine with William. He quickly finished the three other pieces of rabbit meat, 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 Meridian. There was no danger of the meridian 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 complementing Fatty Xu while holding a skewer of his own.

William needed more.

There should have been an increase in impurity. He could clearly remember 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 meant Wang Xiaoling was the one he had to convince.
