Level Max Villainous Second Female Lead, Just Wants to Slack Off CHAPTER 26
Chapter 26: Slacking Off Day 26
Chef Wang looked at Wen Ying, his hand slowly falling from his mouth.
“I’m sorry!” He suddenly threw himself to the ground, kneeling before Wen Ying and the other two, almost weeping. “Please, please don’t let them say it’s bad, okay!”
Chef Wang had thought that after breaking through to the Wu-rank in Culinary Cultivation a few days ago, he was an unparalleled existence on the entire continent.
Yet now, this seemingly ordinary girl, a disciple of the Xunxian Sect, could make him insult his own cooking to such an extent. It was conceivable how high her Culinary Cultivation rank must be!
Culinary Cultivation was already rare on the continent, and Fu Shuangxue knew nothing about “Culinary Battles.”
She didn’t know what Senior Sister Wen had done to make Chef Wang evaluate his dishes so poorly.
Or perhaps Chef Wang’s dishes were truly awful, so awful that even he couldn’t bear them, which led him to say such things?
Judging from the reactions of the disciples in the dining hall, this was not impossible…
Regardless, thanks to Senior Sister Wen for remembering to bring the food.
Although Senior Sister Wen claimed to have come here only to see what the chef looked like, it now seemed she was also here for the soul-seduction technique.
Compared to herself, Senior Sister Wen was clearly more thoughtful and better prepared.
Fu Shuangxue felt inferior and even more grateful to Wen Ying.
Perhaps, his previous impressions of Senior Sister Wen, like the matter of the ferocious beast, were all misunderstandings…
Wen Ying: “…”
No, she just simply didn’t want to litter; she had nowhere to put the leftover food…
“Okay,” Fu Shuangxue nodded, replying to Chef Wang. “Then as I said before, you’ll remove the spell from Tongtong, and I’ll persuade them to say less about it being bad.”
“Yes!” Chef Wang dared not haggle, hurriedly nodding and standing up. “I’ll do it right away, I’ll do it right away!”
With that, Chef Wang walked to Xu Tongtong.
He gathered his energy in his palm, and after examining Xu Tongtong, he couldn’t help but look troubled.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Shuangxue naturally noticed Chef Wang’s unusual expression, and her voice was somewhat tense.
How could Chef Wang not be troubled!
The girl before him had intelligence below the threshold of an intermediate cultivator; she was simply impossible to be under his soul-seduction technique…
He really wanted to just get away with it; deceiving the man and woman would be easy, but if he wanted to deceive the expert beside them…
Chef Wang glanced at Wen Ying from the corner of his eye.
The expert certainly knew that the girl wasn’t under a spell! Yet she was still here, but what was her intention…?
Regarding the removal of the spell from Xu Tongtong, Wen Ying felt somewhat sympathetic towards Chef Wang.
Wen Ying nodded slightly.
With Wen Ying’s permission, Chef Wang’s expression immediately relaxed.
“It’s nothing, nothing.” Chef Wang casually cast a calming spell in front of Xu Tongtong, and after withdrawing his hand, he said, “Okay, the spell is removed.”
Fu Shuangxue kept watching Xu Tongtong, and after Chef Wang removed the spell, Fu Shuangxue felt that her eyes seemed to have been completely renewed, finally putting her mind at ease.
“Thank you, Chef Wang.” Fu Shuangxue bowed to Chef Wang again. “I’ll try my best about the ‘bad’ issue.”
With that, Fu Shuangxue took Xu Tongtong and left the kitchen.
For Wen Ying, a new character had been unlocked, and new terms like Culinary Cultivation and Culinary Battles were roughly understood. Even the food she’d been carrying all this time now had a place to be disposed of, so she also prepared to leave the kitchen.
However…
She took a step, but didn’t move.
Turning around, she saw that her thigh was firmly grasped by Chef Wang.
“Senior!” Chef Wang returned to his previous posture of prostrating himself on the ground. “Senior, please help me! Please help me!”
Now that his use of the soul-seduction technique in the food to deceive the disciples had been discovered, Chef Wang was confident that the Xunxian Sect wouldn’t drive him away, but the soul-seduction technique could definitely no longer be used. If this continued…with the disciples constantly saying his cooking was awful, wouldn’t his cultivation be completely ruined!
“Why wouldn’t the Xunxian Sect drive you away?” Wen Ying wanted to kick Chef Wang away, but after hearing his thoughts, she became interested.
“Senior…you…can hear my thoughts?” Chef Wang raised his head, his eyes full of admiration.
Wen Ying looked at Chef Wang at her feet: “…”
This was truly a special feeling.
A girl had a thin man hugging her leg, and that man was calling the girl “Senior.”
It wasn’t quite as annoying as being hugged by Xiao Hei, but the strangeness was even greater.
“…Am I that old?” Wen Ying understood how Xiao Hei felt when he called her “Grandma.”
“Then, how should I address…you?” Chef Wang humbly asked.
“Chef Wang, why don’t you stand up first?” Wen Ying said helplessly.
Chef Wang quickly got up, bowing deeply to Wen Ying: “No, no, no, how can you call me that? Just call me Xiao Wang, or my name, Gou Dan is fine!”
Wang Gou Dan…
This name was even worse than the generic “Lan Xiaoming”…
“Ahem.” Wen Ying cleared her throat. “Xiao Wang, you haven’t answered my question yet.”
“Oh, right, right!” Wang Gou Dan hurriedly nodded and bowed. “That’s because, as you know, the things we Culinary Cultivators make help improve spiritual power. Whether it tastes good or not doesn’t affect the effect. A Wu-rank Culinary Cultivator like me is extremely rare on the continent, so Sect Master Xu wouldn’t drive me away for that…Of course, compared to you, a Culinary Cultivation master, I’m just a hair, no, not even a hair…”
So that’s how it was.
Good taste was just a bonus for improving cultivation; no wonder all the elders were so obsessed with a few melon seeds.
Someone like Wang Gou Dan, who took shortcuts but didn’t harm anyone. If you didn’t consider Wang Gou Dan’s creations as “food,” but simply as “medicine,” it was arguably acceptable.
“You’re truly a Culinary Cultivation expert, you even have mind-reading skills!” Wang Gou Dan gave a thumbs-up, starting to flatter. “Look at you, you’re so beautiful, your beauty-preserving techniques are also masterful, not only are your skills superb, you must also be kind-hearted…”
It seemed that Wang Gou Dan had mistaken her for an old person maintaining a youthful appearance through beauty-preserving techniques.
Fine, in a way, she had been reincarnated more than fifty times, so she was indeed different from her outward age.
“So, how do you want me to help you?” Wen Ying raised an eyebrow.
Seeing as he was quite pleasant to listen to, and it was a brand new storyline, it was worth listening to.
“Senior, please…accept me as your disciple!” Wang Gou Dan suddenly bowed his head, bowing almost 180 degrees. “Please teach me how to cook!”
Looking at Wang Gou Dan’s almost perfect forward bend, Wen Ying only felt that this Chef Wang Gou Dan’s body was incredibly flexible.
Author’s Note:
Mine is the kind that’s not very flexible at all. Forget touching my toes to the ground; my fingers can only reach halfway down my shins…
