After I arrived at my mansion, I go to the kitchen and look around. 'Hmm. Nobody is here.' I thought and then 'Growl~~' I felt my stomach rumbling and I enter the kitchen and search for garlic, shallots, eggs, salt, cooked rice, pepper, leeks and chili. I take out a rabbit demon beast meat, a wok and handmade frying pan. I minced the garlic, shallot, and chili, and diced the meat as I waited for the wok to heat up. After the wok heat up, I put the meat inside the wok and sprinkled some salt. As the meat started to turn brown, I put the garlic, shallot and chili together until it started to get fragrant. After it started to get fragrant, I can feel some prying eyes on the door, but I ignored them as I continue to put the rice in and started to mix the ingredients in the wok. I put some salt, and pepper and mix them for the last time before I put it on the plate. I put the egg on a bowl and start beating it. After I beat it, I filter it before I put it on the frying pan and mixes it. After it is almost cooked, I flipped the egg into a perfect oval shape and put it on the top of the fried rice and then I use a knife and sliced the eggs, resulting the 'fried oval egg' open up and covering the fried rice. (Imagine chef Motokichi's Omurice)
After I am done, the door suddenly opened as the maid and the elders barged in and observe the dish I made. "Hmm. this dish look extraordinary! We have never seen any cooking like this in Glory City!" The first elder said in astonishment. "Yes. And the smell is also good that my mouth is watering, wondering how it will taste ! Who would have thought that young master could cook!" said the second elder, which resulting him getting smacked by all people. " Ahem. I am hungry, so I will eat first before I cook again !" I said, which resulted the elders and maid to celebrate happily. After I finished my meal, I cooked them the omurice and they stared with astonishment. " Such a great performance and impact this dish possess ! The moment the egg is sliced, the egg covers the rice and produce fragrance rises and make someone to be rendered unable to resist it !" the maid said with astonishment. "Hmm.. The taste is really good!! This is definitely the best dish that I ever have!" the first elder and third elder said while stuffing their mouth with the omurice. After thinking for a while, I asked if it is okay if I start a restaurant, which resulted in the agreement if everyone that is present. I cough and said " Shouldn't we discuss this with the patriarch first?" Hearing this, the elders directly ask me to follow them to the main family house to discuss the matter with the patriarch.
At the main family house, I meet the patriarch and the elder start talking about the omurice that I cooked. After hearing this, the patriarch seems unhappy, but accept the idea. " Before that, let me try some of this so called omurice." the patriarch said. After that, I take out the omurice from my interspatial ring and let the patriarch have it. When the patriarch take a bite of the omurice, he shows a satisfaction face, and then he agree to open a restaurant. " Father, since I need your help to open the restaurant, I think we should divide the profits fairly, so how about father having 60 percent of the profits, while I take 40 percent?" After pondering for a while, the patriarch agreed to the term and I also added " Father, don't you think it is strange for a restaurant to only serve one kind of a dish?" Hearing this, the patriarch and the three elders mood went down, but I tell them that I have another recipes, their eyes suddenly lit up and I write the menu. The menu that I write down are foods unique in Glory City, because what I write down are Japanese cuisine and Italian cuisine, the price of the food is also well balanced, so not only nobles and aristocrats can enjoy the food, but the minor family are also able to eat here. There are also term of breakfast set, lunch set, dinner set, and kid's meal. After I write those, the patriarch asked me to cook all the menu I write. I can only sigh as I cook and serve the dishes. The foods are too many for us, so the patriarch invited the family member to have dinner together, which resulted them become satisfied and wondering who the cook that prepared such a feast for them before they left. I am staying at the main house tonight because tomorrow, the patriarch and I am going out to look at our future restaurant's location.
The next day, the patriarch and I am strolling in the town to search for the location to build the restaurant which is arranged by the city lord 😓. As the patriarch is looking at the area, I asked the patriarch whether it is possible to make it into a 3 stories building, which is answered instantly with a yes. I planned to make the first floor as the dining hall, second floor as kitchen and third floor as the apartment for employee or citizen. After we finished with the building interior, we started to discuss about the restaurant name which is simple since it is the property of Divine Family, we decided to give it Divine Restaurant as it's name. It will take about 4 months to finish the building the restaurant, so I decided to continue cultivating, while the patriarch went back to the main house.
The sun has set and as I am on my way back to the mansion, I feel that there are people following me. From the aura, it doesn't feel like the three elders, so I conclude that there are people trying to do me harm. I grinned as I thought finally I have a chance to use my weapon and face a human.
After walking for half an hour, I turn into an alley and I start to gather information about my enemies. I scan my surrounding using my soul force and the result is there are 4 Silver Ranked Fighter, 4 Silver Ranked Demon Spiritualist and 3 Gold Ranked Fighter and a Gold Ranked Demon Spiritualist. 'Looks like the elders are having holiday or probably having a day off, since the enemies dare to approach me and followed me for 30 minutes, and not wiped out yet.' I sigh.
" Why bother hiding! Show yourselves !" I shouted.
...
"Not answering? Don't blame me for being impolite then!" I snorted as I take out my cloak and katana, and donned them. After a while, the 4 Silver Ranked Fighter comes out and search for me.
I then get behind the Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist and knock him out using my katana's handle. After getting hit by my katana and passed out, I tied him and seal his meridian and acupoints to avoid him escaping.
After securing the Gold Demon Spiritualist, I take off and keep my cloak and appeared behind one of the Silver Ranked Fighter and knock him out. Surprised by my appearance, one of the Silver Ranked Fighter uses a Scarlet SunBurst Inscription to create fire surrounding me while laughing victoriously.
"Pfft. This kind of inscription is used to boil water! Why are you using this on me ?" I said as I casually walked through the flame while laughing, making the scroll user stared with confused expression and getting angry, since his best inscription is being ridiculed by a brat. He unsheated his sword and the other two also unsheated their sword and tried to attack me on three different direction.
I keep my katana and took out my kusarigama. Noticing the strange weapon, the took a step backward. I swing the chain and caught two silver ranked Fighter, while the sickle is headed towards one of the Gold Ranked Fighter hiding beside the end of the alley. The Gold Ranked Fighter being careless, get stab by the sickle and started to bleed and becoming somewhat weak.
The other Gold Ranked Fighter noticed that his friend is stabbed by the sickle and bleeding nonstop, get mad and charged toward me. I just swing the chain and the chain tied his legs making him trip and fall to the ground. After falling to the ground, I uses the sickle to cut his tendons and rendered him unable to move.
"No way !! He is just at most a Silver Ranked, yet he could deal with 2 Gold Ranked Fighters easily, and pinpoint their location." The Silver Ranked Demon Spiritualist A said as cold sweat is forming on his head.
" Should we escape?" asked the Silver Ranked Demon Spiritualist B.
"You can try 😉" I said between them as I wink, resulting them losing their foot standing as I used Invidia to freeze their body.
After I tied them and line them up, I asked the Gold Ranked Demon Spiritualist. "Now, tell me who send you guys!". "Hmph. don't get cocky brat. You are lucky to capture me while I am careless!" said the Gold Ranked Demon Spiritualist.
"So, you are refusing to answer my question. 😊" I said as I smile "Well then, I think this time I can try my new inscription on you then !" I continued with evil smile.
"What are you planning to do! Leave me alone!" shrieked the Gold Ranked Demon Spiritualist as I grabbed his hair and drag him into a room.
After I am inside the room with the Gold Ranked Demon Spiritualist, I started to make an absolute obedience inscription array on his body. After the array is drawn perfectly on his body, it started to disappear leaning a crest on his back. I cut my finger making shallow wound to apply my blood on his crest.
After I draw a circle on the crest using my blood, the mark started to glow and electrocuted him a little and lose his consciousness. I untied him, and after he regains his consciousness, he kneels before me and said " Good night young master Chen!"
"En. So, what is your name, you and your friend's faction and your purpose on trying to ambush me ?" I asked
" My name is Shen Bing, I am a Gold Ranked Demon Spiritualist from the Sacred Family, and also a member of the dark guild. The other guys are also member of Dark Guild. Deacon Yun Hua wanted us to avenge our member that you poisoned."
...
I am speechless. To shamelessly accuse me because his assassination attempt failed. After this, I asked him to stay still and I proceed with the other. I applied absolute obedience inscription array on their body and brush my blood on the mark and made them obedient to me.
After a few minutes of questions, I realize that these guys are actually newly recruited because when I asked about their base's whereabout, they answered that it is located at Star Restaurant. When I heard Star Restaurant is the base, I can just sigh because I know the fact that their headquarter is in the Nether Realm.
*Sigh " Alright then, return to Yun Hua and if he asked you guys about me, tell him that 'Sorry deacon Yun Hua, we didn't expect Chen LingJian will be as slippery as mudskipper and he manages to reach his mansion before we could ambush him, but we heard that three years later he will visit a ruin when he is having a conversation with his friend. Do forgive us for our incompetence!' understand?" I asked.
They nodded and then they bid farewell to me. I also use my cloak to go back to my mansion and continue cultivating and reached 1 star Black Gold Rank. I consolidate my cultivation and prepare for integrating with the two demon beasts tomorrow.
