Chapter 604: Blacksmith in the Godly Path Realm (1/2)

After Krune returned to his new restaurant, he helped Nina and Jilin to set up everything. He also bought a few new things he was going to use from now one. Soon, they started the preparation of some of the food. A few dishes in Krune's restaurant needed more than just a day to be ready, so he had to have them done before it opened next week.

He also took his time to teach Nina and Jilin about the food. It turned out that Jilin is also the type who loves food, so Krune quite liked the young man. As for Nina's cultivation, Krune helped her one last time with her Soul Forging Realm breakthrough. After that, he told her that she would be on her own.

Nina already surpassed the level she would be if she hasn't got her Dantian destroyed in the past. Krune felt that with this, she would be able to take the next steps on her own. Of course, if she had doubts about cultivation, Krune wouldn't mind talking to her about it. But resources support like Godly Stones would not come from his pocket anymore.

Krune saw how Nina got sad when she heard that. However, the reason for her sadness was completely different from what Krune thought. During the time she was cultivating, she had more opportunities to stay close to him and talk about other things. But now she would need to leave the restaurant every time it closed just like everyone else.

That also confirmed that Krune really had never seen her as a possible love relationship option, and she was right. In Krune's eyes, there was none else other than Feifei. He made that clear quite a few times when someone asked about his wife.

The others' couldn't be blamed for asking. After all, Krune had been their boss for over three years. Still, they had never seen or heard his wife even once. Another reason for the questions was that other than Krune, the rest of the people could see Nina's feeling as clear as day. They couldn't help but want to help her too. Even her brother felt quite helpless about Krune's ignorance.

Two days later, Krune finally held the interview with all the candidates for his restaurant. Of the fifteen that came, only six remained. Two entered the kitchen with him while the rest was left to Bai to take care of.

Finally, Krune went outside and took his restaurant's board from his Spatial Ring. He placed it high above the entrance. After coming down, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. His rainbow restaurant had been going for quite some time already.

The week quickly passed, and soon people noticed the new board. Krune already could cook Semi-Divinity Star meals, so Demon Beasts in human form also began to take notice of it. When Krune's restaurant finally opened for the first time, there were already quite a few customers waiting outside.

As mentioned before, Spiritual Chefs are rare. As long as a free restaurant with one appears, it is bound to receive a lot of customers. Just like in Immai City, Krune had to create a waiting list for the next few days or weeks.

Others also noticed that the chef of the restaurant was a member of the Sky Shifting Sect, so a few disciples also stopped by. Krune came to get acquainted with them, which helped a lot in the sect. One special guest was Tulike. That guy loved to jump ahead the queue saying that he was Krune's friend. Krune, of course, felt quite helpless with that behavior. Still, since he had joined the sect at the same time as him, he didn't care too much and allowed him to eat first. It was just one single dishe between the several he made at the same time, so it wouldn't change much anyway.

Finally, one month went by, and Krune decided to change the opening schedule. He wanted to practice his Blacksmith Skills, so he wouldn't be able to take care of the restaurant simultaneously. He gathered all the employees after the closure and told them the news.

”Alright. The restaurant will now operate for a week and stay closed for another. I have many things to do in the Sky Shifting Sect that got delayed due to the new restaurant. But you don't need to worry. Your income will not change. If anything, you will get a lot of free time.”

Nina and the others were surprised to hear that. But since Krune already made his decision, they wouldn't go against it. The only problem was that they wouldn't get any tips during the days off.

Nina pondered a bit before asking.

”Master. Would it be okay if Bai and I open the restaurant during the time you are in the sect? The only Spiritual Food ingredients that Jilin and I can use are at the Soul Forging Realm level. Nevertheless, they are still Spiritual Food. That would help us a lot with our Spiritual Chef training too. All we need to do is leave a notice saying that you would be a week in and another out. The customers during the time you are out will decrease a lot, but it would still be good for us. Bai and the other attendants could also get their tips as always.”
