”C-Culinary O-Overlord?” Heng Wu swallowed a mouthful of his saliva as he swerved his head to threw the other party with an agitated and emotional look.
Gulp!
What is an overlord?
Those were existences that stood at the apex of all, ruling and dominating with their sheer power alone! And in the field of culinary, an overlord would meant that this Duan Li was someone who knew everything there was to know about food, ingredients, preparation and its method of cooking!
Experts from the caliber of these seven Saints Chefs would never make a single mistake in their judgement, but for these very same eccentric individuals to be defeated and kneeling in awe like that while looking at the other party in astonishment, there was no mistaking it, they had all acknowledged Duan Li as the Culinary Overlord!
For the second time since the very first Ancestor or the original founder of the Seven Saints Culinary restaurant foundation, another Culinary Overlord was born!
The others that were currently looking at them from behind did not managed to heard anything, thus they were still confused with the whole situation.
Fei Liquan on the other hand, could not help but ponder upon seeing this entire scene, ”Was he so bad in food decryption technique that all the seven Saints Chefs fell on their knees and bottoms like that? Or could they possibly fell down in sheer anger because the other party had just cursed all their ancestors down to their very predecessors?” he thought as he cupped his chin.
Whatever.
”Alright, I can see that he is bad in food decryption, but give him some face! Everyone's reaction is too exagerated and he might cry over this!” Fei Liquan said in a frown.
”Furthermore, its my turn now, so hurry up because its getting late, or my father would scold me again!” he added.
When the seven Saints Chefs heard this, they were still under the effects of being dumbstrucked by Duan Li and didn't know how to deal with the current situation. Thus, they turned to look at Heng Wu.
Ahem!
”Well, since it has been the long-lasting tradition that food decryption battle should be carried out until the end, let us just continue.. even though the winner has already been decided, we had to stick with the procedure after all..” Heng Wu said awkwardly towards the Saints Chefs.
The seven Saints Chefs all nodded to each other before standing up.
Indeed, what the other party just said was correct! As the most reputable restaurant in the whole Jiu Empire, they must have the absolute integrity in everything they do, or they might lose some recognition!
”Heh! Don't embarrass me like that, let's just get on with it. And you, Duan Li or something, just prepare yourself and don't sulk over this later on okay? The result is only natural you know? Heheh!” Fei Liquan said while not forgetting to 'remind' Duan Li of the 'inevitable' outcome.
Duan Li chuckled, ”Its fine, I am okay with it, so just go.”
With a proud look, Fei Liquan stepped forward and as soon as he approached the seven Saints Chefs, the spiritual Qi barrier encompassed them within, just like Duan Li before.
Wengg!!
...
Shen Lu then swiftly ran towards Duan Li and nudged the latter by the ribs, ”Hey brother! What did you do back then for all the seven Saints Chefs to be kneeling in front of you like that?”
Duan Li smiled somewhat in a sinister manner, ”Ehh, It's nothing much.. I just listed all the ingredients within the food that I ate, the exact proportions used, and the method to prepare as well as how to cook them.” Duan Li answered casually.
HUH??
Hearing this, his party broke out into a loud clamor.
”What? You meant that you cleared all 3 stages of the food decryption? And not just listing the ingredients out, you also listed how they were made?” Guo He repeated Duan Li's words with widened eyes, his breath hastened.
I know a little bit about food decryption.. and the process should be the same as pill decryption..
But if the Lord could do the same thing with pills as he did with food.. wouldn't he be able to decrypt that mysterious pill that my family has passed down onto me before?
Decrypting it word by word..
”Yup. Oh! And by the way, I also decrypted everyone's food before while I was at it. This way, we don't have to pay anything at all tonight!” Duan Li continued.
EH?
”We are eating for free?!!” they shouted all at the same time with their eyes shining.
Wang Xiolun whom was mostly silent all these while found that a little bit weird, so he inquiried, ”How did you do that my Lord?”
The others also nodded at this, feeling extremely curious as to how their Lord did it, because Duan Li had never tried their food before, so how could he even decrypt those?
'Was decrypting food without eating them even possible?' they thought with an agitated and excited look.
Realizing this, Duan Li swiftly came up with an excuse.
”Well, let's just say that my nose is quite sensitive..” he answered with an awkward laugh.
After all, he couldn't possibly reveal them his cheating abilities, or they might throw him a fit!
'Your nose is quite sensitive? Are you a dog?' Shen Murong did not believe him, and he knew that Duan Li did not want to disclose such a well-guarded secret so easily.
Sneaking a glance towards his mother whom was currently just sitting leisurely, he saw his mother also looking at him at this moment, giving him a wide grin with a thumbs up.
'As expected of my son!' was what seemed to be conveyed behind that face of her's, which made Duan Li quite happy.
Of all people, only perhaps his mother knew everything about him and his abilities, and that was why she was so confident in him.
...
Wengg!!
Fei Liquan walked towards them with big strides, his hands behind his back, and his face revealing a proud smile, the kind of expression that hinted he had nailed it big time!
”The food decryption was a little bit tougher this time around, but in the end against my godlike capabilities, I still managed to decrypt the Premium Grapevine Fruit Icecream up untill the second stage!” he said.
Oh?
'This fellow is at least legitimately good in this field.. unfortunately for him, I have my own abilities that lets me cheat!' Duan Li chuckled while feeling a genuine respect for the other party as well as pity at the same time.
Just from the results of the tetra soul sense that he got, he knew that all those listed ingredients were blended in so perfectly at the right ratio such that it was almost impossible to tell them apart!
Therefore, from this, Duan Li could tell that this Fei Liquan was actually really talented!
”Unfortunately, the Horned-bull Flying Sheep dish was far too difficult! I only managed to decrypt the first stage, and even then, I had used up all three chances!” Fei Liquan shook his head in lamentation, and Duan Li also nodded upon this, agreeing with him.
He saw the results of the scan of this dish as well, and all the ingredients used were made to eliminate the taste of each other in order to bring out the taste of the tenderloin meat to its pinnacle!
With such food preparation, unless one was really gifted by the Heavens, they wouldn't be able to tell any differences at all!
