74 Master, Please Accept Your Disciples Respect! (1/2)

At this time, Wang Lu hadn’t realized that he was walking into the Misty Peak Cafeteria, since he was completely engrossed in the swordsmanship deduction. In his mind, there were quite many people, each one of them held a sword and performed a different set of sword art, and some of them fought each other with various amount of wins and loses. As an observer, Wang Lu learned from their performance and extracted valuable experience.

Wang Lu himself had just discovered this ability not so long ago… Perhaps it was because of the Non-Phase Sword Bone, especially since the appearance of that single piece of Emperor Bone, or perhaps since he started absorbing surrounding spiritual energy, resulting in the initial condensation of his Primordial Spirit, that his IQ was effectively enhanced… In short, since he has the ability, he might as well use it. Wasn’t this also a part of the great wisdom?

When Wang Lu was on the fifteenth iteration of deducting the fight between Recline Corpse Sword Art and Loose Style Sword Art, when he was immersing himself in the newly discovered flaw of the Loose Style Sword Art… his body suddenly jolted. Someone had violently shook him, bursting that mysterious realm of deduction.

“F*ck! Who is it!?” he inwardly cursed.

Wang Lu returned to the real world with an indignant face. He then found himself sitting in the Misty Peak Cafeteria, and a petite blonde girl full of heroic spirit was staring at him with her dark green eyes.

“Excuse me, may I have your order?”

Wang Lu looked around a bit and found out that he was the only patron. He inwardly cursed, thinking that he inadvertently burst into the “dragon pond, tiger den” [1].

There were four big restricted areas in the Spirit Sword Mountain: Sect Leader’s Abode, Pink House, Sword Tomb, and… the promoting-new-dishes Misty Peak Cafeteria.

It was suicidal to enter each of those area, especial the last one… Inwardly, Wang Lu silently sang an elegy for himself; he then resolutely said, “Bring me everything new that you got!”

In swordsmanship cultivation, the single most important point was to have a vigor that could not be swept away just like the sharpness of the sword! “You! I don’t care if you have the thirteen or a million fish heads looking up at the starry sky, but you’ve made me angry… Just wait! I, your father, will eat you today!”

Hearing Wang Lu’s request, the somewhat unhappy look on that maiden chef suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a pleasantly surprised smile. “Very good! Today, I just launched a new dish inspired from my faraway hometown which used lake as the main theme. It has a very memorable value!”

“Damn! I, your father, am not from your hometown; why would I want your memorable nonsense!”

“In short, please rest assured. This dish will definitely surprise you!” After making that powerful statement, without saying anything else, the blonde girl turned around and briskly walked back to the kitchen, preparing to take that lake-themed new dish.

A moment later, Wang Lu subconsciously returned to the meditative state, and began deducing the swordsmanship again. At this time, the blond girl plodded out of the kitchen holding a very large porcelain pot relative to her stature. She then firmly placed it on the table with a self-satisfied look appeared on her face.

“Try it. Have faith in me!”

Wang Lu apprehensively looked at that giant porcelain pot which was filled with dark green soup. It has a strange smell and, occasionally, bubbles of air would burst on its surface… Floating in the middle was what appeared to be a very suspicious meat ball. No matter what, it was hard to feel at ease!

Wang Lu cautiously probed. “Dare I ask, is this… Lake Monster?”

The girl frowned. “No, it’s the lake elf.”

“... Don’t you think the shape of this elf is quite strange?”

The girl continued to frown. “Is it?... Why don’t you just eat it, it’s not good to eat if it gets cold.”

“No, I am sure this thing should be frozen to absolute zero first before it’s anywhere near edible!” Wang Lu inwardly exclaimed.

However, Wang Lu gathered his courage and took a spoonful of that soup. To his surprise, the soup didn’t taste so bad! Although it was far from tasty, and could not be compared to Lady Boss’s dish at the Ru Family Inn, it actually could be compared to the craft of a simple farm girl. Nevertheless... this was a considerable progress compared to her “look up at the starry sky” and other dishes.

After repeatedly confirming that his taste bud didn’t betray him, Wang Lu very straightforwardly gave the soup a thumbs up. The young girl’s smile immediately bloomed; so wide was her smile that it almost completely covered the horror of that green soup on the table.

“Thank you for your appreciation. I will continue to try to live up to my customer’s expectation!”

After that, this young chef cheerfully went back to the kitchen to do the other dishes while Wang Lu continued to drink a few spoonfuls of that lake elf. Because the taste wasn’t giving him enough stimulation, Wang Lu quickly wallowed in the swordsmanship deduction.

After several moments, Wang Lu ended his swordsmanship deduction and turned his attention back to the reality. However, he found out that the green-eyed girl was already standing before him. On the table were several dishes, but all of them had already cooled down. As for Wang Lu, he found himself holding a spoon and chopsticks, yet he didn’t move at all.

“Alas, it’s still not good enough...”

The girl very sadly sighed, quietly acknowledging her failure. For a proud person, this was a very difficult thing to say.

Looking at the girl so disappointed like that, to the point where he could feel her pain, Wang Lu thought that he had inadvertently played with the girl’s heart. Which, according to the sect’s regulation, seemed like he was guilty of lewd behavior? Although it was an inadvertent act, but a professional adventurer ought to accept the consequences for his action—since he played with her mind, then he will be responsible for fixing it.

“Actually, I was just distracted.”

The girl firmly nodded in agreement. “I can understand that… A clever warrior will use distraction as a way to alleviate the pain. And to have brought so much pain to you, I am truly at fault here. Sure enough… I really have no talent.”

“Wait a minute, girl, you misunderstood. Actually, it’s like this…”

Wang Lu began to confess that since he struggled in the swordsmanship cultivation, he became distracted all day long trying to solve his problem—this was a relatively easy way to win other people’s trust.

After he had finished baring his problem, he found out that the girl was looking at him in surprise.

“You know swordsmanship!?”
