Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Now that the battle was over, Xu Que and the Mysterious Clan went to the palace to relax.
Hero Li Bai and Madam Ya were sitting in a carriage, chatting. From their conversation, Xu Que had learned that there were five men from the Sea Tribe who had come to the Imperial City, including the two men that he had just killed. One of these men always wore red and seemed to be the leader of the group.
Madam Ya explained that a few days ago these men came to the Imperial City and threatened the guards by flaunting their cultivation levels–they were all at the Infant Transformation Stage. They were demanding to see the head of the city.
When Madam Ya got wind of this, she was shocked. Before she went out to meet them, she sent some guards who were in the Infant Transformation Stage to the Duke’s home near the entrance of the city. That way, she would have someone to protect her if these young men tried to hurt her.
With her emergency measures in place, she hurried to the entrance of the city to meet with them. When she saw the five young men, they looked very gentleman-like. However, they were extremely arrogant, especially the man in red. He had told Madam ya to have a one night stand with each of them.
This made her furious. She immediately asked them to leave. She was afraid they would protest, but to her surprise, the men just smiled and left. However, they continued to stay in the Imperial City.
This morning, they sent a maid to tell Madam Ya that they were giving her one last chance to agree to sleep with them. Right after the maid delivered this message, another servant informed her that Hero Li Bai had returned. Shortly after hearing this message, she went out to meet Li Bai.
“I thought those young men were just some rich kids who had famous families. I never thought they could have belonged to the Sea Tribe,” Madam Ya said gently. She happily leaned on Hero Li Bai’s shoulder as she spoke.
“Don’t worry,” the Thunder Illusion Body said, smiling gently. “They are indeed powerful, but they are also perfect raw material for seafood cuisine!”
“As long as you are with me, I will not be afraid,” Madam Ya said, hugging him tightly.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que was resting on a bed in one of the many bedrooms of the palace. While his Thunder Illusion Body was happily chatting with Madam Ya, Xu Que was rather worried.
After today’s battle, Xu Que came to an understanding about these members of the Sea Tribe.
All of these members of the Sea Tribe were in the Infant Transformation stage. However, these cultivators from overseas were much more powerful than cultivators in the Five Nations who were at the same stage. These members of the Sea Tribe were especially powerful in regards to their bodies. Despite their incredible power, he could still defeat them. But could anyone else in the Five Nations defeat them?
If I leave here and head overseas, what if the Sea Tribe comes to the Five Nations again? I can’t possibly leave them alone.
“Fine! I shall kill the rest of the Sea Tribe members here before I leave!”
Although he felt like he could have used some help when he was fighting against the Pipi Shrimp earlier today, he would be able to kill the entire Sea Tribe in just one strike by using the Killer Sword or the Killer Book. He would even be able to kill someone in the Form Synthesis Stage with this strategy.
“Great! I shall search for the three men of the Sea Tribe tomorrow!”
Once I know where is their hometown is, I shall loot their house!
With this decision made, he got out of bed, bought a new human-skin mask from the System Store, and put it on. He then walked into palace kitchen, grabbed some beef and pork, picked up the portable stove, and carried it to the huge, square-shaped area outside of Madam Ya’s throne room.
Xu Que ordered the Guards to set up a dozen tables. It seemed that he wanted to hold a banquet to feed more than a hundred people.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were told that Xu Que had invited the G.o.d of Cookery to cook seafood cuisine for them. Many people came to the banquet. Madam Ya came, of course, and was accompanied by Hero Li Bai. Su Ling’er and Su Xiao Qi also came. However, before they sat down, they looked everywhere for Xu Que, but they couldn’t find him.
As people sat down, they were surprised when they saw nothing on the tables. They were also wondering why the stove was set up in front of them.
What is the G.o.d of Cookery planning?
“Is the G.o.d of Cookery going to cook the food right in front of us instead of in the kitchen?” Madam Ya asked Hero Li Bai.
“Yes! Watching the G.o.d of Cookery at work is like watching an artist paint! It is a wonderful experience,” Hero Li Bai smiled.
All of a sudden, a ray of light appeared over the stove. Then, a man with gray hair walked out and stood next to the stove. His eyes were full of melancholy and stories. If there had been another man from Earth here, he would have screamed, saying “Holy Sh*t! It’s Stephen Chow Sing Chi!”
Xu Que always liked to put on a good show. This time, he wore a mask that resembled Stephen Chow Sing Chi and a wig of gray hair. He also behaved exactly like Stephen Chow Sing Chi. It was as if he had always been a professional actor.
“Good evening, everyone! I am an actor…no. I am the G.o.d of Cookery from the Exploding Heavens Faction. You call me Stephen Chow or just Master Star!”
The people gave him a warm welcome.
“Good evening! Master Star!”
“Good evening! Master Star!”
“I have been hearing about you all my life. It is really an honor for me to meet you in person today!”
Without a word, Xu Que nodded emotionlessly and took out the fresh Pipi Shrimp.
In one of Master Star’s movies, had made a dish called “Juicy Beef b.a.l.l.s,” which was made using shrimp and beef.
Seeing the Pipi Shrimp, everyone could not wait to taste it.
Are we really gonna to eat seafood tonight? This is wonderful!
Xu Que took out two pairs of Chinese cleavers and began to chop the shrimp meat.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
What is he doing? Do we really have to cut it to pieces?
Soon, he had turned the piece of shrimp meat into a paste. He stirred the paste then put it into a rectangular iron box. Then, he put the box into a pot to steam. He then took out a big piece of beef and began punching it.
“Holy Jesus! Is he mad? Why is he punching it so harshly?” b.u.t.tface shouted.
Everyone else was a bit confused as well.
He turned the shrimp into shrimp paste, and now he is punching the beef into pieces. Does he think we are too old to chew properly?
“I find this a bit funny!” someone said, forcing out a smile.
“Is he really the G.o.d of Cookery?”
“Look! The shrimp paste has gathered into one piece again!”
“He is shaping the beef into small meatb.a.l.l.s!”
“Well, since he is the cook invited by our Shaman Demon King, we shall treat him nicely with all the respect we can muster.”
“You are right! Even if his food tastes like sh*t, we shall eat it all.”
“The dead monkey has vanished again,” Su Xiao Qi frowned. “He invites a G.o.d of Cookery and then isn’t here to watch? I don’t believe it!”
“Stop talking nonsense,” Su Ling’er said, carefully examining the cook.
“Sister, don’t you think this might be another prank? He probably invited this so-called G.o.d of Cookery to cook some bad food for us so that he could enjoy some really delicious food somewhere else.”
Xu Que took out a big pot, put it on the stove, and filled it with water. As time went by, the water finally came to a boil. He put the beef b.a.l.l.s into the pot one by one and covered the pot with a lid.
No one made any sound. Everyone was focused on the pot.
After a while, the beef b.a.l.l.s were all cooked. Xu Que took away the lid and scooped out the beef b.a.l.l.s.
The people sniffed the air and became relieved.
“It seems very nice actually!”
“Yes! It smells very good. It’s very appetizing!”
“It seems that he is the real G.o.d of Cookery!”
Xu Que picked up a beef ball. He examined it carefully and threw it to the ground. The beef ball bounced back up into his hand. Xu Que threw the ball like this multiple times. It was as if he’d made a toy instead of food.

Everyone was shocked.
What on earth is he doing?
We have waited for this meal for so long! Are we going to have our meal or not?!
“Everyone, why don’t we cancel the banquet tonight and hold a ping-pong game instead?”
