754: Suspected of having a system protagonist

Shishen Restaurant, whether in Wanxing City or even across the entire Origin Continent, was a dominant force.

If Shishen Restaurant dared to claim second place, no one would dare to claim first.

The reason was simple: every Shishen Restaurant had a Dao Chef presiding over it.

Furthermore, the patriarch who founded Shishen Restaurant was a Dao Monarch-level mighty figure, and a God of Cookery who had achieved Dao through the Great Dao of Food, with the delicacies he cooked containing endless good fortune.

According to rumors, the delicacies made by the God of Cookery could allow one to directly ascend to the Celestial Realm, and even Celestials who ate them could increase their chances of breakthrough.

When Gu Qing heard this, he didn't believe it: "Xiao Hong, isn't this a bit too exaggerated? If just making a random dish could allow one to break through to the Celestial Realm, wouldn't Celestials be everywhere?"

"Young Master, you misunderstand. I'm not talking about ordinary dishes."

"Even Celestial Pills refined by Celestials can allow people to break through to the Celestial Realm. If it's a Dao Monarch, seasoning with the Great Dao laws and cooking a Chaotic Origin Beast, eating it is like consuming a Celestial Dao Fruit."

"Besides, who among those who can break through to Saint Completion is a mediocre person? All they lack is an opportunity."

Xiao Hong said with a smile.

"Seasoning with the Great Dao laws?"

Gu Qing was astonished.

Could laws be used to cook?

"If laws can be used to refine pills, why can't they be used to cook? Laws can not only be used to cook but also to brew wine."

"...Then, are there also God of Wine Restaurants in this world?"

"Yes, there are."

"However, neither celestial dishes nor celestial wines are something ordinary people can hope for; they only sell to those with predestined connections."

Xiao Hong sighed with emotion.

It was well known that breaking through to the Celestial Realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven, but there were indeed ladders to heaven in the world. However, for them, it remained an existence that could be seen but not reached.

Since ancient times, countless mighty figures had attempted to ascend to heaven in one go, but without exception, they were all blocked at the door.

So, taking one step at a time was the true path.

Xiao Hong's beautiful eyes swiveled, subtly glancing at Starry Sacred Mother and Gu Qing.

"These two great deities are also existences that can be seen but not reached. For me, Hong Hong, to meet these two great deities out for a stroll, I must be incredibly lucky. I need to cling tightly to both of their legs," Xiao Hong thought to herself, her beautiful eyes gleaming.

As long as she clung to their legs, ascending to heaven in one step would be just around the corner.

She led the two into a heaven-grade private room and presented the menu: "Young Master, Senior, what would you like to order? I am sworn sisters with Shishen Restaurant's Dao Chef, so asking her to cook shouldn't be difficult."

Dao Chefs, like Dao Alchemists, had twelve ranks and were equally difficult to invite; it wasn't something money alone could accomplish.

Even the God of Cookery required appointments in advance for his cooking.

"Just order some of the God of Cookery's home-style dishes," Starry Sacred Mother said.

"Alright, alright, Senior, please wait a moment!"

Xiao Hong wasn't at all surprised that Starry Sacred Mother would order home-style dishes.

Although the delicacies cooked by Dao Alchemists were high-grade, eating them could increase one's cultivation and potentially lead to enlightenment.

The taste was, of course, also excellent.

But compared to home-style dishes, it always lacked a certain flavor.

Since neither of them needed the Dao Chef's dishes to improve their cultivation, they naturally wanted to order something more flavorful.

Xiao Hong took out her communication jade and immediately pulled some strings to cut in line; otherwise, following the reservation queue, they would have to wait an incredibly long time.

After Xiao Hong made the arrangements and put away her communication jade, Gu Qing slowly spoke: "Xiao Hong, I heard that hysteria is contagious."

Gasp!

Xiao Hong's expression froze on her face.

Xiao Hong asked blankly: "Young Master, what... what did you say?"

"I heard that hysteria is contagious," Gu Qing repeated seriously.

Xiao Hong had completed her task; it was time for her to make a graceful exit.

He didn't want anyone to disturb his and Starry Sacred Mother's private world.

Starry Sacred Mother almost burst out laughing, struggling to hold back her amusement, and gently pinched her rebellious disciple's thigh with her slender hand.

"..."

Xiao Hong stumbled out of the private room, only catching her breath when she reached the back kitchen.

She gritted her teeth, grinding them audibly, wanting to curse loudly but not daring to.

That dog, Gu Qing, was truly too much of a dog.

She had never seen such a 'dog-like' person.

"Hong Hong! What's wrong?"

A woman dressed in white with a tall chef's hat walked over, asking with eyes full of confusion.

Just a moment ago, Xiao Hong had enthusiastically and excitedly sent her a message, urging her to come over and cook personally.

Now, why was she in the back kitchen with a 'man-eating' expression?

"Wuwuwu!"

"Shuang Shuang, Hong Hong is so aggrieved."

Xiao Hong threw herself into Ye Wushuang's domineering embrace, fake-crying.

Ye Wushuang's mouth twitched, her expression disdainful: "Then I'll just cancel your dishes and put them both on Shishen Restaurant's blacklist?"

"No, no, no!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong nearly lost her soul.

"Shuang Shuang, hurry and cook! You must use all your best skills. Whether Hong Hong can soar to great heights depends entirely on you, my sister, please, please."

"It seems their identities are extremely extraordinary," Ye Wushuang said, crossing her arms, which made her already proud chest rise to a new height.

She sneered: "Tell me, I want to see what their background truly is, that it's worth you doing all this?"

How could Xiao Hong dare to speak carelessly? She directly pushed Ye Wushuang to cook, saying all sorts of good things.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang also became serious... Gu Qing reached out and pulled his Master's slender waist, placing her on his lap.

"Rebellious disciple!!!"

Starry Sacred Mother was greatly alarmed, her beautiful eyes wide with panic, anxiously looking around.

"Quickly let go of this Master."

This was too frivolous; what if someone saw them... Starry Sacred Mother dared not think further.

Seeing this, Gu Qing became even more invigorated: "Master, you're already my Dao Companion, what's wrong with a hug...?"

Starry Sacred Mother covered his mouth: "I will always be your Master, and only then your Dao Companion, but in front of outsiders, I can only be your Master."

"Alright!"

Gu Qing no longer dwelled on it. With Master's blessing, the attack speed experience was better.

He changed the subject: "Master, do you know the founder of Shishen Restaurant?"

"I do."

At the mention of the God of Cookery, Starry Sacred Mother's expression became somewhat displeased: "His delicacies are indeed unparalleled in the world, but he is too arrogant and relies on his talent, which is a flaw."

"Oh!"

Gu Qing had asked casually, not expecting Starry Sacred Mother to react so strongly.

To make Starry Sacred Mother so repulsed, it seemed this God of Cookery was a bit different.

Gu Qing buried his head in her long, swan-like neck and asked curiously: "How arrogant is he?"

Starry Sacred Mother struggled for a moment, unable to break free. Resigned, she said softly, blushing: "Actually, being arrogant about one's talent isn't much; many prodigies have their own pride, it's irrelevant."

"But this God of Cookery is different. Relying on his unparalleled culinary skills, he deliberately set many bizarre rules, making diners serve their own dishes and wash their own bowls..."

Actually, other things were fine; after all, it was just a transaction, and if one couldn't accept it, they simply wouldn't eat.

But the rule that made her wash the dishes and chopsticks was something she couldn't accept.

It could easily be solved by hiring a servant or casting a small spell, yet he insisted they do it themselves, forbidding the use of magic, and they even had to put them away properly after washing.

They paid an exorbitant price to eat, yet they were still expected to do manual labor. Where was the logic in that?

Wasn't this deliberately humiliating people?

Starry Sacred Mother's biggest regret was that out of momentary curiosity, she had waited in line for several hundred years. She did get to eat the delicacies, and her cultivation increased somewhat, but she also ended up with a belly full of frustration.

If she couldn't beat him, she would have killed the God of Cookery long ago.

The more Gu Qing listened, the more he felt that this God of Cookery resembled a protagonist with a God of Cookery system.

"What is his cultivation level?"

"Unclear. He appears like a mortal, but he can easily defeat Dao Monarchs," Starry Sacred Mother replied.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing felt that the God of Cookery was even more like a protagonist, but when he heard that the other party could easily defeat Dao Monarchs, Gu Qing immediately gave up the idea.

He couldn't afford to provoke him, so it was better not to.

"Alright, disciple, let go of Master, someone's coming."
