Settling the Dispute
"Is it so hard to admit you're not as good as others, you fat pig!"
Duanmu Ge snorted coldly and retorted.
Duanmu Ge's expression was cold, and she stared at Chef Bao with Bingbing gaze.
Chef Bao was filled with rage, like a burning ember, glaring angrily at Duanmu Ge!
The two immediately appeared to be irreconcilable enemies.
Du Bai felt that if he hadn't been there, the two chefs, one thin and one fat, would probably have gotten into a fight.
Meanwhile, the dwarf chef Liu Shu hid to the side to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the argument between the two.
Du Bai had heard that Chef Bao and Duanmu Ge had a bad relationship.
Du Bai didn't care at the time.
The fact that the two of them have such conflicting tempers is truly beyond Du Bai's expectations.
"You skinny bastard, who are you calling a fat pig? You malnourished skinny monkey!"
Chef Bao immediately retorted angrily, treating Du Bai as no outsider at all, and started cursing.
Duanmu Ge naturally wouldn't tolerate this alone and immediately retaliated with a barrage of insults.
However, before Duanmu Ge could speak, he was interrupted by Du Bai.
"Enough!"
"You two, stop right there!"
Du Bai spoke Bingbing.
As he spoke, Du Bai also released the oppressive aura of his Soul Douluo cultivation.
As the heavy pressure poured out, Duanmu Ge and Chef Bao immediately felt as if a massive mountain was pressing down on them, and they were speechless as they tried their best to resist the overwhelming pressure.
The dwarf chef Liu Shu, who had remained silent throughout, was also swept up by Du Bai's overwhelming pressure. His face was contorted with rage as he desperately tried to resist.
Immediately, the entire hall fell silent.
At this moment, Chef Bao, Duanmu Ge, and Liu Shu realized how terrifying this young man was.
Before Du Bai unleashed his cultivation pressure, they thought Du Bai was just a rich young master!
You must understand that this is the Soul Master World, where might makes right; money alone cannot earn the respect of Soul Master.
That's why Chef Bao and Duanmu Ge dared to openly argue in front of Du Bai.
In their view, if two enemies meet and get angry and have a fight, and offend Du Bai because of it, they can simply walk away and say, "I'm done with this," and it's not a big deal.
However, Du Bai's formidable strength instantly filled the three of them with awe.
They also realized the seriousness of the problem!
If you offend a powerful Soul Master, at best you'll be splattered with blood on the spot and lose your life; at worst you'll be left lying dead for miles around, a truly gruesome sight!
"Soul Douluo?"
The Duanmu Ge, who was resisting, had not only awe on its face, but also solemnity.
He had originally planned to work as a chef for a few days, enjoy the Five Hundred Year Brine, and then sneak away, but now he has changed his mind.
It would be a huge loss to offend a Soul Douluo expert just because you ran away!
Chef Bao felt a chill run down his spine. He had originally planned to let the Young Master Du, who was barely out of hair, taste his food.
Use delicious food to awaken his taste buds, and then talk business with him.
If the deal falls through, Chef Bao has no intention of staying at the Clear Wind Manor and will simply walk away to take over his own restaurant in Heaven Dou City.
But now, in Chef Bao's view, he suddenly seems to have no leverage left to negotiate with Du Bai...
Suddenly, Chef Bao felt like a fat pig willingly walking into a wolf's den...
Meanwhile, the dwarf chef Liu Shu really wanted to become a chef at the Clear Wind Manor and earn a fortune in Gold Soul Coin!
Therefore, the expression on Chef Liu Shu made Duanmu Ge and Chef Bao look much more normal.
Just as Duanmu Ge and Chef Bao were lost in thought, Du Bai continued to speak.
"To be honest, your cooking skills are about the same!"
"However, Duanmu Ge's Martial Soul 'fire' is clearly more advantageous in cooking, and has more room for growth!"
"At the same time, there is another reason, and that is that Duanmu Ge has the highest cultivation level!"
"This means he can obtain more high-grade ingredients in the dangerous Soul Beast Forest!"
"That's why I rated Duanmu Ge as a first-class chef and you, Bao Danai, as a second-class chef!"
Do you understand?
"If you understand, nod and stop arguing, and I'll withdraw my pressure!"
Du Bai spoke, his tone no longer as gentle as before.
Duanmu Ge and Chef Bao realized how formidable the young man was and dared not argue any further.
Moreover, according to the selection criteria mentioned by Du Bai, there is indeed nothing wrong with them.
Therefore, Duanmu Ge and Chef Bao both nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood.
Seeing this, Du Bai began to withdraw his oppressive aura.
As soon as the oppressive aura dissipated, Chef Bao, Duanmu Ge, and Liu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and took deep breaths to make themselves feel comfortable.
However, they controlled their breathing, not daring to breathe too rapidly, for fear of offending their young lord.
"Young Master Du, your selection criteria are correct, but I still have something to say!"
Chef Bao, panting, boldly spoke again.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Du Bai raised an eyebrow and his face darkened instantly.
"Speak."
However, Du Bai still democratically allowed him to speak.
Of course, if he can't give a clear explanation, Du Bai will make Chef Bao suffer a bit!
"This Duanmu Ge has already reached the level of a level 50 Soul King!"
"And I'm only a level 43 Soul Ancestor!"
"My cultivation level is so low, yet my cooking skills are on par with his. If we are at the same level, then it can be deduced that my cooking skills are more superb than Duanmu Ge's!"
"Therefore, Duanmu Ge's cooking skills are not much better than mine. This first-class chef award should have been given to me!"
Chef Bao shared his thoughts.
Although Chef Bao did argue about the top prize, his tone and voice were noticeably less sharp!
Duanmu Ge stood to the side, looking hesitant to speak. He was afraid of offending Du Bai, so he remained silent.
After listening to Chef Bao's explanation, Du Bai felt that it made some sense.
However, Du Bai felt that he was not wrong either.
You're right.
"However, once your cultivation level improves and your culinary skills surpass Duanmu Ge's, I will naturally re-evaluate you as a first-class chef of the Clear Wind Manor!"
Du Bai spoke up, and his words immediately shut down Chef Bao.
"This"
"All right."
Although Chef Bao was still unconvinced, he stopped arguing about the rankings.
That's the end of the matter.
Du Bai looked at the three chefs in front of him and immediately felt a headache coming on.
Subconsciously, Du Bai felt that the fat and thin chefs were likely to cause trouble, and he just hoped they wouldn't do anything outrageous.
"Next, I have a question for you!"
"That's why you're participating in this cooking competition, and why you want to become chefs at my Clear Wind Manor!"
Du Bai asked in a serious tone.
Goodnight, everyone!
Good evening, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling day! May everything go smoothly for you!
