Temptation

They were curious why Young Master Du Bai would go to such great lengths to win over the three chefs.

Logically speaking, this raises many questions.

Chef Bao, Duanmu Ge, and Liu Shu all couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Upon hearing this, Du Bai was taken aback, not expecting the other party to ask such detailed questions.

But why not tell them?

"You really want to know?"

A chilling glint suddenly flashed in Du Bai's eyes as he asked.

"I want to... know..."

Chef Bao replied subconsciously, but a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

"I want to know!"

"Yes!"

Duanmu Ge and Liu Shu nodded, wanting to know more.

"I don't mind telling you!"

"However, if you listen to this, you must swear an oath with your Martial Soul to forever become my subordinates and follow me!"

"No refusal allowed!"

"Otherwise, you will only face death. There is no way you will leave Clear Wind Manor alive!"

"Now, you still want to know?"

Du Bai said coldly, as he released his Soul Douluo aura once again, putting immense pressure on the three chefs in front of him.

Upon hearing Du Bai's voice, the three chefs' expressions immediately turned cold.

Knowing the reason behind it, you must join the other side, or you will die!

This young man is really too domineering.

Suddenly, Chef Bao, Liu Shu, and Duanmu Ge felt like lambs had entered a wolf's den.

"Then I don't want to cooperate anymore, and I don't want to be a chef at the Clear Wind Manor anymore. Can I leave?"

Chef Bao asked tentatively.

At this moment, Chef Bao felt an unprecedented sense of unease, and he wanted to leave.

Go back to the 'Fulai Restaurant' in Heaven Dou City and continue being your own boss, wouldn't that be great?

"Okay! But you must leave one thing behind!"

Du Bai responded calmly.

"What is that?"

Chef Bao asked instinctively.

"A part of your body must remain in order to leave!"

"Consider this your compensation for taking up my time!"

Du Bai smiled a chilling smile and began to speak.

Du Bai planned to tease the three chefs, especially the timid Chef Bao.

Upon hearing this, the obese Chef Bao trembled with fear all over his body.

"Does this mean I can't leave here unscathed?"

"You're too domineering and too cruel!"

"I'm just here to talk business with you, you can't treat us like this!"

Chef Bao's fat face jiggled, looking somewhat ferocious, as he spoke.

Why not?

"This is my territory, I can do whatever I want!"

Du Bai revealed a playful smile, while once again releasing his powerful aura to intimidate the fat, pig-like Chef Bao.

Liu Shu and Duanmu Ge listened quietly from the side.

Both of them lacked Gold Soul Coin and cultivation resources.

If this Young Master Du can provide them with enough Gold Soul Coin and cultivation resources, and if his reasons for recruiting the three of them are reasonable, then it's not impossible for them to Du Bai.

Therefore, Duanmu Ge and Liu Shu listened quietly from the side and gleaned information from it.

Du Bai's words silenced Chef Bao, leaving him speechless.

At this moment, Chef Bao was carrying the pressure released by Du Bai. His face was gloomy, his head was down, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, Chef Bao raised his head again, a glint of light in his eyes.

Are you telling the truth?

"Can you leave as long as you leave behind just one part of your body?"

Are you sure?

Chef Bao asked again, and his eyes, which had been 'hopeful,' turned 'ferocious' and 'decisive'.

Du Bai didn't think much of it, simply nodded, and said calmly, "Yes."

"Okay, then you can't go back on your word!"

"My hair is a precious part of my body, so I'll leave it all to you!"

"I'm a dog if I lie!"

Chef Bao began to speak, pointing to his somewhat balding head as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Du Bai's lips twitched. "You're really something!"

Du Bai truly hadn't expected Chef Bao's outrageous move.

Is this something an adult male could think of and say?

Du Bai couldn't help but doubt Chef Bao's intelligence.

"Hmph!" Du Bai sneered. "Are you kidding me? I think you're tired of living!"

After Du Bai finished speaking, an even more terrifying pressure swept over Chef Bao.

The oppressive force was like a massive mountain pressing down on Chef Bao's spine, making him so uncomfortable that cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Now that you're here today, don't rush back!"

"Join my ranks, and I will provide you with ample resources to support your cultivation!"

"This is absolutely a major turning point in your lives, and I hope you don't miss it!"

Du Bai first cleared his throat and made a grand promise to everyone.

The three chefs were already impressed by Du Bai's powerful cultivation, and they were listening attentively to what he had to say.

"The main reason I want to recruit you all is to build my own power base!"

"Apart from that, I have no other ideas."

"You won't get the same treatment anywhere else as you do here!"

"Furthermore, as long as you remain loyal to me, I will not restrict your freedom, understand?"

Du Bai spoke again.

"I understand..."

"Understand..."

Duanmu Ge and Liu Shu responded with their heads down, like elementary school students receiving criticism.

Chef Bao, who was trapped in a shackle, quickly nodded to Du Bai, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Du Bai revealed a satisfied smile and removed most of the oppressive aura emanating from Chef Bao.

Chef Bao was thus relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If Duanmu Ge, a top-tier chef, becomes my subordinate, he can receive one million Gold Soul Coin every year!"

"If Chef Bao Danai, a second-class chef, becomes my subordinate, he can receive 500,000 Gold Soul Coin every year!"

"If Liu Shu, a Class C chef, becomes my subordinate, he can receive 200,000 Gold Soul Coin every year!"

"Of course, other chefs may join in the future. The higher your culinary skills, the more resources you can obtain, understand?"

"You will not leave today unless you join me!"

Du Bai spoke proudly.

Du Bai has already offered appropriate resources as compensation, and I believe that if the three of them aren't stupid, they will make their own judgment.

As expected, the three of them fell silent after Du Bai's words.

On closer inspection, becoming their subordinate is not a bad thing.

Especially for Duanmu Ge and Liu Shu, Du Bai would allow them to end their long period of wandering and have a stable place to continue their cultivation.

Chef Bao was secretly tempted as well.

Five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin, that's more than what Fulai Restaurant earns!

Good evening, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Wishing you all happiness and success!
