Raiden Shogun, Do You Know How to Cook?

"What! A newly enrolled student already has the strength of a three-ring Soul Elder! And their Soul Ring configuration is one yellow, one purple, and one black!"

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng stared in disbelief at the senior who had been beaten into a miserable state by Xiao Wu.

The other members of the Royal Fight Team were equally incredulous.

How could anyone be that monstrous?

"It's true! If you don't believe me, ask them! They were there too. Why would I lie to you?"

The senior hurriedly shouted.

"Hmph! Whether what you said is true or not, someone capable of defeating you suddenly appeared at Blue Tyrant Academy. I certainly want to meet them."

Dugu Yan lazily played with her emerald-green nails, her interest piqued by the news.

After that, they no longer paid it any mind, because compared to Blue Tyrant Academy's affairs, they had something more important to do.

The Royal Fight Team they had formed needed to quickly raise their badge to silver rank at the Great Soul Arena.

"We should be able to go to the Great Soul Arena now, right? Kong, let's form the Wu-Kong Duo for life!"

After settling down at Blue Tyrant Academy, Xiao Wu pulled Starry Sky along, wanting to go have fun at the Tiandou Great Soul Arena.

The Soul Arena was where Soul Masters could make a name for themselves the fastest!

"Kong, I want to go too." Zhu Zhuqing also cast him an expectant look, wanting to team up with Starry Sky.

Starry Sky's mouth twitched. "I'm already a five-ring Soul King. I can't form a team with you two, can I?"

"That's true. Kong, you're too monstrous. Everyone would only remember you then. Where would that leave Sister Xiao Wu? Zhuqing, the two of us can form a two-person team."

After thinking it over, Xiao Wu did not insist on going with Starry Sky.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded as well.

She felt that teaming up with Starry Sky would not provide her with any training at all, and she would not be able to grow that way.

Starry Sky did not want to participate in Soul Battles, but he could still accompany them and have some fun.

Heaven Dou City was so vast. He also wanted to properly stroll around with his Raiden wives.

Heaven Dou City was the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Great Soul Arena here could be described as enormous.

It was not something the Soul Arenas in other cities could compare to.

The number of Soul Masters gathered here was also exceptionally great.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing happily went to register their team.

Starry Sky did not take part, merely watching them fight.

Such battles were far too dull for Raiden Shogun and the others.

Raiden Shogun then left to wander around on her own.

Starry Sky did not need to worry about her safety, so he let her go have fun.

Raiden Shogun experienced the prosperity of the big city as she strolled down the streets.

Whenever Raiden Ei spotted something delicious, she had Raiden Shogun stop and buy it.

Just as Raiden Shogun bought a large bag of pastries from a dessert shop, ten Soul Masters around eighteen or nineteen years old surrounded her.

The people nearby wanted to help Raiden Shogun, but the goose-yellow uniforms on those people made it clear that they were students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

No one dared stir up trouble, and they silently retreated one by one.

They did not want to die by provoking those noble young masters.

"A senior chef from Blue Tyrant Academy? Don't you chefs cook your own meals? Why are you buying so much food? Could it be... you really don't know how to cook?"

Seeing the senior chef badge of Blue Tyrant Academy hanging from Raiden Shogun, those people mocked her.

Raiden Shogun coldly swept her gaze across them. They dared trample on the Shogun's dignity like this; she truly wanted to cut them all down with a single strike.

But she did not want to lower herself to the level of these brats.

"Do you even know how to cook? Make a meal for this young master and let us see. If you satisfy us, stop staying in that shabby little place, Blue Tyrant Academy, and come to the Tian Dou Imperial Palace to become this prince's personal chef!"

The leader was Xue Beng.

The persona he was currently playing was that of a spoiled playboy. Whenever he saw someone from Blue Tyrant Academy, he had to act even more excessively.

Because during the last Soul Master Tournament, Blue Tyrant Academy had defeated Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team, and he had been among them.

He had not expected to run into a chef from Blue Tyrant Academy today, and such a beautiful one at that.

If he lured away Blue Tyrant Academy's chef, it would surely make the people of Blue Tyrant Academy feel humiliated.

It would also make Xue Beng appear even more dissolute and unruly.

Raiden Shogun looked at the group with some surprise and said, "You want to eat?"

The nobles gave lecherous smiles. "Of course! We really want to taste what the students of Blue Tyrant Academy eat every day."

"Let's go! This prince will take you to the palace and broaden this chef's horizons!"

Xue Beng said grandly.

Raiden Shogun nodded. "Fine."

"Aren't you a senior chef? Why aren't you buying ingredients?"

As they passed several shops, Raiden Shogun merely followed along without doing anything, leaving Xue Beng puzzled.

"What ingredients should I buy?" Raiden Shogun was even more confused. Didn't the kitchen automatically replenish its ingredients?

"Where did you get that senior chef certificate? Doesn't every senior chef choose their own ingredients? That's the only way to make more delicious food."

Xue Beng was rather particular about food, drink, and entertainment. There were quite a few senior chefs in his palace, and he had discussed such matters with them before.

A flash of realization struck Raiden Shogun. "So that's how it is."

No wonder the food she had cooked before did not taste good. So that was where the problem lay.

The chef from Liyue had not taught her properly at all!

"Huh? What do you mean, 'so that's how it is'?" Xue Beng was even more bewildered.

Did this Raiden Shogun really know how to cook?

Then Raiden Shogun ran to the marketplace.

She stared at several carrots until her eyes nearly crossed, yet still could not see any difference between them.

"You need to choose the freshest ingredients. Don't tell me... you don't even know that." Xue Beng felt that poaching Raiden Shogun from Blue Tyrant Academy was a huge mistake.

Raiden Shogun said unhappily, "Of course I know. I looked at them, and none of these will do."

If she could not tell, then she would simply take none of them.

"You're being that meticulous?" Xue Beng felt that he had misjudged Raiden Shogun.

After observing for so long, she had discovered a trace of staleness among these carrots and refused to use such ingredients in her cooking.

Perhaps this was what a qualified master chef was like!

Thinking this, he quickly said, "Miss Senior Chef, the ingredients here were actually harvested a long time ago. If you want fresher ones, you can pull them straight from the fields. The palace has a dedicated farm. We can just go there."

Raiden Shogun put an egg back. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He had made her waste so much time here.

Then Raiden Shogun arrived at the farm exclusively supplied to the imperial family.

The air here was fresh and filled with the power of nature.

All sorts of plants grew in the gardens. Some ingredients were unsuitable for growing during this season, so greenhouses had been built, with several Soul Masters altering the temperature and environment inside.

Raiden Shogun nodded in satisfaction. With such fresh ingredients, wouldn't making delicious dishes be effortless?
