Why is it Limited? Because Two Queens Stand Beside Me!

Kachi stood with her hands behind her back, looking like a precocious old soul.

Chu He took a deep breath, his eyes no longer holding simple awe, but a burning fervor, a passion called ambition.

He followed Kachi, stepping out once again through the heavy vermilion-lacquered door of the Gluttony House.

BOOM--!

Outside the door, an aura that had been suppressed for a long time rushed at them like a tangible storm.

Mixed within that aura were countless streams of bizarre, greedy saliva, anxious growls, and desires that were almost boiling over.

A dense mass of Anomalies had already surrounded the open space outside the entrance, leaving no room to move.

The more than one hundred pounds of offal that had been sampled earlier were already snatched up.

Those Anomalies that were lucky enough to taste a bite were now closing their eyes, their faces displaying a rapture comparable to having ingested spiritual opium. They smacked their lips, as if their souls were still lost in that moment of spicy, savory crispness.

And many more who hadn't eaten were shouting at the top of their lungs, anxiously.

"Boss! Open for business! I've been waiting forever!"

"Yeah! We lined up for so long and didn't even get a whiff! Are you even running a business or not?"

"Stop the nonsense! Hurry up and set up the pot! My Ghost Coins are itching to be spent!"

The boiling clamor almost threatened to blow the roofs off the entire street.

Chu He looked at the scene, so popular it was almost out of control. He calmly cleared his throat and raised his hand, pressing down gently.

"Everyone, quiet."

With his call, the scene actually quieted down somewhat, miraculously.

Countless pairs of eyes, glowing red, green, and blue, locked onto him like spotlights.

A smile filled with apology appeared on Chu He's face, so sincere it was impossible to doubt.

"First of all, I am very sorry. I completely underestimated everyone's enthusiasm."

"The ingredients prepared today were limited, and it was my oversight that many friends made a wasted trip."

His words eased the expressions of many Anomalies who had been full of resentment.

"But don't worry, everyone!"

Chu He's tone shifted, his voice suddenly becoming loud, carrying a peculiar penetrative power.

"Today was just an appetizer!"

"This establishment, the Gluttony House, will officially open tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock!"

"At that time, there will be a richer variety of dishes, guaranteed to leave all of you satisfied!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd of Anomalies.

However, Chu He's next words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing all the flames.

The smile on his lips became unfathomable, and he spoke word by word, his voice clearly reaching every Anomaly's ears.

"Of course, to ensure the most premium dining experience, this establishment will implement a membership system starting tomorrow!"

He paused, savoring the sudden dead silence that enveloped the entire venue.

"Every day, only thirty 'Gluttony Tokens' will be distributed to the public!"

"Only distinguished guests holding a Gluttony Token will be allowed entry."

"The pot base at our establishment will be permanently free for all token-holding distinguished guests."

Upon hearing this, the entire venue fell silent.

Three seconds later, the crowd exploded!

"What the hell? Gluttony Tokens? Only thirty limited ones?"

A pig-headed Anomaly, covered in thick flesh, jumped out and pointed at Chu He's nose, cursing, "You're just selling offal, why are you limiting it? Do you think you're the Divine Chef Xia Yan?"

"Exactly! Rules I've never even heard of! You're going crazy trying to raise prices!"

"Membership system? Why don't you just fly to the moon! I have money, I can eat whatever I want, why would I need you to issue me a token?"

Laughter, curses, and doubts surged like a tide.

Many Anomalies felt their dignity and intelligence had been doubly insulted.

A human, relying on a woman's backing, selling the most lowly "scraps," dared to play such games in front of them?

Xia Yao's eyes turned cold upon hearing this, but Chu He stopped her.

Chu He had anticipated this long ago, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.

He knew that those shouting the loudest were probably the ones who hadn't gotten to eat earlier and were still fuming.

"Everyone, quiet."

Chu He's voice was not loud, but it seemed to possess a magical power, suppressing the noise once again.

"What this establishment sells has never been ingredients."

He scanned the surroundings, his gaze sharpening like a knife.

"What I sell is an unprecedented experience! Something that will make your very souls tremble... a miracle!"

"I believe the friends who were fortunate enough to sample it just now can honestly say, have you ever eaten anything better than that before?"

As soon as he said this, the Anomalies who had tasted the food subconsciously nodded, their expressions becoming extremely strange.

Indeed... that taste was f*cking amazing!

Seeing this, Chu He felt reassured and continued to press his advantage, his voice carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Perhaps you think I, a mere human, am being too bold."

"But my Culinary Skills have been personally praised by the renowned Ghost Chef—Master Xia Yan!"

The words "Xia Yan" detonated like a real nuclear bomb among the crowd of Anomalies!

Who was Xia Yan?

He was a legend in the Ghost Chef world! A god!

To request his services wasn't about money, but solely about status and mood.

In the entire world of Anomalies, only those nine supreme Royal Families had the right to be his honored guests!

This human claimed his Culinary Skills had been praised by Xia Yan?

Just as the Anomalies were half-believing, half-doubting, thinking this person was bragging to the heavens.

Chu He lazily pointed to Xia Yao and Kachi beside him, a playful smirk on his lips.

"If I'm lying to you, then were the looks of these two Royal Highnesses, with their mouths full of oil and looking like they were about to faint from happiness, also fake?"

"You can choose not to believe me."

"But, do you dare question the taste of the Void Gazer Royal Family and the Star Law Royal Family?"

All the Anomalies' gazes refocused on Xia Yao and Kachi.

This... was irrefutable evidence!

At this moment, a demonic Anomaly in a butler's uniform, with a single horn on its head and looking quite knowledgeable, suddenly trembled all over, as if remembering something terrifying, and screamed out:

"I remember now! When this human dealt with that Taotie earlier, the chains he used carried an aura of spatial distortion! That's the Star Law Royal Family's secret art—the Spatial Divine Chain!"

Chu He was taken aback. What Spatial Divine Chain? Wasn't that just a form of Power of Space?

One stone stirred up a thousand waves!

The Anomalies recalled, and the more they thought, the more their scalps tingled.

A human, not only followed closely by two Royal Highnesses, but also possessing a secret Royal technique, and even having a connection with the legendary Divine Chef Xia Yan...

What was this person's background?

His background was probably not just sky-high, but had pierced through the heavens!

For a moment, the Anomalies who had lost their minds and were shouting in anger fell silent, feeling a chill run down the back of their necks.

They knew with their toes that such an existence was not someone they could afford to offend.

The mockery and curses from before now felt like swords hanging over their heads.

Many Anomalies began to quietly shrink back, preparing to slink away shamefully.

Chu He also sighed!

As expected, a little "borrowed power" was more effective than ten thousand explanations.

He waved his hand, issuing the order to leave.

"Alright, that's all for today, everyone please go home."

"Those who wish to experience unparalleled delicacies, come back tomorrow at 4 PM, bring your sincerity, and be punctual!"

The remaining Anomalies, though reluctant, knew there was no hope today and could only disperse, looking back repeatedly, their eyes filled with awe and fervor.

Soon, the area in front of Gluttony House became quiet.

Chu He led the two women back inside, beginning the final preparations for tomorrow's opening.

He cleaned the remaining large bags of offal.

He also simmered a large pot of broth, divided it into dozens of portions, and cooled them before putting them into the freezer!

As for the tracheas, livers, and other parts, he planned to make them into side dishes to sell separately!

He felt extremely grateful to Kachi. With her method, he not only saved a lot of effort but would also earn more money!

Xia Yao and Kachi were not idle either. One extinguished dust with a glance, the other waved her small hand and the tables and chairs returned to their places. Their efficiency was terrifyingly high.

With all preparations complete, Chu He slapped his thigh.

"We need a signboard!"

He immediately found a craftsman Anomaly, and under the requirements of "simple, clear, and impressively domineering," a huge plaque was quickly made and hung high above the entrance of Gluttony House.

On the plaque, five large characters were inscribed in a flamboyant calligraphy—Chu He Hot Pot Restaurant!

Next, he had someone erect a billboard nearby, with an even more astonishing slogan on it.

"Deliciousness praised by the Royal Ghost Chef Xia Yan!"

"Hot Pot so good it makes Queens weep!"

Kachi stood to the side, looking at the ridiculously tacky shop name and the cringe-worthy slogan that could make you dig out a three-bedroom apartment, her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

She couldn't help but nudge Chu He with her elbow.

"Little He He, I seriously suspect your aesthetic sense will lower our shop's class and thus affect my 'Drain Them Dry in Three Steps Plan'."

"You just don't get it!" Chu He said proudly. "This is called contrast! Ultimate deliciousness paired with the most down-to-earth promotion. That's called being approachable!"

Kachi rolled her eyes dramatically, but a hint of indulgence, unnoticed even by herself, flickered in her gaze.

Forget it, this idiot. As long as he's happy.

With all the work done, night had fallen deep.

Chu He looked at the sky. "It's too late today, and it's inconvenient to go back to school. Let's find a hotel to stay in nearby."

"Hotel?"

Kachi and Xia Yao's eyes lit up simultaneously. For two royals who were accustomed to palaces and divine realms, the word "hotel" was filled with novelty and temptation.

"Yes, yes! I've never stayed in a commoner's lodging before!" Kachi exclaimed, clapping her hands excitedly.

Xia Yao nodded in agreement.

The three locked the door of Gluttony House and headed towards a relatively clean-looking "House of Anomalies" hotel at the end of the commercial street.

And it was here that Chu He witnessed a scene he would never forget.
