Wendy and Lise were incredibly envious of Sophie and Jessica at that moment.

They pulled Sophie and Jessica aside and asked them all sorts of questions, most of them about Olivier. They did not dare ask Olivier directly; they were unfamiliar with him and felt a faint sense of fear.

Three women made a show; four women chattered away.

Olivier could not get a word in edgewise. Most of their conversation was about him, yet he had become a bystander instead.

So.

Olivier began thinking of how to send those two women away. They had been apart for more than two years, and he had not yet had the chance to catch up and be affectionate with Sophie and Jessica.

Finally.

After satisfying Wendy and Lise's curiosity, he saw them off.

"Sophie, Jessica, come here. I've noticed that after two years apart, you've both become prettier."

Now that the three of them were alone, Olivier began to misbehave, pulling Sophie and Jessica onto his lap, one in each arm.

"Really? Where?" Sophie asked coquettishly.

"Yes, where have we become prettier?" Jessica followed suit.

Whenever the three of them were together, they acted utterly spoiled. When others were around, however, they became incomparably gentle and virtuous. They knew what Olivier liked, so that was exactly what they became.

"Where? Here? There? Let's study it properly." As he spoke, Olivier began teasing every part of Sophie and Jessica's bodies.

Sophie looked at Olivier and said, "How have we become prettier? It's you, my lord, who has become even more handsome and charming."

After becoming a god.

He possessed a mysterious attraction to ordinary people. Even Wendy and Lise could not help being drawn to him.

"I've become more handsome, and you've become prettier too. Let's see exactly where you've changed, hehe." Olivier gave a lecherous laugh.

"Ah, my lord, after becoming a god, did you undergo any special changes? For example, down there?" Jessica asked with a mischievous smile.

"Down there? Where? Oh, you'll know once you try it. Hahaha."

The night was filled with endless springtime pleasure.

The next day.

Olivier suggested that they take a stroll around the imperial capital.

After the three arrived in the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire, Olivier had previously been busy teaching Catherine Taiji Fist, and later he had left for more than two years. Meanwhile, sisters Sophie and Jessica had been occupied studying magic and had never gone sightseeing.

Thus, none of the three had properly explored the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire.

"In the imperial capital of O'Brien, warriors can be seen everywhere, but magi are extremely rare. In the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire, although there are many warriors, magi are no fewer in number than warriors."

Olivier spoke as they walked.

"I learned at the academy that the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire has the most magi in the entire Yulan Continent. Because of the High Priest, this place is holy ground for magi. It also has the most Saint-level magi. There are thirty or forty Saint-level magi living in the imperial capital, accounting for half of all Saint-level magi on the Yulan Continent."

Jessica said.

"My lord, look. Magic books can be seen everywhere in this imperial capital, along with many magical runes. We didn't have these in Red Flame City. These runes are so beautiful. I think this place is more interesting than Red Flame City."

Sophie pointed at a roadside stall.

"Warriors are all a bunch of crude fellows, while magi are a group who pride themselves on being noble. They are particular about food, clothing, housing, and travel, so naturally life here is better than in Red Flame City."

Olivier said.

"My lord, you're a warrior too. Hehe, how can you say that about yourself?"

Sophie laughed.

Olivier smiled. He could be refined or vulgar, and appreciate both refinement and vulgarity. As long as he was happy, that was enough.

"Come on, the restaurant you mentioned is here."

It was a restaurant. Its food was delicious and famous throughout the imperial capital. The owner had an extremely strange temper. He had no fixed prices: when he was in a good mood, he charged only a little for a meal; when he was in a bad mood, the price was extremely high. Some people ate for free, while others spent a Saint-level magicite core on a single meal.

Sophie and Jessica had heard classmates and teachers mention it back at the academy. Everyone praised its food without exception.

But when it came to the owner, they both loved and hated him.

When Olivier heard of such an interesting restaurant, how could he not come see it for himself?

After all, he considered himself a gourmet of the Yulan Continent.

"Interesting. The chef is actually a Saint-level Archmagus."

The restaurant really was not large. There were three or four waiters inside, but only one chef—the owner himself. With Olivier's god-level strength, he could naturally tell that this chef was a Saint-level Archmagus.

"Why are there so few people?"

Olivier saw that there were eight tables in the restaurant, yet only one of them was occupied, so he asked.

Since the food was so delicious, there should have been many customers.

"My lord, the same dishes here cost a hundred times more than at the best restaurants in the imperial capital. That's why there are very few people normally. Sometimes, no one comes for days."

Sophie explained.

"Oh, a hundred times more?" Olivier was somewhat surprised, but then he thought it over.

"That is only natural." A Saint-level Archmagus personally cooking a meal—let alone a hundred times the price, even a thousand or ten thousand times more would not be excessive.

"Sophie, Jessica, today we're not just here to eat. If you get the chance, learn a few tricks from him."

Olivier and the two women ordered several signature dishes as he spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry, my lord. There's nothing we can't learn." Sophie said cheerfully.

Several plates of food were served. Olivier tasted them and found that, compared with Sophie and Jessica's cooking, they were roughly on the same level, though the flavors were different. Different cuisines had their own specialty dishes, each with its own strengths.

"I'm telling you, no one has ever managed to learn our boss's cooking." A waiter nearby spoke up. Seeing that Sophie and Jessica were both beauties, he was willing to say a few extra words.

"Oh, no one can learn it? Does your boss have some secret recipe?"

Olivier asked probingly.

"I don't know about that. You should ask our boss." The waiter smiled. From his expression, it was obvious that he did not know either. "You can ask him. Maybe if he's in a good mood, he'll tell you."

"Hey, brother, could you help call your boss out? I'd like to talk to him."

Olivier said to the waiter.

"I can let him know, but whether he sees you depends on our boss's mood." The waiter was very enthusiastic and clearly a talkative person.

"Tell him I want to buy his skills. He can name any price he wants."

Olivier added.

"My lord, do you want us to learn his cooking?" After the waiter left, Jessica asked.

"I'm telling you, this owner is quite an interesting person. You'll find out soon enough." Olivier smiled.

He picked up a piece of Dragon Liver and put it into his mouth. This Dragon Liver was the liver of an Aquatic Dragon. It was extremely delicious. This type of dragon lived in water and was not large in size. Its meat was excellent, but preparing it was very troublesome.

Sophie and Jessica also began enjoying the delicacies on the table, carefully savoring them while considering how the dishes had been prepared.

It had to be said!

The food at this restaurant tasted extremely good. Even Olivier, who was accustomed to enjoying fine food, could not resist taking a few more bites.

"These dishes seem to be stir-fried using a special method. The heat is controlled exceptionally well, but the ingredient combinations seem somewhat imperfect."

Experts looked at the craft, while laymen watched the spectacle.

All three were masters in the culinary world. They ate while waiting for the owner to come out.
