Bi Ji's Worldview Collapses: The God, a Cook?

Lin Feng finally sat up straight.

He picked up the teacup on the table, gently blew on it to cool it, his movements unhurried and deliberate.

Those deep eyes swept across the entire room, taking in every gossip-loving face that screamed "I want to hear the juiciest gossip!"

Bi Ji held her breath.

Qian Daoliu stretched his neck.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena even forgot to sip their bubble tea.

Finally.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Lin Feng slowly opened his mouth.

"Because..."

His voice had a perfectly balanced huskiness, full of stories to tell.

Bi Ji's heart was in her throat.

It's here!

That answer could change the future of their Soul Beast!

"I'd like to."

"Puff--!"

Hu Liena had just taken a sip of milk tea, along with three chewy black tapioca pearls, when she immediately spat it out. Luckily, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth with her hand in time, preventing a tabletop disaster.

Qian Daoliu stumbled, nearly losing his balance, and slammed his forehead against the door frame with a dull thud.

Bi Ji's expression froze completely.

She felt her mind go completely blank after being hit by those three light, airy words.

Wh... what?

I'd like to?

That's it?

What kind of reason is that?!

Our Soul Beast Clan staked our future on top-secret espionage, and all you gave us was a simple "I'm willing"?

Bi Ji wiped away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead. She felt she was about to lose her composure and her lips twitched as she managed to squeeze out a dry sentence.

"My lord, you really are... capricious."

Lin Feng put down his teacup, smiled faintly, and seemed quite satisfied with everyone's reaction.

He rested his chin on his hand, shifting his gaze from Bi Ji to Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.

There was an inexplicable tenderness in his eyes than usual.

"Me? I'm just a cook."

"It's just a small restaurant."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"The Divine Realm? That kind of place is too boring."

"What's the point of a bunch of guys who think they're something special just because they have a little bit of skill, always wearing a stern face and looking down on everyone else?"

Lin Feng's gaze finally settled on Bibi Dong's face, which was slightly flushed from his gaze, and his smile deepened.

I still prefer staying here.

"Watching these interesting people eat the food I cook, seeing their happy expressions, and then gradually getting stronger."

"Isn't this feeling quite interesting?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing all flushed bright red.

They both lowered their heads in unison, their hearts pounding as if they were about to leap out of their throats.

Turn out to be...

It turns out he had been watching us all along.

It turns out he saw every bit of our joy, every moment we grew stronger...

At this moment, Lin Feng's image in their hearts was elevated infinitely, transforming him into a gentle deity who silently protected them in the mortal world and took pleasure in their growth.

However, just as this pink bubble was about to engulf the entire hall...

An untimely electronic voice rang in Lin Feng's mind.

[Host, if I hadn't recorded your true colors the whole time, I almost would have believed your lies.]

[What do you mean by watching them get stronger? You're clearly only happy when you see your Gourmet Points go up, aren't you?]

[Gentle? Who was it that exhausted her last night so much that she can't even straighten her back?]

Lin Feng's gentle smile remained unchanged, but his heart was already roaring.

"Get lost! You don't know anything! This is basic image building! This is called emotional investment!"

[Pshaw, with your terrible acting skills, you call that an image?]

The system emitted a classic sarcastic remark.

Save your breath, you're just lusting after her body and, incidentally, her wallet.

"..."

Lin Feng felt as if his heart had been pierced through a sieve.

He decided to stop communicating with this emotionless, broken system.

Meanwhile, Bi Ji finally recovered from that damned tenderness.

She discovered a blind spot.

A blind spot that made her feel terrible.

She blurted it out almost without thinking, her voice trembling with surprise.

"What? A chef... a restaurant?"

Lin Feng turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes seeming to say, "Are you a little slow to react?"

He shrugged.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Obvious?

It's obviously a joke!

Bi Ji felt like she had a million complaints stuck in her throat, and she had to get them out.

Whose cook could fan the Beast God Di Tian into a pig's head?

Whose restaurant has two Peerless Douluo standing as security guards at the entrance?

She seriously suspected that this powerful god before her might think that the intelligence of their Soul Beast Clan was generally low, and was simply toying with her.

However, the next second...

Bi Ji remained silent.

She watched helplessly.

From the direction of the kitchen, another man wearing an apron, who looked exactly like Lin Feng, walked out.

On Lin Feng's tray, there were more than a dozen bowls of steaming, golden-brown fried rice piled up like small mountains.

"The Employee Meal are ready!"

Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran forward, took the tray from "Lin Feng," and placed the bowls of fried rice on an empty table near the door.

Then, she turned to the door and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Grand Elder! High Priest! And you there, Hippo Douluo? Come in and have some food!"

"They're here! They're here!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The figures of Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, who were playing the role of gatekeepers just a second ago, as well as the bewildered Sea Horse Douluo, blurred almost instantly.

The next second, the three of them were already sitting upright at the dining table.

They picked up their chopsticks, grabbed the huge bowls bigger than their faces, and, ignoring the heat, shoveled rice into their mouths.

They were moving so fast, so deliberately, as if they were afraid that if they were even a second too slow, the food would be gone.

Sea Horse Douluo ate while correcting Hu Liena's direction.

"Young lady, my title is Sea Horse, not Hippopotamus."

Qian Daoliu at him, his mouth full of rice, and mumbled a reprimand, "Hu Liena is a senior employee, you're just a contract security guard, and a trainee at that! Just eat your food!"

Bo Saixi didn't say anything, but silently sped up her eating.

Bi Ji: "..."

She felt her worldview being repeatedly crushed and then reshaped by this absurd scene before her.

That's not all.

It was almost immediately after this point in time.

"Boom!"

A series of footsteps, like a thousand horses galloping, came from the end of the street outside.

Bi Ji instinctively turned her head to look.

Goodness!

Dozens of figures were seen rushing towards the hotel at a 100-meter sprint speed.

The dozen or so leading figures were all Title Douluo!

Two of them even possessed the strength of Peerless Douluo!

The group rushed into the restaurant without even taking a breath, and found seats as if they knew the place well, sitting down in groups of three or five.

Then, a chorus of loud, energetic shouts filled the entire hall.

"Boss! I'd like to order!"
