Big Chef Teases the Female Investigator and Finds a Clue to the Third Pearl

After spending a thousand Merit, Qin Fen still had more than three thousand left. He had also obtained his latest prize: an Invisibility Talisman. He had chosen it because it would make certain situations easier to handle if trouble arose.

After dinner, Qin Fen left the gifts for his parents and headed home. The sight of their gradually graying hair made him leave them some specialties from the Earthly Immortal Realm. It also gave him a sense of urgency. He needed to promote better food and fitness quickly. His parents needed them, and so did countless elderly people across the country.

Only by steadily improving the population's physical health could he lay the groundwork for exchange in both directions. Giving people more than their bodies could handle might do harm despite his good intentions.

Chef Qin could be ruthless toward immortals, but he was a decent man. He had never meant to truly hurt Wind-Following Ear. Who could have known that the inner demon and the Demon Tribe already had plans in motion? By sheer chance, instead of causing a tragedy, he had ended up saving someone. Fate worked in strange ways. Now he tempered his attitude toward immortals a little and decided to work from the shadows.

Back home, he took out the talisman that had appeared in his hand and decided to test it. With a thought, three hundred Merit was deducted.

Big Chef was baffled. He could not see any difference. But Little Bean, standing beside him, sprang up and stared strangely at an empty patch of air. Master disappeared? Was that invisibility? The top dog among the Heavenly Court's strays was deeply envious. He was a divine beast, yet he still had not developed a single innate ability. How was he supposed to live that down?
