Illya was troubled.
As the dominant figure in the city of Two Realms, except for the city lord's palace, she can almost be said to be walking sideways.
She was always the only one who bullied others, but there was no reason for others to provoke her.
But in the past few days, she had become greatly deflated.
Just because the best restaurant in the city, "Pearl Tower", was occupied by someone.
It's not a big deal, but for Illya, it's life-threatening.
Don't look at the fact that she is considered rich and powerful in Two Worlds City, but in fact she is not a local, but a complete outsider.
That long hair as brilliant as gold is the best proof.
The hair color of the natives of Two Realms City may be black or brown, and occasionally red, but they never have blond hair.
After leaving her hometown and coming to this barren land, the incomprehensible accent, the huge temperature difference between day and night, and the completely different clothing and eating styles all made her extremely awkward. It took her a whole year to gradually adapt.
During this long year, it was the delicious food at Mingzhu Tower that sustained her.
The unshaven, forty-year-old Mingzhulou chef claims to be knowledgeable and expert in all kinds of cuisine.
Ilia, who had just arrived, sneered at this and visited her once with the mentality of watching a joke. Chef Gu Tiancai just glanced at her blond hair and immediately got into the kitchen. After a while, he served her with a smile. A plate of steaming golden peace fruit cake was delivered.
Smelling the familiar fragrance from her hometown, Illya's nose felt sore and she was about to shed tears. She felt that this handsome man was extremely kind and had no intention of provoking any more.
From then on, she became Gu Tiancai's number one crush. She would visit Mingzhu Tower every noon, never missing.
Yes, the chef's name is Gu Tiancai, the genius of Tiancai, the dish of rookie.
Mingzhu Building is known as the No. 1 restaurant in the Two Worlds City. The store is splendid and dazzling. The building is even eleven stories high. The first to sixth floors are the lobby, and the seventh floor is the private rooms. The dishes and the environment are impeccable. The house should be filled with distinguished guests and all seats occupied.
But the reality is that Ilia has never seen a restaurant full of people. Even on the six floors below, there are often only a few customers in twos and threes, scattered everywhere, looking very deserted.
Your cooking is so delicious, why is the business so deserted?
Illya once asked Gu Tiancai this question face to face, and the answer she got was both unexpected and reasonable.
Most of the people living here cannot see the light of day.
The Pearl Tower is too luxurious and dazzling, and does not match the temperament of this city.
Chef Gu replied.
Illya seemed to understand, but she suddenly fell silent when she remembered the reason why she came here.
After that, she continued to visit Mingzhu Tower every day, but never asked any questions about the quality of the business.
After going back and forth, Ilia and Gu Tiancai became very familiar with each other. Whenever business was slow, the chef would secretly add dishes for her for free, and then he would bring a pot of wine and sit aside, and the two friends who had been together for the year would chat. Peaceful, relaxed and comfortable.
Gu Tiancai is a cook, but he seems to know everything about the world. When he opens his chat box, it is often like the water of the Tianhe River, rolling in endlessly, reaching up to the fairies in Penglai Wonderland, down to the evil spirits in Hell Valley, and in the east to the mysterious saints in the Sky City. Mountains, from the west to the rare and exotic beasts of the sky, from the north to the south, from the north to the south, with eloquent quotes, wonderful and humorous narration, which makes the blonde girl feel nervous, relieved, sad, and full of laughter at times. A three-inch tongue is far better than anything in the world. Most storytellers.
Only at this time did Miss Illya, who was always fierce, show a rare smile.
Although she didn't say it, the lunch in the Pearl Tower was undoubtedly Illya's happiest and most enjoyable time every day.
The moment she heard the report from her subordinates that Mingzhu Building was occupied, she stood up suddenly and used too much force, knocking over the tables and chairs. However, regardless of the pain, she called Uncle Spartan, the top master around her, and walked all the way. Sparks rushed to the Pearl Tower with lightning, intending to "rescue" Chef Gu.
Just kidding, I, Miss Ilya, have my own dining place, how can I allow others to be presumptuous?
But when she actually broke into the restaurant, the scene before her was far beyond her expectation.
There were only two people on the entire ground floor of the Pearl Tower, and all the other guests were missing.
One of them is a woman in a yellow shirt with a beautiful appearance and a curvy front and back, and the other is Chef Gu Tiancai.
The woman in a yellow shirt, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was stepping on a wooden stool with one foot and grabbing a shiny chicken leg with one hand. She was gnawing until it was full of juice, and her juices were splashing everywhere. She was eating in a bold and rough manner, which was incompatible with her delicate appearance.
Standing beside her was a hammer that was larger than her body. Just leaning on the hammer handle caused the wooden table to visibly dent, and the cracks in the gap spread all the way to the other end of the table, as if it would break out at any moment. It is not clear whether it is due to the weight of the hammer or the mountains of chicken, duck, fish, and delicacies piled on it.
But Gu Tiancai, who always had a smiling face, was standing aside with his head drooped, his face full of frustration and distress, but not very angry.
"Chef Gu, is this the woman?"
Seeing Gu Tiancai's expression, Illya became anxious. She thought he was being bullied and asked anxiously, "The thieves who occupied the Pearl Tower!"
"Miss Illya, please don't..."
Gu Tiancai's expression changed and he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Uncle Spartan, capture this female thief!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Illya had already shouted an order to the bearded man beside her, "You dare to act wild in my favorite restaurant. It seems that she doesn't want to live long!"
"Um?"
The noise here seemed to alarm the woman in yellow shirt who was chewing chicken. She raised her beautiful eyes slightly and glanced at Illya's position intentionally or unintentionally. Then she lowered her head and continued to feast. She looked at the intruder. The blond lady and the others paid no attention.
However, just by her gaze, Illya's blood flow inexplicably accelerated, her breathing became stagnant, and her heart beat rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her mouth.
The pressure brought by the woman in yellow disappeared in a flash, and the atmosphere in the restaurant quickly returned to its original state, but the bearded man named "Sparta" did not follow Illya's order to take action.
"Uncle Spartan?"
After finally calming down, Illya couldn't help turning her head to look at him when she saw that there was no movement.
"Miss, I can't beat you."
Sparta smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The difference in strength is too great. If I rush forward like this, it will be the same as sending me to death."
"Can't even, even defeat you? You are a master of the Heavenly Wheel!"
Illya looked at him blankly, her eyes full of disbelief, "That woman doesn't look much older than me. How can she be so powerful no matter how powerful she is?"
When she said "not much older", of course she meant age, not anything else.
Just because of the hot figure of the woman in yellow shirt, the majestic scenery on her chest made her dizzy, and she felt inexplicably sour in her heart, wishing that the other person's pair of turbulent waves would grow on her body.
"I can't tell her true strength, but she is definitely far above me."
Sparta pouted at her and gave a subtle hint of retreat, "Except the City Lord's Mansion, I'm afraid no one can deal with it."
"Chef Gu, I will inform the people in the City Lord's Mansion."
Seeing his determination, Illya knew that there was no hope of saving anyone, so she could only apologize to Gu Tiancai, "I feel sorry for you to stay a little longer, take care of yourself!"
In the City of Two Realms, she seems to be domineering and fearful to everyone, but in fact she has an extraordinary background after all. She has experienced hardships since childhood and sees things much more clearly than ordinary people. People who really cannot be offended will be kept at a distance. Once confirmed The woman in yellow shirt was invincible, so she did not hesitate and decisively led Sparta and others out of the Pearl Tower and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
The person who was trapped in the Pearl Tower was Chef Gu. If it were anyone else, Ilia wouldn't even care about it. Whether he was alive or dead, what did it have to do with her?
"Look, it's a master from the City Lord's Mansion!"
"The City Lord's Mansion really took action!"
"I heard that the Lord of the City has also taken a stake in the business of Mingzhu Tower, so it is impossible to just watch the restaurant being occupied by outsiders!"
"Isn't that Master Jin Kaijiajin? The city lord actually sent a saint master? What is the background of the other party?"
The sudden burst of noise on the street instantly attracted Illya's attention. She looked up and saw a tall golden figure flashing past her head. At an astonishing speed that the naked eye could not catch, it instantly broke into the crowd behind her. In the restaurant.
The golden coat shines brighter than her hair in the sunlight.
The person who came was just a flash in the pan, but the aura he exuded made the world eclipse the sky and the earth. The terrifying coercion caused countless people below to turn pale with fear and plop down to the ground.
"Saint, saint?"
Illya's face was full of disbelief, and her voice was extremely dry, "Then, that woman actually alarmed a strong saint?"
Jin Kaijia, the number one master in the City Lord's Mansion, the only saint in the entire city of Two Worlds, the supreme powerhouse that countless cultivators look up to.
For the sake of a restaurant, the city lord actually used the ultimate force of the entire city of Two Boundaries!
Who is the boss of Mingzhu Tower?
Such a thought came to Illya's mind instinctively.
Then, she watched helplessly as Jin Kaijia, who was extremely powerful and overbearing, was thrown out of the Pearl Tower. His face was pale, foaming at the mouth, his pupils were turned up, his legs were twitching and twitching, and his whole body was limp. It seems like there are no bones.
The most powerful man in Two Realms City, a high-ranking saint, was actually severely injured by three punches and two kicks, and almost lost consciousness!
How can it be?
Ilia suddenly felt that the future was gloomy, as if she had foreseen the terrible future of never being able to taste Chef Gu's craftsmanship again. Her heart gradually sank to the bottom, and she was beyond hope.
…
On the boundless Gobi desert, Zhong Wen, who was leaning against a boulder and smiling, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shot out with an unprecedented sharp light, and an indescribable terrifying momentum spurted out from his body, causing sand and rocks to fly around, and clouds in the sky. Turning the scroll, above the nine heavens, there were even faint sounds of dragons roaring, tigers roaring, lightning and thunder.
Three days!
After running the Smile Heart Sutra sleeplessly for three whole days, his soul finally recovered from its injuries.
"Xiao Longlong, it's time to settle the previous accounts!"
The corners of Zhong Wen's mouth raised slightly, revealing an indescribable sinister smile, and murmured to himself.
