The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Then you all can rest for a while, there are no specific rules here. As for the rules of the sect, they are all in the sect badge. Right, just come out for dinner in the evening," the Chef said.

"Okay," Tang Rao nodded.

The Chef didn't say anything more, exited the room, and helped Tang Rao and Lu Jun close the door.

"Brother Tang, this place is so strange," Lu Jun said as soon as the Chef left.

Tang Rao glanced at the door, if he wasn't mistaken, the Chef should still be outside, but Tang Rao did not stop Lu Jun.

"Strange? What do you mean?" Tang Rao asked.

"A Madman, a Chef, and one other person. I don't know why, but I feel that all three of them are very odd, especially the Chef, he seems very strong," Lu Jun said.

Tang Rao looked at Lu Jun in surprise, this boy was not simple, he could actually perceive the Chef's strong prowess.

"The Chef, seems to be even more formidable than Elder Niu Ben," Lu Jun muttered, "I'm not sure if my feeling is correct, but anyway, that's what I think."

"Ah, well, let's not delve into these things, it's more important to focus on our cultivation," Tang Rao shrugged and spoke. He didn't tell Lu Jun that within the Earth Sect, the strongest was not the Chef, but the Madman.

That was something Li Shengxuan had told him; with Tang Rao's current abilities, he couldn't see through these things.

"That's true, Brother Tang, I think the Kao Shan Heart Method is really impressive," Lu Jun said, "I plan to comprehend all of the Heart Methods first."

"That thing is indeed very powerful," Tang Rao nodded.

"Brother Tang, I've comprehended all five articles, I can teach them to you," Lu Jun said.

Tang Rao grinned.

Lu Jun seemed genuinely naive. Others would conceal such things jealously, yet he thought of sharing it with me.

"No need for now, I have also comprehended a few articles, let's take it slow," Tang Rao said.

I have comprehended a whole seven articles of the Kao Shan Heart Method.

Probably even He Kaoshan doesn't know that the Kao Shan Heart Method consists of seven articles.

"That's fine then," Lu Jun replied.

...

"I can't believe it... what's happening today?" In the courtyard, the Chef walked outside, mumbling under his breath.

One Tang Rao was already abnormal, now it seems, Lu Jun is a freak too.

He's comprehended five articles of the Kao Shan Heart Method, knowing, that thing is pretty impressive.

Especially the fifth one.

Comprehending the fourth and the fifth articles is not on the same level at all; the first four articles of the Kao Shan Heart Method: Human, Earth, Heaven, Path, are indeed exquisite, but compared to the fifth Natural article, they are practically garbage.

In the entire history of the Kao Shan Sect, before Lu Jun, only two people had ever comprehended the fifth Natural article.

And these two people had led the Kao Shan Sect to its peak.

A long time ago, the Kao Shan Sect was very strong. Although it couldn't be considered a top-tier force, it was indeed famous.

Not like now, completely bottom-tier.

"Perhaps, these two guys might be able to lead the Kao Shan Sect back to its peak. The Madman and the Lunatic... these two boys, although talented, have too many defects," the Chef muttered.

Nonsense, one's mad and the other's crazy, how could they not have major flaws?

...

In the evening, Tang Rao came out of his room, with Lu Jun naturally following, who had completely become Tang Rao's lackey.

Tang Rao himself didn't expect to have a lackey just upon arriving at the Land of Immortals, and a very talented one at that. It seems, my radiance as Tang Laohei cannot be concealed anywhere.

"Xiao Tang, Xiao Lu, over here." As soon as they reached the outer courtyard, the chef waved to Tang Rao and Lu Jun.

In the middle of the courtyard, a table was set up, already filled with dishes. The fool and the madman were seated but hadn't started eating yet. It was clear that both were restraining themselves, their saliva almost dripping down.

"Here we come." Tang Rao responded and walked over to the dining table, then sat down.

There were eight or nine dishes on the table, all looking quite substantial and well-presented. Let's not talk about the taste yet; just looking at them was appetizing.

As the saying goes, cooking requires color, aroma, and taste. There's a reason why color comes first; a dish has to be visually appealing to entice one to eat it.

If it's burnt and uninviting, even if tasty, few people might choose to try it.

Even if someone did try it, the taste would be discounted, and the mood would also affect the flavor of the dish.

"Wow, it looks really tasty," Lu Jun exclaimed, eyes gleaming as he looked at the dishes on the table.

"Alright, let's start," the chef said with a smile.

Hearing the chef's words, the fool and the madman immediately picked up their chopsticks and started crazily grabbing food, shoveling it into their mouths.

It was a sight to behold, like a whirlwind devouring the leftovers.

Tang Rao and Lu Jun were dumbfounded, thinking, damn, isn't that a bit over-the-top?

But seeing how energetically the madman and the fool were eating, Tang Rao and Lu Jun didn't just sit there; what if it really was delicious?

So, they started using their chopsticks too.

A few seconds later, Tang Rao and Lu Jun's faces turned the color of liver.

"Pfft pfft pfft!" Both of them, supporting themselves on the table, twisting their bodies, began to spit out the food in their mouths.

Damn, is this even edible?

The salty dishes were painfully salty, the sweet ones sickeningly sweet, and why on earth would you put chili sauce in a sweet dish? Also, that's supposed to be sour soup fish, right? What's with all the salt? A perfectly good sour soup turned into ancient salty brine, OMG...

The fool and the madman just glanced at Tang Rao and Lu Jun.

Of course, they were still not putting down their chopsticks and continuously eating.

"Chef, can you tell me how you managed to make the dishes look so good but taste so horrible?" Tang Rao raised his head and asked, tears already spurting out.

To put it bluntly, this was the worst dish he had ever eaten in his lifetime.

"Uh... well, the fool and the madman always found it delicious," the chef said.

"What about you?" Tang Rao asked. After all, the fool and the madman were not normal people.

"How would I know, I haven't had a sense of taste for many years," the chef shrugged and said, "Something went wrong during my cultivation, and I lost my taste on my tongue."

Tang Rao: "(>_<)!"

Lu Jun: "⊙０⊙"

"Chef, I really can't eat this..." Tang Rao said earnestly.

"Well, okay." The chef nodded, looking somewhat dejected. His dream was to be a distinguished chef, but clearly, his cooking was not appetizing.

It was just good-looking.

"I'll just make something for myself to eat." Tang Rao said as he walked away from the dining table, pulling out a grill from his Space Ring, lit a fire, and put two marinated chickens on it to roast directly.

In less than ten minutes, the aroma spread.

By then, the madman and the fool had already stopped, their eyes fixed intently on the roasted chicken in Tang Rao's hand.

This time, they really couldn't hold back; their drool dripped directly onto the table.

Even the table seemed to be salivating. He may have lost his sense of taste, but his nose wasn't broken, and that thing was just too aromatic.
