Chen Xiaojun's voice sounded again, sounding regretful and weak, "Chef Kong, do you have any last wishes?"

Kong Youde knew that his time had come. He smiled lightly, with a deep relief shining in his eyes.

"A last wish? How can a rotten person like me dare to talk about last wishes? The first half of my life was rough, and the second half of my life was struggling with hatred and contradiction. Family, friendship, and love are all luxury to me. Now. , my only wish is that the world can become a better place, even though it sounds ridiculous."

He paused and continued: "But if there is anything I really want to leave behind, it might be my love for cooking. Passing the certification of the Food Palace and becoming a real chef is the most important thing in my life. The thing I am most proud of. This is a recipe book that I have recorded throughout my life. It contains all my experiences and ideas. I want to give it to you, Mr. Chen Xiao. I hope it can leave my mark in this world. A little trace.”

The Food Palace is one of the neutral organizations in Douluo Continent and the chef industry guild. One of its functions is to evaluate chefs' cooking skills.

The "chef" Kong Youde mentioned here is not an honorific title, but the seventh level in the chef hierarchy, a high-level chef, just like the "soul saint" among soul masters.

As he spoke, Kong Youde took out a somewhat yellowed and worn notepad from the storage device, with the words "Kong's Recipe" written on the cover.

He carefully handed it to Chen Xiaojun, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Chen Xiaojun took the notepad solemnly, as if he had taken on a heavy mission.

He took a deep look at Kong Youde, then turned to Feng Qisheng and said: "Chef Kong, don't worry. Your wish is my wish. We will make the world a better place and pass on your cooking skills." Go down."

At the same time, Kong Youde raised his head and looked at Feng Qisheng, with inexplicable turbulent emotions in his eyes. Feng Qisheng looked at him, then seemed to think of something, nodded heavily and said, "Old Kong, I will try my best to help you with your wish." You achieve it.”

Kong Youde then smiled slightly, as if listening to their words, a warm current surged in his heart.

He knew that he had reached the end of his life, but at this moment, he felt an unprecedented peace and contentment.

He smiled and closed his eyes, as if he saw himself continuing to pursue the ultimate in cooking skills in another world.

At this time, Kong Youde spoke again, with a weak but firm voice: "A few days ago, little brother Chen taught me a few dishes that I had never seen before. They were full of color and aroma, and the taste of those dishes... was really beautiful. I I thought, that might be the best tasting moment I’ve ever had in my life.”

After he finished saying this, there was no more sound.

Feng Qisheng and Chen Xiaojun stood beside him quietly, feeling the life that was once full of contradictions and struggles gradually disappear.

They knew that Kong Youde had completed his mission and left his traces. And his story will remain in their hearts forever.

After a long time, Chen Xiaojun looked at Kong Youde, wondering what he was thinking. Feng Qisheng also waited quietly, looking a little worried.

"He is very smart." Chen Xiaojun spoke slowly, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"Yes!" Feng Qisheng immediately agreed and said with emotion.

He was well aware of Kong Youde's wisdom, and also understood that his actions before his death must have deep meaning.

"There is a lot of useful information hidden in his words." Chenxiaojun smiled slightly.

"So, Master Chen, do you have anything to ask me?" Feng Qisheng also responded with a smile. He knew that Chen Xiaojun would have many questions next.

Chen Xiaojun sighed in his heart: "As expected, every old man is an old fox."

He knew that Feng Qisheng was an experienced and thoughtful person, and if he wanted to get useful information from him, he had to be careful.

"That's true, Grandpa Feng. So if I have any questions, can I ask you?" Chen Xiaojun said in a respectful tone.

"Tell me everything I know, and tell me everything!" Feng Qisheng replied without hesitation.

Although he hasn't sat down and analyzed it carefully like Ji Chenglie, the interaction between Chen Xiaojun and Chen Cong cannot be hidden from him.

"Grandpa Feng, do you know how old he is?"

"43 years old, if he hasn't lied to me about this in the past."

"It seems that the Crimson Church thirty-three years ago was very lively."

"Maybe."

"When did he come to Ji's house?"

"24 years old." Feng Qisheng answered briefly. He understood that Chen Xiaojun was gradually piecing together Kong Youde's life trajectory.

"What was his specific soul master level just now?"

"Level 67."

"It's not slow!"

"Ah."

"Does he have a crush?"

"Yes." Feng Qisheng suddenly stopped and was trapped.

Then, he seemed to be recalling something, and then continued: "But that was a long time ago."

"So, Chef Kong gave me this recipe not just to repay me for the dishes and leave traces, but also to pay for my hush money." Chen Xiaojun suddenly understood Kong Youde's intention, and he said to Feng Qisheng with a smile .

Feng Qisheng remained silent, acquiescing to Chen Xiaojun's statement. He knew what Kong Youde did before his death, and he was willing to keep it a secret.

"I think there should be an heir, right?" Chenxiaojun continued to smile.

After Feng Qisheng paused for a while, he nodded with difficulty, "It's a girl."

"So, he said so much when he was leaving just now, it should be because of the mother and daughter." Chenxiaojun said one word after another.

"Yes!" Feng Qisheng's voice was a little deep.

"Grandpa Feng is the general manager of the mansion. He has known Chef Kong for twenty years. Naturally, he can't hide it from you. Chef Kong understands your personality, so he is at ease with you. However, I have only met him a few times, and although we have a close friendship, , but he has a cautious character and will still take precautions, so he gave me this recipe." Chen Xiaojun analyzed it clearly, and his intelligence was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Feng Qisheng laughed. He knew that when Chen Xiaojun said this to his face, it meant that he had agreed.

"Grandpa Feng, you said that Makoto Ito would be able to watch his words and run away. So, Chef Kong has been in the Ji family for twenty years, will he also have an escape route?" Chen Xiaojun suddenly raised a thought-provoking question.

Feng Qisheng was silent for a while, seeming to be recalling and thinking about the past.

Then, he nodded slowly: "Yes! With the Crimson Church's status as the public enemy of the mainland, their behavior has always been this way. Lao Kong must have been prepared to escape for so many years in the Ji family."

This answer made Chen Xiaojun fall into deep thought. He understood that Kong Youde, as an undercover agent who had been lurking in the Ji family for so many years, must have his own plans and preparations.

The two of them were speechless, and there was an indescribable heaviness in the air.
