Three Realms Invincible Restaurant

Despite the extreme pressure last night and the torture of getting up early, Shi Cangshui easily won the semi-finals.

In the small courtyard, Shi Cangshui sat on a rattan rocking chair, squinting his eyes and looking thoughtful.

"boss--"

Cui Yu's voice came from the corner of the courtyard.

At the stone table in the corner, Cui Yu, who fought against the landlord with the employees in the store, lost for almost two hours in a row, his face was all black.

Throwing the cards in his hand on the table, Cui Yu ignored Mingjun's and his group's instigation to "play another game", and rushed towards Shi Cangshui with a dark face.

"Boss, what's wrong with you, I felt something was wrong when I came back in the morning."

Cui Yu, who lost n times in a row and almost lost his pants, asked with some concern.

In order to avoid the result of being pulled to continue to lose wildly, Tiehanhan Cui Yu forced to light up the skill of "Words and Moments" for a short time, squatted beside Shi Cangshui and began to chat intimately.

"Could it be that boss, you didn't make it to the finals? Oh my god, could this be the legendary shady scene? Boss..."

"No, I'm in."

Shi Cangshui rubbed his temples, not giving Cui Yu the space to continue thinking wildly.

"I'm just thinking about the dishes I saw during the game..."

Recalling the delicate feeling of accidentally seeing the dishes of Yushan Pavilion when the dishes were submitted, Shi Cangshui frowned and said in a low voice.

"I don't know why, but his dishes always give me a strange feeling..."

"Huh? Whose dish is it?"

Hearing Shi Cangshui's words, Ming Jun who came to catch Cui Yu and continued playing cards was stunned for a moment, tilting his head and asking.

"What strange feeling, is it particularly unpalatable?"

"That's not..."

Shi Cangshui frowned and thought for a while, and finally decided to go to Yushan Pavilion to have a look.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with his dishes. Maybe it's because he's a food cultivator?"

Shi Cangshui stood up from the rocking chair and stretched lazily.

"I'll go to Yushan Pavilion, do you want to go together?"

"I want it!"

Cui Yu jumped up from the ground with a 'crash', looking at Shi Cangshui with sparkling eyes.

"Boss, I'm going too!"

If he continued to play with those guys, he would lose his next month's salary!

Seeing that Cang Shui was about to go out, Hu Weiwei and the others expressed their opinions one after another.

"I also need to go!"

"Is there something to eat in the past, can we have a bite together?"

"Tsk, boss, you are so weak, I will follow and protect you!"

The last sentence of duplicity and dislike came from Ming Jun, an abnormal employee in the store.

Glancing at Mingjun, who had been hinted several times by him, still slumped in the store and refused to leave, Shi Cangshui sighed when he was always inexplicably tired recently, and didn't bother to push him away.

"Okay, let's go then."

With the four tall servants behind him, Shi Cangshui yawned a little, and walked slowly towards Bai Xiaochen's room.

"Eh? Senior, are you going to the Imperial Restaurant?"

In the room, Bai Xiaochen scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"But Yushan Pavilion said that their owner is going to retreat recently and concentrate on participating in the National Chef Competition, so they won't open the door for a few days..."

"Hmm... is that so..."

Shi Cangshui said with some regret.

"Then it can't be helped, but anyway, thank you."

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Bai Xiaochen looked at Shi Cangshui with sparkling eyes, shaking his head rapidly.

"I'm very happy to be able to help Senior!"

"By the way, senior!"

Just when Shi Cangshui turned to leave, Bai Xiaochen suddenly called out to stop him.

"Yunyun will leave the customs in a few days, senior, do you want to go and see her then?"

Thinking about the little girl he had an inexplicable crush on, Shi Cangshui nodded and said with a smile.

"Okay, just call me when the time comes."

"By the way, what are the exercises you taught her?"

Shi Cangshui asked casually.

"Is your Baiyun Temple's cultivation technique?"

"No, it's Yunyun's own cultivation technique."

Bai Xiaochen shook his head.

He tried his best to organize the language, and after trying for a while, he finally chose to give up.

"The situation of Yunyun is quite special, senior, you will know when the time comes."

Self-perceived... Kung Fu?

Shi Cangshui raised his eyebrows, for some reason, he always had a kind of "it really is so" understanding of this surprising thing.

After returning to his small yard, Shi Cangshui nestled on the recliner when he had nothing to do, watching Ming Jun and the others try their best to persuade Cui Yu to continue "giving money".

"Let's play! As the saying goes, 'Feng Shui turns around', maybe you go out for a while, and when you come back, it's time for you to win money!"

"I do not!"

Cui Yu's attitude was unusually firm.

Under the repeated lobbying by Mingjun and others, he still stubbornly stuck to his heart.

"I don't play! I see through it, you guys are really bad, you guys take turns to win, but I'm the only one who keeps losing!"

"Pfft."

Hearing Shi Cangshui's restrained laughter, Cui Yu turned his head, and his gaze was full of accusations.

"Boss, you laugh at me too!"

"Hey, I didn't laugh at you, I just thought of a funny thing."

Shi Cangshui waved his hand and stood up from the rocking chair.

"If Xiao Cui doesn't play, I'll take his place. Anyway, I have nothing to do. I'll play a few games with you."

Seeing this, Mingjun and the others looked at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes.

"Hey, Boss, if you're about to lose, can you exchange your gambling money for snacks!"

Seeing their shining eyes, Shi Cangshui's thin lips curled up slightly, smiling very kindly.

"Yes, of course there is no problem."

Two hours later, Shi Cangshui's yard was full of wailing and ups and downs.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Seeing Shi Cangshui who got the Landlord card again and then emptied all the cards in his hand at the beginning of the game, Hu Weiwei and the others looked desperate.

Such good luck, the boss must be cheating!

Originally, I wanted to get some dried fish from the boss, but now let alone dried fish, I even lost the afternoon tea this month!

Woohoo, how can someone be so lucky, it's fake...

Seeing the three vomit souls paralyzed on the stone table, with the frustrated look of "life is hopeless", Shi Cangshui bent his eyes after winning the whole afternoon, and said with a smile.

"What does this tell us?"

"It's not allowed to gather crowds to gamble."

Humming a little song and walking away, Shi Cangshui counted how much food he had saved when he returned to his room, and felt that the whole person was very happy.

In this wave, although Xiao Hu and the others lost money, he made a bloody profit!

Yes, very good.

When it was never a loss, the boss touched his chin, and rolled his eyes with a smile.

At the same time, in the underground secret room of Yushan Pavilion.

After a soft 'bang', a fine black-purple smoke burst out from the alchemy formation.

"Cough, cough cough—"

The long-faced man who was waiting at the sideline coughed violently due to the smoke.

After the smoke cleared, the long-faced man walked quickly to the middle of the already dim formation.

In the dark core of the formation, a bowl of black liquid was contained in a black jade bowl, quietly exuding an unpleasant stench.

"This look...is it really successful?"

The long-faced man picked up the bowl of liquid that was black from the outside to the inside, and looked at it with suspicion.

"And, isn't it said that the finished product is colorless and odorless?"

"The taste of this thing is so strong. When I add it to the dish, it will directly change the taste of the dish. I can't use it!"

Seeing his suspicious and stupid expression, Hei Wu snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you? You put the liquid medicine in the bowl overnight, and after it cools down, it will be what you said 'colorless and tasteless'."

"It's still a special medicine with enhanced efficacy." Heiwu emphasized proudly.

"However, the result is the same whether you add it or not. Remember, when the final is over, release the energy ball I gave you in the stadium."

In the mist, a red light flickered faintly.

Hei Wu stared at the long-faced man and said in a deep tone.

"This is an order."

Hearing the word "order", the long-faced man's heart shrank suddenly.

He lowered his eyes and bowed his head respectfully.

In the shadow that was covered by the light and that the black mist didn't bother to pay attention to, the long-faced man clenched his teeth, and a shadow flashed in his eyes.

Night fell silently.

In Baiyunguan's bedroom, when he finished washing, Cang Shui leaned against the head of the bed, raised his hand and yawned a little.

Seeing 007 who was terrified by his raising his hand, Shi Cangshui raised his eyebrows, and pinched 007 who was nestled on his shoulder with a vigilant expression.

[Hmm, what are you, the host, please show me! ]

Amid 007's struggle, Shi Cangshui frowned and said.

"What do you mean I don't make trouble? You are the one who is abnormal? You have been like this since dinner. What are you nervous about?"

[No, nothing! ]

007 denied it categorically, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.

[It’s nothing, host, don’t think about it! ]

Shi Cangshui: "..."

Seeing 007 who wanted to write "there is a situation" on his face, Shi Cangshui was speechless for a while, but for a while, his thoughts became more solid.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Seeing how 007 wanted to fight to the end, Shi Cangshui narrowed his eyes and threatened in advance.

"You think about it, if you continue to lie to me, and then I find out that you are lying to me..."

Shi Cangshui deliberately didn't finish his sentence, leaving enough room for 007 to imagine.

007, who had been bullied by Shi Cangshui for a long time, shivered.

It held its head and struggled with a headache for a while. After a while, he recognized the reality and chose to be honest.

[It's Mr. Dijun... Mr. Dijun has something to leave, and he won't be back until tomorrow morning. In other words, you are more dangerous as the host tonight. ]

Patting Shi Cangshui's shoulder, 007 puffed up his chest and said solemnly.

[But host, don't worry, I will protect you! ]

"……That's it?"

Shi Cangshui was a little helpless when he thought something serious had happened.

"Leave as soon as he leaves, why are you so nervous?"

[Oh host, you don't understand! ]

007 sat up straight, and told Shi Cangshui about the black mist that Xiao Panglong told him word by word, in an exaggerated tone.

After listening to 007's explanation, Shi Cangshui frowned slightly.

"Is that so..."

[Well, but host, you don't have to worry too much, it's only for one night, with me protecting you, nothing will happen! ]

Seeing Xiao Tuanzi sitting proudly on his shoulder with his chest upright, Shi Cangshui smiled and poked his chubby face.

"Then thank you."

"By the way, 007, I want to ask you something."

When he was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep, Cang Shui opened his eyes.

"What did he go for?"

"Well... go and do good deeds."

007 waved his hand to turn off the light in the bedroom, as if unwilling to discuss this topic in detail, he kept urging Shi Cangshui to sleep.

"Go to sleep, host, tomorrow is the finals, and you will have the energy to fight hard after you sleep enough!"

Is it a good thing again?

In the soft night, thinking of the "good people and good deeds" that 007 said, Shi Cangshui couldn't help becoming curious.

That guy... doesn't look like he's going to do good deeds...

[Host?Host, are you listening to me?Or are you already asleep? ]

In the darkness, 007's voice came softly.

Tsk, this little fool...

His brows and eyes softened helplessly, Shi Cangshui closed his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Well, fell asleep."

... How can anyone automatically answer when they fall asleep!

Enraged by Shi Cangshui, 007 lightly bumped his head on the neck, then muttered in a low voice.

"It's late, go to bed!"

At the same time, in the void space close to the origin of the world.

The filth that was so thick that it sublimated into a liquid was cruising around in this huge space, and the black flames swept up, licking the slender figure in midair.

In this dark and chaotic space, Wu Zeyun, who is doing "good people and good deeds", sits cross-legged on the void, and the lower body is the place where he condenses his spiritual power.

He is like a light source, attracting the filth of this world to rush towards him crazily.

The monstrous filth kept pouring in, and was constantly scattered by the energy surrounding him.

Just during this back and forth, breaking up and reorganizing, the filth in the empty space is slowly decreasing.

Countless high-pitched or hoarse voices roared frantically, roaring and uttering those bewitching words that hit the soul directly.

However, from the beginning to the end, the figure sitting upright in the sky did not tremble in the slightest.

Wu Zeyun closed his eyes, and stood there indifferently, as calm as if he was already familiar with it.

A long but short night passed quietly. In the twilight of the morning light, Shi Cangshui yawned and was woken up by 007's serial killing.

Just like that, he was urged all the way to the competition venue of the finals. To Shi Cangshui's surprise, the competition system that had been broadcast live all the way from the preliminary competition had changed.

There was no live broadcast of the finals, not only no live broadcast, but no recorded broadcast.

All contestants, staff members, and judges all handed in their mobile phones, which can be said to be the ultimate in secrecy.

[...Why did the system of the finals suddenly change, and the whole process of the competition was closed? ]

Hearing his words, 007, who was chatting with Shi Cangshui in his mind and told him not to be nervous, suddenly choked.

[Isn't this what I told you before going to bed last night!Host, you really didn't listen to what I said! ]

007 hummed a few words angrily, and soon couldn't help but worry again.

[But don’t worry, I’ve checked, and the competition system over the years has always been like this. ]

[The contestants who have finished cooking can leave the field first, host, don't delay for a while, hurry up and let's leave as soon as possible. ]

007 buried his body in Shi Cangshui's neck, pinched his collar and said uneasily.

[I don't know why, but I always have an uneasy premonition... Lord Dijun hasn't come back yet, host, don't mess around, finish it quickly and let's go back early! ]

Hearing 007's broken thoughts, Shi Cangshui tilted his head to sense it.

After a while, Shi Cangshui frowned when he didn't feel any uneasiness or crisis.

But seeing that 007 nestled on his neck was so nervous that he started to tremble, Shi Cangshui still swallowed the comfort from his lips, and nodded in agreement.

[Okay, we won’t wait for the result later, we’ll go straight after we’re done. ]

Seeing 007 trembling more and more, Shi Cangshui sighed and began to comfort him in turn.

[But you don’t have to worry so much, Xiao Hu, they are all waiting outside, if there is anything wrong, they will take action. ]

[I hope so...] 007 was extremely anxious.

[Hope it's okay...]

At the same time, on the other side of the competition venue, the whisper of the black mist sounded in the ears of the long-faced man.

"When the game starts later, just crush the energy ball I gave you, understand?"

Hearing this, the long-faced man hesitated.

"So early..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted impatiently by the black mist.

"Just do as I say!"

For the long-faced man who was about to run out of use value, Hei Wu's attitude became more and more impatient.

He nestled lazily on the earrings worn by the long-faced man, and said indifferently and resolutely.

"This is an order."

Hearing the familiar four words, the long-faced man clenched his fists and nodded silently.

There were only six contestants entering the finals. After playing on both sides, the finals officially began.

The moment the referee announced the start of the game, the long-faced man heard the urging voice of the black mist.

However, to Hei Wu's surprise, the long-faced man who had always been docile and strictly obeyed his orders disobeyed his orders for the first time.

"I want to rely on my strength to win this game."

While secretly adding the refined medicine into the pot, the long-faced man whispered to Hei Wu.

"But don't worry, after my dishes are ready and presented, I will immediately put the energy ball..."

"How dare you disobey my orders!?"

The sharp roar of the black mist suddenly sounded.

The long-faced man's hands trembled. He was silent for a moment, but he still didn't answer.

"Okay, very good!"

Seeing the acquiescence of the long-faced man, Hei Wu laughed strangely a few times, and then said in a cold voice.

"Do you think that there is nothing I can do?"

"Innocent!!"

A bone-deep stabbing pain swept through his body, and the next second, the long-faced man's pupils shrank, and he realized that his body was moving uncontrollably.

"Tsk, I wanted to leave you a whole body, but you are disobedient and rush to court death..."

With a heavy tone of emotion, the black mist controlled the body of the long-faced man, took out the energy ball and slammed it on the ground.

bang——

Starting from the broken ball, the boundless black mist spread violently.

Almost in an instant, the black mist howled and surrounded the entire area near the final venue.

"……Well!"

All of a sudden, including Hu Weiwei and the others outside, everyone on and off the court collapsed without exception.

"Hahahahaha!"

In the collapsed empty hall, black mist burst out from the long-faced man's earrings.

It laughed wantonly in mid-air, and its figure twisted back and forth due to excitement.

"Finally, finally let me catch you!!"

Looking at the Shi Cangshui that fell below, a strange red light emanated from the core of the black mist.

"Although I made a big fuss and used that, but if you add those guys outside, it's not a loss."

Slowly and tremblingly moving towards Shi Cangshui, the black mist chanted sharply with a high voice.

"The old and the new are replaced, and the wheel of history will surely roll forward! Any tiny creature standing in front of the great existence will only be ruthlessly crushed!"

Jie Jie laughed strangely a few times, and Hei Wu's body trembled suddenly after being happy.

A pair of mist-condensed hands emerged out of thin air, and several complicated hands were pinched out, and this space was forcibly sealed.

At the same time, in the chaotic space.

Wu Zeyun, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked sharply in the direction of Shi Cangshui, and the wave of space distortion hit him. The next moment, his figure quietly disappeared from the chaotic space.
