What the f*ck?!
Everyone was bewildered when they heard him call her lady. None of them dared let their gaze linger on the girl but here was Chen Xiaobei, taking liberties with her.
This was Master Akaihi’s granddaughter we’re talking about!
With Master Akaihi temper, he might just kick them out the door!
Yamaguchi Takaki started sweating profusely. “Ms. Uzuishi. This is a mistake. Please don’t be mad…”
“It’s not a mistake.” The young lady shook her head, her dainty red lips spread into a smile. “I know this man. He saved my life!”
“What… What does that mean?” Everyone was scratching their heads, trying to understand the situation.
“Oh, it’s like that…” She started to explain.
“Ms. Uzuishi!” Chen Xiaobei quickly broke her off and said, “That is a secret between us. You can’t tell anyone!”
“Oh, alright. I won’t!” she nodded obediently and then said shyly, “You can just call me Yasai. I’m not some rich lady.”
“Okay, Yasai.”
Chen Xiaobei smiled thinking about how cute this girl’s name was.
That’s right! She was the beautiful chef Uzhishi Yasai whom he saved in the hotel yesterday!
She knew that Chen Xiaobei gave a Nutbuster Kick to Nikkawa Okazaka. If she told the others about it, he would be in big trouble.
Yamaguchi Takaki did not press the issue but was glad to change the topic, “Since Commander Nikkawa rescued Ms. Uzuishi, could you please ask Master Akaihi to just agree with our request?”
“I can’t…” Uzuishi Yasai shook her head and said, “Grandfather had kept to this principle his whole life. There is no way he would be willing to bend it for anything!”
Yamaguchi Takaki was disappointed but he could not do anything about it. “Then, please, Miss Uzuishi, take us to the kitchen…”
In the kitchen.
The place was truly a legend’s territory.
Hidden within the ancient temple was a large, modern kitchen. It was so well-equipped that any kinds of dishes, be it Japanese, Chinese or European cuisine could be prepared here! The ten master chefs Yamaguchi Takaki had brought with him came ready with their own ingredients. They stepped into the kitchen and immediately got to work.
“I’ll just stay out here. I won’t be of any help and might even be in your way,” said Chen Xiaobei, he already had a plan in mind. “Yasai-san, why don’t you take me out for a walk? The splendid view should be properly admired.”
“Alright!”
A smile reappeared on Uzuishi Yasai’s little face as she walked Chen Xiaobei out.
Yamaguchi Takaki did not dare to stand in Chen Xiaobei’s way so he stayed in the kitchen and kept watch.
Under the cherry blossom tree.
Chen Xiaobei kneeled on the grass and asked in a deliberately casual manner, “Yasai-san, what does your grandfather like to eat? Can no one satisfy him?”
“I don’t know what grandfather likes.” Uzuishi Yasai, who was sitting next to him like a gentlewoman, said, “Grandfather’s culinary skill is one of the best. All these years, he has already tasted so many premium dishes! Even more than the rice we’ve eaten! The dish that could win grandfather’s favor would have to be something he has never tasted before that exquisite and beyond delicious! These are nearly impossible to meet so grandfather had not been impressed by any dishes these few years!”
Chen Xiaobei’s jaw fell at this.
It had been a few years since Uzuishi Akaihi deemed a dish worthy of him?
That was preposterous!
But Chen Xiaobei had an idea to meet the criteria Uzuishi Yasai had just mentioned!
“There is something I need to do. I will have to leave the mountain but I’ll be back in two hours.” Chen Xiaobei got up abruptly.
“Let me come with you.”
Uzuishi Yasai wanted to tag along.
“No, stay here. If they look for, just tell them what I told you.”
Chen Xiaobei then walked away.
“Alright…”
Uzuishi Yasai nodded as a puzzled look flashed across her eyes.
…
After leaving the Shallow Grass Temple, Chen Xiaobei got onto the Somersault Cloud and headed for China. The Somersault Cloud traveled at supersonic speed; within ten minutes, Chen Xiaobei had already arrived in Green Vine City.
To be more specific, Chen Xiaobei had arrived at a secret base, the Hearty Island!
This little island was once an illegal animal fighting colosseum. Chen Xiaobei took over and planted peach trees all over the island. When the peach blossoms bloomed, you would see the island covered in a gorgeous pink from the shore of the south lake.
Soon after, the people in the city started calling it the Peach Blossom Island!
On the island, there was something that the citizens of China were familiar with and have good memories of – First Love Peach!
Since Chen Xiaobei left Green Vine City, both Peach Blossom Island and Bei Xuan Faction had been placed under Jing Fei’s care.
Jing Fei was fed the Heavenly Dog Biscuit so he was loyal and dedicated to Chen Xiaobei and had gone all out to make sure everything was just as Chen Xiaobei had left it.
Today, when Chen Xiaobei came back, every single one of the peach blossom trees were standing tall and strong.
This was the season when the blossoms were most bountiful. Not long after, the new batch of First Love Blossoms would be sold in the market.
But Chen XIaobei could not wait that long.
He chose the most flourishing tree and poured half a bag of Heavenly Fertilizer that he had taken from the Infinite Space Ring all over the roots of the tree. The Heavenly Fertilizer that he just used came from Hundred Herbs God some time ago.
Looking back, when Chen Xiaobei planted his first Peach Blossom Trees, he had also used this fertilizer. In one night, the three seedlings had grown into three towering Peach Blossom trees.
The tree before his eyes was about to bear fruit.
Once the Heavenly Fertilizer made contact with the ground, the flowers on the branches started to metamorphose. Within three minutes, all the petals had withered and in its place were tiny little peaches. In three minutes, the little peaches grew bigger and then in another three, the three was full of ripe peaches! They were large and round, with a dusty red hue, as if it were beautiful jade carving.
Needless to say, simply by looking at it, these were Grade A peaches!
“These water honey peaches are from Monkey King’s Mount Huaguo. They are the tastiest peaches in the world and I’m more than certain that Uzuishi Akaihi has never had them before! That way, I will be able to meet both of his requirements!”
Chen Xiaobei chuckled to himself. He was confident of the peaches that had once astounded the entire country.
After that, Chen Xiaobei placed all of the First Love Peaches into the Infinite Space Ring.
He hopped onto the Somersault Cloud and went back to Shallow Grass Temple.
Success was right before his eyes!
