Primordial Draconic Incubus With A Gourmet Chef System

Finally, Li Yong could no longer withstand the torment and snorted in disdain at the young monk. "Damn, bald donkey! Should a monk be saying that?"

"Amitabha, Buddha is merciful!" Anselm smiled serenely with his palms clasped together.

He looked completely harmless and righteous as he said, "This humble monk, Anselm, has read and memorized the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra. However, I am a faithful follower of Mara, the God of Death and Desire. Life is too short not to feast on the sacred nectar produced only by women and partake in meat given to us by nature. In fact, we should be punished for not doing so!"

*Cough*

Li Yong was so speechless by the shameless young monk that he began coughing.

'Damn, where did this monk come from?' Li Yong thought after composing himself.

He then continued skeptically, "If you're a devoted follower of Mara or whatever, why are you talking about Buddha being merciful?"

Even though he barely knew anything about Buddhist culture, it did not sound right.

Anselm shook his head. With his hands still clasped together in front of his chest, he righteously explained, "When this humble monk is not spending time in the Pleasure Pavilion, drinking wine, and eating meat, I am a faithful follower of Buddha."

"Wasn't that obvious?" He widely smiled.

'...' Li Yong stared at Anselm in disbelief, with his lips curled up. How could someone righteously claim he was a follower of both Buddha and Mara?

'Shameless.'

When it was convenient for him, he would switch sides… People like him were absolutely scum.

A moment later, Li Yong shook his head. The bald donkey could do whatever he wanted, as long as it did not affect him.

The heavenly aroma continued wafting from the restaurant to all those within its range.

Li Yong's stomach rumbled again. Hastily, he forced his stomach to calm down by feeding it Mana.

Anselm smiled widely at his actions. 'I want to see how long you can continue staring at them without giving in. And as soon as you fall into temptation, this bald monk will know if I can feast on that dish.'

He was like a predator waiting for its prey to take the bait.

If the restaurant was not located in the Orchard Family area, Anselm would have long ordered dozens of delicious poached eggs.

And that was exactly what was stopping Li Yong and a few others from visiting the restaurant.

The Orchard Family was just too strong!

Soon, the world became darker as the half-moon started rising over their heads, reflecting light from the sun.

After a few moments of hesitation, Li Yong's fuse was ignited, and he shouted to bolster his courage.

"Fuck it! Even if I go there, what's the worst that could happen? I get turned around."

He took a deep breath and with determination, marched toward the makeshift restaurant.

'Haha, finally.' Anselm laughed with his eyes narrowed into slits. 'Now it's all up to Buddha if this young monk will go hungry or be fed well.'

"Halt! This area belongs to the Orchard Family! Please return to where you came from." One of the guards raised his sword at Li Yong and shouted sternly.

*Gulp*

Li Yong tried to speak, but the pressure locking him in place was too much for his Tendon Tempering Realm Mage Rank.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His eyes widened in fear as he made a startling realization. 'A Bone Tempering Realm Mage! Fuck. I'm screwed. Damnit! Damnit!'

Instantly, all of his previous bravado deflated like a balloon.

[Haah, Almsgiver, it was nice knowing you.] Anselm's voice sounded in his head, causing him to grit his teeth in hatred.

'I was used!' He would be an idiot if he did not realize it!

[Obviously, the Orchard Family would have experts guarding them.] Anselm said matter-of-factly. [The more they contribute to the family the more resources they obtain.]

After locking him in place with his pressure, the guard respectfully walked over to his Master, who was sitting cross-legged on a chair.

Sensing his guard approaching him, James slowly opened his eyes. "What is it?"

The guard respectfully bowed, "Master, an impudent fellow wants to enter Chef Lucian's restaurant."

James frowned as he glanced at the chubby young man, "If Senior doesn't mind, let him enter."

'Senior? Who could be Sir James' Senior?' Li Yong thought to himself with a bit of hope.

'Hopefully, the Senior mentioned by Sir James is merciful.'

Of course, the Senior James mentioned was Lucian. After discovering his culinary expertise, James changed the way he addressed him. He was worthy of being called Senior by him. Not only was he an expert in cooking, but his Mage Rank was unfathomably deep to the point his Mana Sense did not even work on him. After the second failure, he gave up trying to gauge his strength.

He was a Being he could not even see unless he used his eyes.

A moment later, he continued, "How much time has passed since I ordered the Sous Vide Filet Mignon?"

Just as his voice faded, Fenwick, who was sitting in lotus position on a chair opposite of James, responded with his eyes closed,

"It's been an hour and forty-three minutes."

"Oh?" James raised his eyebrows in pleasant surprise. "Haha, that's great! I can hardly wait to try the dish that the waitress mentioned!"

Fenwick nodded. "You and me both!"

Inwardly, Fenwick was fuming. How could Lily, the princess of the Royal Vale Family be reduced to a mere waitress? If not for the fact he respected her decision, he would have blown his fuse.

That… and because Lucian was too strong.

'At least, it's only temporary,' He consoled himself.

Meanwhile, the guard looked at the Barrier in confusion. How was he supposed to ask Chef Lucian with the barrier blocking him from entering the kitchen?

'Hopefully, knocking on the barrier works.' He thought to himself and knocked on the barrier three times. Continue your adventure at empire

[Host, wake up, you have a customer.] The System said all of a sudden to the sleeping Lucian.
