Chapter 1718

Finding himself unable to refute it, though inwardly unwilling, he finally forced the words back down his throat.

Ainz Ooal Gown: "I'm truly shocked by this Dark Chef World setting."

"And the legendary Eight Culinary Tools! And that whole bunch… who cook like they're practicing martial arts."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "Considering this place! I especially want Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "The world of Chinese Little Chef… is indeed somewhat peculiar! And the later power outbursts are simply terrifying…"

Luo Hao, the Sect Master: "Speaking of which…吐槽! Especially after the Shanghai arc, when the Five Great Generals of the Dark Kitchen World were officially introduced."

"These guys finally abandoned the divine utensils and admitted they're using psychic powers to cook!"

Altriel: "... I cannot refute it."

Hei Qi Yihu: "Cooking with psychic powers…噗哈哈哈! I've already laughed so hard I peed myself."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "Though somewhat surprised… still, it's fine! If you want to talk about power outbursts, just look at the neighboring Dragon Balls—everything becomes acceptable."

Sun Wukong: "..."

Thor Odinson: "..."

"Never thought… Master Zhang Sanfeng, on this matter, is… somehow more open-minded than us ordinary people."

Bai Hu Zi: "Actually, what I'm most looking forward to is! What kind of luminous delicacy Liu Maoxing will create after reaching the top-tier Special Chef rank."

Bai Hu Zi: "Just thinking about it makes me feel utterly exhilarated."

Bai Hu Zi: "Liu Maoxing."

"Gulalala! By the way, future Special Chef! Would you be interested in becoming my son?"

Liu Maoxing: ""

What's going on? Liu Maoxing looked utterly bewildered—had he misread? How did someone randomly offer to adopt him? Is this a provocation? Tu Jian Mai: "Cough! Mr. Liu Maoxing, please don't get too angry."

Tu Jian Mai: "His personality is just like this! He… just loves adopting sons everywhere."

Tu Jian Mai: "You should check out One Piece! He's… the Four Emperors Bai Hu Zi from that series."

"After watching it, you'll understand his personality!"

Liu Maoxing: "So that's how it is… wait… you call him 'Old Man'?"

Stunned, Liu Maoxing felt he'd just spotted a blind spot.

Tu Jian Mai: "Yes! Just like your current situation."

Tu Jian Mai: "Old Man once offered to adopt me as his daughter! After watching One Piece and carefully considering it, I eventually accepted his offer."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Hei Mao Clan: "Black Cat makes a dazzling appearance! I am Bai Hu Zi's eldest daughter."

Xiao Mei Yan: "Quietly chime in—I'm also… then quickly sank back under."

Liu Maoxing: "... So that's how it is… but even so, I still must apologize!"

Seeing this, Liu Maoxing's emotions finally calmed down.

As long as it's not deliberately targeting him, that's fine.

Bai Hu Zi: "... Rejected? Gulalala! A bit disappointed, though."

Bai Hu Zi has countless times offered outsiders the chance to become his son, yet the number of rejections is likewise not small.

So seeing Liu Maoxing refuse, he felt only mild disappointment, with no other extreme reaction.

Liu Maoxing: "I'm truly sorry…"

Liu Maoxing: "I currently have no desire to take on a father without blood ties."

"I can only thank you for your kindness."

Tony Not the Richest: "Young Master Liu Maoxing! Quickly improve your culinary skills."

"Many in Mengong Society are eager to see luminous delicacies! Of course, if you need any help, feel free to ask anyone in the guild."

Naochihari: "If you want culinary exchange! Feel free to talk more with me."

"I believe our world's culinary philosophy can help your world! And your world's luminous cooking techniques have greatly inspired me."

Sakata Gintoki: "... So this is planning to combine luminous food with poisoning?"

Hei Qi Yihu: "!!! Terrifying! Terrifying!"

Gao Ban realm: "If these two could truly merge perfectly…"

"Who could possibly withstand that?"
