Jiang Zuo left, cheerfully carrying the dog leg. He felt that coming back was actually quite interesting.
Especially getting a dog leg for free in such a way.
Duoling Dogs weren't common, but they weren't exactly rare either. Most of the time, they needed to be well-protected, because it was easy for them to be targeted by some powerful figure.
The main reason was that Duoling Dogs were truly delicious.
He had killed many in the past. He even tried cooking them himself, but unfortunately, his culinary skills were terrible. Later, he just went and captured chefs to cook for him.
In reality, very few people knew that Duoling Dogs could feign illness. They just wanted to score some food and were content with a few treats.
This one was probably just looking for a tasty treat as well. Unfortunately, it ran into Jiang Zuo.
It was impossible to say how traumatized Qiqi was now. It probably wouldn't dare to feign illness for the rest of its life.
Because faking sickness would get your leg removed. It was too terrifying.
Jiang Zuo didn't store the dog leg away. Instead, he put it in a bag. He didn't plan on cooking it himself. As mentioned, his cooking skills were truly awful.
He had originally wanted to learn, but it was a pity. He studied for a long time without making any progress.
He could never figure out exactly how much "a pinch" of various seasonings was.
Carrying the dog leg, Jiang Zuo took out his phone and asked in the group chat: "Does anyone know how to cook?"
Fairy Mo Yan immediately replied: "I do, I do! My master always praises my amazing cooking skills."
Chi Xue Child also appeared: "Fellow Daoist, the food I make makes my senior brothers vomit. The person upstairs? Her cooking is lethal. We've already kicked her out."
Blade Master Hai Bian said: "Is it that the tastes of Demon Cultivators are different from ours? I've heard some Demon Cultivators even like to eat raw food."
Fairy Mo Yan sent a disdainful emoji: "Can you not misunderstand us Demon Cultivators? We're people too, we just use different Cultivation Techniques. We're all practicing Cultivation, why are you demonizing us?"
Jiang Zuo was helpless. These people were completely off-topic.
Just then, Liu Yiyi replied to Jiang Zuo: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, what are you trying to do? What kind of chef do you need? An Immortal Chef?"
Po Xiao: "The type of chef isn't important, as long as the food is delicious. It would be even better if they know how to prepare Duoling Dog."
Xiao Xiaomo sent a surprised emoji: "Duoling Dog, that sounds so familiar."
Blade Master Hai Bian sent a shocked emoji: "Duoling Dog? Fellow Daoist, you hunted a Duoling Dog? Duoling Dogs are very expensive."
Po Xiao: "No, I just took a dog leg. Besides, Duoling Dog meat is especially delicious."
Xiao Xiaomo: "I remember now! Big shot, you can't be the person who removed the leg from Miss Ximen's Qiqi, right?"
Chi Xue Child: "Miss Ximen?"
Chen Yi: "Ximen Linglong, the young mistress of the Spiritual Control Sect. She went to Market Division Two. A genius with a Cultivation of 1.4 who can summon a Tier Three Spirit Beast.
What's even more surprising is that after Qiqi's leg was removed, she actually thanked the person who did it."
The group chat immediately fell silent.
Then, Fairy Mo Yan: "I'm starting to get the feeling... did some kind of big shot sneak into our group?"
Liuyue Xue: "You were the last one to join. What right do you have to say that?"
Liu Yiyi: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, I know a fellow Daoist who has done a lot of research on food. He should be able to satisfy you."
Jiang Zuo got the person's contact information from Liu Yiyi and then dialed their number.
"Who is this?"
The voice on the other end was a bit lazy, as if they had just woken up.
Jiang Zuo didn't waste any words: "I have a Duoling Dog's hind leg here. I hope you can cook it for me. You name the price."
The person on the other end was stunned for a moment. "A Duoling Dog? Is it real or fake?"
"Real."
"Inexplicable Fate Restaurant. I'm here. If it's a real Duoling Dog, I'll cook it for you for free. In exchange, I want one-tenth of it."
Jiang Zuo agreed. As long as the person could make it taste good, he didn't mind.
Besides, one-tenth really wasn't much.
Jiang Zuo then arrived at Inexplicable Fate. It was a medium-sized restaurant with a pleasant, elegant, and quiet atmosphere. There was also outdoor seating on the side. It was a Western-style restaurant.
Jiang Zuo just glanced at it before walking in. There weren't many people inside.
"Welcome. How many in your party, sir?" a server asked as soon as he entered.
"I'm looking for someone. His name is Zhong Yiyang."
"Okay, I'll inform him for you, sir."
Before long, the server returned. "The owner asks you to meet him in the kitchen, sir. This way, please."
Jiang Zuo was then led to the kitchen. The kitchen was very clean, and a line of chefs stood to the side.
Only one young man was sitting in a chair. Jiang Zuo knew this had to be Zhong Yiyang.
Because he was the only one with Cultivation. His Cultivation wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. He was probably about to break through to Tier Two.
Jiang Zuo placed the dog leg in front of him and said, "I like it roasted whole. Can you do that?"
Zhong Yiyang asked, "Where did you get this leg?"
Jiang Zuo said lightly, "I removed it from the pet dog of the Spiritual Control Sect's young mistress."
Zhong Yiyang, still sitting, instantly stumbled and nearly fell off his chair. 'This guy has to be bluffing, right?'
'He dared to lay a hand on the Spiritual Control Sect's young mistress's pet dog?'
"I understand. You can go outside and wait," Zhong Yiyang said lightly.
After Jiang Zuo left, he immediately and frantically took out his phone and dialed Liu Yiyi's number. "Sister Liu, do you have any idea where this leg came from? You're trying to get me killed!
I'm already unlucky enough. I was tricked by a fox this morning, and now I have to risk my life today? I'm still so young, I don't even have a girlfriend, I…"
Huh? For real? The young mistress was willing?
Is this person really that incredible?
Alright, I understand."
After hanging up, Zhong Yiyang said, "Let's get to work! I, your boss, will be cooking personally today, and I'll teach you all a few tricks while I'm at it."
"Long live the boss!" The chefs all had excited looks on their faces.
Jiang Zuo went back to the dining area, found a corner table, and settled down to wait. If this person's cooking was truly good, waiting a whole day wouldn't be a problem.
In any case, nighttime was the best time to absorb the Moon Tear Bead, so he could afford to wait for the day.
Jiang Zuo was sitting in a corner, which was also by the window. He glanced outside in surprise, then silently picked up a magazine to hide his face.
Two women walked in. One of them was an acquaintance.
"Senior Sister, I really don't feel like eating right now." The voice came from right behind Jiang Zuo.
In other words, the two of them had sat down right behind him.
"My dear little Su Qi, what are you trying to do? If you keep this up, forget about improving your Cultivation—you might even suffer from Qigong Deviation. You have to make a clean break, or you'll just make things messier."
That's right. One of the two women who had come in was Su Qi, Jiang Zuo's wife.
Jiang Zuo never expected to run into her here. He had thought he might see her at places like Division Two.
'It seems this restaurant primarily caters to Cultivators.'
Su Qi said, aggrieved, "That bastard Jiang Zuo is divorcing me. How could I possibly be in the mood for Cultivation, let alone eating?"
"So what do you want to do? Keep hiding? Is this really a big deal?"
"No, I'm planning to sneak back later and steal the divorce papers. Then, I'll go back the next day acting as if nothing happened and have a good talk with him."
