The next day,
Chen Shu had intended to continue his decadent lifestyle in the dormitory until the training camp began,
but Da Li came to find him, wanting to return to Nanjiang City to go into seclusion for cooking.
With no other choice, Chen Shu had to leave the dormitory,
as for the various furniture within, considering he might return later, he had shown restraint...
"Da Li, how have these past few days been?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, looking at the invigorated Da Li.
"Heh heh~~~"
Da Li didn't answer, merely standing there and smiling uncontrollably...
"..."
Chen Shu rolled his eyes, no longer wanting to know the other party's answer.
The two of them used an ultra-long-distance teleportation, returning directly to their apartment building in Nanjiang City.
The people around were startled, but upon seeing it was Chen Shu, they calmed down, as this fellow's sudden appearances were common.
"When do you want the Bat Emperor's flesh and blood?"
Chen Shu nodded to the neighbors and looked at Da Li, saying, "First, there's less than one-fifth of the flesh and blood left."
"What the heck! You ate that fast?!"
Da Li's eyes widened, a pained expression in them. This was Beast Emperor flesh and blood, and he wasn't even allowed to cook it before eating...
"I didn't eat any!"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "Such a large quantity, but I didn't dare to eat a single bite. It all went to my contracted spirits."
"Is that so..."
Da Li rubbed his chin and said, "One-fifth is enough for me to study."
Chen Shu patted his shoulder and encouraged him,
"Put some effort into it, cook up a dark dish, preferably one that can poison a Legend."
"..."
Da Li glanced at him and said, "A defective Beast Emperor corpse, and you want to poison a full-power Beast Emperor? Do you think I'm a wishing well?"
"Otherwise, how would your superb cooking skills be showcased?"
"Forget it, I'll do my best."
Da Li shrugged and said, "But you'd better not get your hopes up too high."
This was an unfamiliar territory for him, completely a case of fumbling in the dark, and the chance of producing results was not high...
"It's fine, if this isn't enough, I'll get you another one next time."
Chen Shu nodded, not putting any pressure on Da Li,
then he seemed to recall something and said,
"Oh right, I have a training camp to attend recently, do you want to join me?"
"No need, I'll be at home researching the King's flesh and blood." Da Li shook his head and refused.
"That's fine too."
The training camp's environment was harsh, and with various training missions, it was indeed not a place for research.
Chen Shu asked again, "The Space Rabbit will be going with me. Shall I give you the Bat Emperor's flesh and blood now?"
"Throw it into the Spiritual Chef Association in Nanjiang City."
"Huh? Do we have such an association in our city?"
The world order had collapsed, and the World Spiritual Chef Association had long since disbanded, its headquarters even destroyed. However, within the peaceful Hua Nation, there were still Spiritual Chef Associations, situated in various major bustling cities.
"Of course, we do."
Da Li nodded and said, "Especially since I'm currently residing in Nanjiang City, they specifically set one up for me."
"Where is it located?"
"Near the black market."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them teleported to a public restroom at the entrance of the black market...
"Why is it in a restroom again..."
"Spawn point."
The two calmly exited the public restroom, immediately drawing the attention of the crowd,
after all, they were two world-famous figures, especially Chen Shu, who had just annihilated a Beast Emperor, his fame was at its peak.
As the crowd stirred, Chen Shu teleported again, disappearing from everyone's sight and appearing at the entrance of the Spiritual Chef Association.
"This place? It's quite luxuriously decorated..."
Chen Shu looked at the building ahead, a hint of surprise in his eyes,
"Of course, I'm the God of Cookery, after all."
Da Li adjusted his clothes and strode into the association.
After a while,
Chen Shu left the association alone, all the Bat Emperor's flesh and blood having been placed into storage.
As a Spiritual Chef Association, the storage facility naturally had devices for preserving good ingredients.
As for Da Li, he had already begun his seclusion for research...
"Little Chen, you're putting such fragrant food in a place like this? Aren't you afraid of it being stolen?"
The little sprite sat on Chen Shu's shoulder and said, "I have a place that's absolutely safe!"
"What?"
"Here."
It pointed to its own stomach, simultaneously licking its lips and starting to drool profusely...
"Forget it."
Chen Shu shook his head. As for the safety of the Bat Emperor's flesh and blood, he wasn't too worried.
Firstly, besides the two of them, no one knew that the association had Beast Emperor flesh and blood.
At the same time, to ensure Da Li's safety, the association's Vice President was an official Golden Beast Tamer, capable of handling most situations.
As for a King-tier expert, risking their life just to steal some meat? That would be pure madness...
After all, while Beast Emperor flesh and blood was rare, its utility wasn't that significant, unless it was a divine skill or Beast Emperor essence, which might drive people to take risks.
"I'm going back too."
Chen Shu stretched his arms. Just as he was about to teleport, his phone rang.
"Hmm? A Liang?"
He was slightly taken aback, answered the call, and before he could even speak, he heard A Liang's agitated voice:
"Chen Pi, you damn scoundrel, you actually killed a Beast Emperor?! We're truly suffering!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, "Is it that dramatic..."
"Where are you? The three of us are already out."
"So soon? Did you get a reduced sentence?"
"??"
A Liang's eyes widened and he said, "Reduced sentence my foot! We came out of another dimension!"
"I see."
Chen Shu smiled, thinking of A Liang's trio, and felt a surge of excitement, saying,
"Nanjiang City, come quickly! I'll treat you to a grand meal!"
...
At nighttime,
Chen Shu sat alone at a roadside stall, having already ordered a full spread of various vegetarian dishes...
The lights were dim, and he kept his head down, so no one recognized him.
At this moment, Chen Shu's gaze shifted, looking into the distance.
He saw three people, carrying large bags and looking travel-worn, arriving at this location.
At this moment, the leading youth, seemingly out of carelessness, accidentally let a package spill, dropping several Golden-tier medicinal herbs.
Instantly, people's gazes turned towards them, surprised by how wealthy these three were!
The leading youth crouched down to pick them up, but more medicinal herbs accidentally fell out.
"Holy crap!"
Passing pedestrians staggered, shock and hidden greed in their eyes,
but upon seeing the appearance of the three, the onlookers' minds jolted, and they quickly suppressed their greed.
A Liang's Beast Taming team had already gained considerable fame, not only for hunting various fierce beasts but also for occasionally employing sting operations...
Initially, some people did fall for it, but now everyone had learned to give them a wide berth...
At this moment, A Liang leisurely tidied up the herbs, and with Xiao Xing and Old Wang, he came to Chen Shu's side.
A Liang grumbled to himself,
"Sigh, Old Wang, is your bird's space so small now? You have to make us personally carry them. These resources are truly heavy."
"?"
Chen Shu glanced at A Liang, seeing through the other's intentions, and calmly said,
"I have Beast Emperor corpses."
