    Poisonous mushrooms, poisonous herbs.

    There’s even an antidote.

    Xuan Jiu is well prepared.

    To avoid detection, he had Xiao Jinsheng help him put these poisons into the Realm.

    Just as he finished tidying up his poisons, Xuan Jiu’s rxed demeanor suddenly tensed up.

    "What’s wrong?" Xiao Jinsheng was the first to notice his change.

    "The kitchen contest has been moved up," Xuan Jiu sighed.

    He hurriedly checked to make sure his poisonous mushrooms weren’t left out.

    He raised his hand and used his superpower energy to pinch a few leaves.

    The leaves moved on their own without wind and floated outwards.

    "What’s that?" Xiao Jinsheng watched his actions in surprise. "Why do you use superpower to convey messages and shape them like leaves?"

    "Ingredients, naturally, to match my Divine Chef status," Xuan Jiu lifted his head proudly.

    "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s quickly teleport," Caicai urged.

    The Beastmen in this world were too much for him.

    Caicai didn’t particrly like staying here.

    "Family Head~" Xuan Jiu turned around, wrapping his arms around Xiao Jinsheng’s waist, half-hanging onto her: "Before we leave here, can we discuss something?"

    "What is it? Just say it," Xiao Jinsheng asked with a smile.

    "Can Caicai transform into a Half-Beastman, with Green Onion as the head chef? I’m worried the Beast God Cliff over there won’t let Caicai participate," Xuan Jiu expressed his concerns.

    "That’s it?" Caicai brushed it off: "Fox Father, what’s our rtionship, just wait and see, I’ll give you a surprise."

    When dealing with Xuan Jiu, Caicai’s attitude waspletely different from that towards Mo Jiao.

    With a shake, Caicai transformed into a young boy with white hair and fox ears, looking about twelve or thirteen.

    Even his voice became much clearer.

    Overall, he looked much more proper.

    Caicai, bearing a face thatbined the traits of Xiao Jinsheng and Xuan Jiu, struck Xuan Jiu’s neck with a spat: "Father, you’ve grown old. Isn’t it time to pass the title to me?"

    "Are you crazy?" Seeing Caicai with a face that was a blend of his and Xiao Jinsheng’s, Xuan Jiu was initially pleased.

    But seeing him act crazily with such a face, Xuan Jiu couldn’t stand it.

    Caicai ignored him.

    He waved the spat and dered, "From now on, I am the new Kitchen God!"

    "I don’t know him," Xuan Jiu said, looking down, and took Xiao Jinsheng along to sidestep Caicai.

    "I don’t know him either," Xiao Jinsheng nodded, quickening her pace to leave.

    "Don’t leave, you’re already here. Let me whip up a dish for you," Caicai waved the spat, chasing after them. "I really can be the Kitchen God!"

    This time participating in the Beast God Cliffpetition, Xuan Jiu didn’t bring many people.

    Just two teams, one of six trusted aides and another of ten guards.

    In the team of guards, there was one person who looked very familiar to Xiao Jinsheng.

    But when that person looked up at her, it was apletely unfamiliar face.

    Xiao Jinsheng elbowed Xuan Jiu, who was beside her.

    "What’s the matter?" Xuan Jiu immediately put on a serious demeanor whenever there were outsiders.

    "Look at that person, doesn’t he look like the Hedgehog Bro who argued with Caicai yesterday?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

    "Hedgehog Bro?" Xuan Jiu, hearing the nickname for the first time, looked puzzled.

    "It’s a honey badger," Xiao Jinsheng exined.

    "But his aura is clearly that of a rabbit," remarked Xuan Jiu.

    He thought for a moment, a slight glimmer in his red eyes, then summoned a trusted aide: "Go investigate."

    "As youmand," the aide nodded respectfully.

    Curiously, Xiao Jinsheng watched the departing aide’s back and asked Xuan Jiu, "How long have you been in the Beast God Forest?"

    Her and Xuan Jiu both had each other’s scent on them, for unknown reasons, which could shield them from some unknown force’s prying eyes.

    Thus, Xiao Jinsheng spoke with Xuan Jiu without restraint.

    "Two years," Xuan Jiu instinctively wanted to droop his ears and snuggle into Xiao Jinsheng’s arms.

    But he realized he was outside at the moment.

    Many outsiders were around.

    He hastily stood upright, putting on a serious face: "Two years."

    "Ugh... I haven’t seen you for two years," Xuan Jiu said, about to wail, but realizing he was outside, his expression instantly cooled.

    "Alright, alright, don’t say anything more," Xiao Jinsheng smirked and reminded him.

    With Xuan Jiu’s disposition.

    At this moment, pretending to be aloof.

    It’s quite difficult.

    Better to just keep quiet.

    To teleport to the Beast God Cliff requires initiating the teleportation array in advance.

    But Xiao Jinsheng didn’t have to worry about those things.

    The people of Reishi Royal City would prepare and activate the teleportation energy.

    Xuan Jiu Royal City had prepared some specialty dishes.

    To maintain the freshness of the dishes, they were directly carried in pots and soil.

    All of them were piled up inside the teleportation array, guarded by the Strong Bull Beastman.

    Just at this time, Xiao Jinsheng discovered that due to her and Xuan Jiu having each other’s scent on them.

    In the Star System Map, Xuan Jiu’s once dimmed ount lit up again.

    To facilitatemunication, Xiao Jinsheng simply created a three-person group chat.

    Her, Xuan Jiu, Caicai.

    All members of the Divine Chef group: 3 people.

    Xiao Jinsheng: If there’s anything you can’t say, you can talk here.

    Xuan Jiu: That’s great~

    Xuan Jiu: I’m about to burst from holding it in

    Not letting him chat happily was practically torture.

    Fortunately, Xiao Jinsheng understood him.

    Xuan Jiu reached out, wrapping an arm around Xiao Jinsheng’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.

    "So many small moves, aren’t you afraid others will see us?" Xiao Jinsheng teased.

    Xuan Jiu ’reprimanded’ her with a serious face: "We are legitimate and have a contract."

    Xuan Jiu: No need for me to exin, just look at the eyes of the people around looking at Caicai.

    Xiao Jinsheng followed his gaze.

    Realizing that the gossip and curiosity transcended species.

    Because Caicai’s transformationbined her and Xuan Jiu’s facial features.

    It caused the residents of Reishi Royal City to imagine many things.

    They spected about Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai’s identities in secret.

    But none dared to discuss it openly.

    Until the teleportation array was activated, Xuan Jiu coolly extended a hand to Xiao Jinsheng: "Queen, please."

    The Beastmen busy around immediately eximed in surprise.

    Those quick to respond repeatedly bowed to Xiao Jinsheng: "Greetings, Queen."

    After greeting Xiao Jinsheng, these people then looked at Caicai, their gaze even more distinct.

    The Queen just appeared.

    Then this one, who looks like both the Queen and the King, must certainly be the Prince, right?

    Confirming the identity, a Beastman hurriedly snatched the spat in Caicai’s hand: "Prince, let me hold that for you."

    "Hey, hey, hey, give it back, that’s my precious spat, no one can touch it," Caicai quickly snatched the spat back.

    He held the spat close, afraid others might discover its secret.

    This was his exchanged tool spat.

    The dishes made with this spat, even in water, tasted heavenly.

    Caicai did not trust Xuan Jiu’s cooking skills.

    He nned to rely on this spat to help him win first ce as the Divine Chef.

    But upon arriving at the Beast God Cliff, others hadn’t yet stood firm when Caicai noticed a figure inside another teleportation array.

    He excitedly tugged at Xiao Jinsheng and Xuan Jiu: "We’ve won; we’re sure to win!"

    "Look over there; who is that?" Caicai pointed towards the adjacent teleportation array, where a man with gentle demeanor and a pair of azure eyes gazed back at them.
