Dragon's Origin

Chapter 108: Gourmet Storm (Part 1)

Wang Sheng's assassination on the street was a slap in the face for Worry-Free City. Because Wang Sheng was a resident of the inner city of Worry-Free City, according to the broad rules of Worry-Free City, once someone entered the inner city, they could not be chased and killed, even if he was in the outer city at the time.

Strictly speaking, being assassinated in the outer city was somewhat justifiable, after all, the rules weren't that detailed. But Worry-Free City was still thoroughly humiliated.

Worry-Free City took no action after learning the identities of those assassins a few days ago. Now that Wang Sheng had just announced the secret, the two representatives of the Dai family were assassinated on the street right after leaving the auction house. No one would believe that Worry-Free City didn't have a hand in it.

But Wang Sheng liked Worry-Free City's style. He would do back exactly what others did to him, which suited his temperament. Wang Sheng was essentially a warrior, an elite sniper, and definitely someone who took the initiative to attack. All the disguise was just for that final, fatal blow.

Being ambushed right after leaving the auction house meant that they hadn't had time to send the news they heard at the auction back to the Dai family. That was hilarious. The secret that the Dai family had spent a lot of money on was still a secret to them. It was simply too funny.

The other families would definitely go back to investigate immediately. As for whether they would share this secret with the Dai family, no one could say for sure. Maybe some small families would want to rely on the Dai family, who knows?

Who did it? Wang Sheng didn't ask, but everyone knew. Everyone could guess who did it, but no one would say. Even the Dai family themselves might know who did it, but they had to swallow this bitter pill.

Very good! Wang Sheng liked it. Just for this, it was worth having a few more drinks with the old butler.

"Also, I helped you pay 20,000 gold coins to the Assassin Hall." The butler continued after clinking glasses with Wang Sheng, "You killed Ling Ba and his gang in the outer city, and many people saw it. Rules are rules, and you have to pay a fine. You don't have to worry about this matter in the future, and no one will dare to make trouble."

Killing people in the outer city required punishment, which, for Worry-Free City, meant gold coins. The minimum was 1,000 gold coins per person, with the amount increasing depending on the target's cultivation level and importance, with the highest exceeding 100,000.

Ling Ba and his gang of more than twenty people only cost 20,000 gold coins, which was calculated according to the lowest fine, and even discounted and rounded down. It couldn't be cheaper.

Wang Sheng appreciated it and had another drink with the old butler. Then he asked the two chefs from Yu Baozhai to start serving the dishes.

Why was the butler willing to come to Wang Sheng's place? Because he could eat different delicacies every day. And they were the kind of delicacies he had never eaten before, so delicious that he felt like he could swallow his tongue. If everyone didn't have limited stomach capacity, the butler would have been happy to stay at Wang Sheng's place and eat non-stop.

"Starting tomorrow, the City Lord's Mansion will also send two chefs over." Including today, and before today, because Wang Sheng was going to announce the secret of Yuanhun improvement, neither the City Lord's Mansion nor other forces had placed any more people around him. Now that the secret had been announced, the butler couldn't wait to arrange people around Wang Sheng.

For no other reason than the fact that Wang Sheng's food was too delicious. The City Lord had been looking forward to it for several days and couldn't be kept waiting any longer. The butler even felt that even if Wang Sheng didn't know any secrets and couldn't enter and exit the Thousand Devil Land, his good cooking skills alone would be enough for him to gain a firm foothold in Worry-Free City.

The butler had never realized that his City Lord was such a foodie, and even more helplessly, he might now be falling in that direction as well.

The next day, Wang Sheng was speechless. The two chefs from Yu Baozhai were replaced, and six new chefs appeared in his mansion. Not only did the City Lord's Mansion send two, Yu Baozhai replaced two, but even Baoqing Yutang inserted two.

Wang Sheng didn't care. The chefs sent by anyone were all there to learn, and it saved Wang Sheng from having to do it himself. Why would Wang Sheng cook delicious food? It was entirely to complete the Gluttony Transformation. Of course, satisfying a little bit of his appetite was also a side effect.

In the past few days, he had been able to visualize new delicacies every day, and Wang Sheng's little Chiwen had improved dozens of times. Coupled with the upgrade of the little Chiwen due to the absorption of the foreign spiritual energy of the Fifth Stage assassin, the total number of little Chiwen that had been upgraded had exceeded two hundred. Wang Sheng's state was completely different from before his injury.

No one felt that Wang Sheng's change was abnormal, especially after he announced the secret of Yuanhun improvement. Since it was a Yuanhun that could be upgraded from the root, it was perfectly fine to be able to upgrade from unranked to the First Stage.

The Yuan Mirror would only show the most primitive state of the Yuanhun, so no matter how many times it was scanned, it would always be the initial unranked carp. No one wanted to see Wang Sheng's Yuanhun anymore.

The high-level members of the major families received the messenger bird letters sent back by their respective representatives yesterday evening, which clearly stated the reasons. After receiving the news, the relevant families immediately went to the records of the clan to look for clues, trying to find some traces. This was news about a Yuanhun that could be upgraded, which family wouldn't want it?

As for the few families that didn't participate back then, they were now trying to contact the other families in every possible way. The family hadn't realized it hundreds of years ago, but now that they knew, if they still couldn't participate, it would be the dereliction of duty of the family's leader.

Of course, it was even more important to determine the authenticity as soon as possible. Wang Sheng had a personal demonstration here, and the Song family also nodded and admitted that this had happened, and even said that their Nine-Star Yuanhun had been snatched away by the Dai family, so it shouldn't be fake.

Now everyone wanted to know if that Nine-Star Yuanhun could really be upgraded. But until now, the Dai family was still completely in the dark. They were still wondering why their disciples sent to Worry-Free City hadn't sent back any news.

It wasn't until a few days later that the Dai family got the news indirectly. It turned out that their disciples were assassinated on the street outside Worry-Free City, after Wang Sheng announced the secret. This news almost drove the Dai family's patriarch crazy!

The other families seemed to have agreed to deal with the Dai family together, and blockaded the Dai family. At least for a whole month, the Dai family was like a blind man, and didn't know what was happening in Worry-Free City at all.

The Dai family couldn't send anyone to Worry-Free City to question Wang Sheng again. Wang Sheng was in the inner city, and he might not give them face to say it again. Moreover, the major families and Worry-Free City would never want to see the Dai family know the inside story.

Under helplessness, the Dai family had to compromise. No one knew what specific conditions they agreed to, but they definitely paid a high price to learn the secret that Wang Sheng said.
