Chapter 99: Raiden Shogun and the Dark Cuisine

Chapter 99: Raiden Shogun and the Dark Cuisine

"Kun egg, salt, tomato, water..."

Raiden Ei couldn't resist stepping forward to see what the Raiden Shogun was tinkering with.

"When did you start learning how to cook, Shogun?"

Watching as the entire kun egg was put into the pot, followed by an entire pack of salt, and then tossing in a whole tomato...

Raiden Ei felt that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. The steps seemed right, and the ingredients and seasonings appeared fine, so what exactly was giving her this odd feeling?

Could it be that the Shogun added too much water?

Where there is a Wolong, within three steps there must be a Phoenix Chick.

Kong: "..."

Raiden Ei and Raiden Shogun's cooking skills are equally matched. If Raiden Ei were to cook, the result wouldn't be any different from Raiden Shogun's.

Kong: Is there a possibility that the tomato needs to be cut, and what on earth is an entire kun egg?

"Shogun, are you learning how to cook?"

"Ei, please don't disturb me. Kong should like this."

Raiden Ei: "..."

Kong: "..."

Outside, Kong followed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to the most luxurious hotel in Heaven Dou City.

As soon as they entered, the front desk and the "boss" gave Kong strange looks.

Isn't this the person who just had a meal with the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder?

Wait a minute, is this the young miss?

When they saw Ning Rongrong, the looks directed at Kong became even stranger.

After the meal, Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "Kong, this is the best restaurant in Heaven Dou City. You didn't seem to enjoy it much. Was the food not to your taste?"

Kong's mouth twitched. Could he say that he had already eaten two meals and wasn't hungry at all?

"Earlier, I ran into your father and Sword Douluo, and we also ate at this restaurant."

Kong said quietly.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

Well, no wonder those people were giving Kong strange looks earlier—it turns out he had just been here not too long ago!

After a moment of silence, Ning Rongrong said, "After Zhuqing and I left Shrek Academy, we returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. You wouldn't believe it, but my father and Grandfather Jian have already helped Zhuqing break off her engagement!"

At this point, Ning Rongrong was still very happy.

"Kong, what are your plans now?"

Kong was around the same age as her. If he wasn't studying, what should he do?

"I don't really know what I should do. I'll probably travel around the Douluo Continent, looking for opportunities to break through."

Kong shook his head, thought for a moment, and said.

A minor Spirit Saint isn't much. If he wasn't indifferent to the Asura God and the Killing God Domain, he would've considered visiting the Slaughter City by now.

With his physical strength and power, wouldn't he dominate the Slaughter City?

This world is indeed very exciting. Hmm, if not for these beautiful young ladies, the excitement would be reduced by at least ninety percent. This is a continent of love. Without love, without cultivating spirit power, it would be utterly dull.

Traveling the Douluo Continent, while searching for opportunities to break through, and falling in love—it's delightful.

"Kong, you're still so young. What's the point of traveling around the Douluo Continent? Shouldn't you be finding a school and starting a never-ending romance?"

Kong was stunned for a moment, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. My goodness, he thought Ning Rongrong was going to tell him to study hard, but instead, she came out with this.

Is the purpose of joining an academy just to fall in love?

Is she serious!

But she isn't wrong. Advanced Spirit Master academies typically have students over eighteen years old. At their age, isn't falling in love quite normal?

Of course, this is also common in Intermediate Spirit Master academies.

Douluo Continent, where ordinary people tend to marry and have children early, Spirit Masters, due to the nature of their spirit power, develop more quickly both physically and mentally.

"A never-ending romance?"

Kong mused to himself: Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong, are you really directing this idea at me?

But Kong already has a family!

"Wait for me a moment..."

After saying this, without giving Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing a chance to respond, Kong stood up and walked towards the door.

"???"

The two women exchanged glances, a bit puzzled.

Kong didn't seem like he was trying to "escape."

Not long after, Kong returned, leading a figure dressed in purple. Her face was slightly confused—just a moment ago, she had been holding a somewhat blackened spatula, and then she was suddenly "summoned" by Kong.

When Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing saw this figure, their brows furrowed, eyes filled with confusion.

Today, the Raiden Shogun had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, wore a purple long dress, and still had her "geta" sandals on her feet.

Ever since Kong broke through to the Spirit Saint level, the Shogun rarely wore her original battle attire when not in combat. Instead, she wore the clothes that Kong had bought for Ei…

After putting away the somewhat blackened spatula, the Raiden Shogun let Kong hold her hand as they walked toward the restaurant.

She didn't know what Kong was planning, but she felt a faint excitement in her heart. When she returned to the Plane of Euthymia, she would have something to talk about with Ei.

"Who is she?"

Ning Rongrong glanced at the Raiden Shogun and then looked down at her own toes. She felt confused, puzzled, and her face suddenly turned pale.

How could it be possible? How could someone be even more... than Zhu Zhuqing?

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing again, only to see Zhu Zhuqing patting her chest as if relieved. This made Ning Rongrong feel even worse!

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't see her own toes, and although she wasn't as… as this purple-haired woman, she wasn't one to back down either!

But Ning Rongrong was different; she couldn't compare at all, leaving her feeling like crying without tears. Could it be that Kong likes slimes… cough, cough.

"Let me introduce you two—this is the Raiden Shogun, the one I will never part from."

Kong smiled, speaking with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, a spark of light flickered in the Raiden Shogun's usually wooden eyes, and a smile, rare in her centuries of existence, appeared on her face.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing instantly "petrified." Although they had already suspected, hearing Kong personally confirm it still left them struggling to accept the reality!

"I was just casually mentioning it—are you serious?"

Ning Rongrong was utterly stunned, her gaze vacant.

"I am Raiden Shogun, though you may also call me…"

"Ahem…"

Kong quickly pulled the Raiden Shogun aside. Why was this dear wife of his being so earnest?

"Kong, is your throat bothering you? Do you need me to make you some soup…?"

"No, that won't be necessary."

Kong quickly refused. He had experienced Ei's cooking skills before, and the Raiden Shogun's culinary abilities were likely even worse!

When he "summoned" the Raiden Shogun just now, she was holding a somewhat blackened spatula. On second thought, was she cooking?

The Raiden Shogun… really can't cook!
