"C-Culinary O-Overlord?" Heng Wu swallowed a mouthful of his saliva as he swerved his head to threw the other party with an agitated and emotional look.

Gulp!

What is an overlord?

Those were existences that stood at the apex of all, ruling and dominating with their sheer power alone! And in the field of culinary, an overlord would meant that this Duan Li was someone who knew everything there was to know about food, ingredients, preparation and its method of cooking!

Experts from the caliber of these seven Saints Chefs would never make a single mistake in their judgement, but for these very same eccentric individuals to be defeated and kneeling in awe like that while looking at the other party in astonishment, there was no mistaking it, they had all acknowledged Duan Li as the Culinary Overlord!

For the second time since the very first Ancestor or the original founder of the Seven Saints Culinary restaurant foundation, another Culinary Overlord was born!

The others that were currently looking at them from behind did not managed to heard anything, thus they were still confused with the whole situation.

Fei Liquan on the other hand, could not help but ponder upon seeing this entire scene, "Was he so bad in food decryption technique that all the seven Saints Chefs fell on their knees and bottoms like that? Or could they possibly fell down in sheer anger because the other party had just cursed all their ancestors down to their very predecessors?" he thought as he cupped his chin.

Whatever.

"Alright, I can see that he is bad in food decryption, but give him some face! Everyone's reaction is too exagerated and he might cry over this!" Fei Liquan said in a frown.

"Furthermore, its my turn now, so hurry up because its getting late, or my father would scold me again!" he added.

When the seven Saints Chefs heard this, they were still under the effects of being dumbstrucked by Duan Li and didn't know how to deal with the current situation. Thus, they turned to look at Heng Wu.

Ahem!

"Well, since it has been the long-lasting tradition that food decryption battle should be carried out until the end, let us just continue.. even though the winner has already been decided, we had to stick with the procedure after all.." Heng Wu said awkwardly towards the Saints Chefs.

The seven Saints Chefs all nodded to each other before standing up.

Indeed, what the other party just said was correct! As the most reputable restaurant in the whole Jiu Empire, they must have the absolute integrity in everything they do, or they might lose some recognition!

"Heh! Don't embarrass me like that, let's just get on with it. And you, Duan Li or something, just prepare yourself and don't sulk over this later on okay? The result is only natural you know? Heheh!" Fei Liquan said while not forgetting to 'remind' Duan Li of the 'inevitable' outcome.

Duan Li chuckled, "Its fine, I am okay with it, so just go."

With a proud look, Fei Liquan stepped forward and as soon as he approached the seven Saints Chefs, the spiritual Qi barrier encompassed them within, just like Duan Li before.

Wengg!!

...

Shen Lu then swiftly ran towards Duan Li and nudged the latter by the ribs, "Hey brother! What did you do back then for all the seven Saints Chefs to be kneeling in front of you like that?"

Duan Li smiled somewhat in a sinister manner, "Ehh, It's nothing much.. I just listed all the ingredients within the food that I ate, the exact proportions used, and the method to prepare as well as how to cook them." Duan Li answered casually.

HUH??

Hearing this, his party broke out into a loud clamor.

"What? You meant that you cleared all 3 stages of the food decryption? And not just listing the ingredients out, you also listed how they were made?" Guo He repeated Duan Li's words with widened eyes, his breath hastened.

I know a little bit about food decryption.. and the process should be the same as pill decryption..

But if the Lord could do the same thing with pills as he did with food.. wouldn't he be able to decrypt that mysterious pill that my family has passed down onto me before?

Decrypting it word by word..

"Yup. Oh! And by the way, I also decrypted everyone's food before while I was at it. This way, we don't have to pay anything at all tonight!" Duan Li continued.

EH?

"We are eating for free?!!" they shouted all at the same time with their eyes shining.

Wang Xiolun whom was mostly silent all these while found that a little bit weird, so he inquiried, "How did you do that my Lord?"

The others also nodded at this, feeling extremely curious as to how their Lord did it, because Duan Li had never tried their food before, so how could he even decrypt those?

'Was decrypting food without eating them even possible?' they thought with an agitated and excited look.

Realizing this, Duan Li swiftly came up with an excuse.

"Well, let's just say that my nose is quite sensitive.." he answered with an awkward laugh.

After all, he couldn't possibly reveal them his cheating abilities, or they might throw him a fit!

'Your nose is quite sensitive? Are you a dog?' Shen Murong did not believe him, and he knew that Duan Li did not want to disclose such a well-guarded secret so easily.

Sneaking a glance towards his mother whom was currently just sitting leisurely, he saw his mother also looking at him at this moment, giving him a wide grin with a thumbs up.

'As expected of my son!' was what seemed to be conveyed behind that face of her's, which made Duan Li quite happy.

Of all people, only perhaps his mother knew everything about him and his abilities, and that was why she was so confident in him.

...

Wengg!!

Fei Liquan walked towards them with big strides, his hands behind his back, and his face revealing a proud smile, the kind of expression that hinted he had nailed it big time!

"The food decryption was a little bit tougher this time around, but in the end against my godlike capabilities, I still managed to decrypt the Premium Grapevine Fruit Icecream up untill the second stage!" he said.

Oh?

'This fellow is at least legitimately good in this field.. unfortunately for him, I have my own abilities that lets me cheat!' Duan Li chuckled while feeling a genuine respect for the other party as well as pity at the same time.

Just from the results of the tetra soul sense that he got, he knew that all those listed ingredients were blended in so perfectly at the right ratio such that it was almost impossible to tell them apart!

Therefore, from this, Duan Li could tell that this Fei Liquan was actually really talented!

"Unfortunately, the Horned-bull Flying Sheep dish was far too difficult! I only managed to decrypt the first stage, and even then, I had used up all three chances!" Fei Liquan shook his head in lamentation, and Duan Li also nodded upon this, agreeing with him.

He saw the results of the scan of this dish as well, and all the ingredients used were made to eliminate the taste of each other in order to bring out the taste of the tenderloin meat to its pinnacle!

With such food preparation, unless one was really gifted by the Heavens, they wouldn't be able to tell any differences at all!

Clap! Clap!

"Alright, its time for the result!" Heng Wu clapped his hands to attract their attention.

Ahem!

"The winner is.. Duan Li!" he revealed out loud.

Silence..

The crowd was so quiet that a fart would definitely be heard if one did not held it in.

"Hehe.. Hahaha!"

Fei Liquan started to laugh after a while until his stomach was hurting and his eyes tearing up.

"Now that was the most funniest and effective prank I ever experienced! Why did you guys have to be so cruel? Aren't you giving him a false sense of accomplishment only to destroy it a moment later? Geez!" he said as he shook his head, thinking that the old butler and the saints chefs were just too naughty to play such pranks on them.

He tapped onto Duan Li's shoulder as he encouraged the latter, "Don't take it too personally, they only wanted to liven up the atmosphere a little bit, so cheer up okay?"

Hais!

Duan Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment.

"No.. we're not playing around, the winner is really him!" Heng Wu pointed towards Duan Li.

"Eeyyy~ tsk tsk tsk! That cannot be. He is just a beginner that had never decrypted food like these before, so how could he possibly win against me, the best of all Culinary Seer in this restaurant?" he said casually.

Heng Wu sighed and everyone else also did not know what to say so that they could convince him.

Tap!

It was at this moment that one of the Saints Chefs stepped forward and took off his mask.

"F-First Elder!" the other Saints Chefs including the old butler Heng Wu were surprised by this.

The reason why they wore the mask was to conceal their identities for two reasons; one was so that no one could pester them on how to cook delicious food, and the other was to protect themselves from becoming the victim of kidnapping!

"It's fine." the First Elder said as he waved his hand dismissively and continued, "I trust everyone here has good moral standings and would not divulge our identities to others, am I right?" he asked with a confident smile.

"Eh? Of course! Why would we even do that?" Duan Li and his party replied.

Hearing their response, the First elder chuckled and then turned around to instruct the other Saints Chefs, "You guys can open your masks too."

As they took off their masks, a series of gasps could be heard from Duan Li's side.

All the seven Saints Chefs were extremely old!

Eventhough their Qi signature was obvious that they were all only in the Golden Core realm, the aura they were radiating out right now felt so archaic and vicissitudinous!

However, there was something weird about them right now, as their gazes seemed to be locked onto Duan Li, their faces flushed red, as if seeing their long-lost father from ages ago.

This caused the latter becoming nervous as he instinctively took a step back, "W-What is it?" he asked warily as he covered his chest, feeling that they were ogling at him in an excessive manner!

"Ah! Pardon our rudeness!" the First Elder made a dry cough as he realized Duan Li had misunderstood them.

Cough! Cough!

"Young man of the Fei Clan, while you are indeed impressive, and we had never seen such a talent like yours before in the hundreds of years since we lived, this is a battle that you had clearly lost." he said to Fei Liquan with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of an expert.

"W-What? No! I refuse to believe it! How could that be? I demand a proper explanation!" Fei Liquan shouted, his mind in a mess.

The First Elder shook his head slowly with closed eyes, and then turned his head to look outside and stare at the full moon.

"Before, you were indeed the best of all Culinary Seers we have ever met. In the span of just 3 years, you've managed to outclass every other Culinary Seers on our lists, even her, Meng Yue over there.. we have never expected anyone to beat her previous record before.. but you managed to do it!" he said.

And then, he turned towards Fei Liquan once more, but this time, he stared right into the eyes of the other party before he continued.

"But, do you dare to claim that you are the winner in front of the Culinary Overlord?!"

BAM!

It was at this moment that it suddenly hit Fei Liquan, and his body began to tremble as he stepped back bit by bit, his countenance pale as if he had just saw a ghost and pointed towards Duan Li with trembling hands.

"C-Culinary O-Overlord? H-Him?"

Padah!

Fei Liquan dropped to his knees, all his hopes of winning against the other party was snuffed at this moment, replacing that, was a deep despair and helplessness!

Three years ago, when he first came to this restaurant, he fell in love with the food they served, and from that moment on, he became dedicated to become the best Culinary Seer ever!

Day and night, he would go towards the colossal library that his clan has, and studied innumerable amounts of ingredients used to make food and pills. Not only that, he had also spent quite a huge fortune on procuring rare ingredients just to taste them and solidifying his foundations, even at the cost of being reprimanded by his father numerous times.

All of it, he had done it all in order to achieve and obtain that title that ruled over all the Culinary Seers, the Culinary Overlord!

Never in his wildest dreams, that the title he had put his all into pursuing, would now fall to someone else!

His heart broken, tears started to roll down his cheek. And as if the Heavens were feeling his deep remorse, the clear night suddenly turned cloudy, and light drizzle fell off from the night sky, covering the whole Jiu Empire with the sadness of a lone man!

He had once overheard the elders within his clan gossiping about him being incompetent and a fool, unsuitable to be the heir of a prestigious and important clan like the Fei Clan, and he knew that they were correct.

He didn't know why, but his sense of logic just did not connect with others, and when he found his passion in food decryption that eventful day, he thought to himself that maybe, just maybe, if he could become the Culinary Overlord, he would at least not bring shame to his father!

Kuh!

Grabbing his chest that was filled with thousand of needles poking at his heart right now, he asked Duan Li.

"How? How did you managed to do it?"

Duan Li was feeling a little bit guilty at this stage, but he can't possibly reveal his secret, and he can't give him a different answer than what he told the others before, so scratching the back of his head slowly, he awkwardly said;

"Well, my nose is quite good, I only have to smell things a little bit and would immediately know what it was made from.."

Puu!!

Fei Liquan spitted out a mouthful of blood and dropped to the ground, his ears twitching as if it could not believe what words had just entered through it.

"Ancestor.. forgive your predecessor here for being incompetent.."

Puu!!

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Fei Liquan finally fainted and lost his consciousness.
