Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 56 Your meat must taste very tough
It’s a pity that there is no if…

During his days of leisurely wandering in the world, Zhongli chose to devote himself to every moment, but never easily revealed his true strength. This was a basic principle he set for himself.

In reality, the main reason behind this was Zhongli's aversion to trouble. In his view, great power would only bring more attention and discussion. To him, power only needed to ensure his immortality. But honestly, who could truly kill him?
If he were a demon god at this time, Zhongli would not be intolerant of such trivial matters. However, when wandering the mortal world, he chose the name "Zhongli" instead of Morax, the God of Precious Gold and King of Rock.

As an ordinary person, Zhongli would rather explore this strange yet familiar Douqi continent from the perspective, emotions and identity of an ordinary person, and appreciate its splendor and scenery.

"Then... how about I add one more copy of 'The Extreme of Wind: Sunset' which is also of the advanced Xuan rank?" Yun Yun only asked tentatively. In fact, with her status, she could never teach these two supreme skills of the Yunlan Sect to others. If this matter was reported to Yunshan, she would certainly suffer a severe punishment.

However, during the time that Yunshan was in seclusion, no one except herself could meet the old sect leader Yunshan in person.

Although this is true, Yun Yun, who has a strong sense of belonging to the sect, would not really do such a thing.

Zhongli shook his head slowly again, a faint smile on his face: "Not interested."

"Forget it, since you have no interest in fighting skills and the like, then I will do as you say and give you a contract of commitment." Yun Yun said with a little anger.

Although the two high-level fighting skills in the sect were preserved, his most powerful trump card was treated with such contempt. The person in front of him was obviously weaker than him, but now he had to humbly beg for his protection. Anyone would inevitably feel unhappy.

"Oh?" Zhongli's interest was immediately piqued at the mention of the contract. After all, the signing and successful completion of each contract meant that the wear and tear on the Heart of the Rock God could be repaired a little.

"I agree to do three things for you, but the premise is that these three things must not touch my bottom line. The three promises made by a Douhuang powerhouse should be able to meet your needs, right?" Yun Yun slowly stretched out three fingers, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone.

"So, where is your bottom line?" Wendy quietly took control of her body, then asked softly with a playful smile.

"What do you mean?!" Yun Yun's voice was mixed with a barely perceptible hint of anger.

"You once mentioned three things that must not cross your boundaries, but how can I know where they are? Your bottom line, until you clearly define it, is nothing more than a secret hidden deep in your heart. Can its height be determined by a simple change of your lips? If I want you to do something, you can simply raise the limit and use that as an excuse to not do it. Wouldn't that make your promise meaningless?"

Wendy spoke incessantly. Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, he was now showing signs of becoming a chatterbox.

"Hmph, you!" Yun Yun was about to retort, but upon reflection, while Wendy's version of Zhongli's words might have sounded like nitpicking, they weren't entirely without merit. She tilted her head slightly and said softly, "My bottom line is the Yunlan Sect. As long as it doesn't damage the Yunlan Sect's reputation or endanger the lives of its disciples, I'll agree to anything. Are you satisfied with this?"

"emmmm..."

Wendy seemed unsatisfied and wanted to say something more. Zhongli saw this and quickly interrupted, "Never mind. She's the leader of the Yunlan Sect. Do you really want her to kill her own people? That's pretty low. We didn't expect to gain anything from her. She's just an ordinary woman on this continent."

"Oh, alright, I'll do as you say. I promise." Wendy's somewhat unreliable appearance convinced Zhongli to regain control of his body. He then pulled out the battle robe he'd worn when he first arrived in this world from the Earthly Chains and handed it to Yun Yun.

Zhongli then said slowly, "Your clothes are soaked, and now you have no Dou Qi to protect you. You'll easily catch a cold if you continue like this. Put on my clothes for now. I'll go out and find some food. You can change here and don't run around."

After saying this, Zhongli's figure slowly moved out of the cave.

"Oh, old man, this is really unexpected. You actually plan to cook for yourself? Do you have any experience in this area?" Wendy said with a hint of sarcasm, her lips slightly raised.

"Since I'm weak, I naturally need more nutrition, and meat is undoubtedly a good choice. As for my cooking experience..." Zhongli paused, frowning slightly, as if lost in deep thought. "Well... thousands of years ago, Gui Zhong taught me some cooking methods. Although I learned most of them back then, the food I made still didn't taste even 20% as good as Gui Zhong's."

"It's been so long, I didn't expect you still remember cooking. Maybe, after all these years, your cooking skills have improved from the original 70% to 20%. Then, 20% of the deliciousness plus 20% of the cooking skills, that taste, wow, just thinking about it makes my mouth water..."

"Why are you being so long-winded, like Paimon? Let me ask you, what is two-thirds of ten times two-thirds of ten?"

"...Phuket...my brain is a bit hot..."

As for my cooking skills, though, I don't need to worry too much. I have many memories of cooking from Lei's movies, so as long as I follow the instructions, the taste shouldn't be too bad.

Zhongli then expanded his spiritual sense and began to explore the small monster in detail.

Wendy's voice still echoed in Zhongli's ears.

"Hey, old man, isn't there a giant amethyst-winged lion king hidden in your earthly chain? It wouldn't hurt to take it out and cut a piece off to taste.

"This Amethyst Winged Lion King doesn't have a strong bloodline, and he's very old, so his meat is probably tough. You can refer to why there's a roast suckling pig dish, but no roasted sow."

"You are so old, your flesh must be very tough. Maybe that's why your flesh is as hard as a rock? Hehehe." Wendy continued to tease.

Zhongli didn't argue too much with Wendy, but slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, Mavica's Burning Thousand Sun Flame once again enveloped Zhongli's heart, making Zhongli feel warm in his heart.
