Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

"No, no..."

Mr. Lin counted on his fingers, his face somewhat solemn. He watched Li Feng's actions, which were precise and without the slightest error. He also saw that the Kitchen God had followed suit and was just waiting to offer incense to invite the gods.

Hong Xiang'er, however, did not notice the problem and was still urging Li Feng to step forward and pay his respects. Only after the ceremony would there be any discussion about submitting the memorial.

Only when the decree is issued and the emperor's will is received can one truly enter the temple.

Now that the incense has been offered, but you haven't paid your respects, isn't this putting Hong Xiang'er, the matchmaker, in a difficult position? Not to mention, if this incurs the taboo of the righteous gods, how will you be able to act smoothly in the future?

Therefore, they urged him on, but Li Feng remained unmoved. He stood stiffly, staring intently at the words in front of him.

[Tai Sui: I have already received the offering!]

"How could it be Tai Sui?!"

Li Feng was somewhat taken aback, and even more so, somewhat horrified, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Li Feng didn't know what Tai Sui was, but he had heard of the saying "offending Tai Sui" before, which was definitely not a good thing.

But now that things have come to this, there's no turning back.

Left with no other choice, Li Feng had to bite the bullet and step forward to bow respectfully.

Seeing this, Hong Xiang'er breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to burn the talisman paper and submit her memorial, she was stunned by what Li Feng said the next moment.

"We respectfully invite the Grand Duke Jupiter to descend!"

Li Feng's voice was clear and distinct, each word distinct and easily understood by everyone.

Lu Junyi and Mr. Lin, who were present, were both wide-eyed, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Hey, hey, hey, head chef..."

Hongxiang'er became even more anxious. How could this be so unreliable? She had said she wanted to invite the Kitchen God, and the statue had been carved and the rituals had been completed. How did it turn into the Grand Duke Jupiter here?

But then, with a loud crash, the statue on the shrine shattered, splintering wood and revealing a completely different appearance that sent chills down everyone's spines.

It did not resemble a true god at all, but rather looked like a huge mushroom, with a canopy, and was pitch black.

"this……"

Hong Xiang'er couldn't help but swallow hard, retreating repeatedly. This righteous god had even stopped submitting memorials and directly appeared, even breaking the statue of the Kitchen God.

"Lord Tai Sui! It's Lord Tai Sui!"

The monkey, oblivious to its own limitations, jumped around in fright, but Lu Junyi quickly pulled it back.

Li Feng took a deep breath. He knew he was now in a difficult situation, with no way to back down. He didn't know the identity of the powerful figure in front of him, nor what level he was at.

After bowing to him, he watched as the pitch-black Tai Sui writhed and swallowed the cigarette that was swept up by the wind.

Judging from her figure, she seems to have grown a bit more.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but swallow hard, and saw another message on the simulator: 【Divine Gift: Devouring Evil Spirits.】

[Annotation: The Grand Duke Jupiter is the most malevolent spirit in the world; everyone who encounters him must offer him a piece of meat!]

"Good heavens!"

Li Feng exclaimed, "Good heavens! This Grand Duke Jupiter is practically the biggest gangster boss. How did he manage to become a righteous god?"

Li Feng couldn't figure out what was going on, but he felt that things weren't that simple.

What reminded him of something else was mentioned in the biography of that cheap master: "In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world."

Does the arrival of this powerful deity signify anything?

He couldn't help but take a deep breath. Li Feng stopped thinking about it and focused on solving his own problem. That was the right thing to do.

So he simply put his mind at ease and put the matter aside.

Seeing that Li Feng didn't say anything, the others also remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts as they returned to their rooms.

Hong Xiang'er was left standing there, looking at the altar and examining the statues of the gods in the hall, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I was just wondering to myself, is this famous master chef really a legitimate person?

……

……

Back inside, Li Feng eagerly turned on the simulator. Looking at the words in front of him, he became interested and was about to examine them closely.

But then he was suddenly taken aback, discovering that the forbidden item on the simulator had disappeared, replaced by [Creation: Ambergris].

[Annotation: A type of residue commonly known as "longevity incense" is believed to enhance the recipient's enjoyment.]

Upon seeing this change, Li Feng frowned, as if he had vaguely guessed something.

Just as they were feeling pleasantly surprised, they suddenly realized something was amiss. The amount of ambergris seemed to be slowly increasing. In other words, this place was now the Dragon Head Miasma that should only exist on the Milky Way!

Could it be something from beneath the Milky Way that has come here?

Li Feng was startled. He quietly walked out of the room and saw only a thin figure standing in the cold courtyard.

Before he even got close, Li Feng could smell who it was and guess who it was. Who else could it be but Yu Yatou?

Seeing Yu Yatou standing there all alone, I couldn't help but go forward and cover her with my plain robe.

The girl turned around in a fluster, saw it was Li Feng, and blushed, murmuring, "Master..."

"Why aren't you resting yet?"

Li Feng couldn't help but ask.

I miss home...

Yu Yatou hesitated before speaking.

"Just say what's on your mind. What's wrong? Are you homesick? How about someone send you home?"

Li Feng was speaking.

Nayu quickly shook her head and hurriedly grabbed Li Feng's hand, saying, "Xiaoyu can't leave, Master! Please don't send Xiaoyu away. Xiaoyu has no home anymore, at least she has a place to stay. If she leaves, she'll really be all alone!"

After saying that, her eyes reddened, and she began to sob softly.

"What's going on?!"

Li Feng looked up at Yu Yatou and felt that ever since Hong Xiang'er came, Yu Yatou had been hiding something in her heart.

I just don't know what it is.

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if Master thinks that person is good, he'll send me away. And I always feel that Master isn't satisfied with me..."

Yu Yatou hesitated, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands. A moment later, she looked up and said, "Master, why don't you take me?"

After a long pause, Yu finally mustered the courage to say those words.

Li Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but smile wryly, only then realizing belatedly that he had thought of what had happened this morning.

"Rainy girl, sigh, that's not quite right. Now that I've expanded the courtyard, it's precisely to give you a place to stay!"

Li Feng was speaking to himself.

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks came from outside the temple. Yu Yatou quickly stopped crying and went to the door.

He had just pushed open the door, glanced inside, and hurriedly called out to Li Feng, "Sir, come here for a moment!"
