People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"There are too many worlds with fallen angels. Judging from their identities, I can't even imagine what kind of people a twelve-winged fallen angel might be... Hmm... I think I know one possibility..."

Lucifer glanced at Bai Yu and said irritably, "I don't have wings that ugly! Besides, I lost my wings a long time ago~"

The man narrowed his eyes and said, "So, this young lady is also a fallen angel?"

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "Fallen angel? I guess I could be considered a fallen angel too~ But there's also the term 'demon,' since I used to be an angel and was later banished~"

Hearing this, the man was taken aback, then said with interest, "An angel? If you're an angel, why were you driven away? I'm suddenly very curious about your identity, Miss."

Lucifer, with her legs crossed, leaned against Bai Yu and said with a playful expression, "Lucifer, the Queen of Hell, Lucifer, and also the former Archangel of the Morning Star, Lucifer~"

Upon hearing the name Lucifer, the man was completely stunned, staring at the beautiful woman before him in disbelief. After a long pause, he rubbed his forehead and said, "You two really leave me speechless. Well, enough of the jokes. Now it's time for you to reveal your true identities."

Lucifer sighed and was about to make a move when he remembered something. He took out his phone and sent a message to Cerberus. Cerberus quickly ran downstairs and was stunned when he saw the man.

"Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer! Is this a fallen angel? He doesn't look like you at all..."

Lucifer said irritably, "This fallen angel doesn't quite believe this is another world, and he doesn't believe I'm Lucifer either, but I can't use my power right now, so it's up to you~"

Cerberus nodded and then transformed into three Cerberus, each with a strange magic circle appearing in its hand. The man instantly sensed a dangerous aura. Most importantly, if he remembered correctly, this magic circle did not belong to any of their pantheons.

"Stop! There's no need to fight. Which pantheon does this magic belong to?"

"A pantheon? Lucifer, which pantheon is that?"

"A pantheon? Does that bastard God represent a pantheon?"

After pondering for a while, the man began to believe that this was another world, but he really didn't understand why Lucifer and Cerberus in this world looked like this.

The man casually summoned a magic circle and went inside. When he came out, he was still in the same place, which made Azazel take it seriously. It seemed that this place might really be another world.

But the existence of such power, and from an unfamiliar pantheon of magic, strongly suggests it's from another world. Thinking this, the man folded his wings and smiled, saying, "Then, Queen Lucifer?"

Lucifer nodded, then said with a playful expression, "Do you believe me now?"

The man shook his head and said, "To be honest, I still can't believe it, but that unfamiliar pantheon of magic is enough to explain things. Besides, Lucifer also exists in our world, although now... um..."

Lucifer was taken aback. There it was! Lucifer from another world! Intrigued, Lucifer asked, "Lucifer from another world? How is he? Male or female? He must be managing Hell very well now!"

The man coughed lightly and said, "Um... if I may be so bold, Queen Lucifer, after the last great war, Lucifer from our world fell to the underworld along with the Lord, whom you call God. In other words, they're all dead... The underworld is currently engaged in a civil war to seize the position of the new Demon King..." (Note the time~ The shop is short of maids, don't you think? ~Funny~)

Lucifer's lips twitched, then he said with some interest, "You seem to know a lot about these things. The last great war? What great war? How do you know about it?"

"It's a stroke of luck, really—because I was the leader of the Fallen Angels in that great war."

"Oh? What's your name? A fallen angel from another world~"

"Lord Azazel, the Fallen Angel~"

"Azazel?!" (Little angel: Huh? In this other world, I'm an old man? And I've fallen from heaven?!)

Chapter 206 The Difference Between Lucifer and Lucifer (Please Subscribe~)

Seeing the surprised expressions on Lucifer's and the others' faces, Azazel felt a little smug. After all, the person in front of him was most likely Lucifer, the Demon King from another world. Being able to intimidate this queen meant that Azazel in this world had indeed succeeded.

Azazel laughed and said, "What about Queen Lucifer? Does that mean I exist in this world too?"

Lucifer nodded seriously and said, "Yes, but she's an angel, a woman, and most importantly, a student~ She's probably in Hell collecting research materials right now~"

"On...thesis materials..."

Azazel's lips twitched, and Bai Yu smiled and said, "It seems Mr. Azazel has accepted this setting~ So, would you like to rest for a while or have something to eat?"

Azazel looked at Bai Yu with some interest and said, "I'm more concerned about how to get back, after all, I'm not a student anymore~"

Bai Yu pointed to the doorway and said, "You just need to open the door and walk back. It's not as troublesome as you think."

Azazel walked to the door, opened it, and saw the white light. He nodded, seemingly believing the words. After all, he had just carefully examined the light. Although it was very similar to the Lord's, this one was gentler and he couldn't sense any magic.

"So, young man, who are you? You seem to be the shop owner... and you're so close to the Queen of Hell..."

Lucifer snorted and then went back to playing on his phone, still holding Bai Yu's arm. This answer was already quite effective. Azazel said with a headache, "There are really all sorts of incomprehensible things. It would be a shame not to eat in such an interesting place."

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, what would you like to eat?"

"No menu?"

"Some ingredients can be used to make whatever you want!"

"Wow, that's amazing! Let me think... Hmm? We didn't catch any fish today, so how about we have a fish dish? Whatever you want is up to you, and a glass of red wine too~"

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "Then please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon. Are you sure you only want one glass of red wine?"

Azazel thought for a moment and said, "Just one glass, but I'll add a bottle of whiskey too, since it should make a pretty good dish."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Yes, your intuition is correct. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Bai Yu turned and walked into the kitchen. Lucifer chuckled and said, "Lucifer from your world is really useless, he actually died!"

Azazel was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Eh? Lucifer... never mind, let's go with Lady Lucifer. Lady Lucifer, why would you make such a statement?"

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "Is the Queen strange?"

"No...because Lucifer in our world is a man, called the Primordial Demon King, his wife is Lilith, the Mother of Demons, and it seems they even had a child together..."

"child..."

Hearing this, Lucifer felt a sudden pang of envy. The Lucifer of this other world might be weak, but he actually had offspring? That's impressive...

After Cerberus merged into three, he tilted his head and said, "Eh?! The original Demon King? That's cool... Lucifer, you are too... Oh... you're not..."

Lucifer's lips twitched. She wondered why Cerberus seemed to enjoy subtly betraying her today... but she also knew that Cerberus meant no harm.

"Then you shall be my lord. As for your previous question, it's very simple. Because, as Lucifer, how could he possibly just use magic to bombard us? That's too foolish!"

Azazel paused, then said in a deep voice, "Because the original Demon King Lucifer's ability is to nullify divine artifacts, and the Lord barely used any divine artifacts, that's why..."

"Pfft~ Hahahaha! Divine artifact nullified?! Hahaha! Cerberus, did you hear that?! How can a Demon Lord be so weak?"

Azazel asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is something amiss, Lord Lucifer?"

Cerberus was also suppressing a laugh. Lucifer coughed lightly and said, "Listen carefully~ Lucifer was driven down, so in a sense he is a fallen angel, but it is not wrong to call him a demon."

"Then there's Lucifer's ability. I don't know how Lucifer in your world became the Demon King. I am the Queen of Hell. Putting aside forbidden spells, I haven't even mentioned Lucifer's own power."

"Inherent power?"

Azazel suddenly became interested in the pantheon of this world, and he also wanted to know why Lucifer of this world looked down on Lucifer of his own world.

Lucifer laughed and said, "I used to be called Lucifer, the most powerful archangel in Heaven, possessing power comparable to that bastard God. I was the archangel who ruled the Morning Star, and it took me nine days and nights to fall into Hell. You should know what the Morning Star means, right?"

Azazel's pupils contracted. If this Morning Star was indeed the Morning Star he had imagined, then Lucifer from his own world was ridiculously weak. Others used stars, dawn, and light, but here, the artifacts were rendered ineffective.

Given that Lucifer previously stated that his power was roughly equal to that of God, it seems that Lucifer and God on this side are stronger than those on their side... (The Bible system in High School DxD has been changed~ I've always wanted to complain about Lucifer's ability to nullify divine artifacts...)

He didn't think Lucifer's magic was weak at all, because how could someone who could control the Morning Star and the dawn have weak magic? Besides, just as Lucifer said, the Lucifer of his own world was the Demon King Lucifer, but this Lucifer... the archangel fell...

Lucifer said with a hint of amusement, "Well then, Mr. Azazel, it's time to tell you about the situation on your end. Cerberus, go back to sleep. I'll take you out to play tomorrow."

"Huh? Okay!"

Cerberus had originally intended to listen, but after hearing Lucifer's words, he immediately ran up. Azazel was also speaking in a deep voice about his world, while Lucifer looked at Azazel with a strange expression.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that something was wrong with that world. Why were there only four demon kings? And why were their combat strengths so strange? Some were so strong that she found it absurd, while others who shouldn't be weak were weak in a way that she couldn't understand.

However, Lucifer suddenly became interested in the artifacts and celestial dragons of that world.

On the other side of the kitchen, Bai Yu chuckled softly. He knew Lucifer would be interested when he heard about the God-Slaying Gear; this little queen was clearly very interested in otherworldly specialties these days.

P.S.: I didn't say High School DxD is weak, I just said that some characters are far inferior to their prototypes, which is why Lucifer feels so awkward...

Chapter 207 Azazel is very excited (Please subscribe~)

Azazel looked at Lucifer, whose eyes were shining and who seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't know what to say. But he really wanted to say that in a sense, Lucifer should indeed have such thoughts.

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "Your system's power ranking is really outrageous. But your world's God is actually a strange...scientist? That God-Slaying Tool thing is quite interesting~"

Azazel said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm also very interested in those divine artifacts and divine destruction tools."

Lucifer said somewhat speechlessly, "So, you three forces are now basically one side doing nothing, one side is studying its own internal affairs behind closed doors, and the Underworld is having a civil war?"

Azazel nodded and said lazily, "One thing I have to say is that I'm the only fallen angel who's been doing nothing, so it's no big deal."

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Huh? You don't have to work?"

Azazel waved his hand casually and said, "Work? Isn't the purpose of having subordinates to help you with your work?"

Lucifer was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your awareness is quite high. No wonder you can become the leader of the fallen angels. But what do your forces usually do?"

Azazel hesitated upon hearing this, feeling unsure if it was appropriate to say it in front of the fallen angel... especially since Lucifer was a woman...

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "Eh? Is it hard to say?"

"Sigh... never mind~ there's nothing I can't say. It's just that female fallen angels will seduce men into falling. Male fallen angels do pretty much the same job as female fallen angels, except they target women. Of course, they mainly check for any harm or threats. If they have any artifacts, bring them back to me."

Lucifer's lips twitched as he said, "The fallen angels in your world are really... but it just seems absurd. Usually, there are seven rulers of Hell, but in your world, there are only four left."

Azazel looked at Lucifer with a puzzled expression. He didn't see anything strange about it. Lucifer said irritably, "The seven rulers of Hell. These seven rulers are all very powerful. The most powerful of them should be Lucifer and Beelzebub. The seven rulers of Hell represent the seven deadly sins, which were given to us by that bastard God."

After thinking about it for a while, Azazel also felt that it made a lot of sense. If you look at it this way, there are only four demon kings in the underworld now, and there have always been four demon kings. It's very strange.

Thinking about this, Azazel suddenly wanted to know what he was like in this world, well... the Azazel who was still searching for research material in Hell.

Seemingly sensing Azazel's thoughts, Lucifer waved his hand and said, "You don't want to know what Azazel represents here. If you really want to know, just think of it as a place name in the wilderness or a scapegoat."

Azazel's lips twitched. Oh well, his own side was better. No matter how you looked at it, "scapegoat" wasn't a good word! This world's Azazel was truly miserable.

Perhaps because they belonged to the same pantheon in some sense, the two chatted casually. Lucifer became interested in various strange gadgets, while Azazel seemed to be studying official history.

Lucifer said that this is probably the second world she wants to visit besides the Pokémon world. She wanted a pet in the Pokémon world, but she came to this world simply because there are many fun things to do.

Putting aside the God-Slaying Gear and other divine artifacts, Lucifer is simply very interested in seeing the Celestial Dragons and such. Most importantly, she wants to see what kind of person will inherit her position. (Sazex: Don't mention it)

Just as Azazel was about to say something, he smelled a rich aroma. Azazel was stunned for a moment. This smell was unusually strong, and it smelled like freshwater fish rather than sea fish.

Most people who love to eat fish know one thing: saltwater fish and freshwater fish taste completely different. Putting aside the texture, just in terms of taste alone, saltwater fish has a unique aroma after being cooked, with that fresh, fishy smell that is unique to saltwater fish, while ordinary fish has no taste or has a muddy taste.

Of course, a well-cooked dish wouldn't have that kind of taste, so the best way to tell if it's a sea fish is to smell it after cooking to see if it still has that fresh smell. If it does, then it's a sea fish.

The aroma right now wasn't the smell of seafood at all; it was pure vegetable fragrance. Lucifer tilted her head as if she knew what it was, because she had eaten this dish before.

Azazel said somewhat jokingly, "I never expected Lady Lucifer's husband to be such a good cook..."

Lucifer said with a hint of smugness, "Not bad~ Bai Yu seems to be quite strong too~"

Just as Azazel was about to speak, he saw Bai Yu push the food cart out. To be honest, Azazel was a little nervous, but more excited than nervous. And his excitement was in the same direction as Tony Stark's—he was actually eating Lucifer's husband's cooking? Who would believe it? (To be honest, I want to see Tony and Azazel researching artificial artifacts... oh... and Alakazam too.)

Bai Yu walked up to Azazel and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to make you sauerkraut fish, but you ordered whiskey. Whiskey and sauerkraut fish might cause some problems, so I changed it to this instead: West Lake Vinegar Fish."

Azazel paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "It looks delicious! This is grass carp, right? I never thought grass carp could taste so good. I remember this is a Chinese dish? Isn't it strange to pair whiskey with West Lake Vinegar Fish?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "If I had to say, it's probably because I've been cooking Chinese food all day, so I just stuck to it. Chinese food like hot pot and fish isn't really suitable to drink with whiskey, and it would be even stranger to drink whiskey with soup. This is about as artistic as it is."

Azazel laughed and said, "You really are a man of many tastes! Well then, I won't stand on ceremony and start eating. But if it's really delicious, I feel like I might have to make a special trip to China to fish in the future!"

"The governor of the fallen angels going fishing in the Celestial Empire... it's kind of interesting no matter how you look at it~ Well then, please enjoy your meal~"

Chapter 208 The Tough-Asked Lucifer, Kiroli Wants to Play (Please Subscribe~)

Chinese cuisine has eight major regional cuisines, countless smaller cuisines, and a wide variety of snacks and drinks, as numerous as the stars in the sky. This is why many people come to China with a sense of disdain, only to spend most of their lives without ever leaving more than three provinces.

Among these various dishes, ten dishes formed a group and were given a brand new title: the Ten Famous Dishes (I'm adding "famous" to avoid censorship...).

What's truly remarkable is that West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce is one of them. Looking at these ten dishes, each has its own unique characteristics, but they all revolve around the word "fresh." Whether it's the freshness, the saltiness, the delicate freshness, or the freshness of the texture, they all depend on this word "freshness."

West Lake Vinegar Fish is a very simple dish. For a freshwater fish, it should be boiled, grilled, pan-fried, deep-fried, or stir-fried. However, there are quite a few dishes that are steamed whole, but only this one can become one of the top ten dishes just by steaming.

The recipe for West Lake Vinegar Fish is extremely simple, and the ingredients are even simpler. Apart from a grass carp, all that's left is some scallions and ginger, with no other side dishes. But this simple dish showcases the freshness and deliciousness to the fullest.

A steaming, cleaned grass carp, glistening with heat, is drizzled from head to tail with a thickened sauce. Watching the viscous, fragrant sauce slide down the spoon in a straight line, onto the fish, and then slowly drip and trickle onto the pristine white plate is beautiful and tempting.

The broth poured over the fish has a slightly runny, almost dripping consistency, making it hard to believe at first glance that the dish in front of you isn't braised. Is this really steamed?

The fish meat is tender and fresh, and the soup has a sweet and sour aroma with a slightly salty taste that brings out a rare crab flavor, which is the most magical part.

Gently pick up a piece of fish; the skin is a bright reddish color, while on the other side is a piece of pure white fish meat that exudes fragrance and warmth.
