Chapter 116: Chapter 8 The Most Delicious Cooking
Karelina, having returned to her dragon form, sniffed the air. There was an enticing aroma permeating through, but Karelina could distinguish the spicy scent of hot pot within it.
People talk about a dog’s nose, but a dragon’s nose is also quite remarkable. Riesel’s Olfactory Protection Spell had received unanimous praise from a portion of the Dragon Clan.
Karelina hesitated a bit; she wasn’t too fond of the spicy smell. Now that she thought about it, she could still feel a tingling sensation in her mouth.
"Delicious!" Sebastian exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Magical Mapo Tofu in front of him. This dish had completely conquered his taste buds.
Riesel also nodded in satisfaction. The dish had reached the level of a top-tier chef from a prime material plane, though the ingredients weren’t great, affecting the overall taste.
Seeing the satisfied expressions of her companions, Karelina gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to take a bite.
The three dragons quickly finished off the Magical Mapo Tofu on the plate, with Sebastian licking his lips in dissatisfaction.
"To be honest, I think the cooking here is quite good, it’s just that the portions are too small," Sebastian grumbled. For a dragon, this amount was just enough to whet the appetite and then nothing more.
"I agree. The hot pot too, ordering ten dishes is still not enough," Riesel rarely concurred with Sebastian’s viewpoint.
"I feel like the best thing is this Magical Mapo Tofu," Karelina said, looking at the empty plate, her cheeks a bit red. She had almost licked the plate clean.
"Who said that? The best thing is definitely the desserts, isn’t the light cheesecake delicious? Isn’t the mango mousse delicious?" Sebastian admitted that, although the Magical Mapo Tofu brought extreme pleasure to his taste buds, he still preferred desserts. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Tch, you think everyone’s like you? What’s so great about these sticky sweet dragon treats?" Riesel looked down on Sebastian, thinking it would be better to eat the Elf Race’s sweetheart fruit if one wanted something sweet.
"In my view, only something like hot pot is fitting for dragons to eat. The spicy thrill can train a dragon’s willpower," Riesel was a steadfast hot pot enthusiast as always.
"Hah? The Magical Mapo Tofu is so tasty, are your taste buds on your butts?" Karelina was visibly annoyed. What’s so good about hot pot—it’s painful with every bite.
"That’s why I said, dragons your age can’t possibly understand the delight of desserts..."
"Old bachelor, shut up!"
"Karelina, actually, hot pot is..."
"Shut up, masochist!"
The argument between the three dragons grew more intense, and Chen Ze could hear the sound of them banging on the table even from the kitchen.
Chen Ze sighed. If it weren’t for the fact that he’d already tested that nothing in the restaurant could be destroyed, he would have already gone on a rampage.
"I’m not the boss of Hua Village Arcade, getting smashed up every day. The shops that have been damaged could circle Earth twice over," Chen Ze muttered to himself, planning to try making a new dish while no new customers had arrived.
"But it doesn’t seem too difficult," Chen Ze said, as he picked up a kitchen knife. The dish he was going to make today was White Cut Chicken, a Cantonese dish.
Though White Cut Chicken is a simple and common Cantonese dish, its fame has spread far and wide.
Chen Ze looked at the chicken that was boiling and turned to prepare the seasoning, feeling that the difficulty of this dish wasn’t that great, which made it hard to get excited.
"This person, tsk tsk," Chen Ze felt that he had become conceited. After making the Magical Mapo Tofu, Chen Ze contracted a strange condition.
Accomplishing something impressive made him feel that he could easily succeed in similar tasks.
And then Chen Ze failed spectacularly.

The System’s cold and merciless prompt brought Chen Ze back down to earth considerably.
Chen Ze slapped his face, deciding to step outside to cool down a bit and check on the situation outside.
Chen Ze had just stepped out of the kitchen when he saw this scene.
"You old bachelor, let me tell you again, only those little female dragons would eat your desserts!" Karelina’s tail was constantly flickering with a soft light as she angrily grabbed Sebastian’s collar.
And Riesel was already on the ground. From the small footprints on Riesel’s body, Chen Ze could tell why Riesel ended up that way.
"Hedong Lion... it’s like a Dragon roar." Chen Ze never imagined that Riesel would be unable to stand up to Karelina.
However, it was also possible that Riesel didn’t fight back.
"What do you know, you little milk dragon?" Sebastian argued with reason.
Just as the situation was about to escalate to the Sprite Dragon beating up the Black Dragon, the wind chime rang, and Karelina instantly held back.
Chen Ze turned around and saw that Stan, the Undead Monarch, had come in again.
"The Undead Monarch?" Karelina’s pupils shrank, and she quickly stepped back.
She certainly knew the guy in front of her, a character standing at the pinnacle of the negative plane.
In that moment, Karelina thought about a lot. She even wondered whether Sebastian might be colluding with Stan to keep both her and Riesel here, and turn them into undead dragons.
After all, Sprite Dragons were considered the best material for creating Ghost Dragons.
"Stan, the usual?" Chen Ze asked with a smile.
"Hmm," Stan sat down on a chair nearby, then took another look at Karelina.
Sprite Dragon? Suddenly Stan remembered that he was recently planning to make a Ghost Dragon, and a Sprite Dragon was just what he was missing.
Moreover, this one had just reached adulthood not long ago; its life force was very abundant. If transformed into a Ghost Dragon...
Karelina shivered; she could feel a deep malice.
"Mr. Stan, what do you think?" Sebastian, having seen Stan several times, didn’t have as many reservations.
"Isn’t dessert the best thing at the Dream Restaurant?" Sebastian remembered that Stan only ate Buffet.
Stan paused, then shook his head, "Buffet."
Sebastian looked triumphant, "See, I told you, desserts are the best."
Karelina blinked. Did Sebastian, the old bachelor, really just dare to pat Stan’s shoulder?
Was this guy’s courage inflated by some air grass? He sure was bold.
"Buffet," Stan repeated.
A twitch played at the corners of Chen Ze’s mouth; he guessed that Stan meant to say that desserts were nothing, only Buffet was truly delicious.
"Alright, Mr. Stan, what flavor would you like?" Chen Ze abruptly asked.
Last night, Chen Ze had reviewed Food Wars and China’s Little Head Chef again, and realized to advance his culinary skills further, making food with heartfelt intent was important.
What was heartfelt intent?
Chen Ze thought about himself shyly holding the dish, placing it in front of the customer, and then with a coy, "Eh-hee~ I’m so shy~" running away while covering his face...
That kind of intent was definitely problematic!
