The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 The Magic of 100% Golden Fried Rice

Zhao Li rejected Li Yang’s request without a second thought.

“Are you kidding me!”

He had personally witnessed the miraculous effects of the Golden Fried Rice. The radiance it emitted could instantly eliminate the resentment and obsession from hungry ghosts, causing them to radiate golden light and peacefully reincarnate. They didn’t even need to report to hell!

The process was bypassed, the Heavenly Dao directly opened a green channel for hungry ghosts. It was too terrifying!

Zhao Li had unfinished business, and as the soul ferryman, he was content with his current state. He didn’t want to reincarnate just yet. Li Yang wasn’t ready to give up and continued persuading.

“Li Ge, you completely misunderstood! The glow from the Golden Fried Rice only affects spiritual bodies. You, on the other hand, still have a physical form. Eating a portion of Golden Fried Rice won’t harm you at all. It might even enhance your spiritual power!”

Zhao Li shook his head.

“A gentleman doesn’t stand by a dangerous wall. I’m in great shape right now, no need for enhanced spiritual power…”

Seeing that Li Yang wasn’t giving up, Zhao Li’s eyes twinkled, and an idea formed.

“Alright, here’s the deal, when you manage to make 100% Golden Fried Rice, I’ll bring you a special guest.”

Zhao Li knew that Li Yang’s Golden Fried Rice was only at 90 points. If it reached 100 points, it wouldn’t just purify resentment more effectively, but it would also have even more magical effects.

Zhao Li had already decided that once Li Yang could make 100% Golden Fried Rice, he would invite the King of Hell, Ah Cha. Let that lonely, cold woman feel the warmth of the sun.

Hehehe~

With that thought, Zhao Li chuckled and gave Li Yang a deep look.

“Kid, you better work hard. If you can satisfy that guest, your life will be set.”

Seeing Zhao Li’s lecherous smile and the malicious undertone in his voice, Li Yang immediately had a hunch.

Could Zhao Li be planning to invite the King of Hell, Ah Cha?

It was very likely!

Li Yang’s eyes lit up. If he could copy a supernatural skill from Ah Cha…

Damn, that would be a huge win!

Li Yang swallowed nervously, looking at Zhao Li, eagerly saying, “It’s a deal!”

With that, Li Yang grabbed the hundred-dollar bill from the counter, slipped into the kitchen, and began cooking the Golden Fried Rice. Maybe it was the pressure or perhaps things were naturally falling into place, but Li Yang felt that his cooking skills had reached a new level this time.

When the Golden Fried Rice was served, the system’s rating came through.

A smile of delight appeared on Li Yang’s face.

100% Golden Fried Rice!

“Yes, yes, yes! Having a goal really does bring motivation. Not only did I earn two recipes for magical Mapo Tofu, but…”

He could also get a supernatural skill from Ah Cha!

Li Yang felt ecstatic.

The two magical Mapo Tofu recipes came from Chinese Cooking Master during the competition in the “Juxia Tower,” where Liu Maoxing and Shao An cooked the Six Flavors Magical Mapo Tofu.

But what made Li Yang the most excited was that if Zhao Li could really bring Ah Cha here and let her taste the 100% Golden Fried Rice…

The supernatural skill he could copy from Ah Cha would definitely be stronger!

Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn’t wait to bring the plate to the front. He placed the plate in front of the hungry ghost, opened the lid with one hand, and said to Zhao Li, “Li Ge, don’t forget to bring that special guest tomorrow…”

Zhao Li waved his hand.

“What nonsense! You think she can just come out at any time? Wait until July 15th. Besides, you haven’t made 100% yet—wait, what?”

Zhao Li suddenly jumped up, shocked, looking at Li Yang and the plate.

“You didn’t really make 100% Golden Fried Rice, did you? Damn, hold on a second…”

“That’s right!”

Li Yang quickly lifted the lid.

“This is the moment to witness the miracle…”

A beam of light shot up from the plate, swirling with golden mist, rising straight toward the ceiling, and rapidly spreading across the entire room. The dining hall was immediately enveloped in golden light.

In the brilliance, Zhao Li screamed. Li Yang laughed madly. The hungry ghost pounced on the plate, eagerly inhaling the radiance and aroma, absorbing it into its spiritual body. The black resentment surrounding its spiritual body was rapidly dissolving.

When the golden light dissipated, Zhao Li closed his eyes and cautiously checked his body, worried that something was amiss. Thankfully, his concerns were unnecessary.

Zhao Li hadn’t changed much. But the hungry ghost he brought had undergone a dramatic transformation. It was now radiating intense golden light and had a compassionate, sorrowful expression.

Meanwhile, the Golden Fried Rice had completely vanished from the plate. Li Yang was slightly confused. In the past, when hungry ghosts absorbed the radiance and aroma of the Golden Fried Rice, the fried rice in the plate would become messy, as if it had been left for several days.

But now, the Golden Fried Rice had completely turned into light, merging with the hungry ghost’s spiritual body. It seemed that this was the magic of 100% Golden Fried Rice!

Zhao Li glared at Li Yang with a sour expression.

“You brat, you move fast!”

“If this harms me in any way, the underworld will definitely accuse you of attacking a Yin officer…”

Then, he turned his attention to the hungry ghost, his tone softening.

“Alright, now that you’ve eaten such a magical luminous dish, your resentment and obsession have been dissipated. Prepare to reincarnate.”

But the hungry ghost shook its head, looked up at the ceiling, and firmly said, “No, someone will come to collect me…”

Zhao Li sneered.

“Who? Another Yin officer?”

“Heh, stop talking nonsense. I’ve brought plenty of hungry ghosts here to eat, and after eating the Golden Fried Rice, the Heavenly Dao opens a green channel for you. Based on your sins in life, it decides which path you will take.”

“Guys like you? In your next life, being a pet cat would be a blessing…”

Before Zhao Li could finish, a massive vortex appeared on the ceiling, with seven-colored auspicious clouds swirling around it.

Within the vortex, there was an immortal palace scene, with immortal cranes flying, and immortals in flowing robes seemingly arriving to greet the hungry ghost. Zhao Li’s jaw nearly hit the floor, his eyes wide in shock. He stood there stunned!

“Damn, the Heavenly Dao?”

“You, what kind of karma do you have? You weren’t a great person in your past life. Why do you deserve…?”

The hungry ghost transformed into a beam of golden light and entered the vortex. The strange phenomena in the dining hall instantly vanished, returning to normal. Zhao Li was left dazed and muttering.

“People in the Heavenly Realm live for 84,000 years. This guy could live comfortably for a long time, but why…?”

Zhao Li turned to look at Li Yang and then at the empty plate. An incredible thought quietly emerged in his mind.
