His cooking is so delicious that he's become the darling of the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 379 Prince

Recently, the entire Xuanyuan Sect has been discussing one thing: the food sold at Yunci Restaurant.

Just how delicious it is, the restaurant is always packed, and if you arrive half an hour late, you have to queue. The anecdotes are full of disciples from various peaks discussing the food.

Yun Ci sent out a notice last night that the gates would open two hours later today.

Inside the restaurant at this moment.

A group of small puppets and a dozen shop assistants are skewering skewers.

Da Zong and Er Zong kept bringing out the chopped ingredients from the kitchen.

Yun Ci had just returned from outside and was about to place the newly purchased refrigerated display case on the first floor.

Like the insulated containers, the cabinets are equipped with special arrays to keep the ingredients fresh.

There were three doors on the wall behind the counter, and only one door on the wall behind the kitchen. Yun Ci then placed several huge three-tiered cabinets in the kitchen, lining up a whole row of them.

After two days of getting to know each other, the staff members had become familiar with each other and were now chatting enthusiastically.

"Hey, did you know that the Third Prince of the Celestial Master Dynasty has recently put a huge reward on someone? I heard from others that the person has offended the Third Prince."

"Offending someone shouldn't warrant an astronomical bounty."

As she spoke, the female apprentice, who was doing odd jobs, skewered the stinky tofu.

This stuff smells awful, she absolutely won't eat it. The others look so delicious, she wants to eat them!

"What offense? It's that you've disgraced the royal family! It's said that the Third Prince was beaten to the ground and many people saw it!"

The disciple from Lingzhi Peak standing nearby said with a meaningful expression.

While arranging the skewers, Yun Ci listened to the gossip. Upon hearing this, she immediately grabbed a bunch of skewers and walked over, asking, "Really? Where did you hear that?"

Seeing that Yun Ci was interested, the group became even more enthusiastic.

The story goes on about how the mysterious man brutally beat up the third prince of the Celestial Master Dynasty, and how the mysterious girl beside him beat the third prince until he was lying on the ground crying in pain. In the end, it almost became a story that the mysterious man was against the entire Celestial Master Dynasty royal family.

Xiao Bai was engrossed in playing with his communication device and had no interest in the gossip around him.

The little ginseng and the durian spirit listened to the gossip with great interest while snacking.

Ximen Yichen looked at Yun Ci, who was listening intently to the gossip. It turned out that Senior Brother Yun liked to listen to these mundane matters.

However, he had also heard about this matter. Yesterday, he was pulled into a group chat by someone, and the chat was constantly being flooded with messages. He wanted to turn off the messages, but when he clicked in, he happened to see people in the group discussing this matter.

Yun Ci asked blankly how much the reward was.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold," Ximen Yichen said. "Is Senior Brother Yun going to capture that person?"

Elder Huaiyuan said that if Senior Brother Yun likes spirit stones, then he must also like gold.

“I’m not going!” Yun Ci said immediately.

Does he want to catch me instead?

Yun Ci twitched the corner of her mouth.

Unexpectedly, he was worth 100,000 taels of gold, and he even considered selling him to himself.

The shop assistants chatted for a while longer, and from this incident, they talked about the folk customs of the Celestial Master Dynasty, as well as the royal family.

Ximen Yichen seemed to know a lot about it and said a few more things.

Yun Ci suddenly paused, looking at Ximen Yichen with wide, uncertain eyes.

A female cultivator from the Alchemy Peak nearby saw this and thought to herself that Yun Ci was incredibly cute and wanted to take a picture of her.

Yun Ci asked, "Ximen...you're not a prince, are you?"

"Prince?!"

The dozen or so shop assistants looked in shock at Ximen Yichen, who was sitting to the side, skewering skewers and gossiping with them.

Aside from their temperament, in what other ways do they resemble each other?

The people of Alchemy Peak were already completely bewildered.

"I remember now, the royal family of the Great Pu Kingdom is surnamed Ximen!"

But the royal family of Dapu Kingdom is not the only family in the world with the surname Ximen. Who could possibly associate this unpretentious prince with the royal family of Dapu Kingdom?

Everyone stared at Ximen Yichen, waiting blankly for his answer.

Ximen Yichen didn't hide anything and nodded, "Yes."

!!!

Yun Ci's lips twitched. "You didn't want to be a prince, but instead you came here to suffer."

It's not that the Xuanyuan Sect is bad, but the path of cultivation is long and arduous. As far as he knows, Dapu is a country with a peaceful and prosperous society, wealthy people, and a powerful military. It is located in a blessed land and is a very powerful and wealthy country.

The Ximen family is a very powerful family of cultivators. They are not threatened by strong enemies and are loved by the people. There are no reports of princes killing each other. If one were a prince, one would certainly not live such a simple life as one does now.

Ximen Yichen smiled faintly, "My ambitions lie elsewhere. Pleasure is only temporary; only through continuous hard work can one enjoy happiness forever. Besides, Father has several of my elder brothers; I am not particularly outstanding."

With my brothers in power, the Great Pu will be better off, and the people will be better off.

His only redeeming quality was his diligence and perseverance. Besides... he didn't think it was any harder than being a prince. Senior Brother Yun's cooking was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than anything in the palace.

Although it wasn't a delicacy or a gourmet feast, the taste was unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

Seeing Ximen Yichen's worried expression, Yun Ci couldn't help but ask, "How old are you?"

Ximen Yichen was taken aback, somewhat confused as to why Senior Brother Yun would suddenly ask this, so he replied, "After my birthday, I will be sixteen years old."

Yun Ci couldn't help but think.

What was he doing at sixteen? He was playing video games, hanging out with his roommates, chatting with Chu Ziming, and going out to play whenever he had time.

"You're only sixteen, why think so much? There's nothing wrong with being hardworking, but anyone who actively seeks out hardship is a fool!"

Yun Ci patted Ximen Yichen on the shoulder.

Ximen Yichen was taken aback.

Watching Yun Ci put the skewers into the cabinet, a small flame suddenly lit up in my heart, my heart was surging, and my phoenix eyes stared at Yun Ci without blinking.

Ximen Yichen felt a sudden sense of clarity.

He's enjoying himself right now; he's very happy.

If hard work will allow him to meet Senior Brother Yun, then he will continue to work hard, but he will not allow himself to seek out suffering.

Hard work and the pursuit of suffering are not the same thing.

He won't make things difficult for himself.

The shop assistants nearby then began discussing Yun Ci and Ximen Yichen's views.

With a large group of people, any topic can be discussed.

The shop assistants were chatting enthusiastically.

In no time, Yun Ci had arranged all the ingredients for the spicy hot pot and various fried skewers.

Hundreds of kinds of fried skewers are displayed in the cabinet.

It was almost noon, and people had been coming since morning to buy food, with more and more people arriving later.

Some people bought juice and sat inside waiting, some helped skewer fried skewers, and some found a good spot outside to meditate and cultivate themselves...

Everyone took their assigned roles and prepared to begin work.
