Chapter 106: Re-entering the Dynasty

"This dish is called Kung Pao Chicken."

Chen Changsheng began to introduce the dishes. Intent on showing off his skills, he had prepared famous culinary delights from his past life on Earth. "This one is Steamed Fish."

"This one is Sichuan Chili Chicken."

"This one is Dongpo Pork."

"This one is Yu-Xiang Shredded Pork..."

"Wow, this is so delicious!"

"Oh my god, it's incredibly tasty!"

"Sob... I'm so touched. I've never eaten anything this delicious in my entire life!"

"..."

Donggong Qianxue, Mu Wanqing, Bing Mu'er, Nalan Ruoshui, and Huangfu Meng completely abandoned their table manners. Any semblance of ladylike poise was thrown to the wind.

Not only were these dishes mouthwateringly delicious, but what drove them truly wild was the majestic Daoist heritage and the incredibly potent medicinal energy contained within. Like a vast, surging ocean, these forces coursed through their bodies, making them feel as if they were walking on clouds, floating in bliss, with every single pore on their bodies tingling with absolute pleasure.

Had their cultivation bases not already reached the Extreme Path Realm, they would have been utterly unable to withstand such a colossal onslaught of Daoist heritage and medicinal efficacy.

The five gorgeous girls ate like ravenous wolves, their manners completely atrocious.

Ladylike poise?

They had forgotten the concept entirely.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away scattered clouds, they cleared the entire table in no time, leaving not even a single drop of broth behind.

It was simply wonderful!

So incredibly satisfying!

All five girls ended up with perfectly round, stuffed bellies.

To them, there was no greater joy in the world than eating and drinking at Young Master Chen's residence.

"Oh, excuse me, I need to step away for a moment."

Donggong Qianxue's delicate body suddenly trembled, her face flushing bright red as she hurriedly stood up and left.

Right after...

"Cough, I think I need to step away as well."

Nalan Ruoshui's face also flushed red as she hurriedly rose and departed.

"Apologies, I must leave too."

"Uh, me too."

"Me three."

In the blink of an eye, the five golden beauties had all vanished.

Clearly, the sumptuous feast combined with the fruits had brought them unbelievable benefits—they were all on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Old man, go wash the dishes," Chen Die'er said to the Blood Demon Ancestor, looking at the messy table of empty plates.

"I... Alright."

The Blood Demon Ancestor transformed into a wisp of black smoke, drifting out from Chen Die'er's necklace to obediently wash the dishes.

Two days later, Donggong Qianxue, Mu Wanqing, Bing Mu'er, Nalan Ruoshui, and Huangfu Meng finally returned one by one.

The aura radiating from the five of them was noticeably stronger than before; they had clearly all achieved a breakthrough.

"Alright, now let's head to the Imperial Capital, and then we'll launch our attack on the Holy Kingdom of Baidan," Chen Changsheng said with a calm smile, looking at the five gorgeous beauties before him.

"Y-Y-Young... Young Master Chen, you are going to participate in this war too?"

Donggong Qianxue's jaw practically dropped to the floor in shock.

Mu Wanqing, Bing Mu'er, Nalan Ruoshui, and Huangfu Meng also stared at Chen Changsheng in absolute astonishment.

Chen Changsheng was a reclusive, supreme expert; it was incredibly unexpected for him to take part in such a war.

"What? Do you think I'm not suited to join?" Chen Changsheng stroked his chin and chuckled softly.

"No, no, not at all!"

Donggong Qianxue waved her hands frantically, filled with pleasant surprise. With a transcendent saint like Young Master Chen participating in this war, what chance did the Holy Kingdom of Baidan have of putting up a fight?

Even if he just stood there without lifting a finger, his mere presence would serve as a massive reassurance, sending their morale through the roof.

"In that case, let's go."

Chen Changsheng took Chen Die'er by the hand and gestured to the others.

The group immediately headed down the mountain.

Once at the base, Donggong Qianxue summoned her ultra-luxurious flying vessel, carrying everyone as it sped toward the Imperial Capital.

A day later, the ultra-luxurious flying vessel carrying Chen Changsheng, his daughter, and the five golden beauties arrived at the Imperial Capital.

On the massive martial arena, the top experts from the other thirty-five Holy Kingdoms, excluding the Holy Kingdom of Baidan, had already gathered.

The atmosphere was overwhelmingly powerful, enough to make one feel suffocated.

"It's Young Master Chen and his daughter!"

Seeing Chen Changsheng step down from the flying vessel holding Chen Die'er's small hand, the top experts of the thirty-five Holy Kingdoms all showed expressions of mixed fanaticism and reverence.

Back at the banquet in the Holy Kingdom of Qianjue, even the Sacred Domain expert Tantai Wushuang had treated Chen Changsheng with utmost respect. Furthermore, when Hua Wuhen had charged at Chen Changsheng to kill him, Hua Wuhen had suddenly bled from all seven facial orifices, and the Flower of Annual Rings in his hand had instantly shattered into pieces.

With all these clues, any slight reflection would lead to a terrifying conclusion: Chen Changsheng was absolutely a terrifyingly powerful recluse, a supreme powerhouse!

By now, Chen Changsheng's name had already spread throughout the entire Eastern Region. Whenever the name "Young Master Chen" was mentioned, everyone felt awe and dread.

It was just that Chen Changsheng, living in seclusion in Qingshui Town, was completely unaware of it.

From beginning to end, he believed he was merely a mortal. This was because the scam of a system back then had indeed failed to teach him how to cultivate, leaving him before he could even cross the threshold, unilaterally terminating the contract and abandoning him.

"Haha, Young Master Chen, we meet again!"

"Young Master Chen, it is our greatest honor to have you grace this battle with your presence!"

"Young Master Chen, we haven't seen you in days, and you've grown even more handsome! Your daughter has gotten even cuter too, haha!"

Many people greeted Chen Changsheng enthusiastically, their faces filled with worship, sycophancy, and flattery.

This display left Chen Changsheng rather bewildered. *What is the meaning of this? Am I close with you guys? I don't know you at all! And what on earth are these greetings about?*

"Hello, everyone!"

To show proper manners, Chen Changsheng casually waved and greeted the crowd.

"Hahaha, greetings, Young Master Chen!"

The crowd erupted in joy, feeling immensely honored that Young Master Chen had acknowledged them.

In their eyes, this was a deity of the nine heavens greeting them, and their excitement and ecstasy were beyond words.

"Young Master Chen, I didn't expect you and your daughter to come as well!"

Donggong Fu and the Holy Empress soon arrived at the arena. Seeing Chen Changsheng and his daughter, they trembled with excitement and hurried forward.

"Greetings, Holy Emperor, Holy Empress," Chen Changsheng smiled faintly. "I'm just a salted fish with nothing better to do, so I came to broaden my horizons."

He naturally wouldn't reveal his true purpose for coming—the Blood Demon Ancestor was his trump card.

A salted fish?

Donggong Fu and the Holy Empress froze, exchanging a glance. Their expressions became incredibly bizarre.

Donggong Fu sighed inwardly. *Young Master Chen, your name has already shaken the entire Eastern Region. Every cultivator in the region probably regards you as a deity. If you are a salted fish, then the rest of us... cough, probably don't even qualify as salted fish droppings, do we?*

"Your presence is the greatest honor for our Chunqiu Holy Kingdom," the Holy Empress said respectfully once she recovered her composure. Her heart pounded wildly, causing her delicate frame to tremble imperceptibly.

"Indeed, Young Master Chen! Your arrival brings immense glory to our entire empire. Look, thousands of feet of auspicious clouds have gathered above the palace—a grand omen of good fortune, a truly magnificent omen!" Donggong Fu laughed excitedly.

This flattery... was simply speechless!

Chen Changsheng glanced at Donggong Fu, and two words immediately popped into his mind:

*Henpecked husband!*
