The sky gradually turned dark as the young pair returned to the manor.
Wang Teng had agreed to prepare a good meal for Lin Chuhan, so he started working on it as soon as they arrived.
He bought a large quantity of rare and expensive ingredients, all to prepare the meal for the evening.
He was even ready to use the light-element star beasts he caught back in planet Light Velvet; they were absolutely top-notch cooking ingredients.
Normal people would never have a chance to eat those creatures.
The manor's kitchen was immense, equipped with a wide range of utensils.
Force Chef Grandmaster Murray exclaimed in surprise, "Earl Wang, are you making Force dishes yourself?"
He was the expert hired by the young overlord, and would be available whenever the latter visited the estate; the rest of the time would be left to the man's own discretion.
Honestly, working for Wang Teng was relaxing and the pay was decent.
"Oh right, I'll handle things myself tonight," the hero replied.
The cooking expert smiled, not taking it to heart as he imagined the couple just wanted to spend some time together.
However, he was soon unable to remain calm.
Boom!
Wang Teng took out a light element crab more than a meter long and placed it on the giant chopping board.

Even so, the hero managed to press it down with ease, using just one hand.
After a swift move, accompanied by a crisp sound, the two large pincers fell to the ground.
Chef Murray felt the corners of his eyes twitch.
Being extremely familiar with various ingredients, he could easily tell at a glance that the crab before him was undoubtedly the finest light-element ingredient, a rare gem among culinary ingredients.
He didn't know that his young boss was a Force Chef Grandmaster too, so he felt that the ingredients would go to waste.
What a waste of such a valuable resource!
"Can I do anything to help you?" Lin Chuhan asked. She didn't want to stay idle.
"Help me wash the vegetables." He made a sweeping gesture, and a variety of brightly colored produce appeared on the clean and tidy metal table nearby. They looked incredibly fresh.
"This is…" Murray widened his eyes in astonishment.
He saw light-element vegetables. The ingredients emitted a faint white glow; just being in their presence brought a sense of comfort and relaxation to anyone nearby.
Of course, there were other glowing vegetables of the water and wood element. They were all top-class ingredients.
Then, he witnessed how the young woman carelessly placed the vegetables in water and washed them without any proper technique.
He… couldn't bear to watch anymore.

He instinctively glanced at the young overlord and was suddenly stunned.
Wang Teng twirled the kitchen knife in the air, creating streaks of dazzling flashes. A few swift movements were enough to expertly dissect the large crab, extracting the tender meat and elegantly arranging it on a plate.
"Gasp…" The Force Chef gasped all of a sudden.
The contrast between the two situations was too vast!
Earl Wang doesn't seem like a novice…
While the man was immersed in bewilderment, the hero had already finished with the crab. He took out a pig leg from his space ring, and started working on it.
The stationed chef could no longer underestimate the earl. He paid close attention to the young one's methods. The more he looked, the more astounded he became, almost biting his own tongue.
It was astonishing!
Wang Teng's handling methods left him in awe, and couldn't help but sigh at his own inadequacy.
Mind you, he was a Force chef grandmaster, yet he felt that his own skills were inferior.
The whole situation made him suspect that the young earl was also a Force Chef Grandmaster.
The following actions completely overthrew Murray's beliefs. From ingredient handling to the entire cooking process, Wang Teng displayed the qualities of a true chef.
Even though his fiancée washed the vegetables in a rough manner, causing some unnecessary damage, it didn't affect the cooking process.

His guess was confirmed: Wang Teng was indeed a Force chef grandmaster. Furthermore, his mastery was high.
The man was speechless. He could lose the job.
You're an earl. Why do you have to learn cooking and excel all the way to the grandmaster level? Why?
Can't you give the rest of us a chance?
Murray couldn't help but ask when the hero left the kitchen. "Earl Wang, you're a Force chef grandmaster!"
"Yes!" The latter nodded. He thought that the fellow was worried about his position, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I only cooked this one time. You are still in charge."
The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stood at the same spot, speechless.
Wang Teng and Lin Chuhan reached the manor's garden, where the dining table had already been set, while a variety of delicately prepared dishes were carried over by servants.
Steamed crab, baked lobster, grilled steak, braised pig trotter, stir-fried mushrooms…
The table was adorned with an opulent array of culinary delights, a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Aromas wafted in the air, as the dishes beckoned with their tantalizing presentation.
The attendants kept their eyes on the food, swallowing saliva.
How can they be so fragrant!
This is torture!
Wang Teng and Lin Chuhan sat face to face. A simple yet elegant tablecloth covered the table, graced with the presence of pristine white candles flickering gently. A bottle of red wine completed the setting.
