Reincarnated With A System Of Different Genre

Chapter 106: Young Master Kai

Everyone immediately began eating.

The moment the golden silk noodles touched their tongues, their expressions froze.

For a brief second, nobody moved.

Then the flavors exploded.

The noodles were unlike anything they had ever eaten before.

A rich savory taste spread across their mouths, followed by a gentle sweetness and an aromatic fragrance that lingered long after each bite. The texture was equally incredible, soft yet slightly chewy, delicate yet satisfying.

Each strand seemed to contain a different layer of flavor.

The more they chewed, the more they discovered.

And strangely, nobody spoke.

The entire table fell silent.

Only the sounds of eating remained.

Even the usually noisy group completely forgot about conversation.

Caelum felt his body relax from head to toe.

His heightened senses, which were constantly active due to cultivation, felt as though they were being gently soothed.

It was a sensation he had never experienced before.

If Cloud Nine existed, then this dish had carried him straight to Cloud Ten.

Meanwhile, Jordon watched everyone’s reactions and nodded proudly.

This was exactly what he had expected.

After all, if his food couldn’t produce this reaction, then he didn’t deserve the title of Head of the Food Faculty.

Satisfied, he turned his attention toward the Ice Fruit.

Taking one, he carefully examined it again as his expression became serious.

Various ideas flashed through his mind, each possibility appeared and disappeared within seconds, before a painful expression appeared on his face.

"This thing is troublesome..."

Muttering to himself, he reached into one of his pockets and removed several ethereal-looking purple berries.

The berries appeared almost translucent.

A faint dreamy mist drifted around them.

Then Jordon raised the Ice Fruit as flame appeared above his palm.

The fruit was immediately engulfed.

Ordinary ingredients would have turned to ash instantly but the Ice Fruit did not.

The terrifying cold energy sealed within it resisted the flames with surprising ferocity.

Layers of frost continuously formed on its surface.

The surrounding temperature began dropping, yet Jordon merely smiled.

"Hehe boi..." A dangerous glint appeared in his eyes as this was precisely the kind of challenge he enjoyed.

Creating a new dish from scratch.

For a Great chef, there was no greater joy.

Then, Jordon withdrew all of his fire.

The fruit immediately exploded with icy energy as a wave of cold swept through the area.

However, before the energy could escape, Jordon skillfully redirected it.

Using mana, he compressed all of the fruit’s essence into a single point as the process resembled alchemy more than cooking.

Unfortunately, nobody was paying attention.

The others were still completely absorbed in their food.

Even Ethan, who normally remained vigilant, had forgotten to observe what was happening.

Only Soleil glanced toward Jordon with unknown intention.

Eventually, the Ice Fruit began collapsing. Its essence was completely extracted and only a pale crystalline husk remained.

Jordon carefully stored the husk away.

Even that shell was valuable enough to make many things.

Next came the purple berries.

He crushed them between his fingers as their juice flowed into the extracted essence.

Immediately, the pale-blue liquid began changing color as swirls of violet spread throughout it.

Blue mixed with purple.

Purple mixed with silver.

The final result looked more like liquid starlight than food.

Jordon quickly poured the mixture into several dessert cups.

The moment the liquid entered the containers, it began solidifying at an astonishing speed as cold mist drifted from the surface.

Tiny crystals of frost formed along the edges.

A sweet and refreshing fragrance spread outward.

Finally, the dessert was complete.

Jordon crossed his arms proudly.

"Now this is–" He stopped midway.

Every single person present was staring directly at him.

There were no exceptions.

Humans, barbarians, panda, fat dog.

Every pair of eyes was fixed on the dessert.

The hunger within those gazes was so intense that even Jordon felt slightly uncomfortable.

"..."

For the first time in years, the chef felt pressured by his audience as he cleared his throat.

"This is a completely new dessert that I have just created. and I shall name it Dreamberry Pudding."

Before he could continue, several hands shot forward.

The dessert cups disappeared instantly.

"Wait! There is also a side effect..."

Too late.

Everyone had already taken their first bite.

Three portions remained untouched.

One belonged to Jordon himself.

The other two had been specifically reserved because Caelum requested extras.

The rest were gone.

Then strange things began happening.

Ryan started smiling at absolutely nothing.

Skyler looked as though he had received divine enlightenment.

Bonjour’s and Sénior’s expression became unusually peaceful.

Paul’s glasses flashed concealing his expression.

Ethan’s normally sharp gaze became unfocused as even Soleil appeared slightly dazed.

As for Voomie, the dog had somehow begun hugging her own tail while smiling foolishly.

Jojo sat motionless with his eyes closed as if he had achieved enlightenment.

The reason was simple.

The main ingredient of the dessert was Dreamberry and Dreamberries were not ordinary fruits.

They were considered a narcotic ingredient.

If used incorrectly, they could be used as terrifying poison.

Jordon slowly covered his face.

"...I tried to warn them."

Unfortunately, nobody heard him, and from his perspective, it was not that harmful.

And at that moment, every single person who had eaten the Dreamberry Desert had already begun drifting into their own strange little dream.

"Young Master Kai has returned after slaying demons!"

"All hail Young Master Kai!"

"Young Master is truly unmatched among his generation!"

"Young Master Kai, let me have your bab—"

The final voice was quickly drowned out by the surrounding crowd.

Seated atop his fat divine beast, Young Master Kai raised one hand in acknowledgment as he entered the city.

The streets were packed with people.

Children looked at him with admiration.

Young women gazed at him with shining eyes.

Even some elders nodded approvingly.

His popularity had increased tremendously over the past few months.

Not only had he personally participated in several demon-hunting expeditions, but he had also recently saved a young woman during a beast tide.

Later, it was discovered that the seemingly ordinary girl possessed a hidden identity.

She was actually a princess of the mighty Zen Dynasty.

The incident had spread across several counties and significantly boosted his reputation.

After all, An County was one of the territories governed under the Zen Dynasty’s rule.

As a cultivation dynasty, the Zen Dynasty controlled countless clans, sects, and noble families.

Competition here was fierce, power was respected and reputation was often just as valuable as strength.

"You common folk should enjoy this peace under the protection of the An Clan!" Young Master Kai declared arrogantly.

The surrounding crowd immediately cheered.

The city guards standing near the gates quickly stepped aside to allow him passage.

His fat divine beast proudly walked forward with exaggerated dignity.

Unfortunately, the good mood did not last long.

A figure suddenly stepped into the center of the street.

The city guards reacted immediately.

However, after recognizing the newcomer’s identity, they hesitated.

None of them dared interfere because the man before them was no ordinary cultivator.

He was an important young master from the neighboring county.

The crowd instantly became excited as everyone knew one thing.

Wherever two young masters met, trouble followed.

The newcomer folded his arms and looked at Kai with open disdain.

Then he laughed very unpleasantly.

"Ha! So the rumors were true."

The Peng Clan’s Young Master looked around theatrically.

His unique hairstyle swayed in the wind as he pointed toward the cheering crowd.

"You actually hired people to praise you? A weakling pretending to be a hero, Young Master Kai, your shamelessness truly knows no bounds!"

The surrounding atmosphere instantly froze.

The cheering stopped.

The smile on Young Master Kai’s face slowly disappeared.

"Courting death!"

He said the legendary words.
