Chapter 144: Chef Fike

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fike raised his hand, and the flames behind him formed into a rope that firmly wrapped itself around a bison.

The animal had no time to dodge before it found itself bound by the flames.

Soon, it died.

Seeing this, the other bison fled in the opposite direction.

Fike was not greedy at all, and allowed the rest of the herd to escape.

“One is enough! We can finally have dinner!”

Fike said happily.

After the rest of the bison had all left, Fike put away his spell as he slowly walked to the side of the carcass lying on the ground.

Skillfully summoning some Sword Qi at the tip of his finger, he cut open the thick layer of skin on the surface.

The girl beside him could not help but be shocked when she saw Fike’s divine ability.

She said to Fike.

“Who exactly are you? Why does it look like you’re about the same age as me? How can you have such powerful strength?

“And how did you use those flames like a magic trick?”

Seeing that the girl in front of him was chattering non-stop, he replied.

“This isn’t a magic trick, but a spell! Also, I’m much younger than you!”

As he spoke, Fike had already broken the bison into several pieces.

“What’s your name? Where are you from?”

The girl asked inquisitively.

Fike didn’t bother hiding anything and answered frankly.

“My name is Fike! I’m a mage from Earth! What about you? What’s your name?”

Fike looked at the girl as he asked softly.

“My name is Xiao Zhao. I’m a disciple of the East Immortal Sect. I descended the mountain to train, and ended up here. That’s how I got myself chased down by that herd of bison.”

“East Immortal Sect? You’re an immortal cultivator?”

Fike asked.

“Yeah, I guess so!”

Xiao Zhao nodded.

Fike excitedly took her hand.

“Xiao Zhao, then do you know where the original god Is? I’m looking for him, it’s very urgent!”

“Original god… who is that?”

Xiao Zhao replied in confusion.

Seeing her dull expression, Fike’s hopes were immediately extinguished.

“Sigh, forget it, looks like I’ve asked the wrong person!”

Fike packed up the buffalo meat he had just sliced up, and prepared to return to his cave.

After he had taken a few steps, however, he turned to notice that Xiao Zhao still remained where she was, unmoving.

“Why are you still there?”

Xiao Zhao saw Fike asking about her and said.

“I sprained my ankle. I can’t walk now.”

Fike looked at her speechlessly.

Then he asked.

“Do you have somewhere to go?”

Xiao Zhao looked at him blankly and replied.

“I wanted to go to Gufa Town, but it’s still some distance away from here.”

Before she could finish, it started to rain heavily.

Fike looked at the girl, who was staying in the same spot and offered.

“Why don’t you come with me to the cave I found? It’s raining now…”

Xiao Zhao nodded obediently.

“Okay, but I’ve sprained my ankle and can’t walk.”

Fike looked at her helplessly.

“Ah, forget it, forget it. I’ll carry you!”

As he said this, Fike crouched down, offering his back to Xiao Zhao.

The girl quietly leaned forward.

The two returned to the cave, drenched by the sudden heavy rain.

Fike nonchalantly took off his soggy clothes.

When Xiao Zhao saw this, she immediately took out a short blade from her waist, pointing it at Fike.

“You… What do you want to do?”

Seeing that the girl seemed to have misunderstood him, Fike explained himself.

“You’ve misunderstood. I’m just changing out of my wet clothes. I don’t mean anything else.”

As he said this, Fike took out some of the clothes that Lan Xi had worn before and handed them to her.

“Quick, change into them!”

Fike turned his back to her as he fished out his own dry clothes from his backpack.

Realizing that Fike really didn’t seem to have any other intentions, Xiao Zhao peeled off her wet clothes as well.

As this was the primordial era, 3,000 years ago, craftsmanship hadn’t been particularly developed.

As such, Xiao Zhao was stunned when she put on Lan Xi’s clothes.

“How can the material of these clothes be so thin? But it’s so warm? This is a god’s garment!”

Fike couldn’t help but laugh when he heard her words.

He figured this was a normal reaction for someone from 3,000 years in the past, who had never seen the future of craftsmanship.

Fike finally turned back around after Xiao Zhao had changed her clothes.

“Xiao Zhao, do you know how to Cook?”

Fike asked.

The girl shook her head.

Fike looked at her and said haplessly.

“Then it seems that I, Chef Fike, will have to show you my skills today!”

Truthfully, Fike had never cooked before.

However, he had the hidden information.

Fike called for the system in his heart.

‘Hidden information!’

‘Hidden information! Hidden information! Do you know how to cook this kind of meat?’

The hidden information soon gave him a hint.

[Hidden Information: Use flames to roast the meat, and add some medicinal herbs from your backpack. The taste will be divine!]

Then, Fike started to cook according to the hidden message’s instructions.

Because his control over the flames had reached a level of perfection, in a short while, the meat over the fire had begun emitting a savory fragrance.

“Okay! Xiao Zhao, check out my cooking skills.”

Fike handed the roasted meat in his hand to Xiao Zhao, who took it and impatiently tried to taste it.

“Eat slowly, don’t burn yourself!”

Fike cautioned gently.

Watching the girl wolf down her meal, he asked curiously.

“Xiao Zhao, how long has it been since you ate?”

She was not in the mood to stop eating and answer, so Xiao Zhao stretched out three fingers and to Fike.

Fike could not help but be surprised when he saw this.

“You haven’t eaten in three days? You’re really something!”

A look of embarrassment crossed her face, but she did not stop wolfing down her food.

Meanwhile, Fike began to taste the meat he had prepared himself.

With just a bite, he immediately felt the intense fragrance assaulting his taste buds.

“I didn’t expect that my first time cooking would produce such a taste!

“It’s so successful!”

Hearing Fike muttering to himself, Xiao Zhao gave him a thumbs up as well, expressing her approval.

Fike smiled.

“Looks like I’m really talented in cooking!”
