CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 393: BEAST GOD FOREST 16 (CHEN YUNJI)

Similarly, in the place where Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t see.

Chen Yunji was writing with a pen in each hand, scribbling different contents.

A little dragon curiously climbed onto the table and reached out to touch Chen Yunji’s pen: "Big brother, what are you scribbling?"

"This is not scribbling, it’s writing." Chen Yunji explained.

"Then why are you writing so much nonsense?" The little dragon asked, puzzled.

Chen Yunji looked speechlessly at the hornless little dragon and corrected again: "This is writing, not nonsense."

"Oh, nonsense." The little dragon nodded to itself.

Chen Yunji chose silence, opting not to converse with the little dragon.

The commentary he was writing about his encounter with Xiao Jinsheng was paused completely.

He began a new story about the stubborn little dragon.

Chen Yunji wrote a lot of comments, which the contestants couldn’t keep up with.

With a new story about a stubborn little dragon, everyone was engrossed except for a tabby cat fixated on the love story of judge Yu Qi.

"If you’re writing about the stubborn little dragon, then just focus on the stubborn little dragon." The White Tiger Beast King couldn’t understand why the tabby cat was so persistent about others’ love stories: "Why are you interrupting others’ creations?"

"I need to learn." The tabby cat replied solemnly.

Conveniently, the female he had a crush on also had seven beast husbands at home.

He wanted to learn from judge Yu Qi’s love-stealing experience.

To see if there’s anything useful for himself.

He wanted to join someone else’s family too.

Even though Caicai’s dishes were scored negatively by Que Zelian,

the scores from Su Ye and Chen Yunji were enough for it to comfortably proceed to the next round.

Soon, Xuan Jiu’s roasted chicken was also brought to the judges’ table.

Xuan Jiu chose Chen Yunji, Ying, and Lou Yan Zhi as judges.

While writing comments on the stubborn little dragon, as soon as a new dish appeared, Chen Yunji caught a familiar scent.

He paused his writing and looked toward the dish emitting that smell.

He saw a roasted chicken, scorched and smelling burnt, steaming hot.

The stubborn little dragon immediately lunged at the roasted chicken, biting into it.

It spat out in disdain: "It’s so awful."

"This taste..." Chen Yunji was delighted and grabbed the roasted chicken.

The suddenly appearing table, and that inexplicable force that needed him to be a judge, didn’t catch Chen Yunji’s attention.

But among these dishes, there appeared Xuan Jiu’s roasted chicken!

Doesn’t this mean that Xuan Jiu is also participating in the competition?

What about Xiao Jinsheng?

Could he be with Xuan Jiu?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Yunji lifted the stubborn little dragon: "Kongkong, can you help locate which world this roasted chicken is in?"

The stubborn little dragon was still using its claws to pick the chicken stuck between its teeth.

It looked at Chen Yunji in shock upon hearing this: "Big brother, is there something wrong with your taste? This chicken is so terrible, why would you chase after it?"

"This chicken is probably made by my friend." Chen Yunji explained.

The stubborn little dragon turned its head in disdain: "With cooking skills so poor, entering a kitchen competition is so unaware, just cut ties."

"My Female Master might be with him." Chen Yunji added.

"Really?" Hearing this, the stubborn little dragon perked up: "If sister-in-law is there, I suppose I can help you locate her."

"But the clan leader won’t let you go unless you take over the Dragon Realm." The stubborn little dragon looked troubled.

"I’m not suitable for managing a world, but..." Chen Yunji began to explain.

The stubborn little dragon cut him off with a paw: "You’ve already said thousands of times that sister-in-law is great at managing a world, my ears are almost blistered."

"Then report to the clan leader. Once he agrees, I’ll help you locate her." The stubborn little dragon stood on the table with arms akimbo: "I want to see if sister-in-law can really take over the Dragon Realm!"

"Alright, I’ll go now." Chen Yunji turned and left.

Leaving the stubborn little dragon to ponder over the new dishes appearing and the roasted chicken it was clueless about: "What score should I give for this roasted chicken? I haven’t even tasted these dishes."

"Full marks for the roasted chicken. For all other dishes, give scores lower than the roasted chicken." Chen Yunji’s voice carried from afar: "Since the Female Master and Xuan Jiu are participating in the competition, even if I can’t be by her side, I must contribute my part."

"I understand now." The stubborn little dragon grinned, nodding.

Soon, Chen Yunji’s score for Xuan Jiu’s roasted chicken appeared.

Yu Qi: 10 points.

Yu Qi: This roasted chicken is so delicious, I’ve never eaten such tasty roasted chicken in my life!

The perfect score left the audience in shock.

Because it was the only perfect score given among all the judges and contestants.

"Sir, Wang Dajiu next door truly lives up to his name as the Divine Chef." The tabby cat whispered to the White Tiger Beast King.

We should know that in the Reishi Royal City, Fox King Wang Dajiu’s culinary skills are renowned, known in most of the Royal Cities in the Beast God Forest.

"Fox King, quite impressive, seeing it first-hand is different." The White Tiger Beast King gritted his teeth, looking at Xuan Jiu, who was directly sent to the finals.

"Strength." Xuan Jiu said proudly.

He only needed to make minimal efforts.

Not even overexerting himself.

"As expected, Divine Chef is Divine Chef." Xuan Jiu suppressed his grin.

With Wang Dajiu’s perfect score, it also heightened the anticipation for other contestants choosing Chen Yunji as a judge for their scores.

In Chen Yunji’s absence, the stubborn little dragon walked around the table eating.

No matter the taste, it gave them all zero points.

"If I eliminate all the other contestants, big brother’s friend can become first." The stubborn little dragon proudly stood with hands on hips: "I am the smartest dragon in this world! No, I am the smartest dragon in the universe!"

Though Xuan Jiu’s roasted chicken went straight to the finals,

the other two judges still tasted the chicken Xuan Jiu made.

Judge Yun Jing quickly gave a golden perfect score.

Most dishes judged by Yun Jing received high scores, as all contestants had witnessed.

But to get a perfect score from Yun Jing was something nobody had seen before.

Especially since this perfect score was Wang Dajiu again!

"Is Wang Dajiu truly the Divine Chef?" The contestants watching from below, seeing the roasted chicken score perfectly twice, were curious about what makes a Divine Chef’s roasted chicken so delicious.

And in a void space.

Ying sat cross-legged in black and white.

Holding a half-eaten chicken leg, unsure whether to continue or put it down.

He looked conflicted before setting aside the unpalatable chicken leg.

He rummaged through the snack bag prepared by Xiao Jinsheng for him.

Finding two remaining cat candies.

After much hesitation and recalling the awful taste of the roasted chicken, he shut his eyes and reluctantly ate one of the two candies.

The sour-sweet taste swirled on his tongue.

Ying drooped his cat ears, looking at the familiar chicken leg: "Xiao, when will you find me..."

"I’m right by your side." Ying changed his sitting posture and sighed, closing his eyes.

Watching Ying’s review, Xiao Jinsheng raised a hand to touch his ears.

"What’s wrong?" Xuan Jiu noticed Xiao Jinsheng’s action and asked with concern.

"My ears feel warm, like someone is thinking about me." Xiao Jinsheng replied.

"Since you can’t read minds, how do you know I was just thinking of you?" Xuan Jiu laughed and asked.
