15 Chapter 15: Meal & Spirit Butterfly's Reaction

After we arrive at the restaurant, Soft Feather is immediately taken aback by its elegant design and welcoming atmosphere.

As soon as we enter the building, Distinguishing Snow, the best Immortal Chef in the Cultivation World, greets us with a warm smile. "Zenith Heaven Emperor, it's always a pleasure to see you. And who is this lovely young lady you have brought with you?" she asks, looking at Soft Feather.

"This is Soft Feather, my dear friend. She's never had the pleasure of trying your exquisite cuisine, and I thought it was high time to remedy that," I reply with a grin.

Distinguishing Snow nods in understanding, "I see. Well, I'll make sure to prepare something extra special for the both of you."

I nod in agreement, then turn to Distinguishing Snow. "I have a special request today. I would like you to prepare this rare Eight Grade ingredient that I have brought for me and my companion here," I say, presenting her with the ingredient.

Distinguishing Snow takes a look at the ingredients and is shocked. "These are some of the rarest and most expensive ingredients I have ever seen. I will do my best to prepare them in a way that does them justice." She assures me, and I nod in approval.

Soft Feather looks at me, wide-eyed with anticipation. "I can't believe you've brought such a rare ingredient! This is going to be amazing!" she exclaims.

Focussing on the delicious scent in the air and not on our conversation, I have a slip of tongue "This is nothing special, I had it every day in the past"

Distinguishing Snow's eyes widen in shock as she overhears my words. "Every day? How could you have such a rare ingredient every day?" she asks incredulously.

I quickly realize my mistake and try to cover it up. "I mean, it's not that special compared to your amazing cooking," I say with a forced chuckle. "

Soft Feather watches with fascination as Distinguishing Snow begins to prepare the meal with the utmost care and precision. She can tell that she is truly an expert in her craft, and she is excited to taste her creations.

As we wait for the food to be ready, I strike up a conversation with Distinguishing Snow. "I've been here quite often in the last year," I mention. "I'm always impressed by the quality of your dishes."

Distinguishing Snow smiles warmly at me. "It's always a pleasure to have you here, Zenith Heaven Emperor. Your patronage is greatly appreciated." She then turns to Soft Feather and adds, "And it's an honor to have the opportunity to cook for one of your esteemed guests."

Soft Feather blushes at the compliment, feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the attention. "Thank you so much," she replies. "I can't wait to try your food. I've heard so many great things about it."

Distinguishing Snow nods in understanding. "I assure you, you won't be disappointed. I've been working on some new recipes that I think you'll find particularly intriguing."

Soft Feather's eyes widen with anticipation, and she eagerly waits for the first dish to arrive. As the plates are set before us, we can't help but marvel at the intricate presentation and the mouth-watering aroma. And as we take our first bites, we can't help but agree that Distinguishing Snow truly is currently the best Immortal Chef in the cultivation world.

Why currently you ask, simple back then in the Heavenly Court my personal chef was still better, but if one takes her cultivation into account then she truly is one of the best. After all, my chef was already a Sage, while she is still a True Monarch.

Soft Feather eyes light up in amazement. "This is incredible! The flavors are so complex and perfectly balanced," she exclaims. I smile, knowing that I've made the right decision in bringing her here.

As we move on to the next course, Distinguishing Snow comes out to check on us, eager to hear our thoughts. "How is everything so far? I put a lot of effort into these dishes," she says humbly.

Soft Feather nods eagerly. "It's amazing! I've never tasted anything like this before," she says.

Distinguishing Snow looks pleased and continues to bring out dish after dish, each one surpassing the previous one in both presentation and taste. Soft Feather and I are both in awe of the chef's skill and the incredible meal she's prepared for us.

As we finish our meal, Distinguishing Snow comes out to bid us farewell. "Thank you for coming, Zenith Heaven Emperor and Soft Feather. It was an honor to cook for you both," she says with a bow.

Soft Feather and I exchange looks, both of us knowing that this is a meal we will never forget. "Thank you, Distinguishing Snow. This was truly an experience," I say with a smile, and Soft Feather nods in agreement.

As we make our way out of the restaurant, Soft Feather turns to me with a grin. "That was amazing! Thank you so much for taking me here," she says.

I chuckle. "Of course, Soft Feather. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was my pleasure to treat you to such an unforgettable meal," I reply.

Together, we walk out of the restaurant, feeling satisfied and grateful for the incredible experience we've just had.

Spirit Butterfly Island, some time after Soft Feather sneaked out with me

Venerable Spirit Butterfly, the leader of Spirit Butterfly Island, is known for his overprotective nature when it comes to his daughter Soft Feather. So when he discovers that she has sneaked out of the island with an unknown cultivator, he becomes extremely worried and starts searching for her immediately.

He had been keeping a close eye on his daughter since she was young, especially after her mother entered seclusion. He was afraid of losing his only child, and he wanted to make sure that she was always safe and happy.

"Soft Feather, where have you gone? This is not a safe world for a young lady like you!" he exclaims, his voice filled with concern. Despite his efforts, he is unable to find any trace of her.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly becomes increasingly worried about his daughter's safety as each hour passes without any news of her whereabouts. "How could she do this to me? After all I've done to protect her, she goes and sneaks out with some unknown cultivator," he says, frustration evident in his voice.

He addresses the gathered cultivators of the Spirit Butterfly Sect, his tone stern and urgent. "Disciples of Spirt Butterfly Island, we must find Soft Feather at all costs. She is our young lady, the future of our sect, and her safety is of utmost importance. We cannot allow her to come to harm under any circumstances."

As the search intensifies, Venerable Spirit Butterfly personally joins in the effort, his eyes scanning every nook and cranny of the cultivation world in search of his beloved daughter. "Soft Feather, where are you? Please come back to me, I beg of you," he murmurs to himself, his heart heavy with worry and fear.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly's desperation to find his daughter, Soft Feather, knows no bounds. He has searched everywhere and even mobilized the entire sect, but there is still no sign of her. In his despair, he remembers that Soft Feather is a member of the Nine Provinces (1) Group.

With a heavy heart, Venerable Spirit Butterfly logs onto his daughter's account and writes a message to the group, asking for their help in finding Soft Feather.

"Esteemed members of the Nine Provinces (1) Group, I humbly request your assistance in locating my daughter, Soft Feather. She has been missing for hours, and despite our best efforts, we have been unable to find her. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated and rewarded."

As he sends the message, Venerable Spirit Butterfly feels a pang of shame. As a powerful cultivator in his own right, he has always prided himself on his ability to protect his family.

His mind races with thoughts of revenge, of punishing the one who dared to defy his authority and take his precious Soft Feather away. He clenches his fists, vowing that the moment he finds out who helped his daughter sneak out will be the moment he has a new arch enemy.

Too bad this person is Zenith Heaven Emperor, a cultivator so strong that Venerable Spirit Butterfly will never be able to touch him. In the end, he will have no choice but to accept that Soft Feather has a boyfriend.
