Chapter 1431: The Unlucky Cooking Lizard
Chapter 1431: The Unlucky Cooking Lizard
"Morningstar, show this shopkeeper your strength." Su Yu spoke calmly, "If you don't, they might not believe you."
"Alright." Morningstar nodded in agreement.
Instantly, the formidable aura of an Eighth Rank Mid-stage Starrealm Cat was unleashed, pressing down upon the lizard shopkeeper.
Sensing this unfamiliar yet majestic aura, the lizard shopkeeper's body stiffened. It immediately recognized that Morningstar was undoubtedly an equal-ranked existence.
At the same time, it was utterly shocked!
A mysterious powerful figure, accompanied by a pet of Dominator Midrank, had arrived. What could this person be here for? Even a toe could guess that their intentions were not friendly.
...
This lizard shopkeeper was not the true owner of the store. The real owner had already been devoured by it, and now it was almost fully digested.
Just as Su Yu had said, this lizard shopkeeper's strength was indeed at the Eighth Rank Mid-stage, a formidable existence that could rank within the top hundred in the entire Southern Hemisphere.
The reason it had hidden here was undoubtedly for a special purpose.
Three hours ago, it had arrived at this shop, devoured the owner, and disguised itself as the shopkeeper.
When Su Yu first arrived, it was still a bit dazed.
Although the shop was open, it had no intention of doing business. Its subordinates guarded the perimeter, ready to deter any other creatures that approached.
It was still wondering how Su Yu had entered. Were its subordinates incompetent? How could they let in such a random person? Only now did it realize that it wasn't a matter of incompetence; this being had specifically sought them out!
...
"With a pet of Dominator Midrank, this person should be at the Dominator Apex, right?" the lizard shopkeeper thought to itself, "There are only five Dominator Apex cultivators, but this doesn't seem to be any of them."
"Dominator" was the term used by the beings on this planet to refer to the Eighth Rank, just as the cultivators of Blue Star called the Eighth Rank cultivators "Godly."
It quickly ran through the images of the five Dominator Apex powerhouses in its mind but found no match.
"Could it be not Dominator Apex, but Dominator High-rank?" the lizard shopkeeper continued to ponder.
But at that moment, Su Yu's voice echoed in its mind, "Stop thinking and get to cooking!"
The voice directly shattered its thoughts, leaving its brain buzzing as if hit by a concussion bomb.
The lizard shopkeeper was terrified!
Although Su Yu had only demonstrated a fraction of his power, it immediately understood that it was no match, with a clear gap in their cultivation ranks.
Moreover, Su Yu had Morningstar by his side. How could it deal with this sudden formidable enemy?
"Your Excellency..." The lizard shopkeeper was on edge.
But as soon as it opened its mouth, Su Yu slammed the table and interrupted, "Let me say it again, get to cooking! You don't need to worry about anything else!"
"But, I don't know how to cook," the lizard shopkeeper replied with a bitter expression.
Cooking was the work of lower-level beings. Since beginning its cultivation hundreds of years ago, it had never cooked a meal.
"Whether you can cook or not, I'm here to eat my fill!" Su Yu declared arrogantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a light blue virtual panel appeared before the lizard shopkeeper.
"Here, this is a complete cooking tutorial. Follow it precisely!"
"... Seeing the cooking tutorial video on the virtual panel, the lizard shopkeeper's anger ignited!
It finally realized that Su Yu was making fun of it!
To command it to cook for him was a blatant humiliation!
But it was clearly no match for Su Yu.
"Hmph!" The lizard shopkeeper glared at Su Yu and swallowed its anger. It then prepared to use its magic to leave.
...
Half a minute later, Su Yu casually strolled into the kitchen.
The lizard shopkeeper remained in its original spot, trembling, its face turning purple.
It had attempted to use its magic to leave, but suddenly, it realized that its spiritual energy was completely locked down!
Not only was its spiritual energy sealed, but its physical body was also trapped in an invisible cage.
The three-meter space around it was completely immobilized. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't move its body half a step, let alone escape.
Only now did it fully comprehend the kind of existence it had encountered. Su Yu was undoubtedly one of the five Dominator Apex powerhouses! It had truly encountered bad luck!
"Accept your fate and start cooking." Su Yu opened his spatial ring, pouring out dozens of fresh ingredients onto the kitchen shelves.
He had taken the opportunity to visit the market earlier and selected several dozen ingredients that piqued his interest.
He was genuinely curious to taste the local cuisine of this planet.
But the lizard shopkeeper was on the verge of tears.
It looked at Su Yu with pleading eyes, "Your Excellency, what must I do for you to spare me?"
"Start cooking." Su Yu emphasized once more, "If I'm satisfied, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you'll join the original shopkeeper in your belly!"
"The original shopkeeper?" The lizard shopkeeper widened its eyes, finding Su Yu's words absurd.
The original shopkeeper was an ordinary ant-like being. It had considered the shopkeeper a poor snack, and now it was being asked to sacrifice itself for an ant?
But what could it say? It was at the mercy of Su Yu's will.
The lizard shopkeeper had no choice but to grudgingly watch the cooking tutorial.
