Tycoon War God

In the following two days, Qin Luoli plunged into a frenzy of work. She didn’t even go home, often so busy that she would fall asleep right at her desk.

This made Lin Mu feel both distressed and guilty. If it weren’t for him, Qin Luoli wouldn’t have to work so hard. But for the sake of their happier future, Lin Mu could only continue to keep her in the dark. So, for these two days, he stayed by her side constantly.

Lin Mu also saw another side of Qin Luoli. Perhaps in her daily life, she was a woman who needed protection, one who could act spoiled, get angry, and throw little tantrums. At work, however, Qin Luoli was decisive and commanding, displaying astonishing business talent and acumen. Lin Mu had seen on multiple occasions how, during meetings, her thoughts were clear and her arguments well-organized, earning both fear and admiration from everyone present. Even when representatives from numerous companies came to Qin Corporation, whether to propose a collaboration or set a trap, they were often rendered speechless by her rebuttals.

Because of this, the panic caused by Qin Corporation’s losses gradually subsided under her firm control. But Lin Mu knew that an even greater crisis was still to come. Qin Luoli still had a tough battle to fight.

Therefore, no matter how late it got, Lin Mu would stay with her, eating and living at the office, helping her analyze the market and process one document after another. Every time Qin Luoli was so exhausted she fell asleep, Lin Mu would use his Spiritual Energy to give her a massage and alleviate her fatigue.

And every time she woke up, she was utterly astonished. Though she felt she had only closed her eyes for a moment, she would feel refreshed and clear-headed, as if she possessed a bottomless well of energy.

Qin Luoli, though surprised, attributed this to Lin Mu. She believed, however, that it was simply his constant companionship that made her feel so tireless. The two days weren’t long, but their feelings for each other were heating up quickly.

”Phew!” Qin Luoli put down her documents and let out a long breath.

After a busy morning, she hadn’t even had time for breakfast, and her stomach was growling with hunger. However, when she saw the mountain of files that still needed her attention, her brow furrowed, and her appetite vanished completely.

She glanced at the sofa but didn’t see the person she was hoping for, which brought a flicker of disappointment.

Then again, Lin Mu has been with me for two days straight; he must be tired too.

But even so, she couldn’t help feeling a little let down.

CREAK.

The office door was pushed open. Assuming it was another delivery of files, Qin Luoli started to steel her mind for more work, only to see Lin Mu walk in carrying a food box.

”Hungry, aren’t you? Here, have something to eat before you get back to it,” Lin Mu said, placing the items on the table.

There were three dishes and a bowl of porridge.

One was a soybean and pig’s trotter soup, its milky-white broth exuding a rich, clean fragrance. Next was a dish of stir-fried greens, whose vibrant color and the aroma of garlic made it look utterly appetizing. The third was braised pork with taro, its deep, meaty scent irresistibly tempting.

And then there was the bowl of porridge. It looked unassuming, but the fragrance wafting from it made Qin Luoli’s mouth water uncontrollably.

”Wow, this looks so delicious!” she exclaimed, forgetting all about work as she promptly sat down at the table.

Lin Mu smiled. ”Go on, try my cooking.”

With her mouth slightly agape, Qin Luoli stared at him, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. ”You... you made this?”

Lin Mu laughed. ”That’s right. It’s been a long time, so I’m not sure if my skills have gotten rusty.”

In the Immortal Realm, apart from cultivation, Lin Mu’s greatest love was gourmet food. Huaxia’s culinary culture was vast and profound, capable of leading global trends in any era or nation. Coupled with the countless variety of ingredients available in the Immortal Realm, Lin Mu’s talent allowed him to create the world’s most exquisite delicacies with just simple preparation. However, he hadn’t cooked at all since his rebirth, which made him a little anxious.

”I never would have guessed!” Qin Luoli pouted, then took a sip of the soup.

Her pupils suddenly dilated, her pretty face a mask of pure shock.

”Is it... not good?” Lin Mu asked, a wave of anxiety washing over him.

It’s one thing to finally cook for Qin Luoli, but if it doesn’t taste good, that would be a huge loss of face.

If the great figures of the Immortal Realm saw him now, their jaws would surely drop. A mighty Heavenly Emperor, the peerless figure who shepherded the Myriads of Worlds, was so nervous and cautious about whether a meal he made for his wife would be good enough—it was hard to know whether to laugh or cry. After all, everyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths knew that the Heavenly Shepherd Venerable’s culinary skills, just like his Cultivation Level, were completely unmatched.

Qin Luoli didn’t answer him. Instead, she picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of the braised pork. It was rich but not greasy, bursting with meaty flavor. She then ate a piece of the green vegetable; it was crisp and refreshing. Paired with the braised pork, it cut through the richness and was wonderfully soothing. Her eyes sparkled as she took a spoonful of porridge.

Instantly, she cried out, ”This is too good!”

The fresh, fragrant flavor of what seemed like countless types of seafood blended perfectly with the millet, making her feel as if she were wandering through an ocean and a wheat field at once. It was an ethereal experience, so good she felt she could swallow her own tongue.

Lin Mu’s initial anxiety gave way to dumbfounded astonishment as he watched Qin Luoli alternate between a bite of vegetables, a bite of meat, and a sip of porridge, clearing all the food on the table in no time.

”Wow! So tasty!”

”Wow, so delicious!”

”Heavens, what kind of divine delicacy is this?!”

”...”

CLACK. Qin Luoli set her bowl down on the table and wiped her mouth with a bold flourish.

A tiny burp escaped her lips. She hurriedly covered her mouth, her pretty face flushing red. Glancing at Lin Mu, who still hadn’t snapped out of his daze, she said sheepishly, ”It was just too delicious. I couldn’t help myself.”

”Ahem.” Lin Mu feigned composure with a cough. ”It’s fine. I was just re-familiarizing myself today. Seems my skills haven’t declined.”

Three dishes and a bowl of porridge... she ate every last bite. This woman’s appetite is as formidable as her work ethic.

Having eaten her fill, Qin Luoli felt all her fatigue swept away. She was filled with energy and a sense of blissful joy, finding the transformation all the more incredible.

”Lin Mu, with skills like these, if you decided to become a chef, you’d put everyone else out of a job,” she said, leaning against him while contentedly rubbing her stomach.

Lin Mu replied proudly, ”If I were a chef, no one could afford to hire me.”

”That’s true.” Qin Luoli suddenly looked at him with a serious expression. ”Lin Mu, just how many secrets are you keeping from me? You know medicine, you’re a powerful fighter, and now you can cook like this.”

”You know, if you told me one day that you were an Immortal who had been reincarnated, I’d probably believe you!”

Qin Luoli giggled as she said it, but Lin Mu, sitting beside her, broke out in a cold sweat.

A woman’s sixth sense is terrifying!
