Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

Chapter 163: New Function, Hot Pot

Upon hearing that his two disciples were planning to ruthlessly beat up the Northern Domain Empress, Chen Daoxuan was utterly baffled.

What's going on here?

"Both of you want to teach the Northern Domain Empress a lesson? Yourong, you're also going to educate the Northern Domain Empress?"

Chen Daoxuan asked with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Yeah! I must teach her a lesson, beat her till she's toothless!"

Li Yourong vigorously nodded, indicating that she had determined to teach the Northern Domain Empress a lesson today. Even the Buddha himself wouldn't be able to save her!

"This is the Emperor's Seal. Here, take it. It's for the Northern Domain Empress."

From their tones, Chen Daoxuan had already guessed the situation. So, it turned out neither of them knew that the Northern Domain Empress was none other than Leng Yanran?

As he spoke, he tossed the Emperor's Seal, which had been stored in the system space, to them.

Leng Yanran, hearing Master's words, became even more bewildered. However, she didn't delay and hurriedly received the merit-bearing Emperor's Seal.

"Master, what's this? Have you personally dealt with the matter of the Northern Domain Empress?"

Holding the Emperor's Seal, Leng Yanran weakly asked.

"Originally, this is your Emperor's Seal. The Northern Domain Empress has been you all along!"

Chen Daoxuan shook his head helplessly. After speaking, he looked at their expressions with great interest.

From confusion at the beginning, to shock, and then stiffness.

Especially Leng Yanran herself, she had no idea what had happened. How did she inexplicably become the celebrated Northern Domain Empress? The key was that nobody had told her!

Li Yourong was even more puzzled, furrowing her brows. She felt like her brain was about to crash. She couldn't figure out why her senior sister, who had gone to the Eastern Domain together with her, had become the Northern Domain Empress. Her senior sister wasn't even in the Divinity Separation Realm; she couldn't condense avatars.

In the end, Chen Daoxuan recounted the events that had transpired in the Northern Domain to them, revealing the truth.

Leng Yanran silently put away the Emperor's Seal and stopped discussing the matter of teaching a lesson to the Empress.

However, upon learning that the Northern Domain Empress, who they were talking about beating up, was actually her senior sister, Li Yourong felt even more awkward, like she was at a complete loss.

If it were someone else, fine, but her senior sistershe couldn't provoke her! After all, her senior sister's blows really hurt! Now that her senior sister had advanced to the Sixth Layer of the Annihilation Realm, her strikes would undoubtedly be even more painful. She couldn't afford to provoke her, absolutely not!

[Ding, Influence Function has been activated.]

[Current Ruling Influence: Northern Domain, receives a reward of one million system points annually.]

Suddenly, a prompt sounded in Chen Daoxuan's mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.

"S-such a good thing exists?"

He was astonished, thoroughly astonished.

Originally, he had been worried that in this world without even a single Immortal, as his need for system points increased for his future breakthroughs, achieving the Immortal Realm might result in erasing nearly half of all living beings.

However, with the activation of this Influence Function, everything changed.

The Northern Domain was known for being a desolate place, and even the strongest beings there didn't reach the Boundless Realm. Even if he were to destroy the entire Northern Domain, it might not yield a million system points.

But now, due to ruling the Northern Domain, he would receive one million system points every year. What if it were the more prosperous Eastern Domain or even the Western Domain?

Thinking about this, Chen Daoxuan's eyes brightened considerably.

However, this matter didn't require immediate attention. He could consider thoroughly subduing the Eastern Domain under the protection of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion at a suitable time. As for the Western Domain, which involved the struggle for the imperial throne, it might be necessary for Yanran's strength to further improve before he could bring it under control.

As for the Southern Domain and the most powerful Central Region, Chen Daoxuan hadn't yet come into contact with them, and he didn't have any plans for them at the moment. After all, there was plenty of time ahead to plan these matters.

"Master, Yourong is hungry"

Just as Chen Daoxuan was immersed in the delight of the new function, Yourong pouted her lips and, with a somewhat pitiful look, rubbed her stomach. Especially since she thought she would get to eat spiritual rice, it had already stirred up her appetite. But in the end, it had ended in failure.

"Hmm Got it!"

Seeing his disciple's pitiful expression due to hunger, Chen Daoxuan rubbed his chin in thought for a moment. Eventually, his eyes lit up as he thought of a brilliant idea!

"Both of you, go fetch some fruits and vegetables. I will personally make a hotpot for you!"

Thinking it, Chen Daoxuan did it. While directing the two to get the ingredients, he conjured a peculiar-looking pot out of thin air and set it neatly on a small stove.

"Hot pot? What's a hot pot?"

Upon hearing Master's words, Li Yourong's eyes brightened. Although she didn't know what a hot pot was, she immediately set off in a run to gather the vegetables.

In no time, when Li Yourong and Leng Yanran returned to the small pavilion, they found that Master had poured liquid into the pot, and seasoning had been added to the broth.

"Tsk tsk, I might not be good at other things, but making hot pot is not a problem."

Catching a whiff of the aroma emanating from the hot pot, Chen Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction. The soup base was directly exchanged from the system, after all. "So fragrant! Master, is the pot on fire a type of soup?"

Li Yourong, catching the scent of the hot pot, was even more delighted, greedily taking two sips.

Even Leng Yanran, who usually paid no attention to food and was devoted to cultivation, couldn't help but salivate at the spicy aroma. She had never encountered such delicacies before.

Even the usually sleepy Yu Youwei's nose twitched slightly, and she sat up, lured by the aroma.

The three of them gazed at the pot of hot pot on the small stove for a moment before turning their attention to Chen Daoxuan.

"Cough, although the broth can be consumed, that's not how you eat hot pot. Put the vegetables you like into the pot to blanch them, then give it a taste."

With three pairs of eyes fixed on him, Chen Daoxuan explained while picking up the vegetables that Yourong had brought over and tossing them into the pot.

The three of them nodded repeatedly, imitating one another by selecting their favorite vegetables and placing them into the pot. After a while, as soon as they saw Master picking up his chopsticks to start plucking the vegetables, they followed suit.

"SlurpWoo"

As Li Yourong put the vegetables into her mouth and tasted them, she suddenly choked.

"Hiss Is it really that bad?"

Chen Daoxuan was startled. This wasn't right. It was a product of the system, and it should have been the epitome of excellence. Moreover, with Yourong being a foodie, there was no way it could be so bad that she cried out.

Seeing Yourong's dramatic reaction, Leng Yanran and Yu Youwei, who were about to put their own vegetables in their mouths, halted.

"Master, you're deceiving us! You said you couldn't cook! It's so delicious! Yourong has never had such a tasty meal!"

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on her, Li Yourong stopped sobbing, berating Master for lying about not knowing how to cook. He didn't even give her a chance to taste something so delicious!

It was a hundred times better than the braised goose cooked by Second Elder!

"You really scared us!"

The three of them sighed helplessly, especially Leng Yanran and Yu Youwei. They were quite curious. Just how delicious could it be if it made Yourong, the ultimate food enthusiast, cry with delight?

Without further hesitation, and under everyone's curious gaze, they put the vegetables into their mouths.
