Chapter 80 Brave Yet Stupid
Then Jie Deng looked at the three mysterious figures on the roof and slightly bowed his head in their direction."Seniors, we still have much to prepare for the Secret Realm. We hope you all don't mind, but we cannot personally entertain you. If there is a chance in the future, we hope you will grant us the honor."
Jie Deng deliberately said 'we' while glaring at Chu Wen from the corner of his eyes.
'Just you wait old bastard.' Chu Wen thought viciously, with a hint of killing intent flashing in her green reptilian eyes. 'After I'm done dealing with the three of them, it won't be too late to deal with you.'
'Hmm?' Lucian silently frowned when he sensed killing intent directed at them.
'Interesting. What a petty woman.'
Fenwick noticed Lucian's expression and whispered, "Did something happen?"
Lucian shrugged and replied quietly, "Chu Wen is harboring malicious intentions toward us. You and Lily should be careful."
Fenwick nodded with a frown, while grateful for the advice. If not for his words, he would have never known.
After a few moments, Fenwick finally replied to Jie Deng, "It's fine, we don't mind."
He hoped they would leave soon. As for visiting their manors? That would never happen. He was too busy for such a thing.
After hearing his response, he and the other Ancestors jumped off their towers and went to their respective manors to prepare.
For a long few minutes, even after the Ancestors had left, none of the residents reacted. What they heard was too shocking and sudden to make a decision. After all, it concerned their lives.
Back on the roof, Lily leaned closer until her lips were next to Lucian's ears before whispering in a voice only he could hear.
"Big Brother Lucian, we have to hurry or your rewards will be stolen by others."
Despite not hearing what Lily had said, Fenwick's eyes twitched with displeasure.
'I've watched you grow from when you were just born, yet now you are keeping secrets from me!?'
"There's no reason to be in a rush. Without the key, which only I have, the Moon Grove Forest Secret Realm will never open." Lucian whispered back into her ears. His warm breath brushing against her cheeks caused an electrical jolt to run down her body.
'T-too close! Big Brother Lucian is too close!' Lily's cheeks reddened as she backed away from him. Earlier, she had been too focused. Therefore, when she had whispered into his ear, she had not realized how close she was to him.
Lucian silently chuckled at her adorable reaction.
"I've decided!" Suddenly, a middle-aged Human man spoke, breaking the silence that had lasted for many minutes.
Instantly, everyone's gazes turned to him, making him slightly nervous.
Only after a moment of silence, did she giggle, "Hehehe~! Big Brother Lucian is really bad~!"
Fenwick shook his head tiredly.
"Are you going inside the Secret Realm, Lily?"
"Of course." Lily nodded.
"Very well. I know I can't stop you."
Lily's eyes widened in surprise. "Does that mean Uncle Fen will allow me to go?"
"I don't have a choice but to allow you to go. But that doesn't mean I'll allow you to go alone. I'm coming with you. And don't worry about your mother. She will be perfectly fine."
'... I wasn't going alone.' She pouted and glanced profoundly at Lucian.
"Let's go," Lucian said after their conversation ended.
After a few minutes, they arrived in front of his restaurant, which automatically unlocked as he reached for the doorknob.
"I'll be done packing in a few minutes," Lucian said to them and entered his messy kitchen.
[Host, everything within the kitchen has been contaminated by the Drunken Monkey Blood Wine. Normally, the Runic Symbols would have cleaned the kitchen and all equipment; however, they have been destroyed. Even if they were not destroyed, the lightning from the Universal Tribulation has caused irreparable damage to the entire kitchen.] The System suddenly said.
[Then what do you suggest?] Lucian asked.
[Since it was the System's fault that caused the kitchen to be ruined, I will provide a temporary portable kitchen with all necessary equipment. However, do keep in mind that you can only keep it until you have sufficient space for the remodeling of your restaurant.]

Temporary Grade Zero Portable Kitchen has been added.

[Don't think for a second that this is enough for me to forgive you after giving me a future calamity to babysit.] Lucian indifferently said before remembering, [Also, where is my free Chef's Uniform?]
Just after Lucian spoke, a dark purple mist covered his body, and the white and gold robe he was wearing disappeared before being replaced with a white Chef's Uniform. At the same time, a Chef's Hat appeared on his head.
[Not bad! It seems after you're Rank was forcefully upgraded you became more competent.] Lucian praised the System in a serious tone, leaving the System speechless.
Meanwhile, within the dining area, Lily and Fenwick calmly sat at one of the tables, waiting for Lucian to finish packing.
"Lily, a Secret Realm is no joke. It's not a playground where anyone can enter and leave." Fenwick said seriously while glancing at Lucian through the kitchen window.
