Chapter 1032: Chef Bao Recognizes His son!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was heart-wrenching!
When she thought that he was about to die, Yu Wan would rather be angered by him a thousand times or ten thousand times. However, she was really angry and wished she could beat him to death on the spot!
Yu Wan was so angry that she slammed the table! She really wanted to say to him—you’re the fat one! Your entire family is fat!
Yu Wan turned around and left angrily!
On the other side, Shadow Thirteen carried the three little black eggs that were even fatter than her and went to Zhou Jin’s room to continue sleeping.
Yu Wan worked for the entire night. Actually, she was a little tired, but she could not go back to her room. She was worried that she would not be able to control the primordial power in her body and do something irreversible to someone.
She went to Zhou Yuyan’s room.
Zhou Yuyan’s soul-charming technique had already been removed by the Sorcerer King and Zhou Jin. Although she had not woken up for the time being, it was only a matter of time.
Yu Wan hugged the blanket and lay down beside her. After lying down for a while, there was a slight commotion outside. It was the Third Elder bidding farewell to the Sorcerer King.
The two of them stood in the courtyard. The Third Elder asked the Sorcerer King about his future plans. “…Your sorcery power seems to have recovered, and His Highness has also become the new Sorcerer King. What are your future plans? What do you need me to do for you?”
The Soul Rakshasa was dead. Its power had been swallowed by Yan Jiuchao.
The Sorcerer King had recovered, and Zhou Jin had broken through. The Third
Elder was extremely glad that he had entered the Sorcerer King’s camp in time. Otherwise, with the Sorcerer King and the others’ current strength, the entire Elder Hall would probably not be enough for him.
Yu Wan did not hear how the Sorcerer King answered. Yu Wan was a little sleepy and only remembered to say in fear, “…I understand!”
After that, there was a series of horse hooves. Yu Wan guessed that the Third Elder had left. She did not know if the Sorcerer King had left or not. She had fallen asleep.
However, Yu Wan did not sleep for long. She was woken up by Ping’er in a daze.
“Young Madam, Young Madam, something happened!” Ping’er said anxiously. Yu Wan covered her face and yawned. “Is Yan Jiuchao acting up again?” Ping’er choked. “It’s not Young Master, it’s Chef Bao!”
Yu Wan opened her eyes with a shudder. She was no longer sleepy. She lifted the blanket and sat up. “What’s wrong with Grandpa Bao?”
“Chef Bao’s condition isn’t good…” Ping’er had only realized that Chef Bao, who usually woke up early, was sleeping on the bed without any movements when she went to wake him up for breakfast. She tried to call out, but Chef Bao didn’t wake up. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she pushed open the door and entered. In the end, she heard Chef Bao’s weak breathing.
Ping’er’s first reaction was to look for Old Cui, but Old Cui was also unconscious, so Ping’er could only look for Yu Wan.
Yu Wan quickly went to Chef Bao’s room.
Chef Bao had not been well since last night. He only held back his words. He was very vigilant, but when Shadow Six sent him back to his room, he did not wake up at all. This morning, he fell into a faint sleep.
This was not an illness. It was aging.
Grandpa Bao didn’t have long to live.
Ping’er’s heart ached for Young Madam. It wasn’t easy for her to keep Young Master, and she was going to lose Chef Bao. They were both people in her life that she couldn’t part with. How could she withstand this?
The Sorcerer King had just seen Zhou Jin fall asleep when he heard about Chef Bao. He stood up and went to Chef Bao’s room.
Yu Wan was wiping Chef Bao’s hands with a hot handkerchief. Her movements were very gentle, making people feel sad. The Sorcerer King placed his fingertip on the space between Chef Bao’s eyebrows. After a while, he retracted his hand with a solemn expression.
Yu Wan’s hand that was holding the handkerchief paused. “Even you can’t do anything, right?”
The Sorcerer King sighed. “He’s overworked and his body is exhausted.”
Actually, when he was in Lotus Flower Village, Chef Bao was not suitable to travel far. His back was already hunched, and his footsteps had begun to stagger. At that time, if he gave up on looking for his son and stayed in the capital or Lotus Flower Village to recuperate, he would definitely be able to live for two more years.
Yu Wan held Grandpa Bao’s hand tightly, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice, “Grandpa Bao’s greatest wish is to find his missing son since he was young. He’s gone to all the places he can go and searched all the places he can, but there’s no news of his son… Can I… beg you for a favor?”
“Go ahead,” the Sorcerer King said.
Yu Wan looked at Chef Bao and said, “I don’t want Grandpa Bao to leave with regrets. Can you use an illusion to let him… see his son?”
The Sorcerer King said, “It’s enough to look for Zhou Jin for such a small matter. I still have something important to deal with. I’ll come and look for you after I’m done.”
Yu Wan nodded. She had asked him for help, but he had pushed this matter to Zhou Jin. It would be a lie to say that she did not have any thoughts. However, when she thought of the conversation the Third Elder had with the Sorcerer King before he left, she felt that the Sorcerer King’s situation was quite overwrought.
Grandpa Bao was a very important person to her, but not to the Sorcerer King. Since Zhou Jin could handle it, it was understandable for him to ask Zhou Jin to handle it.
Yu Wan nodded at the Sorcerer King.
The Sorcerer King strode out of the room, rode General, and left.
Yu Wan fed Chef Bao some medicine. When Chef Bao woke up, Zhou Jin was already waiting beside him. Zhou Jin’s eyes turned cold, and a powerful sorcery power was forced into Chef Bao’s mind.
Chef Bao’s eyes froze. When he focused again, Zhou Jin was no longer in the room.
“Grandpa Bao, you’re awake?” Yu Wan smiled and placed a bowl of steaming millet porridge and a plate of buckwheat steamed buns on the table. “I just made breakfast. I wonder if it’s to your liking.” Chef Bao smiled kindly. “Ah Wan, have you eaten?” “I’ve eaten!” Yu Wan said with a smile.
“By the way, is Jiuchao back?” Chef Bao asked.
Yu Wan helped him to the table and sat down. “He’s back.”
“Is he alright?” Chef Bao asked with concern.
“He’s fine.” Yu Wan placed the bowl of porridge beside him. “He came back late last night and was a little tired. He’s resting.”
Chef Bao was relieved to hear that Yan Jiuchao was fine. “Where’s Dabao and the others?”
Yu Wan smiled. “Those little fellows won’t wake up until late in the morning!”
Chef Bao was relieved. “That’s good. It’s good that they’re fine.”
“Grandpa Bao.” Yu Wan handed the spoon to him.
“Huh?” Chef Bao turned to look at her.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “After breakfast, I’ll go out with you.”
Chef Bao couldn’t walk anymore, but he would never refuse Ah Wan’s invitation.
“Okay,” he agreed with a smile.
Perhaps it was because he was on his deathbed, Chef Bao’s appetite was not good. He could not eat anymore after eating a little millet porridge. Yu Wan took a cloak for him to put on and helped him out of the house. Just as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw someone standing in the courtyard.
That person had his back facing Chef Bao. He was wearing a navy blue robe and was a little thin. Even though he only saw the back view, Chef Bao felt a trace of familiarity in his heart. He let go of Yu Wan’s hand and walked towards the person in a daze. “You are…”
Yu Wan exchanged glances with Zhou Jin, Shadow Thirteen, and Shadow Six not far away. That person was Dawa, but Chef Bao had been casted with an illusion. He would not be able to tell that it was Dawa. He would only see the face in his heart that he had imagined countless times. Dawa slowly turned around, holding a bag in his hand.
“I’m here to look for my relatives,” said Dawa.
“Who… Who are you looking for?” Chef Bao could not hide his excitement. Dawa said, “I’m looking for my father, old man. Have you seen my father?”
Chef Bao’s eyes trembled with excitement. “What… What does your father look like? What’s his surname? What’s his name?”
“My father’s surname should be Bao. This is a token he left for me,” Dawa said as he took out a recipe book from his bag.
Yu Wan had forged this recipe book. The forged content was not important. What was important was that Chef Bao had been affected by an illusion. What he remembered of the recipe that disappeared with his son would be what he saw.
Unexpectedly, the moment he received the recipe, all the strength in Chef Bao’s body seemed to be sucked out. His body swayed, and everyone’s expressions changed. Dawa hurriedly supported him. “Old man! What’s wrong?”
Everyone looked at Chef Bao in confusion. Wasn’t he too excited? But why did they feel that something was wrong with his excitement?
Chef Bao covered his eyes and cried silently.
“Old man! What… what’s wrong?” Dawa was at a loss! Was he not good at acting? Was his soul-like acting useless?
“There’s no recipe…” Chef Bao cried and smiled. “There’s never been a recipe…
No…”
Yu Wan opened her mouth. “Grandpa Bao…”
Oh no, no matter why Grandpa Bao made up the recipe, their illusion was exposed. They originally thought that it was flawless, but who knew that they would be careless!
Before seeing this recipe book, Zhou Jin’s illusion had been very effective. Chef Bao almost thought that he had really seen his long-lost son, but now… he had just woken up from a dream and understood everything. To be able to make them have such thoughts, he probably really didn’t have much time left. It was impossible for him to see his son in his life.
“Ah…” Chef Bao curled up and hugged his head, crying in pain.
However, at this moment, an unfamiliar voice sounded from outside the courtyard. “Father… father?”
Chef Bao’s body stiffened. He looked out of the door and saw the Sorcerer King walking towards him with a middle-aged man in his thirties..
