Unedited Chapter

Wang Wei looked at the trembling Hui Mengwei and said: "Cam down. I wouldn't have waited so long if I wanted to do something to you."
"Sir, I'm just too excited and can't control myself," Hui Mengwei swiftly answered. He knew a great opportunity was about to befall him, so he did not want his cowardness, or anything for that matter, to ruin it.
"That's good," Wang Wei nodded, not caring whether he was telling the truth or not. "My wife once despised me because I cannot cook or because I don't have as fancy of a tongue as her. As a man who can hold both Heaven and Earth in his heart, how can I tolerate such a thing?"
Hui Mengwei looked at him in shock. This is not where he thought this conversation would go. 'I didn't expect even these gods would also tremble under their wife's wrath,' Hui Mengwei thought before his body was once again overwhelmed by fear. All he could think about was whether his small body could survive the confrontation between these Gods. Even if he survived, he might be wiped out for knowing too much. After all, this God might not want others to know his wife suppresses him.
Hui Mengwei wanted to cry but dared not. He thought this was a chance to change his life, but he got himself in between the martial dispute between Gods and would be wiped out as a consequence. Wang Wei noticed his sudden emotional fluctuation and checked. He was speechless. This man had a vivid imagination.
'Well, it's not a bad thing if he can use it for cooking,' Wang Wei thought before continuing. He pointed the artifact in his hand, and it fused with Hui Mengwei's forehead.
"Out of pride, I made a bet with her that one day, I would make her the best banquet in the world," Wang Wei continued. "I must keep my promise, but I'm also busy. The Dao of Cooking is profound, and if I only study it half-heartedly, I don't know when I'll be able to fulfill the bet."
Wang Wei had a half-smile on the corner of his mouth as he glanced at Hui Mengwei.
"This is where you come in. I've granted you an artifact that will train you to be the best cook in the world. I want you to build a clan based on the Dao of Cooking, creating the best and most unique recipes in the world, and I'll come to get them. Do you understand?"
"Lord," Hui Mengwei said, immediately kneeling on the ground. "I will go through fire and thunder to complete your mission."
"Good. I hope you remember your words," Wang Wei nodded, deciding not to restrain Hui Mengwei or his family in any way. This can be considered a test for him. If his family can continue their mission and serve Wang Wei faithfully after acquiring a significant amount of power, then it will be fine. If they let the power get to their heads and deny their mission, Wang Wei will just eliminate them and choose someone else.
He waved his hand, teleporting Hui Mengwei home. The latter was confused about what had happened until he realized where he was. "Truly the method of immortals," Hui Mengwei commented in envy. However, he soon regained his bearing as he understood he might have such power in the future. Hui Mengwei did not immediately leave this room but took this opportunity to communicate with the artifact in his mind.
The conversation lasted for over an hour, and Hui Mengwei had a strange expression once he opened his eyes. Wang Wei laughed after seeing this. "Boy, how can you build a Cooking Clan with only one wife and two children? You should thank me."
