Master Chef Tang Sanzang [Journey to the West]

[I'm out of ideas, so updates are irregular. This isn't abandoned, but I recommend waiting until it's complete before reading.] They say Tang Sanzang is a monk of great renown. They say a single bite of Tang Sanzang's flesh can grant immortality. They say Tang Sanzang couldn't even hurt a chicken. The monsters rubbed their hands together, waiting for Tang Sanzang to walk right into their traps. But after they all fell into Tang Sanzang's hands, they wept and warned the monsters who came after them: The monsters have been tricked! That monk's false advertising, and he's ruthless! It's all a scheme to have his disciples plunder the monsters' possessions! One day, the protagonist transmigrates and discovers that he's become a bald monk, with a Gourmet System to boot. A pilgrimage to the West? Monsters along the way? And he's the monk Tang with the flesh of immortality? He rubs his bald head and looks at the monsters charging toward him, wearing a merciful smile... The bear demon's finest honey. The lion demon's collection of immortal nectar. Benevolent indeed, benevolent indeed. The monsters are kindly providing him with ingredients and travel money. [Notice: This story goes premium on January 1, this Wednesday.

The ending will be either one-on-one or no romantic pairing. No shipping wars. 2. Inspired by the original Journey to the West and various mythological sources. Changes to the setting are normal. 3. This story does not disparage Buddhism or Taoism. It's not an angst-ridden story, and has no conspiracy theory about the two religions being at odds. It's just lighthearted entertainment. 4. It is correct for a Tang Dynasty monk to call himself “a poor Daoist.” When Buddhism first arrived in China, monks called themselves that along with Daoist priests. The title “a poor monk” only became standard in the Yuan Dynasty. So don't ask. The author just likes using it, thank you :) Theme: Promote Chinese cuisine and travel through our motherland's beautiful landscapes.
