I Opened a Restaurant in the Cultivation World

[My new novel, The Seductive Beauty’s Guide to Rising from the Bottom in Quick Transmigration, is now out! So much sweetness, so much fun! Please add it to your collection!] After transmigrating into a good-for-nothing cultivation novel about a domineering protagonist, Yu Xiaotan thought he’d get to experience cultivation for himself. But he never imagined that his aptitude would be even worse than the good-for-nothing male lead’s. Kicked out of his sect, Yu Xiaotan had no choice but to return home. The moment he stepped inside, he was horrified: The once tall, multi-story “restaurant” had become a wooden shack made of thatch. The ten acres of fertile “estate” had been reduced to a patch of dirt no bigger than a well cover. The elderly, sickly uncle took his hand and said in a faint voice, “Xiaotan, don’t... don’t be sad. We absolutely didn’t sell off our property to pay for your cultivation...” Yu Xiaotan: “...QAQ” Just then, a voice rang in his ears: [Ding! All-Purpose Management System activated. Host, build the most famous restaurant in the cultivation world.] The System can do ten things at once. It provides spirit seeds, spirit ingredients, and spirit beasts, and the dishes it makes even grant stat boosts. [Fortune +1] [Aptitude +1] [Appearance +1] Ever since Yu Xiaotan started eating dishes made with the System’s ingredients, his constitution improved, he became even more beautiful, the uncle recovered from his illness, and even the sect that had kicked him out came begging him to add a couple more drops of soy sauce to his dishes, for the stat boosts, out of respect for their former fellowship. The restaurant became famous throughout the cultivation world, and its most devoted fans flocked there. The villains’ eyes gleamed as they started hatching a scheme: This restaurant owner looks so frail. Why don’t we just... Before they could come up with a plan, a clear cry rang out, followed by a sharp sword light slicing through the air. The snow-white-robed sword cultivator stood proudly among the clouds, elegant and handsome, holding aloft a mud-covered hoe. He smiled and asked, “Xiaotan, I’ve finished harvesting the vegetables. What should I do next?” The evil cultivators: “!!!” Isn’t that the former young sect master of one of the top sects, whose cultivation was ruined? How could his injuries, which even the Medicine Immortal couldn’t heal, have recovered completely on this little estate...? At first, Yu Xiaotan took Ji Chuchen on because he wanted someone to do odd jobs on the estate. By the time he realized this man was the domineering male lead of the original novel, Ji Chuchen had already shed his gloomy disposition from the story and become a capable head steward, skilled at everything from sweeping to tending the courtyard. Yu Xiaotan: “...That, that actually seems pretty good?” He never imagined that Ji Chuchen seemed considerate and gentle on the outside, but was hiding a secret in his heart. Ji Chuchen: I want to do the estate owner :) Theme: Build a prosperous life through hard work.
