After being reborn on the day he was falsely accused, the first thing Su Ji did was cast off the weakness of his previous life, clear his name, and leave the sect.

He also took over an abandoned little canteen nestled among the mountains.

With a superpower that had come from nowhere, Su Ji opened a spiritual field, planted spirit grain, raised spirit beasts, and renovated the little canteen. With a kitten named Matuan in his arms, he lived a life like an immortal.

When the little canteen reopened, disciples from all the sects arrived through the teleportation arrays and looked at the rather shabby place. “This is the first time I’ve seen such a poor canteen. Can the food here really be any good?”

Then they looked at the young, beautiful chef. “Can food made by a pretty face really be any good?”

Su Ji smiled. “Why not give it a try?”

After the disciples from every sect ate their first meal at the little canteen with doubtful expressions, they settled in and became hooked.

Steamed fish fillets: tender, fragrant, and delicious!

Mapo tofu: spicy, savory, and refreshing!

Hot and sour beef: the perfect appetizer!

The chef here wasn’t just good-looking. Even the rice tasted better than the food at their own sect’s canteens!

The disciples from every sect ate their fill and packed food to go. Su Ji was so busy every day that his feet barely touched the ground, and he couldn’t help sighing: Cooking is more exhausting than cultivating immortality!

As the leader of the demon race, Chu Zhaoye ranked the cultivation mishap that returned him to his cub form as the most embarrassing episode of his demon life.

Being adopted by Su Ji as a cub because he was greedy, then getting petted every day, came in second.

Chu Zhaoye put it this way: “I’m not running away only because he works so hard to take care of me every day. I can’t bear to reject him!

“It definitely has nothing to do with my appetite! (Absolutely certain.)”

.

Su Ji: “Mealtime, Matuan!”

Chu Zhaoye: “Matuan is coming!”

Su Ji’s little canteen became a huge hit.

On the first day it went viral, he rescued the chefs from every sect from their appallingly awful cooking and became a welcomed guest of the sect leaders.

On the second day it went viral, he kept introducing new dishes: malatang, mini hot pots, rice sauce, braised duck snacks...

On the third day it went viral, powerful figures from every realm discovered that eating Su Ji’s cooking could actually heal the inner demons that had plagued them for a thousand years!

Now not only were the powerful figures thrown into a frenzy, but the remaining members of the demon race also stormed the canteen.

Just as the various sects rushed over at top speed to protect their target, they saw demonic energy surge over Spirit Grain Mountain. A tall, handsome man dressed in black was holding the person they had come to protect in his arms.

With just one finger, he killed five demon cultivators at the peak of the Great Ascension stage.

Everyone in the cultivation world gaped in shock.

“Wasn’t he the little cat who usually works the register at the canteen? How did he suddenly become the demon king?????”

"Bonus Scene"

When he was still a cat, Chu Zhaoye, a bachelor of a thousand years, often received affectionate cuddles and kisses from Su Ji.

After regaining his human form, Su Ji often received affectionate cuddles and kisses from him.

The tenth time Chu Zhaoye tried to kiss him, Su Ji reacted quickly and covered his mouth.

“Why do you keep kissing me?”

Chu Zhaoye pried his hand away and gave him another deep kiss.

“An exchange of courtesies.”

[Some readers mentioned the setting about healing inner demons~ Just to clarify: these inner demons are not the kind that come from cultivation going awry. In this story, inner demons are a form of attack used by the demon race. They can parasitize cultivators, and after the Host dies, they seek out new Hosts to torment. Since the same term is used for both, I wanted to explain it so there’s no confusion~]

*In this story, the dishes and seasonings we know in our world also exist. Nothing too outrageous, so just have fun reading~

Preorder: My Disabled Tycoon Went Gay After I Applied to Be His Male Nanny. Blurb below↓↓ Please add it to your collection, thank you everyone =3=

Shen Yi'an spent his early childhood in an orphanage, where he could barely get enough to eat each day.

Later, an elderly couple adopted him, but before he could get into college and repay them, they both passed away, leaving Shen Yi'an to support himself with odd jobs.

Even his college tuition was paid for with student loans.

For the first twenty-something years of Shen Yi'an’s life, everything revolved around one word: being broke.

To afford his expensive tuition and support himself, Shen Yi'an decided to return to working two jobs a day.

While searching every corner of a job app for part-time work, he came across this listing:

Urgently hiring a male nanny, age 18 or older. Requirements: can cook, quiet personality, good-tempered (IMPORTANT). Salary: 100,000 a month.

Looking at that dazzling number, Shen Yi'an smiled.

A hundred thousand a month just for cooking? Only a fool would believe that.

[Job App]

Shen “Fool” Yi'an: Hello, here’s my resume.

.

When he saw the job listing, Shen Yi'an thought it was a scam to fleece him.

He still thought so when he met the interviewer.

But when he first arrived at the Fu residence and saw the thousand-acre mansion before him, which could only be described as an estate, his hands trembled and he finally believed it.

So people really did pay 100,000 a month for a male nanny.

On his first day as a male nanny, Shen Yi'an learned that his employer was an overbearing CEO with an injured leg:

Rich, handsome, an old man, and disabled.

To make sure his employer had a good experience, and to earn his 100,000 monthly salary, Shen Yi'an worked diligently every day, fussing over him and asking after his well-being.

The ice in the old man’s eyes melted a little more each day.

And the way he looked at Shen Yi'an grew stranger with every passing day.

On the day his contract expired, Shen Yi'an went to say goodbye to his employer.

He thought that the moment he finished his farewell, he would be on the subway back to school.

Instead, he found himself sitting on his employer’s lap.

A pair of strong hands wrapped around his waist. With the alertness of a small animal, Shen Yi'an ventured, “...Mr. Fu?”

Fu Que held him tight, savoring the soft touch beneath his hands. His deep voice sounded beside the young man’s ear. “You wear white shirts and parade in front of me every day, and now that you’ve seduced me, you want to run away?”

Shen Yi'an: “?”

That’s because white shirts are cheap!
