The dragon awoke from her slumber and discovered that a Demon King's Castle had been built where she'd been sleeping, and that someone had hauled off some of her gold coins. The dragon was furious.

Kamei easily defeated the Demon King, then looked at the magnificent castle and felt miserable.

It was all built with her gold!

Kamei decided to make money from the Demon King's Castle. At the very least, she had to earn back all the gold she'd lost.

But the castle never rests! That wouldn't do. So Kamei announced that the Demon King's Castle would be taking three days off.

The heroes outside the gates: ? Listen to yourself!

When she heard that the heroes were being kept out, Princess Ariel of the Kingdom of Falan grew curious. She secretly followed a hero into the Demon King's Castle.

The monsters inside were no match for her, and Ariel made her way to the throne. There, she saw a beautiful woman sitting on it, haughty and languid.

Ariel hid and watched as the Demon King waved a hand and knocked the hero down, then sat on her throne and sighed.

"This one's poor too. Sigh, when will I earn my money back?"

Ariel: Hmm? This Demon King is a bit odd.

Rules of the Demon King's Castle:

First, all monsters must hand over half the gold they swindle from heroes to His Majesty the Demon King.

Second, Miss Ariel is free to roam the Demon King's Castle.

Third, no 996 or 007 work schedules in the castle. Anyone who doesn't want a break can be sent back to the furnace for reprocessing.

Fourth, Miss Ariel outranks everyone in the castle.

Fifth, who wrote that last rule? I'm the one who outranks everyone in the castle. Don't make things up.

Next novel: "I'm the God of Cooking, Not the God of War"

Qin Ling transmigrated, and when she woke up, all she had in her head was an incomplete God of Cooking System.

Gaming addict Qin Ling was instantly overjoyed. The God of Cooking System could collect ingredients to unlock recipes, and the food she made could do things including, but not limited to, restore status and provide various buffs.

Just as Qin Ling happily prepared to show off her skills, she ran into a huge problem. She had no ingredients.

Chu Qingzhu followed her elders from the sect on a training expedition, and helped recruit new disciples along the way. A little girl in the crowd waiting to have her talent tested kept staring at her with burning eyes, as if Chu Qingzhu were an ingredient.

In an era when magical beasts and humans lived in harmony, hardly anyone looked at her that way.

Then the girl became her junior sister. Oh, and she also liked picking up Chu Qingzhu's hair.

Chu Qingzhu: What a mess. Master took in an idiot.

After the System reminded her, Qin Ling often picked up the hair her senior sister had shed. It was a high-grade ingredient for making buff-granting dishes!

Qin Ling declared that she absolutely adored her senior sister.

Chu Qingzhu: Bullshit. You only love my hair.

Qin Ling: Be good, Senior Sister. I love you too. Mwah!

Blushing, Chu Qingzhu turned her head aside and let Qin Ling tug at her hair.

Everyone knew Qin Ling was an incredible fighter who often wore her opponents down. But only Chu Qingzhu knew she could beat them simply because she could eat.

God of War? What a joke. She's the God of Cooking.
