If There’s No Gourmet Food in Ancient Times, I’ll Become the God of Cuisine Burial of Myriad Splendors 2702 words 2026-03-24 20:32:30

Will I... die?

As Wei Jingjing elaborated step by step, Ming Tian found the reality harder and harder to believe.

Finally, when asked about her own future, Wei Jingjing gave him this reply:

"I don't know what is going on. I can see everyone's future with absolute clarity, except yours. For some reason, everything related to your future is abnormally blurred, and I can only catch faint, indistinct illusions."

"I saw that boy named Mo Wang and the girl named An Mo being thrown into a boiling wok. I saw a man called Cui Jue being pierced by divine machine arrows like a hedgehog just to protect you."

"I saw An Luo and Yin Chan holding hands, falling in a pool of blood. And I saw... at the peak of a mountain of corpses, you holding the lifeless body of Xiao Xinzhu, weeping in helpless agony..."

"Lastly, I saw... thousands of transmigrators of this era, without exception, being brutally slaughtered..."

Wei Jingjing's expression was so grave that it left no room for humor, which only showed how dead serious she was.

Ming Tian trembled slightly. "You... you're saying my future... is like this?"

"I already told you, I cannot see your future clearly; these are merely illusions. If you do not leave Southern Qi, these visions will very likely become your actual future."

With that, Wei Jingjing seemed to have lost all desire to continue the conversation. She closed her photo album and walked away on her own.

Ming Tian stood there in a daze.

My future...

What on earth is going on here?

Watching her slender, retreating figure, Ming Tian felt a chill run down his spine.

Under normal circumstances, Ming Tian would never believe such ghost stories, but Wei Jingjing's words left him with no choice.

She had mentioned Mo Wang, An Mo, Cui Jue, and Pan Yu'er—four people she had never met before. If she truly lacked this ability, how could she possibly have known about them?

Even if Pan Yu'er had now attained imperial power and Wei Jingjing could know of her existence, how else could the other three be explained?

Is this truly my future?

Calming his mind, Ming Tian pondered for a long time before making a decision.

He would head to Sumen Town, see his parents as quickly as possible, and then take them away from Southern Qi to seek refuge among the Di tribe.

If things were truly as Wei Jingjing described, then Southern Qi was no longer a safe place to stay!

Don't panic, there is still time.

He took a deep breath, fighting to steady his nerves, and finally brought his frantic heart rate back to normal.

This era lacked the internet, cars, and airplanes; the spread of information and military movements would be extremely slow.

Even if Pan Yunu had seized imperial power, there should still be plenty of time, so there was no need to rush. The most important thing right now was to return to Sumen Town.

Having made his analysis, Ming Tian lined up the plates one by one and resumed his work for the day.

...That night...

Wei Jingjing arranged a new vacant room for Xinzhu, which finally put Ming Tian's mind at ease.

After all, if last night's events were to repeat themselves, Ming Tian had no confidence in his ability to endure them. His renal function, truth be told, was exceptionally healthy.

Having finished the day's work and taken a bath, Ming Tian walked back to his room.

However, the moment his hand touched the doorknob, he froze.

Outrageous sounds were drifting from inside the room.

"Oh, this is simply amazing." That was Xiao Ji's voice, sounding thoroughly pampered and gratified.

"Brother Ji Ba, didn't I tell you it feels incredible? Ah-wump..." After saying this, An Luo made a sound as if swallowing something.

Crack.

Ming Tian felt himself instantly petrified and cracking apart.

Wait... wait a minute, what are the two of you doing in my room? What's amazing? What feels incredible? What is going on here?

Could... could it be...

Stick_Your_Finger_In_My_A~ss♂!

For some reason, images of King Kong Tathagata Banana-kun and Lord Billy gazing deeply into each other's eyes while floating naked flashed through Ming Tian's mind.

"Mm~ That feels too good!"

"Isn't it awesome, Brother Xiao Ji?"

The voices of the two drifted from the room once more. Those dreamy tones made Ming Tian's scalp tingle.

Awesome? Feels good? Good grief, what kind of banana business are you two conducting in my room?!

Ming Tian felt his sphincter tighten.

Danger! This is way too dangerous! Should I just leave?!

No!

On second thought, Ming Tian dismissed the urge to flee.

An Luo was his buddy, and Xiao Ji was packing a full thirty centimeters! Setting aside whether they had actually swung that way, if Xiao Ji were to poke An Luo, the latter would definitely lose his life!

With something as massive as Xiao Ji, An Luo would end up leaking feces from all seven facial orifices!

No! This perverted behavior must be stopped at once!!!!

Embracing the resolve to die if necessary, Ming Tian mustered his courage and yanked the door open.

However...

The mental image of King Billy and Banana-kun locked in an embrace was nowhere to be found. Instead, An Luo and Xiao Ji were sitting on the tatami mat, sharing a bottle of black, preserved-plum-like pills.

With every single bite they took, the two of them would let out an intoxicated, climax-like "Mm" sound.

Huh? Did I misunderstand?

Seeing the entirely wholesome appearance of the two men, Ming Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ming Tian? You've come at the exact right moment!"

The moment An Luo spotted Ming Tian, he beamed brightly, shaking the medicine bottle in his hand. "Come quick, look at what amazing stuff I found!"

Amazing stuff?

Gazing at the ecstatic expressions of the two beefcakes, Ming Tian couldn't help his curiosity. What on earth could possibly captivate these two—one big, one small, one black, one white—like a pair of enthralled apes?

"What is this stuff?"

Taking the bottle, he inspected it, gave it a sniff, and found that it indeed smelled like preserved plums.

"I don't know, Mr. An Luo found it." Xiao Ji stared obsessively at the medicine bottle in Ming Tian's hand, clearly yearning for another piece. "This stuff is sweet and sour. Once you swallow it, your whole body feels hot and you feel like you're floating to heaven. It feels so amazing, I've never tasted anything like it in my life."

Feeling hot all over? Floating to heaven?

My friend, are you sure this isn't some sort of narcotic?

"Brother Ming Tian, rare opportunity, you should try one too. You definitely won't regret it," An Luo said excitedly, shaking out a pill for Ming Tian.

The pill that fell out was tiny. In both shape and color, wasn't it just a preserved plum?

What on earth could this little pill possibly be?

Whatever, forget it. A single pill surely wouldn't kill anyone.

Facing the burning gazes of the two beefcakes, Ming Tian hesitated for a fraction of a second before popping the item into his mouth.

Right at that moment...

The instant the pill entered his mouth, Ming Tian's door was violently kicked open.

He looked back to see Yin Chan.

Flushed, drenched in sweat, she asked anxiously and urgently, "Ming... Ming Tian, something huge has happened, come help me right now!"

What kind of crisis could make my normally cool-headed Sister Chan panic to this extent?

Ming Tian asked blankly, "What's wrong? Take your time, what's going on?"

Breathing heavily, Yin Chan was clearly frantic.

"I lost my stuff! The medicine I brewed this afternoon—it disappeared right as I was getting ready to take a bath. That is an extremely dangerous drug! It works on both men and women, and an overdose of this super-potent aphrodisiac would keep even a dog in heat for three days and three nights..."

"Oh... an aphrodisiac. I thought... wait, what kind of medicine did you just say?"

"An aphrodisiac, what about it? Have you seen it?"

"You... the aphrodisiac you mentioned... is it... is it this kind?"

Trembling, Ming Tian raised the medicine jar in his hand.

Yin Chan took one look and beamed with joy. "Yes! That's the one!!"

Ugh... ugh... ugh... I... I'm finished!

In a fraction of a second, Ming Tian's heart stopped beating.

Stiffly turning his head back, the scene before his eyes completely shattered Ming Tian's sanity.

Yin Chan!!! Why on earth would you brew something like this?!...............
