Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi reclaimed the Aka family's real estate, corporation, recipes, and assets.

As for the money that the Ruan family spent, Ruan Dan and Ruan Nuo'er took out loans to repay it. They will have to earn money to pay back the bank after they finish their prison sentence.

Si Hui was sentenced to fifty years in prison and exiled to the most remote planet for two hundred years after his release.

Upon learning the result, he was stunned, not understanding why the crime was so serious, and why he was still appealing.

His appeal was rejected, and a prison guard kindly advised him, "You should calm down while the anger over there subsides."

Leaning closer to Si Hui, she whispered, "That Chi Xing's boyfriend is from the Lan Xing Xuan family. You almost killed him, this is already the best outcome."

Si Hui stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"Tsk, believe it or not, that Ruan Nuo'er already knew about this, and she even asked you to deal with Chi Xing."

The prison guard gave him a pitying look and then left.

Si Hui's anger reached its peak as she gritted her teeth and said, "Ruan Nuo'er, how dare you play me?"

As the prison guard left, he sent a message to Chi Lin via his personal terminal: "I told you, Si Hui is indeed very angry. Once Ruan Nuo'er gets out, she's definitely not having a good time."

Chi Lin: [Okay.]

On the other side, Ruan Nuoer, who almost fainted from crying, also learned that Chi Xing was with the person who bought the planet.

That person wasn't Yu Mingyuan, but the young master of Lanxing.

How could Akahoshi be worthy of him?

After fighting with Chi Xing for so many years, in the end, not only will he have to go to prison, but he will also have to pay off his debts along with Ruan Dan.

"My goodness, it smells so good! This dish called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is so delicious."

"I knew Akahoshi would win the championship; he's definitely the best chef this year."

Ruan Nuoer heard a familiar name and looked out through the iron bars. The big screen outside was showing the final of today's cooking competition.

Akahoshi, dressed in a chef's uniform, and ten others entered the finals. Among these ten, a champion, runner-up, and third-place winner were determined, and even the lowest-ranked person received a reward of 100,000 star coins.

Through sharing, Ruan Nuoer smelled the aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by Chi Xing.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, a famous dish from ancient China, is naturally on the menu, and it's even placed on the first page.

Ruan Nuo'er had tried countless times without success, but Chi Xing actually succeeded.

"How is this possible? It's impossible. How could Akahoshi do such a thing?" He murmured in disbelief.

"I can't take it anymore, it smells so good. Just watching Akahoshi pour that broth over rice makes me envious of the people who get to eat it."

Several prison guards were practically drooling at the sight, and could only keep drinking their nutrient solution.

The scene of the game.

Akahoshi ladles a spoonful of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall onto each serving of rice. The thick, golden, and clear broth is poured over the rice, and its savory aroma hits right to the soul.

There are no restrictions on the ingredients for this competition. You can prepare the food at home via live stream, but you must deliver the finished product to the venue for everyone to taste and share.

With enough time, the first thing that came to Akahoshi's mind was the famous dish Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Let's start the live stream two days earlier.

Early on, they started simmering old hens and pork bones to make a rich broth, which took more than 30 hours to cook, and then added Shaoxing wine to adjust the flavor.

More than 30 kinds of rich ingredients, such as abalone, sea cucumber, scallops, fish maw, and mushrooms, are added to an earthenware pot and simmered in broth for eight hours.

After completion, Akahoshi brought the food delivery robot to the site.

Xuan Ziyu went along too, but he had already tasted Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before he went; Chi Xing had made a jar for him separately.

As the judges on stage savored the delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Akahoshi heard someone calling him from behind.

"Um, Akahoshi, may I try some of your cooking?"

Yuntu was a little embarrassed, but Chixing's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was so delicious that Yuntu felt his roast duck couldn't compare.

"of course."

Akahoshi was generous; the jar wasn't small, and it was filled with plenty of ingredients, with enough broth for dozens of people to enjoy.

It's just for tasting, but eating it with rice might fill you up.

Akahoshi figured it out and didn't hesitate, letting the staff help distribute it.

On the large screen behind him, Akahoshi's vote count continued to climb, directly taking the lead by a wide margin.

The judges gave him full marks.

This time, the guy named Lao Yang wasn't there. I heard he's been sued by the platform for breach of contract and is going to jail.

The second place went to Yuntu, whose roast duck was so fragrant that even Xuan Ziyu couldn't help but salivate at the aroma.

Akahoshi noticed the poor little guy secretly swallowing his saliva, so he still put a few pieces of roast duck on a plate.

Xuan Ziyu shook his head: "It's not as good as what you make."

Nonsense, he almost broke his back that day, I can't let him get jealous again.

With eyes full of doting affection, Akahoshi placed the plate in front of him and said softly, "Eat up. I won't bully you this time. I'll make you something even better when we get home."

"Really?" Xuan Ziyu's eyes lit up.

"Really, my young master, you are now my golden goose."

Since Xuan Ziyu's identity was revealed, everyone has envied Chi Xing.

Once everyone realized that the top-ranked Jade Cat was Xuan Ziyu, they understood why Yu Mingyuan couldn't receive as many gifts as Jade Cat—because this guy was a true prince.

Xuan Ziyu arrogantly raised his chin and snorted, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

They picked up a piece of roast duck, gave it to Akahoshi first, and then took a bite themselves, savoring the meal together.

The roast duck was really good, at least at the level of a restaurant that could open during the ancient Blue Star era. If Red Star hadn't participated, Cloud Atlas would have been the undisputed number one.

On the judges' panel, Chi Yu took a bite of sea cucumber and leaned over to talk to Yu Mingyuan.

"Look how loving they are, you'll never be the other woman."

Yu Mingyuan paused in his eating, a silent smile playing on his lips, as if casually asking:

"Oh dear, what am I going to do? I'll never have a boyfriend in the future."

Chi Yu swallowed the food in his mouth, his eyes darting around, and whispered, "Then, then you can come to me, I don't have a boyfriend either."

He didn't dare look at Yu Mingyuan. This person had never liked him since he was a child, so how could he possibly date him?

Not receiving a reply from Yu Mingyuan, Chi Yu quickened his eating pace. He felt a little sad after his first confession was rejected.

Suddenly, someone grasped the hand that was holding the bowl, and Yu Mingyuan chuckled softly as he said:

"Chi Yu, if I don't tell you, will you never realize that I like you in this lifetime?"

Chi Yu stared blankly at the hand he was holding, speechless:

"You, you like me?"

Yu Mingyuan's smile widened: "I didn't like it before, I like it now, and I might like it even more in the future."

Chi Yu noticed the camera was turning towards her, quickly pulled his hand under the table, and whispered:

"I'm a very loyal person. If you like me, I like you too."

[The main characters in this world have changed; the protagonist is now the top (gong) Yu Mingyuan, and the bottom (shou) Chi Yu.]

Upon hearing 250's voice, Akahoshi raised an eyebrow at the two exchanging glances and couldn't help but chuckle.

In his heart, Ayu is the protagonist.

Akahoshi won the title of the number one chef, along with a trophy and prize money.

His platform followers quickly surpassed 100 million, which led to numerous job offers from top restaurants.

Akahoshi refused them all.

Half a month later, he had someone help manage the Chi family's businesses that had been changed back, and he uploaded the Chi family's recipes to the public, which were indeed stamped with the Chi family's seal.

Those die-hard fans who continued to insult Chixing after Ruan Nuoer went to prison were severely humiliated.

—I knew Ruan Nuo'er was the fake one.

—The Chi family originally belonged to Chi Xing. Ruan Dan, that gigolo, deserves to die.

—Breaking news: Ruan Dan will be executed next month, and his debts will be repaid by Ruan Nuoer.

—Serves him right. He's the one who slowly poisoned Xingxing's mother. Ruan Dan deserves to die.

—Exactly, that's too vicious. And Ruan Nuoer, that mistress's mother, should also die.

—She's clever enough to have no leverage over her, but it's alright, she'll still have to pay off Ruan Nuo'er and Ruan Dan's debts.

—This is truly gratifying.

Akahoshi ignored the comments, said a few words, and then logged off.

He's going to Blue Star with Xuan Ziyu today.

The interstellar spacecraft was very fast. After arriving on Blue Star, Chi Xing met Xuan Ziyu's parents.

One meal was all it took to win over the whole family, and three days later they held a wedding of the century for the two of them.

Chixing later learned about the genetic compatibility and that Ayu's family had already accepted him and started preparing for the wedding.

A lot of people were invited to the wedding, but Chi Xing only had Xuan Ziyu on her mind. After toasting, she took him and flew directly back to Planet B011.

The construction team had previously built the couple's new house.

"Do you like it, Xingxing?" Xuan Ziyu was being held by him, her head nuzzling against his neck.

Akahoshi lowered her head and kissed him, her voice slightly tinged with alcohol: "I like you, but I like you even more."

He carried Xuanziyu straight to the bridal chamber, expressing his affection through his actions.

*

Xuan Ziyu often took Chi Xing to tour Blue Star. Chi Xing gave the people of Blue Star a lot of seeds and taught them how to grow vegetables.

Blue Star was already a dominant force in planting and breeding, and with Red Star's help, they developed even tastier and higher-yielding vegetables and fruits in less than six months.

As mentioned before, Chixing opened restaurants on both Dixing and Lanxing. He would occasionally stay on Lanxing for a short while, but most of the time he would stay on B011 with Xuanziyu.

The planet B011 was no longer desolate; instead, it was filled with technologically advanced buildings. The vegetable gardens were all cultivated, watered, and harvested by machines, with Chi Xing and Xuan Ziyu occasionally doing the work themselves.

But Akahoshi always cooks.

Looking at the meat being grilled in front of him, Xuan Ziyu took a deep breath: "Xingxing has spoiled me rotten."

Akahoshi cut the fried meat into small pieces and fed it to him while saying:

"Yes, so you can't leave me and you have to stay with me all the time."

With someone by your side, the nebulae here no longer seem sparse, and even the air smells sweet.
