Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

The restaurant opened as usual the next day, but unfortunately, not many people came.

After all, such a thing happened just last night, and every household had their doors tightly shut, with very few shops open on the street.

Wen Nuan went out for a stroll early in the morning, but came back with her head down.

Hall was working when he looked up and saw her like this. He quickly walked over, bent down, and looked at her face.

"What's wrong? You look so gloomy first thing in the morning."

Wen Nuan looked up in despair, her face filled with hopelessness. "There's not a single person here. How am I supposed to do business? My mission... Waaaaah..."

She slumped onto the table, tears welling up in her eyes, her face spread out like a pancake.

Patting her on the back, Hall comforted her, "Don't worry, it's only the first day, we still have time."

Wen Nuan looked up and sniffed. "But the target for this mission is not a small number. If this continues, I definitely won't be able to complete the mission."

Furthermore, with all their spiritual power and skills gone, this world seems destined for a disastrous start.

On the other side, Chu Ze walked over, placed the white fungus and lotus seed soup he was carrying in front of her, and then sat down.

"Don't worry, I guarantee your task will be completed on time."

"How can you be so sure?" Wen Nuan looked at him suspiciously. "Also, shouldn't you go back to your palace to check?"

She had assumed that this person would go back with that person last night, but instead she sent him away.

He poured himself a glass of water, took a slow sip, and said, "Why go back? I'm no longer the emperor."

Wen Nuan blinked, her eyes sparkling with gossip. "Are you planning to hand over the empire to someone else? That's an empire you built with your own hands!"

Chu Ze paused, holding his teacup, and slowly began to speak, "To this world, I am merely a passerby now."

He will still leave once the mission is completed.

"If you're worried about the contract, I can talk to Xiao Liu and we can terminate it so you can stay in your own world. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Wen Nuan thought he was worried about that, so she kindly offered to help.

At worst, we can just trade some health points with Xiao Liu later.

Hearing this, Chu Ze didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he frowned and said, "Who said I wanted to terminate the contract and stay here?"

Then, glaring at Wen Nuan, she asked, "Are you trying to dump me?"

Wen Nuan was taken aback by his sudden reaction. "I... I just thought you wanted to..."

After all, here, Chu Ze is the king of a country above all others, able to get whatever he wants.

But if I stay at the restaurant, I can only be a waiter.

People who used to be waited on every day are now the ones who have to wait on others.

Wen Nuan sometimes admires Chu Ze for being able to adapt so well.

Looking at Chu Ze's angry profile, Wen Nuan scratched her head in confusion.

She meant well, so why is this person angry?

Also, what does "dumped him" mean? It makes her sound like a heartless man who started something and then abandoned it...

Seeing Wen Nuan's innocent expression, Chu Ze gritted his teeth in anger and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

"You're really...heartless! You're going to drive me crazy sooner or later!"

Nuan cried out in pain, "Ouch, why did you pinch me?"

Chu Ze snorted, "This will teach you a lesson. Stop making wild guesses about what I'm thinking."

Nuan rubbed her cheeks and muttered, "I just don't understand why you would give up being the emperor and stay here."

If it weren't for the fact that she needed to rely on the restaurant to make a living, she wouldn't bother doing this job. Wouldn't it be better to enjoy life?

No one else in the restaurant paid them any attention, as if they were already used to the two bickering, each going about their own business.

Seeing Chu Ze's unpleasant expression, Wen Nuan softened her tone and said, "Alright, alright, it was my fault. I shouldn't have guessed what you were thinking. Right now, let's focus on the mission."

The person's expression improved slightly, and Wen Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pondering to herself.

As expected of an emperor, his heart is unfathomable, and he's truly difficult to please...

"Ahem, well..." Wen Nuan cleared her throat, "You just said you were sure you could complete the mission, what's going on? Do you have a way?"

Chu Ze glanced at her and tapped the table with his fingers.

Wen Nuan immediately nodded in understanding, picked up the teapot to pour him tea, and then respectfully placed it in his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, please!"

"Hmm." Chu Ze took the teacup with satisfaction, took a small sip, and slowly said, "Why do you think I let them leave last night?"

His eyes flickered slightly. "Just watch, those who can't wait will soon be coming to our door."

If someone who should have disappeared reappears, and this person is just an ordinary person, then it is definitely a joyous occasion.

But if that person is a member of the royal family, and a former emperor at that.

For some people, this might not be so pleasant.

Wen Nuan nodded as if she understood, then asked doubtfully, "But what can they do even if they come?"

Even if a dozen or so people come at once, they won't eat much, and the task still won't be completed.

Chu Ze clicked his tongue, "You're so stupid, you won't admit it."

warmth,"……"

I will endure!

Chu Ze beckoned Wen Nuan closer with his finger, and then lowered his voice as she leaned over.

"When they come over, you do this...and that..."

Wen Nuan listened, her eyes lit up, and she nodded in sudden understanding.

Then she looked at him with a strange expression, "You really are... cunning to come up with something like this!"

Chu Ze pretended to raise his hand, but when he saw the person immediately back away, he withdrew his hand and said irritably, "Who am I doing this for?"

Wen Nuan stuck out her tongue. "Okay, I know it's to help me complete the task. I'll go prepare now."

After saying that, he ran off to the side and got busy.

Chu Ze watched her retreating figure, shook his head helplessly, but his eyes held a hint of barely perceptible doting affection.
