People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Riven said somewhat awkwardly, "This outfit doesn't suit me, does it...?"

Lucifer patted Riven on the shoulder and said, "Perfect! Perfect! Don't wear slippers yet, there are socks here, put on those white shoes too."

"White shoes? White doesn't suit me..."

"Your hair is all white, what are you afraid of? Come here."

When Riven put on the shoes, she was slightly taken aback by the soft insoles and soles under her feet; these shoes were just too comfortable.

Lucifer nodded and said, "The shoes fit perfectly. You and Justice are exactly the same size. That's amazing. But your skin is much fairer than Justice's, and you look more feminine."

Riven paused, pointed to herself, and said, "Me? Feminine?"

"Trust me, it's true. You'll see when they react and Bai Yu react. Hey? Your hair isn't dry."

"Dry it?"

Riven had never used a hair dryer. Lucifer recalled that he hadn't told Riven about hair dryers, and she didn't seem to have used one.

Lucifer pulled Riven to a chair, took out a hairdryer, and Riven asked in surprise, "What's this?"

"It's just a hair dryer, don't be nervous, it's not a weapon. Besides, if it were used against you, it wouldn't wait for you to finish showering and changing clothes; it would kill you with a flick of its finger."

"Huh?! Ugh...."

Riven was still in surprise when she suddenly felt a warm breeze on her head, which made her pause in surprise. Lucifer smiled and said while drying Riven's hair, "Of course, because you are just a human."

"Aren't you human?"

"I am the demon, Lucifer, Queen of Hell."

Riven paused for a moment, then said softly, "It seems the demons aren't as bad as the legends say."

"He's not exactly a good person. Well, he's a married man now, so he should at least change his personality a bit. Besides, I still have a lot of good feelings for you."

"why?"

"Because you saw it too, that white-haired one with sunglasses was also a demon, a righteous demon. Besides her, there are three other demons here, all with white hair. They must have felt a strange sense of familiarity when they saw you."

Riven said softly, "That's quite a coincidence... But can demons also have justice?"

"You're not the first to ask. Demons live in hell, where they judge and punish sinners. In a sense, they're not all that bad. It's just a matter of different stories in different places."

"Mmm...uh..."

Just as Riven was about to say something, she noticed the hairdryer hitting her bangs. Riven subconsciously squinted, and Lucifer laughed and said, "Alright! Done. If I put a horn on you, you might actually be mistaken for a demon."

"I still prefer to be a human being."

"Just kidding. By the way, do you want to tie your hair up?"

"I can do it myself..."

After tying her hair up, Riven looked at her clean and tidy self in the mirror and was slightly taken aback. Lucifer smiled and said, "But I really didn't expect you to be so much whiter after taking a shower. Looks like you've suffered a lot."

"Fortunately... my country betrayed me... I risked my life for my country, accumulating numerous military exploits, but they..."

"I think I understand. Let's talk about it downstairs. But I never expected you to tie your hair up like that."

Riven gave Lucifer a strange look, and Lucifer smiled and said, "Because you look like a warrior and don't see yourself as a woman at all, it's still quite surprising to me that you know how to tie your hair."

"Where we live, many men and women tie their hair up... although most men have short hair."

"So, you still see yourself as a woman, which is a good thing."

Riven was also taken aback. Right, she had thought about tying her hair up when it grew long, but she didn't say she would go straight for a buzz cut. So subconsciously, did she still feel like a woman?

Just as Riven was stunned, Justice walked over and, seeing the completely transformed Riven, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! You've got something special. You're a very pretty girl."

Riven was a little embarrassed by the constant compliments on her looks. She had only been praised for her bravery and tenacity in battle, never for her appearance. However, she still felt it wasn't bad.

Lucifer asked in confusion, "What are you doing here? Weren't you looking at the murderer?"

"As it turns out, even in retirement, I'm still a former chief prosecutor. I guessed right! It was that old man!"

"so what?"

"So I won three cakes and two glasses of juice, great."

"You really are... Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going down to mind the shop."

"You're so virtuous..."

"How is it? It's not working!"

"Okay, that's fine... never mind, I need to talk to you about something later, I'm going back now, bye-bye, by the way, let's exchange fitness tips sometime!"

Chapter 551 Lucifer's Thoughts on Riven, The Girl Arrives (Please Subscribe~)

Riven stood at the bottom of the stairs, completely unsure how to get down. She felt that her current appearance was vastly different from before, and she was terribly embarrassed if she were laughed at.

Lucifer laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's very beautiful!"

Bai Yu had also prepared the meal, and the timing was quite precise. He had considered that Riven might not know the bathing order of people like Lucifer who lived such refined lives, and that it would definitely take some time, so he did not make a dish that could be prepared quickly.

In the end, Riven went downstairs because she wasn't confident enough to watch her food get cold upstairs without anyone noticing; she felt she couldn't be that stupid.

When Riven came down, everyone was stunned. Riven herself was a little embarrassed. Yakumo Ran exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Is this still Miss Riven?! She was already very elegant, but now she's even more beautiful!"

Reimu nodded and looked her over seriously, saying, "She has a great figure and her skin has become whiter. Plus, she was already quite good-looking to begin with. She's really amazing."

Yukari Yakumo said with a smile, "We've really seen a transformation that's even more outrageous than makeup."

Riven felt a little embarrassed, but also relieved. So, she was considered pretty as a woman after all? Thinking about her earlier struggle, she suddenly felt like an idiot.

Lucifer looked at Bai Yu pushing the food cart and said with a smile, "Hey, Bai Yu, look at my taste, isn't this outfit great?"

After looking her over, Bai Yu smiled and said, "Hmm! Very pretty. The outfit gives off a casual and refreshing vibe. Of course, Miss Riven herself has a great figure. There's a saying that's very true."

Riven instinctively asked, "What did you say?"

"If you're good-looking, you'll look good in anything."

Riven turned her head slightly away, while Lucifer snorted and said, "My fashion sense is great too! Clothes make the man!"

"Okay, okay, you're amazing too, no wonder you're the little queen."

"Humph!"

Lucifer was easy to coax by Bai Yu; just one sentence was enough to appease him. Riven found the two of them rather amusing. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Alright, Miss Riven, here's your roasted bear meat. I've already drizzled it with lemon juice. It's similar to Brazilian barbecue, so there's no dipping sauce."

Riven didn't know anything about barbecue; she just knew she was happy to have something to eat. When Bai Yu put the barbecue down, the enticing aroma made Riven's eyes light up. Bai Yu smiled at Riven's expression and said, "And this is the soup you ordered, Thai coconut chicken soup. It's a great choice to whet your appetite and cut through the richness."

Riven nodded, swallowing hard. She could smell the faint aroma of oil and fragrance. Bai Yu continued, "Finally, here's the meat you wanted: boiled beef. I figured you weren't as hungry as last time, so I made this for you. Just let me know if you need more rice."

After the familiar hot oil was poured over the meat, Riven stared blankly at the bright red, fragrant boiled pork slices. The sizzling sound of the hot oil on the meat slices, combined with the aroma and heat of the entire dish, made her understand once again what anticipation meant.

After Bai Yu put the wine down for Riven, Riven looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her and didn't know where to start. In the end, she decided to try the bear meat she had brought herself.

Once you take a bite, the unique flavor of the roasted meat comes out. Bear meat isn't greasy; it's similar to beef in texture and fat density, making it even more delicious.

Riven was instantly captivated by the tender yet chewy meat. She felt incredibly wise; if she had grilled it herself, it would have just been cooked through, which would have been unhygienic and completely tasteless.

Riven didn't just keep focusing on one dish; she quickly thought of the other two dishes on the other side. Riven's way of eating was quite organized.

That is because she is a carnivore, so she naturally ignored the coconut chicken soup on one side and started with the devilishly tempting boiled beef on the other.

Beef always represents a few words: chewy, tender and delicious, with a rich meaty aroma. The texture of beef is completely different from other meats. There is a reason why it can be called a high-end dish. It is truly a pleasure for the palate and taste buds.

The beef was tender and juicy yet still had a satisfying chewiness. Riven had never eaten rice before, but she was still driven by instinct to pick up the bowl with one hand, take a piece of beef, and dab it on the white rice. As the tempting red oil slowly spread from the top of the rice to the surrounding grains, she put it in her mouth.

Chewing, just chewing, before you've even had a chance to fully enjoy the deliciousness or swallow it, your hand automatically picks up some rice, preferably rice with a little bit of red oil, and puts it in your mouth. Only after savoring the aroma of the rice do you reluctantly swallow it.

Riven breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time she had ever eaten such a spicy yet delicious dish. She really felt like she wanted to take another bite as soon as she swallowed it.

Riven's forehead was covered in fine sweat without her realizing it. After rolling up her sleeves, Riven ate while panting heavily, a reaction she only had when she knew the food was spicy and hot.

For a moment, everyone watched as this beautiful silver-haired woman ate her food with gusto, proving that, just like the saying goes, good-looking people look good in anything, watching a beautiful person eat is quite an interesting thing.

Riven didn't have many thoughts. In her view, eating was just eating, and she had to eat quickly. This was something she learned from the army and her escape.

Lucifer whispered, "Riven is surprisingly cute."

"It's probably the experience she gained from the military and fleeing..."

"She's so pitiful... You can tell from her clothes that she's been homeless for a long time and suffered a lot..."

"so what?"

"You know what I'm thinking!"

"You also have to consider Riven's thoughts. By the way, you're really good to Riven."

Lucifer smiled and said, "Because I see what Justice used to be like in Riven, and their hairstyles are also very similar, both being devilish white hair, so I'm bound to like them."

"You're surprisingly concerned about justice..."

"Jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous? Justice is a woman, and she lives here too."

"That's good, don't worry. A lover is more important than a best friend. Hmm? Another guest has arrived..."

Just as the words left her mouth, a girl dressed in a gothic-style dress walked in. Notably, she was carrying two guns. The girl looked around and smiled, saying, "Oh dear, looks like I've stumbled upon an interesting place~"

Chapter 552 The Vigilant Girl, Yakumo Yukari Takes the Initiative (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they saw the girl walk in. What was going on tonight? Was this absurd? Last night was a pirate party, which directly caused a major battle.

What's going on today? Negotiations with guns or a full-blown battle? That's going too far!

Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment, then said blankly, "Um... is it just my imagination...? Why do I feel like all the guests I've met tonight have a penchant for violence? First it was Zoro and Mihawk's swords, then Riven's broken sword, and now there's someone with a gun..."

Lucifer nodded and said, "It does seem a bit too outrageous..."

Bai Yu said gently, "Miss, you..."

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, the girl laughed and said, "Oh my, so many beautiful ladies, and a handsome gentleman too. So, where is this place?"

Hearing the girl's words, Lucifer felt a little strange for no reason. He had a feeling that the girl was acting, or that she wasn't being sincere.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "This is a restaurant in another world, but don't worry, you can go back. Just open the door and you can go back."

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Oh my, this is really interesting. Another world, is it the other world I imagined?"

"Yes."

The girl suddenly smiled and said, "That's really amazing. But this place doesn't look like another world at all. Shopkeeper, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

Yukari Yakumo and the others could also sense that the girl seemed to have some succubus potential; this was clearly a probing attitude, as evidenced by the two guns she was holding that she hadn't put away.

After thinking for a while, Bai Yu said softly, "You're the first person to ask this. How should I put it... it seems like I wouldn't get anything out of trying to fool you, it's pointless."

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I can get it. Today, two people tried to trick me into helping them find the key, and I almost lost my virginity. It was terrifying."

Bai Yu laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. So, would you like to rest here for a bit or have something to eat?"

"Hmm... I just realized your shop is really beautiful, Mr. Manager. It sounds nice to have something to eat here. I'll take it!"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "You really are vigilant."

"Me? You mean this? Would you believe me if I said this was a toy?"

"What do you think?"

The girl stared at Bai Yu for a long time before smiling and saying, "Okay, it's a real gun. Are you worried that I might shoot you in the back, Mr. Shopkeeper?"

Hearing this, everyone chuckled. This time, the girl was stunned. She asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

Lucifer laughed and said, "There are plenty of ways to solve your problem right here in this room."

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I believe you. After all, I'm just a delicate girl."

Yukari Yakumo said with a smile, "You really do enjoy performing."

The girl turned to look at Yukari Yakumo with a smile and said, "Oh dear, I've really been threatened quite a bit."

Yukari Yakumo sighed and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try it. We'd also like to see how the shopkeeper reacts to the woman who attacked him."

Bai Yu sighed and said, "Miss Yakumo, you are surprisingly cruel."
