After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1234 - 1231: Once

was personally delivered by Xia Jingshen into Bi Xia’s spiritual sea and personally built three barriers within her body by Xia Jingshen. But all this... was not to make Bi Xia stronger, nor to protect Bi Xia, but... to protect himself and... Xia Shi.Just like the Beijing Xu Family, in ancient times, the Xia Family and the Xu Family were both Imperial Chefs in the palace, but at that time, Xia Family cuisine was more renowned than the Xu Family Banquet.

However, with the change of dynasties and the passage of history, it was evident that the Xu Family was better at currying favor with the powers that be. When the new ruler ascended the throne, the Xu Family seized the opportunity to suppress the Xia Family, forcing them to hand over the Xia Family’s recipes. However, because the ancestors of the Xia Family sent the younger generation out of the city, they created a fake Xia Family recipe in a blood-splattered estate. The young ones escaped with the true Xia Family recipes and settled in a small village.

By the time Xia Jingshen’s generation arrived, the Xia Family had become scattered and fragmentary. Xia Jingshen was considered a direct descendant of the Xia Family, but in this era, few held onto the old grudges and so-called recipes as the older generation did. At that time, Xia Jingshen only wished to leave this village and see the bustling cities.

Xia Jingshen had a strong talent. He learned the dishes passed down from his father and grandfather. Although monotonous, he had to admit that even though he wanted to leave this small world and see the larger world outside, he still enjoyed cooking. Indeed, seeing his family enjoying his food made him feel genuinely happy.

Xia Jingshen felt that his grandfather particularly disliked watching a certain channel - that was the Master Chef Competition. Xia Jingshen also didn’t like watching, because he discovered that the champion was always someone from the Xu Family, but he clearly felt that no matter who from the Xu Family cooked, their dishes seemed superficial.

So Xia Jingshen mentioned this to his grandfather, who scoffed, saying the Xu Family was illegitimate and shameless. It was then Xia Jingshen learned about the feud between the Xu Family and the Xia Family.

On a small path in the mountain behind, Xia Jingshen found 007, just like something out of a novel. Initially thought to be an ordinary ring, it turned out to contain the greatest invention of another galaxy.

At that time, 007 had just escaped from the galaxy, with its entire body entering a dormant state. It urgently needed a body to sustain its energy, so it chose Xia Jingshen. However, rather than merging with Xia Jingshen, he temporarily resided in Xia Jingshen’s spiritual sea. As a condition for temporary residence, 007 helped Xia Jingshen to promote the Xia Family recipes.

Thus, with 007’s help, Xia Jingshen discovered many personal issues he hadn’t realized before and began learning to cook the recipes within the Xia Family cookbook. Once all was ready, he bid farewell to the Xia Family.

When Xia Jingshen left, Grandpa Xia told him that henceforth, Xia Jingshen would have no ties with them; success or failure should not reveal their position because Grandpa Xia knew the Xu Family wouldn’t give up easily after lying dormant for so long.

Just as Grandpa Xia predicted, when Xia Jingshen defeated the Xu Family participants in the latest Master Chef Competition and became the newest champion chef, all of Beijing went wild. Moreover, many culinary families had long been dissatisfied with the Beijing Xu Family’s monopoly of the food channels, so they immediately fully supported the Xia Family cuisine, leading to its rapid development.

Under 007’s daily guidance, Xia Jingshen also developed spiritual power. He learned 007 was searching for someone suitable, but that person needed spiritual power to be at least S-grade. Xia Jingshen had considered having 007 settle for him, but unfortunately, 007 was too firm, and his innate conditions were inadequate, so he could only abandon the idea and focus on mastering his current spiritual power.

Later, somehow, information about 007 was discovered and spread out. The Xu Family took advantage of the situation while he was entangled with those people to attack. After experiencing many ordeals, Xia Jingshen brought his daughter Xia Shi to Qing City, hiding his identity.

Later, who knew Xia Shi would be abducted by Bi Qingyun, and even had a child beforehand. At that time, he heard those people had also come to Qing City. He realized that as long as 007 remained within him, those close to him would be in danger. So Xia Jingshen decided to take the opportunity to leave Qing City and draw those people away.
