REINCARNATION: TRAPPED IN THE WRONG BODY
CHAPTERS 16. A good chef
***xhong Li's bedroom***
Hercules had already finished tidying up Zhong Li's hair aka King who was falling apart quickly.
"Young master Zhong Li. It's dinner soon. Hercules is going to cook in the kitchen right now" Hercules said.
"Go!" answer King.
"Young master Zhong Li wants to eat what?" ask Hercules.
"One kind of soup, one meat, and one vegetable" King replied.
"Hercules will cook it quickly," Hercules replied and dashed out of Zhong Li's bedroom.
"Although fat, the running is fast as well" King's heart said.
While Xena remained inside Zhong Li's bedroom and stood quietly.
The distinctive scent of Hercules and Xena, Zhong Li's two new servants were already memorized by Zhong Li's keen sense of smell now.
"I'll practice again tonight" King said.
King decided to practice after dinner and drove his two new servants from inside Zhong Li's bedroom.
Although there was already Xena who could protect Zhong Li if there was any danger threatening, but King did not want to just stand still and lay down his life in the protection of others.
King who is macho and strong during his life, wants to be in this new world terap strong and can protect themselves.
King does not like the feeling of being weak or victimized so his hard training should continue later tonight.

"Xena! Take me for a walk to the park!" king's Order.
During this week the King confined himself in the room and trained diligently and did not dare to come out of the room for fear that Zhong Li would experience danger again outside the room. However, now King has Xena, who claims to be good at fighting and using a sword so King wants to try to get out of the bedroom by bringing Xena as his bodyguard.
King wanted to find out the extent of the martial arts that Xena had mastered.
"Well young master Zhong Li," Xena replied.
Xena placed King's left hand over his right arm while walking.
King could feel Xena's arms were very strong and could support Zhong Li's weight as well as walk leisurely.
"This is a servant or a female soldier? His strength is strong" said King.
Along the way to the park, King uses his empty eyes and keen sense of smell to smell the fresh flowers.
"Everything is a new flower" King said.
True King guess, because it looks like some servants lift beautiful and fragrant flower pots to the garden.
"I'm tired" said King.
"Xena will take young master Zhong Li to the park chair" Xena said.
"All right" replied King.
Within seconds, King was already sitting comfortably on a garden chair.
"That's fine" said King.
King closed his eyes tightly while pretending to inhale the fragrant fragrance of the flowers.
Though King's main goal was to use his keen sense of hearing to eavesdrop on the talk of some male servants who were arranging the location of a flower pot nearby.
The King was interested to find out their conversation after listening to Emperor Wang's word.
King knew for sure both in his world and in this strange world, everyone liked to gossip.
The difference is in the world of women who like to gossip, while in this strange world the men who like to gossip.
"Great huh young master Zhong Min managed to snatch Princess Xing from young master Zhong Li," said the 1st servant.
"Young master Zhong Li is blind. Where would Princess Xing Xing be with her," said the 2nd maid in a small voice as she glanced at Zhong Li aka King who was sitting quietly while closing tightly his two eyes.
"Young master Zhong Li is very lucky to be betrothed to Princess Jing Mi. I prefer Princess Jing Mi over Princess Xing Xing," said the 3rd maid.
"Princess Jing Mi held many troops in her hands. Princess Jing Mi is stronger than Princess Xing Xing. It could have been Princess Jing Mi who replaced Emperor Wang later," said the 4th servant.
"Then young master Zhong Li is the luckiest," said the 5th servant.
King heard all the rumors the servants were talking about.
"Ouch! Woe to twelve. It turned out that Princess Jing Mi was a rival to Princess Xing Xing. Zhong Li could be harmed again by them. It is only fitting that Princess Jing Mi sends two new servants to Zhong Li," King's heart said.
King was thrilled when he found out his match with Princess Xing Xing was canceled and replaced by Zhong Min.
That meant for a while Zhong Li would be safe and not be targeted by Ming Lan as well as Zhong Min so that the King had more time to strengthen Zhong Li's body.
While outside, King can use his powers to help the weak so that he can live a life similar to his original world. However, now all of King's hopes and desires are lost instantly.
King was confident that Zhong Li would be an easy target for Ming Lan, Zhong Min, and also Princess Xing Xing.
"I had to buy a small knife to practice my flying knife science. At least I can protect myself without needing to rely on others" King's heart determined.
"Xena. I'm already hungry. I want to go back to the bedroom, " said King.
"Well young master Zhong Li," Xena replied obediently and led King back to Zhong Li's bedroom.
***xhong Li's bedroom***
As he walked into his bedroom, King's keen sense of smell smelled a variety of scented dishes on the dining table.
"Young master Zhong Li. Hercules has prepared ten kinds of dishes for dinner" said Hercules cheerfully.
"Ten kinds? I asked for three of a kind" said King.
"Say A Tu, young master Zhong Li could spend ten boiled eggs and half a boiled chicken every day" Hercules said.
"Oh yes! I almost forgot he was so pampered. It must have been long to A Tu earlier," King's heart said.
"Yes! You and Xena are eating. I can't afford ten kinds of cooking" King said.
"Both young master Zhong Li," Hercules and Xena replied simultaneously.
Hercules placed a pair of chopsticks in King's right hand.
"I don't want to wear chopsticks" King said.
In an instant the chopsticks in King's hand turned into spoons.
The adept fat Hercules had already exchanged his chopsticks with a spoon.
"Young master Zhong Li wants to eat what?" ask Hercules.
"What's up?" ask King.
*Ada Fu Yung Hai, Cap Chai, Koloke, Taosi fish team, Ayam Hainan, Chicken Kung Pao, Cah Kailan, I Fu Mie, Sapo Tofu, and Mapo Tofu," replied Hercules.
"Crazy! On average, I don't know all the dishes at all" said King's heart.
"What is Fu Yung Hai?" ask King.
"Eggs on omelette with a mixture of vegetables and meat. There's a sweet, sour sauce" replied Hercules.
"Oh it turns out to be an omelet" King's heart said.
"Nasi hainam, fu yung hai, and the taosi fish team" King said.
Although King did not know what taosi was, King wanted to give it a try.
"Both young master Zhong Li," Hercules replied.
King's sharp hearing heard the sound of food being picked up from a table and put in a bowl.
"This is young master Zhong Li," said Hercules as he led King's left hand to hold the rice bowl.
King ate slowly using a spoon.
"What a son," praised King.
"Thank you for the praise of young yuan Zhong Li" Hercules said.
King admired in his heart, Princess Jing Mi sent an excellent servant to serve Zhong Li.
At first the King thought it would be difficult for him as Zhong Li to eat fish meat due to the sheer number of fish spines that Zhong Li could not see.
During his life Zhong Li had never tasted fish dishes after his eyes were blind.
Now the painstaking Hercules had removed all the fish spines so King could taste the delicious fish fillet.
Hercules is a very reliable chef in this strange world. Even King would bet if Hercules lived in his world, Hercules could definitely become a Michelin Star chef.
