I wonder if the world will be able to withstand that time!
Based on Fang Yan's guess, it should be possible; the potential of this world is indeed very high.
For a period of time afterward, Fang Yan seemed to have also entered into the role of a social outcast.
Every day, besides cultivating himself, he teaches others to cultivate. Because of the start of the cultivation journey, even Erina Nakiri has not been to school for a while.
(Another general from the guaranteed pull, sigh, I always lose money when I try to gacha!)
Chapter 436 The Demon Arrives
"Fang Yan, that guy came to see me!" Fang Yan's days continued, and on this day, Erina Nakiri said to Fang Yan with a complicated expression.
"Your father?" Fang Yan was also visibly taken aback. There was nothing he could do; over this period of time, he had almost forgotten about Azami Nakiri.
After all, aside from being Erina Nakiri's father, Azami Nakiri doesn't seem to be anything special. With the resurgence of spiritual energy and the official promotion of various things, the world's landscape has undergone tremendous changes.
Just like Erina Nakiri's uncle, Souei Nakiri and the others have already returned to Sakura Province, making it almost impossible for Azami Nakiri to usurp the throne.
After all, while Azami Nakiri is considered a member of the Nakiri family, she isn't truly a member of the Nakiri clan. Especially after Erina Nakiri and Fang Yan officially got together recently, Erina Nakiri has effectively lost her right to inherit the Nakiri family.
After all, Fang Yan couldn't possibly marry into the Nakiri family, could he?
Fang Yan is one of the top experts in the world. How could he possibly marry into the Nakiri family? Even if Fang Yan didn't have the strength, he still wouldn't have married into the Nakiri family before the spiritual energy revival.
If Erina Nakiri marries Fang Yan, she will change her surname and become a member of Fang Yan's family.
Perhaps to some extent, Azami Nakiri is the one who least wants to see Fang Yan and Erina Nakiri together. It's just a pity that even if Azami Nakiri wants to stop it, there's nothing he can do. Not to mention that Azami Nakiri doesn't have any great way to get close to Erina Nakiri right now, can he even stop Fang Yan and Erina Nakiri from being together?
How can they do that?
"What does he want with you?" Fang Yan didn't have any good feelings towards Azami Nakiri. The only reason he didn't kill Azami Nakiri was because Azami Nakiri was Erina Nakiri's father.
If Fang Yan wanted to, he could kill Azami Nakiri without anyone knowing, and even Erina Nakiri wouldn't know that he did it.
Well, at worst, we can just curse Azami Nakiri.
This was not difficult for Fang Yan.
However, Fang Yan did not want to hurt Nakiri Erina's feelings. Nakiri Erina had very complicated feelings towards Nakiri Azami. She disliked this father and was even very unhappy that he had always wanted to take advantage of her. She also did not want to see her father.
However, it's impossible for Erina Nakiri to actually deal with Azami Nakiri, since Azami Nakiri is still her father after all. At most, she just doesn't want to see Azami Nakiri.
“For something!” Erina Nakiri sighed silently. “He wants to get cultivation methods from me, well, advanced cultivation methods!”
"Hmm?" Fang Yan raised an eyebrow, a playful look on his face. "A leopard can't change its spots!"
It seems that Azami Nakiri doesn't consider Erina Nakiri as his daughter at all.
“He must have partnered with certain organizations and forces. After all, his goal doesn't seem to be overwhelming power; he wants to set the rules for the restaurant industry.” Erina Nakiri took a deep breath and said, “As his daughter, I understand him!”
"Specific rules for the catering industry!" A playful look appeared on Fang Yan's lips.
"The world is changing. For people nowadays, strength is the most important thing. Things like being a chef may become less important!" Erina Nakiri said with a wry smile. "However, I've noticed lately that the spiritual energy in food seems to be increasing, which has led to a better taste for various ingredients than before!"
"Is that so?" Fang Yan nodded. Such a thing would be impossible for an ordinary person, even an exceptionally skilled chef...
Who can blame her? Erina Nakiri is not only a cultivator, but also possesses the God Tongue. She has the most authority to comment on changes in the taste of ingredients.
For them, this is also a good thing, since improved ingredients can lead to more delicious food.
At the same time, humans can also obtain more beneficial energy from food, making spiritual practice more effective.
“Actually, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a chef. After all, not everyone is suited for cultivation!” Fang Yan shook his head slightly and said, “As for your father, according to my estimation, he probably reached a cooperation agreement with some countries and then used cultivation techniques to gain their support, thereby changing the catering industry.”
I must admit, your father does seem to be a very persistent 2.4 person, but unfortunately, in this world, such pursuits seem somewhat problematic, and even his ideas themselves are questionable!
“Yes!! How could food possibly be standardized? The world is wonderful because of the diversity of food!” Erina Nakiri said with a wry smile, “Those ideas are all wrong!”
"Hmm, perhaps!" Fang Yan nodded slightly. The Nakiri family's power was indeed considerable, but it was impossible to do things like in the anime.

Chapter 437 Under Control?
"It's difficult for him to complete his plan. With official assistance, it will be much easier!" After thinking for a moment, Fang Yan continued, "However, this won't have a significant impact on us. Since the spiritual energy revival began, the Far Moon Sect is destined to undergo a transformation, that's beyond doubt. If we can seize the opportunity, then there won't be any major problems."
You can even take this opportunity to reach a higher level, since you also have your own advantages.
However, in my opinion, he might be better off coming to me. With my help, completing his plan shouldn't be too difficult.
Of course, Fang Yan had no intention of helping Erina Nakiri, that devilish father. After all, his relationship with Azami Nakiri was not good, not even since childhood. In fact, Fang Yan even wanted to kill Azami Nakiri!
As Erina Nakiri's father, Azami Nakiri is definitely not qualified. At least Fang Yan doesn't think Azami Nakiri is qualified. To Azami Nakiri, Erina Nakiri is just a tool.
A tool to help him complete his plan; even now, Azami Nakiri seems to still treat Erina Nakiri as a tool.
To be fair, Fang Yan is no longer afraid that Azami Nakiri will continue to bully Erina Nakiri. After all, Erina Nakiri's strength is quite good now, and there aren't many humans who are stronger than her.
After all, Erina Nakiri is now considered a powerful cultivator, though she can't compare to some of those immortal old fogies.
It's not so easy to bully Erina Nakiri.
If Erina Nakiri is really pushed to the limit, Azami Nakiri might really be finished.
"What do you plan to do?" Fang Yan asked Nakiri Erina again. "If needed, I can help you solve this!"
"Do you have any good ideas?" Erina Nakiri looked at Fang Yan with a hint of suspicion. She didn't doubt that Fang Yan had many methods, after all, he already possessed strength comparable to a god, and even so-called gods were no match for him.
Especially during this period, Fang Yan's strength has increased by an unknown amount compared to before. In terms of physical fitness, Fang Yan has definitely cheated, at least she can't stand it.
"Hmm, how about erasing all his memories? Let him forget everything!" Fang Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you want, I can make Nakiri Azami the most perfect father in your heart."
Isn't it just brainwashing? Putting aside Fang Yan's other strengths, Fang Yan's Sharingan alone is enough to control Nakiri Azami, and he can even make Nakiri Azami do whatever he wants.
Fang Yan stated that his Sharingan is indeed very useful. If Fang Yan needed to, he could even control almost all mortals. However, Fang Yan has his own pride, and he would only use his Sharingan to control people when absolutely necessary. Under normal circumstances, Fang Yan would not do so.
However, Fang Yan didn't care much about dealing with Azami Nakiri. After all, Azami Nakiri was a ruthless and insane guy. Even his own daughter was just a tool to Azami Nakiri.
Hmm, this guy seems to have a son, but unfortunately, he didn't raise his son well either.
It seems that Erina Nakiri's half-brother is also extremely talented in cooking, making him a true "cheater".
"Brainwash him?" Erina Nakiri was also taken aback upon hearing this, and her first instinct was to refuse, after all, Azami Nakiri was still her father.
If I were to actually brainwash Azami Nakiri, that would be incredibly "filial"!
You should know that Azami Nakiri is Erina Nakiri's father.
Erasing Azami Nakiri's memories in this way seems feasible, but it would also cause immense harm to Azami.
“That seems like a possibility, but if we do that, Azami Nakiri won’t be the same Azami Nakiri anymore!” Erina Nakiri sighed and said, “Let me have a good talk with her. If she’s really stubborn, then we’ll do it your way.”
To be fair, Erina Nakiri does care a little about Azami Nakiri, after all, he is still her father.
Even though this father is somewhat inadequate, and in many ways seems to have significant problems.
They still want to take advantage of me now.
But he is still her biological father, and if Azami Nakiri is willing to change, Erina Nakiri will not refuse him, after all, he is her own father.
"Hmm!" Fang Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Let me know if you need anything, but I reckon Nakiri Azami won't agree. That guy probably doesn't have good intentions; he might even be cooperating with someone else."
If my guess is correct, it seems entirely possible that he might be under control!
"Controlled?" Erina Nakiri was also shocked to hear this. After all, Azami Nakiri was still her father. If Azami Nakiri was being controlled, Erina Nakiri would not accept it.
(I spent almost 6000 gold to get my wife two lives and her exclusive weapon. I'm broke now, looks like I need to focus on writing more. So sad.)
Chapter 438 Good Progress
"Well, after all, your relationship with him shouldn't be a secret to some people. To say you were controlled is more accurate than saying you were being used!" Fang Yan explained after thinking for a moment.
After all, Azami Nakiri doesn't have much value to be exploited by those people.
There's nothing that can be done about it; Azami Nakiri is just a cook, and in this world, he does have titles like "God of Cookery." In some specialized industries, the title of "God of Cookery" carries a certain status, but globally, the title of "God of Cookery" doesn't really have any prestige.
Of course, if the state apparatus wants to carry out Azami Nakiri's plan, it is not a difficult task. In fact, when spiritual energy is reviving in this world, humans should indeed cultivate properly. As for cooking, if there are standardized settings, it seems to be a good thing in a certain sense.
However, in the long run, this is not good either. If even food is standardized, it may facilitate the standardization, chain operation, and even commercialization of cooking, but it will also stifle creativity.
"Is that so?" Erina Nakiri sighed silently. As expected, her father was still unreliable.
We shouldn't have had too high expectations for Azami Nakiri at all.
“His ideas are wrong, at least I think they are wrong. I will not approve of his ideals. If he is really stubborn, then make him change his ideals!” Erina Nakiri thought for a moment and continued, “Cooking is not just about standardization, nor is it that the better the cooking technique, the more delicious the dish will be. Similarly, it also depends on the chef’s heart.”
Fang Yan glanced at Erina Nakiri speechlessly. Σ(っД;)っ, should Erina Nakiri really be saying such things?
It's important to know that in the early days of Food Wars!, Erina Nakiri didn't have this kind of awareness.
"Hmm, I don't really understand these things!" Fang Yan said somewhat helplessly, "But has your mother's problem with the God Tongue been resolved?"
Erina Nakiri's mother, Managi Nakiri, suffered severe aftereffects; she even refused to eat because she couldn't satisfy God Tongue.
For Nakiri Managi, the God Tongue is more of a curse. It brought her success and it also brought her downfall. Now, there is no food in the world that can satisfy Nakiri Managi's needs, which is a tragedy.
At least in Fang Yan's view, it was a tragedy. Nakiri Managi was a chef and a person who loved food, but because of the God Tongue, she could no longer enjoy food. It was truly tragic.
"It's temporarily under control!" Erina Nakiri smiled slightly when Nakiri Managi was mentioned.
To be fair, Erina Nakiri's childhood was quite unfortunate. Her father treated her like a tool, and was at least very unfriendly to her. Her mother, Managi Nakiri, was also not by her side from a young age. It can be said that Erina Nakiri did not receive much maternal love growing up.
However, compared to her demonic father, Erina Nakiri is clearly closer to her mother.
Moreover, she knew that her mother had her reasons. Erina Nakiri was aware of the flaws of the God Tongue, and her mother had warned her not to overdevelop it. Managi Nakiri did not want to see Erina Nakiri follow the same path.
However, during Erina Nakiri's childhood, Azami Nakiri disregarded everything and wanted to help her develop the God Tongue. He didn't care what Erina Nakiri would become in the future, nor did he care whether she would follow in Managi Nakiri's footsteps. It can be said that as a father, Azami Nakiri was really unqualified.
Of course, Erina Nakiri's childhood was not bad either. At least after Azami Nakiri left, her childhood was quite good. Her grandfather, Senzaemon Nakiri, gave her almost all the love she needed.
Shortly after the spiritual energy revival, Nakiri Managi returned to Sakura Prefecture and underwent a certain amount of training.
As a cultivator, once you reach a certain level, you can still control your level of nerve sensitivity.
Just like Erina Nakiri now, she can actually control her God Tongue freely.
After all, she had spent a lot of time studying her God Tongue after she started cultivating, and for her, the side effects of the God Tongue were almost gone.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Erina Nakiri did not fully develop the God Tongue (Li Qian Zhao).
However, Nakiri Managi's situation is different. She developed the God Tongue to a certain level, and the aftereffects of the God Tongue are quite severe. Under such circumstances, it can be considered good progress if the God Tongue is even slightly under control.
"...Not bad!" Erina Nakiri smiled slightly when she mentioned Managi Nakiri: "My mother can now eat some food, unlike before when she felt disgusted at the sight of food!"
Fang Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this; it was indeed a good development.
