Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 216 Poison Chicken Soup

Sishen base.

In the back kitchen, Suzaku was holding a mysterious and luxurious menu that was almost torn to pieces in one hand, and stirring the sticky chicken soup with the other hand.

As Zhuque said before, she is a professional when it comes to being a prostitute.

Although Suzaku's sense of taste is not very good, she believes that she can still make the best mysterious dishes by adding a lot of ingredients.

After all, cooking skill doesn't depend on the individual, but on the ingredients. Even plain instant noodles taste delicious when paired with delicacies like rainbow grass.

Suzaku was a stubborn person, hot-tempered and unwilling to beat around the bush. She believed it was better to be direct and straightforward than to engage in intrigue.

Like is like, dislike is dislike. Suzaku does not hide her emotions too much, even her monster, Quail Fire, has the same personality as her master.

With hearts as fiery as fire, Suzaku and Shisanji were both, to some degree, passionate individuals. Their differing backgrounds alone led to their differing expressions of this passion. Just as no two snowflakes are exactly alike, every soul is unique, possessing its own virtues and flaws.

Suzaku didn't want to go to the Cross Base for the time being. During the Lantern Festival, that brat Albersi kept mocking her cooking skills. This made her, as a sister, very embarrassed. She swore that once she cooked her perfect dish, she would give Albersi a good kick with the tip of her shoe!

Zhuque thought angrily as his hands moved faster and faster. Soon the chicken soup was ready. Zhuque poured the soup into the pot with great familiarity, the whole process being done in one go without any delay.

But the question arises again. The chicken soup was made, but where are the people who drank it back then?

Zhuque thought of her good sisters first, and then felt a sense of inexplicable loss.

Qinglong, needless to say, possessed unfathomable power, a terrifying presence. After resolving the "Aeselribe" incident, her monster chameleon rose from C-rank to A-rank. She was now undoubtedly the pinnacle of the Four Gods Base's power, her status within the Four Gods Base comparable to Diana's at Wilshire Base.

As for White Tiger, this naturally beautiful creature, something started to feel off after integrating his yin and yang. The King of Beasts' terrifying life-giving power had been completely transformed by White Tiger into a nurse, and a powerful nurse at that. Well, who gave White Tiger the ability? He'd just pound his chest with fists if he displeased anyone, undeniably unconvinced. Besides, he still had a long way to go in his development, and the King of Beasts was a well-deserved and promising future.

Then, it's Xuanwu's turn.

To be honest, Suzaku was a little afraid of Xuanwu. Even though the four goddesses knew each other well, Suzaku's fear still couldn't be completely dispelled.

Although Azure Dragon and White Tiger were powerful, Suzaku could at least understand their thoughts. But Black Tortoise... she couldn't see through it at all.

After returning from Shadow King Village, Xuanwu's dragon horse was upgraded again, from C-level to B-level. Her whole temperament also became much stronger, which was the temperament that a strong person could not help but radiate from the inside out.

But after just a few days of peace, Xuanwu could no longer sit still.

It seemed that after Suzaku, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger had left Shadow King Village, something significant had occurred there. However, Xuanwu remained utterly secretive about the incident. Only White Tiger had managed to decipher the few words Xuanwu had been muttering through lip reading.

"Time"... "Delete"... "Reverse"... "Future"... "Torch..."

Zhuque knew that through Longma's special skill of "Hetu Luoshu", she could always predict the future, which was nothing surprising.

Xuanwu was probably investigating on her own at this moment. She had a lot of magic at her disposal, and with Longma protecting her, there shouldn't be any problems...right?

Suzaku shook her head. The more she thought about it, the more bizarre it became. Shouldn't she be thinking about who should taste this incredibly fresh chicken soup first?

——The answer comes without hesitation, Yiyin.

Speaking of which, thanks to Yiyin, he was able to be reborn in Alderaan. If he could do it again, perhaps his Quail Fire could level up again? Of course, Suzaku could only imagine this scenario in his mind. The opportunity to level up monsters is rare, and many trainees even manage to only level up their monsters to D level throughout their entire lives. Now that his monster has reached C level, he should be content.

Even if we put himself aside, Yiyin is one of the few people who can eat all of his food without changing his expression every time - just based on this point, Zhuque has a certain good impression of Yiyin.

Not to mention her own hairpin... Honestly, Suzaku didn't really like it; it looked too old-fashioned. But who could say it was a rare piece of jewelry from Audran? Besides, her two buns had been replaced with a single strand of red hair. If some wealthy boss bought her hairpin for a high price one day, wouldn't she be considered rich?

Well, I've strayed off topic again. Since no one was tasting it, Suzaku simply took it himself.

The first person a doctor cuts is always himself, and Suzaku knows this all too well. Even though he might not be able to taste anything, he couldn't let the food go to waste, could he?

Just as Zhuque brought the chicken soup to his mouth and was about to drink it all, a strange arc of light suddenly appeared in the kitchen.

.

Yiyin felt very depressed.

He never thought that there would be such a big deviation just because he hadn't used the flash technique for a few days.

The Flash Technique is more like teleportation than a flash, but the coordinates of the teleportation need to be determined by Yi Yin in his mind.

Obviously, he calculated the coordinates wrong this time.

So, he appeared in the kitchen of the Four Gods Base in such a dignified manner.

When Yiyin first saw Suzaku, she was only as tall as his chest, and now she is still a head shorter than him.

This is really a case of speaking of the devil. Zhuque thought happily, it seems that no matter what, his first taster will always be Yiyin!

Zhuque was about to invite Yiyin to eat chicken, but she happened to see Yiyin's drooping arms out of the corner of her eye.

"Ah! Yiyin, what happened to your arm?"

Zhuque showed a distressed expression, "How about I ask Baihu to come and take a look at you?"

"No, no, no, Suzaku-senpai, please don't cause trouble for Baihu-senpai."

Yi Yin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had experienced Bai Hu's "treatment" methods more than once. If there were any other way, Yi Yin would never want to endure the excruciating pain.

"What I want to ask is, is Senior Xuanwu here? I have something urgent to ask her."

"Tsk. You want to find Xuanwu right away." Zhuque muttered sourly, a little dissatisfied. "Want to know where Xuanwu is? Sure, drink this chicken soup first."

As he spoke, Suzaku pushed the chicken soup in front of Iin with great anticipation.

"..."

The fear of being dominated by Suzaku's cooking skills in the past once again flooded Yiyin's heart. He knew that rotten oranges were rotten oranges. If Suzaku's cooking skills wanted to improve, there were only two words to describe it: dreaming.

Yiyin originally wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but when she saw Zhuque's pitiful little eyes and the irrepressible expectation, Yiyin finally couldn't bear it and felt pity.

"Alright! I'm going! I'm not the one who killed people, and my head has a hole as big as a bowl. Twenty years later, I'm a hero again! Brothers, let's do it!"

While Yiyin was saying some "passionate" words, he brought the chicken soup to his mouth as if hypnotizing himself, and then drank it all in one gulp.

……

"how?"

Zhuque looked at Yiyin with full expectation. At this moment, Yiyin put down the pot in his hand and felt speechless.

Objectively speaking, apart from the fact that the taste is a little salty - of course, this may also be due to Iin's strong taste - the rest of the color, aroma and taste are quite satisfactory.

If it were someone else, Yiyin might just give them a mediocre six points, but if it was Suzaku... it's no exaggeration to say that her progress was too fast, and Yiyin wanted to give her full marks.

“Very fresh...very delicious.”

After a moment's silence, Yiyin finally decided to tell the truth as a recognition of Suzaku's efforts over the past period of time.
