AST 2395 – I lost, the Qian Clan overestimates their abilities

The dish made by the woman was excellent even by Qing Shui’s standards. From his point of view, she had lost due to his choice of spices, especially the Green Divine Pepper. When in combination with shredded potato, it was truly divine. In fact, the ingredients’ natural value would complement with many types of food.

The tasting of dishes was even more interesting. The two dishes were served on the table with both contestants sitting across each other. When they started eating, they didn’t stop till the dishes were almost finished. Qing Shui mainly ate the bear paws while the woman focused on the shredded potato.

“I lost!” The woman spoke up honestly.

“You didn’t!” Qing Shui replied after some thoughts.

“I know I did. A loss is a loss. You were able prepare a common dish like shredded potato to this extent, so I willingly admit defeat.” The woman maintained her serious demeanor.

“You lost on spices. If you don’t believe me, you can try cooking with my spices; you’ll be able prepare dishes at the same level.” Qing Shui was honest as well. After all, this was a fact known to all. In his past life, there were secret seasonings. Past a certain level of skills, the only difference was the ingredients used.

“Perhaps. Even so, I’ve lost regardless. It was a pity that I can’t help with the issue you mentioned earlier. Demon Saint Blood is incomparably obnoxious but there’s something you shouldn’t worry about. Her amnesia towards you is only temporary. Everything will be fine once she regains her memory. Demon Saint Blood won’t change her nature, so I don’t think you have to worry too much about it.” The woman reassured.

Her words stunned Qing Shui and a bubble of glee expanded within him. It would be great if the circumstances between him and Tantai Lingyan were only temporary. Once she recovered, everything would be back to normal and she’d revert to the Tantai Lingyan he knew.

“Thank you for today. It’s getting late, I should go.” Qing Shui took a glimpse outside.

“I wanted to ask, would you make a move on the Demon Gate?” The woman questioned.

“During this period, I’ve realized a lot. Your organization and the Demon Gate are innately different. I won’t make a move and will be leaving soon. I’m going to look for my wife.” Qing Shui smiled.

“Then I’ll wish you a smooth journey. Goodbye!” The woman nodded her head with a smile.

Qing Shui mimicked her gesture. “Goodbye. Take this as a gift since you’re someone who is fond of the culinary arts.”

Qing Shui gifted the woman with a bunch of spices.

Qing Shui had an abundance of spices. Like gifting a treasured sword to a hero, these spices were the most suitable gift for her.

The result he achieved during this visit was truly surprising. Perhaps this was the reason why the existence of a Demon Gate here wasn’t matched with a Divine Palace.

Back at the inn, everyone was prepared to leave. However, it was at this moment when they were surrounded. Qing Shui soon realized the reason when he spotted a familiar face among them.

Qian Duoduo!

“Hello, we meet again!” Qing Shui smiled as he greeted Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo seemed to be in a sorry state. He looked as though he couldn’t wait to take a bite off Qing Shui. With a glare, he shouted, “How dare you lay a hand on me. I’ll have you meet a tragic end today!”

“Why must everything end in life or death? How unharmonious. We can talk anything through.” Qing Shui waved his hand, signaling for the others to continue packing.

“We’re done. Are we leaving now?” Shen Huang asked.

“Leave? You wish.”

At Qian Duoduo’s words, he turned towards an elderly person. “Third Uncle, you must help me obtain justice.”

“Young lad, admit your mistake to Duoduo and I’d let you leave. What do you think?” The old man spoke gently.

The elderly looked dignified, paired with a luxurious attire. He had an air of glamour. Even though his tone was mild, it was still enough to make others cower.

“Third Uncle, I want to kill him. Kill him.” Qian Duoduo seemed reluctant.
