658 Actually, Its Not Just It Could Be Eaten... (1/2)
In this dark cuisine competition, the Food Immortal had eaten rotten insects, chewed rotten meat pies, and drank stone porridge… Wang Lu had mobilized the power of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals to collect exotic cuisines from various corners of Nine Regions. The Food Immortal had basically seen them all and experienced them.
This experience was unprecedented in the thousands of years of experience. Sometimes, after tasting the dark cuisine, the Food Immortal would think that if he were to find a successor in the future, he had to tell his successor about this experience, educating his successor to not be picky about food. At that time, he could say...
”In the dark cuisine match in the Grand Competition in the past, the food that I tried was much more varied than what you guys eat now. At that time, I and the host even talked cheerfully and wittily!”
Just thinking about it made him excited and passionate.
However, this pride disappeared the moment he tasted the delicacy from Aya's hometown.
”Is this still a fucking human food?”
The Food Immortal stood up angrily and wished he could drop the food on the ground on the spot—if not for the fear of the chef who cooked the dish was standing in front of him and who obviously had stronger fighting power than him.
He had explored the world of food for thousands of years, and this was the first time he ate the ”food” that was so exciting!
When she heard the protest from the Food Immortal, Aya lightly asked, ”Do you have any complaints about my dish?”
”This is no longer a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but… are you fucking a chef or a poisoner? This kind of sword-intent-filled thing is already qualified to be considered as a bomb, how dare you put it on the table?”
Aya was silent for a moment and then said, ”I don't know what you're talking about.”
”Don't play dumb!” The Food Immortal angrily slapped the table, and then reached out and directly dug out a piece from the fish-headed cake, and then infiltrated it with his immortal spirit qi...
The next moment, there was a muffled sound.
Between the two fingers of the Food Immortal, a small explosion broke out. The fish-headed cake exploded into millions of pieces of powders. Each of them was as dazzling as the stars in the night sky... Most of them were gathered by the Food Immortal using his immortal spirit qi. A few landed on the table, and with popping sounds, countless holes actually appeared on that thick round table!
”See that! Whose food would be so lethal!”
Aya tilted her head with some confusion. ”That bowl of high-concentration sour soup not long ago could turn hundreds of people into pus, and its lethality was not low.”
”... That's the problem with the ingredients themselves, but the sword intent in your dish is deliberately infused! Moreover, the high-concentration sour soup could be dissolved with cultivation base, but your sword intent almost blew up my head! My tongue was almost cut off by you!”
Aya nodded. ”Yeah, but that's the culinary tradition of my hometown, don't you like it?”
”Whose hometown has such a tradition! Eating a meal is like fighting a war! What kind of mentality did you have when you cooked the dish!”
Aya went on to say, ”Taking mission as a fight is what us, knight do. As for when I cook, I usually remember the situation in the battlefield when I went out on a campaign. Only by letting the soldiers not forget to fight while they eat could they keep alert and maintain the battle-ready state.”
The Food Immortal was startled. Such a shameless lie seemed to have no flaws; what was going on here?
Of course, he didn't know that Aya was telling the truth. When she was still in Brettonia, when she went on numerous campaigns, she did indeed personally cook meals for her beloved generals and soldiers to boost their morale. Later on, she was betrayed and her country fell apart. It could be said that it was from that moment the foreshadows were laid.
Wang Lu faintly said, ”In short, Senior Food Immortal, please do not waste time, don't let such a rare food turn cold.”
”... Fine, you're indeed ruthless! See how I eat it!”
The Food Immortal hardened his heart, filled his mouth with immortal spirit qi, directly grabbed the plate, and then chewed and swallowed the Look Up at the Starry Sky. It was just that, every chew would be accompanied with thousands of times of sword qi explosion, and in each swallow, the Food Immortal would feel as if countless sharp swords rub against his throat, which was extremely painful.
After he finished that dish, the Food Immortal immediately took a cup of tea from his mustard seed bag, which he had kept for a long time and could also nourish the body of an Earth Immortal. Half a cup of tea later, however, he saw the edge of the cup was already stained with blood, which came from his lips… This Look Up at the Starry Sky actually hurt him.
After the tea soaked his throat and repaired all the tiny wounds, the Food Immortal sighed and thought that he had not eaten such a hard dish for more than ten thousand years...
”Okay, next!”
A moment later, Aya came over with another plate of fish head cake.
When the Food Immortal saw the dozen or so dried fish, he felt cold and immediately got up and protested, ”Wait a minute, why is it still this dish? Didn't you say that the dish would not be repeated?”
Aya coldly said, ”Why? Are you not good at math that you can't even count?”
