Chapter 387: Dark Cuisine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the following period of time, Killing Dao was indeed in no hurry to leave. She stayed in the courtyard and did nothing. She drank, ate, and slept with Qin Jue, just like an ordinary person.

Of course, the two of them slept in different rooms.

To be honest, Killing Dao had never experienced such a life before. From the moment she developed spirit sense, she was already a divine artifact, high and mighty, looking down on all living beings.

After that, she was subdued by Yin Tianchou and fought everywhere, so she didn’t have the time to think about anything else.

Now that she suddenly lived like an ordinary person, Killing Dao immediately had an indescribable feeling. Although there were no passionate battles and everything was very ordinary, Killing Dao quite liked it.

The only thing that displeased Killing Dao was that Su Yan came every day and would chat and laugh with her master every time. They were incomparably intimate.

The main point was that the owner also liked the food Su Yan made!

As her master’s weapon, how could Killing Dao lose to that vixen!

Killing Dao suddenly decided to cook for her master too.

After making up her mind, Killing Dao got up early. At dawn, before Qin Jue woke up, she went to the Central Continent to capture a Saint Stage fiend beast.

“This thing should taste good, right?”

Because Killing Dao had never eaten anything else besides top-notch heavenly treasures like divine fruits, her knowledge was extremely lacking in this aspect.

Who would have thought that a dignified divine artifact would one day worry about cooking?

“Forget it, I’ll try it first.”

After making up her mind, Killing Dao cut the fiend beast open and cleaned it. Then, she casually refined a few kitchen utensils and poured the beast meat into the pot according to the method she learned from observing Su Yan yesterday. She added a few spirit herbs and divine fruits and began to roast them with flames.

A moment later, an indescribable strange smell came from the pot and dissipated with the wind.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”

Suddenly, a small bird flew past. When it smelled this strange smell, its entire body twitched and it fell from the sky.

“Wu…”

The husky, who was cultivating, smelled this strange smell and suddenly widened its eyes. Even with its Heaven Stage cultivation, it could not withstand it and fell heavily, foaming at the mouth.

Not only that, but the surrounding flowers and trees withered one after another. Even the spirit fruits Qin Jue had planted before retracted their leaves and entered a “defensive” state.

If it weren’t for the fact that Long Zhui was used to setting up barriers outside his body when he was cultivating, he would probably have also been unable to escape from this smell.

Soon, this strange smell enveloped the entire Xuanyi Mountain Sect.

“What’s that? It smells so bad.”

“Damn, could it be that the sect master is refining pills again?” Someone exclaimed.

“I don’t think so. I didn’t hear anything just now.” Another person retorted.

One had to know that the last time Bai Ye “refined pills”, it could be said to be world-shaking. It was impossible for it to be so silent.

“Wu… Even if the sect master is refining pills, it won’t smell that bad.”

The higher-ups of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had painful expressions as they discussed animatedly.

Fortunately, they were relatively far away and could barely use their spirit energy to resist. Otherwise, they would definitely have fainted like the husky.

If even the elders were like this, then there was even less of a need to talk about the others. Immediately, more than half of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect disciples could not withstand the influence of this strange smell. They foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

“Ahhh, who, who is it?!”

Bai Ye cursed as he ran out of the main hall. Behind him, Mu Ziqi frowned slightly and covered her nose. She had no choice but to raise her spirit energy barrier in an attempt to isolate that strange smell.

Even so, she could still faintly smell the disgusting smell.

At the same time, Luo Xun also rose from the courtyard in an attempt to find the source of the strange smell.

Clearly, even someone as strong as Luo Xun could not stand it.

Not long after, everyone simultaneously arrived outside the cliff and fell silent as they looked at the skull-shaped gas that was circling above.

“What’s going on? Is Uncle-Master refining poison?”

Zhang Jichen could not help but break the silence first.

“Why don’t we go take a look?” Wu Ying suggested.

“Sure, go ahead.”

Bai Ye nodded without hesitation.

Wu Ying: “???”

Standing here was already very strenuous for him. If he went over, he would probably immediately faint from the stench.

“I think I should go.” Luo Xun said after hesitating for a few breaths.

His cultivation was the strongest here, and he had the highest chance of staying conscious after approaching the cliff. If it were anyone else, they might have fallen unconscious before they even got there.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xun set up a barrier and walked step by step towards the edge of the cliff, as if he was facing death with equanimity.

As Luo Xun approached the cliff, the strange smell became richer and richer, like a ferocious beast that wanted to swallow him!

…

Qin Jue had never thought that he would one day be awakened by a “stench”.

Yes, even in his sleep, Qin Jue still couldn’t tolerate that strange smell and was forced to wake up.

“What the hell?”

Opening his eyes, Qin Jue subconsciously held his breath. If it weren’t for the fact that he was still lying on the bed, Qin Jue would have thought that he was sleeping in a manure pit.

Without any time to think, Qin Jue instantly rushed out of the room. He wanted to see who was behind this!

“Ah, Master, you’re awake.”

Seeing Qin Jue, Killing Dao smiled. “Master, look, I’ve prepared food for you.”

As he spoke, Killing Dao pointed at the thing in front of her.

Hearing this, Qin Jue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a pot of beast meat mixed with spirit herbs being boiled. The strange smell came from the pot.

Qin Jue :”…”

“Are you sure this is prepared for me?”

“Yeah, why?”

Killing Dao said shyly, “This is the first time I’ve tried cooking. I hope Master likes it.”

“…”

How is this food? This is clearly poison!

“Could it be that… you don’t realize that something was wrong?”

The corner of Qin Jue’s eyes twitched slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

“No, what’s wrong?”

Killing Dao was curious.

“…”

“Wait!”

Finally, Killing Dao realized something.

Because of her high cultivation and her focus on figuring out how to cook just now, Killing Dao wasn’t affected by the strange smell. At this moment, after Qin Jue’s reminder, she finally revealed a surprised expression.

“What an awful smell. Where is it coming from?”

Qin Jue :”…”

“Eh, it seems to be…”

Killing Dao’s gaze moved and was instantly stunned.

“How could this be…”

After a while, Killing Dao frowned and said, “What kind of beast meat is this? Why does it smell so bad?”

Qin Jue :”…”

Qin Jue wanted to tell her that the fiend beast meat was not the problem.

Thump!

With a light sound, Luo Xun, who had just arrived at the edge of the cliff, fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

“…”

…

Ten minutes later, the strange smell dissipated. Seeing this, Bai Ye and the others all ran to the cliff to see what was going on.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect it to have such a huge impact.”

Killing Dao’s face flushed red. For the first time, she was ashamed.

“Is this the source of the strange smell?”

Looking at the iron pot sealed by golden light not far away, Bai Ye sighed. “Too powerful. Such a small thing actually has such power. Looks like I still have much to learn!”

Everyone :”…”

In fact, under normal circumstances, no matter how bad Killing Dao was at cooking, it should have been impossible for her to cause such a huge commotion. After all, even if a Saint Stage fiend beast’s meat was poisonous, it would at most affect the consumer’s mind.

However, Killing Dao had tried to be creative and added a few divine fruits. These divine fruits just happened to be incompatible, so a terrifying pot of dark cuisine was born!
