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 .

“Oh, why should I apologize? I thought the Qian Clan was decent at first . Now, it seems like you’re really too inferior to be shown to the public . How about this? Since I’m in a good mood, I’ll forget about the matter if you cripple him now . ” Qing Shui was serious about his proposition .

Qian Duoduo was rendered speechless, staring at Qing Shui in disbelief . He thought he had misheard Qing Shui .

The elderly burst out laughing . “Hahaha, young lad . This is the first time I’ve met a young man with character . How good it is to be young, you can spout anything you want . ”

Qing Shui laughed along . “You know what I hate most? People who flaunt their seniority based on age, especially those without abilities . Do you really think everyone would cower in your presence?”

The elderly was stunned . A murderous glint fleeted across his eyes . “If that’s the case, then I’ll have you experience your own ignorance . ”

The air in the surroundings seemed to have cooled down by many degrees . Gusts of cold wind lifted the elderly like an eagle as he lunged towards Qing Shui .

Qing Shui shook his head slightly .

Without any hesitation, he attacked with Taichi Cloud Hands .

The silhouette of a palm left a trace before landing on the elderly’s cheeks, much to the spectators’ surprise .

Slap!

It was a crisp sound which sent the elderly flying from the impact .

Qing Shui’s Taichi had long been merged with his Berserk Dragon Force, and his Taichi benefited the defender . Besides, Qing Shui knew that his realm was higher . Under such circumstances and with the addition of Taichi, it was normal that the elderly would be thrown aside . This wasn’t his full strength either . He was afraid the elderly’s skull would burst under his full strength .

Silence filled the air, so much so that they would be able to hear the fall of a needle .

“How can this be? That’s Qian Clan’s San Yanwang . How could he be reduced to this state after just one attack?”

A few of the elder’s teeth fell out after Qing Shui’s slap, as blood dripped from both his lips and nose . He looked like he was in a terrible state, but they were merely superficial wounds, nothing serious .

The old man was dazed from the attack as well, only regaining his composure after a moment as though he couldn’t recall the previous moment . He didn’t know how he was slapped by Qing Shui .

“You’re using demonic arts . ” The elderly spouted .

Qing Shui laughed . Demonic arts . If this world had demonic arts, then every attack could be attributed to that . They even had a Demonic King, what were demonic arts compared to that…?

Even the elderly knew that the words he spouted had demerited him, and he didn’t know why he said them either . Once he did, he rushed forward to kill Qing Shui . If he didn’t kill this youngster, both his honor and the Qian Clan’s reputation would be destroyed .

Qing Shui mimicked his moves and another unbelievable scene appeared . The crisp sound of the slap sounded once more, the force greater than the previous . With it, the elderly no longer had any teeth left in his mouth .

“It will happen again and again . If you attack again, you better be prepared for me to kill you . ” Qing Shui said when he noted the elderly’s intention of rushing forward again .

The elderly halted in his steps, realizing that the young man’s abilities far surpassed his own as he broke out in cold sweat .

“I’ve always believed that one has to be responsible for his every action . Being impetuous will have its punishment, otherwise it would have been too easy on you . I’ll wait for three breaths of time . If you can’t satisfy me, then I’ll take action myself . ” Qing Shui spoke softly .

The elderly’s eyes darkened . He held out a blade, severed his own arm and then approached Qian Duoduo .

“Third Uncle, Third Uncle, don’t kill me . . . ” Qian Duoduo’s face paled in fear .

The elderly didn’t kill Qian Duoduo but severed the latter’s arm before looking back to Qing Shui .

Qing Shui sighed and told the people around him, “Let’s leave!”
