Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Even plain water can win the game

The first Qisha Daozi Competition begins now. We welcome two contestants, Yu Xiaomeng and Li Jiaojiao.

Qisha Daozi, seemingly unremarkable, has somehow managed to capture the hearts of two beauties. Let’s interview him.

“Fugui, what are your thoughts on this competition?”

“Hmm?” Qisha Daozi pondered for a moment who Jiang Renhuang was calling, then suddenly realized: “My name is Li Fugui. “

When Qisha Daozi noticed Renhuang’s question, he felt two cold gazes fixed on him, sending a chill down his spine.

“This competition requires us to demonstrate our skill, our style, our results, and our ambition. Let’s not let this damage our relationship.”

Jiang Li, disappointed that he didn’t get the result he wanted, continued his inner thoughts.

Well, it seems the much-anticipated Qisha Daozi has backed down, afraid to speak the truth. Let’s shift our focus to the competition.

Qisha Daozi feels the Renhuang is speaking ill of him, but he has no evidence.

We saw contestant Yu Xiaomeng’s unique technique with the kitchen knife. With one stroke, she severed both the fish and the cutting board. This

was a unique and bold move, worthy of praise.

Yu Xiaomeng placed two fish halves in a pot and simmered them over high heat, causing the scales to float to the surface… Wait, did she not remove the scales?

Qi Sha Daozi panicked, wondering if he was hinting at her interest.

Let’s take a look at contestant Li Jiaojiao’s unique selection of ingredients.

She plucked out the eyeballs of sea fish, octopus, shark, whale, turtle—every kind creature in the sea—and kneaded them into the dough.

She placed the dough into a steamer.

Steamers are a distinct South China Sea tradition. While traditional steamers are powered by spirit stones, those in the South China Sea use fire-breathing fish that breathe fire from small nozzles at the bottom.

Kind-hearted Li Jiaojiao placed a basin of water next to the fire-breathing fish, giving it a drink when it got tired.

The fire-breathing fish dared not neglect its actions, the eyes within the dough staring at it.

Qi Sha Daozi’s hands and feet were icy cold. Could this mean he was also interested in Li Jiaojiao?

Turning our attention to Yu Xiaomeng, it seemed the mermaid leader took this competition very seriously. The kitchen knife and pot she had given Yu Xiaomeng were both spiritual treasures capable of generating intelligence.

Well, we could clearly see the kitchen knife resisting Yu Xiaomeng’s use.

Yu Xiaomeng attempted to chop the crab in half, but the kitchen knife seemed to resist such brutality, leading to a struggle between them. Yu Xiaomeng

, with superior skill, subdued the kitchen knife, and the competition continued. Yu Xiaomeng

seemed to be trying to make crab soup, but judging by the pot’s reaction, it wasn’t going to be very good.

Li Jiaojiao, meticulously crafting her own soup, had also stewed a turtle, adding just the right amount of sugar, salt, soy sauce, aphrodisiac, sesame seeds, and sesame oil…

“Palace Master, Miss Li Jiaojiao seems to have added something that isn’t a seasoning,” Ma Zhuo and his wife whispered in Jiang Li’s ear.

“Give her a warning. If it happens again, she will be disqualified.”

Ma Zhuo and his wife nodded.

Li Jiaojiao didn’t expect that someone would find out after she made it so secretly. She could only regretfully throw it away and make a new soup.

The soup made by contestant Li Jiaojiao this time seemed much more normal. She bled the octopus to kill it, then beat it repeatedly to prevent it from resurrecting. Finally, she tied it up to prevent it from escaping and put it in the pot to stew the soup.

It was an excellent way to cook octopus, which was eye-opening.

The more Jiang Li explained, the more he felt that the outcome of these two people was too close to call, and Qi Sha Daozi’s life or death was uncertain.

Perhaps this was the retribution for Qi Sha Daozi’s hesitation in love. If he had established a relationship with Yu Xiaomeng earlier, this would not have happened.

“Who do you like, Yu Xiaomeng or Li Jiaojiao?”

Qi Sha Daozi said with a sad face. “I originally thought I liked Xiaomeng, but now I think I was too impulsive. After this competition, if you see my master, please tell him that I am unfilial and cannot serve him.”

“What if I don’t consider this competition?”

Qi Sha Daozi said seriously, “Then I will definitely choose Yu Xiaomeng!”

Jiang Li understood and sent a message to Yu Xiaomeng.

“Stop cooking, bring Qi Sha Daozi a bowl of boiled water.”

After an exciting cooking show, Yu Xiaomeng and Li Jiaojiao both finished their dishes.

“Daozi, come and try Jiaojiao’s dish. Is it to your liking?” The once arrogant Li Jiaojiao softened her tone in front of Qi Sha Daozi, which was a bit uncomfortably soft.

When Qi Sha Daozi roughly picked up Li Jiaojiao, she fell in love with him from that moment.

Li Jiaojiao had always been spoiled and had never experienced such treatment before, and she loved it.

“This is my staple dish. I named it ‘The Attention of All.'”

Li Jiaojiao lifted the lid. Dozens of eyes clung to the bread, their resentful gazes fixed on Qi Sha Dao Zi, a gaze that made his hair stand on end.

Qi Sha Dao Zi closed his eyes and cautiously took a bite, not daring to savor the flavor before swallowing it.

“Is it delicious?” Li Jiaojiao looked at Qi Sha Dao Zi expectantly.

Qi Sha Dao Zi forced a smile, not daring to open his mouth.

“You must have choked. Have some soup.” Li Jiaojiao brought the octopus soup. A whole dead octopus floated in the bowl, as if telling of the inhumane torture it had endured before its death.

Qi Sha Dao Zi took a graceful sip.

Li Jiaojiao was pleased with her cooking; she felt that Qi Sha Dao Zi’s attitude was a sign of her cooking’s deliciousness.

Next was Yu Xiao Meng’s turn.

“Why are your hands so cold?” Yu Xiao Meng held Qi Sha Dao Zi’s hand, her brows furrowed slightly, her heart deeply distressed.

Qisha Daozi looked at Yu Xiaomeng with sincere eyes: “Because you are all my calories.”

“So don’t let me eat…”

“So try the soup I made.”

Qi Sha Daozi was heartbroken, feeling his life was numbered.

“Hahaha, Yu Xiaomeng, you’ve finally run out of tricks and actually brought me a bowl of plain water,” Li Jiaojiao gloated.

Qi Sha Daozi’s eyes brightened again, as if he’d been reborn from the underworld to the immortal realm. He picked up the bowl and gulped down the water.

“Is it delicious?”

“It’s delicious, sweet.”

Yu Xiaomeng found it amusing. “How can it be sweet?”

“Because you made it.”

Yu Xiaomeng snuggled into Qi Sha Daozi’s arms, their gaze fixed on each other, their eyes oblivious to anyone else.

“I think I know how to focus my sword heart.”

“How do I focus it?”

“Recognize your true heart, and that’s the sword heart. Xiaomeng, I love you. Xiaomeng, will you be my scabbard?”

“I do.”

Jiang Li suddenly realized that Qi Sha Daozi’s ability to pretend to be a ruthless swordsman was truly a masterful act, suppressing his inner nature.

He shook his head and laughed, no longer paying attention to Qi Sha Daozi. Let the young people handle their own affairs.

Jiang Li found the leader of the mermaid tribe and handed her a can of real dragon blood: “This is your prize.”

“Thank you, Human Emperor.” The mermaid leader carefully took the real dragon blood and observed Jiang Li curiously.

Five hundred years ago, when Jiang Li saved the mermaid tribe, she was not yet born. This was her first time observing Jiang Li up close.

He looked quite ordinary.

“I have a humble request.”

“Human Emperor, please speak.”

“Could you introduce me to the previous leader of the noble clan?”

Jiang Li found the bloodline between Yu Xiaomeng and the mermaid leader very interesting. He had a rough guess, but he still needed to confirm it with Yu Xiaomeng’s grandmother, the previous leader of the mermaid tribe.
