Chapter 130: The Pervasive Red Glint of Thunder Tiger Blood Soup
"Okay!"
Chu Chen nodded, tossed the Red Flash Eagle to Chu Xin, and then with a chubby wave of his hand, Sword Energy sliced the Red Flash Thunder Tiger that Chu Xin had thrown into several pieces, landing neatly on the grill.
Sizzle!
Even though it was already dead and had been flayed, the Red Flash Thunder Tiger was still surrounded by red lightning. Upon contact with the grill, the lightning spread instantly.
If it had been an ordinary grill, it would have been reduced to ashes by the red lightning, but Chu Chen's grill was a Top Grade Holy Artifact, impervious to the extent of red lightning left by the Thunder Tiger.
By this time, Long Shaoyu had ignited the flames under the grill, and having cultivated both Fire Element and Sword, his flames were of a high grade.
While grilling, Chu Chen set up a large pot on the stove, added Water of Purification to boil it, and then poured the chunks of Thunder Tiger Blood Soup that Chu Xin had prepared into the pot. Continue reading stories on empire
The Thunder Tiger Blood too contained red lightning, spreading throughout the pot, appearing quite eerie.
Chu Chen's bright round eyes sparkled. He had never tried this method of cooking soup before, and he anticipated a unique flavor.
After thinking for a while, he also added some Stone Milk to the pot.
After boiling for a while, he started adding special ingredients and covered the pot with a lid.
This lid was no ordinary lid; it allowed the aroma to escape while locking all the energy contained in the food inside the pot, making the dish even more delicious.
Soon, the fragrance of the grilled meat and the Thunder Tiger Blood Soup mingled together, drifting in every direction.
"It smells so good."
The Heavenly Pride, sitting cross-legged in the void to conserve energy, couldn't help but sniff the air, suddenly opening their eyes wide with shock on their faces.
As Jiuzhou Heavenly Pride, they mostly came from extraordinary backgrounds and had tasted many delicious dishes, but they had never smelled such a unique aroma before.
Following the direction of the scent, they turned their heads, dumbfounded.
"Those two brats actually ran here to grill meat and stew soup?"
The Heavenly Pride were astonished; everyone had come here to vie for the Thunder Fruit, all conserving energy in a race against time for the upcoming battle.
These two rascals, however, had run here to cook; they seemed not to be here to compete for the Thunder Fruit, but rather to enjoy a leisurely outing.
"Red lightning, is that a Red Flash Thunder Tiger?"
"And the Red Flash Eagle."
Upon seeing the red lightning wafting from the grill and the pot, and Chu Xin handling the Red Flash Eagle, the Heavenly Pride again looked surprised.
Although both the Red Flash Thunder Tiger and the Red Flash Eagle were only Fourth Rank Demon Beasts, they could unleash strength comparable to a Fifth Rank Demon Beast in the red lightning area.
Most importantly, the red lightning could attack the soul, and even a Peak Martial Venerate would be reluctant to enter the area to hunt the Red Flash Thunder Tiger and the Red Flash Eagle.
Even if they were ultimately slain, the cost to one's self would be significant, proving very disadvantageous in the upcoming battle for the Thunder Fruit.
Did these two rascals not worry at all that wasting True Qi and energy could lead to defeat in the Thunder Fruit competition?
Or did they realize they were outmatched and had no chance at competing for the Thunder Fruit, so they had given up?
"Can you even eat this stuff?"
After their surprise, the Heavenly Pride couldn't help but frown.
Whether it was the grilled meat or the soup in the large pot, both were permeated with red lightning. How could anyone eat that?
Wouldn't they get struck dumb by the red lightning if they took a bite?
But it smelled too good.
All the Heavenly Pride couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Even Lei Wanjun, the young Martial Sage sitting atop Five Thunder Mountain, opened his eyes wide with a hint of astonishment.
Chu Chen paid no heed to the unusual gazes of the Heavenly Pride and continued focusing on grilling and stewing.
After flipping the meat a couple of times, Chu Chen looked at the large pot, listened to the sounds coming from it, and cried out in a milky voice, "Sister, the Thunder Tiger Blood Soup is ready, come and taste it."
"I'll be right there."
Chu Xin responded loudly, her movements speeding up even more.
Chu Chen lifted the lid off the pot, and instantly, an even richer aroma filled the air, mixed with the energy from the Thunder Tiger Blood Soup.
The Heavenly Pride sniffed, and the slight energy that dispersed into them revitalized their spirits, even quickening the True Qi circulating within their bodies.
"Hiss! Does this soup actually contain such energy?"
"Dug a mole! This isn't just making soup; it's clearly crafting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
The Heavenly Pride's faces were full of shock, their eyes filled with desire and greed.
If they could drink this soup, they wouldn't just advance in cultivation, at the very least, they could face the competition for the Five Thunder Fruit in their peak condition.
However, looking at the red lightning swirling in the pot, they were again conflicted.
That was the soul-attacking Red Flash; it was a bit difficult to swallow.
"Ai Kaorou, can you actually drink this?"
Even Long Shaoyu couldn't help but ask.
"Why can't you drink it?"
Chu Chen turned his head, puzzled, looked at Long Shaoyu, then turned back and seriously examined the Thunder Tiger Blood Soup, and patted his chest assuring, "Big brother, don't worry, it's cooked, it won't cause a stomach upset."
A stomach upset?
Is this about getting a stomach upset?
This is about possibly becoming an idiot if you're not careful.
Although the mask on his face could also to some extent block soul attacks, that was from outside attacks. Who knew if eating this Red Flash would still defend against them?
"Brother, I'm here."
At that moment, having finished dealing with the Red Flash Eagle, Chu Xin, carrying the Red Flash Eagle in one hand and a large bowl of Thunderhawk Blood in the other, arrived in an instant.
She placed the Red Flash Eagle on the other side of the grill, set down the Thunderhawk Blood, picked up a bowl of Thunder Tiger Blood Soup handed to her by Chu Chen, puffed her rosy lips and blew on it twice, then eagerly took a sip.
Crackle!
Red lightning burst in her mouth, even enveloping her tiny frame with a layer of red electric arcs.
Everyone watched the little body, waiting for her reaction to the soup.
"Wow! It's hot, aromatic, and tastes so good."
Chu Xin, while puffing her mouth, fanned her face with her tiny, white hands and excitedly said.
The red electric arcs surrounding her also dispersed, showing no effect on her soul.
"Can it really be drunk?"
Long Shaoyu still seemed skeptical.
"Of course, it's delicious. Big brother, you should try it too."
Chu Xin nodded repeatedly, and then took two more generous sips, letting out a long and satisfied sigh.
Chu Chen poured a bowl and handed it to Long Shaoyu, saying, "Big brother, won't you give it a try?"
"Okay!"
Long Shaoyu was a bit hesitant but couldn't resist the tempting aroma; he cautiously sipped a little.
Crackle!
Red lightning burst inside his mouth, spreading throughout his body.
Instantly, Long Shaoyu's body stiffened, but he quickly recovered and exclaimed, "It tastes really good! The Red Flash doesn't attack the soul anymore. It explodes in the mouth with a tingling sensation but does not harm the body. Ai Kaorou, how did you manage this?"
