Chapter 79: Uncovering the Lid When Cooking?!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Although it was currently wreathed in flames, the cauldron itself did not seem to have undergone any changes on the surface.

'Hmm? What a nice smell! This is definitely a cauldron which has refined many a medicine before!'

Xia Lianyan, who had not taken the cauldron seriously from the start, now stared at the ball of fire with interest.

"Senior Brother Bai, this cauldron is really pretty! Can you gift it to this little junior sister?"

Xia Lianyan said cutely with her round eyes open wide and staring straight at Bai Wuxie.

"Of cours- no! I can't give it to you! This is my family's heirloom, so I can't gift it to Junior Sister. If you really like it, senior brother will bring you to buy one that looks exactly the same when we get back, ok?"

'If she's like this now, what'll happen when she grows up?'

Bai Wuxie felt a cold sweat run down the back of his neck. He had almost been charmed by the cute act put on by Xia Lianyan, nearly causing him to lose himself and agree to gift her his family heirloom!

"I like this one the best, Senior brother, can you give it to me... ppwwease?" Xia Lianyan pleaded in her most adorable voice.

"No way. This cauldron is an item that'd been passed through numerous generations in my family. If I gave it away like this, I'll become the family's sinner, and will have let down my ancestors!"

Bai Wuxie's speech was so righteous that even he himself almost believed it.

'Heihei, little girl, you're still a bit too tender to be acting cute in front of this grandmaster. If it was so easy to obtain things using only looks, would I still have to exert myself so much to live? Even this handsome lord was forced to cultivate properly after nearly starving to death trying to eke out a living based on looks, not to mention you.'

Bai Wuxie was completely unmoved by Xia Lianyan's act. He hasn't even gotten a monk to look at their horoscopes yet, not to mention getting married. If he really gave away all his possessions just to obtain the heart of the girl, was he supposed to eat grass himself afterwards?

'Tsk, he actually didn't fall for it. Maybe I should find a chance to knock him out and snatch the cauldron away by force?'

Since her cute act didn't work, Xia Lianyan was understandably annoyed. Immediately, she started thinking of other methods.

The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea. Xia Lianyan's eyes lit up as she looked at the back of Bai Wuxie's head with ill intentions.

"Eh?"

Bai Wuxie suddenly felt a cold shiver travel down his spine, as though something bad was about to happen to him.

'Maybe I'm just being overly paranoid...'

After looking around timidly for a moment, he went back to look at the cooking cauldron.

Half an hour later, the strange runes on the sides of the cauldron started to wriggle and move about as though they were alive!

Numerous phantom images manifested around the cauldron, turning into countless scores of chains which swiveled around the cauldron!

A thick fragrance rose out of the cauldron, permeating the entire area!

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"This cauldron is really magical!"

"F*ck this, what the hell am I eating here?"

One of the junior disciples threw away the Demonic Beast meat jerky in his hands as he smelled the wondrous fragrance.

Processed Demonic Beast meat jerky after all still belonged to dry rations. How could dry rations be compared with the egg of a Grade 3 Demonic Beast cooked in the mystical cauldron?

The numerous disciples could not stop themselves from sucking the fragrant scent into their noses greedily. But apart from making them feel even hungrier, this act served no other purpose.

All the disciples were now looking at Bai Wuxie with a pleading look in their eyes. But Bai Wuxie only turned his head around coldly, as though he hadn't noticed anything at all.

'I might not even have enough for myself, so the rest of your should just continue eating your rations obediently,' Bai Wuxie thought darkly.

A few minutes later, the strange phenomenon around the cauldron disappeared, and the fire spouting from the firestones had also begun to die down.

"Gulp!"

The thick fragrance from the cauldron continued to grow stronger, and many disciples were unable to restrain themselves from swallowing a large mouthful of saliva.

"Roar!"

"Ao!"

"Ying!"

The roars of Demonic Beasts could be heard in all four directions, followed by the crashing of trees and stones nearby.

"Not good! It's a Demonic Beast horde!"

"Heavens! Just how many Demonic Beasts are there?!"

The junior disciples began to panic.

"D*mn it! Block them for me! Don't worry, the Demonic Beasts in this area are at most at Grade 1 or Grade 2 in strength!"

Bai Wuxie was groaning inwardly. This was the first time he had used the cauldron to cook a Grade 3 Demonic Beast egg. How was he supposed to know that it'd cause such a great commotion?!

"Junior Sister, hide yourself and don't leave our side no matter what!" Bai Wuxie hurriedly instructed.

"En, en!"

Xia Lianyan nodded vigorously like a baby chick pecking at corn on the ground as she dove into the middle of the group.

"Ao!"

An ash-gray wolf burst out into the clearing, its eyes fixed on the large cauldron. The egg of a Grade 3 Demonic Beast truly held a great allure for it.

Immediately after, a few more Demonic Beasts also charged into the clearing and directly clashed with the group of humans. Although Bai Wuxie's group was inferior to the Demonic Beast horde in numbers, their combat power was not weak at all. The two sides were so well-matched that neither could gain the upper hand.

'Smells good! It should be cooked by now, right?'

Xia Lianyan sniffed at the air and licked her lips, her little nose moving vigorously like a hamster's.

'Ah, enjoying a good meal while watching a nice show is simply one of the greatest enjoyments! En, let's do it like this,' Xia Lianyan smiled slyly, her pupils lighting up in delight.

"Hong!"

Xia Lianyan leaped forward and removed the lid from the cauldron, causing a golden beam of light, coupled with another green beam of light, both over 5 meter tall, to rush into the air!

What nobody saw was that when the two beams of light exploded into the air, a fishing line with a sharp hook attached to it also descended from the sky at the same time!

"Roar!"

"Sha!"

The moment the lid was taken off, an irresistible smell at least ten times more tempting than the earlier fragrance burst forth, covering a wide area!

Immediately, the Demonic Beasts all seemed to have gone crazy, roaring fiercely as they charged with an even greater momentum! In an instant, Bai Wuxie and the rest were all pushed backwards as they were forced to retreat repeatedly.

The Demonic Beasts all had bloodshot eyes as they looked at the cauldron. Their instincts told them that as long as they could consume the item within the cauldron, they would definitely be able to advance to the next Grade!

'Holy sh*t! A shining cooking equipment?!'

Bei Feng watched in shock as the cauldron in his vision spat out two differently colored lights high into the sky. The first thing he thought of when he saw this was: the little housekeeper uncovered the lid when cooking! [1]

'That's some good stuff, I must bring it back somehow!'

After the advancement to level 2 Fisherman, Bei Feng had gained the ability to see everything within five meters of the hook when Fishing.

Standing up excitedly, Bei Feng swayed the White Jade Fishing Rod slightly, causing the hook to latch onto one of the legs of the cauldron!

'Got it!'

Bei Feng almost leaped on the spot with joy. Who cares if the item belonged to someone else? As long as it was a good item, he would bring everything away!

'The f*ck?! Who dares to snatch this lady's stuff?!'

'My cauldron!'

Xian Lianyan and Bai Wuxie reacted and shouted aloud at the same time, both dashing towards the cauldron which was slowly rising into the air.

"Dang!"

The two moved as quickly as a bolt of lightning, arriving before the cauldron in almost an instant and grabbing onto the cauldron's legs!

'Eh? What great strength!' Bei Feng was momentarily stunned as he felt the enormous force tugging at him through the White Jade Fishing Rod. 'But, what about it? It's still not enough to fight with me! Rise for me!'

Bei Feng pulled on the rod with all his might.

One must know that the Fishing Rod had the ability to reduce something weighing 10 jin to around 1 jin. However, Bei Feng now possessed the strength of over 10,000 jin!

Although he couldn't possibly put out 10,000 jin of force, it was not a problem to exert a force of 8000-9000 jin with a sudden movement with all his strength!

In other words, if Bai Wuxie and Xia Lianyan wished to keep the cauldron, they had to have exert a force of almost 100,000 jin!

"AH!"

"D*mn it!"

The two suddenly felt a humongous force at least twice their own strength pull at the cauldron from the other side, causing them to be unable to resist!

No longer able to hold on, the large cooking cauldron was forcefully snatched away from their hands, shooting high into the sky!

"Since you've already obtained the cauldron, can't you at least leave me the egg?!"

Xia Lianyan screamed in anger.
