CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 396: BEAST GOD FOREST 19 (SHI XIE)

Good things come in pairs. Just as they received a perfect score from Li, they got another perfect score from the judge Huaiqing.

Caicai opened one eye and looked at Huaiqing on the judges’ table.

Noticed that Huaiqing only tasted the delicious sauce on top of the tofu skin meat roll.

As for the tofu skin meat roll...

Sorry, seeing Caicai add ingredients ’openly and honestly,’ there’s no way he’d eat it.

Huaiqing didn’t eat it, and Mo Jiao didn’t eat it either.

All the dishes belonging to Judge Mo Jiao were placed into the Cannibal Flower’s mouth.

The tiny tofu skin meat roll wasn’t even enough for a single bite by the Cannibal Flower, not getting a hint of its flavor.

Yet the necessary score was still given by the Cannibal Flower.

The Cannibal Flower replaced Mo Jiao, filling this Kitchen King Competition with animosity.

It became directly the most annoying judge of them all.

Black and white: shit

Black and white: minus 10 points

"Dead snake, just you wait." Caicai said sinisterly, but with a smile on their face.

Caicai analyzed that Mo Jiao probably gave them minus 10 points because they’d eaten the tofu skin meat roll and fell for Caicai’s trap.

Thinking this way, Caicai felt they didn’t lose out.

In the second round of the competition, Caicai had full marks of ten points from both Li and Huaiqing.

Successfully advancing to the finals.

And Xuan Jiu, long ago, with one roasted chicken, sparked countless rivalries, directly reaching the finals.

Invincible, he waited a long time for the finals to start.

The finalists weren’t many.

Only thirty teams in total.

Xuan Jiu and Caicai each took a spot.

The next door White Tiger Beast King also reached the finals.

The final round’s contest, as long as you win first place and get the highest scores from the three selected judges, you can get clues about the Beast God.

However, everyone’s gaze fell warily on Xuan Jiu and Caicai.

Not many contestants could get a perfect score, altogether just two.

And these two happened to be Wang Dajiu and the Prince.

All of them from Reishi Royal City.

"King." The tabby cat glanced worriedly at the White Tiger Beast King: "The White Fox King is so good at cooking, we may not be able to beat them."

"We have Master Prophet." The White Tiger Beast King was unshaken.

"But Master Prophet is someone from the White Fox Beast King’s Queen..." the tabby cat replied.

This relationship made it feel all twisted when he said it.

Thinking of the connection between Huaiqing and Xiao Jinsheng, the White Tiger Beast King suddenly fell silent.

After a brief pause, a flash of brilliance struck the White Tiger Beast King, saying, "Think from another perspective, considering our relationship with Master Prophet, plus Master Prophet’s connection with the White Fox King’s Queen."

"So whether Reishi Royal City takes first, or we White Tiger City do, we won’t lose out in any case."

"We are basically allies now." The White Tiger Beast King spoke more and more convincingly.

He looked at the tabby cat and advised: "During the finals later, you lead people to disrupt the other contestants, ensuring our White Tiger City or Reishi Royal City can take first."

The White Tiger Beast King was here discussing plans with the tabby cat.

Xuan Jiu and Caicai both confidently prepared the next dish.

Caicai planned to make a kelp green onion soup.

All ingredients it loved.

Whether it tasted good or not, whether it looked good or not, it has a spatula.

Xuan Jiu kept it simpler, directly roasting sweet potatoes.

These two perfect score contenders cooked such simple dishes this round.

It’s something anyone with hands could make.

Instead, it left the other contestants puzzled.

This time, in the finals.

Caicai selected three judges: Yu Yunxiao, Shi Xie, and Ying.

To make these three judges recognize them, Caicai specially added fish balls to the kelp green onion soup, shaping them like cat heads.

Honestly, choosing Shi Xie as a judge, Caicai was quite afraid Shi Xie would poison them.

This time’s dish prepared reminders aplenty, particularly for Shi Xie.

So Caicai even asked Xiao Jinsheng for some treasures.

Belonging to the pearls Shi Xie cried out, Caicai placed them on the bowl and plate for presentation.

When this carefully prepared soup appeared before Shi Xie, seeing the familiar pearls, Shi Xie fell silent.

If he wasn’t mistaken, these pearls seemed like what Shi Xie cried out when visiting Xiao Jinsheng in the living room and Su Ye swept a bowlful of.

No need to overthink; Shi Xie knew immediately this soup was made by an acquaintance.

Originally ready to poison the cat-head-shaped fish ball, Shi Xie’s hand quickly pulled back.

Poisoning a rival didn’t matter.

He was afraid Xiao Jinsheng was also next to this rival, inadvertently harming Xiao Jinsheng.

"What is this?" A young voice coldly inquired from beside him.

"Soup." Shi Xie replied, scanning the young boy with icy blue eyes.

It was a naive face, but one he found incredibly familiar.

"Did she make it?" The young Shi Xie asked joyfully.

The pearls used for presentation on the dish, the young Shi Xie recognized at a glance as belonging to him.

Except they weren’t made by himself at his current age.

But thinking this soup perhaps was made by the Female Master he had been waiting for, the young Shi Xie happily reached to pick it up to drink.

Yet Shi Xie mercilessly slapped the hand away.

"If this was made by the Female Master, it should also include a portion for me." The young Shi Xie looked seriously at Shi Xie.

Shi Xie sneered, simultaneously displaying the Contractual Totem belonging to himself and Xiao Jinsheng: "Without a contract, what do you mean by your Female Master; she’s my Female Master."

Humans cannot empathize with their past selves, nor can fish.

After hardships, he waited for that person who held a seven-year contract with him.

This did not mean upon climbing the Cloud Ladder, accidentally going back years on the timeline, seeing his younger self he would make concessions.

"I have a contract." The young Shi Xie retorted angrily.

If not for the correction of the timeline, when Xiao Jinsheng disappeared, also taking away the contract he had with him.

Thinking of this, the young Shi Xie eyed Shi Xie with hostility: "I am only eighteen now, while you, a twenty-three-year-old man returning here."

"If considering the timing of the contract, I was the first to contract with the Female Master."

"You’re the unnecessary one."

"Kid, looking to die?" Shi Xie’s icy blue eyes sank instantly, glaring dangerously at the young Shi Xie, ice creeping up from young Shi Xie’s feet.

"Old man." The young Shi Xie was not one to be outdone, ice manifesting all around.

The just-served dishes didn’t even have a chance to be tasted, instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

And with a full fighting spirit, the young Shi Xie, even though he was only a Nine-star Superpower, didn’t regard this twenty-three-star superpower man before him.

He wickedly curled his lip, spitting out words at Shi Xie: "Old man, oh no, old man fish."

"Even if the Female Master contracts with you in the end, it’s because she had seen me as a young boy."

As soon as the words fell, the young Shi Xie was choked by Shi Xie by the throat.

Shi Xie’s eyes cold, "If not for the Female Master already having a contract with me, even if meeting you through Time Reversal, she wouldn’t end up with you."

"Humans, it’s precious to have self-awareness, fish too."

"Hmph!" The young Shi Xie’s ice-blue eyes were filled with defiance.

Mobilizing superpowers, he began fighting with Shi Xie.

The entire ocean area exploded with a waterspout, then sealed with ice.

The young Shi Xie was kicked by Shi Xie from mid-air back into the sea, he gritted his teeth, summoning the Ice Bow, aiming at Shi Xie above, and shot at him.

As soon as the Ice Arrow was released, it was swept away together with him into the deep sea by the wave, flipped by Shi Xie’s hand.
