The iron-beaked bird's legs are strong and elastic; they would be great braised or stewed in soy sauce.

If I were to braise it, this piece would be too big for the pot, so I'll just cut it into pieces and braise it.

After a few minutes of hard work, a pot of fragrant braised chicken was ready.

It contains various side dishes such as purple carrots, large green peas, and fresh blue but non-toxic mushrooms.

It looks strangely colored, like a pot of poisonous, dark cuisine.

But of course it's not poisonous.

Xin Sui tasted the soup and found it to be exceptionally fragrant and rich!

The meat was also extremely delicious.

Just as he was about to put down his spoon, Lou Jiali came over. "Li Xueli, if you hit me again—"

"Ah, it smells so good!"

Xiaoming seems to have a built-in food radar, appearing at crucial moments.

Xin Sui gave him a big smile, more enthusiastic than ever before.

"Come quick, this braised chicken is fresh out of the pot, it's perfect to eat right now."

"I'll cook you another pot of rice. After you finish the meat, you can mix the rice with the broth. That would be perfect."

Xiao Ming nodded his head incessantly, grinning broadly and revealing a set of small white teeth.

Lou Jiali looked at the busy Xin Sui with a hint of resentment.

Xin Sui felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze.

Fortunately, Lou Jiali was also competing, so she stood on the sidelines for a while and then left.

Xin Sui wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and let out a long breath.

They're finally gone.

She looked around. Why hadn't Shui Duoduo and Shui Qingqing arrived yet?

If they don't come soon, she won't have time to leave. What if she gets entangled with Lou Jiali, that masochist?

Fortunately, the siblings came into her sight after a while.

Shui Qingqing's face was filled with undisguised joy, it seemed that she had successfully subdued the spirit.

I just don't know what that spiritual object she chose is?

Did Shui Duoduo choose a magical broom, just like in the novel?

Xin Sui waved to the two of them.

"Sister Lily."

Shui Qingqing jogged over lightly, her face beaming with a smile, her teeth dazzlingly white.

Compared to when she first arrived in Bright City, she now clearly looks like a young girl.

My hair has grown back, and my skin has become two shades lighter.

He looks like he's gained some weight, no longer skin and bones.

She was wearing a well-fitting long-sleeved shirt and trousers, which clearly showed off her slender figure.

The aura of youthful girls is palpable.

Shui Duoduo, who was slowly following behind, was no longer the dark-skinned and thin person he was at the beginning; he looked refreshing and handsome.

In the novel, the siblings' mother is a background character who never makes a formal appearance.

However, they appeared in their father Zhong Kui's memories later on.

She is an absolute beauty.

Otherwise, Zhong Kui wouldn't have chosen her, would he?

Needless to say, Zhong Kui is also a handsome man, especially among the generally good-looking Earthlings.

The child born to such a handsome man and beautiful woman will naturally have the right facial features.

If you eat well, dress well, and tidy yourself up a bit, you'll look stunning.

Later on, as Shui Duoduo grew up, the reason she was so popular with the opposite sex was not only because of her strength, but also because of her good looks.

The siblings are only 15 years old now. I wonder how beautiful and handsome they will be when they fully grow up.

Thinking this, Xin Sui looked at the two of them with a kind of maternal affection, as if she were looking at her own two younger relatives.

Shui Duoduo: "?"

What kind of look was that from Lee Sulli?

Xin Sui led the two aside and kept taking things out of his spatial ring.

Then they split into two groups.

"This pile is clean. I'll teach you how to make braised chicken pieces later. These are the spices and side dishes you'll need."

Shui Qingqing already knew from her younger brother that Sister Lili was going to help them get through the trial again, and nodded gratefully.

"These are yours. Since your cooking skills are not as good as Qingqing's, I won't make anything too complicated for you."

"I'll teach you how to make a dessert later—ginger milk curd, it's simple and delicious."

Shui Duoduo: "Okay."

Living up to Chef Xin Sui's guidance, Shui Duoduo finally succeeded in making a bowl of ginger milk curd after two failed attempts.

On the other hand, Shui Qingqing is much more gifted when it comes to cooking.

Although braised chicken pieces are much more complicated than ginger milk curd, she said she got it after Xin Sui explained the steps once.

Then, using his superpowers, he could use all four hands to wash, chop, mince, and marinate vegetables with incredible efficiency and agility.

Even Xin Sui, an observer, was dazzled by what he saw.

While frying chicken pieces in clear water (fried chicken tastes even better after being stir-fried), Xin Sui suddenly noticed that the cleaver she had placed on the cutting board had actually stood up on its own!

Then, to her astonishment, the kitchen knife hopped and jumped into a basin of clean water, washing itself thoroughly.

After coming out, rub your body on a rag to dry off.

Xin Sui: "..."

"System, is this the spirit that Shui Qingqing subdued not long ago?"

[That's right.]

"Emmm...this seems to be a kitchen knife with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness."

To be honest, these spiritual beings are all quite magical, each with its own unique temperament.

Shui Qingqing called to Xin Sui, "Sister Lili, I've finished making it, come and try it."

Xin Sui took a bite of braised chicken from her hand.

Then he gave her a thumbs up: "It's delicious."

Shui Qingqing was very happy.

Over there, Xiaoming had already finished a whole pot of braised chicken and rice soup, and even cleaned the bottom of the pot.

Wiping its mouth, it flew over here to try the new dishes.
