After rubbing off the old grime from the original owner's body, Xin Sui felt several pounds lighter, and walked as if floating.
This feeling is just too good!
[Daily Task - Make a loving breakfast for the main villain.]
[Mission Reward - One Basic Defense Talisman (Can withstand a full-force attack from a Great Star Realm Ability User)]
Xin Sui: "I like this reward. System, you're getting better and better."
There are no more than three Great Star Realm (Tier 3) ability users in the entire Thorn City, which means that with this talisman, she is basically safe in the city.
Of course, Xuan Tu, the villain whose combat power is so high that he has no friends, is not considered.
If he wants to kill her, no amount of defense will help her.
The system chuckled but didn't respond.
There was still some dough left over from yesterday, so for breakfast Xin Sui made a pot of handmade noodles, just like the one she had for supper last night.
They even specially fried a heart-shaped egg for Xuantu and placed it on top of the noodles in his bowl.
"Isn't this loving enough?"
[It only counts if the main villain eats it.]
Xuan Tu hasn't been released yet; it's unclear whether it hasn't started yet or is doing something.
Xin Sui said to Xiao Ming, who was almost buried in his bowl, "Go and see if Xuan Tu is awake yet, and call him to come for breakfast."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xuan Tu appeared.
Xin Sui placed the bowl of noodles in front of him, adding a smile: "Eat up."
Xuan Tu picked up his chopsticks.
With a single chopstick, the irregularly shaped heart-shaped fried egg was poked and its runny yolk oozed out, like a face shedding tears.
Xuan Tu picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Compared to the previous meat rolls, the noodles are much tastier.
But what surprised him was not this, but that the noodles actually contained wisps of mysterious energy.
Although he is currently in a weakened state and has lost all his superpowers, he still retains his physical senses.
He could sense that the Xuan energy that entered his body through food was gentler, purer, and easier to absorb than the Xuan energy he absorbed during cultivation!
Could it be that Li Xueli awakened some extraordinary ability overnight?
[Major villain's corruption value -1]
System: Oh yeah!
It seems its guess was correct; the food the host makes comes with a gourmet buff.
Even the villain, who had lost his sense of taste, experienced the beauty of life through her food, thus reducing his descent into darkness.
It is likely that it will achieve its goal.
Xin Sui was also secretly delighted.
Now she was basically certain that Xuan Tu had regained his sense of taste!
This is extremely beneficial for her in carrying out her mission.
But to do something well, you need the right tools. If the kitchen utensils aren't up to par, she won't be able to bring out her culinary skills.
Like yesterday, when she was frying meat with a large spoon, she almost flipped the pan over several times.
Having read the novel, she knew that Xuan Tu was exceptionally skilled with his hands. From building mechs and magical artifacts to making clothes and toys for Xiao Ming, there was nothing he couldn't handle.
"Xiaoming, do you remember what your sister said yesterday about what you need to make braised pork?"
Xiao Ming has a great memory when it comes to food; he recited it fluently.
Xin Sui sighed softly, "I plan to go out and buy the ingredients and seasonings later, but where will I get the kitchen utensils? That iron spoon is barely enough for frying meat and making pancakes, but it won't work for making a dish like braised pork."
Xiao Ming naturally turned to Xuan Tu: "Xiao Guang, can you make kitchen utensils?"
Xuan Tu: "Leave the kitchenware to me, but I'll need you to provide the styles of the kitchenware."
The next sentence was addressed to Xin Sui.
Xin Sui: "No problem."
[The host has completed the mission; the reward, a defense talisman, has been sent to the spatial ring.]
Xin Sui followed Xuan Tu to his studio.
The temperature here is much higher than outside because there's a large furnace burning inside.
All sorts of tools and materials are arranged very neatly, which would make someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel very comfortable.
As Xin Sui was observing, Xuan Tu suddenly approached.
"Li Xueli, are you feeling quite smug?"
In the firelight, his eyes gleamed with a strange and alluring light, and a dangerous aura emanated from them like tentacles, tightly binding her.
Xin Sui's heart skipped a beat. "Well, what's there to be so smug about?"
As he approached, she instinctively retreated until she had nowhere left to go and stood before the large stove.
If she took another step back, her back would be pressed against the scorching furnace wall!
The legendary torture of branding with hot irons would be performed on her.
However, the journey of Xuan Tu did not stop.
Xin Sui placed her hand on his chest and leaned back slightly. "Don't do this, can't we talk this out?"
Xuan Tu curled his lips into a smile that was both mesmerizing and terrifying.
The last time he laughed like that, she was thrown into a horde of zombie rats and was devoured to death.
This time—
Feeling the intense heat emanating from the furnace behind him, Xin Sui had an extremely terrifying thought.
Use the defense talisman you just got right away.
The next second, her guess was confirmed by Xuan Tu.
He grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the furnace wall.
Fortunately, the defensive talisman was effective, and coupled with her own +6 defense, she felt that the temperature on the furnace wall was about the same as the bathwater, which was not unbearable.
The time has come to test her acting skills.
Xin Sui pretended to be in excruciating pain, his facial features contorted.
"ah!!!"
"Xuan Tu, are you out of your mind?! What's wrong with you all of a sudden?!"
Xin Sui struggled desperately, tears streaming down her face.
Xuan Tu did not shake her off like he did last time.
"Li Xueli, I don't know what your intentions are in approaching me, and I don't care. This is just a small warning to you. If you dare to use Xiaoming again, this furnace will be your final resting place."
Xin Sui's eyes were blurred with tears, but he could still feel the murderous aura emanating from him as he spoke.
The murderous aura was tangible, like a cold electric current coursing through her body.
Xin Sui felt as if his whole body was frozen, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.
Yes, she was trying to take advantage of Xiaoming's feelings, hoping to win him over with food and make him her protector.
They also wanted to indirectly influence Xuantu through Xiaoming.
This mention of kitchenware was just a small test.
However, she did not expect Xuan Tu to be so perceptive and to protect Xiao Ming to this extent!
Xin Sui said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
Xuan Tu shook her off, as if getting rid of something dirty.
Xin Sui lay on the ground, clutching his neck and coughing incessantly.
This is the second time, Xuantu. I'll let you experience what it feels like to be choked!
"Get up and tell me what kind of kitchen utensils you want."
Xuantu walked towards the large silver workbench in the center of the room.
Xin Sui got up from the ground, drank a cup of spiritual spring water, and his throat immediately felt much better.
She walked over with her head down and told Xuan Tu about the various kitchen utensils she wanted.
Xuan Tu: "Understood, get out."
