MCIF Chapter 9.3

Chapter 9.3 - Feng Nu and the Heavenly Flame Sword

"Feng Nu, what do you eat every day? Why is there only rice?" Nian Bing asked puzzledly.

Feng Nu lowered her head and embarrassedly said, "Ah, every day, I only drink congee! It was the same when master was still alive; he said that congee works best for digestion. We would occasionally buy and cut some vegetables to boil with the congee. Master also said it was nourishing enough. I just ate the last vegetable yesterday, so I'll go buy some now. What else do you need?"

"Only drink congee?!" Nian Bing looked at Feng Nu, dumbstruck. He laughed bitterly. "Your lifestyle really is plain and simple. No need to go buy anything. Let's go out instead."

Once again, they went into the courtyard. Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing. Guiltily, she said, "Sorry! You were supposed to stay for a meal, but I forgot that I didn't have any vegetables."

Nian Bing shook his head and smiled. An indescribable feeling of tenderness rose inside his heart. "It doesn't matter. I'm quite resourceful. If I can't even deal with this, then I'm not fit to be the Demon Chef's disciple." While chatting, he looked around. The sun had already rose high in the sky. He quickly found what he was looking for on top of the courtyard wall. He lifted his hand and pointed toward it. From his eyes glinted blue, two equally colored lights flashed like lightning from his finger. Immediately, two pigeons that were playing on the wall were pierced, and fell lifelessly inside the courtyard.

Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing in shock. "You can also use martial skills? But why did you kill the pigeons?! Ah, they are so pitiful!"

Nian Bing said, "I can't use martial skills. That was merely ice magic, a low level ice arrow spell. Also, countless people are killed every day, so killing a pigeon or two shouldn't be that big of a deal. Feng Nu, you should know that in a chef's eyes, as long as something can be eaten, it can be classified as an ingredient. Besides, you simply have none in your house. I really have no other choice, but to gather ingredients in this way."

Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing resentfully. "I didn't expect you to be such a cruel person."

Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, "I'm a cruel person? Well, you just don't have to eat my cooking later then." While speaking, he picked up the pigeons and walked to a corner. After going through eight years of strict training, his spirit power had reached a very high level. When he had produced the ice arrow, it shattered the two pigeons' heads, letting them die a painless death.

He walked past Feng Nu, still holding the pigeons. Looking at her with a somewhat dull gaze, Nian Bing smiled and said, "Pigeons have an extremely rich nutritional value. Their meat are very beneficial to the body. It's effective in strengthening the body and kidneys. Since you said I'm cruel, don't beg for some after I've finished cooking." He immediately walked inside the kitchen.

"No way. I'm not going to beg!" Feng Nu stubbornly glared at Nian Bing before following him.

Nian Bing took a basin, changed the water, and returned to the courtyard. With quick movements, he unplucked all the feathers from the pigeons and took out their five visceras before neatly cleaning them from inside out.

Seeing the gore and blood, Feng Nu furrowed her eyebrows. She persisted on staying near Nian Bing and continue to observe him. Nian Bing only smiled faintly. With a flip of his wrist, he took out the Morning Dew knife from his chest. As he used his spirit power to control his magic, he easily directed his magic into the bloody basin and the five visceras to freeze them. Gently, he turned over the basin, and the ice fell out. Nian Bing skillfully took the washed pigeons out of the ice and softly chanted, "Scorching fire, burst forth your passionate heart! Exploded into this world between Heaven and Earth, Exploding Flame spell!" In front of him, fire concentrated into a ball. A bright and shiny light sparked in his eyes as the Exploding Flame's sphere of about 12.5 cm in diameter loudly rumbled and exploded with a Bang!The chunk of bloody ice disappeared without any trace, leaving behind only thin evaporating steam .
