Chapter 80 Junior Sister Certification, Yun Yun Cooks

The competition stage for the Outer Sect Disciple was right next to the flight plaza.

After asking Gu He, Liu Ling and Xiao Yi Xian stepped onto the competition stage, eager to try.

A sensible Outer Sect Disciple had already set up two wooden chairs and a small table under the spectator stand.

On the table were fresh fruits and a plate of melon seeds.

Qing Lin stood behind Gu He's chair, her large eyes wide as she watched the competition stage, staring fixedly at Xiao Yi Xian.

She knew the strength of Sister Xian!

Gu He cracked a melon seed, handed two to Yun Yun, and looked up to watch the two compete.

Liu Ling politely made a "please" gesture, signaling for Xiao Yi Xian to make the first move.

Xiao Yi Xian did not stand on ceremony.

Her poison Dou Qi condensed into a gray cloud, raining countless dark gray, highly toxic droplets onto the competition stage.

After the raindrops hit the ground, they silently dissipated, turning into wisps of poisonous gas that rose slowly.

They drilled back into the gray cloud, then transformed into raindrops and poured down again, repeating the cycle several times.

Liu Ling was stunned by this scene, his mind unable to react in time.

"Are you not coming over to attack me?" He instantly deployed his Dou Qi armor to block the raindrops.

Seeing that Liu Ling did not know there was poison in the rain, Xiao Yi Xian sighed slightly.

This Senior Brother of hers was quite foolish.

How embarrassing~

Liu Ling launched five huge wooden vines, attacking Xiao Yi Xian. The tips of the vines were sharp and faintly revealed a small flame—

This was the flame technique he had been Cultivating under Gu He's guidance.

Xiao Yi Xian smiled coldly, and the Heavenly Yin Poison Hand appeared out of thin air.

The giant Dou Qi hand, like someone grilling skewers, grabbed all five of Liu Ling's wooden vines and slammed them straight into the ground.

The wooden vines instantly turned into ashes.

Liu Ling's expression changed.

How did she destroy his move so easily?

Could it be that her cultivation was not shallow?

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest.

"You... this rain is poisonous?"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled lightly, and only then did she release the Dou Huang pressure she had been restraining.

Under the intense pressure, Liu Ling's shoulders slumped, his face turning awkward and unsightly.

"You... you are actually a Dou Huang??"

A shade of green appeared on his pale face, like an overturned palette.

"You clearly don't look older than me...!"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled placidly and said indifferently, "Senior Brother, do not underestimate anyone."

With her Calamity Poison Body, paired with the Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique provided by Gu He, her advancement speed was astonishing and incomparable to Liu Ling's.

Peers could only look up to such Cultivation speed.

At this moment, Liu Ling's thoughts were in turmoil. He looked down at the stage; his teacher, Gu He, was cracking melon seeds with Sect Master Yun Yun, as if the outcome of their competition was already clear to them.

And the look Gu He gave him was filled with consolation.

"Teacher... he wants to dampen my arrogance!"

Liu Ling reflected on himself and knew what to do.

He put away his dissatisfaction and looked at Xiao Yi Xian, saying,

"Junior Sister, this Senior Brother admits defeat!"

"It is this Senior Brother whose skills are inferior, and who also underestimated you."

"I should not underestimate any opponent!"

Xiao Yi Xian retracted the poison rain and walked in front of Liu Ling, her smile remaining on her face.

Liu Ling looked at Xiao Yi Xian's smile, feeling it had a deeper meaning, and mumbled,

"Junior Sister, are you going to..."

Xiao Yi Xian handed a paper-wrapped Medicinal Pill to Liu Ling and blinked.

"The poison from my Dou Technique can only be neutralized by the medicine I prepare. Senior Brother, don't underestimate my poison. If you don't take the antidote, even if you force the poison out, you will lose your hair and become bald~"

Liu Ling's expression became stern. He couldn't help but reach up to touch his head, and only relaxed after feeling his thick hair.

"Alright, Junior Sister!" Liu Ling took the Medicinal Pill and swallowed it, having already accepted Xiao Yi Xian as his Junior Sister in his heart.

A stick and a carrot, he, Liu Ling, loved it!

Gu He spat out some melon seed shells, went up to give the two a few words of instruction, and then announced the result of the match.

The competition ended, and the many Disciples who were watching the commotion dispersed one after another.

After Gu He arranged rooms for Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, he escorted them to their residence.

After finishing these tasks, Gu He and Yun Yun had lunch together.

In Gu He's room.

The two sat close together in front of a round table, on which were empty plates and rice that had barely been touched.

"The Cloud Mist Sect's chef's skills are getting better and better." Gu He looked at the plates he had eaten clean and praised.

"Really?" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu He attentively.

"Really, why would I lie to you!" Gu He said.

When the meal was served by Yun Yun herself, he had already sensed something was wrong, because previously, maids had always served the food.

Then he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it.

The potatoes were sweet, the fermented rice balls were sour, and the crispy kelp knots were hard...

He guessed that this meal was definitely not made by a chef, but was absolutely cooked by Yun Yun herself!

No wonder she said goodbye to him in advance; it turned out she went to the kitchen to cook... Although the taste was unsatisfactory, Gu He felt her sincerity.

Yun Yun recalled Gu He's lightning-fast eating speed. She originally wanted Gu He to taste each dish, and then she would eat.

As a result, Gu He stopped her, saying he was very hungry and wanted to eat it all.

"Then... I'll bring up the last dish." Thinking of the dish of pickled fish in the kitchen, Yun Yun got up and left the room.

After she left, Gu He hurriedly stuffed a healing Medicinal Pill into his mouth.

He never expected that he would one day use a low-level healing pill to treat a stomach cramp.

Strong, too strong.

His body, which had been strengthened by the System, actually couldn't withstand the poison of this dark cuisine.

...

In the kitchen.

Yun Yun had just picked up her pickled fish and walked a few steps when she suddenly wanted to taste the dish herself.

"Hmph, you ate all the dishes I made, I didn't even get a chance to eat any!"

"This time I must taste it!"

Yun Yun put down the pickled fish, picked up clean chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish that looked tender and smooth, and put it into her mouth.

"Mmph..."

The taste was strange, so bitter.

She remembered adding chili... It should have been spicy, so why did it become bitter?

She picked up another piece, suspecting it was her imagination.

"Ugh—"

Yun Yun really couldn't take it anymore; she couldn't convince herself that this was pickled fish.

So the things she made were this terrible?

Then how did Gu He eat so fast and so happily?

Or was he eating fast just because he didn't want her... to discover this fact and be unhappy?

Tsk... Bad guy Gu He!

Yun Yun dumped the whole plate of pickled fish, washed her hands, and returned to the room with red eyes.

As soon as she saw Gu He, she pounced on him.

"Bad guy! You knew it tasted bad and didn't tell me! Aren't you afraid there's poison in the food!"

Gu He patted her shoulder, his voice chuckling, "I am an Alchemist, I won't die."

"And is the food bad? Maybe I just like this style?"

Yun Yun punched Gu He's chest, "You're a pervert, aren't you!"

Gu He picked her up, "Hmm, very perverted in front of you."

He leaned in.

"I just ate and haven't rinsed my mouth yet!" Yun Yun snorted, pressing her fingertip against Gu He's mouth.

"I'll take you to rinse your mouth." Gu He bounced her slightly and carried her into the inner chamber.

Yun Yun's water-blue robe was like gentle waves, brushing past the green moon.

In the inner chamber, the room was filled with fragrance.
