215: Chapter 215 The Knife for Cutting Chili Peppers

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Hurry up and get to work."

Master Bai Mudan clenched her fists tightly.

Although she claimed that she had nothing to fear from such a minor surgery, deep down, she was already panicking.

Deep down, she still felt a surge of fear regarding what was about to happen.

Even with such vulnerability hidden deep within, the high-and-mighty Master Bai Mudan had her pride. She would never reveal such weakness in front of this despicable, shameless punk who only knew how to use low-class tricks.

Her dark eyes darted around as she glared fiercely at Chu Yuan.

Clearly, Master Bai Mudan had mistaken Chu Yuan's well-intentioned warning for malice.

"Do you still wish to act arrogant and haughty, putting on a cold and aloof front in front of this young master?"

"Since you want this young master to take a knife to you, then I will make sure to cut deep. You'll be in for a rough time later."

"I hope you won't be kneeling and begging for mercy, crying and pleading for this young master to spare you when the time comes."

Being treated with such disdain by Master Bai Mudan made Chu Yuan feel extremely annoyed.

He gripped the chili-covered kitchen knife tightly. He had no intention of offering any further warnings to Master Bai Mudan. Instead, without a moment's hesitation, he slashed deeply into the flesh of her wound.

"Ahhh..."

"It burns! You bastard, ah..."

"You damned bastard, what exactly did you get on your knife? Why is it so spicy? The pain—it's killing me!"

Just moments ago, Master Bai Mudan had been acting high and mighty, maintaining an icy, queen-like demeanor as if she were a god looking down upon Chu Yuan, who was nothing more than an ant on the ground.

Unfortunately, her icy facade lasted less than three seconds. As Chu Yuan's kitchen knife sliced through her flesh, Master Bai Mudan could no longer endure it. She let out a hysterical wail and couldn't help but unleash a torrent of abuse at Chu Yuan.

Master Bai Mudan was already severely injured, with shrapnel from a rocket launcher embedded in her body. Having endured that for over ten hours, she was physically and mentally exhausted. Now, with the chili-covered kitchen knife slicing into her skin, this dual agony had pushed her past the limits of human endurance. The intense pain shattered the composure of this top-tier expert, leaving her unable to hold back as she screamed and cried out in agony.

At this moment, Master Bai Mudan, having completely lost her reason due to the pain, could barely even articulate herself.

Although this was not the first time Master Bai Mudan had endured the pain of a sharp blade cutting into her flesh, she had always had a high threshold for such things.

However, the moment that chili-laden kitchen knife pierced her skin, the raw agony made her dizzy. The searing, fiery pain on her skin was accompanied by a burning sensation that felt as if it were scorching her internal organs. It was an agonizing torment that left her feeling as though she couldn't live, yet couldn't die.

"This kitchen knife of mine is just an ordinary vegetable knife; it hasn't touched anything else. Why would this happen?"

Chu Yuan feigned complete ignorance, as if he had no idea what was going on.

Startled by Master Bai Mudan's sudden screaming and scolding, he subconsciously scratched his head, looking completely aggrieved.

Just as Master Bai Mudan was about to continue berating this ignorant punk who only knew how to cause trouble, Chu Yuan slapped his own head, as if a sudden realization had struck him. He quickly said:

"Now that you mention it, I do recall something. I had steamed fish head with chopped chili for lunch today, and I used this kitchen knife to mince two or three pounds of bird's eye chilies. I got busy afterward and forgot to wash the knife."

"Could it be that the knife still had chili residue on it?"

Watching Master Bai Mudan, who was screaming in agony with her face twisted in pain and her entire body feeling as if it were being roasted over a fire, Chu Yuan took it all in.

He nearly burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan had been engaging in role-playing games with Su Mingyue and the others recently. Having gained a deep understanding of character positioning through these games, he had developed a certain level of professional composure.

Even as Master Bai Mudan writhed in agony from his prank, Chu Yuan managed not to break character or burst into laughter, instead maintaining his feigned ignorance.

Seeing Master Bai Mudan hurt so badly by his actions, he deliberately put on a look of having made a mistake, hanging his head in apparent guilt and sheepishness.

Mincing two or three pounds of bird's eye chilies and not washing the knife?

Upon hearing this punk utter such outrageous words,

especially the words "bird's eye chili" coming from his mouth, Master Bai Mudan could no longer hold back and completely lost her composure.

What kind of sin had she committed in a past life, or how many foolish things had she done, to be this incredibly stupid?

After careful consideration, she had actually chosen this freak, this hopelessly stupid fellow, to treat her injuries.

With Master Bai Mudan's current strength, her constitution was several, if not dozens of times, stronger than that of a normal person.

Even her disciple, the Protagonist Ye Yun, could not compare to Master Bai Mudan at all.

Therefore, Master Bai Mudan had absolutely no fear of bacterial infections or the like, because anything that tried to harm her would be neutralized by her powerful internal energy.

Even if Chu Yuan's knife hadn't been sterilized, Master Bai Mudan could have tolerated it.

Because that would not have caused her the slightest bit of harm.

As long as the knife wasn't coated in highly irritating substances like chili or salt, Master Bai Mudan would have been fine with it.

But what Master Bai Mudan never expected was that, due to her own negligence,

this idiot—who was stupider than a pig—had not only brought her an unwashed knife to use as a scalpel, but it was also coated in hair-raising chili residue.

Using a chili-coated knife to cut into her own flesh!

Did this idiot have absolutely no common sense?

Most importantly, this wasn't just any ordinary chili; it was the king of chilies—the bird's eye chili, known for being spicy enough to kill.

Master Bai Mudan was already severely injured and in immense pain; having this knife cut into her flesh was like rubbing salt into her wounds.

Under this dual agony, Master Bai Mudan felt as though her wounds were being seared. The pain in her internal organs was unbearable, as if her entire body were being burned to a crisp.

The pain from this burning sensation was thousands, nay, tens of thousands of times worse than the injury itself. It nearly cost Master Bai Mudan her life.

If not for her immense tolerance, Master Bai Mudan would likely have fainted on the spot.
