The food from the Gourmet School complemented each other. Poisonous food would definitely be a great supplement, provided that one could withstand the poisonous ingredients. This was especially helpful for cultivation and his future cultivation plan. As for his realm, experience, and soul, he was not worried. On the contrary, he was ahead of many people. It was just that it was very difficult to temper one's body. The food from the Gourmet School was actually a good way to temper one's body. Although Lan Daier's test dishes were unpalatable, the ingredients were very expensive.
In essence, as long as one could withstand the toxins, it would be a win-win situation.
Lan Daier, who pushed open the door, was wearing a light blue nightdress. Her long blonde hair was casually tied up with a rubber band at the back of her head, revealing her white neck. Below it was an unfathomably deep and fatal ravine, but obviously, Teacher did not care about this. On the path of cultivation, one had to see through one's appearance. This was also why a considerable number of people in the Tyrants had completely changed their appearances.
"How dare you stand me up." Lan Daier's hand directly reached for Wang Zhong's ear, and she looked unhappy. "We agreed on something, but you made me wait for you from noon to two in the afternoon. I heard that you became the deputy leader of a small exploration team. Are you trying to rebel?!"
"No," Wang Zhong said righteously. "I was preparing a gift for Teacher, that's why I was late."
Wang Zhong was not a fool. After hanging out with Ma Dong for so long, he had learned a few moves, and he felt that they would be very useful in the Holy Land.
"Forget about the gift." Lan Daier was amused by his righteous expression. This guy rarely flattered others, but he would occasionally flatter them with a serious expression. No matter how unhappy Lan Daier was, she would definitely laugh out loud when she saw him like this. "Hurry up, hurry up. The dishes on the table are all cold. If they are left for a while longer, the taste will change. I'm still waiting for your stomach to give me feedback."
"Every time I come here, there will be a table full of delicious dishes already prepared." Wang Zhong's mood became better again, and he casually joked with Lan Daier. "It really makes me feel like I've returned home after a hard day's work."
"Tsk tsk, you've got guts. After so many years, you're the first person who dares to flirt with me. Grass has already grown on your previous grave." Lan Daier looked at him with a faint smile.
An exaggerated expression appeared on Wang Zhong's face as he shook his head like a rattle drum. "I don't believe it. Teacher is a good person."
Good people? Lan Daier didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the Holy Land, all the good people had died. Those who were still alive were those who abided by the rules of the game and were heading towards a path of no return. However, this unexpected food tester did give her a different feeling. Some Holy Disciples were either timid or wanted to fish something out of her. Of course, there were occasionally those who were blind and self-righteous, and they did not end up well. This Wang Zhong was very special. He was rather calm and had even understood the benefits of food testers. He had a sense of propriety, was very broad-minded, and was a little manly.
Most people had been exposed to poisons for a long time. Even if they had antidotes and their bodies could digest and decompose the poisons, there would still be some hidden dangers that would eventually erupt. Thus, very few people could work in this industry for a long time, unless they were born with a strong resistance to poisons. In that case, their body's resistance to poisons would be further stimulated through long-term exposure to poisons.
Wang Zhong definitely belonged to this type of person. Now, the job of food tester would no longer cause him any adverse reactions. Most of the adverse reactions would occur on the spot, and he could recover very quickly. After getting rid of the threat of the poisons, the rest was purely beneficial. He even felt that the more poisonous something was, the more beneficial it would be. The Soul Power in his body would operate at a higher speed and efficiency while dissolving the poisons. Meanwhile, the large amount of energy contained in various precious ingredients was constantly replenishing his Soul Power. It was like a perpetual motion machine that provided energy for itself and operated on its own, allowing his body to train and accumulate energy at a high speed without feeling tired.
The two of them were now more accustomed to working with each other, and it was easier for them to communicate. Naturally, they had some free time. This was often a good time for Wang Zhong to ask some questions about the structure of the human body, or to talk about some relaxing topics. But today, he didn't seem to have any new questions. Instead, he boldly criticized Lan Daier's restaurant.
"I think the decoration style of the private room needs to be changed. It's too old-fashioned."
"I think the plates for the dishes can be changed. Such a big plate can only hold things the size of cat poop …"
"Hey, hey, hey." Lan Daier was not used to this rhythm. She glared at him and asked him to stop. "What's wrong with you today? You're talking so much about a food tasting. You just went to my restaurant once, and I even gave you a discount. You don't have to be so bitter and hateful to me like a resentful woman, right? "
"Who asked your restaurant to be so unscrupulous?" Wang Zhong said with a grin. "But really, I think the most important thing is that the drinks in the restaurant can be changed."
"The more you talk, the more ridiculous it sounds. I'm not a winemaker. My restaurant has all the wines that can be bought in the Holy City. You can't bear to order the expensive ones …"
Wang Zhong clapped his hands and finally got to the point. He even put the tasting spoon aside. "Teacher, try my gift. It will definitely make you feel like you're flying!"
Before he finished speaking, an ordinary wine bottle appeared in Wang Zhong's hand. However, when Wang Zhong opened the bottle cap, a strong fragrance of wine instantly spread through the air.
As a gourmet, wine was also a very important part of her. Although Lan Daier was not good at this, she definitely knew how to do it. Just the fragrance of the wine alone attracted her strong attention.
Without needing Wang Zhong to explain anything, Lan Daier grabbed the wine bottle and took a sip. However, this small sip instantly intoxicated Lan Daier.
The aroma and texture of the wine were not the best. There were many wines that were mellower than this, but none of them had the lingering charm of this wine. There was an indescribable aftertaste in the mouth. This feeling …
She saw a handsome man walking towards her, holding a bright red rose in his hand. The smile on his face was so bright. "Will you marry me?"
Solo!
Lan Daier was instantly lost.
Solo was her fiancé. She agreed to marry him the day he proposed to her. That was the happiest moment in her life, but it was also on that day that Solo received a mission from the exploration team. In the end, when he returned, even his corpse was gone.
Emotions were undoubtedly extravagant and cruel to practitioners. Then, all happiness disappeared, and delicacies became her only pursuit. No matter what, she could not satisfy the desire in her heart. The more she wanted to create something good, the more emptiness and … boundless loneliness were all that was left.
Most of the time, Lan Daier did not know why she kept doing this. She could not return to the past. How many practitioners knew about their future?
The Holy Saint Teacher. There was only one Holy Saint Teacher in this world.
Lan Daier knew that she was not the Holy Saint Teacher. She just wanted to use cultivation to erase the pain of longing, but time only brought about numbness. She did not want to become a walking corpse. Delicacies could remind her that she was still alive, but when would this end?
Lan Daier drank mouthful after mouthful. Unknowingly, crystal clear tears had already covered her face. The flower on her left shoulder had fallen, revealing half of her body. There was an indescribable visual impact. Sexy, real, mature … yet, it made people feel pity for her.
When the wine was finished, Lan Daier's gaze also returned to normal. From the beginning to the end, she was in a half-awake state, but she was unwilling to let go of this real feeling. Although she was extremely sexy and beautiful, there was only admiration in Wang Zhong's eyes. It was normal to be impulsive at this age, but Wang Zhong was different from ordinary people since he was young. Impulsiveness and rationality were mixed together. It was a very special feeling.
Most importantly, he could see that Lan Daier's tears were filled with loneliness and despair.
Lan Daier did not care about being taken advantage of at all. "What is this wine called?"
"Samsara."
"The wine is good, and the name is good too. You can go back. I want to be alone today." Lan Daier's lips curled into a smile.
Wang Zhong got up. He was an Apprentice, so there was obviously no need for him to show off in front of a teacher. However, as soon as he got up, Lan Daier pulled him closer. A fragrant breeze blew, and his chest came into contact with a large piece of softness. Soft and moist red lips pressed against his, and Wang Zhong's head buzzed.
"Little guy, this is your reward!"
That sexy voice went straight to his soul. Even after she left for a while, Wang Zhong was still dizzy. His so-called calmness and composure seemed to have collapsed at that moment.
Loneliness … was also Wang Zhong's nature. The moment he saw Lan Daier cry, it was as if a seed had sprouted.
The Tianjing New City Development Zone had not only brought about the development zone of a new city to Tianjing, but the former Tianjing City was undergoing earth-shattering changes. The natives of Tianjing were almost unable to recognize the homeland they were once familiar with. Tall buildings were being built one after another. These buildings were made up of building frames that looked like spare parts. The construction process was like building blocks. Not only was the construction period fast, but it was also far sturdier than traditional buildings.
The biggest impact of the construction of the new district on the people of Tianjing was that there would be more work, and everyone would be useful. Specifically, everyone's lives had become better.
Everyone knew who was the reason for all this. Why was the new district built in Tianjing?
No one dared to talk about all this on the streets of Tianjing. Glory had become a taboo topic. The discontented people had long since filled the prison to the brim. It was said that if someone was arrested again, they would not be imprisoned, but banished. For ordinary people, what was the difference between that and the death penalty?
In the Skylink, with the control of the 10 Great Families and the Federation's moderate cooperation, the popularity of the CHF competition quickly dissipated. Some new hot topics dominated the various search rankings on the Skylink.
Wang Zhong seemed to have been forgotten. Occasionally, someone would mention him or post a video of the CHF competition, but there were usually only a few responses.
On the contrary, the reports on the Assassin Family were continuous. The secrets of the Assassin Family were reported in distorted and exaggerated reports.
The massacre of an entire family, colluding with evil tyrants and profiteers, oppressing civilians, and using inhumane means … It was as if only the Assassin Family was doing evil in the whole world, and all the bad guys in the world were related to the Assassin Family.
Emily gently scrolled through the news on the Skylink. Her eyes were indifferent, and there was no trace of emotion.
In all the news, there would always be one person who would be the focus of the report.
Zhao Chongxin, the great elder of the Zhao Family and a member of the Federation Parliament. At the same time, he was also the person in charge of the extermination of the Assassin Family. After Tumo Assassin was captured, he personally acted as the executioner and carried out Tumo Assassin's death sentence.
"The destruction of the Assassin Family was the result of their own actions. There's an old saying that goes, 'Those who commit too much evil will bring about their own destruction'. This is referring to the malignant tumors of humanity, absorbing the nutrients of the Federation, yet doing things no different from demons …"
In the news video, Zhao Chongxin spoke righteously and looked sanctimonious. However, in reality, he was a demon in human skin.
He was also Emily's next target.
"Master."
A shadow-like figure knelt behind Emily.
The death sentence was Green Crow.
The Assassin Family was once the strongest assassin under Tumo. After Tumo's death, Green Crow was the only top assassin in the Assassin Family.
But at this moment, she knelt behind Emily with her head lowered and was very respectful.
Emily smiled and slowly turned around. She glanced at Green Crow's empty left hand. "Have you recovered from your injury?"
Green Crow lowered her head even more. "Yes, Master."
A month ago, Green Crow's left hand was her dominant hand until she refused Emily's call. The loyalty of an assassin never depended on bloodline. In the darkness, only strength was respected.
Hence, Emily came. Then, she needed to change her dominant hand.
She didn't have a shred of hatred in her heart. That was because, on the day she lost her left hand, she had seen the future. From Emily, she had seen the vast future of the Assassin Family within the darkness. To a person like her, who had dedicated everything to the path of darkness, this was the goal of her life. For this, she was willing to sacrifice everything. Life was never something that an assassin cared about.
Being an assassin was a kind of faith.
"Master, time's up."
"Then, let's go."
Emily stood up and looked calmly at the Green Crow in front of her. Her Heroic Soul power was very special and powerful, but it also had a fatal flaw. The Green Crow was her powerful supplement.
As she stood up, Green Crow's petite and cute body looked like an illusion, but it also looked like she was growing rapidly. Her snow-white skin was stretched, and the light brown pigment quickly covered her original skin color. Her hair was changing color too, and a dark brown color quickly replaced her original hair color.
Rip. Her coat was torn and scattered on the ground. The underwear inside was made of elastic material and was proud of its fullness.
