The fox, who had rushed out, saw someone come forward and immediately retreated. The dizzy Guan also joined Kitty's side. Only the cow, who was still spurting out urine, was blocked by Ping Chao's continuous wave of the cloak. The effect of the fox's spokesperson going berserk was really strong.
"Nian Bing gege." Kitty's voice was full of surprise. She rushed up from behind and grabbed Nian Bing's big hand.
Because of excitement, Kitty's small face was flushed red. She shook Nian Bing's hand hard, as if she had forgotten that she was facing a strong enemy.
Nian Bing looked at Kitty awkwardly, then immediately stared at Ping Chao and coldly said, "People from the dark, why are you attacking my friend?"
Ping Chao did not answer Nian Bing's question. He stared at the Holy Brilliance Sword in his hand. Suddenly, his whole body trembled violently and his upper body bent down. Nian Bing thought that he was going to attack, so he immediately held the long sword in his hand horizontally and quickly chanted a spell.
"Youyou, it's the power of light. Let's leave here first." The golden light on the Holy Brilliance Sword gave Ping Chao an unfathomable feeling. Although he was not afraid, he had to take Youyou into consideration.
Youyou's angry eyes stared at the piglet Guan, and her hands constantly patted the dust on her body. For her, who was obsessed with cleanliness, Guan's behavior was unforgivable.
Ping Chao suddenly made a sharp cry. Fine short hair grew on his body, and the fangs under his lips became more prominent. His red eyes were full of a strange feeling. Suddenly, his bent body shook violently, and two huge wings appeared as a cloak. Seeing this strange scene, Nian Bing could not help but be stunned for a moment. There was a short pause in the incantation in his mouth. Taking advantage of this moment, the black fog suddenly expanded. Ping Chao's body retreated like lightning. In the illusion, Youyou had already arrived on his back. The huge wings suddenly flapped, and countless black air currents shot towards Nian Bing like wind blades.
Nyan Bing's incantation was also completed at this moment. Just like how Ping Chao was afraid of harming Youyou, he was also afraid of harming Kitty. He didn't want to be meritorious, but he wanted to avoid making any mistakes. The golden radiance with a holy aura suddenly flourished. The Post Radiance Saber brought up a golden barrier of light. When the black airflow came into contact with the holy golden light, it immediately disappeared without a trace. It didn't even produce much impact. Light was the nemesis of darkness, and this was especially evident on the Holy Radiance Blade that had once been used by the Sacred Teacher.
The dark air current disappeared along with the golden light. When Nian Bing and Mao Mao looked again, Ping Chao had already turned into a black dot in the night sky with You You. You You's hateful voice clearly traveled into their ears, "Little pig, just you wait. I won't let you get away with dirtying my clothes. I will definitely make you regret being a pig in this world. "
Guan suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He subconsciously shivered and hid behind the cow. His intuition told him that Youyou's words weren't as simple as a threat.
At this time, the cow had already stopped spraying milk. It seemed to have used up a lot of energy. Hot air was constantly coming out of its nose, and a pair of angry cow eyes were firmly fixed on Fox Na Na not far away.
Nian Bing didn't chase. In his opinion, the people of the underworld didn't have any direct connection or threat to him. As long as they didn't harm his fundamental interests, why should he be an enemy? He already had enough troubles. He turned to look at Kitty and was just about to ask a few words of concern. Kitty suddenly jumped, and Nian Bing's neck tightened. Kitty had already hugged him. Kitty was much shorter than Nian Bing, and with this hug, she was hanging on to Nian Bing. "Big brother Nian Bing, I missed you so much! It's so good to finally see you again. "
Nian Bing awkwardly hugged Kitty's waist. Although Kitty was only about 16 years old, the fragrance of a young girl on her body made the hot-blooded Nian Bing panic. "Kitty, don't be like this. Come down first. Your little pets are still watching."
"No, I won't come down. I want you to hug me. Big brother Nian Bing, don't you treat me as a little sister? "Kitty insisted on clinging to him, and didn't want to let go no matter what.
Hearing the word 'little sister', Nian Bing's heart calmed down. That's right! Didn't he always treat Kitty as a little sister? How dare he let his imagination run wild just now. He really deserved a beating. No longer feeling awkward, he hugged the cat's delicate body and smiled, saying, "How could that be? In Brother Nianbing's heart, you're the cutest little sister! Kitty, what happened just now? Why did those two people attack you? "
Kitty pouted angrily and said, "Who knows why they did that? That Youyou called herself a little witch. She's so annoying. I was just about to go to sleep when she attacked me. Fortunately, my spiritual magic senses are very sensitive, so they didn't succeed in their sneak attack. Just now, the way they left was so strange! That big guy seemed to have turned into a beast. "
Nian Bing thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure that it was a beast? How can a person turn into a beast? Does that guy have a non-human bloodline? "
Kitty let go of Nian Bing's hand and let him hold her. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. But I can feel that the moment they left, that person released the aura of a beast."
Nian Bing put Kitty down and said, "Put away your precious pets first. It's not good to let others see them. Oh, by the way, Kitty, you didn't run out alone again, did you? "
Kitty giggled and waved her hands to put away the piglet, fox, and cow. She said, "No, I'm the most obedient. This time I came out with Daddy."
Hearing that Hillard was also there, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel nervous. He still clearly remembered Hillard's warning to him last time. That unfathomable dragon summoner was extraordinarily powerful. However, such an obvious dark aura had appeared, and the target was his daughter. Why didn't he come out to help? There was no reason for him not to feel it!
Kitty saw Nian Bing's thoughts and giggled. She said, "Daddy went to drink with Uncle Little Magic Snake. Uncle Little Magic Snake didn't seem to welcome me, so he didn't take me." She then told him how she came to Taru City. It turned out that when she was brought home by her father, no matter how much Hillard pressured Kitty, she just didn't cultivate her spiritual magic. She was the apple of Hillard's eye, and she had her mother to support her. Even if Hillard's magic was strong, he couldn't do anything to her. In the end, Hillard had no choice but to promise her that as long as her magic made a certain amount of progress, he would take her to play around the continent. Only then did Kitty give in and seriously learn her spiritual magic. More than half a year had passed. Her innate comprehension was good, and she had made a lot of progress in her spiritual magic and summoning magic. Coincidentally, Demon General Arc Light sent them an invitation to come to Taru City to watch the Hua Long Cooking Challenge. In order to encourage his daughter, Hillard took her here.
After listening to Kitty's words, Nian Bing couldn't help but be surprised. The powerful Hillard really had a wide circle of friends. Even a military officer like the Demon General was his friend. "Kitty, have you really never seen those two people before? Think about it carefully. Although they used the power of darkness, even people in the dark wouldn't easily make a move if they didn't have a certain purpose. "
Kitty pouted and said, "You don't believe me? I really haven't seen them before! Although that Youyou looks very loathsome, but this time she has helped me out. Guan Guan has evolved to the second stage. It seems that the stimulation of the outside world is very good for their evolution. In the future, I'll have to find ways to stimulate them more. " Her poor pets were in a daze in Kitty's space, and their upcoming fate was pitiful.
Nian Bing's mind turned. Kitty wouldn't lie to her. But why did those two people attack her? What the hell was going on? However, from the other party's attack, it seemed that they didn't have the intention to kill Kitty. Just as he thought of this, suddenly, his spiritual power shook violently, and the huge pressure made him take a step back. His eyes instantly locked onto the darkness not far away. The Holy Radiance Sword in his hand was raised again, and a tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness. "Nian Bing, why are you here?"
"Senior, it's you." The person who came was Hillard, although his expression was very calm. But his eyes flashed with a cold light. Kitty also saw her father, but she didn't run over. She said with dissatisfaction, "Dad, why did you come back so late? Kitty was bullied just now. Fortunately, Brother Nian Bing saved me. Otherwise, I would have suffered a big loss. " Kitty's words were naturally a bit exaggerated. Even if Nian Bing didn't make a move, it wouldn't be easy for Youyou and the others to hurt her with the second order fox and piglet.
Hillard walked to his daughter and said in surprise, "Someone bullied you? Who was it? "
Kitty told what had happened before, and described Youyou as a terrible witch. Hillard was frightened when he heard this. He put his hand on his daughter's shoulder and confirmed that Kitty didn't suffer any harm. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He hugged his daughter's shoulder and said to himself, "It turned out to be a vampire. I haven't seen this kind of creature for many years. Kitty, the next time you meet them, try not to pay attention to them. Hmph, they attacked my daughter when I wasn't around. It seems that these dark guys are ready to make a move again.
Kitty said in surprise, "Vampire? Isn't that a bat? Dad, I want a bat as a pet. "
Hillard frowned and said, "Vampires are a kind of pure dark creature. They have the ability to turn into bats, but they aren't real bats. They have the blood of humans, so they can't be pets. Furthermore, dark creatures have stronger mental strength than other creatures. If something goes wrong, it will be very easy for them to backfire. Vampires are very strong and fast. If it was a prince level vampire, I'm afraid that only Carodis would be able to deal with it. However, it is almost impossible for a prince level vampire to exist. After all, during the ancient war …" He paused for a moment before continuing, "Vampires aren't very scary. They have their own weaknesses. Every day, no matter how strong a vampire is, their combat strength will decrease a lot. Our people used to raise dark pets, and they were called dark summoners. However, raising a dark pet requires a lot of effort, especially one's own blood and soul. Although they can quickly increase their strength in a short period of time, it is impossible for them to become a truly powerful summoner. To have the protection of a vampire, that little witch called You You must have an extraordinary background. You have to be careful in the future and try not to leave my side. "
Kitty was a little unconvinced and said, "Then why can that little witch have a vampire as a pet?"
Hillard smiled and said, "Silly girl, that's not a pet. It should be a servant or something. Although the dark magic that little girl used wasn't very strong, from what you said, it should be the most authentic dark magic. Her elders' abilities are probably not below mine. It's natural for her to have a vampire as a servant."
Hearing this, Nian Bing couldn't help but interject, "They don't seem to have any hostility. They didn't really try to kill Kitty."
Hillard raised his head and looked at Nian Bing. "It's hard to predict the situation of the dark creatures. Their thoughts are extreme and their actions are often different from ordinary people. Why are you here? It seems like a coincidence! "
Nian Bing was furious. She knew that Hillard was always wary of her, so she suppressed her anger and said indifferently, "Senior Hillard, I came to Taru City to participate in the Hualong Culinary Challenge. When I was meditating, I discovered the dark aura and came out. Kitty has already told me what happened after that. I treat Kitty as my little sister. She was in danger, so how could I not help. It's too late, you and Kitty should go to bed. Goodbye." After saying that, she turned around and walked in the direction of her hotel without waiting for Hillard to ask again.
"Brother Nian Bing, don't go, okay?" Kitty anxiously called out to Nian Bing.
Nian Bing stopped and looked back at Kitty. She smiled and said, "Hurry up and go back to sleep with your father. Girls don't look pretty if they sleep too late. Brother also has to go back. Goodbye, Kitty. " He quickly chanted the spell, and the blizzard carried his body high into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. He was full of resentment towards Hillard's wariness, but at the same time, his desire for power was strengthened. He knew very well that whoever was stronger would have more power. If his strength could reach the same height as Hillard's, would Hillard still treat him like this?
Looking at Nian Bing leaving, Hillard frowned. He thought to himself, "I haven't seen him for just half a year, but this kid's strength seems to have increased a lot. The same origin of ice and fire is really extraordinary!"
"Dad, why did you drive Nian Bing away? He saved me. Not only did you not thank him, but you were also cold to him. Nian Bing didn't offend you." Kitty's voice was full of indignation.
Hillard said sternly, "Kitty, you have to remember that you are a white person. We white people have our own world. It's better to have less contact with the outside world. As the saying goes, you may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. The human heart is the most difficult thing to see clearly in the world. What you see is only the good side of Nian Bing, but you don't really understand him. Remember, don't contact him in the future, understand? "
"No, I don't understand," Kitty said, "Brother Nian Bing is so good to me, how can he be a bad person? He was willing to sacrifice himself to save me. Is all this fake? Dad, you are measuring the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. "
How dare you talk to Dad like that? " Hillard's face darkened. If it were another person, they would have been frightened by his strong mental pressure. However, Kitty could be said to be his nemesis. She looked at her father without giving in. "I'm not wrong. Brother Nian Bing is good to me. Dad is bad! Boohoo, Kitty doesn't have a brother. It's not easy to find a brother, but Dad is so fierce to him. Boohoo, Dad is bad. When I go back, I will tell Mom that you have to sleep on the floor for a month, no, three months. " “
Hillard looked at his daughter. He really couldn't do anything to her. However, at this moment, a strong murderous intent rose in his heart. He knew very well that although Kitty only regarded Nian Bing as a brother now, if she continued to be in contact with him, when Kitty gradually matured, it was difficult to say that she would not have feelings for Nian Bing. After all, Nian Bing was the best choice in terms of appearance and strength. He was born with a strong attraction to girls. No, he couldn't allow that to happen. As his heir, Kitty's future husband could only be a white man.
"Okay, okay. Don't cry. Dad promises you that when I see Nian Bing in the future, I will treat him better. That's okay, right? " "Think about it," Hillard comforted his daughter.
When Kitty heard this, she immediately smiled through her tears. She hugged Hillard's arm and said, "Dad is the best. Kitty will definitely be obedient." The naive girl didn't know that her pleading had brought a fatal disaster to Nian Bing. Holding his daughter's delicate body, a cold light flashed in Hillard's eyes. He looked in the direction where Nian Bing disappeared and had a plan in mind.
Back in the restaurant, with strong willpower, Nian Bing quickly forgot the previous unhappiness. He didn't hold a grudge against Hillard. Hillard had already told him very clearly that the reason why he wasn't allowed to get close to Kitty was because he was a white man. After all, only Caucasians could practice summoning magic, especially Dragon Summoners like them who were of the same lineage. Nian Bing's heart was very open. After all, he only saw Kitty as that. Now, the only women who had a place in his heart were the pitiful Long Ling and the beautiful Tian Xiang Feng Nu.
The second day of the Hualong Culinary Challenge was as lively as the first day. There were six semi-finals today. When the last sixty semi-finalists finished competing, the finalists for the last day would be announced. No commoner would want to miss this grand event that was held once in a few years. Although they couldn't eat those magical delicacies, they were very satisfied to be able to see the skills of these high-level chefs.
Nian Bing stood in the middle of the round platform and the rostrum. From afar, he had already seen Kitty and Hillard on the rostrum, but he didn't greet them. He wore the bamboo hat on his head that he had bought earlier to cover his face. He had already asked, and his semi-final was the last one of all the semi-finals. He was afraid that it would be held after noon. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to observe the cooking skills of others first. After a night of meditation, his mental power had reached its peak. Today, he was close to the competition stage, so he could clearly see every movement of the chefs on the stage. Soon, Nian Bing forgot about everything around him and wholeheartedly immersed himself in appreciating the cooking skills. All the chefs who could enter the semifinals had their own things that he could learn from. Even though there were no other great culinary masters like Little Tian and Momo, the unique designs and ideas of these chefs had opened up his mind. When he learned about his own cooking skills, he instantly had many new and interesting ideas.
When one was focused, time often passed the fastest. Unknowingly, the fifth semi-final had already ended. The emcee on the stage announced the sixth semi-final. When he read Nian Bing's name, he woke up from his immersion in cooking and realized that it was time for him to go on stage. He didn't want to easily show off his magical cooking skills in front of so many people. Before he went on stage, he first took out the Sigh of the Snow Goddess and the Roar of the Fire God and put them in his pocket. Then, using the same origin of ice and fire as a foundation, he placed a seal on the two treasured swords so that they wouldn't be obvious on the surface. However, the magical aura on the swords still existed. Walking up the stage, Nian Bing walked at the back. As the last group of the semi-final, there were only seven contestants, including him. Other than Nian Bing, the other six contestants were between 30 and 50 years old. They all had calm temperaments and calm expressions. With a single glance, one could tell that they were high-level chefs who had been cooking for many years.
The emcee led Nian Bing and the six chefs to their respective cooking tables. "Everyone, you are the last group in the semi-finals. You have to work hard if you want to catch up with your colleagues in front of you. I'm sure you have seen a lot in the past two days. The rules are the same. All kinds of ingredients are in the center of the round table. You can take them as you please and make the dishes that you are best at. After that, our people will bring them to the rostrum for judging. The time limit is one hour. Those who can't finish their dish will be deemed as having given up.
The six chefs immediately walked to the table in the center where all kinds of materials were placed as soon as they heard the emcee's announcement. The round table used for the competition was huge, and the storage table in the center took up two-thirds of the space. Hundreds of materials were neatly placed in square boxes. After the fifth group of chefs finished cooking, they had all kinds of new seasonings on the kitchen tables. It could be said that as long as it was a chef's dish, everything was ready. Nian Bing didn't choose the materials as quickly as the other chefs did. She raised her head and looked at the rostrum. Other than Kitty and Hillard, there were a few other familiar faces. Chef Na Yan was sitting at a seat at the edge of the rostrum. Momo was standing behind Na Yan and looking at her. A hint of curiosity appeared in Momo's eyes. She smiled at Nian Bing and nodded her head. Although her appearance was very ordinary, the gentle smile on her face gave people a good impression of her.
Nian Bing also nodded at Momo. At that moment, her mental energy moved slightly. She looked to the side and met Little Tian's gaze. Although Little Tian didn't stand out in the crowd, his sharp gaze easily attracted the attention of someone with strong mental energy like Nian Bing. A hint of provocation appeared in Little Tian's eyes. He looked at Nian Bing and then at the kitchen table. It was as if he was saying, "Let's see what you can do."
Nian Bing smiled calmly. Her gaze returned to the kitchen table. What should she do? Before coming here, under the influence of her strong self-confidence, she didn't even consider this question. She smiled, and her eyes shone brightly. She had already thought of it. Since Little Tian and Momo were holding back, she definitely couldn't reveal her strongest skills. Since that was the case, she would take a step back and use some ordinary cooking skills to enter the finals. With that thought, Nian Bing turned around and walked to the center of the rostrum to choose the materials she needed.
At this time, the other chefs had already started various preparations before cooking. As the Hua Long Culinary Arts Competition only allowed the chefs to participate, and there were no assistants, so everything had to be done by the chefs themselves. For the chefs who were usually only responsible for the final cooking, the one-hour time limit seemed to be a lot more tight. In the previous few competitions, some chefs couldn't finish the dishes because the dishes they cooked were too complicated. Therefore, they couldn't finish it in the end. Therefore, the chefs who were going to participate in the semi-finals had to hurry up and finish the competition as soon as possible.
Nian Bing didn't wait for the rostrum to turn to the other side. After preparing the materials, she immediately started. She held the Sigh of the Snow Goddess and the Roar of the Fire God in her hands. She raised her head to look at Little Tian before starting. The Morning Dew Dagger and the Righteous Yang Dagger shone with a faint red light and blue light respectively. As the light shone, it was just like when Little Tian used the Thousand Slicing Hands yesterday. All the dishes on the chopping board jumped up. Nian Bing's hands created afterimages, and as the light flickered, countless rays of light shot out.
Below the rostrum, Little Tian's eyes lit up. "Lotus Severing Silk Knife Technique." This Lotus Severing Silk Knife Technique was often used by Nian Bing when she was making the Nine Azure Divine Dragon Bing Yun. Although it wasn't one of the five divine knives and most ordinary chefs could use it, it was extremely difficult to master it. Its biggest feature was that the knife had to be cut from both sides so that the materials could be completely extended. The so-called lotus severing silk connecting naturally meant that the thinner the connection, the better. However, the materials couldn't be broken and had to have a sense of integrity. This depended on the chef's attainment in knife skills.
Under the training of Garamandis, Nian Bing's physical strength was far from what it used to be. He had even mastered the number one knife in the cooking world, the Dance of the Dragon, not to mention the Lotus Severing Silk Knife Technique, which wasn't even listed in the five divine knives. With his current level of spiritual power, even if he didn't observe carefully like Little Tian, he could still recognize the various complicated situations in the materials. Under the perception of the various textures in the materials, he didn't need to pay attention to his technique at all. He subconsciously used his spiritual power to move his wrists and fingers, and the two divine knives had already displayed the effects they should have. At this time, even a trace of excessive fluctuation could bring about extreme changes. However, Nian Bing's hands holding the knives were so stable. From the outside, his knife technique was far less beautiful than Little Tian's Thousand Slicing Hands yesterday. However, in the eyes of a cooking expert, they could faintly see that Nian Bing's two knives formed a field, a field formed by the blades. In this field, all the materials changed according to his thoughts.
The knife light disappeared, and Nian Bing casually waved his hand. With a flicker of light, a few materials floated on top of the steamer. He simply took a few spices and evenly sprinkled them on the materials he had accumulated. Then, he closed the lid and directly steamed it over the fire. His movements were extremely fast, and the people below couldn't see it clearly. However, Little Tian saw it, and so did the spirit chefs Na Yan and Momo.
The materials Nian Bing prepared were very simple: four green peppers and five different types of meat. The people didn't notice, but these cooking experts couldn't. When the four green peppers were placed on the steamer, the five types of meat that were swept into the air together with the green peppers disappeared at the same time. Although each piece of meat wasn't much, what did this sudden disappearance mean? The spices Nian Bing put in were very simple. It was nothing more than a chef's usual salt and cooking wine. However, when Nian Bing put in the spices, no one saw what he did.
Nian Bing put away his dual knives and looked at the chopping board. There were only a few green pepper seeds left on the chopping board. These were the seeds that had fallen when he used his knife technique. He revealed a knowing smile and muttered to himself, "I haven't used it like this in a long time. It seems like my knife technique and senses haven't deteriorated, and my speed is much faster than before. Master! Can you see it? "
Nian Bing didn't care about the steamer and leisurely watched the chefs cook. When the other chefs began to cook, he had already started the steamer. A faint aroma wafted out. Nian Bing took out his Righteous Yang Saber again. The saber flashed four times, and four green peppers appeared steadily on the small plate. He didn't decorate it too much. He directly signaled to the emcee that his dish was complete. Although his cooking process was not the fastest, it only took him half the time.
The master of the ceremony came to Nian Bing's side in shock. After seeing Little Tian and Momo's cooking skills, he didn't dare to look down on any young chefs. However, when he saw the four green peppers on the plate in front of Nian Bing, he couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Nian Bing doubtfully and asked, "Are you really going to use these four steamed green peppers for your semi-final dish?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Are you doubting how I entered the semi-final from the preliminary round?"
The master of the ceremony's face turned red. "No, as long as a chef can enter the semi-final, they naturally have a certain level of ability. Our Hualong Cooking Competition has always been known for its fairness and princess."
