Chapter 131: That Brat Actually Used Divine Sword Milk to Cook Soup?
Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I added dishwashing liquid. After soaking the red lightning in dishwashing liquid, it turned out like this."
"Dishwashing liquid?"
The Heavenly Prides were taken aback and immediately showed faces full of disgust.
How could they drink something that looked so delicious but was mixed with dishwashing liquid?
The crowd that had been eager to try it suddenly dismissed the thought of snatching it.
Even though the Thunder Tiger Blood Soup contained a vast amount of energy, the mention of dishwashing liquid really turned their stomachs.
However, Long Shaoyu's eyes revealed extreme joy, and he began to drink it greedily.
He was aware that this so-called "dishwashing liquid" was actually Water of Purification, which was much more valuable than Stone Milk, Divine Sword Milk, Divine Sword Fruit, or the Five Thunder Fruit.
Although there wasn't much Water of Purification in the soup to forge a Body of Purity, it was still a rare treasure.
"Why does this guy get more excited when he hears 'dishwashing liquid'?"
The Heavenly Prides were speechless seeing Long Shaoyu's manner of drinking the soup.
Considering his attire, he didn't seem like a Loose Cultivator who had never seen the world; how could he behave in such an embarrassing manner?
Chu Chen did not find his "dishwashing liquid" particularly precious, nor did he think it was disgusting; his father had said it was drinkable, but he just preferred using it to wash dishes.
He served two bowls for the little twin-headed pig, which buried both its heads into the bowls and ate heartily.
Chu Chen looked up at the square-faced youth and the bow-holding youth and asked in a childlike voice, "Do you want some?"
"We do!"
"Of course, we do."
They nodded eagerly.
Knowing the true purpose of the so-called "dishwashing liquid," they naturally wouldn't disdain it like the other Heavenly Prides had and began to drink heartily from the bowls Chu Chen handed them.
"Mmm, it's really tasty."
As they drank, they nodded and expressed sincere amazement.
"How long has it been since these people had food?"
The Heavenly Prides were somewhat speechless; despite having heard about the dishwashing liquid, these individuals still drank with such gusto.
Was there any difference between them and beggars who lived by panhandling every day?
Chu Chen also served himself a bowl and drank while turning the roasting meat on the grill.
"Indeed, it tastes quite good."
Feeling the burst of red lightning in his mouth, Chu Chen's round eyes lit up with satisfaction.
"However, for the next batch, can add a drop of Divine Blade Milk and Sword Pond Water."
Chu Chen contemplated to himself.
The Divine Blade Milk contained powerful Sword Energy, and the Sword Pond Water was rich in Sword Intent; combined with the red lightning, they were sure to create a unique flavor.
The pot of Thunder Tiger Blood Soup was quickly emptied, with Long Shaoyu, the square-faced youth, and the bow-holding youth each having three large bowls—the rest was consumed by Chu Xin and her brother Chu Chen.
All the Heavenly Prides stared dumbfounded at the tiny stomachs of the siblings, unable to comprehend how such little ones could consume such a large pot of soup.
"Sister, the roast meat is ready."
Chu Chen picked up a roasted tiger paw and handed it to Chu Xin, smiling as he said, "The paw of a big cat tastes the best, here you go, sister."
"Thank you, brother."
Chu Xin, holding the roast tiger paw that was larger than her body, opened her small mouth and took a bite.
"Roar, delicious, truly delicious."
Unlike the Thunder Tiger Blood Soup, the residual red lightning in the Thunder Tiger roast meat was minimal, since the grill did not lock in the energy.
However, the inherent energy in the meat itself was not lost much.
The meat of the Red Flash Thunder Tiger was better than any grilled meat she'd had since leaving the village.
It was even tastier than the grilled Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail she had eaten at Divine Sword Pavilion.
Seeing his sister burying her head in eating earnestly, Chu Chen had a satisfied expression in his round, bright eyes.
Daddy always said that when it comes to how good the grilled meat is, nobody's opinion counts, you have to see how others are when they eat it.
Regardless of how much a person masks it, the expressions when something is tasty or not are always different.
"Big brother, you all should try some too."
Chu Chen sliced off three more pieces of grilled meat and handed them to Long Shaoyu and the others.
"Damn, this flavor is absolutely amazing."
After tasting a piece, the bow-wielding youth couldn't help but swear with delight.
"So delicious."
The square-faced youth nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Long Shaoyu didn't utter a word and merely kept his head down as he gnawed on the grilled meat.
After tossing a piece of grilled meat to the two-headed piglet, Chu Chen then sliced off a piece for himself and started to enjoy it contentedly.
At the same time, he waved his chubby little hand, and slashes of Sword Energy crisscrossed and chopped up the Red Flash Thunderhawk into pieces, as he started on his grilling work again.
The gathered Heavenly Prides eyed the grilled meat with longing, but ultimately, they couldn't bring themselves to lower their pride to ask for a bite.
To act and steal would be a waste of True Qi and energy, potentially affecting the upcoming battle for the Five Thunder Fruits.
Lei Wanjun had already stated when he arrived that he only wanted the Purple Thunder Fruit, White Thunder Fruit, and Black Thunder Fruit; the remaining Red Thunder Fruit and Blue Thunder Fruit were for others to compete for by their means.
As long as Lei Wanjun didn't interfere, these peak Martial Venerates had a good chance of obtaining a Thunder Fruit, so nobody wanted to waste their True Qi for nothing.
Moreover, for something like grilled meat, which had little utility for them, it was even less warranted.

However, Chu Xin and the others were far from quiet in their enjoyment of the meat, occasionally letting out exclamations of astonishment.
Especially that bow-wielding youth, whose smacking sounds while eating were particularly loud, preventing the Heavenly Prides from settling down to recuperate, casting angry glances at him one after another.
But that bow-wielder didn't care in the slightest, going about his business with even more gusto, deliberately amplifying the smacking sounds.
Chu Chen looked up at him, his little brow deeply furrowed beneath the dragon-shaped mask, reminding him, "Daddy says that smacking when eating is very impolite."
"What does your daddy say have anything to do with me?" the bow-wielding youth rolled his eyes.
"Continue like this, and I'll hit you."
Chu Chen brandished his chubby little fist.
The bow-wielding youth shrank his neck, remembering that this seemingly harmless child was a terrifying presence capable of soundly beating a young Martial Saint.
Long Shaoyu looked up and glared at him, scolding, "Get lost to the side, don't embarrass me."
"Oh!"
The bow-wielding youth, holding his grilled meat, walked away, muttering softly as he went, "I don't normally eat like this either, but this grilled meat is so delicious, I couldn't help it."
"I agree with that."
The square-faced youth said unclearly, nodding as he continued to eat his meat.
Only Chu Xin hadn't said a word from beginning to end, her little head nearly buried into the huge tiger paw.
Chu Chen's eyes showed satisfaction. Then, gnawing on his grilled meat, he approached the large pot, added "dishwater" to rinse it out, then poured in Water of Purification and Sword Pond Water to boil. He cut the congealed blood of the Red Flash Thunderhawk into chunks and added them to the pot.
Following a Secret Technique imparted by his soul, he manipulated the Sword Milk Stone to absorb Stone Milk and transform it into a drop of Divine Sword Milk, dripping it into the pot.
Instantly, a mighty Sword Intent, an immense Sword Energy, and dense clusters of red lightning burst forth in the pot.
The previously meditating Heavenly Prides abruptly stood up and turned their heads in unison, their faces filled with shock.
That brat was actually cooking soup with Divine Sword Milk?
