Chapter 103: Shadow: Don't Come Any Closer!

Chapter 103: Shadow: Don't Come Any Closer!

"My dear Lady Raiden Shogun, may I ask what this thing is?"

Looking at the pitch-black, smoke-emitting object on the table, Kong shuddered slightly and asked with a bit of a tremble in his voice.

He was already a powerful Soul Saint. Eating this thing shouldn't kill him, right?

Besides, he was immune to all poisons. Even in that sort of situation, he had a strong backbone, completely unafraid of the proverbial knife hanging over his head!

"Stir-fried Kun Eggs with Tomatoes."

Raiden Shogun blinked her beautiful eyes, somewhat puzzled. Kong was such a clever person; why couldn't he see that?

Kong: "..."

The difference between this and carbon is that it can't burn. How could he possibly tell the difference?

Glancing at Raiden Shogun, Kong's mind was filled with the phrase, "Darling, wake up and drink your medicine!"

Could it be that Lady Raiden Shogun was suddenly inspired to commit husbandicide?

Kong swallowed hard, recalling if he had done anything recently to upset Lady Raiden Shogun. Upon careful consideration, it seemed like there wasn't anything.

He, Kong, the epitome of a good man, aside from being a bit of a flirt, hadn't done anything wrong.

Flirtatious? Not quite! He just wanted to give both of his dear wives a home. How could that be considered flirting?

Looking closely, there were indeed Kun eggshells in the dish. Yes, eggshells...

Without a second thought, Kong realized that Raiden Shogun must have tossed the Kun eggs directly into the pot while cooking.

As for the tomatoes, this lump... no, this blackened mass was likely once a whole tomato!

Raiden Shogun's knife skills were unparalleled. Why didn't she slice the tomato?

Hmm...

Kong fell into deep thought.

After a while, Kong finally smiled, wrapped his arm around Raiden Shogun's waist, and pulled her into a close embrace.

Raiden Shogun was taken aback, but she didn't resist, cooperating completely. She didn't know what Kong was up to, but since returning to the Pure Land, she had plenty of stories to share with Ei.

"Thank you, my dear wife, for your kindness."

Kong smiled and subtly pushed the carbon... no, the stir-fried Kun eggs with tomatoes to the side.

Then, still holding Raiden Shogun, he led her to the kitchen.

"My dear, you worked so hard to cook for me, I should repay the favor."

Kong spoke calmly, without a hint of embarrassment.

To "deceive" Raiden Shogun, one must first deceive oneself. The current Raiden Shogun was his Martial Soul. Some things, even Ei didn't know, but she did.

The Martial Soul and its host shared a bond of life and mind; anything Kong thought, as long as Raiden Shogun wished, she could know.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Raiden Shogun had developed human emotions.

Hearing Kong's words, a trace of emotion flickered in Raiden Shogun's usually dull eyes. Kong actually understood how hard it was for her to make this stir-fried Kun eggs with tomatoes.

She had failed twenty-one times. This twenty-second attempt, due to the ingredients and other factors, was the only one she dared to present to Kong to taste her cooking skills.

She didn't even know where she had heard it, but she'd learned that to win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach.

She wasn't sure if what she was doing was right or wrong.

Kong: "..."

If I hadn't realized I hadn't offended you, I'd seriously suspect you were trying to kill me!

"I, I don't actually need to eat."

Raiden Shogun's lips curled up slightly. Was this what humans called happiness?

It seemed that being with Kong really did make her feel happy.

"That's not acceptable."

Kong quickly shook his head. If he didn't soothe Lady Raiden Shogun and she insisted on him eating what she considered food but was actually carbon, what would he do? Thinking about this, Kong felt a bit dazed; this love was truly profound!

"How about I make you your favorite colorful dumplings and milk tea?"

"Okay."

Raiden Shogun nodded. Colorful dumplings and that milk tea were both delicious, especially since they were made by Kong himself.

If eating sweets caused her teeth to go bad, she could always ask Ei to replace them.

Kong busied himself in the kitchen for a while before finally finishing the colorful dumplings and milk tea.

Since they were in a hotel, it naturally had a kitchen.

The first time Kong borrowed the kitchen, the head chef was somewhat reluctant. The kitchen was a sacred space; not just anyone could enter, right?

It wasn't about Gold Soul Coins; it was a matter of principle.

After much persuasion, the head chef finally agreed to let Kong use the kitchen. After witnessing Kong's culinary skills, the chef was stunned.

On the Douluo Continent, there weren't many culinary styles; it was mostly buns, steamed bread, bread, and milk. The methods for preparing meat were also simple—either frying or roasting.

Dishes like braised pork and twice-cooked pork that Kong made—forget seeing them, the chef had never even heard of them!

All he knew was that they tasted absolutely amazing!

From that moment on, Kong could enter the kitchen anytime he wanted.

After handing the colorful dumplings and milk tea to Raiden Shogun, she took the items and disappeared.

Kong: "???"

Ei: "!!!"

Don't come any closer!

"My lord, I didn't expect your wife to be such a powerful Soul Master. I'm 68 years old, a level 32 Food System Soul Elder, and I couldn't even see how she disappeared!"

The chef marveled. He was a strong Soul Elder of the Food System, but his dream wasn't to be a Soul Master; it was to cook!

Kong: "..."

Lady Raiden Shogun, she is indeed powerful, but she's not a Soul Master!

Kong felt quite sad. He might be the only Soul Master who couldn't defeat his own Martial Soul.

"The Shogun is indeed very powerful."

Kong nodded, then left the kitchen. He returned to the table and stored the meal Raiden Shogun had prepared into a storage soul tool.

After all, it was a gesture from his dear wife; how could he waste it?

Of course, eating it was out of the question—he still wanted to live a few more years.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang was counseling Tang San.

It was one thing to lose at the Academy, but Tang San had also lost at the Great Spirit Arena in Soto City.

"Xiao San, what's been going on with you lately? You seem so distracted."

Yu Xiaogang didn't blame Tang San for the loss; instead, he asked about Tang San's concerns. It must be said, Yu Xiaogang was a good teacher to Tang San.

Hearing this, Tang San was slightly taken aback. After organizing his thoughts, he finally said, "Teacher, I'm... I'm a bit worried about my father."

"My father is a Titled Douluo-level expert, but since the battle in the Star Dou Forest, there has been no news from him. Why won't he come out and see me?"

Tang San spoke with a hint of melancholy.

Tang Hao had disappeared over six years ago, but he hadn't gone far. He was likely hiding, fearing that Xiao Wu would run away if she discovered his true identity.

Tang San didn't blame Tang Hao, because if he were in his father's shoes, he would do the same.

But why, even after Xiao Wu ran away, did Tang Hao still refuse to come out and see Tang San?
