Chapter 378: Chapter 172: Petty Tricks, Daring to Show Off in the Expert’s Door!_3

Before White Blowfish and Song Huizhi had almost no interaction, even if they walked together, it was like strangers passing by accidentally, so they felt that Lin Baici had not yet realized that the two of them knew each other.

Song Huizhi didn’t move, because she thought White Blowfish’s chances of survival were slim.

As for killing Lin Baici,

she believed she could do it alone, and at any time.

"Fuck!"

White Blowfish wanted to blurt out Song Huizhi’s name, to force her into the fight, but the words didn’t make it out of his mouth as he dared not shout.

He was worried it would backfire and lead Song Huizhi to decide on killing him and making peace with Lin Baici!

If that happened, his family would be doomed.

White Blowfish ran out of opportunities, entangled by Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, he couldn’t get close to Black Cat; as the spots spread over more of his body, his movements quickly became stiff, and his combat ability sharply declined.

Bang!

Xia Hongyao kicked White Blowfish away.

As White Blowfish was sent flying, tumbling to the ground, he could not get up again.

He had been petrified.

He had become one of the cat statues.

"Why did it take him so long to turn into a statue?"

Cai Wenqi couldn’t understand and was worried and scared, for the man seemed fierce.

"Because he is a God Hunter!"

Hua Yue Yu surveyed the people— who were his comrades?

Gu Qingqiu nodded.

It was an obvious answer; God Hunters had better bodies, so their resistance to petrification was much stronger.

Song Huizhi watched all this dispassionately. If not for Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao meddling, White Blowfish might have been able to kill the Black Cat.

But that would mean losing a taboo thing.

I’ll wait a bit longer. Maybe this Lin Baici can subdue it—then I can kill him and snatch the treasure all at once!

With the crisis averted, Black Cat leaped onto the head of one of the cat statues.

"Meow!"

Black Cat roared in anger, "How dare you attack me, I will turn you all into statues, all of you! Answer my question, would you like to become statues, to become my slaves?"

"It was him who wanted to kill you, not us!"

Cai Wenqi argued.

"Exactly, and Lin Bai and Sister Yao saved you!"

Hua Yue Yu was frustrated.

"Shut up, I don’t want to listen; I just want you all dead!"

Black Cat screeched, "Quick, answer my ques...meow!"

Black Cat didn’t finish its speech and turned into a frightened, panicked ’meow’.

"What the hell is going on?"

"What’s this now?"

"Who is this imposing woman?"

Everyone was shocked, panicked, and scared to death.

Song Huizhi’s pupils suddenly contracted.

An imposing woman, nearly two meters tall with a build like a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist, appeared behind one of the cat statues; she grabbed the Black Cat by the scruff and lifted it up.

This woman was dressed in a washed, clean coarse linen gown with an apron tied around it, and a square white kerchief wrapped around her head.

"Where’s my porridge?"

The kitchen maid turned around on the spot, her expression furious, "Where’s my huge pot of porridge gone to?"

The onlookers saw that as the woman turned around, the back of her apron tied around her waist, a kitchen knife was tucked away.

"It’s that kitchen maid!"

Hua Yue Yu cried out in alarm.

Her impression of this boisterous voice, more ferocious than Liangshan’s Sun Erniang, was too profound, especially since back at Dragon Temple’s Xiang Ji Kitchen, everyone had tasted the porridge she had cooked.

The porridge was delicious, but the cook was truly ruthless.

If a guest couldn’t taste the ingredients in the porridge, this cook would beat them to death and throw them into the stove to burn like kindling.

"Did Lin Baici summon this?"

Gu Qingqiu asked curiously, "Is this also a Taboo thing?"

Xia Hongyao looked towards Lin Baici, waiting for an explanation.

"It should be dealt with now!"

Lin Baici said with a slight smile.

Eater God was right, it worked just like the food chain, one thing suppresses another, and once the Black Cat was grabbed by the cook, it lost its vigor.

Its two paws clutching its head, neck tucked in, it looked like a down-on-his-luck thief caught stealing dried fish.

"Who stole my Buddha’s Delight Porridge?"

The cook roared, lifting the Black Cat and ready to smash it to the ground.

"Wait!"

Lin Baici shouted.

The cook looked over, "Is it you?"

The cook still remembered Lin Baici.

"Calm yourself, I will help you find your pot as soon as possible!"

After hearing Eater God’s commentary, Lin Baici thought of how the Black Tripod Bowl’s rule pollution, once activated, would create a Xiang Ji Kitchen.

The porridge-cooking cook might have a method to deal with this Black Cat.

So he poured Divine Power into the Black Tripod Bowl, activating it.

This time, if it came to tasting porridge, even without Eater God’s commentary, Lin Baici was confident he could pass because the Divine Grace Activation of the ’Field of Liquor and Meat’ increased his ability to appreciate fine food and drinks, enabling him to taste the optimal flavor of a dish and understand the chef’s mindset behind it.

With ’A Sip of A Hundred Flavors’ added to that, Lin Baici felt he should not fail due to such rule pollution; however, he didn’t anticipate the absence of Xiang Ji Kitchen, only the cook appeared.

"Could it be because this is a Divine Ruins caused by a God, the rule pollution of the Black Tripod Bowl was suppressed?"

Lin Baici speculated.

"All right, make it quick!"

The cook urged, then looked at the Black Cat in her hand, "What are you going to do with this little fellow?"

"Leave it in the Xiang Ji Kitchen to catch mice!"

Lin Baici suggested.

"Sounds good!"

The cook nodded and then her body gradually turned into a shadow and disappeared.

The Black Cat vanished as well.

Everyone looked at Lin Baici, feeling restless and tense, "Is it over?"

Lin Baici did not respond to them, but immediately rushed to the altar because the Gold Balance had reappeared, and he quickly seized it in his hands.

"This kid is loaded with Taboo things!"

Song Huizhi’s eyes narrowed, thinking that if she killed him, she’d hit the jackpot at once.

But now was not the time to make a move; it was better to wait until they left the Divine Ruins.

Song Huizhi also sensed that something was off. Without the impact of a meteorite falling, she felt that they might have encountered a God spoken of in legends this time.

So keeping Lin Baici alive was critical; with him around, there was a greater chance of breaking through the Divine Ruins.

Unbeknownst to Lin Baici, his performance along the way had won over Song Huizhi.

[Cat God Balance: Once rule pollution is triggered, it asks random questions. Answer incorrectly, and you will become a Cat Statue.]

[Yeah, wow, there’s Divine Grace on this, hurry up and feast!]

Eater God urged.
