Demon hunter’s Cooking Manual
Chapter 1309 - 41: Bodyguard! _2

He came here with just a try-it-and-see attitude.

At this moment!

"Am I going to be rejected?"

"Alas."

Xu Dashan had prepared for the worst.

Then, he heard—

"I guess I am a Guest Elder of Red Fragrance Alley?"

Jason asked.

Xu Dashan was stunned, then overjoyed.

"Master Mu, you agreed?"

Xu Dashan started to stammer in his speech.

"Yes."

Jason nodded his head.

It's not about sympathy or some kind of justice in his heart.

It's simply a promise.

He is a Guest Elder of Red Fragrance Alley, receives a yearly salary, and has exchanged quite a batch of 'Nourishing Essence Pills' from Red Fragrance Alley. Under the premise that Red Fragrance Alley hasn't tricked him, he naturally wants to keep his promise.

It's absolutely not because Red Fragrance Alley once said that Guest Elders get additional rewards for each mission.

Nor is it because he smelled an enticing scent on Xu Dashan that rivals the taste of 'Unusual Destiny Pill.'

It has nothing to do with these.

He just wants to keep promises.

"I'm extremely grateful!"

Xu Dashan formally cupped his hand towards Jason.

He had been prepared for rejection.

After all, he had been refused several times before.

However, he didn't expect Master Mu to actually agree.

He wasn't worried about being deceived by Master Mu.

Not to mention, judging from Master Mu's actions, the other party absolutely seemed not to be a deceitful sort.

Just today's incident spreading out, the other party would completely lose the place in the martial arts world.

Thinking of this, Xu Dashan hesitated no more.

"Master Mu, please accept it."

"This is the reward for this time—"

"'Small Creation Pill.'

Saying this, Xu Dashan took out a small box and handed it to Jason. After Jason accepted it, this veteran owner of Red Fragrance Alley thoroughly sighed in relief.

Taking the reward meant never changing one's mind.

With a master of 'Skin Training' level as an escort, as long as the setup is clever enough, they could indeed reach Fragrance City.

"Master Mu, although this 'Small Creation Pill' isn't as good as the true 'Creation Pill,' it's remarkably efficacious. Once you consume it, your strength will surely improve——Rest assured, we have three days to prepare."

Xu Dashan advised.

"Three days?"

Dou Bao looked puzzled; shouldn't such matters be done quickly?

If delayed, it will give enemies more time to prepare.

"Because the lady's maid is willing to pretend to be the lady and leave from the dock by waterway to draw attention away for us, three days later we'll depart by land, not meeting at the martial arts hall, but 30 miles outside the city. By then, I hope Master Mu will use the pretense of returning home to honor ancestors to get out of the city."

"Meanwhile, when the maid departs, I will send another team out."

"One day later, I will send another team out."

"The truth alongside the falsehood should be able to fool most people."

Xu Dashan didn't conceal his plan.

Mu Bai has already achieved fame in this 'Mountain City,' and returning home to honor ancestors at this time is truly reasonable, and especially by pushing the time three days later, it will dispel most suspicions.

"Alright."

Jason nodded once more.

Xu Dashan didn't stay long. He left taking advantage of the night.

After Xu Dashan left, Dou Bao seemed a bit dazed.

"What's the matter?"

Jason asked.

"Well, can the Master take me along?"

Dou Bao asked with a hint of pleading.

At this moment, she knew her request was excessive.

Already extremely urgent, and yet trying to bring along this baggage, it's simply adding to the difficulty.

She really shouldn't be making such a request.

But she didn't want to be separated from Jason.

She didn't want Jason to take risks alone.

Moreover, inside Dou Bao's heart was already the thought of secretly following even if her master didn't agree.

"Of course, you should come along."

Jason affirmed confidently.

What's the point of not bringing along a chef?

And faced with Jason's firm reply, Dou Bao, anxious moments ago, suddenly blushed.

"So the Master thinks like me, reluctant to separate, huh."

"Are we ready to get married now?"

"But we must have parents present, right?"

'Where can I find them?'

'But even if mom and dad aren't here, I can still get married, right?'

'I've found my happiness; even if they find out last, they'll definitely bless me.'

Thinking about it, Dou Bao's face started to blush.

"I'll go make some supper!"

Dou Bao said this and then ran to the kitchen, covering her face.

Jason, while eagerly anticipating the supper, opened a palm-sized box and cracked the wax seal of the 'Little Creation Pill.'

Inside was a golden pill the size of a soybean.

An enticing fragrance wafted out.

Jason tossed it straight into his mouth.

A fresh sweetness quickly spread, a bit like sugarcane juice, but with a hint of pear juice.

Absolutely delicious.

[Consumed Little Creation Pill (Excellent)]

[Physical strength, energy, injury recovery exceeded!]

[Satiety +450]

[Satiety: 4891]

[Excitement of Feast +4]

[Excitement of Feast: 127]

[Constitution +0.3]

...

Just as Jason had guessed, the 'Little Creation Pill,' like the 'Impermanence Pill,' is a major medicine.

Moreover, it's even better than the 'Impermanence Pill.'

This could be seen from the increased numbers in satiety and Excitement of Feast.

Especially the constitution, upon increasing by 0.3 again, Jason's constitution reached a level of 11.1.

"If the efficacy doesn't diminish, the medicine path is the most suitable for me."

Jason couldn't help but think.

But he knew well, this was just wishful thinking.

Medicine has its limits.

If you take too much of the same medicine, resistance will develop inevitably.

The reason he could increase the same attribute value consecutively from taking two large doses is not only because of his unique talent but also because the 'Little Creation Pill' has a superior effect compared to the 'Impermanence Pill.'

If he took the same 'Impermanence Pill,' the effect certainly wouldn't be as good as before.

However—

"Since there's a 'Little Creation Pill,' naturally there must be a 'Creation Pill'. "

"The 'Little Creation Pill' is already at a major medicine level."

"What level is the 'Creation Pill'? And what does it taste like?"

Jason sat in the chair, swallowing hard.

It wasn't until Dou Bao called him for supper that he snapped out of his thoughts.

Supper was porridge, stewed with shrimp and crab, with some ribs added by Dou Bao.

After serving herself a bowl, she carried the pot to Jason.

Ever since her 'muscles' were perfected and she began 'Bone Tempering,' Dou Bao's strength increased dramatically. Carrying a hundred-pound pot of porridge became easy.

However, Dou Bao didn't feel proud because of this.

On the contrary, she continuously researched what her mom and dad left for her.

'I need to make some finished products quickly.'

Recently, with her increased power, Dou Bao has become even more energetic, needing only a short amount of sleep to be fully refreshed and productive. Under this premise, the time Dou Bao spends researching her parents' leftovers naturally increased.

Although she still hasn't figured out the construction principles of the big-headed small-bodied humanoid puppet, she gained some insights into the so-called 'hand grenades' and 'Shark Mouth Cannon.'

Moreover, she even made innovations.

She integrated some poisons her mother developed into them.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Gunpowder isn't the only option.

Neither is poison.

What's wrong with combining the two?

"Master, you should get some rest early. Let me know what you want to eat for the next three days. Once we leave the city, we'll be roughing it outdoors."

Dou Bao reminded Jason while washing the dishes and chopsticks.

"Alright."

Jason nodded and turned to go back to his room.

Then, when Dou Bao wasn't watching, he slipped out.

Jason headed straight to Red Fragrance Alley.

It's essential to be cautious and guard against others.

After living in the Nightless City for so long, Jason naturally understood this truth.

Now, he was putting this knowledge into practice.

He wanted to see if Xu Dashan had deceived him.

If not, everything would remain the same.

If he did...

Jason couldn't help but touch the ice ball mask hidden on his body.

However, as soon as Jason entered Red Fragrance Alley, he couldn't help but twitch his nose.

The next moment, he showed an incredulous expression.
