Chapter 783: Chapter 379 Old Friend Mutou_1

Although the Black Mirror is powerful, it has its weaknesses. The dark incarnations within the Black Mirror are all transformations of the darkness from their "kill three corpses" act. Ultimately, they are not their complete selves, so they are innately deficient and cannot be mentioned in the same breath as their true forms.

What’s more, over the years, the true forms have been advancing at full speed, while the dark incarnations need time to grow into the strength at the time they were severed. This creates a gap in strength, which is further widened by the innate differences.

The longer the time, the greater the disparity.

The truly terrifying aspect of the Black Mirror is that the dark incarnations can be reborn an unlimited number of times! As long as the Black Mirror remains unbroken, given time, no matter how many times the dark incarnations die, they can be reborn with sufficient time."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou smacked his lips and said, "If that’s the case, the Black Mirror should be unable to defeat us. Where did they get the courage to attack?"

The Kitchen God shook his head and said, "That’s precisely the point of contention. The Overlords are confident in taking on the Black Mirror alone, but some are worried that the Black Mirror has come prepared. After all, the Black Mirror is very familiar with us, while we know very little about them.

From the Saints’ side, only one sentence was conveyed: ’All under Heaven, divide and rule.’

The specifics are still undecided..."

Qin Shou nodded, not wanting to involve himself in the affairs of the higher-ups.

Moreover, Qin Shou admitted to himself that he really wasn’t qualified to inquire.

Having made it back from the depths of space to bring the news was already him doing his best.

What he needed to do now was to enhance his strength.

Still, Qin Shou couldn’t help but ask, "How’s the battle situation?"

The Kitchen God replied, "Right now, it’s all minor skirmishes. We have calculated and located a total of eighteen Black Mirror entry and exit points, and so far it’s only minor frictions, without any Emperor level battles breaking out.

However, the small rifts are becoming more numerous. Those slipping through the cracks are difficult to detect, and with demon cultivators colluding with them, it’s even harder to deal with.

In short, the entire Immortal Realm and the Earthly Immortal Realm are in chaos.

Your strength isn’t bad, but you still need to be cautious.

After all, no one can be sure what kind of thing might emerge from those rifts."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou frowned, truly becoming worried...

Then Qin Shou started fidgeting in his seat, wanting to leave but feeling embarrassed to do so. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen his master, and it wouldn’t be good to just leave upon arriving.

Seeing this, the Kitchen God scoffed and said, "All right, get lost. Go do whatever you need to do."

Qin Shou chuckled and said, "Master, it’s not that I want to go, you’re the one telling me to. Anyway, I’m off then..."

Having said that, Qin Shou got up and ran off, as fast as a streak of white light.

The Kitchen God shook his head slightly and called out, "Wait a moment!"

Qin Shou turned around, looking puzzled and asked, "What’s up?"

The Kitchen God waved his hand, and threw a Xumi Bag over, saying, "Over the years, I’ve made some food. Business hasn’t been good, and it would be a pity to throw it away, so I’m giving it to you at a bargain."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou felt warmth in his heart.

Food personally made by the Kitchen God, would it be unsellable?

Clearly, that’s impossible!

And Qin Shou was well aware that although the Kitchen God enjoyed cooking, he rarely sold what he made.

On the rare occasions he did, they were definitely exorbitantly priced!

Now, would such food remain unsold?

It was obviously food the Kitchen God had intentionally prepared for Qin Shou.

Qin Shou respectfully received the Xumi Bag with both hands and said, "Thank you, master, for the trouble."

The Kitchen God rolled his eyes, sidestepped, and with a light kick to Qin Shou’s butt, he laughed and scolded, "Cut the formality, I’m not used to it. Now off you go!"

Qin Shou chuckled, wiped the tears hanging at the corner of his eyes, and scampered out.

Once outside, Qin Shou opened the Xumi Bag to take a look, and in that instant, a tremendous surge of Yuan Qi burst forth!

Qin Shou only took a whiff and felt every cell in his body boiling!

Qin Shou looked closely and gasped in amazement—the Xumi Bag was actually packed full of exotic delicacies from all over the world! And these were not just any ordinary delicacies in pursuit of ultimate flavor; they were medicinal meals!

Purely tonic medicinal meals!

Others may not know, but Qin Shou was well aware that the dishes the Kitchen God was famous for weren’t actually what he was best at.

The Kitchen God’s true specialty, his forte, was medicinal meals!

His medicinal meals were known as god pills without the bitterness!

In other words, his medicinal meals were on par with actual pills, complete with color, aroma, and taste!

Of course, as medicinal meals, the ingredients used were extremely scarce, so mass production was simply out of the question. Qin Shou reckoned that the contents of this Xumi Bag might be all of the Kitchen God’s private stock.

He sighed, turned around, and bowed once more to the dog meat restaurant, unsure of how to repay the Kitchen God. Although the Kitchen God had never taught Qin Shou any supreme magic, he had provided Qin Shou with incredible warmth and care. To Qin Shou, these things were even more important than any magic.

After collecting the items, Qin Shou thought for a moment and then headed straight to Shushan.

Arriving at Shushan, he came to the familiar Wenqu Palace and, to his surprise, heard a stuttering reading voice coming from inside!

Qin Shou was too familiar with this voice; he couldn’t help but laugh the moment he heard it.

But the next moment, an enormously thick tree root burst through the ground, whipping at Qin Shou like a super-powered whip with a loud thwack!

Qin Shou stamped his foot and didn’t bother to block, letting the tree root whip him!

His feet were like two solid iron stakes, not budging an inch!

The tree root, on the other hand, exploded into a cloud of dust!

Just then, the surrounding vegetation seemed to come alive, waving their branches wildly as their roots instantly sealed off Wenqu Palace’s gates!

Soon after, a stuttering voice rang out: "Bunny-kiss..."

Qin Shou scratched his head, momentarily not understanding, so he asked, "Mutou, what are you saying?"

In the next moment, the trees in front of him shrank back instantly, and the gates of Wenqu Palace reappeared before Qin Shou’s eyes.

Then Qin Shou saw a little boy with a big head stumbling out of Wenqu Palace, his face flushed with obvious excitement.

He ran towards Qin Shou while smiling foolishly, stuttering, "Bunny bunny bunny bunny... "

Watching Mutou, overjoyed and happy, stumbling along, Qin Shou’s heart filled with immense warmth and joy.

Wenqu Palace, though Qin Shou hadn’t spent much time there, held profound feelings for him.

The seemingly stodgy but inwardly very open, even somewhat closeted Wenqu Star Monarch;

The dull-witted Mutou;

The adorable little Fire Chicken;

The naive Li Zhenying;

The insouciant Chongba;

The trio of fools who monopolized all the comedic moments;

And many more were all beautiful memories.

Back then, Qin Shou had felt that such a life was too boring; he wanted something better, and more interesting, always restless and dissatisfied.

But a few years later, Qin Shou found himself truly missing those peaceful and silly days of horsing around.
