With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

As everyone took their seats at the table, Najendan coughed lightly before looking seriously at Yang Li, who was standing under everyone's gaze.

Yang Li remained calm and composed, her face expressionless, as if nothing could surprise her. At that moment, everyone felt a sense of admiration for her.

In reality, there was nothing to be afraid of. Yang Li didn't think he would be attacked by a group of enemies in the next moment, and the goodwill shown by the other party was genuine.

For Night Raid, with no contractors yet infiltrating as official members, a force capable of confronting Imperial General Bud is extremely important.

"This person is named Jin Muyan. She is a talent we just discovered in the capital... When we first learned of her, she severely injured the Imperial General, Bude, at the cost of her own immobility!"

The sudden and shocking news left everyone except for a few who already knew and the naturally naive person who could remain calm no matter what happened; everyone else was incredulous.

Who is Bud?

That is one of the two pillars of the ancient capital, nominally able to stand on equal footing with the demon Esdeath, and in reality the second strongest in the world!

Being able to fight Bud means that Yang Li has the ability to solo Night Raid. Of course, the more common outcome is that after killing a few people, she dies from the combined attack of the Night Raid members.

After all, there are quite a few things inside that could pose a threat to Yang Li, such as a certain demonic sword that could kill with a single blow. Yang Li is not confident that she can withstand it head-on, even though she currently has a portion of the dragon blood sealed within her body.

"How...how is this possible?"

The one who raised such a question was 'pink-haired twin-tailed flat-chested loli' Mine. To her, Bud was an insurmountable mountain, after all, he was the renowned guardian of the empire.

She had never heard of anyone who could severely injure Bud after paying a price...

“Nothing is impossible. Ever since Esdeath took one of my eyes and my arm… I’ve known that the limits of Teigu users are far beyond what people imagine.”

"Please introduce yourself first, so that everyone can get to know you better and you can integrate into our group more easily."

Yang Li did not refuse Najendan's suggestion. She had already thought about this matter and had no problem with the wording.

However, it is quite obvious that Najenda does not fully trust her yet, after all, she is a newcomer who suddenly appeared, and her strength and reputation do not match at all.

With one hand gently resting on the hilt of the knife, Yang Li looked intently at Najendan.

"My name is Kaneki Yan. I was born in the eastern part of the continent and am not a citizen of the Empire. I received detailed assassin training in my early years and possess the multi-form Imperial Arms [Blood Thousand Transformations: Shadow of Slaughter]. Due to the collapse of the country, I began to wander the continent."

He fabricated some past experiences, a story that blended his past as an assassin with reality, making it feel very real to the audience in Night Raid.

Finally, Yang Li uttered words that left everyone present speechless, causing them to stand up in surprise.

Although everyone is surprised by different things...

“Recently, I came to the Empire and had a chance encounter with Kurohime, a member of the Empire’s assassination squad. We became friends and traveled together... Later, because she wanted to return to the dark and corrupt Empire, I, who did not want to join the Empire’s camp, chose to part ways with her.”

"As for why I have some seemingly inhuman features... it's because I'm not purely human, but a hybrid of human and dragon."

Her captivating black pupils transformed into a dazzling gold, their inner core becoming the vertical pupils of a dragon, leaving Najenda, who knew certain secrets, utterly shocked.

A religious force called the Way of Tranquility, whose leader is hailed as an incarnation of a god and capable of foreseeing the future and healing injuries, is a hybrid of a human and a dangerous species.

The naturally ditzy Hill reacted the least, while Lubbock was completely bewildered and shocked, his brain seemingly frozen.

Brand remained relatively calm, but his eyes betrayed considerable surprise; after all, the idea of ​​a human-dragon hybrid sounded incredibly fantastical. Indeed, it was quite fantastical; the way hybrids were born in the dragon world was truly horrifying.

As far as Yang Li knew, it seemed that humans coveted the dragon race's alchemy and the power of words, so they forced the dragons to mate with human women, and the powerful individual born was born at the cost of the mother's death.

Mine also reacted strongly because, being of mixed race, she had suffered oppression and bullying since childhood.

Her pink eyes and hair are symbols of her mixed heritage as a member of a foreign race and an empire. She deeply understands what it is like to be disliked by both races.

Aside from Najenda, Akame, who is usually very calm, reacted the most, as a certain name caused her calm state of mind to instantly spiral out of control.

The situation of the sisters Akame and Kurome is very strange. They care about each other, but at the same time, they want each other to die. Yang Li is completely helpless about their relationship.

"Kuro-touch, you've seen Kurohime before..."

"Akame, calm down!"

"Phew! Sorry, Boss, I lost control."

Awakened by Najenda's gentle shout, Akame, who had regained her composure, had dim eyes and dutifully admitted her mistake.

Looking at Akame's expression, as if she had been abandoned by the world, Yang Li suddenly blurted out a sentence for some reason.

"As for Kurohime, she's doing very well now. I've already resolved her health issues using a 'special' method."

"Huh?"

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Akame, Yang Li pondered for a moment and then said this to Najenda.

"Boss, as a new member of Night Raid, I actually want to recommend a friend to you. His name is Black Eye. In his early years, he suffered severe physical exhaustion due to potential development carried out by the Empire, and he also underwent extremely mentally devastating drug development and control experiments."

“I previously used my unique alchemical microorganisms to help Black Eyes resolve her physical and drug addiction issues. If it were now, we would have a very high chance of luring her into the Night Raid.”

Yang Li's confident voice made Najenda ponder for a moment. She naturally knew about the girl with black eyes, and she had to know about this character just because of her connection with Akame.

Originally, they were definitely on opposite sides, but now this outstanding Teigu user has the potential to be won over, and to be honest, she is somewhat tempted.

Staring at Yang Li in disbelief, the darkness in Chi Tong's eyes was completely dispelled...

PS: 1. I'm exhausted, it looks like I can only update twice today... To be honest, I'm also feeling terrible. I have absolutely no drafts saved up, and although I have a lot of ideas in my head, I can't write them down. (This chapter is about 2500 words, please bear with it.)

2. I'll try to update more tomorrow, depending on the situation, since I seem to have more time tomorrow... There are so many things going on at my school, it's incredibly annoying, and I don't know if there will suddenly be some kind of 'political study session' tomorrow.

3. Last but not least, I absolutely rave about Kurome! *prprprprprpr*

Chapter 245, Section 251: Conquering the Stomachs of the Night Raid with Culinary Skills

Chapter 245: Conquering the Stomachs of the Night Raid with Culinary Skills

This chapter is also known as: 1. Chinese Cuisine is the Best in the World

2. A Night Raid on the Tip of the Tongue

"Well, let's talk about the rest when we have time. By the way, it's Akame's turn to be in charge of the meals today."

"Yes, Boss, I'll go now."

It's impossible to directly agree to let Kuroko join, after all, Kuroko's reputation is notorious within the Revolutionary Army, and Yang Li hasn't gained her complete trust yet.

It was getting late, and feeling a bit hungry, Najenda changed the subject, and Akame obediently stood up.

Just as Akame was about to head towards the kitchen, Yang Li made a suggestion that surprised everyone.

"Wait a minute, BOSS, let me cook today. It's a good opportunity for me to make a good impression as a newcomer."

"You can cook? You're supposed to be an assassin..."

It was Mine who raised the question, since Yang Li was currently in the 'Shude Mai' card state, and clearly did not have the feeling of a gentle and virtuous girl. On the contrary, her sharp aura was slightly frightening.

Feeling a little embarrassed by Mine's 'questioning', Yang Li tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"I can indeed cook, after all, it's one of my few hobbies, but I need someone to help me."

"Hmm~ In that case, I'll leave breakfast to you, Yan. Akame, you can go help out. The rest of you can leave."

After Najendan gave this order, everyone scattered and left, each with the thought of just making do for the day.

After all, with Yang Li's impressive track record, no one could imagine that such a tough woman could make good food.

Although they don't usually eat very well, Akame, the only one who is good at cooking, makes all-meat meals every day...

He's the type of person who eats greasy food all day long, regardless of whether it's breakfast or dinner, to an alarming degree. That's why Brand has to exercise actively to burn calories. Of course, Brand also enjoys exercising.

Standing in front of the stove in the kitchen, Yang Li looked at the table full of unidentified meat ingredients in silence. Fortunately, she had stocked up on the ingredients in her 'savings backpack' beforehand.

Take out the necessary ingredients and process them accordingly. In no time, the countertop is covered with eggs, tomatoes, green vegetables, mushrooms, pork tenderloin, chicken wings, sugary drinks, beef, tofu pudding, and more.

Holding the spatial Imperial Arms [Dimensional Array: Shangri-La] in her hand, Akame believed that all the ingredients Yang Li took out were taken from this Imperial Arms.

Although there is a saying that a Teigu user cannot use two Teigu at the same time, it might be possible if they switch between them, since no one has ever tried it before.

Yang Li piled the various unknown dangerous species of meat aside, took out a top-quality white cleaver (?) with a rating of at least ten points, and began the second step of food processing.

Yang Li picked up a few eggs at random, squeezed one side open with a little force, and after taking out the egg white and yolk, the eggshells flew lightly into the trash can next to her.

Holding a pair of chopsticks (chopsticks did indeed appear in the comics), Yang Li poured salt and seasonings into the egg mixture, and also poured some cooking oil into the pan.

Yang Li had several jugs of cooking oil from that scarlet treasure chest, along with all sorts of other things, making him look like a wholesaler of daily necessities...

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Frying eggs is an easy task for Yang Li, after all, her current control is far beyond that of an ordinary person.

As the eggs were gradually fried until golden brown on both sides, Yang Li removed them from the pan and set them aside. Then, she added chopped tomatoes, scallions, and other ingredients to the pan to extract the juice.

A moment later, a large amount of tomatoes and eggs were stir-fried and served. Yang Li knew that Ye Xi's appetite was far beyond that of ordinary people.

The food for the Night Raid was divided into ten shi (a unit of dry measure), with Najenda and the others receiving 0.1 shi, and Akame receiving 9.9 shi alone!

Yang Li quickly washed the pot clean with a dried loofah, took out the second batch of beaten egg liquid, put in the pre-cut pork tenderloin, added water, starch and flour and mixed well.

In a separate clean large bowl, I poured in cooking wine, sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, scallions, cornstarch, a large proportion of tomato sauce, and chicken broth to make a thickening sauce. This was prepared on the spot while the oil was being heated.

When the oil in the wok is heated to about 50% of its maximum temperature, add the sliced ​​meat and cook until crispy. Remove the meat and place it on a plate. Pour the sauce from the bowl over the meat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

The perfectly cooked sweet and sour pork was ready. Yang Li wiped imaginary sweat from her forehead. Her gaze inadvertently drifted to Chi Tong, who was helping to chop vegetables...

"Boss! Come here right now and get Akame out of here, or we might have to eat dinner all night!"

Yang Li's voice was filled with helplessness, because she had just discovered that the tomato and egg stir-fry she had made with a generous amount of oil had been completely devoured by Chi Tong, who had even licked the plate clean...

Of course, this is just a metaphor; Akame simply drank all the juice extracted from the tomato.

A dark green mechanical arm slashed through the air, and the unprepared Akame was grabbed by the head and slowly pulled out of the kitchen.

The next moment, Akame's cry of pain and the clicking sounds of Najenda's mechanical arms working hard proved that Akame was going through something.

Without wasting any more time, Yang Li's pupils turned a brilliant gold, and she instantly began a high-speed, efficient food preparation mode.

About an hour later, Yang Li pushed several dishes into the restaurant on a cart. The different aromas were amazing and invigorating to everyone. Chi Tong, who had just been tortured by the mechanical claw, immediately recovered on the spot!

West Lake beef soup served in a basin-sized bowl, scrambled eggs with tomatoes served on an extra-large plate, sweet and sour pork tenderloin enough to feed ten people, mushrooms and greens for a balanced meal, and a delicious spicy chicken dish.

Yang Li, standing by the dining table, did not serve the food immediately. Instead, she carefully considered what might be wrong, and then took out many small plates to start dividing the food.

Each person received a portion of food. Yang Li sat in her seat, while Chi Tong received a bowl of white rice and food for ten people.

Seeing Yang Li's handling of the situation, the others were not unhappy at all. On the contrary, they highly praised Yang Li's actions, since they were no match for Chi Tong when it came to grabbing food.

The saying "one person can take on an entire army" probably describes someone like Akame perfectly, right? Her appetite reminded Yang Li of a girl who also could eat a lot without gaining weight...

Everyone put their hands together and said, "Let's eat!" Yang Li also followed suit and said the same thing, and then began to eat breakfast.
