Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

Qin Qi nodded, took the ingredients from the chef, and then looked at the snake.

He simply swung his hand, and the butcher knife slid out of his sleeve, severing the snake's head in one stroke.

Then, with clean and efficient movements, the snake was dissected, removing all the dirt and leaving only the snake meat.

"Oh, this kid's knife skills are pretty good."

Dugu Bo watched Qin Qi's dissection movements, his eyes shining slightly. He hadn't expected that an apprentice from this small place would have such knife skills.

"This spider... this is how it should be handled, right?"

Qin Qi glanced at the spider, and with just one look, he was able to decipher its body structure. He then quickly dissected it with a knife.

Put it in the pan and start stir-frying; it was ready in no time.

"Well, this is my first time making this. To make sure it tastes right, I need to taste it first. I hope you don't mind?"

Before taking a bite, Qin Qi, holding his chopsticks, asked a question.

"Oh, so that's why you're so enthusiastic about cooking. It turns out it's because you want to eat it."

"Haha, but it's a pity, this stuff is highly poisonous, you won't be able to enjoy it if you eat it."

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi and laughed heartily. He was indeed still a child, just a glutton.

He said he picked up a piece with his chopsticks, tasted it, and then nodded.

"It's alright, the knife skills are good, the meat is cut very well, but the cooking time and seasoning are lacking."

"But I don't ask for anything in a place like this, I'll just make do with what I have."

As Dugu Bo spoke, his wine was brought over. He drank and ate meat at the same time, which was very comfortable.

"........."

"I should have secretly tried a bite first, but it doesn't matter, I'll catch two myself to try later."

Qin Qi was really craving it. He didn't know if it was because he had been making a lot of poisons, but he really wanted to taste what these poisons tasted like.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Just then, a small figure walked over from the kitchen doorway and asked.

Chapter 62 The snake meat smells amazing, and the sword technique that cuts through thunder!

"Hide it! Quickly, help me hide it!"

"And please hide this wine for me too!"

Upon hearing this voice, Dugu Bo panicked, immediately threw the things to Qin Qi, and stood up to wipe his mouth.

"Yanyan, Grandpa was hungry at night, so I came out to find something to eat. Why aren't you resting in your room?"

Dugu Bo took the initiative to walk up to Dugu Yan and hugged her, using his body to block her view.

"Come on, kid, let's go!"

Dugu Bo turned around and gave Qin Qi frantic looks, urging Qin Qi to grab the things and leave quickly.

"OK! The customer is God, even if it's a sneaky God."

Qin Qi picked up the plate, took the wine, and turned to leave. We didn't understand, but we respected the guest's opinion.

"Grandpa...did you secretly come here to drink alcohol and eat poison?"

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo, who had taken the initiative to hug her, and a suspicious expression appeared on her face.

She walked to the left, intending to bypass Dugu Bo and check the situation in the kitchen.

"How could that be? My Yan Yan said she wasn't allowed to eat it, so how could I possibly eat it?"

Dugu Bo took a step to the left, blocking Dugu Yan's view, and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, I'm not saying you shouldn't eat, I'm just thinking about your health. You're not young anymore."

"You need to take better care of your health, after all, you're Yanyan's only family."

As Dugu Yan spoke, a few glistening tears appeared at the corner of her eyes, her face looking pitiful.

"Yanyan, Grandpa knows, Grandpa definitely won't eat it, don't worry."

Seeing Dugu Yan like this, Dugu Bo immediately softened. He wasn't afraid of people being tough, but he was afraid of seeing Dugu Yan looking so sad.

Seeing him felt like my heart was being pricked by needles and squeezed; it was so heartbreaking.

"grandfather……"

"Yan Yan..."

Dugu Yan turned around and bypassed Dugu Bo, immediately spotting Qin Qi carrying things and preparing to leave.

"Grandpa, you're still lying to me!"

"I've caught you now! Not only did you eat drugs, you also drank alcohol. You... you don't take care of your body at all!"

Dugu Yan stomped her foot in anger, then her cheeks puffed up.

"Oh no..."

"Do I still need to leave?"

Qin Qi looked at Dugu Yan, then at Dugu Bo, and asked with his eyes.

"Yanyan, let me explain. Grandpa really isn't craving it. Grandpa has to practice his kung fu."

"Grandpa has to work hard to become stronger in order to protect you."

"What did I say before? 'Poison never leaves the mouth, and martial arts never leave the hand.'"

Dugu Bo spoke in a tone used to coax a little girl.

"Humph!"

Dugu Yan ignored Dugu Bo, gave a light snort, and walked to Qin Qi's side.

"Don't hold it anymore, put it down. But you can't leave the wine here, take it with you."

Dugu Yan spoke.

"Ok."

Qin Qi put down the plate, picked up the wine, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Dugu Yan suddenly spoke again.

"Okay, they haven't left yet."

Qin Qi stopped and spoke.

"This is a tip for you. My grandfather has caused you trouble."

"Also, are you alright? These things are poisonous; you might get poisoned if you're injured."

"I have some antidote here. If you feel poisoned, take it."

Dugu Yan handed Qin Qi a small tip and then gave him an antidote pill.

"Is this Dugu Yan? She's so reasonable!"

"Why did she turn into a crazy woman after growing up... Hmm, it must be because of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Those nobles are really harmful."

Qin Qi sighed inwardly, lamenting that spending too much time with nobles had corrupted their character.

"Thank you for your tip."

Qin Qi accepted the tip and the antidote pill, then took the wine and turned to leave. As he walked out of the kitchen, he heard the two talking.

"Yanyan, let me explain..."

"You don't need to explain. You just like these two dishes, how could I not know?"

"But this is the only time, you're not allowed to eat it next time."

"My precious granddaughter is the best."

Qin Qi left the kitchen, planning to go back to Notting College after get off work soon. He lay down on his bed and entered his study space.

........................

How was your learning today?

Tang Jiaren was playing chess with Tang Shiying when he saw Qin Qi come in and asked him a question.

"Not bad. I encountered a formidable opponent today. It seems they couldn't spot any flaws in my strategy."

"It's also possible that they noticed it but didn't pay attention."

Qin Qi wasn't sure if he had fooled Dugu Bo. With his strength, even if Dugu Bo saw through him, he wouldn't care.

"Whether you can fool them or not is not important. What's important is to appear natural. The disguise of my Tang Clan is not for you to pretend to be an idiot who can't do anything."

"Instead, it should be natural, so that people don't sense any danger and can't be wary of you at all."

Tang Jiaren said, "Hiding doesn't mean pretending to be a useless piece of trash. The essence of hiding is to make people feel no threat from you."

"Ah."

Qin Qi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"How's your swordsmanship practice going?"

Tang Shiying asked.

"The Azure Dragon in the Sleeve has already entered the basics; now it's probably at the level of Two Dragons Emerging from the Sea."

As Qin Qi spoke, he waved his hands, and a pig-slaughtering knife and a hand dagger appeared simultaneously, then disappeared at the same time.

As for why a pig-slaughtering knife was used, according to Tang Shiying, it was simply because they had one, so they used it.

It would be a waste not to use it.

"That's about enough. Next, I'll teach you another trick, one that I created when I was twenty."
