AMSSO-Chapter 3: Sucked in like a Storm

Soon, a strong smell began to waft out.

Chu Jingzhuo’s expression turned odd. The smell was… indescribable.

A bit fragrant. A bit foul. And kind of… intoxicating?

Even though he watched her prepare the ingredients, the resulting aroma didn’t match anything he expected.

The Soul-Devouring Tiger beside him tilted its head, wearing a similarly baffled expression.

Its sense of smell was far more sensitive than Chu Jingzhuo’s, and the scent it picked up was even more complex.

Before long, Mu Shiyue lifted the lid. A strange smell burst forth.

She stirred the pot with a spoon, poking and mixing until everything inside turned into a mushy paste.

Watching her actions, Chu Jingzhuo’s facial features couldn’t help but twist along, his eyes fearful.

The Soul-Devouring Tiger’s eyes also carried a trace of fear, carefully retreating a little.

After Mu Shiyue stirred for a while, she finally nodded in satisfaction.

She extinguished the fire and scooped out the contents of the pot.

Carrying the plate, she walked up to the Soul-Devouring Tiger, “Eat!”

Looking at the strangely colored mush in front of it, the Soul-Devouring Tiger involuntarily retreated another step.

Chu Jingzhuo: “…”

“Oh, is it too hot?” Mu Shiyue muttered to herself, then turned her head toward Chu Jingzhuo and said, “Don’t you have an ice spiritual root? Use some ice to cool it down.”

“…” Chu Jingzhuo’s mouth twitched, he pressed his lips together, and said with a complicated expression: “Master, my ice spiritual root…”

He indeed had an ice spiritual root, but it was already destroyed.

Now his ice spiritual root was like a rope on the verge of breaking. If he continued to use spiritual power, it would easily snap.

But Mu Shiyue didn’t care, “Aiya, it’s exactly because it’s not good that you should use it more. Maybe the more you use it, the better it’ll get?”

Chu Jingzhuo: “…”

This was the first time he heard such a statement.

Ever since his ice spiritual root was damaged, he was very cautious in cultivating, afraid that it would be completely ruined.

However, since his master ordered, he couldn’t refuse.

He glanced at the mush that looked like vomit, his Adam’s apple moved, he quickly shifted his gaze away, and then carefully condensed a strand of ice.

With that ice, the mush that was steaming immediately cooled down.

“Done.”

Mu Shiyue called to stop, then handed the plate, now at a suitable temperature, to the Soul-Devouring Tiger, “You can eat now.”

The Soul-Devouring Tiger looked at the frightening-looking, complex-smelling mush, its eyes filled with fear and struggle, wishing it could turn around and escape.

It never ate something so terrifying!

It’s been a long time since Mu Shiyue did something like this, but she could not allow it to run away.

Besides, at times like this, one must show a resolute attitude.

Otherwise, once the other side realized, it would be troublesome.

This was the empty city stratagem, the attitude must be firm.

“Eat, don’t be polite.”

Sure enough, once Mu Shiyue’s attitude became firm, the Soul-Devouring Tiger hesitated.

That punch from Mu Shiyue just now really left a deep impression on it.

It was afraid she would hit it again!

If that happened, it might really lose its life.

Although Mu Shiyue now looked utterly ordinary, with no imposing manner, her calm eyes made its heart feel weak.

— Humans are very cunning!

It always felt that if it didn’t agree, this plate of stuff would be dumped on its head!

Thinking of this, the Soul-Devouring Tiger could only aggrievedly nod its head.

“Good child.”

Mu Shiyue immediately smiled, then put the bowl on the ground, “Eat.”

The Soul-Devouring Tiger, nearly her height, looked at her, then finally hesitantly lowered its head and opened its mouth.

A tiger under the eaves has no choice but to bow its head!

Chu Jingzhuo looked at the interaction between person and tiger, his eyes were about to pop out.

When the Soul-Devouring Tiger really opened its mouth to eat, his jaw nearly fell to the ground!

Master is too mighty!

Just as this thought landed, he saw the Soul-Devouring Tiger’s body suddenly freeze after eating a little bit of the mush.

It’s over!

Chu Jingzhuo sucked in a breath, the Soul-Devouring Tiger couldn’t have found it too disgusting and was finally about to turn hostile, right?

Just as he thought of rushing over to save someone, the Soul-Devouring Tiger suddenly opened its big mouth wide and rapidly sucked the mush in like a storm!

Chu Jingzhuo: “???!!!”

Watching the Soul-Devouring Tiger sweep through the mush like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Chu Jingzhuo was dumbfounded!

When he saw it act spoiled toward Mu Shiyue, wanting to eat more, he was even more petrified.

Could it be that there was poison in the mush, and the Soul-Devouring Tiger became stupid?

Mu Shiyue had no idea her fourth disciple’s thoughts were this fanciful. She patted the big spoiled tiger, but what she said was very resolute, “Enough, you’ve already finished eating, you can go now.”

“Roar~~”

It was obvious, the Soul-Devouring Tiger’s cry was much softer than before, even the sweetness was different.

Such a fierce spirit beast could actually act spoiled!

But Mu Shiyue’s heart was like iron, unmoved, “No more, really no more, go go go.”

Mu Shiyue herself was quite happy, her skills hadn’t regressed!

In her first life, in order to make money and support herself, she took on many different jobs.

Not only did she raise pigs, she also worked in a small zoo taking care of various little animals!

When others worried about their pets being picky eaters, she could casually raise plump and fat animals.

This kind of skill was not something just anyone could have.

Before the accident, she was even planning to open a pig farm.

Although in her second life she hardly used such skills, she didn’t regress at all!

Actually, after her cooking, these foods had no change, nor would they contain more spiritual energy.

But, the feed she processed was for animals the same as fried chicken was for humans.

Does fried chicken have nutrition?

No.

But fried chicken is delicious!

Now, this Soul-Devouring Tiger ate “fried chicken” for the first time, of course it liked it very much.

“Roar~”

The Soul-Devouring Tiger continued acting spoiled toward Mu Shiyue, still wanting more.

Mu Shiyue remained unmoved, “No, there’s none left. Our grievances are already written off.”

She even raised her fist toward the Soul-Devouring Tiger, threatening with an unchanged face, “If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for making a move. At that time, even if you want to leave, you won’t be able to.”

The Soul-Devouring Tiger: “…”

Chu Jingzhuo: “…”

After the two sides confronted each other for a while, the Soul-Devouring Tiger finally left.

Watching the Soul-Devouring Tiger leave, turning back every three steps, Chu Jingzhuo was already numb.

How could such a terrifying mush make it like it so much?

Of course, the most amazing thing was still Master’s actions.

Chu Jingzhuo’s eyes were full of thirst for knowledge, “Master…”

“Sigh, your master is tired.” Mu Shiyue waved her hand, quickly putting on a weak face, “You clean up well, your master wants to rest for a while.”

“…Alright.”

That was true, Master just learned of her ancestors’ death, she must be very sad.

And so many things happened today, she must be very tired.

“Master, you rest well, I will clean up properly.” He said seriously.

“Good.”

Mu Shiyue, with her hands behind her back, slowly returned to her own room.

She needs to properly digest the whole matter!

After sending Mu Shiyue off, Chu Jingzhuo began cleaning the sect.

When the Soul-Devouring Tiger broke in just now, it even damaged the sect’s main gate.

Just as he was cleaning, a goose-yellow figure quickly came closer from the distance, and a fearful, panicked voice drifted over.

“Master! Fourth Junior Brother… Fourth Junior Brother?!”
