Demon hunter's Cooking Manual

"All the folks from Martial Arts Street, no need for this."

He said, as he quickly grabbed the dime and ran towards the office.

Dou Bao shook her head with a smile.

Without saying anything more, she turned and walked back to Jason's side.

Then, her eyes suddenly fixed.

She saw the corpse on the ground decaying.

Decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, maggots and flies quickly appeared.

"Ugh!"

Already frightened, Li Yuanyuan and Zhao Shuhua couldn't hold back anymore and ran aside to vomit, and many people around them were also nauseated by the scene.

Dou Bao glanced at Li Yuanyuan and Zhao Shuhua, and her eyes became increasingly pure.

Just like this?

Afterward, she stood beside Jason, waiting with her master for people from the office to arrive.

A moment later, Jia Youcai arrived with a team of five constables.

"Master Mu...hiss, this?"

Jia Youcai habitually greeted Jason, but the next moment took a sharp breath.

Because he saw Zhao Laosi's corpse.

No!

To be precise, it was a corpse that had rotted for more than ten days in a high-temperature environment.

Maggots and flies covered it.

When people stepped closer, the flies would buzz and gather into a swarm.

"Ugh!"

The five constables behind him took one glance and ran aside to join the vomiting group.

Jia Youcai's face turned pale as he bit his lip to keep from throwing up.

Watching Dou Bao's unchanged expression, he secretly admired her.

Not mentioning strength, just attitude, he was far inferior to this sister Dou Bao.

'Indeed, anyone beside Master Mu is talented.'

Jia Youcai thought to himself and then asked with full confusion.

"What's going on, Master Mu?"

"Wasn't the person just dead?"

When Jia Youcai arrived, he had inquired about the messenger's account, and the messenger had detailed the incident.

Upon hearing that Zhao Laosi had been killed and impersonated, sweat started forming on his forehead.

He instinctively recalled Li Deshang questioning him in the morning.

Luckily, Li Deshang hadn't gone to the dumpling stall.

If he did and something happened.

He would surely die, not to mention implicating his mother.

Thinking of this, Jia Youcai didn't want to delay and immediately took a team of appointed men out to the scene, but the corpse couldn't possibly be freshly dead; despite his ordinary skills, having been an arrest officer for so many years, he still possessed some observational acumen.

The corpse couldn't have rotted to this degree without a month or more.

"Yes, just died, but the corpse decayed quickly."

"It should be some kind of potion."

"Where's the coroner?"

Jason asked.

"We came first."

"The coroner will be here soon."

"Stop vomiting, come over and secure the scene."

Jia Youcai shouted at his subordinates.

The constables held back their discomfort and jogged back to start clearing the crowd and securing the scene.

Jason scanned the group and turned to walk toward the martial arts school.

Although until now, Jason hadn't figured out what was happening, the assassin disguised as Zhao Laosi was certainly not dead, this point Jason could confirm.

'Clearly the deputy world in front of me is far more than martial skill!'

'There are still secret techniques unimaginable to ordinary people!'

'Even...'

'The assassin just now used a special martial skill!'

Jason thought as he walked.

Undoubtedly, pertaining to the deputy world before him, he knew far too little.

Besides knowing some secrets from Li Deshang, he was almost ignorant of the deputy world before him.

Moreover, even Li Deshang was merely a dabbler.

'I must learn more.'

Jason thought to himself.

However, that was for later.

Now?

"Dou Bao, what about lunch?"

Jason asked.

"Rice, stewed fish, and firewood chicken."

Dou Bao said, watching her master's Adam's apple move up and down, evidently swallowing, which made Dou Bao's mouth curl up.

She loved her master's look like this.

Involuntarily, Dou Bao felt even happier.

But soon, Dou Bao felt displeased.

Li Yuanyuan and Zhao Shuhua followed them over.

"Do you have something?"

Dou Bao turned around and asked.

Although he had a smile on his face, it was purely a skin-deep smile.

"We are here to thank Master Mu."

Li Yuanyuan said as she took a small box out of the bag she was carrying.

"This is the 'Secret Medicine' I found through someone."

"As a token of gratitude, to thank Master Mu."

Saying this, Li Yuanyuan looked at Jason.

Zhao Shuhua also took out a box from her bag, looking at Jason with the same expression.

Jason turned around, eyeing the two girls.

From their previous talk and mannerisms, as well as their clothing, he knew the two girls were from wealthy backgrounds.

Not to mention other things, just the small accessories on them were beyond what ordinary families could dream of.

However, Jason did not expect them to find the 'Secret Medicine.'

"Thank you both, I appreciate it."

After saying this, Jason accepted the two boxes without further words and turned around to enter the martial arts school.

They came to show their gratitude and brought gifts.

He accepted them, and that was enough.

As for more?

Jason wasn't interested.

No matter how good these two girls were, they couldn't compare with Dou Bao's three meals a day.

Watching Jason's actions, Li Yuanyuan and Zhao Shuhua were stunned.

It was not quite what they expected.

Nor was it what their brothers and sisters had told them.

There was no enthusiastic welcome, nor any hypocritical responses.

"Please leave."

Looking at their expressions, Dou Bao smiled gently.

Trying to win over our Master with this little stuff?

Such wishful thinking!

Then, Dou Bao briskly walked into the martial arts school, closing the door behind him.

Bang!

With the sound of the door hitting the frame, Li Yuanyuan and Zhao Shuhua snapped back to reality.

"Hua Hua, is Master Mu unhappy with our gifts?"

Li Yuanyuan asked with a mournful face.

"No."

"Master Mu said 'I appreciate it,' and his expression didn't seem fake."

Zhao Shuhua shook her head.

"Then why was he so cold?"

"I still wanted to learn martial arts from him."

"Now I can't even get in the door."

Li Yuanyuan lowered her head in frustration, burying it in her chest.

"Maybe it's just his nature?"

"Let's leave first."

"There's been a murder here, and our unique identities shouldn't get involved, or else your brother and my sister will keep us home forever."

Zhao Shuhua said, pulling her friend's hand and heading out of Martial Arts Street.

The previously disheartened Li Yuanyuan was now excited.

"Is this the martial world?"

She whispered.

"No."

"It's an accident."

Zhao Shuhua replied.

Then, disregarding her friend's pouting, she simply waved.

A rounded-top car drove up quickly.

After they got in, the car rapidly disappeared at the end of the road.

Inside the martial arts school, in front of the kitchen, dining table.

Dou Bao was still busy.

Jason had already opened the two boxes.

Each box contained a bottle with five 'Nourishing Essence Pills.'

Pouring out nine of them, Jason tossed them into his mouth.

Immediately, his satiety level rose to 3051 points.

With satiety over three thousand points, Jason's thoughts began to stir again.

The first thing he thought of was [Dragon. Battle Patterns. Prus. Griffin. Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique].

But soon, Jason shook his head.

Previously, reaching the peerless level resulted in dying 1000 times and consumed 3000 satiety points. To ascend to the transcendent level, the current satiety was obviously insufficient, not to mention he had integrated Tongshou Temple's legacy [Dragon].

As for using satiety and Excitement of Feast to improve levels?

Though he could endure consuming 500 satiety points and 100 points of Excitement with his current satiety and Excitement levels, Jason knew the rarity of Excitement of Feast.

He definitely wouldn't change his original set tone simply because he had 141 points of Excitement.

Use good steel on the cutting edge!

The concept of 'homeland,' Jason hadn't forgotten.

'When satiety accumulates a bit more, it's right to use the demonstration of talent to enhance [Dragon. Battle Patterns. Prus. Griffin. Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique] to transcendence. As for [Evil-Slaying Slash], it's enough for now. Given that the present Excitement remains usable, it's time to enhance other auxiliary skills.'

In contemplation, Jason quickly made his decision.
