Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 133 The Shock from the Snow Empress's Hand

"Stop talking, stop talking! I can't understand it anyway, it's giving me a headache!" Bingdi quickly spoke up to stop Ling Shuang from continuing to explain the principles using those professional soul tool terms that she couldn't understand at all.

Although she had no idea, she didn't know why hearing these things made her head ache terribly.

Ling Shuang stopped explaining and looked at the clear, innocent eyes of Jiang Nannan and the others from Xue Di, who looked like college students listening to a lecture. He wisely shut his mouth and stopped talking about the topic.

"Brother, I'm hungry~" Wang Qiu'er tugged at Ling Shuang's sleeve.

This little imperial mythical beast has been calling me "brother" more and more naturally lately.

"I'm hungry, then..."

Ling Shuang suddenly realized something, and her pupils contracted sharply.

But that pleasant voice still rang out as expected: "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

Snow Empress said with a smile.

"Okay, mmm!" Wang Qiu'er was very curious about the North Pole Overlord's cooking skills. Just as she was about to speak, Ling Shuang covered her mouth.

She forced a smile and said, "You don't need to trouble yourself, Sister Xue'er. I can handle it."

Hyotei, standing to the side, echoed the sentiment, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "That's right, Yuki, I also miss Xiaoshuang's cooking. Let Xiaoshuang do it!"

Jiang Nannan was stunned by their reactions; she had no idea why they were so excited about Xue Di cooking.

"No, let me do it today." Xue Di resolutely refused Ling Shuang and the other's request.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to show off her culinary skills to Jiang Nannan, so why would she want to miss it?

After saying that, without waiting for Ling Shuang and Bing Di to say anything more, Xue Di strode into the kitchen, one of the few non-ice kitchens in the entire Ice Castle.

Ling Shuang and Bing Di exchanged a glance, both revealing expressions of utter despair.

"Is there a problem?" Jiang Nannan asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out soon enough..." Ling Shuang waved her hand, her tone somewhat resigned.

Although he has been persecuted for a long time, he still can't remain calm when faced with this moment!

Ling Shuang's actions made Jiang Nannan, who was already confused, even more bewildered.

It's just cooking; nothing particularly scary should happen, right?
However, Jiang Nannan soon found out why Bingdi and Ling Shuang had those expressions.

When Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er saw Xue Di bring out a brightly colored dish from the kitchen, but the ingredients inside were completely indistinguishable, they immediately realized something was wrong.

But since they had already prepared it, they couldn't very well refuse it without even trying it.

Perhaps it's just that the presentation is a little odd?

With this in mind, Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er still reached out their chopsticks and put a piece of something that didn't know what kind of plant-type soul beast it came from into their mouths.

But the facts told them that Ling Shuang and Bing Di's reactions were justified.

Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er never imagined that the food would taste like that.

Wang Qiu'er, in particular, has been eating cooked food since entering human society, and has come to believe that cooked food is tastier than raw food.

But today, Xue Di's cooking completely shattered Wang Qiu'er's opinion. The taste was many times more unpalatable than eating raw food!
Wang Qiu'er regretted it; she felt like going back and giving the version of herself who said she was hungry a good beating.

She could have simply told her brother in private that she only needed to eat some dry rations!
It was thanks to Wang Qiu'er's personality changing a lot during this time with Ling Shuang that she was able to eat Xue Di's indescribable dishes.

Otherwise, there's Wang Qiu'er from the original story, who could throw away dry rations on the ground because they didn't taste good, let alone Xue Di's devilish cuisine, which was far worse than those dry rations.

Jiang Nannan tried her best to maintain a calm facial expression. Although she was trying her best to control herself, the slight twitching of her eyes and the smile that looked more like crying showed how difficult it was for Jiang Nannan to endure.

Jiang Nannan began to suspect that Xue Di had deliberately made this thing to intimidate her, otherwise it would be hard to explain why someone could make something like this.

Even her first attempt at cooking wasn't nearly this outrageous!

Xue Di leaned closer, her face full of anticipation: "How was it?"

She noticed the subtle changes in Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er's expressions, which made her even more confident.

This must be because the two of them were so amazed by their own cooking skills, and found it to be incomparably delicious, that they made such expressions!

Xue Di was exceptionally confident because Ling Shuang and Bing Di had the same expression before, and they had all praised her cooking skills. These two would definitely be no exception!
Wang Qiu'er didn't answer; she didn't want to open her mouth anymore.

Jiang Nannan forced a very "sincere" smile: "Sister Xue'er's cooking skills are truly rare..."

She wasn't lying, after all, there aren't many people who can make food as bad as Xue Di.

Ling Shuang, who had a similar experience, said she fully understood Jiang Nannan's current state and the meaning behind her words.

He silently patted Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er on the shoulders, and a pale green light slowly appeared.

Jiang Nannan and the other person felt a gentle energy flowing through their bodies, and the discomfort in their bodies quickly subsided.

Using the power of life to counteract the negative effects of consuming the Snow Emperor's cooking is a method Ling Shuang has devised over many attempts to make herself feel better.

He had subtly suggested to Xue Di that she might not be suited for cooking, but perhaps Xue Di's own palate was a little different from theirs, because after tasting her own cooking, she became even more confident.

This left Ling Shuang feeling utterly hopeless.

He couldn't very well point at the older sister who raised him and solemnly tell her that her cooking skills were terrible and that he had never eaten anything so bad, could he?

Ling Shuang couldn't do it anyway. As for Bing Di, she always clearly expressed her resistance to Xue Di's cooking, but Xue Di thought she had a problem with her sense of taste.

In order to help Hyotei's sense of taste "return to normal", Yukitei also forced Hyotei to eat more "delicious food" made by herself.

That night, Hyotei drank an unknown amount of water, just to suppress that unbearable feeling.

Since that incident, she never dared to criticize Xue Di's cooking skills again, and instead pretended that she had "returned to normal".

After all, that way she could only suffer a few bites, but if she continued to hold her own opinion, it would be more than just a few bites of discomfort.

The far north, known as the most hot-tempered of the heavens, eventually had its rough edges smoothed out by the Snow Emperor, who chose those who knew how to adapt to the times.

That night, Xue Di was very happy that her cooking skills had not deteriorated.

That night, the naive Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er redefined their understanding of the limits of food safety.
