Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

"That Su Lingbai, he never asks me for good things, but he always asks me to do the dirty and tiring work."

"You want to eat fish but you make me go fishing? That's outrageous!"

On the tranquil, dark sea, a small wooden boat slowly broke through the churning water, and a strange figure became clearly visible in the hazy shimmering water.

The girl's upper body was that of a beautiful human, while her lower body, covered in blue scales and with a long snake tail, was that of a half-human, half-snake monster named Xiaocaihua.

Her face was full of frustration and dissatisfaction. Her small hands gripped the rough wooden paddle, and she paddled the water forcefully, her cheeks puffed out as she muttered complaints.

The small wooden boat drifted with the waves, and before long, it entered a dark sea area with an eerie atmosphere, littered with the remains of broken bodies.

Scattered pieces of meat floated on the surface of the sea, bobbing gently with the cold water, creating an eerie and sinister scene.

Little Cauliflower glanced at the water and spotted a lone piece of meat on the surface. Her brows furrowed involuntarily, and a sense of curiosity arose in her heart.

She extended her snake tail and gently coiled it up onto the deck. She crouched down to examine it closely, and, almost as if possessed, even tentatively took a small bite to taste it.

The moment her taste buds touched the flesh, she instantly realized that it was a human forearm.

Little Cauliflower blinked blankly, utterly confused: "How could something like this appear here?"

Although she was filled with doubts, as a demon who was born to feed on flesh and blood, she did not feel fear or rejection. On the contrary, she found the meat tender and delicious, which suited her taste perfectly.

Thinking of this, the girl's lips slowly curled upwards, forming a sly and satisfied smile.

"I can't worry about that anymore. Since I found it, it belongs to me."

"Anyway, it's all meat, so it's all edible."

"Su Lingbai probably won't care."

"It's better than going home empty-handed."

Su Lingbai's task for her today was to fish for a type of tuna called "Red-bodied Sea Glutton" in this sea area.

The Naked Sea Glutton is a high-level demon beast with an incredibly delicious taste. It generally only exists in the deep sea and is extremely rare.

If sold outside, a pound of this can fetch millions of Witch Coins.

To put it bluntly, Su Lingbai was simply driven by a craving for food, so he felt justified in exploiting Xiao Caihua by making her go out to sea to fish.

Tonight is a "Fantasy Party," and the naked sea monster's most hated food is a type of shrimp. So, fishing for them at this time will greatly increase your chances of catching them.

But unfortunately, Xiao Caihua was just too unlucky.

From the afternoon until now, late at night, the sea has been swaying for half a day, but not a single naked sea monster has been seen.

Not to mention catching one.

Not a single one.

The more Xiao Caihua thought about it, the angrier she became. Why should Su Lingbai be able to stay at home while she had to be exposed to the wind and sun at sea?

Oh wait, it's nighttime now, there's no sun.

That won't do!

Soon, Xiao Caihua had dredged up all the limbs, severed arms, and bits of flesh from this area of ​​the sea and piled them up in the corner of the small wooden boat, making a huge heap.

Then, she caught some other fish to complete the task.

Only then did they return to the Shirare Bell Shrine.

……

Little Cauliflower, dragging two large bags of her harvest, pushed open the wooden door of the shrine, her clear voice echoing inside: "I'm back!"

The room was quiet, and there was no response.

One bag was bulging with fresh sea fish, while the other bag contained the remains of flesh and blood she had salvaged from the sea.

"Not home?"

Xiao Caihua didn't take it to heart at all, having long been accustomed to Su Lingbai's capricious nature.

She walked into the house with practiced ease, put some of the sea fish and the blood and flesh she had caught into the refrigerator, and then went into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to cook a delicious meal.

Despite being a notorious monster, Little Flower has the complete opposite hobby.

She is extremely passionate about cooking, and her culinary skills are unparalleled. The dishes she makes are fresh, fragrant, and flavorful.

This is also the fundamental reason why Su Lingbai never took action to eliminate her despite her outrageous and reckless behavior.

After all, no one can resist a snake-like girl with top-notch culinary skills who can always create unparalleled delicacies.

Xiao Caihua took out a large iron pot, added water, star anise, cinnamon, and various spices, and started a slow simmer.

The water was gradually simmered into a rich, dark brown braising liquid, and its mellow and enticing aroma slowly rose and permeated the entire shrine.

Once the aroma of the braising sauce was fully released, she poured the salvaged fragments of people into the iron pot, covered it, and let the ingredients simmer slowly in the broth until they were fully flavored.

In her mind, braising is the most perfect way to cook meat and bring out its freshness and aroma.

After preparing the braised meat, she methodically washed the vegetables and carefully cooked the freshly caught sea fish.

Soon, two exquisite dishes were cooked and placed on the table.

Just as the meal was all prepared and the aroma filled the air, Su Lingbai, who had been wandering outside, happened to push open the door and return home.

The girl squinted her eyes slightly, stretched comfortably as she entered, and said in a tone full of enjoyment, "Another day of watching a movie all to myself, so blissful."

Su Lingbai usually enjoys watching movies, especially gory and banned films with a unique style.

The rising of the red moon, symbolizing chaos, is the perfect opportunity for her to sneak out to watch a movie.

She had complete control of the huge, luxurious cinema, with popcorn and all kinds of snacks at her disposal, and no one bothered her the entire time.

I never spend money to watch movies.

She washed her hands and sat down at the dining table.

"Let me see what dishes are served today."

His gaze swept casually over the dishes on the table, his expression quite satisfied.

"Steamed fish—not bad, it's one of my favorite dishes."

"Stir-fried greens—that's good too."

The table is simply set with two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, a well-balanced combination.

Su Lingbai turned her gaze to the little cauliflower standing to the side with its head drooping, and asked softly, "Where's the naked sea tuna I ordered?"

Before Xiaocaihua could answer, just by looking at the other person's evasive and guilty expression, she already knew the final result.

I didn't catch anything.

Another day for the Air Force.

"……never mind."

Su Lingbai shook her head slightly, her tone filled with a sense of helpless acceptance: "It's normal that you can't catch anything, since you've never succeeded in catching one before."

After saying that, she picked up her bamboo chopsticks, took a piece of tender fish, and put it in her mouth.

The unique freshness of the sea fish touched her taste buds, making her eyes squint as she ate.

He looked completely at ease.

"Little Cauliflower, your cooking skills have improved a lot, you deserve praise."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of boiling water wafted from the kitchen, and a rich, heavy aroma of meat wafted out through the crack in the door, filling the entire room.

Su Lingbai raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in confusion, "Are there any dishes in the kitchen that haven't been served yet?"

"That's something I made for myself. You won't like it, and you don't need to taste it."

Little Cauliflower rolled her eyes and responded irritably.

Su Lingbai's expression suddenly hardened, and she instantly realized something, her aura turning icy cold.

"You went out and picked up corpses on the street again?"

She stood up, grabbed Xiaocaihua by the neck, and lifted her up.

"I told you not to eat that kind of stuff, don't you find it disgusting?"

Little Caihua struggled to breathe, her face flushed red, as she stammered, "I...I didn't...pick...I swear..."

"I really... I absolutely didn't do anything wrong..." she desperately shook her head to explain.

Su Lingbai stared intently into her eyes, observing her for a long time. Seeing that her gaze was sincere and did not seem to be deliberately lying or making excuses, he finally let go and gently put her down.

"So what kind of meat are you braising in your pot?"

Little Cauliflower shrank her neck and answered truthfully in a low voice, "It's human flesh."

"Human flesh search?"

Su Lingbai was startled, then immediately came to her senses and raised her fist to give the other party a good whack.

"You damned snake, you still say you didn't go out and pick up corpses on the street!"

"I really didn't pick it up!"

Little Caihua immediately squatted down, so frightened that she closed her eyes and covered her head.

"I fished it out of the sea."

Su Lingbai: "..."

boom--! ! !

A heavy punch landed, blasting Xiao Caihua's head into a cloud of blood mist.

The little cauliflower, with its regenerative abilities, quickly rebuilt its body, pouting with a wronged expression:

"I clearly stated that I found it in the sea, not picked it up on the street, so why did you hit me!"

"I get it! You just want to hit me!"

"You bad woman!"

Su Lingbai said coldly, "Where you picked it up isn't the point. The point is you shouldn't have picked it up in the first place, okay?"

"I've told you so many times not to eat this kind of thing."

"You brought it back and braised it in my pot."

"Just tell me, did you deserve to be hit?"

Xiao Caihua instinctively wanted to shake her head in rebuttal, but upon seeing Su Lingbai raise her fist again, she instantly cowered and quickly changed her tune: "I deserve to be hit! I deserve to die!"

"it is good."

Su Lingbai nodded slightly.

"You said it yourself."

Another deafening thud followed as the fist struck again, shattering Xiao Caihua's head once more.

After the girl with the snake-like skin recovered, Su Lingbai immediately ordered, "Quickly go and dump that pot of braised meat, the farther the better, and then throw the pot away too."

"……yes."

Little Cauliflower dared not disobey in the slightest, obediently following orders. She picked up the still steaming, bubbling iron pot, twisted her tail, and swam swiftly down the mountain.

Watching the girl with the vegetable snake walk away forlornly, Su Lingbai rubbed her forehead, feeling helpless and troubled, and let out a long sigh.

"What a waste of my gas and my iron pot."

This isn't the first time the girl with the cauliflower snake has cooked and eaten this kind of thing at home.

Su Lingbai found it disgusting and would beat him up every time he saw him.

After calming down, Su Lingbai walked to the refrigerator and planned to take out some chilled wheat juice to soothe her mood.

But the moment she opened the refrigerator door, a large iron basin came into view.

The bowl contains various seasonings, and you can see chopped green onions and cilantro.

It looks like they're pickling something; it's wrapped in a thick layer of plastic wrap.

Su Lingbai was puzzled and reached out to tear off the tightly wrapped plastic wrap layer by layer.

The next second, a cold, pale human head was suddenly exposed in sight.

The human head was covered with cilantro and scallions, its shattered cheeks still bearing traces of dark red blood, and its empty, deep-set eyes were lifeless and staring straight at him.

The scene was terrifying and horrifying, sending chills down your spine.

"Little cauliflower!!!"

Su Lingbai's eyelids twitched wildly, and anger surged to the top of her head instantly, not from being frightened by the head, but from being completely enraged by Xiao Caihua's repeated actions.

The perfectly good metal bowl and tableware were ruined and destroyed by the other party.

Su Lingbai suppressed her surging anger.

Just as she was about to take the pot out and throw it away, pot and all—

She suddenly realized something was wrong.

She reached out and gently lifted the loose, long white hair atop the head, and liquid mixed with marinade and blood dripped down.

Su Lingbai raised her hand to brush away the scallion and vegetable leaves that were stuck to her cheek, and carefully examined the broken and incomplete face. The familiar outline gradually emerged clearly.

It was a face she had seen before.

Not long ago, she had eaten hot pot, drunk wheat juice, and chatted with the owner of this face.

Su Lingbai paused for a moment, then uttered two words.

"The Song of Chu?"

The sound echoed in the empty room.

The cold air from the refrigerator drifted out from the open door, creating a white mist.

The human head lay quietly in the basin, motionless.

The crimson moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the gruesome scene in the pot, creating an eerie atmosphere.
