The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

Whoosh!!

Without a sound, Jiang Jing shot into the sky at a terrifying speed of dozens of times the speed of sound, appearing above the city. After determining the direction, his figure flashed and appeared at his destination, covering dozens of miles.

Meanwhile, a layer of cyan whirlwind surrounds Jiang Jing's body, eliminating all resistance from the air and preventing the high-speed flight from generating a destructive shockwave.

This is one of the minor abilities Jiang Jing gained from opening those acupoints: Instant Speed, which allows him to move at supersonic speeds, ignoring air resistance.

For him, it's just a small, everyday skill.

In battle, Jiang Jing prefers not to eliminate air resistance. For someone with a terrifying physique like him, the wind pressure shockwave generated by his high-speed movement is also a means of attack, making it very convenient to clear out the small fry on the battlefield.

He doesn't even need to lift a finger; the plasma shockwaves he generates as he flies by will wipe out any weaklings.

P.S.: Haha, everyone, remember to vote if you have any!

Yesterday, I received two more chapters from monthly tickets and razor blades, leaving me owing 19 chapters. Today, I'll add one more, leaving me owing 18 chapters. Hmm, the increase isn't fast, so I'm not worried.

Chapter 98 Shiina Mashiro in a Panic

"Sure enough, this one was much better than the previous ones. The emotional expression was delicate when it needed to be delicate, and passionate when it needed to be passionate."

In a high-end dessert shop, Ayano Iida, sitting by the window, was organizing a stack of manga manuscript papers in her hands, smiling as she spoke.

Across from her, Shiina Mashiro was eating an ice cream cake.

Today, she had two things to do: first, to chat with Ayano Iida about manga-related matters, and second, to hand over the first draft of the first volume of Toradora!

“We divided the content of the first volume into ninety-seven pages. You have now completed thirty-seven pages, and the quality is not a problem. I think we can launch the manga version on the same day that the third volume of Toradora is released.”

"I'll talk to the editor-in-chief of the online department, Uemura, about this tomorrow. She shouldn't refuse something that would help boost the popularity of Dragon and Tiger."

"You decide on these, Ayano. I'll just be responsible for the drawing." Shiina Mashiro nodded, showing no interest.

After finishing the business, Ayano Iida rested her chin on her hand and looked at Mashiro Shiina with curiosity: "Mashiro, how far have things progressed between you and Kanda-sensei?"

"What development?" Shiina Mashiro looked up, her eyes filled with doubt.

"How far have you two progressed in your relationship? Have you kissed? Or have you already done it?"

Ayano Iida said with some envy, "Speaking of which, Mashiro, you and Kanda-sensei are a match made in heaven, so enviable."

"A handsome writer who wrote a hit book while still in high school, which became a bestseller with millions of copies sold."

"The other one is also a world-class genius female painter. Her skills in color oil painting are comparable to those of world-class painters. Now she is switching to comics and she is going to become famous with one work."

Just as Ayano Iida was sighing, Mashiro Shiina, sitting opposite her, tilted her head and asked blankly, "Dating? What's that?"

"what……?"

Ayano Iida was taken aback and looked at Mashiro Shiina: "Aren't you dating Kanda-sensei?"

"What is dating?" Shiina Mashiro asked again.

Suddenly, Ayano Iida remembered that Mashiro Shiina seemed to lack common sense. Could it be...?

"You don't even know what dating is, but I see you two together every day. So what's going on between you and Kanda-sensei?"

“Sorata is my owner,” Shiina Mashiro said calmly.

"Pfft..." Ayano Iida, who was drinking her beverage, almost spat it out.

Just as Ayano Iida was curiously inquiring about the relationship between Mashiro Shiina and Keiko, an invisible barrier appeared in the shadows of a nearby alley.

"Your Highness, be careful, this knife is dangerous."

A burly middle-aged man in a black suit stood behind a handsome young man with an air of nobility and said in a deep voice.

"General Mao, I have a feeling that this sword is aimed at us." The incredibly handsome young man, who was called a prince, squinted at the sword stuck in the ground in front of him.

Just as the young man narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint appeared in his long, narrow green pupils, instantly destroying his noble aura and giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

The two came from a low-level cultivation world destroyed by an evil god. The young man and the middle-aged man broke through the void during a battle between a supreme expert and a powerful evil god, and happened to witness this, thus escaping a calamity and being brought to the forbidden battlefield.

Today, they had just returned to the human world early with some extraordinary individuals who were on rotation every three years to report for duty. After completing various procedures and reading the laws and regulations that needed to be followed in this world, the two, who were very curious about this world, went out for a stroll.

Then, by chance, I saw Shiina Mashiro chatting with Iida Ayano across the street, and I was instantly captivated by her.

Of course, the attraction did not come from appearance. Although Mashiro was very beautiful, as a prince of a once-great cultivation world, the young man had seen countless beauties.

To his surprise, the purity emanating from Mashiro's soul was more suitable for his cultivation technique than any innate pure yin body or tranquil body. He immediately had the idea of ​​using Mashiro as a furnace.

However, just as he began to harbor evil intentions, the scene before their eyes changed, and they found themselves inside this dark red barrier.

The dark red knife stuck in the ground in front of them gave them an extremely dangerous feeling, and they instinctively released their protective magic weapon, a flying sword.

hum!

Just then, a layer of bloody light appeared on the demonic blade, and instantly a dazzling blade light burst forth, sweeping across the entire barrier space, like mercury spilling onto the ground, penetrating everywhere and impossible to resist.

"Your Highness, be careful..."

"Danger……"

puff! !

The two cultivators, both at the fourth-star Nascent Soul level, were protected by magical artifacts that could withstand intercontinental ballistic missiles. Their high-grade spiritual energy flying swords were directly torn apart by the demonic blade and instantly slashed into blood mist by countless sharp blade energies.

boom!!

Just then, a ball of black flame enveloped the blood mist, then the flame contracted and merged into the demonic blade, the barrier disappeared, leaving nothing behind, completely clean.

Murder, arson, and destruction of evidence—the demonic swordsmanship was mastered without a teacher.

……

"Mashiro, listen to me, things really can't go on like this. Let me tell you, this..."

"so……"

"Talent..."

“Men all fall for this. Only in this way can you win over Kanda-sensei…” Ayano Iida and Mashiro Shiina huddled together, speaking mysteriously. Mashiro Shiina nodded blankly from time to time.

"Alright, let's call it a day." Ayano Iida gestured to the waiter in the distance to pay the bill.

As for Shiina Mashiro, she had no concept of paying money at all.

"Let's go, Mashiro." With that, Ayano Iida picked up her handbag containing the manuscript.

"Okay." Still processing what Ayano Iida had said, a somewhat dazed Shiina Mashiro nodded and began packing her things to leave.

Her backpack contained very little: a sketchbook, a few pencils, and a dozen or so sheets of paper. As for books…

But suddenly Shiina Mashiro paused, then hurriedly rummaged through her backpack, even dumping everything inside onto the table, her voice revealing panic for the first time: "Where's the knife?"

"What's wrong, Mashiro?" Ayano Iida was also surprised; it was the first time she had ever seen Shiina Mashiro like this.

"A small knife that Sora really liked is missing. Ayano, check if it's tucked in the manuscript." Shiina Mashiro looked at Iida Ayano with anxious eyes.

Because Shiina Mashiro often saw Jiang Jing playing with the Crimson Lotus, she thought Jiang Jing must really like that knife, and now it's suddenly gone...

"No." Ayano Iida searched through her handbag but didn't find the knife that Mashiro had mentioned.

"How could that be? I put it in my backpack after Sorata gave it to me at noon." Shiina Mashiro seemed a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, Mashiro, let's look again," Ayano Iida quickly reassured Mashiro.

"Think about it, did you forget it somewhere?"

"Huh, isn't that one?" Ayano, who had suddenly stood up, pointed to a corner of the backpack on the stool where a miniature demon sword was peeking out.

"Ah...it's Guren." Shiina Mashiro exclaimed with delight.

"Phew...that's good. It probably fell out when you took out the original manuscript earlier." Ayano Iida breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know why Shiina Mashiro cares so much about a toy knife, it's good that she found it.

"Let's go, I'll take you home first."

Next, Ayano Iida drove Shiina Mashiro back to Sakura-sou without incident.

"Mashiro, you need to hurry up with the manuscript. Volume 3 will be released on the 25th, and we need to finalize the content by the 23rd at the latest and print it overnight." On the train, Ayano Iida reminded Mashiro Shiina as she got off.

"No problem, Ayano."

"Okay, goodbye then."

"Hahahaha... Little Mashiro is back! Hurry up, junior, you're almost done."

Shiina Mashiro opened the door and entered the house, only to see Kamiigusa Misaki with her eyes shining and drooling as she stood guard in front of the kitchen counter.

Inside the kitchen counter, Jiang Jing's knife flashed sharply, leaving afterimages as thin slices of meat, as delicate as cicada wings, appeared neatly on the cutting board.

The slices of meat are glossy and shiny, with white marbling mixed in with the pink color; this is top-grade Wagyu beef from Japan.

And after Shiina Mashiro walked over, she saw that the long kitchen counter was filled with plates of sashimi, each plate of sashimi with a different presentation.

Some of the pale red fish fillets are four millimeters thick and a finger's width, layered and stacked to form a lion shape. At the very front is a lion's head carved from a large red radish, lifelike in its appearance.

The surrounding area is also decorated with red radishes, white radishes, and green cucumbers, carved with red flowers and green leaves, resembling a lion lying in the grass. The knife skills are amazing.

Another dish features a mountain made of frozen white tofu, with coils of shredded meat wrapped around it like a rope, resembling a blood dragon coiled around an iceberg. The dragon's head is also carved from a carrot, perfectly capturing the essence of the dish, exuding a subtle majesty amidst its ferocity.

Around the Blood Dragon, various glacial animals were also carved from white radishes, each one as lifelike and incredibly realistic.

On the stove behind the kitchen counter, a large pot was simmering with a rich, spicy hot pot base that was spicy but not pungent, with a mellow and fragrant numbing flavor. Just smelling Shiina Mashiro made one instinctively start to swallow.

The fish was a nearly two-meter-long piece of belly meat, weighing over ten kilograms, which Jiang Jing bought for over 1.8 million yen at Kyoto's largest seafood market, dozens of miles away.

The hot pot broth being simmered is made by Jiang Jing using dozens of spices and Chinese herbs. It has a rich and numbing spiciness that is not too strong, and it will not cause internal heat after eating. It also has the function of regulating qi, blood and stomach.

Of course, these are all secondary considerations; the main thing is that the hot pot base tastes delicious.

For Jiang Jing, who doesn't care about being broke but is also fine with money, now that he has 100 million yen, he certainly won't treat himself badly, so tonight he plans to have a meal of tuna sashimi and hot pot.

The best part of the fish was made into sashimi, the less desirable part was mixed with vegetables, and the A4-sized cut of beef and beef that Jiang Jingfei bought in Kansai were the ingredients for tonight's hot pot.

As for whether using tuna meat in hot pot is too strange, does Jiang Jing need to care?

Of course, he didn't tell Misaki any of this, only that it was tuna and Wagyu beef, and that there was a huge price difference between Japanese bluefin tuna and tuna, and between Wagyu beef and top-grade Wagyu beef.

"Haha... Little Shiro is in for a treat tonight. My junior said he bought a piece of tuna belly at the supermarket. We're going to have a good meal tonight."

"I'm going to furiously swat the Blood Lion Head and devour the Blood Dragon alive, hahahaha..." Seeing that Jiang Jing was about to finish, Shangjingcao Misaki became more and more excited.

"Junior, junior, why don't you just stop drawing comics and become my personal chef? I'll pay you a very, very high salary every month."
