Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　It's hard to imagine that such a small piece of tofu could contain so many flavors!

　"Wow, this minced meat tastes amazing! Is it made with chicken? Why is it so crispy and incredibly springy!"

　Compared to the fresh, lively tofu that was bumping around everywhere, Yoshino Yuuki had an extremely strong interest in the flavorful, crispy, and incredibly elastic minced soybean meat in her mouth! So she looked up and asked Shirayuki.

　"No, it's just that the soybeans are put in chicken broth to absorb the essence of the broth, then simply seasoned with salt, crushed, and finally fried in boiling oil to lock in the flavor and set."

　Bai Yuan didn't hide anything and directly revealed how to make the minced meat, referencing Fairy Bei's magical six-flavor Mapo Tofu.

　"The crispy pork made from soybeans—no wonder it's white! The elasticity is amazing; it's truly incredible technology!"

　As she spoke, Erina Nakiri scooped a spoonful of Mapo Tofu and put it in her mouth.

　A tense expression immediately appeared on his face, and he gripped the edges of his chef's uniform tightly with both hands, as if he was worried about something.

　One second, two seconds.

　"Looks like this time it won't happen..."

　The thought had barely crossed Erina Nakiri's mind when a surge of power suddenly welled up within her, causing her to look at Bai Yuan with pleading eyes; he was the only one who could help...

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan immediately took action, quickly heading towards Nakiri Erina, but because Kobayashi Rindou and the others were blocking his way, he was ultimately a step too late.

　Stop!

　Down!"

　Bai Yuan's voice suddenly exploded in Nakiri Erina's ears, carrying immense power.

　Because of this sound, the power emanating from Erina Nakiri slowed down and even paused briefly.

　The next moment, a warm, large hand landed on her shoulder, pouring in boundless internal energy to counterbalance the surging power within her body.

　However, this time the situation is slightly different from the last time. Because of the previous delay, the power of the clothes-tearing is about to burst out, and even if Bai Yuan arrives, he can only suppress it.

　At this moment, Erina Nakiri's chest heaved violently, and her eyes revealed a hint of confusion, as if she was suppressing something, a beast deep in her heart.

　"Hey~"

　A pristine white button popped out from Erina Nakiri's chest, and was caught precisely by Bai Yuan's fingers, nestled between his fingers.

　My gaze couldn't help but drift downwards; beneath the white of the chef's uniform lay an even deeper layer of white! And beyond that, there was a pale purple...

　"You're so cute, hurry up and put your clothes on."

　"What do you mean by 'cute'...?"

　Suppressing the dangerous urge to press his hand down, Bai Yuan calmly stated a sentence and then stood in front of her.

　There was no other way; behind the two of them were Terunori Kuga and the others. If he left, Erina Nakiri would probably lose all face.

　Furthermore, he didn't want Kuga Terunori to see this scene, as it would cause him a subtle discomfort, which can be simply described as possessiveness.

　"I'm sorry, Professor Bai Yuan..."

　Looking into the man's pure and simple eyes, Erina Nakiri suppressed her shyness and blushed as she pulled her ripped clothes tighter.

　However, this action caused Bai Yuan's desire, which he had managed to suppress, to rise again. This guy really has no idea how charming he is!

　"Ah, I wish Hisako were here! But she seems to be in a bad mood. Oh well, it's okay to give her a break once in a while..."

　As she pressed down on her clothes, Erina Nakiri had this thought in her mind. Then she saw Shiro suddenly take off his coat, grab the collar by both hands, and drape it over her shoulders.

　"Wash it clean and return it to me tomorrow."

　Looking at Erina Nakiri's flushed face, Bai Yuan thought to himself that she was cute, then turned his head and looked at the others.

　Everyone else present was puzzled, not understanding Bai Yuan's sudden action, let alone Nakiri Erina's unexpected shyness.

　Only Kobayashi Rindou had a thoughtful expression on his face.

　"Alright, continue enjoying your meal."

　Seeing that Erina Nakiri had changed into his coat, Shirayu reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder to prevent the power of his cooking from being too strong and causing her to have the urge to rip her clothes off again.

　Thinking of the clothes being torn off, Bai Yuan thought of that deep white color, which was like a black hole in the universe, capable of sucking in everything in the world!

　"Ah."

　Feeling the lingering warmth of her coat, Erina Nakiri's face remained flushed, and she inexplicably felt as if she were being held tightly in her arms.

　Although she knew her thoughts were shameless and brazen, Bai Yuan was right beside her, and she was even wearing his clothes...

　Once the thought came to mind, it was impossible to put it out of her head. Out of the corner of her eye, Erina Nakiri glanced at Bai Yuan, and her heart couldn't help but race.

　He shook his head frantically, trying to banish all the slightly suggestive thoughts, then looked at the white Mapo Tofu in front of him and swallowed hard.

　Without hesitation, Erina Nakiri scooped up a spoonful and swallowed it. A myriad of flavors spread in her mouth, bringing a faint look of enjoyment to her face.

　The chili peppers warmed me up from head to toe.

　The power to tear off her clothes became ineffective under the balance of Bai Yuan's internal energy, allowing her to enjoy the food in front of her without any worries.

　No wonder!

　With each bite of white Mapo Tofu, the previous bite seemed to trigger some kind of chemical reaction, directly affecting the deepest parts of the body...

　Chapter Ninety-Six: Dark Training, Hisako Shinto's Lament

　"uh-huh..."

　The sudden weakness in my legs, and the waves of impact deep within my body.

　As if she had expected this, Erina Nakiri reached out and steadied herself on the table, her breathing noticeably heavier than before.

　When she was about to scoop out her third spoonful, the plate in front of her had been completely emptied, and not even the sauce on top was left!

　To be precise, the plate in front of her was already empty as soon as she finished scooping the second spoonful. She ate the most of Kobayashi Rindou, finishing a third of it.

　At this moment, the girl's cheeks were exceptionally rosy, because the unique numbing and spicy flavor of Mapo Tofu made her body feel hot and her breathing heavy.

　"Gurgle~ Hmm~ Hmm~ Ne~"

　I closed my eyes to try and calm myself, but in an instant I was plunged into a hallucination.

　Influenced by the flavor of Mapo Tofu, she felt as if she had stepped into a hot pot made of special white chili oil!

　Countless white chili oils crawled up her body, relentlessly attacking her interior. The capsaicin brought a faint tingling sensation, making her groan involuntarily.

　This feeling! It's truly a pure mix of pain and pleasure!

　The others felt much the same way; the numbing, spicy, and scalding hot Mapo Tofu had put them into a hallucination. When they came to their senses, Bai...

　The rich, dark chili oil has already seeped into every part of the body.

　Although nothing has changed in their external world, the scenes in their hallucinations and the tangible sensations in their bodies remain vivid in their memories.

　"This feeling is just... ah!"

　On the other side, due to the influence of God's Tongue, Erina Nakiri straightened her thighs, tilted her hips slightly forward, and arched her whole body.

　The group looked over and saw that her five fingers were gripping the table tightly. The strong impact made her eyes roll back and she almost fainted.

　The lingering charm.

　It completely exploded a minute after I ate the white Mapo Tofu!

　Although the other people's tongues were not as sensitive as God's Tongue, they still grabbed the table next to them and gasped for breath.

　"What terrible food! This is the first time I've ever felt this way after tasting a dish! It's an incredible feeling!"

　Looking at the empty plate in front of him, without even a trace of soup left, Kobayashi Rindou's eyes were wary, as if he were looking at some kind of taboo.

　Although Tadokoro Megumi and Yoshino Yuuki didn't say anything, their flushed cheeks said it all; they felt both expectant and shy.

　I long to be covered in chili oil again, to feel the waves of stimulation it brings, yet I feel shy about the intensity of the stimulation, as if Bai Yuan is controlling everything invisibly.

　"thump."

　"Please accept me as your disciple, Master Bai Yuan!"

　At the same time, a "thump" rang in everyone's ears, bringing them back to their senses and causing them to turn their gazes in that direction.

　Then they discovered that the person kneeling down was none other than Kuga Terunori, who had initially questioned Bai Yuan's strength!

　At this moment, Kuga Terunori was looking at Bai Yuan with great enthusiasm. Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to him, Bai Yuan also looked over and immediately began to kowtow.

　He didn't have anything to say; he just wanted to express his sincerity.

　"Bang bang bang."

　The sound of someone banging their head on the ground was particularly clear in the quiet classroom. Bai Yuan looked at everything in front of him, but his expression did not change much.

　It was as if they already knew all along.

　Indeed, this was the case. After becoming the leader of the dark underworld, countless people came to challenge him, and some even knelt down and became his disciples after failing.

　After all, finding a good chef in the culinary world is incredibly difficult!

　For this reason, some beautiful women even offered themselves to him, but in Bai Yuan's eyes at the time, they were nothing more than skeletons who coveted his fame.

　Although he planned to build a harem, he wasn't truly accepting all women. Otherwise, if someone found out his weakness, he would be doomed!

　For him, a physical relationship devoid of emotion is less fulfilling than cooking a couple more dishes; at least that would make him feel satisfied and fulfilled.

　However, Bai Yuan can handle this calmly.

　Others are not so good at it.

　The sudden change startled everyone else present, especially Kobayashi Rindou, who covered his mouth with his hand, his face full of surprise.

　That guy, Kuga Terunori, who used to be so proud, has now lowered his head and is kowtowing to someone who is only a few years older than him?!

　Was it because the gap in strength was too great that you put aside the idea of ​​surpassing him and instead became his disciple?

　The others remained silent, but their faces were filled with shock. They were caught in an awkward situation, unsure whether to stay or leave.

　At that moment, they were all internally complaining.

　How could anyone become a disciple in front of so many people?! Do you think this is like asking for a red envelope during Chinese New Year?! They even kowtowed so forcefully.

　"No."

　Looking at the man in front of him who kept kowtowing and then stared at him intently, Bai Yuan chose to refuse without hesitation.

　"why?"

　Seeing Bai Yuan's decisive refusal, Kuga Terunori's body stiffened, and he raised his head to ask in disbelief.

　This guy was just expressing his admiration for him, even patting him on the shoulder to encourage him, how come he's suddenly become so indifferent?!

　"It's just that I don't want to; there's no special reason."

　Once you take on a disciple, you have to take responsibility. If it weren't for Alice Nakiri helping him back then, Bai Yuan wouldn't have been able to take her on as a disciple, and the same goes for others.

　Although he admired Kuga Terunori's courage, admiration was one thing, but actually taking him on as a disciple felt a bit troublesome.

　Moreover, courage without ability is not respectable in his eyes; it was only because he was reminiscing about his past self that he praised him a couple of times.

　Did this guy misunderstand something?

　He fought a duel with a master of the dark cuisine world, and the price he paid for his defeat was his hands and feet!

　The more serious ones involved branding someone on the chest with a mark indicating that the food was unpalatable, disqualifying them from being a chef, or even throwing them into the Yangtze River to feed the fish if they lost. Such bets have been made before!

　Fortunately, he won in the end.

　They won every battle.

　With his astonishing record, he passed the Dark Cuisine World's Chef Lin's assessment and earned the title of Hundred-Victory General, Bai Yuan.

　It implies that he is invincible and unbeatable!

　At the same time, he also gained the respect of all the strong in the dark cuisine world, because that was originally a place that admired strength.

　Everyone started to feel honored to be challenged by him, and they would do their best to prepare each time. No one mentioned the punishment for the loser anymore.

　That was also the year when Bai Yuan's strength improved rapidly!

　"I simply don't want to..."

　Looking at the eyes

　As the god gradually emptied his mind, seemingly ignoring Bai Yuan, Kuga Terunori murmured to himself, unsure of what to say for a moment.

　The reason was so straightforward that he couldn't find any angle to persuade him, and even had many things he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

　"Is there really not even the slightest possibility?"
