Those "Miracle Moves" in the Kitchen!

They caved that quickly?!

Seeing Xue Wuji and Xue Mingtong trying to shift the blame onto each other, Su Xian shook his head in disappointment.

They were all brothers—how could they shirk responsibility like this?!

This made things difficult for him. Didn't they know he had trouble making choices?!

"You're giving me a headache. Since each of you says it's the other's fault, then you can both be punished." Su Xian sighed.

(⊙o⊙) What?

Hearing that, Xue Wuji and Xue Mingtong were instantly dumbfounded.

They had argued back and forth all this time, and one sentence of "both be punished" settled it? Then what the hell had they been arguing for?!

Damn it!

"If you have any objections, we can talk about them slowly."

"Don't worry. Your Big Brother isn't an unreasonable man. I've always convinced people with reason."

Seeing that the two still seemed unconvinced, Su Xian gave them a harmless smile. Then a golden longsword appeared in his hand and, with a rriiip, sliced open the ground.

Xue Wuji and Xue Mingtong's faces looked as though they had eaten flies: ...

This was what he meant by convincing people with reason?!

They might not have read much, but he shouldn't lie to them like that!

"No objections. Whatever Big Brother says goes," Xue Wuji and Xue Mingtong immediately replied.

The sword before them seemed to contain a strange power. If it suddenly erupted, the two of them would have no room to resist.

Worthy of being a Big Brother who convinced people with reason—they respected reason!

"That's more like it."

Su Xian nodded in satisfaction and put away his sword. Then he said in an unquestionable tone, "You two, go help in the kitchen. Don't just sit here eating for free!"

(⊙o⊙) What?

"What, do you want to have a talk with my sword...?"

"Ahem... no need. We're going. Right now."

"Mm, that's more like it."

Watching the two enter the kitchen "cheerfully" under his persuasion, Su Xian smiled.

A few minutes later...

As chicken feathers began drifting out of the kitchen, Su Xian's face immediately darkened. He hurriedly plated the dishes and covered them.

"Second Brother, you call that plucking a chicken?"

Looking at the whole chicken Xue Wuji brought over with an aggrieved expression, Su Xian suddenly felt an urge to hit someone.

The outer feathers were gone, but it was still covered in white down.

If this could go into the pot, then he wouldn't eat anything today!

What the hell was he supposed to eat, feathers?!

"The white hairs are stuck on too tightly. I really couldn't pull them out." Xue Wuji looked utterly wronged, pitiful enough that he was nearly in tears.

He had never done this kind of work in his life. It was too dirty and miserable.

Wuwuwu~

He had come to mooch a meal, not do chores!!

"You couldn't pull them out?"

Su Xian froze slightly. He looked at where Xue Wuji had plucked the feathers, then at the dry chicken carcass, and instantly felt like giving up on life.

"You plucked them out dry? You didn't use hot water?"

"Why would I need hot water? Couldn't I pull them out anyway?" Xue Wuji looked completely baffled.

Chicken feathers were not hard to pull out. He only needed to use a little force, though the fine down was somewhat difficult to deal with.

Su Xian: ...

You really went with the primitive, hardcore method of plucking a chicken dry!

I'm impressed!!

Rubbing his forehead with a headache, Su Xian truly did not know what to say.

Especially when he thought of how this chicken had suffered such cruel treatment even after death, he shuddered.

"Second Brother, you need to scald the chicken with hot water before plucking the feathers. That's how you get it clean."

Seeing that Xue Wuji did not even know this basic common sense, Xue Mingtong felt a little sorry for him.

All he knew every day was throwing punches and competing with others. He never brought his brain along at all!

Unlike himself. His cultivation talent might have been a little lacking, but he was skilled in every other aspect. Take his insight just now—chicken feathers needed boiling water. Big Brother had barely opened his mouth, and he understood.

And as for sorting cabbage leaves, he was absolutely an expert. Just look at these clean, pale leaves.

Sigh~ Some things were simply innate. He wanted to keep a low profile too, but his strength would not allow it!

"Third Brother, stop talking like it's none of your business. If you're so capable, you do it!" Seeing Xue Mingtong talk without feeling the pain, Xue Wuji immediately flew into a rage.

Sorting cabbage was so easy. Unlike his task, which was both hard and dirty. This was just too difficult for him!

At that, Xue Mingtong had nothing to say. He obediently went back to sorting the cabbage, lest he get called out.

He was not stupid. Sorting cabbage leaves was so easy. With this pile alone, he could keep at it for half an hour.

Hehe...

By then, the food would probably be ready, and he could slip away!

Simply... perfect!

Sigh~ "You keep working on that. I'll make the cabbage first."

Looking at the chicken before him, Su Xian replied helplessly, then walked over to Xue Mingtong.

Cabbage was easier to deal with. Given his abilities, he should have finished it long ago.

"Big Brother, I've already finished the cabbage. Look at it—clean and neat, white as snow and smooth as jade. It'll definitely taste good when cooked," Xue Mingtong said proudly.

Su Xian lowered his head and looked at the cabbage, pale as jade with yellow tinges, in the basin. Then he looked at the pile of green cabbage leaves beside it and forced out a smile.

"Third Brother, let's trade a code phrase. The Heavenly King covers the Earthly Tiger?"

"Big Brother, what do you mean?" Xue Mingtong looked confused.

Su Xian: ...

Confirmed. You're not a transmigrator. You're a native!

Then there was nothing more to say!

Thunk!

He brought his forehead down hard on Xue Mingtong's, producing a crisp ring.

"Hiss—ow, ow... Big Brother, what are you doing?!"

Clutching his head and scrambling away, Xue Mingtong roared furiously.

He had done nothing wrong, so why was Big Brother attacking him personally?!

"Back at the residence, do you only eat cabbage hearts and throw away all the leaves?!"

Su Xian gritted his teeth. Those who did not run a household truly did not know the value of food and firewood!

He had actually thrown away all the cabbage leaves. What a waste! Was Su Xian supposed to make stir-fried cabbage and glass noodles entirely from cabbage hearts?!

Anyone who did not know better would think he was a transmigrator too, demanding Su Xian make state-banquet boiled cabbage!

"These leaves can be used too?"

Xue Mingtong froze. He even forgot the pain in his head as he stared at the emerald-green cabbage leaves on the ground in confusion.

He had considered that question while stripping the cabbage leaves, but when he saw that the cabbage became cleaner and purer the farther in he went, he thought there was no problem.

"Do you normally not eat cabbage?" Su Xian asked through clenched teeth, his face dark as ink.

Even if he had never eaten pork, had he never seen a pig run? Did he not possess even this much common sense?!

Damn it!

They were Princes, not immortals who lived apart from the mortal world!

"I usually prefer spinach..." Xue Mingtong explained weakly.

Su Xian: ...

Enough! Enough!

I'm completely convinced. I'm not angry anymore. Even if I were, I couldn't catch my breath...

"Big Brother, what are you doing?!"

Seeing Su Xian pick up the kitchen knife, Xue Mingtong went pale. Xue Wuji rushed over as well and wrapped his arms tightly around him.

"Big Brother, calm down! We can talk this out. We're real brothers!"

Bang! Bang!

Moments later, two figures were kicked out of the kitchen. With a clang, the kitchen door was shut as well.

Please vote, awooo~
