After serving everyone here, no one dared sneak a bite. They all sat upright in their seats.

Finally, at Xue Ye's command, everyone gathered their courage and began eating.

After all, they had not forgotten yesterday's painful experience.

The food was good, but the process had been too agonizing.

Some of the stronger soul masters began eating as well.

After taking a bite, they did not collapse and foam at the mouth as they had imagined.

They seemed perfectly fine.

One of them even remarked, "It tastes really good!"

There was no danger, and it was delicious.

No one suspected it was fake.

After all, different foods had different effects, and their side effects varied too.

After hearing that it was tasty and had no side effects, the noble ministers and soul masters all lowered their heads and began stuffing themselves.

They really did look like pigs raised in a pigsty...

Worried that the truth would be exposed, Starry Sky quickly took his wife Underworld's hand and left.

He also moved that thousand-year-old peach tree away.

Hopefully, after tomorrow, no one would mention Raiden's cooking again!

They secretly returned to Blue Tyrant Academy. He wondered whether his General wife was still there.

He also wondered whether Poison Douluo and Yu Yuanzhen were still alive.

But first, he had to find his wife Mei. He was craving food and wanted Mei to make him some boxed lunches.

When he arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy's kitchen, Starry Sky heard people arguing inside from a long way off.

The voices were all too familiar to them.

Weren't they Raiden Shogun and Raiden Mei?

Wonderful! Raiden Mei was finally putting Raiden Shogun in her place.

They were saved from now on.

When the group poked their heads out and looked into the kitchen—

They were utterly dumbfounded.

Raiden Mei was actually teaching Raiden Shogun how to cook?

Raiden Mei looked as though she was about to explode with rage.

Looking around the kitchen, it was an utter mess. Many places had been scorched black, as if something had exploded.

Starry Sky sucked in a breath. Raiden Shogun entering a kitchen was a disaster for the kitchen.

No matter why Mei was teaching the General to cook, the group watched curiously.

They saw Raiden Shogun holding a ladle beside the pot, doing who knew what.

"Why are you so close to the pot? Are you feeding it milk?" Mei asked, suppressing her fury.

Raiden Shogun looked up helplessly, not knowing what she had done wrong again.

"General, I'm begging you, stop cooking, please. If you keep this up, we won't have a kitchen left."

Even someone as gentle-tempered as Raiden Mei was having trouble enduring Raiden Shogun.

From Starry Sky's childhood until now, she did not know how many times she had taught Raiden Shogun.

Yet the results were always just as terrible.

She had thought Raiden Shogun would never enter a kitchen again, but who knew where she had gotten the confidence today to start cooking once more.

She had even taken it for people to eat.

The consequences were obvious.

After being praised, Raiden Shogun insisted on cooking for everyone.

And today, she had wanted to enter the kitchen and cook for Blue Tyrant Academy's students.

How could Raiden Mei let her ruin those children?

But she simply could not stop Raiden Shogun.

So she settled for the next best thing and planned to teach Raiden Shogun how to cook. That way, there would not be any more accidents.

In the end, the outcome was obvious.

The kitchen had been wrecked beyond recognition, and Raiden Shogun could not even make egg fried rice.

It was almost time for the children to have dinner.

Without food, wouldn't Blue Tyrant Academy's students start howling?

After all, although Raiden Mei had only been here for a day or two, her cooking was simply far too delicious.

Blue Tyrant Academy's students had completely fallen in love with the taste.

If they could not eat Mei's food tonight, they really would bash their heads against the kitchen pillars!

"Captain? You're back? Hurry up and take the General away."

The moment Mei saw Starry Sky, she looked as if she had seen a savior. She quickly pushed Raiden Shogun from behind and shoved her over to Starry Sky.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could not help backing away.

Starry Sky's body trembled slightly, and he wanted to run too.

But he wanted to help Sister Mei.

So he could only bite the bullet, grab Raiden Shogun's arm, force out a smile, and say,

"General, Poison Douluo has a magical place. There's... there's a natural yin-yang pot there. Perhaps if you cook there, my wife... it might taste even better."

Starry Sky could only silently apologize to Poison Douluo in his heart.

"A yin-yang pot?" Raiden Shogun's eyes lit up as she hurriedly said, "Take me there."

"Let's find Poison Douluo first. Only he knows where the yin-yang pot is."

Sunset Forest was quite vast, and because of its environment, poisonous miasma was everywhere.

Finding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would be rather difficult.

Why go looking for trouble when someone could lead the way?

Who was Poison Douluo?

Raiden Shogun did not know.

In any case, Starry Sky only needed to lead the way next.

Starry Sky took Raiden Shogun away, and Raiden Mei let out a tremendous sigh of relief.

She had finally driven away the troublesome person.

Otherwise, she could forget about making food for the children today.

Poison Douluo and Yu Yuanzhen should be in the reception room.

He wondered whether they had died after eating the General's cooking.

Starry Sky felt that they probably had not died.

After all, he had heard that so many people in Tian Dou Imperial Palace had eaten the General's food yesterday without any casualties.

Instead, every single one of them had improved their cultivation.

When they pushed open the reception room's door, they saw several people sprawled haphazardly across the floor.

Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the two Titled Douluo were all lying stiffly on the ground.

The foam had long since disappeared from their mouths, but the purple stains left behind showed just how much pain they had suffered earlier.

"Ah! So—" Xiao Wu jumped in fright. Just as she was about to cry out that it was like hell, Starry Sky covered her mouth.

Talking badly about the General wife now, especially about her cooking—

Were they not afraid that if the General wife got angry, she would kill them all?

After warning Xiao Wu with his eyes, Starry Sky and the two girls quickly woke the people on the floor.

They all looked utterly confused.

Where was I?

What was I doing?

Who was I?

When they saw Raiden Shogun in purple, staring at them with solemn indifference—

Everyone's bodies shuddered violently.

"M-My Soul Power rose another level! This is... this is amazing!"

Qin Ming had experienced it once before, so he recovered quickly this time.

He immediately cheered.

He was incomparably excited.

"Soul Power... increased?" Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan also felt the Soul Power within their bodies.

Then, they too were overjoyed!

Naturally, their Soul Power had increased as well.

Even Poison Douluo, that old poisoner, could not help checking his Soul Power.

"Cough, cough, cough! This old man... this old man improved too!!"

"What? Old poisoner, you improved too?!"

Yu Yuanzhen stared at Poison Douluo in utter shock. Poison Douluo was a Titled Douluo.

Every level of advancement for a Titled Douluo was incomparably difficult. If eating a meal could raise one's level, he would be willing too.

But when Yu Yuanzhen checked his own Soul Power, why had he not improved?

Could it be because his Soul Power had already surpassed level ninety-five, and he needed to eat more?
