Opening a Restaurant in Honkai

Zhao Bai reminded her softly, but Kiana struggled as if she hadn't heard him.

Her hearing had also failed, just like her sight. It would take time to recover, but Kiana was too strong. Zhao Bai felt his ribs might break. He turned to the terrified girl and recalled all his weapons into the subspace, except for Judas.

"Now, who is blind and foolish?"

Zhao Bai stroked the cross, silently breathing a sigh of relief.

He had been dancing on the edge of a knife since the beginning. If this girl, born from a flower, had tried to attack even slightly, Zhao Bai's lie would have been exposed. But now, the most dangerous moment had passed. All that was left was to harvest.

"Reveal your true form."

Zhao Bai declared loudly, "You are not a Herrscher. It's impossible for you to maintain a human appearance. This person growing from the flower is merely an organ, and your true self is hidden here. I am a merciful person, so I'll give you a chance to choose."

"Will you die maintaining this appearance, or reveal your true self and fight with all your might? Perhaps you can succeed in escaping."

Zhao Bai's rhetoric was flawless.

If this creature could always maintain its human form, he would truly be helpless. But if it revealed its non-human true form—whatever it might be, as long as it wasn't human, it was just ingredients in Zhao Bai's eyes.

At that moment, thirteen spears would end its mistaken life.

The girl cupped her cheeks, her face pale, and said, "Impossible! With so many powerful weapons, who exactly are you?"

"Just a passing chef."

As soon as he spoke, the entire botanical room began to tremble.

Every vine thrashed wildly, and the beautiful girl gradually melted, disappearing completely into the flower's pistil. At the same time, the enormous flower slowly rose. The vines that had once entwined the entire Senba Academy contracted and gathered beneath the flower, forming a massive body.

It was both animal and plant, yet neither.

Four pillar-like legs moved, and the giant beast fled madly. Its swift form, however, appeared differently in Zhao Bai's eyes.

Four legs, a long neck, and a rose covering its body like armor.

Isn't this just an old turtle?!

Since it didn't look human at all, it was ingredients.

Chapter Ten: Plain and Simple Ramen

Zhao Bai's eyes suddenly changed.

The spears slid down silently, each wrapped in chains. This was their innate ability: to project, pursue, and lock onto enemies. The chains would bind the prey layer by layer; they were merely lambs to the slaughter.

"A green turtle, with a flower on its back. I know what you are now—ingredients."

Zhao Bai muttered to himself as he drew out a spear. "Judas is a good thing. The frame is a weapon storage bag. These thirteen chained spears are practically made to be used as fishing spears. I always liked using them when hunting deep-sea fish."

"Now, die."

Zhao Bai's voice was devoid of emotion. His arm swung through the air in a powerful arc, and the spear shot out.

The rapidly fleeing monster felt itself locked on. As if realizing escape was hopeless, its massive body abruptly turned, revealing its fangs to Zhao Bai. Instead of fleeing, it charged at him with incredible speed.
