Taixuan Swordplay, the Mirror Clear of Dust

Bronya had never tasted this before. That aggressive bright red color made her uneasy. The iron pot was set over the fire, and a large bucket of purified water was poured into it. The flames and cold air began a prolonged tug-of-war.

"This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever made as a chef." Zhao Bai sat down and sighed. "Once the water boils, add the hotpot base, then add the ingredients one by one. When have I ever suffered such humiliation?"

"..."

Bronya found it hard to understand. Did chefs not eat instant noodles?

The scarlet color did not fill the entire hotpot. Zhao Bai pulled out another suspicious-looking packet of liquid, milky white and containing pork bones and goji berries. It was probably a mild soup base. For some reason, Bronya felt relieved when she saw it.

The flames blazed fiercely.

Yet the water took a long time to boil. During the time it took to heat the water from room temperature to boiling, who knew how much heat had been wasted for nothing.

Zhao Bai seemed not to have considered this and scratched his head in confusion.

Bronya sighed.

Heavy Cannon Rabbit appeared, its thin, transparent repulsion field enveloping the small snow pit like a transparent tent.

The water soon came to a boil.

Zhao Bai hurriedly added the hotpot base, then took out all kinds of side dishes from the sled and placed them into the two distinctly colored sections of the yin-yang hotpot. Steam rose and escaped through a small opening at the top of the repulsion field.

Zhao Bai picked up a slice of beef tripe from the spicy pot with his chopsticks.

"This isn't spicy."

"I don't believe you."

Taixu Sword Qi, Dustless Mirror

Awoo~

Bronya's face quickly turned red.

She said nothing.
