Why Won't This Scallion Cut?

As Song Shuhang went downstairs to buy a kitchen knife, his Mom Song ran to the door and called out to him on the stairs, "A-Hang Shuhang, when you come back, bring back a bottle of soy sauce too. We've run out."

"Okay, got it." Song Shuhang waved his hand and replied.

"Be careful on the road," Mom Song said as she turned and closed the door.

After Song Shuhang gone far away...

On the original cabinet, behind a box, a tender scallion has appeared!

"Tsk tsk tsk, foolish human, do you really think you can toy with me? How laughable! I have been cultivating for over three hundred years! How dare you threaten me!" the Onion Spirit said smugly.

She wasn't taken away by Song Shuhang... The one Song Shuhang took away was just an ordinary tender scallion.

No matter how useless the Onion Spirit may be, she is still a demon. Besides possessing the magic of 'Earth Escape' after revealing her true form, she has another skill that all demons have: making herself invisible to ordinary people! -- Of course, cultivators who have completed the Foundation Establishment stage can still see the invisible forms of demons.

But that's not a problem, since once she becomes invisible, Mom Song and the others won't be able to see Onion Lady anymore!

Just now, while Song Shuhang was tidying up the black box inside the house, Onion Lady quietly 'invisibly' entered the kitchen. Then she secretly picked up a scallion sprout that was about the same size as herself and still had roots.

Then, she put the scallion she had picked up back in its original spot. She then rubbed it vigorously with her body, up and down, leaving her scent on it to prevent Song Shuhang from noticing anything amiss.

Her true form was hidden behind a small box on the cabinet.

After doing all this, she began to patiently wait for an opportunity—the opportunity after Song Shuhang left and took that tender scallion with him.

As soon as Song Shuhang leaves, her chance to escape will come!

After that, things went exceptionally smoothly; she was incredibly lucky today!

Without giving it much thought, Song Shuhang grabbed the tender scallion and left home to buy a cleaver...

But Onion Lady wasn't in a hurry. She listened as Song Shuhang's footsteps grew farther and farther away, and the scent on Song Shuhang's body also faded into the distance.

At that moment, Onion Lady popped out from behind the box!

"Now it's time for me to escape! I must get far away from here and absolutely cannot be caught by that guy named 'Song Shuhang' again," Onion Lady thought to herself.

She never intended to harm Song Shuhang's family—not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't dare!

Because she could vaguely sense that there were two other powerful auras in this house!

These two auras were simply too powerful. In Onion Lady's perception, these two auras were like the sun and the moon in the sky, impossible to ignore!

Therefore, Onion Lady never intended to cause a big scene; she just wanted to slink away in disgrace...

"Long live freedom!" Onion Lady roared in a low voice, then quietly peeked half of her onion body out from the cabinet, preparing to escape!

Just then, Mom Song's voice suddenly rang out. "Huh? How come there's a scallion here?"

Then, Onion Lady felt her body tighten, and she found herself being grabbed by Mom Song!

Actually, with Onion Lady's strength, dodging Mom Song's grab shouldn't have been a problem at all... However, just now, one of the two powerful auras in this house seemed to make a move and let out a low cry.

Onion Lady was startled, and then she was taken away by Mom Song!

"I don't remember putting a scallion here," Mom Song said, looking puzzled, but she still led Onion Lady into the kitchen.

Then, she was blended into the small pile of onions.

"Hmm, we're running low on scallions. How about some stir-fried lamb with scallions?" Mom Song murmured.

Upon hearing this, Onion Lady was immediately startled. "Damn it, what does she want to do? Is she planning to chop me up and cook me?"

Just as she was thinking this, Mom Song raised the kitchen knife and 'snap' chopped the scallion in her hand!

Damn it! I am a great demon who has cultivated for three hundred years! How dare you treat me like a scallion? What a joke!

Onion Lady was furious. "Just because I'm not showing my power, does she think I'm some kind of leek?!"

So she decided to demonstrate her power and show this human how terrifying she was.

But then, one of the two powerful auras in the room suddenly emitted a strange groan.

Upon hearing this sound, Onion Lady immediately shrank back.

Fine, fine, let's just cut it then!

In any case, a regular kitchen knife wouldn't be able to harm her.

When this foolish human realizes the kitchen knife can't cut her, he'll probably give up, right?

Click... Click...

Mom Song chopped the scallions with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, she had chopped all the scallions in her hand, except for the Onion Lady, into small strips.

Onion Lady silently glanced at her fellow creatures who had been 'shattered to pieces' beside her.

How pitiful, so incredibly pitiful. These were all her kind, and they were torn to pieces by humans just like that... I feel a little sad and heartbroken.

"Huh? Why is there one that I can't cut off?" At this moment, Mom Song looked at the perfectly intact Onion Lady with a puzzled expression.

Could there be something wrong with the kitchen knife?

She pressed down on Onion Lady's body in confusion, and then slashed down hard again.

When the knife was indeed aimed at Onion Lady's body, it felt like cutting into incredibly tough cowhide, unable to penetrate at all. Moreover, when Mom Song exhausted her strength, the cleaver in her hand actually emitted a slight rebound force!

"?" Mom Song looked puzzled.

"Stunned now? Stunned now? Although my cultivation is low, I am still a great demon who has lived for three hundred years. How could mere human iron knives possibly hurt me?" Onion Lady said smugly—of course, Mom Song couldn't hear her voice.

"Is the knife too dull?" Mom Song asked, looking at the kitchen knife in her hand.

She then tried using the knife to cut other things, such as lamb and cabbage.

Strange, the knife is very sharp; it cuts things very well.

So Mom Song turned back and tried to cut Onion Lady again... Needless to say, she still couldn't cut her, no matter how she tried.

This is weird!

"Could this not be a scallion, but some kind of scallion model made of some other material?" Mom Song asked doubtfully, picking up the Onion Lady and smelling it.

A strong aroma of scallions wafted through the air. I squeezed it again, and it was definitely a scallion!

Mom Song was dumbfounded.

After a moment of bewilderment, suddenly... Mom Song's eyes lit up!

For some reason, she suddenly remembered Song Shuhang's 'decorative knife'.

Or, how about we try that knife?

Anyway, it's just chopping a scallion, it won't make Shuhang's decorative knife look dirty.

Do what you want to do – this is a fine tradition that Song Shuhang inherited from his Mom Song.

So, holding the Onion Lady, Mom Song rushed into the living room and, under the puzzled gazes of Zhao Yaya and the others, took down the 'decorative knife'.

Then, she rushed back to the kitchen in a flurry of activity!

This is the third update, and it's a little shorter than usual. But I can't keep going... I'm going to rest now. I'll get up early tomorrow and write more. Please don't forget to vote with your monthly tickets!
