Idle Alchemy

Chapter 188

The flickering firelight revealed just how unusual things were in the kitchen. The glare that had stung everyone's eyes had sent the cameraman stumbling back several steps.

Damn it, what on earth was Li Wenchuan doing?

At that moment, everyone was immensely grateful that this was not an open-plan kitchen. Otherwise, how could that burst of flame not have frayed every last nerve?

Jiang Hansheng rose from the sofa and stared fixedly at the kitchen for a long while without speaking.

The cameraman trembled. "Should we... should we go take a look?"

"The flames are still going... He hasn't said anything, so he should be fine." Jiang Hansheng lied through his teeth. "You have to trust him. Even good chefs can set their pans on fire while cooking."

"..."

But they had not made a flaming mountain!

The comments were speechless. Watching wave after wave of firelight, countless thoughts ran through their minds.

"Li Wenchuan, are you refining pills in there?"

"Are we really not going in? I think he's about to burn down the house."

"He could draw talismans on that variety show last time. At this point, I'd think it was normal if you told me he could refine pills."

"Normal +1. Let's hope he really is refining pills."

"Husband, I don't dare eat this meal!"

The door opened, and the firelight instantly died out. A wisp of greenish smoke slipped through the crack in the door. Everyone present caught a strange yet oddly familiar scent, one they could not quite describe.

The cameraman twitched his nose, searching his memories for the smell. Seeing Jiang Hansheng's ugly expression, he asked curiously, "What's wrong, Teacher Jiang?"

He could swear that terror had flashed across Jiang Hansheng's face for an instant.

"Charcoal. It's charcoal. Can't you smell it?"
