Chapter 266 Effect
"Regret? Roger, you are such a joke."

Xiang En smiled and said, "I am sure that you will regret not taking out this better kitchen knife earlier. Luo Xie, I will inform the Elders Council about your secret collection of kitchen utensils. When the elders know that you dared to hinder the major events of the dark cuisine world, they will definitely punish you! Maybe this matter will even reach the ears of that adult. By then, it will not be as simple as punishing you. That adult will make you wish you were dead!"

When he heard the words "that gentleman", Roger shuddered violently and his tone softened: "You misunderstood. I didn't take out this kitchen knife because it is not suitable for you."

"Not suitable? Can you tell me why you are not suitable?"

Roger opened his mouth, then closed it helplessly.

He couldn't say that this kitchen knife was made for Xu Qing.

Being a member of the dark culinary world, he makes kitchen utensils for the dark culinary world's biggest enemy. This is a betrayal of the dark culinary world.

If he dares to say that, the consequences will definitely be dire, very dire!
But as a knife maker, how could he control his emotions when he saw such outstanding knife skills?

When seeing Xu Qing using that ordinary kitchen knife, it was like seeing a drop of ink dripping on a perfect picture. It made people feel uncomfortable all over and they wanted to snatch the kitchen knife away and replace it with a better one.

Even if the swordsmith told others about his obsession, no one would believe him.

Xiang En sneered, "Huh, you can't tell? It's obvious that you are reluctant to give us the best things, and only give us inferior products. But considering that you made good kitchen utensils, I will plead with the Great Elder on your behalf to spare your life. As for this kitchen knife, it will be your evidence of guilt. Luo Xie, you should reflect on yourself."

After that, everyone left, leaving only a few men in black to guard Roger outside the door.

Roger sighed helplessly, "You will regret it, alas..."

Xiang En touched the kitchen knife in his hand and became more and more reluctant to let it go.

Elder Huang suggested, "Master Xiang En, why don't you try out the effect of this kitchen knife?"

"Alright."

Xiang En said, looking around.

Suddenly she walked to the edge of the pool, and the chain knife in her hand pierced through the fish's body like a sharp sword, picked up a black fish, and threw it on the chopping board.

Then she wielded a kitchen knife to cut open the fish's belly.

Just this simple action made Xiang En feel inexplicably comfortable.

The kitchen knife in my hand was extremely sharp, and cutting open the fish belly was like a hot knife cutting butter. The smooth and natural feeling transferred from the blade to the palm of my hand was so comfortable that it made all the hairs on my body relax.

The touch was so charming that Xiang En couldn't help but quickly use the kitchen knife to remove the scales, bones, and internal organs of the black fish, and then cut the fish meat into crystal clear slices.

No matter how you hold it, no matter at what angle you move it, the knife shows an unparalleled sense of fluidity, without any hindrance. It seems to be integrated with the palm of your hand, becoming a natural extension of your body.

The smooth feel is intoxicating. Every swing of the knife is like flowing water, precise and natural, which makes people fascinated by it involuntarily.

After processing the black fish, Xiang En looked at the kitchen knife in her hand in surprise. She had used many kitchen knives made by Roger before, but none of them gave her this feeling.

It seems that every moment of holding the kitchen knife and cutting vegetables is a great enjoyment, a massage and soothing from body to mind, clearing away all the stress, fatigue, and negative emotions, leaving only a comfortable feeling.

No wonder Roger was reluctant to take it out. With such a famous sword, who would be willing to give it to someone else?
Xiang En held the kitchen knife tightly and didn't want to give it to anyone else.

After the cooking competition was over, she kept the kitchen knife.

I think the elders of the dark cooking world will not argue with her, a meritorious minister, because of a kitchen knife. After testing the sharpness and smoothness of the kitchen knife, it is time to test the intention behind it.

I don’t know if it really works?
This was Xiang En’s first attempt and he was unsure.

After she simply stir-fried the cut black fish meat, she picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, chewing it carefully and savoring it.

The meat of black fish is firm and elastic. This firm texture allows the fish to better lock in juice during the cooking process, ensuring that the meat is tender and juicy.

Black fish meat has a light sweetness and fragrance, and it also contains oil, which gives it a richer and more delicious taste. After proper cooking, this delicious taste collides with the seasoning to create a more wonderful and complex taste that makes people salivate.

But that’s not the point of this dish.

No matter how delicious the black fish tastes, or how exquisite Xiang En's knife skills are, if there is no thought put into the dish, the dish will be worthless.

So what about the intention?
Xiang En slowly savored the dish in his mouth, and suddenly felt something strange.

It seems that there is a wonderful feeling spreading along the taste buds on the tip of the tongue and reaching deeper into the heart.

It feels like someone is gently knocking on my heart, allowing that wonderful feeling to gradually step into my heart.

At this moment, not only Xiang En, but several other elders of the dark cuisine world were also savoring the flavor of the fish.

They felt this wonderful feeling almost at the same time.

Suddenly, the scenery in their eyes seemed to change instantly, and they were like a fish swimming deep into the unknowable ocean, feeling unprecedented tranquility and peace, which almost made people fall into a deep sleep and never wake up.

They had never felt such peace and tranquility before. It was as if their whole body and mind had melted into the ocean, floating up and down with the waves.

This is not something that simple deliciousness can give; it is the naturalness and peace that the soul feels. This unique feeling instantly surpasses all the delicacies they have ever tasted.

It turns out that the mind is such a scary thing.

Only those who have truly tasted it can feel this strong impact, this kind of touch and pleasure from the heart.

No wonder they always lose when it comes to affection, because this kind of feeling is something the human heart cannot resist.

"Is this what you mean by heart? It feels so wonderful!"

"I have never experienced this feeling before. I just tasted a delicious dish, but it felt like I had a good sleep. My heart felt a peace and tranquility that I had never experienced before."

"Yes, I am old, my heart is always restless, and my sleep is very shallow. But at this moment, this wonderful feeling makes my heart calm instantly. I really want to fall asleep immediately and sleep till the end of the world!"

The elders were full of praise for this wonderful feeling of the heart.

Xiang En looked at the kitchen knife in his hand with more and more surprise.

I didn't expect that what the adult said was true! The spirit and energy that the knife maker infused into the kitchen utensils could actually arouse the heart!

Now they have the confidence to deal with Xu Qing.

Both parties have the intention, and she has such a magical kitchen knife in her hand, so Xiang En is full of confidence.
