Chapter 1183: Chapter 513: A Talking Kitchen Knife? Am I Really the Savior?

Qi Yuan used his ability to see hidden information, coupled with Chen Kangbao’s glib tongue, to hoodwink Jiang Yunxi, who was naive about the world, making her bewildered as a dog, dumbfounded.

"Your gold hairpin was a gift from your uncle..."

"The jade pendant at your waist was made by Profound Ancient, and it is a magic artifact."

"Mm."

"Your armpit hair is a bit long."

"Mm???"

Half a day later, in a courtyard in the city, Jiang Yunxi looked at a house full of ingredients, her expression somewhat dazed.

"The world is full of vicissitudes, Strange Spirits abound, young lady, it is your turn to be the savior," said Chen Kangbao seriously.

"But... what does saving the world have to do with chopping vegetables?"

Jiang Yunxi bought the kitchen knife in a daze and was also taken to a courtyard by Chen Kangbao.

"The Heavenly God once said, ’How can one sweep the world if one does not sweep one’s own house?’

If you do not chop vegetables and hone an unparalleled skill with the knife, how can you eliminate the Strange Spirits?" Chen Kangbao seriously hoodwinked her.

"So, the first step in saving the world is to cut vegetables.

Cut all the cabbages, eggplants, meat... in the house into tiny pieces. This is your first trial.

By the way, remember to wash the vegetables before you start cutting. Don’t get them dirty and waste food."

Jiang Yunxi had a hundred thousand whys in her heart.

She said half in belief and half in doubt, "Alright."

The old man in front of her was really too impressive.

His understanding of her was deeper than her own, assuming the air of a wise man well-versed in the ways of the world.

"I’m free at the moment, so why not give it a try?" thought Jiang Yunxi.

In the kitchen, she looked at the full house of vegetables and meat. This noble young lady finally started her day as a cook.

Outside the yard, in a pavilion.

A man and a woman were playing chess. The black pieces on the board had the advantage, besieging the white pieces. The two had ordinary looks but carried themselves with the air of recluses.

"That old man seems to have some skills, but not much," the woman commented.

The woman was named Yun Li, an Earth-level Army Commander, and the man was named Yun Hu. They were both following the Prince’s order to secretly guard Commandery Princess Jiang Yunxi.

Jiang Yunxi’s personality was carefree and naive. This time, she sneaked away from the Prince’s mansion to join the excitement at Yesan Lake. The Prince was worried and had the two protect her secretly.

Unless absolutely necessary, they would not reveal themselves.

After all, Jiang Yunxi also had cultivation level on her side, plus several magic artifacts to protect her, so ordinary people couldn’t harm her. There was nothing to worry about.

"I’m just curious, how exactly did he persuade the Commandery Princess?" Yun Hu wondered.

The Commandery Princess was innocent and carefree, but she was not a fool.

They followed from afar, only knowing that the Commandress Princess was talking to the old man, unclear of the content of their conversation.

"I guess he’s a grand swindler skilled in the art of deception. When the Commandery Princess is tired of playing, it will be our turn to act," said Yun Li indifferently.

She had little regard for Chen Kangbao.

"Alright," Yun Hu nodded, a smile flickering in his eyes, "this old man indeed has some skills. He could even bamboozle the Commandery Princess into chopping vegetables."

Raised with a gold key in her mouth, the Commandery Princess had never done such menial work.

Now, she was really eating bitterness.

This was quite different from Qi Yuan, who was not destined to enjoy such luxury.

Inside the kitchen, the sounds of chopping echoed one after another.

"Bang bang bang!"

Jiang Yunxi held the kitchen knife firmly, chopping vigorously.

The basket was filled with minced vegetables.

Her arms were sore.

"Ah, so tired, this is more exhausting than cultivating!"

Jiang Yunxi had been washing vegetables for an hour and chopping them for three.

Yet, even with all her efforts, she had done less than a third.

Her hands and arms were in pain, but she persisted.

"The old immortal was right, in those biographical novels I read, the protagonist needed to train to increase strength; do things like stab with a spear a hundred thousand times a day, catch a hundred flies with chopsticks, and chopping vegetables... This is my unique cultivation."

"I never thought that one day, I, Jiang Yunxi, could become the protagonist in a biographical novel."

"Wait, who will write about me?"

"No, I need to keep a diary, record everything that happens every day. When I get back, I’ll hint to Manager Chen to write a book about me!"

Jiang Yunxi let her thoughts wander.

She considered how to embellish herself in her diary.

As for the old immortal mentioning her long armpit hair and wetting the bed, those details could not appear in the diary.

Wait for night to fall, take a bath, and quickly shave those armpits!

At this moment, footsteps were heard.

Jiang Yunxi hurriedly quickened her actions; she couldn’t be looked down upon by the old immortal.

"Not bad, you’re very serious... wait, you’ve only cut this little?" Chen Kangbao’s eyes showed some confusion.

Then, looking at Jiang Yunxi, who was making banging noises, his expression turned helpless, "You... haven’t used a kitchen knife before, the sheath of this knife is still on!"

At first, Qi Yuan created a sheath to protect himself from the stench of blood and flesh.

But later, Qi Yuan thought, since he was going to play the role of a kitchen knife, he should truly become a kitchen knife, to fully immerse himself.

"Ah, a sheath?" Jiang Yunxi was dazed.

Only then did she realize that the kitchen knife she had been using was indeed out of the ordinary.

She looked aggrieved.

No wonder chopping vegetables was so exhausting for her, as she had been chopping through the sheath.

She took out the sheath of the kitchen knife, and suddenly, an ancient, sharp, and reserved kitchen knife appeared before Jiang Yunxi’s eyes.

"How about it, is the kitchen knife worth 999 pieces of silver?" Chen Kangbao said proudly.

Jiang Yunxi took a look... Hmm, it lacked the aura of a high-level magic artifact.

"...Worth it."

Considering the old immortal’s face, it was worth it.

"Finish cutting these vegetables quickly, and I’ll teach you the second step."

Jiang Yunxi’s face showed excitement.

Was the old immortal finally going to teach her some real skills?

"The first step in saving the world is chopping vegetables, and the second step is... making steamed buns."

"Ah?" Jiang Yunxi blinked.

Making steamed buns?

"Yes, making steamed buns."

"Old immortal, is there any deep meaning to this?" Jiang Yunxi asked, puzzled.
