Chapter 1184: Chapter 513: A Talking Kitchen Knife? Am I Really the Savior?_2

Chopping vegetables I can understand, but why make buns?

"Making buns might look simple," Kangbao continued to spin his yarns, "but it’s actually not that simple.

What your eyes see may not be the truth."

Jiang Yunxi stood in silence, listening to Kangbao’s teachings.

"I have a friend, a dog meat seller. In your eyes, isn’t he guilty of slaughtering many dogs?"

"Yes."

"But in reality, he’s a great benefactor who saved many dogs.

Every time he sold dog meat, he would sell a small amount as if it were much more, and each time he sold one, he saved another.

It might seem like he was doing evil, but he was in fact doing a great good."

Kangbao relayed a stale joke he had heard from Qi Yuan.

Yunxi widened her eyes. She had never encountered the sage-like commenters online nor been baptized by various jokes; hearing such statements initially, she was truly taken in.

"Is that even possible?"

"So, after you finish chopping vegetables, go and make buns.

Sometimes, what you are making may not be buns, but you could be saving all the common people under heaven."

"Making buns can save the common people?" Yunxi was puzzled, feeling that ancient immortals really were different, with their words laden with deep meanings that ordinary people could hardly understand.

"Right," Kangbao silently responded in his heart.

He loved eating buns.

The buns he made satisfied his hunger, which in his view, also saved the people.

He too was among the common folk.

Three days passed, and Yunxi worked diligently.

During this time, she fully dedicated herself to the role of a kitchen maid.

Every day she chopped vegetables, vegetables, and more vegetables, and occasionally made buns.

This lifestyle was something she had never experienced before.

At first, she was tired, bored, and even agitated.

But gradually, she began to enjoy this life, feeling a sense of righteous mission.

It seemed that even these tasks were meaningful.

Hmm, naturally hardy, she faced hardships without complaint.

At night, she dragged her tired body back to her room.

The kitchen knife rested on the dressing table.

She stretched lazily.

"I’m so tired and sleepy, I won’t bathe tonight, I’ll do it when I wake up in the morning.

I need to write in my diary."

"Today was another hardworking day, my knife skills are becoming ever more exquisite, I fear even a grandmaster couldn’t compete with me in vegetable chopping.

Even though I’m tired and sleepy, I must maintain my grace; after returning to my room, after the bath, I went to sleep, ready to greet a beautiful tomorrow."

After completing her diary entry, Yunxi felt satisfied.

Just then, a voice echoed inside her heart.

"Hey, are you lying to yourself?"

"Who?" Yunxi startled, her face filled with shock as she scanned her surroundings.

"Stop looking around; I’m the kitchen knife."

"The kitchen knife?" Yunxi looked at the knife as if it were a ghost, her eyes filled with wariness and confusion.

How could a kitchen knife speak?

Even a Heavenly Artifact couldn’t speak.

"I wasn’t supposed to speak, but your daily earnest chopping awakened my spiritual consciousness," Qi Yuan said casually.

To truly play the role of a kitchen knife, ever since he started chopping, Qi Yuan had disconnected his own senses, becoming like a real kitchen knife, devoid of any spiritual consciousness and thoughts.

As Yunxi continued to chop diligently, his performance as the kitchen knife improved, reaching over 60.

This also granted him new abilities.

Or rather, it granted the kitchen knife new abilities.

To have spiritual consciousness, five senses.

And the kitchen knife became even more durable, sharper.

Among the ratings, merely this intensity could likely compare to those tough Heavenly Artifacts.

Transformed, his body was comparable to a Heavenly Artifact.

This was actually quite terrifying.

In this world, the capabilities of an Earth-level Army Commander largely derived from their Magic Artifact.

Even with cultivation, his body was fragile and dared not withstand a direct hit from a Magic Artifact.

Now, Qi Yuan was different.

Originally, he was all about technique in combat, but now he could be considered a bruiser.

"You can actually speak?" Jiang Yunxi blinked her eyes in astonishment, filled with shock.

Could it be that she really was the Savior?

"Are you male or female? Wait, that’s not right, according to biographies, your kind usually don’t have genders, and you’re making your voice manly just to please me, your master, right? Your voice is quite nice, talk more!" Jiang Yunxi was thrilled, and all her fatigue vanished.

"..."

"Why aren’t you speaking anymore? Ah... I understand, it must be my will that’s the problem, I shouldn’t be saying such intimate things.

What we should do now is to cast aside romance and strive hard to defeat the big villain!

In the end, I’ll hold you in my arms, battered and bereft of sense, writhing in pain, and finally realize that my feelings for you are not just comradeship, but also love, something I’ve overlooked all this while.

In the end, as you die in my arms, I’ll retreat alone to the mountains, what an emotionally touching scene that would be!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunxi felt a surge of excitement.

Her speech was akin to those internet fans who would love nothing more than for a chess player to defeat an AI and then die after a perfect game, immortalizing themselves as a chess saint.

Not like now, where they are just put on the defensive by opponents.

"You’re thinking too much," Qi Yuan was at a loss for words.

It had been a while since he’d met someone as speechless as this.

"Now, your skills with the ’kitchen knife’ are sufficient, we should proceed to the third step," Qi Yuan said earnestly.

"The third step?" Jiang Yunxi was full of anticipation.

"A kitchen knife that hasn’t seen blood isn’t a good knife.

A warrior who hasn’t experienced slaughter cannot become a Savior."

"Will we go and defend the weak, rob the rich to aid the poor, kill bandits, and slay Strange Spirits tomorrow?" Jiang Yunxi was full of anticipation.

Rob the rich to aid the poor, starting with yourself first?

"Not exactly, starting tomorrow, we’ll catch our own ingredients, kill fish!"

"At Yesan Lake, the big villain has secretly contaminated many fish, turning them into Strange Spirits. What you need to do now is to kill those fish!" Qi Yuan said earnestly.

Last time, while preaching the "Transform Into Dragon Spell" on a boat, many fish followed.

A lot of these fish had entered Yesan Lake.

This provided Qi Yuan with more understanding of Yesan Lake and its peculiarities.

Some of the fish he preached to, for no apparent reason, died terrible deaths.

The culprits were some bizarre-looking fish.

With Qi Yuan’s keen eyesight, he immediately deduced that these fish resembled the bodies nurtured in the Spirit Nurturing Land, being raised as Strange Spirits.

Now, taking on the role of a ’kitchen knife,’ it was perfect for Jiang Yunxi to catch these ingredients, slay the Mysterious Fish, and gain some Experience Value, a triple benefit.

"Alright!"

...

As dawn broke, the chill at Yesan Lake faded.

Yun Li and Yun Hu sat in the boat, following the flatboat ahead at a distance.

"I have to say, that old man does have some skills, managing to coax the Commandery Princess into doing hard labor for a few days!" Yun Li mentioned this and couldn’t help but laugh.

The Commandery Princess made too many buns, more than Chen Kangbao could eat, so she even set up a stall to sell them.

Being responsible for the safety of the Commandery Princess, she hadn’t tasted the Commandery Princess’s cooking and hurried to buy some to eat.

I must say, they were quite delicious.

"Prince was surprised to hear about the goings-on here, but he didn’t object," Yun Hu said.

Yesterday, the Prince also came to Yesan Lake. Yun Hu reported to the Prince what had happened to the Commandery Princess and even brought some buns.

The Prince finished the buns and didn’t object.

As long as his daughter wasn’t truly harmed, gaining some experience was always good.

"The Princess surely is much more diligent than before, and it seems... she’s even more motivated today," Yun Li commented.

"Do you think that old man might actually be a recluse expert?" pondering this, Yun Li couldn’t help but consider.

"How could he be? He’s all crazy and demented. If he really were a recluse expert, how could the Princess foolishly talk to fish?" Yun Hu said.

Not long ago, their boat was not far from the Commandery Princess’s flatboat, and he overheard her holding a fish, asking where the Mysterious Fish were.

Not only that, but she also asked the fish to lead the way to go kill the Mysterious Fish.

It was almost too absurd to criticize.

Firstly, how could a normal fish be a Mysterious Fish?

In Yesan Lake, only the fearsome Water Lord, a Strange Spirit, wouldn’t allow other Strange Spirits into its territory.

Secondly, even if there were Mysterious Fish, how could ordinary fish understand human speech and guide you?

Isn’t that just ridiculous?
