"Something happened inside? Is that guy lying to us?"
Although Kage didn't pull Kujo Sara aside, he noticed their interaction and the change in atmosphere.
She might not be familiar with other changes in atmosphere, but she was very used to this tense atmosphere.
Kujo Sara's body language just now clearly indicated that she was about to make a move.
Therefore, Ying's tone also became unfriendly.
“…Why don’t you try a sip first?” Tōsara’s expression was somewhat strange.
"Boiling water...?"
Although Kage didn't understand why Kujo Sara's attitude had changed, he still took the bowl and took a sip.
"This...purification? In the water?"
After taking a sip, Ying frowned, feeling the subtle purifying power flowing through her body.
Immediately, disregarding the temperature, Ying drank the entire bowl down.
"It's too little, even if you put them all together, it's still too little to do anything."
After all, a bowl of this only has a purification capacity of 0.5.
"But it really exists, doesn't it...?"
There was also a hint of self-doubt in Kujo Sara's tone.
The purifying power was too weak, so weak that even Kujo Sara herself could only vaguely sense it.
“I can’t do anything,” Shadow emphasized.
“But this is just a bowl…” Tōsara stepped aside to let Ray enter, “Mr. Ryūbā, what is this… a precious water source?”
"No—and don't even think about chugging water down your general's throat; he definitely can't drink it—and even if he did, it wouldn't have any effect."
Liu Bai tapped the side of the pot. It looked like a lot, but the total purifying power of this pot of boiling water was only a little over twenty.
"Moreover, your general's problem is not just the Honkai... In fact, the Honkai is the least important aspect right now."
What's truly serious are the complications caused by the collapse; those are the things that can really kill you.
"..." Tōsara nodded silently.
"So... these can cure it?"
"These?"
Lei, who had just entered the cinema, stared into deep thought at the pile of ingredients, including seasonings, fish, and boiling water.
Then, Lei Yingdian reached out and pinched off a piece of raw fish and put it in his mouth.
"...There's nothing here."
Ordinary fish meat—Lei's expression turned questioning again.
"It's only useful if the master prepares it properly," Huang Quan said calmly, wiping a kitchen knife nearby.
Huang Quan also found Liu Bai's special ability a bit far-fetched.
Any food made by Liu Bai himself will have a healing effect.
Last time, Huang Quan watched as Liu Bai cured Ye Lan.
However, Huang Quan didn't notice that as long as Liu Bai fetched and boiled the water himself, the boiled water would actually have some therapeutic effect.
"?"
Upon hearing this, Ying looked at Huang Quan, who bore a slight resemblance to herself, with a hint of doubt on her face.
The strong... but even the strong cannot speak carelessly.
"Why don't we wait and see?"
Kujo Sara accepted this with surprise—after all, she already had a full understanding of the fact that Ryuhaku was a "weirdo".
"Is there a connection between the therapeutic effects and the dishes?"
"Yes, the quality of the ingredients themselves, the complexity of the final dish, and my own culinary skills are all factors that affect the final result."
Whether or not Liu Bai "enchants" the ingredients in the middle is irrelevant, as enchanting does not improve the quality.
Therefore, Liu Bai had Huang Quan handle the fish preparation. He... was a pampered man who had never killed a fish before, and Huang Quan had helped him with the last fish dish.
The meat that Huang Quan produces is of good quality; if he were to do it, it would probably just be a pile of minced meat.
However, Ying still looked unconvinced... Well, this person is a stubborn one. No matter how much evidence is presented, he won't believe it.
Liu Bai sighed: "The simplest way... just blanch the fish. Huang Quan, cut a piece for me."
"it is good."
Huang Quan used a freshly cleaned kitchen knife to pick up a piece of meat that wasn't too small and handed it to Liu Bai, asking Liu Bai to throw it into the pot himself.
A moment later, Liu Bai picked it up again.
"Miss Ying, would you like to try it? You can make some small wounds on your body first."
Half-cooked fish (food/medicine/ingredient)
The outside is cooked, but the inside is still half-cooked.
Healing Power: 3
Ying pinched off a small piece of skin from the index finger of her other hand with her fingernail.
"..."
Holy crap, it's not heavy, but it looks painful!
Liu Bai subconsciously grinned, while Ying expressionlessly snatched the fish from Liu Bai's hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Unexpectedly...it worked." Shadow nodded slightly, feeling a slight itch in her fingers. "...Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No."
Liu Bai refused outright.
I'd be stupid to let you into the kitchen—unless, of course, you're planning to murder your sister and seize power.
"..."
Ying was clearly taken aback and silently left the kitchen.
"...I'm sorry, Lord Kage has always been like this." Josara apologized on Kage's behalf.
"Aren't you relieved now?" Shirako Kujo Sara rolled her eyes.
Kujo Sara was immediately embarrassed.
Yes, that's absolutely right. Although Lei Movie was a bit disrespectful to Liu Bai, after this inspection, Kujo Sara's last bit of doubt disappeared.
"Don't worry, I understand how you feel, and besides, she didn't cause any trouble."
Without any profanity or physical altercation, Lei's criticisms are entirely justified.
Even if Liu Bai doesn't prove it now, he'll have to prove it when he brings the fish soup over.
Now, Lei Yingdian has become Liu Bai's witness first.
"Thank you for your understanding... Lord Shadow also wanted to apologize, but he was a little more awkward than the General."
Chapter 102 The Shadow's Mission
"OK, it's done."
Fish soup (black-backed sea bass)
A large bowl of hearty fish soup made under the chef's guidance
Healing Power: 38, Purification Power: 29
"Can your general finish this bowl?"
"General...it's a bit difficult." Looking at the large plate of fish and meat in Ba Liu Bai Wu's hands, the soup almost overflowing from the bowl, he shook his head. "Because of illness, General's appetite..."
"Let her try it first; maybe she'll recover slowly."
Liu Bai didn't have any good solutions either, since Lei Dian was currently experiencing problems with all of his organs.
Let alone the stomach, even swallowing through the esophagus might be difficult.
Now we'll see if we can start healing our stomach and intestines with fish soup.
If it can be cured, then a positive cycle can begin.
Lightning is, after all, a "god." Although it is not good at fighting, as long as such a being has a healthy digestive system and a strong appetite, it can eat to its heart's content, and its appetite will definitely be several times greater than that of ordinary people.
In fact, this pot of fish soup has a total healing power of 150 and a total purifying power of nearly 200.
But realistically, a normal person can't eat that much—today Liu Bai made it for ten people.
Liu Bai took a big bowl and kept adding meat to it for free, which only raised his healing power to 38... The rest was the proper lunch for everyone else.
“…Yes, I will do my best.” Fox Palace nodded.
Although the treatment methods were somewhat beyond common sense, Fox Palace itself had no complaints.
No chemotherapy, no full-body examination, and no experiments are needed. Just eat well every day and you will gradually recover.
What's there to complain about?
Given my close friend's condition, being able to receive treatment like this is like heaven.
Even if you ultimately fail, being able to alleviate the pain and enjoy delicious food... is still a good thing.
If I had to nitpick, the fish soup, while showing some of the chef's skill, was still a bit rough overall.
It seems like she's just not a good cook.
If I have the chance, I'll teach Mr. Liu Bai a few moves myself...
She wouldn't dare call herself a master chef, but she does have some expertise in pastry making.
"Please also invite the others down for dinner."
"No problem at all." Fox Palace revealed a slightly pleased smile.
Incidentally, precisely because of his limited appetite, Liu Bai did not intend to have Huzhai Palace bring him a meal.
Don't let low-efficacy foods take up your precious stomach space.

room.
"Shadow, your finger?" Shin, who was resting, suddenly noticed the new scab on her sister's finger.
"……nothing."
Ying put her hands behind her back.
"It's just a minor cut."
"Broken skin?"
Although my younger sister isn't very bright, she's a first-rate martial arts expert. How could she break her finger for no reason?
"Ahem... Sara, you came back with Kage, right? Did Kage get into some trouble?"
She really knew what her own sister was like.
Although he's not the kind of person who likes to fight, he's incredibly stubborn and single-minded—in some ways, this is even more troublesome than someone who likes to fight.
After all, all you need to do is beat someone up; beating a stubborn person won't change anything.
"...Lord Ying only helped Mr. Liu Bai test the medicine."
Seeing her general's haggard appearance, Kujo Sara still chose to help cover it up—because she was afraid that if she told him the details, her general would faint.
This isn't exactly deception; it's about beautifying things in a positive light, and there's nothing wrong with that statement.
But how could Kujo Sara possibly hide her true feelings from Makoto?
One was his own younger sister, and the other was a general he had watched grow up and promoted—moreover, neither of them was particularly cunning.
