Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

Chapter 220 Let the Cooking Contest for Who Deserves Yang Wei's Love, Begin!!

Since Yang Wei had a comfortably spacious courtyard, he thought it'd be a good idea to hold the cooking contest outside.

That way, all three women could cook comfortably.

Huo Yue was thrilled about it and even gave him a peck on the cheek for being so considerate. But truth be told, Yang Wei was actually worried that these ladies might lose their cool while cooking and wreck the whole place. So, he was actually thinking about He Dongmei, not wanting her to have too much cleaning up to do.

Plus, Guo Xiaomei had warned him that Huo Zirou was a terrible cook, but he didn't know just how terrible. So, he figured if anything was going to get burnt down, it'd be better if it happened outside the house.

Mu Lin, Huo Yue, and Huo Zirou each had their cooking utensils and ingredients laid out on separate tables spaced out in the courtyard.

Mu Lin wore a confident expression, as if she already knew she'd win this with ease. "Alright, let's get this challenge started. The one who cooks up the most delicious meal wins," she declared.

Huo Yue remained silent but had a determined look on her face.

Surprisingly, Huo Zirou appeared quite nonchalant for someone believed to lack cooking skills.

Standing in the middle were Yang Wei, He Dongmei, and Tianyi, who rested atop Yang Wei's head, purring softly.

He Dongmei then waved her hands excitedly and shouted, "Let the cooking contest to win Senior Brother Yang's heart begin!" She adjusted her crooked glasses, which were in seriously rough shape, and exclaimed, "Ready, set, go!" And just like that, all the contestants dashed off, like in a race.

Quick as a flash, Huo Yue grabbed a plump carrot and placed it firmly on the chopping block. With precise movements, she diced it in record time. Her speed wasn't just natural; she'd become so one with the kitchen that she could cut with unmatched precision.

He Dongmei, acting as the commentator, squealed with excitement, "Wow! Did you see that? It's like she has multiple hands with how fast she's chopping!" She had literal stars in her eyes, watching Huo Yue with the enthusiasm of a child with a new toy.

Yang Wei let out a small yawn and gave He Dongmei a side-eye. "You're really getting into this, huh...?"

But He Dongmei was too captivated by the cooking to respond.

The more Huo Yue sliced and diced, the more her speed and efficiency increased.

At first, I attempted to dice two small food items at the same time while rushing to cook for Zhenwei and Wei Shuai. I wasn't sure if it was even possible, but I gave it a shot. Surprisingly, I managed to do it. It was surprisingly easy. After that, I moved on to dicing three, then four food items simultaneously, each one getting bigger. And now, I'm a pro at it!

When Mu Lin saw Huo Yue's impressive cutting speed, she didn't want to be outdone. She immediately showcased her own unique cooking skill. She threw up several hard nuts and began punching the air with incredible force, stopping just short of hitting the nuts. Concentric waves of spiritual Qi radiated from her fists, completely pulverizing the nuts into fine particles.

While Mu Lin and Huo Yue were busy cooking, Huo Zirou's unexpected kitchen prowess stole the spotlight.

But then she did something that shocked He Dongmei and Yang Wei to their core.

She brought out a big pot and poured the mixture into it. Then, she added a huge cup of salt, an entire jug of soy sauce, and even more water until the pot was overflowing.

Yang Wei stepped forward, looking concerned. "Um, Zirou?"

Huo Zirou responded with an affectionate smile, "Yes, dear?"

Yang Wei pointed at the pot. "Are you sure you're doing it right? I-I mean, soy sauce isn't supposed to be... and the pot shouldn't be so full because... and the salt is just..." He struggled to find the right words to tell her she'd gone from doing it right to completely messing it up. It was like she was drawing a circle and ended up with a straight line.

Huo Zirou chuckled proudly and shook her head.

"Dear, it's two hundred years too early for you to understand how a woman cooks in the kitchen. You see, just like measuring cups, a pot should be filled to the brim, otherwise, you'd be wasting space, which would make the meal lack flavor. Why else would the pot be so big?"

Speaking of flavor, she added two more huge cups of salt to the pot, and just looking at it made Yang Wei feel like he'd get high blood pressure.

"Eh, Zirou, but..."

He Dongmei stood in front of Yang Wei with her hands spread out. "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, but I can't let you help her any more than you already have!"

Yang Wei's eyebrows twitched as he looked at He Dongmei.

Then, he turned his gaze back to Huo Zirou and watched as she performed a double-handed mudra, summoning a powerful burst of fire that engulfed the entire pot in flames. This was her unique way of boiling it.

"Cooking is all about logic, efficiency, and excellence! So the most logical and efficient way to excellently cook this sauce would be to super-heat it with my fire!"

She looked like a crazed witch brewing a potion.

He Dongmei may have thought Yang Wei was trying to help Huo Zirou, but actually he thought differently.

Help her? I'm trying to help myself here... after all, I'm the one that's going to have to eat this thing!
