Chapter 494: Baring My Heart? Looks Like You Want to Rip Out My Heart and Lungs
Inside the Grand Ming Cabinet.
“Any news yet?”
Three days ago, Hakuto had suddenly sent word that if the remaining two pieces of Legendary Cooking Utensil could not be found within seven days, the world’s barrier would shatter.
Once the world barrier shattered, things from outside the world would enter—whether monsters, humans from other worlds, or objects from other worlds. In short, this world would no longer be able to remain stable.
These past few days, the powerful ministers in charge had almost scratched their scalps bald.
“No. We’ve mobilized all intelligence personnel nationwide, even military personnel, to search for the Legendary Cooking Utensil. But still no trace.”
“Wouldn’t you say the Emperor Shengzong should have spoken up sooner? If he had, we would have had more time to search. But now…”
“Shut up!”
Before the speaker could finish, a group of people shouted loudly. The speaker fell silent.
“We shouldn’t say things that aren’t ours to say.”
The Legendary Cooking Utensils—what was it? These big shots all knew clearly. Legend said it could cook dishes that granted immortality. It would certainly provoke human greed.
“Immortality is completely fake. If it were real, the God of Cooking, Liu Mao Xing, wouldn’t have died.”
“I’ve heard a rumor that Liu Mao Xing was actually the reincarnation of our Shengzong Emperor. Could it be that…”
“If anyone could live, who would want to reincarnate? And if one wanted to reincarnate, the Taoists have methods for that too. Who would need Legendary Cooking Utensils? This proves that the so-called Legendary Cooking Utensils is just a tool for offering to the Divine Dragon. A hundred years ago, Liu Mao Xing offered to the Divine Dragon, keeping this world stable. Now, a hundred years later, if we don’t offer again…”
The group shook their heads and sighed. Just imagining that scene gave them a huge headache. The current Great Ming Dynasty enjoyed favorable weather and national peace and prosperity. But if the world barrier disappeared, who knew what would happen?
Just then, someone hurried in.
“Elders, we’ve found it. Someone said they found one of the Legendary Cooking Utensils.”
The previously worried elders immediately showed joy on their faces. They had found one of the Legendary Cooking Utensils?
Although two were still missing, and they had only found one so far, this was a good start. Who knew, maybe they would find the other piece in the remaining time.
“Notify him immediately!”
Soon, Hakuto appeared, looking at the Greedy Wolf Pot, one of the remaining two pieces of Legendary Cooking Utensil.
“So now, only the last piece remains—the Jade Dragon Pot. Once I find it, I can extend the Nine Provinces Barrier for another hundred years.”
“Find the remaining piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil if possible.”
After receiving this response, Hakuto took this piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil and left.
He needed to purify it. Most of these Legendary Cooking Utensil pieces had lost some of their spirituality due to time or various reasons. To use them, their spirituality must first be restored.
Fortunately, as more Legendary Cooking Utensil pieces were found, combined with the previously purified pieces, under Kikyo’s efforts, purification could be completed in a short time.
“I hope we can find the last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil before the final deadline.”
“Now only the last piece remains. Once we find it, this world can remain stable for another hundred years.”
Hakuto handed the Legendary Cooking Utensil to Kikyo and sighed. Kikyo took it. Although she didn’t say anything, Hakuto knew she was worried.
Finding this piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil had been coincidental. But no one could say when the last piece would be found.
Hakuto knew in his heart that finding one piece this time had already been lucky.
Finding the remaining piece would have to be left to fate.
But just then, Nyaruko found Hakuto.
“Master, I know where the last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil is.”
Looking at Nyaruko before him, a flash of killing intent passed through Hakuto’s eyes. The earlier matter with Calypso had made him realize that Nyaruko had played him.
Calypso’s final method of destroying the Nine Provinces Barrier absolutely could not have been Calypso’s own doing. The only possibility was that Nyaruko had done it.
“Hehe, Master, don’t look at me like that. It makes me feel shy.”
“I’m very curious about what purpose and reason you had for doing such a thing. Don’t say it has nothing to do with you.”
“Who knows? But, Master, don’t you want to know where the last piece of Legendary Cooking Utensil is? I can tell you. The last piece is in Yog-Sothoth’s hands. So, Master, if you want this last piece, it won’t be that easy.”
“Then go get the Legendary Cooking Utensil and bring it to me. If you can’t bring it back, then go die.”
Nyaruko stared at Hakuto in shock. “Master, are you trying to kill me?”
“If you can’t do it, then go die. You’re useless anyway.”
Although she had long known of Hakuto’s harshness towards her, Nyaruko hadn’t expected him to actually send her to her death, or to discard her like a worthless rag.
“Fine, fine. Although I expected this day to come, when it actually arrives, I can’t help but feel a chill in my heart. I’ve bared my heart to you!”
“Bared your heart? Looks like you want to rip out my heart and lungs. Enough. If I didn’t know what tricks you might have up your sleeve, I would have cut you down already. Now go bring me the Legendary Cooking Utensil. Can’t do it? Then go die.”
With just these words, Nyaruko immediately put on a tearful face. “Master, is there really no room for negotiation?”
“Then tell me, why did you use Calypso to destroy the Nine Provinces Barrier?”
