Chapter 725

Hearing Yanqing: "Practice is what matters most."

Hearing Yanqing: "Take cooking for example—maybe I know the steps and methods too, but the dish I make definitely wouldn't be as professional as Mr. Jiaoqiu's!"

Stelle: "Hahaha, getting lectured by two kids again."

Stelle: "Poor chef."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Ah, this....."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Fine, what you two say does make sense."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "I'm no expert in martial arts, so I won't presume to comment on that."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "But I do know killing techniques—that's for real!"

March 7th: "But how does a chef kill people?"

March 7th: "Treat people like ingredients and carve them up with a cleaver??"

March 7th: "Eek~"

March 7th: "So scary!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "....."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "I kill people with medical skill!!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Not cooking!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Sigh... forget it, pretend I never said anything, just take me for a chef...."

General Feixiao: "Hahahaha..."

General Feixiao: "Jiaoqiu, looks like your identity as a chef is even more illustrious!"

The video continues.

【Do you recognize this bottle of medicine in my hand?】

To prove that he too knew killing techniques,

Jiaoqiu rummaged through himself,

and produced a bottle of medicine sealed airtight.

【Don't recognize it.】

The three of them sized up the bottle for a few glances,

all shook their heads,

saying they didn't recognize it.

【This is called Dianzhu Powder!】

【It's a decoction refined and concentrated from the exotic extraterritorial flower Yabululu.】

Jiaoqiu pointed at the medicine in his hand,

and introduced it seriously to the three of them.

【Poison?】

Hearing Yanqing asked tentatively.

【Well, whether it's poison or a life-saving remedy depends entirely on the physician's intent.】

【Before performing surgery on a patient—bone-scraping marrow-washing, opening the chest and belly—a single drop is enough to make them feel no pain.】

【But.....】

【If the dose is a bit more, the concentration a bit higher, it will slow the metabolism, stop the blood from clotting, until the five senses are entirely lost—even long-lived beings who never fall ill cannot escape it.】

【This thing can save people, and it can kill people; the uses it can serve are far more numerous than the swords in your hands.】

Stelle: "Holy crap!"

Stelle: "Now I believe you're a strategist!"

Stelle: "What a poison-scholar!"

March 7th: "Mr. Jiaoqiu, the killing technique you mentioned—is it poisoning people??"

March 7th: "Isn't that a bit....."

Miss Yunli: "Bah! That's nothing but a cheap, underhanded trick!"

Miss Yunli: "A martial artist should rely on their own strength and win fair and square!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Indeed, Mr. Jiaoqiu, please forgive Yanqing for being unable to agree with your killing technique."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Sigh, still so young!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "What is a killing technique?"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "It is a skill that can kill people!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "You must understand—when facing an enemy on the battlefield, it's either you die or I live!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "At that moment, there is no such thing as honor, no such thing as right or wrong; all you can do is give your all and kill your enemy!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "As long as the enemy can be killed, you spare no means and hold nothing back!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "And poisoning may look like a low-down trick, but it's actually the most effective method of killing the enemy."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "As long as a swath of enemies can be poisoned to death, our soldiers' casualty rate will drop drastically."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "So, on a battlefield where it's you-die-or-I-live, would you still think this is a cheap, underhanded move?"

Stelle: "Nothing wrong with that logic."

Stelle: "On the battlefield, killing the enemy definitely comes first!"

Stelle: "No matter what schemes and tricks, as long as it kills the enemy, it's a good strategy!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Mm, Miss Stelle still sees things the clearest!"

Miss Yunli: "Fine, what you say does have its reason."

Miss Yunli: "I won't argue with that."

Miss Yunli: "Of course, the premise is that you don't normally use this kind of trick!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Naturally."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "This sort of venomous scheme is only used on enemies."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "This is my bottom line as a physician!"

Paimon: "Mmm... hearing Mr. Jiaoqiu put it that way, I suddenly feel like poisoning isn't so unacceptable after all..."

Paimon: "Next time I'm fighting a monster, should I try sprinkling an extra-large dose of poison on its food in advance?"

Ying: "No!! Absolutely not!"

Ying: "Paimon, please don't go down the poison-scholar route!"

Ying: "With that little brain of yours, I'm afraid one day you'll accidentally take the poison for salt and dump it into our pot!!"

Ying: "When that happens, I'll die with regrets!!"

Hu Tao: "Ooh ooh ooh, bestie, don't be scared!"

Hu Tao: "I'll provide you with cremation and corpse-collection services, guaranteed to let you rest in peace! (smug. jpg)"

Ying: ".... Hu Tao, thanks a lot for that... (speechless. jpg)"

The video continues.

【Hearing Yanqing would still rather place victory and defeat upon the blade's edge, rather than.... uh.....】

Hearing Yanqing wanted to say this was a cheap, underhanded trick,

but saying so seemed rather impolite,

so he swallowed his words.

【I really did misunderstand you.】

【You're not a feeble scholar — you're a shameless scholar.】

Hearing Yanqing felt it was impolite,

but the outspoken Miss Yunli had no such reservations.

【Hey hey hey, why the sudden insults?】

【I'm merely spreading some medical knowledge for everyone, not trying to incite anyone to poison people.】

Silver Wolf: "You play the saying-one-thing-meaning-another game too?"

Silver Wolf: "Look at that expression on your face — it's already betrayed your inner thoughts."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Ahem, I'm really not trying to incite people to poison!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "I just want to broaden your thinking, make it more flexible!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Killing the enemy... doesn't necessarily require the blades, spears, staves, axes, halberds, hooks, or forks in your hands."
