Qin Zhengyang went to the bathroom while Wu Tian headed to the kitchen.
At the same time, Xia Yumeng also got up. She felt uncomfortable if she didn’t have a drink immediately after waking, so she went to the kitchen. When she arrived, she found some ingredients laid out in front of Wu Tian.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Can’t you tell?" Wu Tian chuckled. "Mushroom and beef congee."
With that, Wu Tian picked up a kitchen knife. In the next moment, the blade fell.
Xia Yumeng saw only a flash of silver. For a moment, it seemed like nothing had happened. The beef in front of Wu Tian looked completely unchanged.
But Wu Tian’s movements didn’t stop. He no longer looked like a chef but rather a conductor leading an orchestra. His right hand rose and fell rhythmically, the silver gleam of the blade flashing in and out of sight.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xia Yumeng asked, dumbfounded.
"Just watch," Wu Tian said, his knife a continuous blur of motion.
Looking closer, Xia Yumeng realized the seemingly intact beef had already been cut. The incisions were so fine they were practically invisible. Moreover, every single piece of beef was the exact same size.
"This..." After this discovery, Xia Yumeng found it impossible to look away.
My god, is this the kind of knife work they show in gourmet anime? How can someone’s skill be this incredible? To her, Wu Tian looked less like he was cutting meat and more like an artist at work.
"Xia Yumeng, three bell peppers."
"Uh..." Xia Yumeng finally snapped back to reality. "Okay."
"Two mushrooms!"
"Okay."
"Half a chicken breast."
"Okay."
Without realizing it, Xia Yumeng found herself following his orders. Before long, the mushroom and beef congee was ready. She had watched the entire process, and seeing the finished dish filled her with delight.
I really want to try it.
"Want some?" Wu Tian asked, turning to look at Xia Yumeng.
She nodded eagerly. The mere aroma of the congee was intoxicating.
"Mm-hmm."
"Then have some," Wu Tian said with a smile. Back in the Immortal Emperor Realm, he had spent some time as a chef. As far as cooking was concerned, Wu Tian figured his skills were at least on par with a Five-Star chef’s.
In a pristine white bowl, neatly cut pieces of beef and mushroom swam in the congee. The rice itself was cooked to translucent perfection, boasting a beautiful color and a rich fragrance. A single glance was enough to make one’s appetite soar.
Hearing Wu Tian’s permission, Xia Yumeng couldn’t resist any longer and immediately took a taste. Her ladylike sips quickly turned into voracious gulps, and in a matter of moments, the bowl of congee was empty.
"It’s so delicious!" Xia Yumeng’s eyes sparkled. "How can it be this good?"
"What’s delicious? Are you talking about the congee I made?" Qin Zhengyang had returned and entered the kitchen.
"No, I meant Wu... no, Brother-in-law! The congee Brother-in-law made is amazing!"
A single bowl of congee was all it took for Xia Yumeng to acknowledge Wu Tian as her brother-in-law.
"What?" Qin Zhengyang couldn’t believe it and felt a surge of annoyance. He also loved making congee, but in all these years, he had never once heard Xia Yumeng call it ’delicious’.
"It’s true! Try it if you don’t believe me," Xia Yumeng said.

Incredible! This is absolutely incredible!
Brother-in-law? Has my own sister betrayed me now, too? Qin Yuhan scoffed inwardly. She chuckled aloud, "You don’t have a brother-in-law."
