Chapter 147 One palm strike shatters the stars, and you call that smashing cucumbers?
Smashed cucumber?
Add more garlic and less vinegar?
Lin Fan's casual remark struck the very soul of everyone in the courtyard like a divine decree.
All sound disappeared.
The wind stopped, the light froze, and everyone stood frozen in place, their expressions fixed, staring intently at Lin Fan with eyes that looked up to a god but could not comprehend his actions.
Fang Qingxue's red lips parted slightly, but she couldn't utter a single sound.
gentlemen……
This...this is a "Star Vein Spiritual Root" that contains a complete nebula and is personally woven by the laws of the universe's creation and destruction!
Each one is a living star with limitless potential!
You...you're actually going to use it...to make smashed cucumber?
This is hardly a waste of resources!
This is blasphemy against the Great Way, and a mockery of the universe!
On the other side, the gardeners who were prostrate on the ground began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.
Their faces showed a hundred times more intense heartache and bewilderment than before.
That was the new universe that the gentleman created himself.
Those dozen or so hanging "nebula cucumbers" are the core of that universe, the countless stars of the future!
Now, the creator god is actually going to... smash a "star" just to make a cold dish?
Even the three trainee maids whose worldviews were collapsing and rebuilding—Fang Yubing, Fang Lingshan, and Fang Ruoxi—had completely fallen into a state of idiocy.
They were still unaware of the specific origin of this "cucumber".
But just by the aroma that could make one's soul ascend to heaven with a single breath, and by the cosmic illusion that could be seen with the naked eye, they knew that this thing was billions of times more precious than the most treasured family heirloom in the Fang family's treasury!
And sir, are you going to eat it while taking pictures?
Lin Fan, however, was completely unaware of all of this.
He looked at the dazed expressions on everyone's faces, as if they had all left their bodies, and was somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong? Why the long face? I grow cucumbers to eat, aren't they?"
He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Or perhaps you don't like garlic?"
Lin Fan stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Sesame paste would be fine too. Or, I think I still have sesame paste and chili oil in the fridge, how about making a Sichuan-style cucumber salad?"
Fang Qingxue's mind was finally pulled back from the extreme chaos.
She tried her best to calm her mind, which was on the verge of exploding.
You have to get used to it.
You have to get used to it.
We must get used to Mr. [Name]'s unique way of thinking, which transcends all logic and is above all rules.
Perhaps, in the gentleman's eyes, this supreme divine object containing a universe is really... just a cucumber with a rather unique appearance.
It's because my own perspective has become too narrow once again.
"Yes, sir."
She lowered her head deeply, her voice trembling slightly without her even realizing it.
She took a step and walked towards the starry vines.
Each step was a thousand times heavier than the last time they picked the "Dragon's Blood Treasure Vegetable".
She felt like she wasn't just picking a cucumber.
Instead, they went to... pluck a living star.
She walked up to the largest, brightest, and most magnificent "cucumber" with the most beautiful internal nebula and reached out her hand.
My fingertips are trembling violently.
The moment you touch that cool, translucent melon rind.
Om-!
A torrent of memories originating from the beginning of the universe surged into her mind without any rhyme or reason!
She witnessed the singularity explosion, the birth of stars, the convergence of galaxies, the budding of life, and the end of time…
Her soul was stretched infinitely, overlapping with the entire universe!
Her newly attained "Land Immortal" realm was as fragile as paper under the scouring of this primordial torrent, and was instantly torn to shreds!
A more vast and purer power, imbued with the laws of stars and spacetime, surged wildly within her body!
I only touched the cucumber.
She actually broke through once again!
boom--!
A powerful aura exploded out of control from her, causing her white clothes to flutter wildly and her long black hair to dance wildly.
In the courtyard, everyone was so startled by the sudden oppressive aura that they retreated repeatedly.
Lin Fan was stunned when he saw her suddenly glowing all over, as if she had transformed.
"Hey, what's wrong with this girl?"
"It's just picking a cucumber, why are you getting so worked up?"
He urged impatiently, "Qingxue, are you even capable? If not, find someone else. Don't delay my breakfast."
Lin Fan's voice was like a heavy hammer, abruptly waking Fang Qingxue from her profound state of enlightenment.
She forcefully suppressed the explosive power within her body, her pretty face flushed red, and with all her might, she managed to pluck the "Nebula Cucumber" from the vine.
The moment a cucumber is separated from its vine, the miniature nebula inside it suddenly begins to spin at an accelerated speed!
Holding this "star," Fang Qingxue felt as if she were holding not food, but a cosmic singularity that could explode at any moment.
She walked with great difficulty, step by step, and delivered the cucumber to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took it and weighed it in his hand.
"Hmm, the portion is quite generous, it seems to be quite moist."
He carried the "Nebula Cucumber," which was still glowing and had a galaxy flowing inside, and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Fang Qingxue and the other three women immediately followed them inside, wanting to observe the master's next "performance".
Then, they witnessed what true simplicity really meant.
Lin Fan walked to the stove made of "Obsidian from the Earth's Core" and casually tossed the "Nebula Cucumber" onto the black gold cutting board.
He was too lazy to even pick up the knife.
He glanced at the wok next to him, forged from "Starry Black Gold," its surface still shimmering with starlight.
He curled his lip, looking disgusted: "Using a pot to smash it, then having to wash the pot later, too much trouble."
The words fell.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone in the kitchen.
Lin Fan raised his hand.
That fair, slender, and seemingly ordinary hand.
He lightly slapped the "Nebula Cucumber" that was nurturing a miniature universe.
It was taken.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound, like the sweetest watermelon being smashed open on a summer's day.
However, at the very moment that soft sound was made...
boom--!!!!!!
A pure and ultimate primordial power of the universe suddenly erupted from the smashed cucumber!
The small kitchen space felt infinitely extended in this moment!
A vast universe, composed of endless starlight and dazzling nebulae, unfolds in the kitchen, undergoing birth, death, and evolution!
In the next instant, this power could no longer be contained by the small kitchen!
A thick, seven-colored beam of light, as thick as a pillar of heaven, carrying the pure essence of stars, shot into the sky from the kitchen of the courtyard!
The beam of light tore through the sky! It tore through the atmosphere! It tore through spacetime!
The bright daylight over the entire capital city was instantly transformed into eternal night!
No, that wasn't night.
It was a vast sea of stars that was billions of times more dazzling and magnificent than any other starry sky!
Countless unheard-of constellations and nebulae slowly circulate above the capital city, demonstrating to the world the supreme laws of the universe's birth and death!
At that moment, satellite screens in every country around the world instantly turned into static!
All radar signals are interrupted!
All the telescopes pointing into the depths of the universe had their lenses shatter!
Globally, all extraordinary beings, whether Eastern cultivators, Western magicians, those with supernatural abilities from the deep mountains, or vampires from the city…
At that moment, they all looked up in unison, gazing at the eastern sky.
On their faces, the same expression, originating from the depths of their souls, appeared.
The ultimate... terror!
To worship...!
In the kitchen at the eye of the storm.
Lin Fan frowned as he looked at the glistening cucumber juice splattered everywhere.
"Wow, this cucumber is so watery!"
"It's quite powerful; when you slap it, it's like it exploded."
He glanced at the few trainee maids beside him, whose eyes rolled back and who fainted on the spot from the aftershocks of the energy.
Then he looked at Fang Qingxue, who was slumped on the ground, foaming at the mouth, convulsing, but with unusually excited eyes.
He scratched his head, puzzled.
"It's just cucumber salad, isn't it?"
"Why are you all so excited? Are you all suffering from low blood sugar?"
Just then.
Ring ring—ring ring—!
The old satellite phone he had placed on the stone table in the living room suddenly erupted with a frantic roar that was more urgent and shrill than ever before, as if it were about to self-destruct!
