[The Magical Chef of Ice and Fire]

[Adapted from Tang Jia San Shao's novel "The Magical Chef of Ice and Fire"]

[Previously...] (Fatty.)

(You're going to die here today.)

(Senior Sister.)

(Once you decide,)

(there is no turning back.)

(Master promised me)

(that they wouldn't be harmed)

(as long as I inherit the Goddess's position.)

(You've already betrayed the Ice God Pagoda)

(by not being able to let them go.)

(I'll never inherit such an Ice God Pagoda!)

(The Ice God Pagoda)

(should never determine anyone's destiny!)

Nian Bing.

(From now on,)

(you'll have to take care of yourself.)

-

Nian Bing.

Make sure to live on.

Such a strong-willed child.

Jumping off such a high cliff,

the child won't survive.

Mr. Bing Lu.

The Ice and Snow Goddess's stone fell into Tianqing River.

What should we do now?

Mr. Bing Lu.

How was that child able to cast two types of magic?

They are two types of magic of conflicting elements.

The Ice and Snow Goddess's Stone and the Flame God's Stone.

He relied on the two stones

to cast simple elementary magic.

But

ice and fire inhibit one another.

(It's indeed strange that he used both)

(at the same time.)

Let's head back.

Mission failed.

I'll take the responsibility.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

(Bing Ling.)

(You only)

(have yourself to blame for everything.)

The great Ice and Snow Goddess.

Please lend me your anger

Send us to the lost shore.

Ice and Snow Storm.

[Peach Blossom Forest, Ice Moon Empire]

Having vegetables every day.

[Zha Ji, Demon Chef] If I still can't catch any fish,

my health is going to take atoll.

Am I this lucky today?

Oh, no.

Not a fish.

[Zha Ji's Place, Peach Blossom Forest]

Dad.

Mom.

No!

Smells so good.

You're awake?

You...

Who are you?

Me?

I saved your life.

You...

You saved me?

Who else do you think

carried you all the way back here?

Thank you.

My name is Zha Ji.

You can just call me Grandpa Zha.

Kid.

What's your name?

my...

My name is Rong Nian Bing.

How did you fall into the water?

Where are your parents?

The Ice God Pagoda is of high prestige in the Ice Moon Empire.

If I tell him what happened,

he might tip the Ice God Pagoda off.

Aside from my name,

I can't

remember anything else.

You even forgot about your parents?

(Dad...)

(Mom...)

Alright. Alright.

Have this bowl of congee first.

Don't underestimate the healing effects of food.

Child.

It's alright if you don't want to tell me.

If you have nowhere to go,

you can stay here for now.

(Dad...)

(Mom...)

(Are you still here?)

[One month later]

Ice God Pagoda.

Ice God Pagoda!

Ice God Pagoda!

Burn.

Fire Blade Technique!

Give my mom and my dad back!

Ice magic?

The Ice and Snow Goddess Stone

O. strengthened my ice physique.

Aside from the fire magic,

I can also use ice magic now.

Who's there?

How come someone else is here?

Who are you?

Stop!

Ice Element!

Who are you?

The miasma of Peach Blossom Forest is very poisonous.

Ordinary people cannot come in.

Wait!

(Was she using.)

(Douqi?)

(I can't even beat a girl.)

(How am I going to confront the Ice God Pagoda?)

Dad.

Mom.

You're finally back.

Nian Bing.

Put the stuff down

and come inside for dinner.

Time passed by so quickly.

It's going to be a month soon.

Back then, I thought I had caught

a huge fish at Tianqing River.

I was so happy,

thinking I could finally have something nutritious.

I didn't expect to find you

when I pulled up the fishing net.

Thank you for saving my life, Grandpa Zha.

It's nothing.

Fortunately, you're young and strong,

and made a quick recovery.

I should be the one thanking you

for staying here voluntarily

and helping me with these laboring tasks.

Otherwise, my hands

would get worse and worse.

Hey, kid.

Although you usually look mopey,

why do I feel that you look particularly depressed today?

Don't bottle everything up.

You'll feel better when you say it out loud.

I saw someone else in the forest just now.

That's not possible!

(This peach blossom forest is full of miasma.)

(It's impossible to go and out without an antidote.)

(I've lived here for so many years)

(and I've never seen anyone else.)

You must've stayed in the forest for too long.

The antidote I gave you was no longer effective

so you were affected by the miasma

and had hallucinations.

(That girl can go about freely in the peach blossom forest.)

(Who is she?)

I'm actually really worried about you.

You passed out for several days after being rescued.

When you finally woke up,

you couldn't remember anything.

One month has passed.

Do you feel any better?

Have you remembered anything?

(These days, no one from the Ice God Pagoda came.)

(Looks like Grandpa Zha doesn't know who I am)

(and didn't tell on me.)

(Although I said I lost my memories,)

(he keeps asking.)

(I can't keep hiding things from him.)

(But telling the truth)

(will also put him in danger.)

Grandpa Zha.

Actually,

I didn't lose my memories.

You...

You didn't?

Then why didn't you tell me what happened?

Can you tell me

why you fell into the river?

Back then,

my parents and I were walking on the mountain road upstream.

Unexpectedly,

we ran into some bandits who were hiding in the mountains.

Not only did they rob us,

but they also hurt us.

In order to protect me, my mom and dad

were...

To encounter such tragedy at such a young age...

But...

why did you go to such a remote place?

I've decided!

Nian Qing.

I know how to Cheer you up.

I'm going to make you delicious food!

Grandpa.

The dishes you make

are the best things I've ever eaten.

Those don't count!

I'm talking about

gourmet food made with God Blade.

Long time no see.

Old fellow.

After I started living in seclusion,

I sealed this knife.

But today,

I'll make an exception for you.

Follow me.

Nian Bing.

Don't underestimate eating.

Eating isn't just about filling our stomachs,

but also for the experience.

Experience?

A good dish

not only can satisfy one's heart and soul,

it can also open up the five senses

and bring about unprecedented feelings.

Can a dish be that magical?

Sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

People's perception of this world

is formed by various feelings accumulated.

And chef

is a profession that combines

all these feelings with food.

Nian Bing.

Have you heard of the Demon Chef?

I have.

I remember him

as the most famous Chef in the entire Yangguang Continent.

Demon Chef,

known as the head of the Five Chefs.

He was poor since Childhood

and lost both his parents.

Started being a gofer

at Qilu Empire's most famous restaurant, Qixiang Restaurant.

Although he wasn't smart,

after years of hard work,

the head Chef finally agreed to take him on as an apprentice.

But hard work alone isn't enough in cooking.

The most important thing

is perception and comprehension.

It takes ten years to practice

and ten more to comprehend.

His master told him

that only perception

is the true way of practice.

So he traveled all over Yangguang Continent

to learn from all the top chefs.

In the process,

he constantly created skills that were unique to him.

Grandpa Zha.

Finally,

in the Master Chef competition,

he defeated

Fierce Chef Tian Jiu,

Camel Chef Zi Xiu,

Spirit Chef Na Yan,

Wonderful Chef Ming Xiu,

and became the head of the Five Chefs.

People called him

Demon Chef

Zha Ji.

Grandpa Zha.

Are you the Demon Chef?

Since you're the legendary Demon Chef,

how come you're living in seclusion in a place like this?

Just like the tragedy that happened to you,

everyone has a past they don't want to think back to.

Just let the past

pass with time.

Try this Peach Blossom Meat Slices.

This meat slice

is burning.

Grandpa Zha. This...

Don't talk.

Taste it with your heart.

Such a scorching taste.

This meat slice is numbing and spicy.

The moment I put it in my mouth,

I feel like I'm swallowing a mouthful of flame.

But after chewing,

it feels mellow and not too hot.

Looks like

the Blade of True Sun cleared the miasma poison from the peach blossom petals

and set off their unique fragrance,

elevating the aroma of the sliced meat to a higher level.

There's a warmth in my chest,

as if having a fire planted in my heart,

which can be ignited at any time.

Fire element?

I actually feel magic?

This is the breakthrough of sensory experience

Grandpa Zha was talking about?

I've never felt

that so many magic elements are around me.

I never expected a single dish

can actually improve my senses this much.

Magic?

Child.

You're a mage.

A fire mage!

♪Sunlight kissed by white Clouds in the sky♪

♪Seabirds flapping against giant waves♪

♪Every place I've been to♪

♪No one would ever forget♪

♪Keep what happened on the way♪

♪In my heart♪

♪I shouldn't pretend now♪

♪I'm always too strong♪

♪Along the way♪

♪There is an unforgettable place♪

♪Endless shimmer is lit♪

♪You've been by my side after all♪

[Next episode] (This dish)

(made me mobilize fire magic involuntarily.)

(You...)

(You're a dual elemental mage?!)

(Nian Bing.)

(Have you heard of cooking with magic?)

(To become a qualified chef,)

(you need to master three major skills first.)

(Why do ice magic and fire magic Clash with one another?)

(If you're too impetuous in your cultivation,)

(the consequences could be disastrous.)
