[The Magic Chef of Ice and Fire]

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

[Previously...] (Those with just causes attract much support,)

(those with unjust ones find little.)

For some people,

if you help them,

(they will shine.)

Just like my master to me.

(As long as ice and fire magic exist,)

(it's as if)

(Mom and Dad are by my side.)

(This is)

(ice and fire from the same origin!)

Master!

I can finally use two types of magic at the same time!

Now

I can step up my culinary skills even more...

-

Master.

Are you alright?

Nian Bing.

Tell me.

What is this?

Master. You...

Back then.

when Hua Tian was forging the Blade of Morning Dew for you,

you took out that superb ice stone in front of us.

(That's when I realized)

(that you have an extraordinary background.)

Master. I didn't keep it from you on purpose.

You brat.

These last eight years,

you've been training all night every night

(with two superb gemstones.)

When I saved you from Tianqing River,

you said it was because you ran into bandits.

(However, Only Ice God Pagoda was upstream)

(and no one Glared to make trouble in their territory)

Master. I...

Rong Nian Bing. Rong Nian Bing.

The Rong family is magic nobility.

I don't want to know about your grievances with the Ice God Pagoda.

All these years, I've tried my best to teach you culinary skills

because I hope you can let go of your hatred.

Master.

I have been learning to cook wholeheartedly

and have kept everything you said in mind.

Although I lost my parents,

to me,

you are my family.

I won't think back

to the past hatred.

It's good to let go of hatred,

but are you satisfied

With staying here?

How far can the combination

of magic and cooking really go?

That's the answer I've been searching for my entire life.

Nian Bing.

Don't you want to explore that uncharted territory?

Master.

I do want to improve my cooking skills,

but

why are you so obsessed with

the combination of magic and cooking?

This...

Because I lost to magic cooking.

At the very peak of my culinary career,

I accepted the challenge from a female chef.

But I didn't expect

(that she was actually a fire mage.)

(She used fire magic to its extreme)

(and used different levels of heat)

(to release dozens of different flavours)

(from an ordinary piece of meat.)

That aroma surpassed every dish.

An unprecedented feeling shook my taste buds.

With just one bite,

I knew I had lost.

I was devastated at the time.

In the face of magic,

all that I had ever learned seemed meaningless.

So, I publicly announced, my retirement from the culinary world

and cut the tendons in both hands.

That's how

I got these wounds.

I never mentioned this

because I didn't want you to worry.

Ordinary people who can't do magic

are unable to elevate their culinary skills to a higher level.

Now you can understand

why I was so excited

when I saw you using magic.

I let that match turn my life upside down

because I couldn't let go of my pride and dignity as a chef.

But I don't regret it.

Having seen magic cooking

let me understand the infinite possibilities of cooking

and let me…

take you on as my apprentice, a very good one.

Master. Are you alright?

These few months, your condition has been getting worse and worse.

Yeah, I should take in more nutrients.

I want to have Open-flame Fish Soup, your best dish.

I'll go make it right now!

Hold on.

Use my Blade of True Sun.

Master. Isn't that your most precious blade?

Stop nagging.

Shouldn't you thank me for letting you use my precious blade

to make the most delicious fish soup?

Yes. Thank you, Master.

I'll go catch a fish right now, to improve your health condition.

Go on.

I've been eating your dishes these past few years,

making the ones that I make myself are tasteless.

Nian Bing. I'm leaving my old pal to you.

Oh great ice element.

Freeze!

(These years I spent training under Master)

(not only my cooking skills have improved,)

(but my magic control has also been advancing.)

(Together with the persistent meditation every night,)

(I have accumulated a lot of magic power within me.)

The fire element inside me is resonating with the blade.

The Flame God's Stone is also resonating.

Ifs like the feeling that I got

when I first picked up the Blade of Morning Dew.

The blade heats up naturally.

As I activate the fire magic in my body,

I can freely control the temperature of the entire blade.

Raging Fire!

Awesome! No wonder Master cherishes it so much.

Nian Bing. I will teach you a new dish today.

Thirty-percent heat for forty-five minutes.

Cut the meat with the ice blade, the thinner the better.

The little fat kid has finally lost weight.

I've been chopping wood every day, how can I not lose weight, Master?

Control the temperature with magic.

Absolutely no room for error.

Great.

Your knife skills are about to surpass mine in my heyday.

Hahaha.

Weird. What's wrong with me today?

I almost screwed up such a good dish.

Master. The fish soup is ready. Please try it.

Master. Why are your hands so cold?

Master....!

(Nian Bing.)

(When I cut the tendons in my hands,)

(it resulted in an internal injury backlash so my time had been running out.)

(Thank you for keeping me company all these years.)

(I have nothing left to teach you.)

(Be it knife skills, cooking skills, concentration,)

(or even control over magic,)

(you have grown far beyond my imagination.)

(After I pass, the Blade of True Sun will be entrusted to you.)

(Consider it a graduation gift from me.)

(The blade of True Sun was carved from a fire dragon's horn.)

(It's a perfect match to your fire gemstone.)

(If Hua Tian embeds it into the blade,)

(it will surely be another magic blade.)

(Use this blade well.)

(You elevating your cooking and magic to the highest level possible)

(would be the greatest comfort to me.)

(Although you are the successor of my skills,)

(I don't want you to follow my footsteps.)

(Don't take revenge for my match)

(and don't be blinded by your hatred.)

(After leaving the Peach Blossom Forest,)

(make sure to hide your strength and learn humbly.)

(Finally, since we are close with fire,)

(use your fire magic to send me off.)

(Turn all my regrets into ashes,)

(so I can leave in peace.)

(You master, Zha Ji.)

Don't worry, Master.

As long as I am still breathing,

I will be sure to fulfill your last wishes!

I will elevate my cooking and magic to the highest level possible.

This is my promise to you.

Master. Rest in peace.

Burn, fire, burn.

Oh searing flame.

With my name, I command you.

Turn into a raging fire,

follow my guidance,

turn everything to ashes.

Fiery Blaze.

(Master.)

I'm leaving.

(Once I succeed in my studies and fulfill my promise,)

(I will be sure to come back to pay homage to you.)

Thank goodness I reacted quickly.

The lie almost became reality.

♪Sunlight kissed by white clouds in the sky♪

♪Seabirds flapping against giant waves♪

♪Every place I've been to♪

♪No one would forget♪

♪Keep what happened on the way♪

♪In my heart♪

♪I used to be so young and frivolous♪

♪I shouldn't pretend now♪

♪I'm always too strong♪

♪But that made me lose my way♪

♪I'll fulfill that small dream♪

♪There is an unforgettable place♪

♪It's not easy to find the way♪

♪Let's look for how things used to be♪

♪Along the way♪

♪There is an unforgettable place♪

♪Happiness freely blooms there♪

♪Endless shimmer is lit♪

♪You've been by my side after all♪

[Next episode]

Nian Bing.

Maybe one day,

we will meet again.

Since Master specifically told me so,

I must keep a low profile

after entering the city.

Let me fulfill your last wish

of reforging the Blade of True Sun first..

Mr. Hua Tian!

Who are you?

I should be the one

asking you that question.

What did you do to Mr. Hua Tian?
