Chapter 30: Little Cabbage Purifies Body Impurities

Chapter 30: Purifying Impurities with Little Cabbages

Wu Yue felt truly fortunate to have saved Jian Suiyu.

What an amazing second-in-command, willing to set aside so-called pride and dignity for the sake of his teammates, just so they could eat healthy, clean food.

Blaze was truly, truly lucky to have a deputy captain like him.

Looking at Jian Suiyu and Jie Chen, Wu Yue said, "I never planned to sell the vegetables to the team, because from the very beginning, my idea was to share them with the team.

To be honest, if you hadn’t taken me to train yesterday, I would've told Aunt Chen about my ability to purify seeds."

Jian Suiyu hadn’t expected that he was the one who had interrupted Wu Yue’s plans. He felt somewhat ashamed.

"I’m sorry. I thought you didn’t want to tell us about this for the time being."

Wu Yue nodded. "I really didn’t want to, for now."

Jie Chen thought of Wu Yue covered in blood that morning. "Is it because your spiritual energy isn’t strong enough?"

Wu Yue nodded. "Exactly. My spiritual energy is extremely weak. I can only purify one seed a day.

Last night, just purifying the little cabbage seed almost killed me. Right now, there's no way I can purify seeds for larger crops.

Rather than giving you hope only to disappoint you later, I’d rather find another solution."

Jian Suiyu disagreed. "Wu Yue, you don't realize how incredible your ability is right now.

Even if you can only purify one seed a day, the resulting harvest can save many people from tainted food.

Besides, together we're stronger. With the combined strength of an entire base, we’ll definitely find a better solution."

Wu Yue felt a little embarrassed. "Isn't that asking too much?"

Jian Suiyu shook his head. "Not at all. Even without your purification ability, you’re still a member of Blaze.

As the second-in-command, it’s my duty to help every teammate."

Jie Chen nodded. "That’s right, Wu Yue. When Jian Suiyu asked me to train you earlier, it was precisely so you’d have more self-defense capabilities if you ever face powerhouses like the Chens again."

Wu Yue said, "Since you both say so, I won’t refuse!

By the way, actually, my Artifact cleanses me, so I don’t need to eat these purified foods.

Why don’t we have the other teammates taste the little cabbages I just grew?"

Jian Suiyu and Jie Chen exchanged glances, both grinning from ear to ear. Touched by Wu Yue’s offer, they stood up and approached her.

Bowed with hands clasped, they said, "Thank you."

Wu Yue thought the two of them were being corny, but the feeling of being completely trusted was really, really wonderful.

She returned the gesture. "We're in this together!"

May they all keep improving!!

....

Aunt Chen was preparing lunch when she suddenly saw Jian Suiyu and Wu Yue appear together. She called out,

"Just give it thirty minutes, and food'll be ready!"

Jian Suiyu brought out a heaping portion of baby bok choy, "Mom, sorry to trouble you, but could you prepare an extra dish?"

Aunt Chen initially didn't pay much attention, "Oh, dinner's about ready. It'll keep for dinner, right? Baby bok choy can wait."

Jian Suiyu reminded her, "Mom, take a closer look. Doesn’t this baby bok choy seem different from the usual ones?"

Aunt Chen focused her gaze, and her expression suddenly changed. She reached out and snapped off a leaf. Jian Suiyu winced, "Mom, be gentle!"

This was a treasure that money couldn’t buy!

It was the first time Aunt Chen had seen her son so flustered—usually, even S-grade items never made him bat an eye.

But when she held the baby bok choy up to her nose, a sweet, earthy scent flooded her nose. She couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Instantly, she felt her spirits lift, her mind clear, and her whole body tingled with energy.

Being a professional chef, Aunt Chen immediately conducted an inspection.

The moment she saw the test results, she shrieked in a way they'd never heard before: "S+!! It can purify impurities in the body!! Son, where in the world did you get this treasure?!"

Jian Suiyu stayed silent, but Wu Yue smiled and said, "Remember when... Aunt Chen, these are the seeds and soil you gave me!"

Aunt Chen recalled that Wu Yue had indeed taken seeds and soil the day before, "But!! Those were totally ruined ones!! Even if they could grow baby bok choy, how'd it grow overnight—and with such incredible quality?!"

Wu Yue wanted to explain the truth, but Jian Suiyu stopped her.

"Mom, actually, we found a special growth booster in a nightmare dungeon. It allows contaminated seeds to grow rapidly with high quality.

However, the supply of this booster is extremely limited. Right now, we’re trying to find more.

So, we need you to keep this a secret. Just say we scored some premium baby bok choy.

We’ll announce the booster to the team only if we can ensure a stable, long-term supply. Otherwise, it could stir up trouble."

Wu Yue had to hand it to Jian Suiyu—his explanation about the baby bok choy was airtight, like peeling back layers of an onion.

By the time anyone got to the truth, they’d already be three layers deep.

And most people would believe the story about the growth booster.

While sharing the purified baby bok choy with Blaze’s members, he ensured Wu Yue’s safety to the greatest extent.

For now, Aunt Chen bought the story. She praised Wu Yue and Jian Suiyu in turn, "You’ve worked hard! I’ll fix you something special later!"

Then she hurriedly took the baby bok choy inside to stir-fry it before mealtime.

Wu Yue’s baby bok choy had such natural beauty that it required minimal seasoning—just a bit of oil, scallions, garlic, and a pinch of salt made it fragrant and irresistible.

At mealtime, the team members started filing into the dining hall.

"Ugh, every day, this food is so blah—can't even enjoy it, but a shame to waste it."

"Be grateful we at least have some vegetables. The team next door is living off that nasty nutrient glop until they're sick of it."

"Hey! Today, I actually smell something delicious in the cafeteria!"

"What’s going on? What is that amazing aroma? My mouth won’t stop drooling!"

"Over at Aunt Chen’s window! There are small portions of baby bok choy set out—that’s where the smell’s coming from!"

As they spoke, everyone turned toward the cafeteria window.

A hundred servings of baby bok choy were neatly arranged, each small bowl holding four crisp little leaves, lying there like tempting little gems, giving off this amazing smell.
