Chapter 801, Unable to Bring Oneself to Take a Bite

Translator: Silavin

 

Yu Ying walked in carrying a bamboo basket in one hand, filled with many fresh fruits and vegetables. These fresh fruits and vegetables were all picked by her from the farm fields this morning, for tonight’s dinner.

 

“Shaman, how are you feeling today?” Yu Ying’s cheerful voice rang out.

 

Yu Ying was very fond of her current lifestyle. Every day was so carefree.

 

“Come quickly and try the taste of this fruit.” Su Bai passed over an orange.

 

Yu Ying dubiously took the orange and asked, “Shaman, I’ve already eaten this orange before.”

 

“Try it first, then speak after you’ve tried it.” Su Bai smiled.

 

“Alright.” Yu Ying peeled the orange, took out a segment and put it in her mouth to chew.

 

“How is it?” Su Bai asked.

 

Yu Ying’s pink eyes instantly widened, extremely doubting that what she had just eaten was not an orange. Carrying this doubt, she continued to take out another segment to eat, and said in shock, “Shaman, why does this orange taste different from before?”

 

This orange was particularly sour. It was so sour that her brows remained furrowed.

 

When eating oranges previously, although it was not extremely sweet, it should at least have an orangey flavour with a tinge of sweetness. But now, there wasn’t the slightest bit of that flavour. It was just like eating a Sour Berry.

 

“You really can’t taste the orange flavour anymore, right?” Su Bai asked again for emphasis.

 

“There’s completely no orange flavour. Shaman, has this orange gone bad?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

 

“How is that possible? How could I possibly let you eat a bad orange?” Su Bai turned around, picked up a Sour Berry, and passed it over, saying, “Come, try this Sour Berry again.”

 

Yu Ying tilted her neck with a face full of curiosity, took the Sour Berry and tasted it. Her pink eyes widened enormously once more.

 

She couldn’t believe what she had just eaten. After trying another bite, she asked, “Shaman, this Sour Berry…”

 

Yu Ying’s pink fox ears stood very high, and the shock on her face came over her once again.

 

“This Sour Berry has the flavour of an orange, right?” Su Bai also ate a small piece of Sour Berry along with her.

 

“Yes. Shaman, did you do this?” Yu Ying could only think of this explanation.

 

Apart from the Shaman being able to do it, otherwise how could these two kinds of fruit have their flavours mutually changed?

 

“En, I converted the flavours of these two kinds of fruit, so the Sour Berry has orange flavour, and the orange also has Sour Berry flavour.” Su Bai nodded.

 

“It’s really too magical. Shaman, how was this done?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

 

Yu Ying kept swaying her pink fox tail and began to bite into the Sour Berry in her hand again. Although it was not the first time eating an orange, eating fruit with orange flavour in this form was really too magical.

 

“It’s also a kind of Shaman Technique. The technique isn’t difficult, it just takes a bit of time.” Su Bai explained.

 

“Shaman, can I watch?” Yu Ying’s pink eyes widened particularly large.

 

The watery pink eyes were filled with expectation, making it very difficult for someone to refuse such eyes.

 

Su Bai was no exception. He nodded and said, “Alright, then which two kinds of fruit do you want to swap flavours?”

 

“I want to see tomato and potato swap.” Yu Ying happily took out these two kinds of fruit from the basket.

 

Both of these fruits were picked by her this morning. They still had crystal-clear water droplets hanging on them.

 

“Alright.” Su Bai smiled.

 

He placed these two things on the table, reached out both hands and placed them above these two things.

 

Orange light quietly emanated slowly from his palms, helping to slowly extend into the interior of these two things.

 

The entire process was still the same as the previous experiment, lasting several minutes before it ended.

 

After the process ended, neither thing had any changes. There was also no damage whatsoever on the surfaces.

 

“Done. I’ve already used Shaman Technique to swap the taste of these two things.” Su Bai withdrew his hands.

 

“Shaman, is it done just like that?” Yu Ying lowered her head to observe the potato and tomato.

 

She discovered that the surfaces of these two things had no damage whatsoever, and moreover they looked no different from their original appearance.

 

“Yes. You’ll know once you taste them.” Su Bai smiled.

 

“Taste them?” Yu Ying was a little conflicted.

 

Even though the potato had already become tomato flavoured, it was still a potato. It was really rather difficult to bring oneself to take a bite.

 

Of course, Yu Ying was meticulous. Freshly dug potatoes definitely wouldn’t be brought back to the Yong’an Building still carrying soil.

 

She didn’t want the Yong’an Building’s clean living room and carpets all stained with mud, so she had long since washed them clean with water outside.

 

Conversely, potatoes were delicious and she really wanted to eat them. However, though tomatoes could be eaten raw without issue, potatoes could not.

 

“Don’t worry. It’s definitely been converted. You’ll know once you try it.” Su Bai continued.

 

Seeing Yu Ying’s expression, he obviously knew she was hesitant. But he had a point. It might actually work out.

 

“Alright.” Yu Ying mustered her courage and picked up the potato.

 

She raised her head, opened her pink eyes looking at Su Bai, and slowly brought the potato to her mouth.

 

Yu Ying frantically swayed her pink fox tail and took a bite, but discovered that in one bite, her mouth was completely filled with potato juice.

 

The corners of her mouth were also stained with quite a lot of the juice. It had obviously been successfully converted.

 

“How is it? I told you I wasn’t deceiving you.” Su Bai smiled.

 

However, this was indeed a bit strange. The potato’s exterior was that of a potato. However, to others, they would think it was bleeding since the juice was red.

 

“Shaman, let me look inside this tomato.” Yu Ying immediately ran to fetch a knife.

 

Yu Ying cut the tomato into four pieces. The contents revealed inside were also exactly the same as a potato.

 

The tomato definitely could not be directly eaten anymore, because the essence inside had all been changed to that of a potato.

 

“Don’t waste ingredients either. Use them for dinner.” Su Bai smiled.

 

“Yes.” Yu Ying smiled.

 

Yu Ying’s heart still couldn’t calm down for a long time. This was really too magical. How could these two things be swapped just like that?
