Monster! Get in the Bowl!

[The Nemesis Became My Sword Spirit!?] Now serializing, feel free to add it to your collection! Food streamer Qi Shiwu transmigrates into a supernatural novel as a cannon-fodder supporting female character who appears only three times. The original owner's constitution is cold and Yin, which makes her the perfect bait to lure a great demon. Looking at herself in a wedding dress, Qi Shiwu remembers the original owner's fate in the book: on her wedding day, the great demon stabbed her straight through the heart in the bridal chamber. Best to run for it. To stay alive, Qi Shiwu chooses to flee far away to the countryside, where she can farm and enjoy a comfortable life of her own. And then she turns a supernatural novel into... a farming-and-food story? Fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, steaming bowls of lamb rice noodles, fiery hot pot, aromatic barbecue, and an array of delectable desserts... Soon, monsters are all groveling at her feet. The mountain demon who once caused landslides gathers dried goods for her; the mischievous water demon takes care of irrigation and cleaning; the crafty, sinister fox demon brings in customers... At first, the monsters say: If it weren't for the food, who'd put up with being bossed around? Later, the monsters say: Rich lady, we're hungry. Feed us! But one day, Qi Shiwu suddenly realizes that the exorcist she brought along to help catch monsters has grown a tail?! * The Qi family, who once planned to hand Qi Shiwu over as food for a great demon, hear that she runs a thriving restaurant. So they bring the great demon along to cause trouble, but the moment they step inside, a crowd of monsters surrounds them. “What are you here for?” The wolf demon's sharp fangs, the bear demon's huge frame, and the tiger demon's eager paws send the Qi family stumbling backward, hoping the great demon will protect them. But the great demon trembles as he hands over some silver: “We're here to eat.” The Qi family: ...? * To maintain stability in the demon realm, Si Jiu disguises himself as an exorcist and, by a twist of fate, ends up helping set a trap to catch monsters. Then, on the day of the fake wedding, he sees with his own eyes the frail bride he had encountered earlier that day clamber over a wall with several bags, cursing as she runs: “The Qi family is disgusting. They'd send their own daughter off to feed a monster!” “I'm not going to sit around and wait to be eaten!” “And that stinking exorcist, what kind of awful idea was that? I curse you to go hungry for the rest of your life!” Si Jiu: . Later, Si Jiu steps on the monster that had nearly killed Qi Shiwu and asks her, “Go hungry?” Qi Shiwu: I'll serve you a full imperial feast!

Though her spiritual roots are incomplete, she has always dreamed of becoming a sword cultivator. But she only has a wooden sword. Many people laugh at her for wanting to become a sword cultivator when she doesn't even have a sword spirit of her own. Until one day, her wooden sword moves. Her sword spirit is perfect in every way, except that at first he refuses to call her Master. Luckily, she's patient enough to win him over. - Wanzong Mountain is home to a famed swordsmanship prodigy. Shi Yu can't stand him, and once even spent eight hundred rounds trading insults with him anonymously on the Four Directions Treasure Mirror. But he's the sect leader's personal disciple, so she can't afford to provoke or fight him. Whenever she sees him in private, Shi Yu keeps well away. Then, after one particularly fierce argument, she kisses and pets her sword to calm herself down, only to turn and find her nemesis staring at her, face flushed red and expression strange. Shi Yu is even more annoyed: What, never seen someone get affectionate with their sword spirit? She decides to stay even farther away from him from now on. However, at the triennial gathering, the swordsmanship prodigy is punished with a menial job, and Shi Yu, who's in charge of preparing the banquet, is forced to work with him. She takes the opportunity to put on airs and order him around. To her surprise, he casually agrees in front of everyone: “Understood, Master.” Shi Yu and everyone else: ? - As a swordsmanship prodigy, Tang Xiyan is proud and never takes anyone seriously. That attitude once got him hunted down and nearly cost him his life. With nowhere else to turn, he hid inside a battered wooden sword and was accidentally mistaken for a sword spirit. The person who found him was a little girl with no spiritual roots at all, a good-for-nothing who clutched the sword every day and demanded he call her Master. Tang Xiyan: I, the greatest genius of the Sword Sect, could never become a sword spirit for a little girl who hasn't even awakened her mind! You've got to be ki Shi Yu: Sweet little sword spirit, are you there? Tang Xiyan: ...Here. Later, he starts asking for more. In the dead of night, he takes her hand and murmurs against her ear: “How about I help you remember how you used to kiss and touch me?” Shi Yu tries to pull away, but he leans into her arms like he used to when he was a wooden sword, burying his face in the hollow of her neck, the tips of his ears bright red: “...Master, don't push me away.” Theme: Hard work is glorious.
