The moment Boons appeared, Tao Ran's heart sank suddenly, in the face of Kama, who also had no combat power, she could still delay time, but in the face of Boons, Tao Ran was powerless, this was the gap in absolute strength.

Sitting helplessly on the ground, Tao Ran spread out his palms, "I said you master and apprentice, what is this picture for?" Why must one's own ideals and attachments be based on the sacrifices of others? Isn't it good to pursue something else? ”

Kama kept a calm face, but did not answer Tao Ran's words, but said to Boones, "You did a good job, take the jade from her hand." ”

Boones nodded, didn't let go of Tao Ran's wrist, and squatted down directly beside her to untie the black string.

Two minutes later......

"What are you doing?" Seeing that Boons had been busy for a long time and still hadn't handed over the jade to her, Kama couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Tie ...... It's too tight to untie......" Boons sweated profusely, trying to fight the small, dead knot like a grain of rice.

Tao Ran was happy when he heard it, and this dead knot played a little role.

"Are you an idiot? Rip the rope off. As she said that, Karma crouched down to see if she could help.

"I keep pulling, the material of the rope is very special, I can't tear it, and the knife keeps cutting." Boones was almost on his stomach, his brass bell-sized eyes staring at the knot, the tips of his left and right fingers tugging at it. To tell the truth, this scene is quite funny, like a bearded man embroidering with an iron sword.

Kama crouched down, "I'll try." ”

Another minute passed, and the dead knot still hadn't been untied.

Tao Ran made up his mind, stretched out his right hand and let the two of them work, his dark eyes were full of smiles and smugness.

"......" Kama inadvertently raised her head, seeing Tao Ran's expression, she took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in her heart, stood up, and said coldly, "Boons, cut off her hand." ”

Boons: ...... Yes?

Tao Ran: ...... Σ(っ°Д°; Huh?

"I said, cut off her hand." Kama stared into Tao Ran's eyes and said word by word, "Boons, don't let me repeat it again. ”

The sweat on Boons' forehead immediately fell, but he didn't disobey Karma's instructions, "I...... Got it......"

As he spoke, he took out a knife from his waist and gestured it on Tao Ran's wrist, and the hand holding the knife trembled a little. He didn't look at Tao Ran's eyes, or...... I didn't dare to look at it.

Tao Ran pursed her lips tightly, feeling the blade brushing her skin, and did not speak. The knife in Boons's hand was a cooking knife, but like Tao Ran's autumn water, it was an excellent knife, and the sharp breath aroused a layer of fine goosebumps on the skin, which made people's hairs stand on end before they were cut.

Tao Ran's right hand was pinched in Boons's hand, the palm was spread out, the thin white wrist was flexible and flexible, the small wrist bone was slightly convex, and a gentle arc was like the tip of a butterfly's wings. Her right hand was warm and dry, not shivering, not damp with sweat, and looked extremely stable without the slightest fear.

But Tao Ran knew that she was very afraid, the sharp blade made her whole person tremble, and the left hand hidden in the sleeve was tightly clenched, almost cutting her nails into the palm of her hand.

But she didn't allow herself to show a weak look in front of these two people, her lips pursed stubbornly, her eyes did not fluctuate, and she looked at Boons quietly, "Boons, the knife in your hand is a cooking knife." ”

This sentence stunned both Boons and Kama, and Cama's gaze turned to the knife in Boons' hand. The blade is straight, arc like cold frost, and it looks like a sharp weapon to kill, but as Tao Ran said, this is a cooking knife, a knife for processing ingredients.

Boons is a cook, and although he has considerable combat power, he is a cook, a disciple of Kama.

Kama was moved, if this knife really cut Tao Ran's wrist, I'm afraid that her disciple's cooking career would be over. In the future, no matter how many knives he changes or how many ingredients he cooks, he will never forget the scene in front of him, the scene of cutting off a chef's wrist.

Kama didn't want to see such a result, although Boons's cooking talent was average, he had also learned by her side for half his life, his future was still very long, there were countless roads and countless scenery waiting for him in front of him, and she couldn't watch her disciple's future being ruined.

I was about to speak, but I heard Boones say, "It doesn't matter. ”

Tao Ran and Kama were stunned.

Boons continued, "My cooking talent is average, and after so many years of teaching by a famous teacher, I am still in such a state of not going up and down, and there are many choices in the future, and I will not necessarily choose to go down the culinary path. ”

His hand holding the knife trembled slightly, but his voice was steady, "Master's plan, Master's dream, Master's persistence, I don't know when it has become my dream, my persistence." For the sake of Master's thousand-year-old dedication, I am willing to make a career as a mere cook. ”

Karma was moved, revealing extremely complex emotions for the first time.

Tao Ran was also stunned, she closed her eyes, it seemed that it was inevitable to break her hand, "Whatever you want." ”

"But you have to remember that you are not ruining your own career, not the career of one cook, but the life of two people." Tao Ran looked at Boons coldly, "And mine, I, Tao Ran's cooking career." ”

"I don't have your great master-apprentice relationship, I don't have your high consciousness, I don't have the feelings of giving up my dreams for the persistence of others, I am not willing to sacrifice." Tao Ran's dark eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible water, but it disappeared in an instant, "You are going to take care of my partner, he is not willing to be cooked by you, he also has his own dreams, his own persistence, his own things he wants to do, and his own people he wants to protect." ”

"No one is born to cook for others, and no one is born to sacrifice for others, and I am not. My partner, Song Rui, is not. When Tao Ran said this, his eyes looked at Kama.

Her eyes were not aggressive, but she did not give up in the face of Kama's turquoise eyes, and for the first time clearly revealed her hostility and disapproval.

"Do it if you want to." After Tao Ran finished speaking, he looked at his right hand, but suddenly remembered Song Rui's words that ridiculed his broken hand: If you lose your right hand, if you have no woman's fate, you can only rely on your left hand for your life in this life.

The softness in his eyes flashed, and the corners of Tao Ran's mouth were slightly hooked, but they stopped abruptly before they became a smile.

Boons' right hand trembled violently, but he glanced at Kama, but he no longer hesitated, and raised his right hand and slashed at the thin white wrist in front of him.
