Walking forward, in this picturesque world, a thatched cottage appeared not far away.
It was a very ordinary thatched cottage, but it complemented the surrounding scenery, giving off a warm feeling.
Cheng Yi was carrying a bunch of things and was rushing towards the thatched cottage.
Outside the thatched cottage, about a hundred meters away, a man with a goatee, a crown on his head, and a brown robe stood at the edge of the stream. His hands were behind his back, and there was a hint of worry between his brows. However, he pretended to be calm and collected as he looked at the stream as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Yi was excitedly walking in, but when she saw the man, her expression turned serious. She hurriedly tidied up the pots and bowls in her hands, then said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Alright, how many times have I told you? There's no need for such formalities."
The man waved his hand, then smiled and said, "Did you discover anything during your trip?"
Cheng Yi could not help but smile, "I met Seventh Sister this time."
"Seventh Sister?"
The man was slightly stunned, then asked curiously, "How did you two meet? Can you leave the Heavenly Palace, or can she enter the Heavenly Palace? "
"Cheng Er, ignore him. Come here and talk!"
Suddenly, a majestic voice was heard, and the man and Cheng Yi were shocked.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Yi will take her leave."
"Cough cough, go, go." The man waved his hand, his expression did not change at all.
In front of the thatched cottage, there was a pavilion, and there was a woman in a golden robe with shoulder-length hair.
The first impression this woman gave was elegance and nobility. In terms of temperament, she was somewhat similar to Cheng Yi. It should be said that Cheng Yi's temperament was learned from her.
Other than that, this woman was extremely beautiful, but no one dared to have any thoughts of blasphemy. She was emitting the aura of a motherly model, and no one dared to disrespect her.
Cheng Yi lowered her head and said respectfully, "Greetings, Queen Mother."
Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Sit!"
Cheng Yi sat down and whispered, "Queen Mother, did you have a conflict with the Jade Emperor again?"
She felt a little tired. She had only left for a short while, and the two of them … were quarreling again?
For so many years, there was a big quarrel every three days, and a small quarrel every two days. Her little brain couldn't figure out why there were so many quarrels.
"Hmph!" Madam Wang snorted. "I was about to win this game of chess, but he used despicable means to turn defeat into victory. What a heartless thing!"
Cheng Yi looked at the chessboard in front of her. She looked left and right, but she couldn't see where the Queen Mother had the upper hand. Hmm … she lost quite badly.
The Jade Emperor was really something. He didn't even know how to give in to the Queen Mother.
Cheng Yi couldn't help but let her thoughts wander. 'That's right, the previous quarrel seemed to have started because the Jade Emperor gave in to the Queen Mother.
In the words of the Queen Mother, with my chess skills, do I need you to give me a handicap? Are you looking down on me?
Sigh, the Jade Emperor … is so difficult.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Madam Wang raised her finger and the chessboard disappeared. Following that, she looked at Cheng Yi and said, "Cheng Yi, have you seen Zi 'er? Where did you see her? "
The Jade Emperor was still looking at the stream as if he had turned into a statue. However, his ears perked up as he listened.
Cheng Yi immediately said, "Queen Mother, we met in the Heavenly Palace. Seventh Sister broke the seal of the Heavenly Palace."
"Broke the seal?"
Madam Wang frowned slightly. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "This girl is a little too willful. She forcefully went against the big picture. Sooner or later, there will be problems. Did you persuade her? Tell her to stop. "
"After so many years, Seventh Sister has grown a lot." Cheng Yi paused and said, "This time, I talked to Seventh Sister about a lot of things. She said that an expert appeared in this world. The situation of the world was also changed by this expert. Not only did he establish Buddhism, but he also established a Human Sovereign. Even the Underworld was rebuilt and perfected by him."
Silence.
Madam Wang was stunned. The Jade Emperor was stunned.
After a long time, Madam Wang took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Seventh Sister shouldn't be joking. Also … the two Daluo Golden Immortals guarding the Heavenly Palace were killed by this expert."
Madam Wang's eyes showed that she was deep in thought, "That's right. Your Seventh Sister alone is no match for a Daluo Golden Immortal. Did something happen?"
She couldn't help but look at the Jade Emperor to discuss. However, she saw that the Jade Emperor was also looking at her. Her face instantly darkened. She snorted arrogantly and turned her head away.
She muttered to herself, "If that's the case, then this expert is not simple."
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly as he shook his head. Under such circumstances, she can still ignore me.
At the same time, they were thinking in their hearts. Who could be so generous to do such a thing?
"Oh right, Queen Mother. Seventh Sister asked me to bring you some good stuff!"
As Cheng Yi spoke, she began to arrange the pots and pans in her hands. Little by little, she arranged them neatly on the table.
Madam Wang saw this and couldn't help but laugh as she shook her head, "Oh you. You're the most mature of the Seven Fairies. Why are you messing around with your Seventh Sister? Why did you bring these things back? "
When Cheng Yi first came back, she had already noticed it.
She originally thought that it was something good. After all, it was rare for Cheng Yi to carry so many bags without caring about her image. However, when she saw it, she was completely disappointed.
It was just various kinds of meat and vegetables. What kind of good stuff was this?
As the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Palace, how could she be interested in these things?
Madam Wang looked at the meat again and couldn't help but frown slightly. She was a little disgusted.
Ever since she became the Queen Mother, she had basically bid farewell to these ordinary things. She ate the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots and drank the best nectar. Meat was out of the question as it was too low-grade. She could afford to be extravagant. She only ate essences like dragon liver and wind marrow, but she was already sick of them.
"Queen Mother, this is something that Seventh Sister begged from the expert. It's called hotpot. It's the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life."
As Cheng Yi spoke, she began to arrange the food and started a fire.
Madam Wang couldn't help but shake her head and said in disbelief, "Could it be that the expert eats these things?"
Her evaluation of the expert immediately lowered. She was afraid that the expert who ate these things wouldn't be that high.
After all, let alone a Sage, even an ordinary Immortal would bid farewell to the desire for good food. They would eat any Celestial Fruit they found. If they didn't have it, they could choose not to eat it. The so-called Five Grains were just things that ordinary people ate.
"Queen Mother, this hotpot is absolutely delicious. It's a pleasure that even Immortals wouldn't exchange for."
Cheng Yi was naturally full of praises for the hotpot. She swallowed her saliva in anticipation and said, "Queen Mother, you've been trapped here for so long. It's very boring. I know that you're suffering in your heart. You have to try this hotpot no matter what. It'll definitely let you experience the joy of living again."
Madam Wang was slightly stunned. She suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes. She said in a complicated tone, "You silly child. Why are you saying such sentimental things out of nowhere? We've lived for countless years. There's no difference between being alive and being dead. We've long forgotten about the joy of living. "
Cheng Yi had been by Madam Wang's side for a long time. She naturally understood her very well. Her words hit the nail on the head.
The Jade Emperor, who had been paying attention to them, stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile. "Sigh, Cheng 'er, to us, it's boring no matter where we are. You brought all this food up here just to add some color to our lives. We appreciate your kindness, but … forget about eating. Your Majesty and I have extraordinary willpower. Are we the kind of people who are addicted to eating?"
Cheng Yi immediately acted coquettishly, "Aiya, give it a try. This hotpot is very fragrant. Who knows, you might like it?"
Madam Wang was helpless. She smiled dotingly and said, "Alright, alright. It's rare that you and Little Seven are so considerate. Let's give it a try. I'll watch from the side."
The Jade Emperor and Madam Wang sighed in their hearts at the same time. They shook their heads secretly.
They couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the scenery around them. The sadness in their eyes deepened.
No matter how beautiful the scenery around them was, it was only a small place. They had lived here for tens of thousands of years without leaving. They had long grown tired of it. In fact, it was equivalent to being sealed.
They couldn't see the outside world and couldn't interact with the outside world. If it was someone with a weaker temperament, they would have gone crazy long ago.
They knew very well why they quarreled from time to time. It was to add some joy to their lives. Otherwise … life would be so boring.
However, this hotpot … obviously couldn't stir their hearts.
Little Seven was still naive. The expert she met was most likely unreliable. She had to be careful. She didn't want to be tricked by this expert. She might be tricked by someone else.
"Gugugu."
While they were thinking, the red soup in the pot began to boil. Bubbles began to appear. Steam rose and spread in all directions.
The steam turned into smoke and slowly drifted past the noses of Madam Wang and the Jade Emperor. Their bodies trembled at the same time. Their lips became dry and they began to salivate.
This smell …
It was fragrant. It was unimaginably fragrant!
They looked at the pot at the same time. Because it was boiling, the chili oil was bubbling. All kinds of seasonings were floating in the pot. A layer of oil floated on the surface of the pot. In terms of appearance, it was completely different from the delicacies that had been carefully prepared.
However, this seemingly casual appearance combined with the fragrance that filled the air was able to arouse their appetite.
That's right, it was their appetite!
Madam Wang and the Jade Emperor took a deep breath at the same time and suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.
How many years had it been? They couldn't remember. The last time they had an appetite was a long, long time ago. When they first tasted the peaches of immortality, they were curious about them. However, after eating the peaches of immortality, they felt … mediocre.
They didn't expect that after so many years, they could still have an appetite. Moreover, it was different from the last time. This time, it was because of the fragrance. It was the most instinctive appetite.
It was like how a person wanted to eat when they were hungry. Being hungry was troublesome. However, these troubles also gave people a kind of happiness in disguise.
After becoming immortals, they lost too many troubles. At the same time, they also lost their easily satisfied hearts.
Now, their original instincts came back. They … wanted to cry.
The Jade Emperor and Madam Wang didn't reject this feeling. Instead, they felt close to it.
They couldn't help but breathe faster. Their chests heaved up and down. Their goal was naturally to smell the fragrance. It was too fragrant. Just by smelling it, they felt a sense of happiness.
Madam Wang couldn't help but look at the pot. She was still glowing like a mother of the world. She sat there and didn't seem to be moved by the aroma. She just watched Cheng Yi use a spoon to elegantly scoop out the meat rolls and vegetables from the pot.
Cheng Yi smiled secretly in her heart. She placed the bowl full of food in front of the Queen of the West and continued to act coquettishly, "Queen of the West, please give me and Seventh Sister some face and try this."
Madam Wang pondered for a moment. Then, she straightened her clothes and maintained her image. She said calmly, "Fine. Since you've already filled the bowl for me, I'll reluctantly try it."
"Gulp!"
Suddenly, the sound of someone swallowing their saliva came from the side.
The Jade Emperor's expression turned awkward. He quickly turned around awkwardly. With his back facing the two, he coughed softly. "Cough cough."
Cheng Yi immediately understood. She ran over and pulled the Jade Emperor over. "Your Majesty, there's too much hotpot. Let's eat together."
The Jade Emperor sat down with his usual expression. He raised his sleeves and said, "Since you're so kind, I'll have to accept."
