The hotpot was steamy. Everyone's face was flushed as they enjoyed the meal.
Of course, the Empress of the West and the Jade Emperor were very conscious of their image. Even in front of delicious food, they did not lose their sense of propriety. They maintained their elegance and nobility. All the food was placed into their bowls by Cheng Yi. Then, they 'reluctantly' started eating.
Halfway through the meal, Empress Wang suddenly asked, "Jade Emperor, did you get anything out of it?"
"Something?"
Jade Emperor, who was chowing down on the food, was stunned. He reached out his chopsticks to check the contents of the pot. "Other than delicious food, what else is there in the pot?"
Empress Wang's face sank. She said sternly, "Stop playing dumb. This is Dao!"
Cheng Yi was confused. She could not help but ask, "There's … Dao in this?"
"There is." Jade Emperor put another piece of meat into his mouth. After chewing for a while, his face turned serious. "There are three thousand Dao. Eating is related to the continuation of thousands of lives. Naturally, it's a Dao. Back in the day, the Culinary God of the Heavenly Palace walked on this Dao. However, compared to this hotpot, the Culinary God's Dao was wrong. He turned food into shit."
Cheng Yi and Empress Wang's faces changed at the same time. They silently put down the food in their hands.
Empress Wang's eyes widened. She scolded, "Jade Emperor! Put down your chopsticks. You're not allowed to eat! "
"Don't. I was wrong." Jade Emperor started to beg for mercy without caring about his image. Then, he quickly changed the topic. He analyzed, "The so-called Dao of Food, although it's not as destructive as the other three thousand Dao, it's still a very, very scary Dao."
Cheng Yi was stunned. She did not feel anything.
She asked curiously, "How scary is it?"
Jade Emperor squinted his eyes. He smiled and said, "How did you feel when you ate the hotpot?"
Cheng Yi tried hard to recall. "Very satisfied. Very happy. And … as if …"
Empress Wang added, "Do you feel that the person who made this is a good person? Do you want to be friends with him?"
"That seems to be the case." Cheng Yi's eyes widened. She said in fear, "Empress, are you saying that eating this will affect one's thinking?"
"This is just a small part of it."
The Jade Emperor shook his head and continued, "The reason for this is because the person who made this dish has good intentions. Therefore, the Dao contained in the dish is not aggressive but friendly. However … if this person makes a dish that contains killing intent, even though it is delicious, the person who eats it will become violent. If the dish contains desire, then … there is a high possibility that the person who made the dish will become a puppet of the person who made it!"
Cheng Yi gasped and said in disbelief, "That scary?"
"It's much more terrifying than this! This kind of Dao can directly affect one's Dao heart! "
Queen Mother of the West said with a complicated tone, "Eating is a human's innate desire. Once this desire is magnified infinitely, in order to eat a mouthful of this delicacy, one might agree to any request of the chef! This person's Dao has already reached a terrifying level. If he really did something, the Jade Emperor and I would have already fallen for it. "
The Jade Emperor nodded. "That's right! My Dao is not worth mentioning in front of this person. It will be easily defeated. I don't know if the saint back then could have withstood it. "
Clatter!
The meat in Cheng Yi's hand fell to the ground in fright. Her scalp went numb. "This, this, this …"
She knew that the expert that Seventh Sister met was extraordinary. However, her vision limited her imagination. Now that she heard the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the West's analysis, she did not expect eating to be so powerful. She was shocked and her heart was beating fast.
"Don't worry. I can tell that this person has no ill intentions. Not only will he be fine, but he will also be beneficial to us." The Jade Emperor laughed and calmly ate a piece of meat.
Queen Mother of the West's eyes were filled with surprise. "I never thought that there would be someone in this world who could achieve the Dao of Eating. When did such a saint appear in this world?"
Cheng Yi was stunned for a long time. Then, she braced herself and whispered, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this expert isn't just a simple Dao of Eating."
Queen Mother of the West asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
"I heard from Seventh Sister …"
Cheng Yi immediately told her the story that Ziye had told her. Previously, she thought that Ziye was exaggerating, but now, she believed her.
As Cheng Yi recounted, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the West's faces kept changing. Even with their mental fortitude, they could not take it. They felt goosebumps all over their bodies. In the end, they both took a deep breath.
Gasp …
Casually achieving the Deluxe Merit Body, refining the Black Lotus of Destruction and turning it into reincarnation, sculpting the Buddha statue into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, establishing the Human Emperor and Buddhism, setting off fireworks to kill a Daluo Golden Immortal, and especially that terrifying backyard with boxes of Ultimate Innate Spiritual Treasures!
All of these shocked the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the West. Even if they were extraordinary and had seen many things, they would not dare to dream of such things. It was too unrealistic. It was completely out of their imagination.
This wasn't just eating. This was simply doing whatever he wanted, wasn't it?
After taking a deep breath, Queen Mother of the West stood up and said with a trembling voice, "Are you sure that his backyard is filled with Spiritual Roots? Oranges and apples can become Spiritual Roots?!"
Cheng Yi nodded, "Absolutely. Seventh Sister even fed me a few oranges. They are definitely Spiritual Roots!"
Queen Mother of the West looked at the Jade Emperor. Even though she tried her best to control herself, one could still hear the trembling in her voice, "Jade Emperor, do you think Tao Zu can enlighten Spiritual Roots?"
"Obviously not!"
The Jade Emperor shook his head. He stood up and started pacing around. Clearly, he was not calm at all, "Spiritual Roots and Immortal Fruits are born from the Heavens and Earth. They are innate objects. In other words, they were born when Pan Gu created the Heavens and Earth. Unless … this person is like Great God Pan Gu and has the ability to create things!"
In other words … a person like Great God Pan Gu came to the Eldritch World?
Terrifying, unsolvable!
The three of them looked at each other and did not speak. They were trying their best to digest the shock in their hearts.
Even Queen Mother of the West was at a loss. She said, "Jade Emperor, where … where did Tao Zu go? Does he know about this? "
The Jade Emperor shook his head, "It's not like you don't know. He left five years ago and never came back. We lost contact."
Queen Mother of the West asked with concern, "Did your Seventh Sister say anything about her relationship with the expert? She was so rash. Did she offend him? "
"Seventh Sister thought that she was very close to the expert. She did not dare to offend him at all."
Cheng Yi shook her head. She paused and said, "But I heard from Seventh Sister that the expert was interested in special seeds. He asked her to keep an eye out for them. He wants to plant them in the backyard."
"Special seeds? I have them! "
Queen Mother of the West flipped her hand without hesitation. Two seeds appeared in her hands. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia. She said, "These are the seeds of the Peach of Immortality and the Yellow Plum. Since the expert wants them, we have to send them to him quickly."
Cheng Yi was stunned. She hesitated, "Queen Mother, this …"
She knew that the Queen Mother would often stare at the two seeds in a daze. It could be said that these two seeds were the carriers of the Queen Mother's memories. Their significance was self-evident.
Queen Mother of the West waved her hand. She was not reluctant at all. She urged, "There's nothing to hesitate about. We don't have many opportunities to show our goodwill to someone like the expert. Being able to give these to him is something we should be happy about. Hurry up and give them to your Seventh Sister!"
"Yes, Queen!" Cheng Yi nodded. She took the seeds and left.
Looking at Cheng Yi's back, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the West looked at each other. They could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Queen Mother of the West could not help but say in awe, "This is bad. The expert Zi Er knows is going to turn the world upside down."
"Turning the world upside down … I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse."
The Jade Emperor sighed and sat down again. His gaze fell on the hotpot in front of him, "The meat is almost done. Let's not waste the vegetables. Eh? There are chives. I have to try them. "
…
Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Fallen Immortal Mountain.
In the morning.
Li Nianfan woke up early as usual. When he opened the door, he could not help but shake his head and laugh when he saw the lively scene in the courtyard.
Daji was leading everyone to make buns.
During this period of time, they had made up their minds. They would wake up early every day to make the buns well.
However, there was indeed an improvement. It was a huge improvement. At least from the outside, the buns looked good.
"Brother! Brother! Look at this!"
Long 'er saw Li Nianfan coming out. Her eyes instantly lit up. She ran over with a ball of dough and asked excitedly, "Guess what this is?"
Of course, she was not holding a bun in her hand. She had already started to spread the dough into other shapes.
Li Nianfan smiled, "This is a small snake."
"Dragon! This is a dragon!" Long 'er panicked. "Look! It has four legs!"
"Brother Nianfan, look at this." Nanna also walked over with a ball of dough.
Li Nianfan shook his head and said honestly, "It doesn't look like it. At least, I've never seen anyone with such a flat face."
Then, he glanced at the steamer and realized that the buns had not been cooked yet. He instantly let out a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't been to the Fallen Immortal Town in a long time. Let's go to the Fallen Immortal Town for breakfast."
Recently, he had been eating the buns made by Daji and the rest every morning. Although they were not bad, they were not delicious either. The taste had never changed. Most importantly, he could not eat too little. After eating for so many days, Li Nianfan really needed to improve his diet.
Long 'er was a little hesitant, "Go to the Fallen Immortal Town? I was thinking of steaming this little dragon, I wonder how it tastes? "
Nanna nodded, "Yeah, I want to try the figurine I made too."
"Alright, the figurine you made probably won't taste good. When we come back, I'll teach you how to make it."
Li Nianfan smiled as he patted their heads, "If Lady Nuwo could make figurines like you do, I'm afraid the line between humans and monsters would be blurred."
