"His ’lody’ has three more variations than mine..."
"Terrifying!"
After tasting Xia Yu’s noodles, Gaius’s mind was tumultuous.
anwhile, Xia Yu tasted Gaius’s ’grilled marinated octopus’ and began to tremble slightly, as if an enchanting lody enveloped him, surrounding him in three dinsions, imrsing him completely.
"Octopus, octopus, octopus, octopus, octopus..."
"Dancing in the waves..."
Ah, it’s still no good, having a dish with its own background music is indeed magical. With a mouthful of juicy octopus tentacle, Xia Yu suddenly held his head in his hands and shafully self-mocked, "Swinging, swinging... moving with the lody, this isn’t at all! It’s my cousin playing with my account!"
Amidst the self-mocking, the refreshing gust ford by lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil seed to spill from his lips.
Slightly exhaling.
"No wonder Gaius confidently calls it the ’Domain of Freshness’."
Accepting the setting of magical background music, such a specialty dish is truly impressive.
Involuntarily giving Gaius a thumbs up, Xia Yu said, "I underestimated you, Mr. Gaius. Even without the ’Spiritual Treasure Vault,’ I believe you can find your own supre path."
What do you an by finding a supre path without using cooking utensils? I’m already standing at the pinnacle!
Gaius’s face darkened, just as he was about to say sothing, ding ding ding, at that mont ca several crisp sounds of coins falling into a bowl, amplified by the microphone, resounding throughout the cruise ship hall. Gaius heard it, quickly glanced at the "coin-tossing tube" piled with shiny gold coins, then suddenly fell silent.
Perhaps, over the past six months, Gaius had already built a sufficiently strong psychological defense, albeit a defense against failure.
"Then—"
Xia Yu suddenly turned around, heading towards Gaius’s kitchen, "I’ll take that cooking utensil."
Hearing this, Gaius’s face flashed through a series of emotions like panic, fear, and despair.
"Wait..."
But Doris stopped him, shaking her head at her father, "This is his well-deserved spoils of war."
"Father, you should think carefully about how to maintain your ’ocean domain’ at a certain height without the ’Spiritual Treasure Vault’... or even aim for higher heights."
eting his daughter’s expectant eyes, Gaius was stunned.
"Can I?" After a while, he suddenly asked. At this mont, the broadcast was already showing Xia Yu raising the tal cabinet high, Gaius’s expression was complicated, "Without the ’Spiritual Treasure Vault,’ can I still... go further?"
"You are still young," Doris encouraged.
Young?
Following Doris’s gaze, Gaius glanced over at the judging panel.
A sea of silvery-white hair.
Yet he was in his pri, with a full head of hair and plenty of vigor. Only when it ca to youth, Gaius suddenly tasted bitterness, his eyes reflecting the image of a young man raising the legendary cooking utensil, declaring the eight legendary cooking utensils assembled. He let out a long breath, "Why do I feel like I’m already old and frail?"
Doris imdiately puffed her cheeks, "Don’t compare yourself to that little monster!"
...
The night was thick.
Whoosh, the waves crashed against the side of the cruise ship, the bright moon hung high in the sky above the sea, the chilly moonlight illuminating the sea-view room on the upper levels of the cruise ship, with the curtains fluttering in the rising wind on the balcony.
Xia Yu stood there, his eyes wide open.
On his retinas, eight glowing cards were spinning vividly.
The latest card depicted the miniature ’Spiritual Treasure Vault’.
Sweeping his gaze over.
Including the ’Spiritual Treasure Vault,’ there were the ’Eternal Spirit Blade,’ ’Dragon Pot,’ ’Greedy Wolf Pot,’ ’Magic Saint Copper Artifact,’ ’Kakura Blade,’ and both the male and female Jade Dragon Pot.
A total of eight cooking utensils!
Eight super SSR item cards!
"Ding!"
Suddenly, in his vision, the eight cards rged into one.
Boom.
A door was forming.
Xia Yu was dazed, involuntarily reaching out, "A door?"
But just as his hand was about to touch the void, a voice ca from behind, "Yu?"
The door had quietly opened, and Sen Tian Makoto and Tiqie Helinai entered the room.
Zhu Qing also arrived.
Her usually bold and mischievous self stood at the door, eyeing Xia Yu’s silhouette amid the fluttering curtains, a bit timid.
Even Zhu Qing was hesitant, let alone Makki and Eriina.
Xia Yu tilted his head, "Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Co in!"
Click, the door closed, Zhu Qing, patting her ample chest, walked over and said, "You just scared to death, like a horror movie. You don’t know, when I opened the door and saw you on the balcony, I felt like you were about to ’biu’ and disappear!"
’Biu’ and disappear? Xia Yu’s face turned dark, hey, don’t make your own sound effects, what kind of funny exit sound effect is this, my closing BGM should be majestic and high-pitched, right?
But he spoke seriously, "Hmm, maybe I will ’biu’ and disappear."
Sen Tian Makki imdiately got nervous, letting out a sound.
"Yu, you’ve just finished one journey, and you’re going on another?" The girl spoke with a slightly pouty mouth, showing obvious displeasure.
The fact that the usually good-tempered young woman expressed such an emotion indicated that over the past six months, Xia Yu had seemingly neglected them, with conversations limited to social dia, rarely even speaking on the phone.
Tiqie Helinai crossed her arms, didn’t co over, her gaze cold and piercing.
Seeing this, Xia Yu sighed inwardly.
Wow, that was close to a big mistake.
If he had ignored everything and directly touched the door, truly disappearing in a ’biu,’ wouldn’t Makki and Eriina be like abandoned kittens, waiting for soone else to adopt? Xia Yu shivered at the thought, no way, I’m determined not to be a scumbag, but I can’t also shout slogans like won are clothes that a Chef God changes as he pleases, that would really be isolating, with severe consequences.
...
The day after the cruise ship competition ended, the world’s dia, not limited to the Chinese Realm, were extensively reporting the reunion of the eight legendary cooking utensils after a hundred years.
The news imdiately caused a global sensation.
In the Imperial City, in a secret underground vault.
Thud!
The eighth utensil landed heavily in the transparent display case.
Zhu Ji, Yan Qi, Xia Qing and others, a group of old n, couldn’t contain their excitent, their eyes wide open, "Eight, eight cooking utensils have been assembled."
"The secret of longevity?"
"Or sothing else?"
Suddenly, a burst of light exploded, the entire basent was perated with dazzling brightness.
Xia Yu raised his hand to shield himself but smiled.
A very familiar cooking glow.
For a cook, this was the hallelujah-like holy light.
The door appeared again.
But it didn’t appear only in the void of his retina; it materialized in the basent.
The light near the door twisted.
Strands of mysterious light appeared and disappeared.
Magic door!
At this mont, everyone present heard a voice, seemingly coming from the depths of a grand hall, carrying an irresistible authority, "...death or life, endless reincarnation..."
"Mute!"
But Xia Yu suddenly told the system.
"?"
"Mute the voice."
"???"
"So, can I choose... to say it later?" Xia Yu’s mind flashed with the delicate faces of Makki and Eriina. If beyond the door was another cooking world, he thought, Makki and Eriina’s culinary skills were not yet qualified to venture forth.
He wanted to wait a little longer.
Besides, here, his culinary journey hadn’t truly reached its peak yet.
And Xia Yu felt that in this place, there were people who cared about him and those he cared about.
The ti wasn’t right yet.
