After Chef Li finished breakfast, he crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
"If I'm going to make a cake..."
"What is a cake?"
Shang Qinqing asked with a serious expression.
Although Clan Leader Shang didn't yet know exactly what it was, as the former God of Love in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she keenly sensed that this item might be related to whether she could get her fill of sweetness today.
Li Mo said earnestly, "It's a kind of food. Eating cake on your birthday is as important as eating mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Like a mooncake..."
Shang Qinqing's eyes widened slightly.
She remembered that when Little Bing'er was in the Qingluan Clan, she held a mooncake like a treasure, and later even planned to hang it on the Marriage Tree...
If she participated in the cake making, then it would be perfectly justified for her to get some sweets.
Shang Qinqing said with firm eyes, "Li Mo, this Qingluan Clan Chief will help you with all her might. Just tell me what you need!"
"Hmm, there are indeed some places where Clan Leader Shang's help is needed."
Li Mo thought for a moment about the basic requirements for making a cake:
"First, I need a Pill Furnace."
"What do you need a Pill Furnace for?"
Shang Qinqing was puzzled. What kind of food could use a Pill Furnace?
"Making a cake requires an oven, but that thing probably can't be made in a short time, so I can only use a Pill Furnace instead."
"You can also do Alchemy?"
Wu Qing was a little surprised.
It was well-known that Chef Li had good attainments in Alchemy. He nodded and said, "I even once refined a Nine-窍 Dragon Tiger Golden Pill with the Genius Alchemy Great Master Xue Lao, and I've also refined many other pills."
"The success rate... was an astonishing one hundred percent!"
Of course, if he jumped into the Pill Furnace himself, it would be a miracle if he failed.
"!"
Shang Qinqing obviously knew what that was, and the way she looked at Li Mo changed.
That was a Divine Pill that Great Shang had once prepared to refine with the full power of the nation, something no Alchemy Great Master could touch; a Grandmaster would be closer.
But Xiao Mo's expression clearly didn't seem like he was boasting.
"I've noted it. What else do you need?"
"Some Materials."
"Tell me."
"First, do you have eggs?"
"?"
"Uh, chicken eggs."
In short, a unique birthday cake making session began.
To be able to justifiably get some sweets today, Shang Qinqing even personally beat the eggs, and then watched attentively as Little Li Pill Master kneaded the dough, stirred, made cream, and started the furnace to bake the cake.
Clan Chief Shang felt that the previous steps were all fine; she could learn them with just one look.
Except for the final step of drawing with cream.
In the afternoon, they set off separately. Li Mo used the Somersault Cloud's technique of traveling thousands of miles, while Shang Qinqing traversed the Void Realm.
...
Qingmu City.
Jiawei Restaurant was still doing excellent business, bustling with activity, and the smoke from the barbecue lingered.
Recently, there were clearly more Jianghu people coming to Qingmu City, after all, such a major event had occurred in Qingmu City, and there were also two young Prodigies from the top five of the Qianlong Ranking, thus making it famous.
"Is that Han Xianzi?"
"No wonder at her age, she's not only in the top five of the Qianlong Ranking but also in the top three of the Hundred Flowers Exquisite Beauty List."
"Ning Nüxia from Wenyu Fort is also heroic and spirited, but in front of her, she inexplicably seems to fall a head short."
"What are they doing?"
At the entrance of Jiawei Restaurant, a group of Jianghu guests discussed the two people about to fight.
Tall trees catch the wind.
Every young hero on the Qianlong Ranking had no shortage of people coming to challenge them; some wanted to test their martial arts and improve their skills, while others were arrogant, feeling they were not inferior and wanted to prove themselves through this.
After all, defeating a Dragon of Hidden Potential ranked above oneself meant taking their place.
And at this moment, two people stood at the entrance of Jiawei Restaurant.
One was Ning Liushu, ranked in the fifties on the Qianlong Ranking. A jade-colored long whip hung at her waist, and she stood ready, looking at the girl opposite her with a slight frown.
The girl standing there seemed isolated from her surroundings.
She wore a dark black Immortal-retaining dress, held a long sword, and her eyes were cold; it seemed as if the outside noise would automatically disappear around her.
She seemed not to care much about this duel.
It was as if she was so annoyed that she had no choice but to reluctantly come out and establish her authority, so that future challengers would weigh themselves before thinking of challenging her again.
The twilight ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ spilled, elongating her graceful shadow like a startled swan, and also cast her face in a mix of light and shadow.
"If I win against you, Daddy will never make me compete for a marriage again, you..."
"Can we start?"
"..."
It was well-known that Jianghu people would usually exchange a few words before fighting, perhaps some polite phrases, or perhaps mutual provocations to dampen the other's spirit.
But Han Xianzi didn't follow Jianghu rules, yet it inexplicably seemed quite reasonable.
She seemed not to belong to this human world in the first place.
"Hmm... please enlighten me!"
Whoosh—
As soon as Ning Liushu finished speaking and was about to pick up her whip, she found that the figure opposite her had disappeared.
Then her back felt a little cold.
A sword sheath was pressed against her lower back.
"It's over already?"
"I didn't even see it clearly."
"Neither side even released their Divine Intention... No, rather, Ning Nüxia didn't even have the qualification to release her Divine Intention..."
"That God Hammer Little Overlord Li Mo, who is her age, can actually rank above her?"
Hearing the familiar name, Ying Bing's heart stirred. She subconsciously scanned the crowd but didn't see that face. She gently pursed her lips and turned to enter the restaurant. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Han Xianzi asked the boss for a serving of barbecue with Li Mo's special sauce.
And including her, no one present noticed that there was a white cloud in the sky that was different from the surrounding ones.
"That was close, almost got discovered."
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, a birthday had to be a surprise.
He and Shang Qinqing exchanged glances and quietly went to a private room on the second floor to set up the scene.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Ying Bing easily won the duel, astonishing everyone who witnessed it, but she herself felt little joy of victory.
She ate her barbecue quietly, her eyes a little vacant.
"Miss Ying, is something on your mind?"
The proprietress, who came to deliver the skewers, couldn't help but ask.
"No," Ying Bing shook her head.
It was just a birthday alone.
She had been alone countless times during holidays and festivals, she was long used to it, what difference did today make...
"But I feel like you've been a little different lately."
The proprietress found it strange.
In the past, Miss Ying also looked cool and aloof, with Immortal Qi, but not like now, so detached from the world.
It was as if an Immortal Fairy who had descended to the mortal realm had lost her human touch and was about to float back to the heavens.
"Oh, oh, eating barbecue alone, are we?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ying Bing immediately looked up, but only saw Shang Qinqing leaning by the door.
