“Liu Xiao, wake up!” The Great Desolate Priest frowned and used a flick of his sleeve to disperse the profound pressure emanating from Liu Xiao for Yun Che. This was also the first time he had seen Liu Xiao lose his composure like this.
The expression of the priest Liu Xiao was dull, his hands trembling slightly, his fingers falling on the location of "Shifang Canglan Realm", his breathing could not calm down for a long time, his fingertips lightly touched the pages of the book and slid slowly, as if he wanted to imprint all the words in the book into his heart.
"What's going on?" Priest Wan Dao was also confused. He had never seen Priest Liu Xiao look so distraught.
But Priest Liu Xiao still did not respond, immersed in his own little world.
Swish!
The pages of the book were carefully turned again, and another recipe called "Xuanxiao Yulu Soup" suddenly appeared in the eyes of Priest Liuxiao.
Xuanxiao Yulu Soup: Crafted using a unique method, Xuanxiao grass, a species unique to the Ten Directions Canglan Realm, and jade dew imbued with the profound energy of heaven and earth, are specially brewed. Growing high atop misty mountains, Xuanxiao grass absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, boasting refreshing and nourishing properties. This soup is smooth and refreshing, with a delicate aroma that evokes a sense of ethereal tranquility amidst the mist.
His fingertips rubbed the pages of the book blankly, and the three words "Xuanxiaocao" were wiped over and over again until there was no trace of ink. He stopped only then, as if he had transferred the object from the pages of the book to his heart.
Tick!
A drop of hot tear soaked the place where the "Xuanxiao Grass" was erased, and then dissipated and was absorbed by the paper, as if the emotions contained in the tears melted into the silent paper.
The Great Wilderness Priest and the Ten Thousand Dao Priest looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They stood aside silently without saying a word.
The eyes of the Lingxian priest were focused on the book in the hands of the Liuxiao priest. When a name engraved in her memory appeared in her eyes, a complex expression appeared on her face.
It was obvious that the Lingxian priestess knew something. She was much older than Liu Xiao, and she had watched Liu Xiao grow up.
Yun Che keenly noticed the strange look on Priest Liuxiao's face when he saw the "Ten Directions Canglan Realm". He had naturally already read the book that Cang Shu'e had given him. He had originally wanted to make up a reason to explain the place name, but now it seemed that there was no need.
Priest Liu Xiao's fingertips turned another page, and the third recipe appeared before him.
Phantom Star Roasted Dragon Sashimi: "Phantom Star" refers to the Phantom Star fish caught from the Phantom Star River in the Ten Directions Canglan Realm. The fish is covered with dreamy starlight, and the meat is delicate and tender, melting in the mouth; "Dragon Sashimi" is made from a rare ingredient that grows in the mountains and looks like dragon tendons. After roasting, the meat is firm and chewy, and paired with the Phantom Star fish, the taste is rich and unique.
This was followed by the fourth, fifth, and tenth ones.
Priest Liu Xiao didn't care about his surroundings, nor did he care about where he was at the moment. Excitement and disbelief lingered in his mind for a long time.
For millions of years since he fell into the abyss, Priest Liu Xiao has been using the crazy image of a man immersed in cooking to cover up the emptiness and sadness in his heart. He has never told anyone about his past in the realm of gods. Almost everyone in the abyss thinks that Priest Liu Xiao is an optimistic and open-minded person, but only he himself knows that this is not his true self.
Memories began to resurface...
"Hey, is your name Liu Xiao? What a strange name." A young girl commented while staring at Liu Xiao's nameplate.
"Give it... give it back to me!" Liu Xiao struggled to get up and wanted to take the nameplate back.
"Oh, you're so badly injured, don't move. I'll give it back to you." The girl pouted, a little annoyed. "But you don't deserve this name at all. You never like to smile. You always have a stern face. It's so ugly."
Liu Xiao's appearance is actually very outstanding. The girl was attracted by his handsomeness, so she rescued him.
"Thank you very much for saving my life, young lady." Liu Xiao took back his nameplate and breathed a sigh of relief. This was the identity badge of a subordinate of the God of Mo Su, and it was the most important thing to Liu Xiao. "I wonder if the young lady could tell me your name? I will definitely come to thank you in the future."
"Hmph, I don't need that. Wait until you're healed and then leave. I'll pretend I've never seen you." The girl smeared the herbs on Liu Xiao's thigh viciously, but she didn't control her strength because she was too angry.
“Uh ah ah ah ah ah…” Liu Xiao’s wailing voice “resonated through the sky”.
"Ah, no... I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean it." The girl hurriedly moved her hand away, a blush on her face, looking a little embarrassed. "Well, to make it up to you, I'll give you the Cang Hai Xuan Zhu pot that I'm reluctant to eat. This is a treasure from our Shifang Canglan Realm, and it's very delicious."
The girl reluctantly handed her favorite food to Liu Xiao. She deliberately turned her head away and refused to look, but her throat couldn't help but make a swallowing sound, which was very embarrassing.
"Don't worry, I'll leave all of these to you. I won't snatch a single bite. The black beads are so beautiful, how can I bear to eat them..." The girl put down the Canghai Black Pearl Pot, turned around and muttered softly.
At this moment, her cheeks became very hot, like a ripe red cherry, showing the girl's shyness to the fullest.
Liu Xiao scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't want to let out such a "pig-slaughtering" scream, but the pain was unbearable.
"Miss, you should eat it yourself. I am a Xuanzhe and don't need to eat this kind of ordinary food." Liu Xiao evaded.
But these words had a different meaning when they fell into the girl's ears.
"Are you looking down on the delicacies of our Shifang Canglan Realm? This is unforgivable. This is the most delicious thing in the world! No, you must taste it today. I must let you know what the best food is!" The girl pouted again, and regardless of whether Liu Xiao was willing or not, she directly stuffed a mouthful of Canghai Xuanzhu pot into his mouth.
