"Fairy Xu, Fairy Xu, what flavor of candy is this?"
Zhao Lang seemed a little impatient, looking at Xu Milu with a curious expression.
The news that Nezha had acquired a pair of mythical beasts spread throughout the Third Prince's palace. These little demons, aside from being summoned by the Third Prince to help compile the records of mortals' wishes, usually stayed in their own places to cultivate diligently, day after day for decades, and there was really nothing new to do.
Now that two such rare and exotic beasts have arrived, they are naturally extremely curious.
"Hmm—"
Xu Milu smacked her lips and commented very objectively:
"The wool this time is a bit stiff, and it tastes like whipped cream. The texture is amazing, it melts in your mouth. I also fed them half a bowl of strawberries, which added a touch of sweet and sour flavor. I think the Third Prince will like it."
Cream and strawberry were both unfamiliar terms, but Nezha didn't ask any questions. Instead, he imitated Xu Milu, scooping up a wad of wool and stuffing it into his mouth. The moment the soft, pink filling entered his mouth, he stared in astonishment.
"What is this? How can it be so soft and delicate? It should be cream cheese, but it's also sweeter, completely unlike anything I've tasted before—"
The two little fairies, Nongchao and Zhaolang, watched with envy but dared not make a move. Xu Milu saw this and beckoned to the two little fairies, saying:
"The pastries I made this time are very soft, would you like to try some?"
She flipped her palm down, and several white porcelain plates appeared in her hand. She had bought them when she went to Hengdian World Studios last time because they looked nice, and they had been sitting in her system inventory ever since.
Nezha glanced at the two little demons, said nothing, and instead took a white porcelain plate from Xu Milu and filled it with a large piece of strawberry cream.
Nongchao and Zhaolang exchanged a glance, their faces lighting up with joy. They accepted the gift and thanked him profusely.
"Thank you for the reward, Third Prince. Thank you for the reward, Fairy Xu."
"Thank you for the reward, Third Prince. Thank you for the reward, Fairy Xu."
The excellent taste of strawberry cream completely won over the two little carp spirits. The Tang Dynasty had a wide variety of pastries, but it did not yet have the technology of whipping cream. Therefore, they were naturally amazed by this sweet and creamy pastry.
"I have a new way to eat it."
Xu Milu took out a plate of climbing ivy vine strawberries. The fist-sized strawberries were red and very tempting, and the strawberry stems were fresh green.
She picked up a strawberry, dipped it all over the wool, and the pink cream perfectly coated the whole strawberry. With one bite, the first thing she felt was the light creamy aroma, followed by the fruity fragrance of strawberry exploding in her mouth. The double layer of deliciousness was simply a sweet attack.
—Thank you for the magic that can ward off dust.
Nezha was also conquered; he ate almost half of the strawberry cream by himself, and later discovered that there was such a wonderful way to eat strawberries dipped in cream, which made him shine several degrees.
He even learned on his own how to feed the Cloud Sheep chilled milk. The two sheep simply lowered their heads, sniffed the milk, and then began to lick the milk from the bucket.
"Clatter, clatter."
"Clatter, clatter."
When the last drop of iced milk was drunk by the two sheep, their wool began to change. Clumps of milky white wool slowly secreted from their fur, turning into peculiar spirals. The wool, slightly chilled, felt slightly stiff to the touch and had a faint milky aroma.
"This is... ice cream?"
Xu Milu was already somewhat numb. She tried carefully cutting off a piece of "wool" with a dagger and placing it on a plate. Once she tasted it, she became even more certain.
The milk flavor is very rich, and every bite is exceptionally smooth, without any grainy texture or cheap creamer taste. The icy-cool texture is wonderful. The only downside is that it's not the height of summer now. Otherwise, holding a big, non-melting block of ice cream and munching on it would be an absolute delight.
"It's delicious."
Nezha stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and a piece of ice cream flew up and landed accurately in front of his mouth. He took a bite, and a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"It has a strange texture, like cheese, and a bit like a flaky pastry, but the taste is even better."
Soon, all the wool on the two sheep was eaten. Xu Milu had left some cream to bake a strawberry cake that night, but Nezha clearly had no intention of giving up the experiment. He looked at the two sheep with eager anticipation, his eyes filled with "I want to try again."
This Nezha looks completely different from the lifeless golden statue in the temple.
Seemingly noticing that Xu Milu was watching him, Nezha suddenly coughed a few times, regaining his composure from when they first met.
"Ahem, everything should be taken in moderation, and we should not exhaust the resources. Let's try again tomorrow. You two take her to find a place to stay. She is only human and needs to sleep at night. Let's prepare the Yangyue Palace for her to live in."
With that, he put his hands behind his back and rode away on his whirlwind, leaving a large clump of cream on his face. His still-childish face looked rather cute.
"He's still just a child."
Xu Milu couldn't help but chuckle and secretly shook her head.
...
...
Over the next few days, Xu Milu and Nezha tried countless ways of feeding the sheep different ingredients, resulting in almond milk flavor, peach-flavored cream, peach-flavored ice cream, watermelon flavor, watermelon-flavored cream, watermelon-flavored ice cream...
On one occasion, Xu Milu accidentally fed one of the sheep a cassava, and black pearls grew on the sheep's wool. The texture of these pearls was a perfect replica of the pearls in bubble tea on Earth.
