Chapter 379: Feel the Joy of Being Alive Again



Going forward, in this picturesque world, a thatched cottage appeared not far ahead.

It was a very ordinary cottage, but it complemented the surrounding scenery and gave people an incomparable warm feeling.

Orange-clothed man was carrying a bunch of things and rushing towards the cottage.

Outside the cottage, more than a hundred meters away, a man with a goatee, a hair crown, and a brown robe stood by the stream, with his hands behind his back and a worried look on his face, but he pretended to be calm and looked at the stream as if nothing had happened.

Orange was walking in excitedly when she saw the man. Her face suddenly turned serious and she hurriedly tidied up the pots and pans in her hands. She then said respectfully, "Orange meets His Majesty."

"Okay, I've told you so many times. These courtesies are no longer necessary."

The man waved his hand and said with a smile, "Did you find anything when you went out this time?"

Orange couldn't help but smile, "This time I met the seventh sister."

"Seventh sister?"

The man was slightly stunned and said in surprise, "How did you meet? Can you leave the Heavenly Palace or can she enter the Heavenly Palace?"

"Orange, ignore him, come here and talk!"

Suddenly, a majestic voice came, and the man and Orange were shocked at the same time.

"Your Majesty, Orange will take his leave."

"Ahem, go ahead." The man waved his hands, his expression did not seem to change at all.

In front of the thatched cottage, there was a pavilion, in which sat a woman wearing a golden robe and with her hair draped over her shoulders.

The first impression of this woman was that she was elegant and noble. In terms of temperament, she was actually somewhat similar to Orange. It should be said that Orange learned her temperament from her.

In addition to these, this woman had an extremely beautiful face, but people did not dare to have blasphemous thoughts. She exuded the aura of a mother of the world, majestic and majestic, and people dared not disrespect her.

Orange lowered his head and said respectfully, "Orange has met the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Sit down!"

Orange sat down as she was told and whispered, "Queen Mother, are you and His Majesty the Jade Emperor having a conflict again?"

She felt a little tired. It had only been a short time since she left, and the two of them... quarreled again?

For so many years, they had a big quarrel every three days and a small quarrel every two days. She couldn't figure out why there were so many quarrels.

"Hmph!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "I was about to win this game of chess, but he used despicable means to turn defeat into victory. What a heartless thing!"

Orange looked at the chessboard in front of her, looked left and right, and couldn't see where the Queen Mother's so-called advantage was. Well... it was a bit of a miser.

The Jade Emperor was really something, he didn't even know to give the Queen Mother a break.

Cheng Yi couldn't help but think a little bit: Oh, it seems that the last quarrel was caused by the Jade Emperor giving in to the Queen Mother.

In the words of the Queen Mother, with my chess skills, do I need you to give in? Are you looking down on me?

Oh, the Jade Emperor... it's really difficult.

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and pointed, and the chessboard disappeared immediately. Then she looked at Cheng Yi and said, "Cheng'er, have you seen Zi'er? Where did you see her?"

The Jade Emperor was still looking at the stream, as if he had turned into a statue, but he raised his ears and listened.

Orange said immediately: "My queen, we met in the Heavenly Palace. Seventh sister broke the seal of the Heavenly Palace."

"Broken the seal?"

Queen Mother frowned slightly, shook her head and sighed: "This girl is a bit crazy. She is forcibly going against the trend. It will be a problem sooner or later. Have you persuaded her? Let her stop."

"Over the years, Seventh sister has grown a lot." Orange paused and said: "I talked a lot with Seventh sister this time. She said that a master appeared in this world. The situation of the world was also changed by this master. Not only did he establish Buddhism, but he also established the emperor of man. Even the underworld was rebuilt by him."

Silence.

Queen Mother was stunned, and the Jade Emperor was stunned.

After a long time, the Queen Mother took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Orange nodded, and then said: "Seventh sister should not be joking, and... the two Daluo Jinxians guarding the Heavenly Palace were killed by that expert."

The Queen Mother's eyes showed deep thought, "Yes, relying on your seventh sister alone, it is absolutely not the opponent of the Daluo Jinxian. Could it be that some kind of accident really happened?"

She couldn't help but look at the Jade Emperor to discuss, but saw that the Jade Emperor was also looking at her at the same time. His face suddenly sank, and he snorted arrogantly and turned his head away.

He looked at himself and said: "If this is true, that expert may not be simple."

The Jade Emperor couldn't help but shook his head with a bitter smile. In this situation, he could still bear to ignore me.

They were all thinking in their hearts, who could be so generous as to do such a thing.

"By the way, Queen, my seventh sister asked me to bring you some good things!"

Orange said as she began to put down the pots, bowls, and pans in her hands, arranging them neatly on the table bit by bit.

The Queen Mother saw this and couldn't help but shook her head in amusement, "You, you are the most stable among the seven fairies. Why are you making trouble just because your seventh sister is making trouble? What are you doing with these things?"

She actually noticed it when Orange just came back. She

thought it was something good, after all, it was rare for Orange to carry so many bags without caring about her image, but when she saw it, she was completely disappointed.

It was nothing but various kinds of meat and vegetables. What good things were they?

How could the Queen Mother of Heaven be interested in these things?

The Queen Mother took another look at the meats and could not help but frown slightly, showing some disdain.

Since becoming the Queen Mother, she has basically said goodbye to these mundane things. She eats the spiritual roots of heaven and earth and drinks the essence of jade. She cannot eat meat because it is too low-grade. She is extravagant and only eats the essence of dragon liver and wind marrow, but she is already tired of it.

"My Queen, this is what my seventh sister finally got from the master. It is called hot pot. It is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life."

As Cheng Yi said this, she had already started to prepare and light the fire.

The Queen Mother could not help but shake her head and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the master only eats these things?"

Her evaluation of the master in her heart suddenly dropped. The master who eats these things is probably not that good.

After all, let alone saints, even ordinary immortals have basically bid farewell to their appetites. They will eat immortal fruits when they find them, and if they don’t have any, they don’t have to eat them at all. The so-called five grains are nothing more than what ordinary people eat.

"Your Majesty, this hot pot is absolutely delicious. It's really an enjoyment that even a god would not exchange for it."

Orange naturally praised the hot pot. She swallowed her saliva in anticipation and said, "Your Majesty, you have been trapped here for so long, and it's very boring. Orange also knows that you are suffering. You must try this hot pot. It will definitely make you feel the joy of being alive again."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt her eyes warm. She said in a complex tone, "You silly child, why are you saying such sensational words? We have survived for endless years. There is no difference between being alive and dead. We have long forgotten about fun."

Orange accompanied the Queen Mother and naturally understood her very well. His words hit the nail on the head.

The Jade Emperor, who had been paying attention to this place, stroked his beard, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Hey, Cheng'er, for us, it's boring no matter where we are. You brought these food here just to add some color to our lives. We appreciate your kindness, but... forget about eating. Your queen and I have extraordinary self-control. Are we the kind of people who indulge in appetite?"

Cheng Yi immediately said coquettishly, "Oh, try it. This hot pot is very fragrant. Maybe you like it?"

The Queen Mother was helpless and smiled dotingly, "Okay, okay, it's rare that you and Xiao Qi are interested. Then try it. I'll watch from the side."

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother sighed in their hearts at the same time and shook their heads secretly.

They couldn't help but look up and look at the scenery around them, and the sadness in their eyes became even worse.

No matter how beautiful the surrounding scenery is, it is such a small place. Living here for tens of thousands of years, you have to stay here all the time and you will be bored. It is actually like being sealed.

You can't see the outside world, let alone the life outside. If someone with a bad character were here, he would have gone crazy.

They both know why they quarrel from time to time. It is to add some fun to life. Otherwise... life would be so boring.

But this hot pot... obviously can't make them feel moved.

Xiao Qi is still naive. The expert she met is probably unreliable. She has to be careful not to be cheated by this expert. She might be tricked by him.

"Gugugugu."

As he was thinking, the red soup in the pot began to boil, bubbles appeared, and wisps of hot air rose up and began to spread in all directions.

The hot air turned into smoke, slowly drifting past the noses of the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor, causing their bodies to tremble at the same time, their lips to dry, and their mouths to begin to drool.

This smell...

fragrant, more fragrant than you can imagine!

They looked at the pot at the same time. The red oil pot was bubbling because of the boiling. Inside, various seasonings were floating, and a layer of grease floated on the surface of the pot. In terms of appearance, it was completely different from the carefully crafted delicacies.

However, it is this seemingly casual appearance, coupled with the fragrance that fills the air, that can arouse people's appetite.

Yes, it is appetite!

The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor took a deep breath at the same time and suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.

How many years have passed? I can't remember clearly. I remember the last time I had an appetite, it was a long time ago when I first tasted the peaches. I was curious about the peaches. However, the feeling after eating the peaches was... nothing special.

I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still have an appetite. Moreover, unlike last time, this time it was because of the fragrance that aroused the most instinctive appetite.

Just like when a person is hungry and wants to eat, being hungry is a worry, but aren't these worries a disguised form of happiness?

After becoming an immortal, too many worries were lost, and at the same time, the easily satisfied heart was also lost!

Now, the original instinct has returned, and they... want to cry.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother did not resist this feeling, but felt more intimate.

They could not help but silently began to breathe faster, their chests rising and falling, the purpose was naturally to smell the fragrance more, it was too fragrant, just smelling it, it seemed to make people feel happy.

The Queen Mother's eyes could not help but fall on the pot, still emitting the glory of the mother of the world, sitting there, it seemed that she was not moved by the fragrance at all, just staring at the orange-clothed woman using a spoon to elegantly scoop out the meat rolls and vegetables in the pot.

Orange-clothed girl smiled secretly in her heart and put the bowl full of food in front of the Queen Mother, and continued to act coquettishly: "Queen Mother, please give me and my seventh sister a favor and let us have a taste."

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then straightened her clothes to maintain her image, and said calmly: "Well, since you have served it to me, I will try it reluctantly."

"Gudong!"

The sound of swallowing saliva suddenly came from the side.

The Jade Emperor's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly turned away awkwardly, with his back to the two of them, and coughed softly, "Ahem."

Orange immediately understood what he meant, and ran over to pull the Jade Emperor over, "Your Majesty, there are too many hot pots, let's eat some together."

The Jade Emperor sat down with a normal expression, raised his sleeves, "Your kind invitation, then I have no choice but to refuse it disrespectfully."
