The kitchen was bustling with activity, with the sounds of chopping vegetables, stir-frying, and the chef's urging.
Qu Yingli came to the chef and said, "Hello, Chef. I would like to ask if I can use the stove in the kitchen." She just looked and saw that there were one or two empty stoves in the kitchen.
"Go! Go! Go! Stop making trouble." The chef waved his hand impatiently at Qu Yingli. Didn't this woman see they were busy? Why did she come here to cause trouble?
"Chef, please let me use the stove. I can teach you how to cook a dish." Qu Yingli pleaded with the chef without giving up. She knew that Su Yanxi asked her to cook medicinal food to test her, so how could she give up the opportunity?
"You want to teach me how to cook? Hahaha..." The chef laughed heartily, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. He'd been cooking for decades, and while he wouldn't say he was famous in Coast Guard City, everyone knew him. Now a little girl wanted to teach her how to cook. Was she too arrogant, or perhaps too confident?
The chefs who were cooking nearby also laughed when they heard this.
"Chef, why don't you let her try it? Maybe she can really make a good dish."
"That's right, some people don't have self-awareness."
"If you don't let her try, she'll really think her cooking skills are unbeatable."
The various laughters that came one after another also aroused Qu Yingli's unyielding side. She looked at the chef stubbornly, as if she was ready to compete with him.
"Well, I want to see what you can cook. There's an empty stove over there, I'll lend it to you." The chef pointed disdainfully at the stove not far away.
Qu Yingli smiled slightly and walked over. She had just taken a quick look at the ingredients in the kitchen, and it just so happened that everything she wanted was there.
The chef withdrew his gaze and shouted to the crowd, "Hurry up, there are people waiting outside. What are you looking at? Cook your own dishes."
After selecting the ingredients, Qu Yingli began to put them into the pot in order.
The chef curled his lips in disdain and began to busy himself with his own work. He would be able to see how Qu Yingli's dish turned out once she was done.
A mouth-watering aroma wafted out from the pot in front of Qu Yingli. Even though the surrounding area was filled with the aroma of vegetables, it still couldn't cover up the smell.
The chef sniffed hard and looked at Qu Yingli in surprise, "Is this the smell of the dish you cooked?" The smell was so fragrant that he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He wondered what it tasted like.
"Hmm." Qu Yingli nodded, opened the lid of the pot and looked at the medicinal food inside. She felt that it was almost done, so she took a bowl and scooped a small bowl, then said to the chef, "Try it."
The chef strode over, took the bowl from Qu Yingli, and swallowed it in one gulp, not caring whether it was hot or not. His brows slowly relaxed, his face full of surprise and disbelief. "Delicious!" He had been cooking for decades, and it was rare for him to eat such delicious food. No wonder she had the confidence to teach him how to cook. He regretted not watching her cooking steps just now.
"As long as you teach me how to make this dish, you can use the stove as you wish." The chef looked at Qu Yingli expectantly. It didn't matter if she slapped him in the face, as long as she could learn how to cook.
Qu Yingli nodded and said, "Actually, it's very simple to make this dish. The main things are the ingredients and the right heat." She carefully explained the ingredients and steps needed for cooking.
The chef nodded continuously, his face filled with joy. From now on, their Yingbin Restaurant would have another signature dish.
Seeing Qu Yingli walk in with a bowl of medicinal food, Su Yanxi curled his lips and smiled. She was quite capable.
Qu Yingli placed the bowl on the table and handed it to Su Yanxi. "Try it and see if it tastes good." She was looking forward to Su Yanxi's expression after eating the medicinal food she made. She was still very confident about the medicinal food she made.
Su Yanxi picked up the spoon from the bowl, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction. "Since your performance is not bad, I will first teach you the most basic cultivation method."
"Really, that's great!" Qu Yingli cheered happily.
Five days passed unnoticed. Luo Ying and Lan Moqi could no longer remain as calm as before. They looked at Su Jinyue, who was studying the chess pieces on the board, hoping that she could find a way out quickly.
Su Jinyue's face lit up with a bright smile as she reached out and began to move the pieces on the chessboard. These pieces were indeed a formation, but the level of the formation was beyond her ability. If she hadn't been using the formation flags to deduce the situation, she probably wouldn't have been able to find a way to break it.
As the slender jade-like fingers continued to move on the chessboard, the scene in the wooden house was constantly changing.
Luo Ying and Lan Moqi watched all this in surprise. Su Jinyue must have found a way out, and they could finally get out.
A water mirror, the same one as the one they had seen before, with ripples rippling from shallow to deep, slowly appeared in front of the three of them.
"Get out now," Su Jinyue said. She could only unlock the gate for a split second; after that, the gate would disappear again.
Luo Ying and Lan Moqi stepped out of the formation gate without hesitation, and Su Jinyue followed closely behind. As she walked out of the formation gate, she raised her hand and rolled the chessboard and chess pieces into her own golden leaf world.
"Give me back the chessboard!" A sharp voice came from behind Su Jinyue.
A withered hand, with only skin and bones left, stretched out from the formation gate, trying to grab Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue raised her hand and summoned fire. The hand was burned and retracted, and at the same time, the array gate disappeared without a trace.
"What's going on?" Luo Ying and Lan Moqi looked at Su Jinyue in shock. They hadn't even noticed that there was someone else inside.
"It's a remnant soul, it wants to take over my body." Su Jinyue said with a curled lip. The remnant soul was hiding in the chessboard. As soon as she unlocked the formation, the remnant soul would immediately take over her body.
But the other party hadn't anticipated that she had already discovered it and secretly set up a formation. When she released the formation and the remnant soul left the chessboard, the formation she had set would activate. Although it could only control the remnant soul for half a breath, it was enough. This remnant soul was definitely not an ordinary remnant soul. It was proficient in formations. If it hadn't been in there for so long, its strength had decreased, she would have been in great danger this time.
"Thank goodness you're okay." Luo Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had gotten out and Su Jinyue was trapped inside, he would have felt guilty for the rest of his life.
"Luoying, I want to go to Snow Hill Country. Is there still time?" Su Jinyue asked. There were only two days left before Dragon Valley closed. If she didn't reach Snow Hill Country, she would be teleported back to Sunshine Country.
