Chapter 493: Noodles with Sauce



Next we flew all the way back from the interior of the West Island to the East Island, flew over the places we were familiar with, crossed the Deadly River, flew over the City Wall Mountain, arrived near the Diaolou Mountain, flew down, and arrived at the post station area. Everything here has begun to take shape, with a large amount of food planted on the hillside, smoke rising from the mountain walls, the blacksmith shop was still in operation, and on the ground, the hyena people in the city were still doing their jobs. My entire Dragon City still looked so friendly.

When the hyena people saw us in the air, they kept waving upwards, as if welcoming me back.

This is the world I am familiar with, not that other space. It was not until I saw all this on the ground that I completely relaxed and let go of my worry. The nightmare will eventually end.

Afterwards, we returned to the inn and carried Lingshang up to the second floor first. Yunwen went to fetch water in an iron basin and wiped the blood off Lingshang. She also took away all the dirty clothes that were stained on her for washing. Yunwen was doing it originally, and Su Yuexi felt bad for her, so she took the initiative to take over these chores and treated Lingshang's wounds. There were some wild herbs collected by Yunwen downstairs, and she also had some knowledge of pharmacology, so she was given the task of taking care of them.

Yunwen didn't compete with her for the job. She just pulled me to the corner and said, "You are really good. You have tamed the god of the mountain so well. You are really capable."

I scratched my neck, but then I felt something was wrong and checked again: "Are you angry?"

She shook her head, took my hand, and said, "When you were in trouble, I was not able to accompany you. It was Miss Su who took care of you and served you. She was so affectionate and loyal to you, and you were also interested in her, so why shouldn't I go with the flow and bring you two together? Besides, in this wild world, especially on this island full of infinite weirdness, it still takes a lot of fate to survive. Just like this time, if it weren't for Miss Su's guidance, you might still be in a daze at the critical moment, and you would be helpless against the Dark Lord."

I nodded and said, "Yes, without her, I really wouldn't be able to get through this, and she is really good to me."

"I've been very good to you. Over there, have you found a new love and forgotten your old one?" she asked with a pout.

I was amused when I heard this. This expression was too obvious. How could I cruelly ignore it? I pulled her over and she stumbled two steps and came to me. If nothing else, could there be any other meaning behind her pouting lips? I gave her a passionate kiss and now she was leaning against the wall. I missed her every day when I didn't see her. How could I not miss her after three days?

He was afraid that he would not be able to kiss her this time, so now that he had a chance, could he let her go? She thought the same thing, hugged him tightly, not wanting to separate for a moment.

My lips were numb from the kiss, and I was reluctant to let her go. She patted my chest shyly, and said coquettishly, "I'm going downstairs now. You stay with Lingshang. When the noodles are ready, I'll call you and Yuexi down to eat."

"I won't disturb Su Yuexi's work for now. I'll go with you and talk to you about what happened to me. You will never imagine that Yuexi and I are reliving the story that happened to us. Do you want to hear it?" I said.

She nodded, took my hand, and went downstairs together.

I told her the story that happened and all the hardships I had experienced along the way. She listened quietly, occasionally asking for some details. At the same time, she began to carefully and meticulously prepare a delicious meal for me.

I saw her skillfully cutting the potatoes into slices, and then arranging them in a row one by one. Then she quickly manipulated the iron knife in her hand and chopped the chopping board. The potato slices began to be evenly cut into thin potato strips. After cutting, she put them aside. Then she got some black fungus, some mushrooms, some vegetable roots, etc., chopped them all together, and put them in another plate.

Then she poured fish oil into the newly made iron pot, lit a fire, and fanned a match. Not long after, the pot began to crackle. She poured several dishes into it, stir-fried them with an iron spoon, sprinkled in fine salt, and poured in some chili oil. Suddenly, the heat was so intense and the aroma was so fragrant. My days of eating vegetarian fruits for a long time were finally over.

After frying, she put it aside as a sauce for noodles, then took out a wooden barrel filled with fresh flour, took out some to knead the dough, cut the noodles, brushed the pot, poured in the spring water, and after it boiled, poured the cut noodles in and started to cook over low heat. At the other side, she used some nice iron plates to prepare side dishes, including some pickled vegetable roots, pickles, etc.

My saliva is watering before I even start eating.

Finally, the noodles were served. A plate was placed in front of me. A lot of noodles were picked up from the pot. Another plate was prepared and placed at the other end of the table. The stew and side dishes were placed in the middle. He said, "Wait for me here. I'll call Yuexi down and you can eat together."

I nodded.

Not long after, Su Yuexi came down. She was also surprised by this noodle. She should have seen it before, but this kind of noodles with gravy might not be seen often. She was very surprised. After sitting next to me, she asked quietly, fearing that she was eating it wrong. I also patiently taught her. Of course, the way of teaching was to demonstrate it myself.

Pour some potato and vegetable stew and mix it. Suddenly the food seems to come alive, with endless aroma, stimulating my taste buds. I pick up the chewy noodles and take a sip. Suddenly, all the taste cells and the stomach and intestines are revived. The fragrance fills my mouth. Paired with a bite of side dishes, it is so refreshing and I feel satisfied and don't ask for anything more.

Su Yuexi obviously liked the food very much and praised it a lot, but she also asked that she be the one to do the dishes and other chores afterwards.

Yunwen and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. This girl was really too polite. She even rushed to do the work. This was the first time I heard of such a thing.

After dinner and eating some fruits, Yunwen said she had to go to take care of official business in the city. I wanted to accompany her, but she was afraid that I would be tired. Besides, the matter was not complicated. It was just to arrange some things in the blacksmith shop and notify them that I was back, so that all my people could feel at ease.

Another thing was that she felt that I couldn't neglect Su Yuexi. She had come all the way here to help me so much. Now that I was back, it would be a bit inappropriate to just leave her there. So she didn't go with me.

Su Yuexi had been busy for a long time. I saw that she had not rested at all. I knew that she was actually feeling uneasy and was afraid of affecting me here. I advised her, but she still wanted to do more things. It was not until I forced her to carry me like a princess that she shyly stopped her busy state. I carried her upstairs and let her lie next to Lingshang. I knew she must be as tired as I was.

So I intentionally persuaded her to sleep with me for a while, giving her a reason to rest. Seeing this was the case, she obediently lay on my arms. We were lying in this warm house instead of in the shade somewhere in the wilderness. It felt like everything was a lifetime ago. This was probably the best ending.

To be honest, although we were in a parallel world before, the timelines of the two worlds are synchronized. So, Su Yuexi and I set out at dawn and have been busy until now. In addition, I had eaten, so I was already feeling sleepy. Not long after lying in bed, I fell into a deep sleep, feeling warm and comfortable. I almost forgot about the snowy journey not long ago.

When I woke up, it was already dark. Only Yunwen was reading a book by the oil bowl lamp in front of the wooden table. Su Yuexi was no longer beside me, and Lingshang was no longer there. I was the only one lying on the big bed. I yawned and asked, "Where are they?"

When Yunwen saw me getting up, she turned around and said, "Yuexi said she was going back to Zijing Cave. Sister Lingshang just woke up and is taking the little fox outside. She said she will be back soon."

"Oh, what are you looking at?" I asked.

When Yunwen saw me asking, she shook her head at me with a slightly unnatural expression. However, I had excellent hearing and I immediately heard the sound of her closing the book. It seemed as if she was afraid that I would discover something, so she tried to cover it up a little too much.

"Nothing, just reading a book to kill time when I have nothing to do." She said with a somewhat uneasy tone.
