"Kirinko?"

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows.

The letter was sent to the door in the name of the leader Zhu Ji, and the content can be summed up in one sentence - congratulations on his election as the 12th generation of Qilinzi in the Chinese world.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Before you know it, the weather has changed from the coolness and slight warmth of spring to the scorching heat of midsummer.

It seems that the last time I boarded the Linshu and knew about the 'unicorn', it was during the New Year's Eve hunting in January, right?

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed.

It turned out to be unattainable, and he didn't dare to think much and have extravagant hopes, and the name of "Qilinzi", which has only been elected by 11 outstanding people since its establishment, has fallen on his head, adding a more dazzling halo to him.

In this regard, Xia Yu was emotional, but his mood was very relaxed. He defeated the Yellow Crane, jumped over the Dragon Gate, and turned into a dragon from then on, and had already left the younger generation far on the ground, and if the name of "Qilinzi" was not given to him, the entire land of China would be in an uproar and riots.

With the dragon chef to accept this "prince crown", Xia Yu has no pressure.

"What did the old guy say?" Zhu Qing saw that after Xia Yu read the letter, a refreshing smile appeared on his face.

After folding the letter and stuffing it back into the envelope, Xia Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Let me put down things as soon as possible, set off to the imperial capital, and go to the White Jade Tower." ”

"Exactly?"

"Discuss the matter of the unicorn with the dragon head......"

Xia Yu took the letter and floated away, leaving Zhu Qing who stared at Zhu Qing in surprise.

Maki and Erina came around, and here, Morita Maki has long been able to speak fluent Chinese, and Erina is lagging behind in her learning, although her spoken language has a strange accent, but her hearing is basically barrier-free.

The name of 'Qilinzi', they had heard of it as early as when they were in Dongying, after all, the Chinese food festival and the neon food world are a strip of water.

"Aunt Qing, Ah Yu is going to enter the 'Qilin Pavilion'?"

Erina Nagikiri's face was complicated.

The gap between her and him not only did not narrow because of her hard work, but widened more and more......

It seems that the 'Far Moon Queen' can only look up at the dragon soaring in the sky from the throne on the surface of the earth, and the dragon has already set foot in the realm of freedom......

That night, the news that Xia Yu was elected as the 12th generation of "Qilinzi" spread downstairs in Juxia.

Meanwhile.

The sound of the wind was also deliberately released by the high-rise of the White Jade Tower, and it came from the solemn Forbidden City.

The wind is blowing.

**********

On the night of "Plopping ......", a stone was thrown into the small pond in the courtyard of the chrysanthemum downstairs, and in front of the stone chair on the side, Erina Nagikiri curled up and squatted here, her face was complicated, and she was full of confusion about the future.

When she lost the confidence to catch up with the target in her heart, and her strong mask was shattered by an excessively high gap, what 'Far Moon Queen', under the arrogant mask, it was just a delicate and delicate college girl.

"Hmm!" The girl who had been entangled for a long time suddenly bit on her wrist, and when the red marks on her teeth appeared, the pain also made the confused girl sober.

Erina patted her delicate cheeks and said to herself, "...... Didn't you come all the way to China to improve your cooking skills? Even if I lose the possibility of catching up with him, I can't stop my culinary attack...... No, my goal is not limited to this for a long time...... Soon, soon, I'm going to fight with Wuxiu......"

A laugh suddenly broke the silence by the pool: "Yes, this is the Erina I know." ”

It was Alice, who had been secretly observing for a while.

Erina immediately "lost her face".

Alice's pretty face showed a fox-like sly smile, went to the stone chair behind Erina, sat down and whispered in a low voice, "Erina, why don't we join forces!"

“？”

"Lecturer, you have a very serious wariness of me, but not of you. Alice spoke of the young lecturer's deliberate distancing, and her tone was resentful and annoyed.

Erina Nagikiri has a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"If I were me, I would be far away from you. She spoke mercilessly, and glanced at her cousin's charming and enthusiastic red eyes, and for some reason, there was envy in her heart.

If only she could be so blunt......

The thought stopped, and a red glow floated on the girl's cheeks.

This time, Alice didn't plan to quarrel with Erina, she came over with her ear, and muttered a few words mysteriously, like a dog-headed military advisor who had a treacherous plan, Erina listened, and her red face was like a monkey's ass, "You, you...... It's so indecent! Who wants to make an alliance with you for a night attack!"

Obviously, Alice has always been haunted by the failure of the last night attack, and this time she wants to pull a reliable ally to increase the success rate, and even let go of her prejudice against her cousin.

She was very embarrassed by Erina's hard mouth, and said, "If you hesitate like this, you will never have a chance!"

"No chance is better than no discipline!"

“……”

Night.

On the surface, Xia Yu's life trajectory has not changed as before, but in fact, he has reduced a lot of practice in the kitchen god space, and chose to relax his nerves and let himself take a few more breaths after the battle.

So he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Breathing, like a trickling stream, the more it flows, the more twists and turns, the long, towards the unknown and dark realm, and I don't know where to slow down, converging into rivers and lakes.

Consciousness is also in nothingness, floating.

It's as if the body is placed in the middle of a lake, little by little, submerged by the lake.

"You're here. ”

The pleasant voice is gentle, and there is a warm current in my heart when I listen to it.

Xia Yu opened the door, and then there was a startle, the sky was blazing, slightly facing the sun, his eyes had a tingling sensation, he couldn't help but raise his hand to shade the sun, and stepped out.

In the courtyard, a graceful woman was placing a dustpan on a wooden shelf with her back to her.

"Dustpan" is a very common drying tool, usually woven from bamboo, flat and round, the eyes sweep over, about seven or eight in the same description of the dustpan, but staggered shellfish, abalone, sea cucumber, shrimp, mushrooms......

"These ingredients?" Xia Yu's pupils shrank.

In his field of vision, the bright sunlight spread down on the ground, and the ingredients in the dustpan seemed to cross a mysterious golden halo.

Yes, there is no doubt that the ingredients are bathed in the sun, and faintly, Xia Yu seems to be able to hear the sighs and joyful voices of "ah", "so comfortable", and "this is really wonderful and wonderful", as if it ......

Representing life, the blazing sunshine gives life to these ingredients!

The woman, whose back was plump and dignified, straightened her waist and wiped a fine layer of sweat from her forehead with the back of her smooth palms, and her side face was full of a soft smile, "...... After the ingredients are bathed in the sun, they have the ultimate freshness inside. Only by absorbing enough of this sun essence can they be called the top dry goods. ”

"How'......"

The woman with the mature charm of the years did not turn around, she turned her back to Xia Yu and said softly: "What kind of thing do you think the 'sun' is in cooking?"

Xia Yu was stunned.
