Chapter 43: Tengu also knows how to cook
Bai Xuan couldn't wait to pick up a bowl.
"It's delicious."
Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but finish a big bowl in one go.
"It's simple, but it's my prize." Qingyan couldn't help but snicker when she saw Bai Xuan's appearance.
"In the past, Amu liked to come and ask me to make it for him to drink. Because I can make mellow chicken soup quickly without pressure cookers and other things, it's my unique secret. ”
"Amu?" Bai Xuan was curious.
Haruhun realizes that she has said the wrong thing, and sticks out her tongue to look at Whisper and Tengu.
"What Your Highness has made is indeed a very delicious delicacy."
Even Tengu couldn't help but praise. "His Highness's mood is completely transformed into a nostalgic taste in the soup, and even I can't help but admire its deliciousness."
Whisper also picked up the bowl, took a sip, and then gently put it down.
Qingyan really lost.
"Don't like it?" Qing Yan was a little worried when she saw Whisper's performance.
"I'm thinking about whether I can kidnap you and be a cook for me if you don't want to be a stranger one day." whispered solemnly and picked up the chopsticks.
"I'm very expensive!"
"Food, shelter and food."
"Deal!" Sunny winked playfully.
Whispering took advantage of her inattention, picked up Tengu's food, and sent it to Qingyan's mouth.
The aroma of the food fills the mouth, and Haruhi can't tell what kind of taste it is. It's just that I don't know why, but compared to the feeling of taste, the food itself contains strong feelings, and it reminds her of all kinds of forgotten past events as soon as she eats it.
Qingyan's face couldn't help but smile happily.
"Chicken stew with shiitake mushrooms...... I thought adults would make something that matched your beautiful posture better. Whisper quipped.
"Sister Qingyan?" Bai Xuan noticed Qingyan's stunnedness, and pushed her, and Qingyan eased up.
"I lost my temper."
What a dream.
"My lord, I lost." Qing Yan lost convincingly.
"Concession." Tengu smiled faintly on his beautiful face, his mouth was modest, and his face was full of expected satisfaction.
"Your Highness Whispering, please taste it too."
"I don't have to." Whispering excuses.
Is it really that delicious?
Bai Xuan looked at Qingyan's expression curiously, and also picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.
The food was delicious, but what was even more striking was that the smell was pouring in her mouth, making her feel like she was home.
If she still has a home.
Memories spark intense feelings that follow. Years of grievances and hatred were intertwined in her heart, and the pictures in her memory roared and pulled the tears she silently drank in countless lonely nights.
"Don't ...... Stop it...... Help ......"
Bai Xuan's voice was so small that she couldn't hear it clearly, the chopsticks fell from her hand, and she held her head and gradually retreated.
Whispering stretched out her hand and gently wrapped it around her, helping Bai Xuan stabilize her emotions.
"For hundreds of years, people discovered that food is a thing that, in addition to filling the stomach, can also trigger certain human emotions. Eating sweets makes you happy, eating chocolate makes you fall in love, and eating unpalatable things makes you vulnerable.
It was previously thought that certain elements and hormones in food affected the balance in the human body. Regardless, it is undeniable that food that is carefully matched has the power to sway human feelings, just like magic.
Remember five years ago, there was also an ability that used food as an ability, and could achieve the same effect by infusing his ability into food. ”
I guessed that because of this, she didn't want to touch these mood-affecting foods.
"It is almost impossible for humans to manipulate their 'qi' so delicately without the help of supernatural abilities. However, it seems that for the Great Tengu-sama, it is easy to catch. ”
Tengu's food is tainted with a subtle demonic aura, and it is skillfully incorporated into the ingredients during cooking. When such a demonic energy enters the human body, it will easily resonate with emotions and achieve a certain effect.
Bai Xuan, who had calmed down, lowered her head and was a little angry.
No one wants to expose their emotions to the eyes of others.
Whisper patted her on the shoulder. "We don't lose anything. Are you trying to mobilize your abilities? ”
Under the whisper's suggestion, Qingyan and Bai Xuan tried to mobilize their 'qi', and then looked at her and Tengu in surprise.
Their abilities have all increased to varying degrees. Although this increase is not large, it is also the amount that it takes a month of hard cultivation to achieve on weekdays.
Whisper quietly put a finger in front of her mouth and made a silent gesture.
"Thank you for your generosity." She thanked the tengu.
With a wave of his sleeve, the tengu disappeared the kitchen and returned to the appearance of a shrine. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into an unfathomable sentence.
"A drink and a peck are not predetermined."
Food that can mobilize emotions and increase abilities, and Qing Yan will not lose unjustly.
"I wonder what His Highness wants to ask for advice?"
"If it weren't for the fact that you were too handsome, I would have wanted to learn from you about the art of seduction." Whisper spread her hands to express regret.
She had been thinking about this idea since Tengu promised Bunbi, so she specially tested it, but unfortunately Tengu's replacement of the human body dispelled his thoughts.
It seems that there is no shortcut in the face of the invulnerable big goblin.
Whispering became rare and serious.
Tengu couldn't help but feel a little worried when he noticed the change in the whisper, why did he always think that the woman in front of him wouldn't do anything good?
"But you know how to play chess?" Whisper knelt on the side of the steps of the shrine and sat opposite the tengu.
"Yes." Tengu nodded.
"However, adults have accumulated for thousands of years, and if you bully juniors and say it, it will inevitably be laughable and generous. Why don't you let me do one or two? ”
"Your Highness should be an opponent, since I am playing chess, I will go all out, how can I talk about letting one say." Tengu decisively refuses Whisper's request.
Whispering was a little distressed, this old fox really didn't give face.
Odd. Qing Yan and Bai Xuan didn't know, but he knew very well that Whisper knew his ability, so why would he bring up a game of chess that was not difficult for him at all? "How about a best-of-three game?"
"Yes, too." Whispering and smiling.
Tengu "......"
Has he been counted again?
Anyway, playing chess is much better than asking him to draw according to an abstract description, at least as a chess player, the opponent should not use any shameless means.
Tengu nodded in response, and took a pair of Go from his sleeve.
"My lord, what the little woman wants to compete with the adults is the chess of Liubo."
Tengu's eyes darkened. "Doesn't His Highness Whispering feel unfair?"
"Don't you dare to fight?" The whisper seems to be a smile but not a smile.
