Chapter Ninety-Seven: Devouring Spirit
Xiao Chen led Tasia to the villa's dining room, which was also a room with a sea view, which directly connected to the terrace leading to the beach.
The layout of the dining room is very different from that of the average aristocratic family, there is no long table, but a round table is placed in the room. The cutlery on the table is also very different, there are no knives and forks, only bowls and chopsticks.
"Do I really need to eat?" asked Tasia.
"From a survival point of view, of course, you don't need food energy to keep your body functioning. The essence of eating is to absorb a part of the mental energy into the body. Xiao Chen said seriously, "But Tasia, you have a very problematic understanding of the meaning of eating! Food is a kind of enjoyment, and even one of the meanings of life. How could it not be necessary?"
"I've never seen a strong person who takes eating as the meaning of life. ”
"That's because the strong won't tell you how they feel about eating. Isn't the meaning of life to find something I want to do, no matter how small or ordinary it is, as long as it is valuable to me. What a truly strong person needs to do is to give more people the opportunity to do what they want to do. ”
Tasia was silent.
"Have you been convinced by my reasoning?"
"No, I'm just wondering why you can tell so much at a meal. ”
"Let's just ask, is the ice cream just now delicious?"
Tasia hesitated, but finally nodded.
"Do you want to eat again?"
“...... Think. ”
"If you want to eat, it's over. ”
"I have a question, though. Tasia stumbled, "What if, what if you eat too much?"
Xiao Chen smiled knowingly, "No, no, you don't need to do that here, the spiritual power you eat can be emitted through any part of your body." Of course, if you insist on keeping old habits, I can ......"
"Say no more!"
——————————————————
Xiao Chen began to cook.
As long as he summons some water or sand and shapes them into dishes, they will become real delicacies. In this restaurant, Xiao Chen uses his ability to create things, and he is a chef who can cook without rice.
Tasia watched the dishes on the table become more and more numerous, and suddenly thought of another question: "Since this world is made up of your spiritual power, is it true that when I eat these dishes, I don't radiate them, but slowly transform and absorb them, and actually devour your spiritual power?"
"So to speak. Xiao Chen had just made a white-cut pig hand, but he was not very satisfied with the shape, so he remade it into a vegetarian roast goose with a wave of his hand, "However, this should be what you have to do, otherwise you will not be able to recover your strength and realm, you can see how huge my spiritual world is, and it is not bad for this spiritual power." ”
"But that still weakens you. Don't think I don't understand, since you have such a strong manipulation of every plant and tree on this island, they must be the ones you have worked so hard to cultivate. ”
"You see that raging sea out there, right? That's all my latent mental power, and I still don't know how big it is. As much as you absorb, I'll only cultivate more from there. Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance, and the person disappeared, and after two breaths, he returned to Tasia, holding a water balloon the size of a football in his hand.
Although the water in the water balloon had broken away from the violent sea, it still did not calm down, and it kept surging and struggling in Xiao Chen's hands, like a small beast caught by a hunter.
Xiao Chen stared at the water mass, and slowly the water began to calm down, then flattened into a disc, and finally turned into a plate of roast duck.
"You see, that's it, I'm doing the work of transformation every day. Don't worry about me. ”
Tasia found that Xiao Chen still had a little bit of seawater unused, and she said, "Show me." ”
Her body contains a part of Xiao Chen's power, so she also has a certain ability to manipulate the spiritual power in this world, after reaching out to attract that small ball of water, she felt the characteristics inside with her heart, and then used the little spiritual power left to change it little by little, so that it and her own spiritual power slowly synchronized, and slowly, this ball of sea water was actually sucked into her body.
"I did it!" Tasia shouted excitedly, "I don't need to devour your spiritual power, I can row to the most marginal place and use my own power to transform those uncontrolled spiritual powers!"
But at this time, more than a dozen dishes had been placed on the table in front of her, and Xiao Chen said, "You haven't realized how much time has passed. Directly transform my own spiritual power, and your recovery speed will be five times faster, and you will not encounter danger. ”
Tasia shook her head vigorously and said, "That's enough, even if I recover my realm, I'm just a soul trapped in your meditation world." Maybe helping you build this world is the only thing I can do, right? What else do I have to worry about? But you're going to face a lot more threats than I do. ”
"Okay. Xiao Chen noticed that Tasia was very stubborn in some places, so he decided to respect her own opinion, "Our feast is ready. It's time for me to go and bring the guests in. ”
"Guest?" Tasia looked at the table, there were indeed five sets of tableware, except for a small basin for Xiao Yinlong, the other two sets of tableware indicated that there were at least two other guests.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and swiped in the air, and a teleportation of the Soul Bridge appeared on the terrace, and after the teleportation disappeared, two people appeared there, one was the restless female knight Belea, and the other was a young woman with long dark blue hair.
"Miss!" Belia rushed over with an excited look at Tasia.
"Belea, why did you get in?"
"Miss, can I see you...... It's, it's so good. Belia didn't bother to answer her question and hugged Tasia, "I almost thought I'd never see you again." I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I haven't closed my eyes since you disappeared, I'm waiting, waiting to meet you, to be able to say this to you in person. ”
Tasia wiped away her tears and comforted, "Belea, don't say that, this may be a person's luck...... I've had a lifetime of good luck myself, and it's not surprising that I'm unlucky once in a while. But now that I'm here, don't be sad, you still have a chance to protect me. ”
Belia and Tasia hugged each other and said a lot of things, crying and laughing.
But Xiao Chen didn't bother them. He knew that both Tasia and her knight needed to vent enough after all they had been through.
