Snow Empress, the Cooking Wife?
In that instant, his body trembled, one hand covered his mouth, the other his head, and he inexplicably began to dry heave.
A stunningly beautiful woman with white hair and icy blue eyes flashed through his mind. She was truly beautiful, more beautiful than any other woman he had ever seen.
When Na'er grows up, she will definitely be able to rival her; even among the beauties he has seen, Leng Yaozhu and Zi JI are somewhat inferior, and only Bi Ji can rival her with her motherly gentleness.
However, Chen Jianshu did not feel any positive emotions in front of this stunningly beautiful woman; all he felt was fear and trembling, which came from the deepest part of his soul.
In the video, a woman looks tenderly at herself, holding a dark, unidentified sticky substance in her hand, and gently feeds herself with a spoon.
The image in his mind seemed to include Ice Empress lying on the ground beside him, his life hanging in the balance, with dark, gooey liquid flowing from his mouth.
The moment the woman in front of him fed herself with a spoon, his sense of taste and smell were cut off.
The Brain successively cut off touch, sensation, vision, and hearing. Although it was only for a moment, he still felt as if his tongue had been subjected to torture as if it had been subjected to the eighteenth level of hell.
Then the screen went completely black. In that brief moment, Chen Jianshu's back was soaked with cold sweat, his hair stood on end, and his eyes were filled with lingering fear.
"A Shu, what's wrong?!"
Everyone noticed his condition and immediately gathered around to show their concern. Ice Empress's eyes flashed with surprise; did Snow Empress remember the food she had prepared?
She carefully recalled that even after she broke through 400,000 years ago, she couldn't withstand the biological weapons made by Xue'er. That experience had indeed become a psychological trauma for her.
However, she never expected that the other party would access her past memories in this way.
"I... I'm fine... I was just almost scared to death... Speaking of which, could Snow Empress be the Reincarnation of a general...? I just felt a tremor in my soul, that feeling must be unforgettable..."
It took Chen Jianshu a long time to calm down. Only after Xiao Xiao played the Nine Phoenixes Coming to the Ceremony Flute to soothe his mind did he recover. For some reason, he thought of a certain cook and a certain coffee-making navigator.
I wonder how Snow Empress's cooking compares to theirs...? Hearing this, Ice Empress raised an eyebrow slightly and said:
How did you know that Xue'er had the title of Ice and Snow General?
"Ice and Snow General?"
When he heard that the Snow Empress also had the title of Ice and Snow General, he was stunned and somewhat confused. The other party then explained it to him.
Around six thousand years ago, the entrance to the Abyss was located in the Endless Mountains of the north. When the Abyss invaded, the Far North was the first to face the attack.
At that time, the Snow Empress led the creatures of the Far North to resist the invasion of the Abyss and successfully received reinforcements. Because of that battle, she also earned the title of Ice and Snow General.
In that battle, one-fifth of the creatures in the Far North perished. Later, reinforcements arrived, and with the combined efforts of countless powerful warriors, many more lives were lost before the Abyss was finally driven back.
The main problem is that the Abyss is inhabited by monsters that only know how to devour. They have no sense of pain, which puts humanity at a great disadvantage. For six thousand years, Abyss riots have occurred from time to time, and many soldiers have died in each riot.
Sometimes, Abyss rifts may appear in other parts of Douluo Star, from which several Abyss Creatures emerge, as if someone is deliberately weakening the power of Douluo Star.
However, that battle was also the battle that made many powerful people famous. They never retreated and fought to the death for their homeland, just like the Spirit Transferring Douluo of yesteryear. His spirit has been passed down forever.
Chen Jianshu finally understood the reason: it turned out that the Snow Empress had been possessed by a cook! One was Raiden Shogun, and the other was an Ice and Snow General.
He couldn't fathom what kind of amazing dish the Snow Empress had created back then, one that he had died from once and still remembered so vividly.
"That fear from the depths of my soul is still fresh in my memory," Ice Empress said excitedly, gripping his Shoulders.
"A Shu, could it be that Snow Empress's cooking reminded you of things from the past? I never knew Snow Empress's cooking could have this effect."
Upon hearing that cooking might restore the other person's memories, Xiao Xiao immediately suggested:
"How about we try cooking it to see if it helps?"
The suggestion was met with approval, and then they all rushed into the kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans clattering filling the air.
Chen Jianshu looked towards the kitchen and saw their busy figures. Ten thousand years have really changed a lot.
Even the warlord Ice Empress can cook now, and even the silly mythical Auspicious Beast can cook.
Watching them busily working, he was curious about what delicious food they could make.
Just as he was wondering, he saw Ice Empress come out with more than twenty iron skewers, each skewer containing two or three plump white worms.
As Ice Empress approached with the skewers of grilled insects, a faint aroma wafted over, and he recognized the scent as cumin.
"A Shu, try this, roasted Ice Silkworm, a specialty of our Far North."
Ice Empress handed over a large number of roasted Ice Silkworms. Seeing this, Chen Jianshu understood. So, cooking meant skewering the Ice Silkworms and then roasting them. Oh well, it's alright then.
"So, the cooking you were talking about was roasted Ice Silkworms?"
For some reason, he felt like laughing. It was kind of funny. He had originally thought that Ice Empress, a military leader, would be good at cooking, and Snow Empress, who had the face of a wife, would be good at cooking. It was quite absurd that she wouldn't be good at cooking.
Now that he saw it, everything became clear. Ice Empress, seeing his expression, was immediately displeased.
"Isn't that right?! I used to eat them raw, but now I know how to grill them over a fire and sprinkle seasonings on them. It's really hard, you know! If you're not careful, the Ice Silkworms will burn or become overcooked. It's really difficult, you know!"
The other person told him about the difficulties of roasting Ice Silkworms, and he smiled and took an Ice Silkworms.
"Then let me see how your Meticulous Care roasted Ice Silkworm tastes."
As he spoke, he took a bite. The texture was smooth and crispy, like biting into a piece of chewy beef.
The taste is indeed excellent; no wonder it's said to have eight times the protein of beef. Ice Empress asked expectantly.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"The taste is quite good, but it would be even better with some butter."
"I knew you'd say that; these skewers are butter flavored."
Chen Jianshu felt that adding butter during baking would make it taste even better, while Ice Empress seemed to have expected it, taking out several skewers of golden-brown Ice Silkworms, which emitted a buttery aroma.
"They were prepared all along?"
Looking at the butter-roasted Ice Silkworm in front of him, surprise flashed in his eyes. Ice Empress, sitting next to him, explained:
"I knew you'd like it, so I made it especially for you."
Update 1 on September 16th.
I went to the hospital yesterday, and today I have a full day of classes from morning to night. Every Wednesday is a full day of classes. I'm feeling much better after taking the medicine.
