"Really, Old Brother, I've got lots of inventions. This time, I'll definitely open your eyes!"
Hearing Xuan Qing's request, Han Xi grew even more excited. What foodie didn't enjoy having their cooking praised?
With that, Han Xi grabbed Xuan Qing and ran toward the Heart Nurturing Hall.
"Brother, wait for me a moment. I'll be right back!"
Han Xi pressed Xuan Qing into a chair, then ran into the kitchen. Before long, several large platters of assorted dishes were brought out.
"This..."
After just one glance, Xuan Qing began to doubt his life. The plates contained clumps of sticky, gooey stuff that looked somewhat like...
"Old Brother, don't let the ugly appearance fool you. It tastes really good."
Han Xi cheered him on from the side, eagerly hoping her old brother would eat something she had made.
Not wanting to crush his little sister's confidence, Xuan Qing closed his eyes, endured the discomfort, and took a bite.
"Ah! Ptooey!"
"What is this? Why is it so sweet? Are you trying to sweeten someone to death?"
Xuan Qing had taken only one bite, but the sweetness nearly sent him straight to the Outer Heavens.
"Didn't you say life should be sweet, Old Brother? Is this sweet enough?"
Xuan Qing was utterly speechless. Han Xi clearly hadn't cooked according to human standards. Even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal would probably have to be carried out after eating this.
"What did you use to make it?"
"Just ordinary ingredients. But this sauce is different. I spent hundreds of thousands of years researching it,
I found one of every spiritual fruit in the Dao Field, extracted all their juices, let them sit for a hundred thousand years, then mixed them together with Three Lights Divine Water and fermented them in jars for a Kalpa.
