The Cake Plan, The Fairy Lost Her Sparkle

Making a cake successfully across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is no easy task.

After finishing his breakfast, Chef Li crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

"If we're going to make a cake..."

What is a cake?

Shang Qinqing asked with a serious expression.

Although the Clan Leader Shang did not yet know exactly what this was, as a former god who once ruled over love in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she keenly sensed it.

This thing might be related to whether she can have a good time today.

Li Mo said earnestly:

"It's a kind of food; eating cake on a birthday is as important as eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Like a mooncake..."

Shang Qinqing opened her eyes slightly.

She remembered that when Little Bing was in the Green Phoenix Territory, she held a mooncake like a treasure, and later even planned to hang it on the Marriage Tree...

If she participated in making the cake, then it's perfectly justifiable for her to have some sweets.

Shang Qinqing said with a firm look in her eyes:

"Li Mo, I, the Green Phoenix Clan, will do everything in my power to help you. Please feel free to ask if you need anything!"

"Yes, there are indeed some areas where Clan Leader Shang's help is needed."

Li Mo thought about it, and considered the basic requirements for making a cake:

"First, I need a Pill Furnace."

What do you need the Pill Furnace for?

Shang Qinqing was puzzled. What kind of food could be used in Pill Furnace?

"Making a cake requires an oven, but we probably won't be able to get one anytime soon, so we'll have to use Pill Furnace instead."

"You can even refine pills?"

Wu Qing was somewhat surprised.

As is widely known.

Chef Li has considerable skill in Pill Formula, he nodded and said:

"I even refined the Nine-Orifice Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill with the genius Dao of Alchemy master, Elder Xue, and I've also refined many other pills."

"The success rate... is an astonishing one hundred percent!"

Of course! He jumped into the Pill Furnace himself; it would be a miracle if he failed.

"!"

Shang Qinqing clearly knew what it was, and her gaze towards Li Mo changed slightly.

That was a divine pill that the Great Shang Dynasty once prepared to refine, something that no Dao of Alchemy master could even dream of; a grandmaster would be more suitable.

It's clear from Xiao Mo's expression that he wasn't just boasting.

"I've noted it down. Is there anything else I need?"

"Some materials."

"You say."

"First of all, do you have an egg?"

"?"

"Uh, eggs."

In conclusion

Thus began a unique birthday cake making experience.

In order to be able to enjoy something sweet today without any guilt, Shang Qinqing even personally caused trouble, and then carefully watched Little Alchemist knead the dough, stir it, make cream, and start the oven to bake the cake.

Clan Leader Shang felt that the previous steps were all correct and that she could learn them at a glance.

Except for the final touch of painting with cream.

In the afternoon, they set off on their respective journeys. Li Mo used the Somersault Cloud Ten-Thousand-Mile Shift Technique, while Shang Qinqing traversed the void.

Greenwood City.

Jiawei Restaurant remains extremely popular and bustling, with the smoke from the barbecue grills lingering for a long time.

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of martial arts practitioners coming to Greenwood City. After all, such a major event has occurred in Greenwood City, and two young people have become top five on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, thus gaining fame.

"Is that the Cold Fairy?"

"No wonder she's only sixteen years old and ranks among the top five on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and also among the top three on the Hundred Flowers Beauty Ranking."

"Even the heroic Lady Ning of Jade Inquiry Fortress seems inexplicably inferior in comparison to her."

What is going on?

The entrance to Jiawei Restaurant.

A group of martial arts practitioners discussed the two who were about to fight.

A tall tree catches the wind.

Every young hero on the Hidden Dragon Ranking has no shortage of challengers. Some want to test their martial arts skills and improve their techniques, while others are arrogant and think they are no less capable, wanting to prove themselves.

After all, defeating Hidden Dragon star ranked above oneself would allow one to take their place.

And at this very moment.

Two people were standing at the entrance of Jiawei Restaurant.

One of them was Ning Liushu, who ranked in the fiftieth place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. She had a jade-colored whip hanging from her waist and was on high alert. She looked at the girl opposite her with a slight frown.

The girl standing there seemed isolated from her surroundings.

She wore a dark, flowing fairy dress, held a long sword in her arms, and had a cold, aloof gaze. It seemed that the clamor of the outside world would automatically disappear when it came into contact with her.

She didn't seem to care much about this match.

It seems they were so annoyed they couldn't stand it anymore, so they reluctantly stepped forward to establish their authority, making any newcomers think twice before challenging them.

As dusk fell, it lengthened her graceful shadow, casting a play of light and shadow on her face.

"If I defeat you, my father will never let me choose a husband through martial arts again, you..."

"Can we begin?"

"..."

As is widely known.

Before martial arts practitioners clash, they always exchange a few words, perhaps some polite greetings, or perhaps some provocations to dampen each other's spirits.

The fact that Cold Fairy doesn't follow the rules of the martial world seems strangely reasonable.

She seemed to have never belonged to this world.

"Hmm... please enlighten me!"

Call--

Ning Liushu had barely finished speaking and was about to pick up the whip when she realized the figure opposite her had vanished.

Then she felt a chill run down her spine.

A sword sheath was pressed against her lower back.

"That's it?"

"I haven't seen it clearly yet."

"Neither side released their Divine Intent... no, rather, Lady Ning simply wasn't qualified to release her Divine Intent will..."

"That Li Mo, the Divine Hammer Little Overlord, is the same age as her, yet he's ranked above her?"

Hearing a familiar name.

Ying Bing stirred slightly. She subconsciously glanced at the crowd but didn't see that face. She pursed her lips and turned to walk into the restaurant.

Cold Fairy asked the owner for a barbecue with Li Mo's special sauce.

None of the people present, including her, noticed.

There was a white cloud in the sky, quite different from the surrounding ones.

"That was close, we almost got discovered."

Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Birthdays naturally call for a special treat.

He and Shang Qinqing exchanged a glance, then quietly went to the side room on the second floor to set up the scene.

And below.

Ying Bing won the duel with ease, leaving all who witnessed it astonished, but she herself did not experience much joy after the victory.

She ate her barbecue quietly, her eyes somewhat vacant.

"Miss Bing, is something on your mind?"

The proprietress who delivered the kebabs couldn't help but ask.

"No," Ying Bing shook her head.

It's just a birthday celebration for one person.

She had spent countless holidays alone before, and was used to it. What difference would today make...?

"But I feel like you've been acting a little different lately."

The proprietress found it strange.

In the past Miss Ying looked aloof and ethereal, but she was not like this now, so detached from the world.

It's as if the fairy who descended to earth has lost her earthly charm and is about to float back to heaven.

"Oh my, eating barbecue skewers all by yourself?"

I heard a familiar voice.

Ying Bing immediately looked up, but only saw Shang Qinqing leaning against the door.
