Tasting New Dishes, Two Tigers

After the dance ended, Little Moon Spirit took out the recipes she had written over the past hundred years and asked Wu Chu for advice. Seeing this, the Little Fox silently pulled out a zither and began to play.

Wu Chu made this zither for her, using her own hair for the strings, and the Little Fox liked it very much. As for Wu Chu's Purple Moon Zither, since it used strings made from Little Moon Spirit's hair, Wu Chu couldn't just give it to the Little Fox directly, lest Little Moon Spirit be unhappy.

The music was melodious and far-reaching, giving listeners a sense of vastness and tranquility.

Looking at the stack of recipes in Little Moon Spirit's hand, Wu Chu knew that his cooking skills had been far surpassed by hers. The only advantage he might have now was that the ingredients from Purple Jade Mountain were not comprehensive, while he knew how to cook many different cuisines.

After silently reviewing the recipes, Wu Chu said, "Come and try these new dishes you've researched tomorrow! After we eat, I'll see if there's anything that needs improvement."

He paused for a moment, then added, "But don't get too obsessed with this! You can't neglect your cultivation, or I'll catch up with you!"

Little Moon Spirit laughed dismissively, "Brother A Chu is already stronger than us! It's only a matter of time before he catches up with us!"

The Little Fox nodded in agreement. In any case, Wu Chu looked older than them, so he should naturally be stronger than them. It was only natural that he would catch up with them in cultivation in the future!

"..."

Wu Chu didn't know what to say. Even now, this girl still believed he had that Ordinary Illness! Oh well, let her continue to believe if she wants to!

In the days that followed, Wu Chu spent his time cultivating, refining Spirit Treasure, tasting Little Moon Spirit's new dishes, offering his opinions, or enjoying the Little Fox's singing and dancing.

Planting flowers, tending grass, and doing all the farm work—these tasks have been almost entirely taken care of by those hardworking Little Flower Fairies, and they're doing a pretty good job at it.

This simple, unpretentious life is so relaxing it's almost unbearable.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that nothing happened at all. Besides cultivating the <Immortalless Method>, he also had to cultivate the <Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique>, and there were also many Merit Spiritual Treasure waiting for him to refine. In addition to tasting Little Moon Spirit's new dishes, he also had to 'guide' the Little Fox's singing and dancing.

It was called giving pointers, but it was really just appreciation and casual commentary. In terms of singing and dancing, Wu Chu had no right to instruct the Little Fox; it was mostly Yibao who was pretending to point and gesticulate.

Although there were many songs on the phone, the Little Fox believed that Wu Chu had that ability.

That day, Little Moon Spirit spent most of the day running around, preparing a lot of ingredients. The group planned to have a good meal as winter approached.

To prevent Little Moon Spirit from encountering any danger, Wu Chu carefully and quietly expanded the Mountain Protection Array outwards considerably, and also used the Sacred Tree to observe the surrounding area.

After Little Moon Spirit returned, Wu Chu retracted the Mountain Protection Array, and like an old tortoise, he tucked his head in and lay dormant in the mountains.

In the evening, Little Moon Spirit served a dish. Wu Chu glanced at it and laughed, "Is this another new dish you've come up with? You're getting more and more creative, girl!"

Little Moon Spirit giggled and said, "I learned this dish from the Little Crispy Fish. You use Dang Kang Meat, coat it with Lotus Root Starch and Castanea Henryi Powder, and then deep-fry it..."

It's actually sweet and sour pork. Originally, Wu Chu didn't make this dish because he couldn't find potatoes, but Little Moon Spirit came up with a clever idea and used water chestnuts instead of potatoes.

Wu Chu picked up his chopsticks, tasted it, and nodded, saying, "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a little sweet and sour, it must be made with fruit vinegar! By the way, Yueling, you mustn't eat the Dang Kang to extinction."

"Don't worry, A Chu! I know. As Dang Kang tribe can reproduce normally, we will absolutely not kill indiscriminately. Actually, we don't eat them every day. We only cook a little bit occasionally when we feel like it, or when we have a new culinary inspiration, that's when we bring one back..."

Wu Chu nodded and said, "That's the right thing to do. We must stick to the path of sustainable development and not exploit resources to the point of exhaustion, otherwise we will be the ones who suffer losses."

Little Moon Spirit nodded and said, "I know!"

Before long, Little Moon Spirit served two more new dishes, both steamed, one shrimp and one crab. The shrimp and crab were caught from the large lake, and the crab was the size of a washbasin, covered with barbs, and its red shell was incredibly hard.

The shrimp was as thick as an arm from Wu Chu, with long whiskers longer than its body, and two long, sharp rostrums that hadn't been cut off.

Shrimp and crabs are actually quite rare in this lake, which shows how unfortunate these shrimp and crabs were, accidentally becoming victims of Little Moon Spirit's cooking.

Although there is not much sauce, using wine as vinegar, adding some Evodia seeds as a chili, and some chopped green onions and minced garlic, it can be used as a dipping sauce.

Moreover, the ingredients from the Primordial World era possessed a rare and delicious flavor.

"Delicious!" Wu Chu savored the delicious taste of the shrimp and crab, then took a sip of the purplish-red grape wine, smacked his lips, and exclaimed, "Although it can't compare to the huge prawn we ate before, it's definitely a top-tier choice."

Seemingly recalling the giant shrimp from before, Little Moon Spirit licked her little lips, "That was shrimp demon meat from the sea! These can't compare to it."

Although it can't be compared, it's still Innate Object!

Wu Chu smiled contentedly, then looked at the Little Fox and said, "Xiao Yu, how about we dance a little song?"

The Little Fox pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to dance the Seaweed Dance anymore! If Senior A Chu wants to see it, I can dance the Celestial Fox Dance for you!"

"That dance doesn't suit your style at all. You can ask Little Moon Spirit if you don't believe me."

Her small, flat figure looking so out of place dancing that seductive dance!

"You're still young. When you're older, you'll be able to perform those kinds of dances with more grace. I wouldn't lie to you; you have to trust my professional eye for dance."

Wu Chu, looking quite serious, pointed to his eyes with his scissors.

"Then, I'll sing a song for Senior A Chu!"

"Singing! That's fine! How about 'Two Tigers'?"

"..."

Little Moon Spirit couldn't help but cover her mouth and turn away.

They were naturally familiar with this song; Wu Chu often hummed a few lines, though it sounded rather strange. It wasn't until they heard the original version on their phone that they realized it was a children's song.

Seeing the Little Fox frowning and pouting, Wu Chu laughed and said, "I was just kidding, let's play 'The Little Mushroom-Picking Girl'!"

Pfft...

Little Moon Spirit couldn't resist and hurriedly ran to the kitchen, saying, "Sorry, sorry, there's still some bone broth simmering in the kitchen! I'll go get it."

"Senior A Chu..."

The Little Fox seemed to be pouting, twisting her little shoulders in protest. If she weren't sitting cross-legged, she probably would have stomped her little feet.

"I was just kidding. Singing is something you can do with your phone!" Wu Chu said, pulling out his phone and playing a soothing piece of music. He then placed the phone on the table. "If we lit a few candles at this time, it would be a candlelight dinner."

The Little Fox stared intently at Wu Chu's phone with her big, adorable eyes, completely absorbed in the music.

Before long, Little Moon Spirit returned, and the three of them enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together under the Moonlight.

After eating and drinking his fill, Wu Chu lay on the 'railing' outside the pavilion and looked at the stars. It was actually a ring of Tree Platform surrounding the Sacred Tree, four or five meters thick!

Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox sat on either side of him, their hands behind their backs, looking up at the stars, feeling the Starlight and Moonlight seep into their bodies.

Suddenly, Little Moon Spirit asked, "Brother A Chu, what do you think Sister Nuwa and Sister Houtu are doing right now?"

"Perhaps she's in seclusion! Perhaps Sister Houtu hasn't returned to the clan yet..."

As they were talking, a golden light descended from the sky, passing directly through the Mountain Protection Array and striking Wu Chu. When the golden light dissipated, Wu Chu blinked and smiled, "Perhaps your sister Houtu has already returned to her clan and begun guiding her people towards a new life!"
