Bo Saixi: I'll Stay Here and Protect Him Until He Grows Up

Bo Saixi: "Is it possible that your tastes are ridiculously mild? Coastal and inland people's tastes are bound to be different, not to mention that girl has never cooked before. I'm confident in this battle."

"I, Bo Saixi, also have the potential to become the world's best chef."

After thinking it over and over, I couldn't think of any other way to shut Qian Renxue up.

For Bo Saixi, a contest of force would be seen as bullying his opponent and would not be convincing at all.

Qian Daoliu immediately sent people to set up stoves in the inner square.

Ingredients, firewood, tables and chairs—everything was brought in; the cooking competition was all set up.

Lin Luo sat in Azure Luan's lap. As the referee, he bore a heavy responsibility, as he would taste the food from both sides and make his evaluation later.

I just don't know, will I die in this battle?

Lin Luo pondered this profound question.

Qian Renxue stood in front of her own stove, looking somewhat dizzy at all the seasonings and ingredients, completely unsure of what to do.

Guang Ling wanted to help, but due to the many eyes watching, she could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

On the other hand, Bo Saixi seemed to be in a much more comfortable position.

Qian Daoliu nodded in approval. "I never expected Xi Xi could cook. I'm truly impressed."

While cooking, Bo Saixi took out the painting again.

When she was at her wit's end, a possibility suddenly occurred to her.

This painting may not be a message from the Sea God to her, but rather a message from the Lord Sea God to the little one.

The message being conveyed is... me?

What did the Lord Sea God want to tell that little fellow?

Suddenly, Bo Saixi picked up an iron ladle and banged it on the pot, startling the Sea Witch immediately looked over. She then heard Bo Saixi telepathically say:

"I understand! The Lord Sea God is communicating with the little one. Lord Sea God drew my likeness through the little one's hand, meaning he's telling the little one that I am his chosen one to protect him!"

The Sea Witch asked, puzzled, "But you are the one who will protect the next successor, aren't you? Why does the Lord Sea God need to emphasize this again?"

Bo Saixi narrowed his eyes. "Yes, why emphasize it again? Why wasn't it emphasized on Sea God Island, but only now that I'm inland... Wait, does he mean that I should protect this little guy and help him grow up in the inland?"

The Sea Witch was taken aback, then immediately said, "Does that mean we don't need to take him to Sea God Island?"

"Yes..."

Bo Saixi murmured, this conclusion quite unexpected for her.

But there's nothing we can do; the next successor is from the inland and is so young.

For these two reasons, it is reasonable that the Lord Sea God asked me to come personally to protect him as he grows up.

Sea Witch: "So, High Priest, since we don't need to fight over it anymore, let's not cook this meal!"

Bo Saixi: "How can that be? I need a reason to protect him here, right? I have to be his godmother. If I can't beat that girl, I can't be his godmother."

After saying this, Bo Saixi poured the entire bag of salt into the pot, stirred it a few times, Bo Saixi a small sip, nodded in satisfaction, and left the Sea Witch speechless.

As expected, it still has a strong palate.

Bo Saixi made seafood porridge again today.

Because she had never cooked before, Qian Renxue had been secretly watching Bo Saixi's cooking steps from the very beginning.

Bo Saixi made seafood porridge, and so did she. Just as Bo Saixi finished pouring in the salt, Qian Renxue, holding the salt bag, hesitated for a moment.

Did you really need this much salt?

Never mind, she can cook, I'll just learn from her... Qian Renxue also poured out a whole bag.

A moment later, while Bo Saixi was leisurely stirring her porridge, black smoke slowly rose from Qian Renxue's pot.

"Oops!"

She paused for a moment, then quickly turned to look at Bo Saixi.

Why is she not emitting black smoke, but I am?

How could Bo Saixi not have noticed what was happening here? She sneered, "Go ahead and learn, you won't learn the skills of controlling the heat just by watching."

But your taste is a problem that's bigger than anything else... The Sea Witch swallowed hard.

A few minutes later, two bowls of seafood porridge were placed in front of each of the seven worshippers, including Lin Luo.

The bowl looked excellent, its surface translucent and white.

A bowl of pitch-black liquid, with a strong burnt smell.

The white one was made by Bo Saixi, and the black one was made by Qian Renxue.

Guang Ling silently looked up at Qian Renxue, who was looking at him with a dejected and frustrated expression.

Guang Ling gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and gulped down Qian Renxue's black porridge!

He put the bowl on the table, his cheeks flushed red, his stomach churning, but he stubbornly refused to vomit.

Guang Ling forced a smile and said, "Delicious! Xue'er's is delicious!"

Although Qian Renxue was saddened, she smiled warmly at this moment.

Guang Ling picked up Bo Saixi's seafood porridge again, took a sip, and spat it out the next second.

His face showed no trace of acting, and he looked at Bo Saixi with great surprise. "May I ask where your confidence comes from?"

Bo Saixi sneered, "Such a strong bias; it's a good thing you're not a judge."

Qian Daoliu frowned. "Yes, Fifth Brother, anyone with eyes can see which one tastes better. Your favoritism is too severe."

Guang Ling glared. "Big brother, you try it! Try the plain porridge first!"

Qian Daoliu laughed and boasted, "I could drink ten bowls of what Xi Xi made!"

Upon hearing this, Guang Ling immediately served Qian Daoliu nine bowls of white porridge, placed them beside him, and waited patiently with a blank expression.

Qian Daoliu drank the first bowl of white porridge with a smile on his face, but suddenly his expression froze.

He put down the bowl with a furrowed brow, glanced at Guang Ling, and remained silent.

Guang Ling quickly raised his hand to indicate, "Big brother, there are still nine bowls left. They were made by your Xi Xi, don't waste food."

Qian Daoliu quickly waved his hand, smiling wryly, and said, "Fifth brother is really mischievous. It was just a joke, and you took it seriously."

Bo Saixi: "A joke?"

Qian Daoliu panicked and immediately stood up to explain, "Xi Xi made was naturally delicious! But I haven't eaten in a long time, and one bowl has made me a little full, cough cough! How about... how about we see what that kid's result is first?"

Bo Saixi smiled smugly. Of course she knew it tasted good; she had just tasted two bowls herself.

The other worshippers were puzzled.

What does that mean? Both bowls were praised as delicious?

They tried to pick up the black porridge, but after taking a sip, they spat it out one after another. Then they looked at Qian Renxue apologetically, hesitant to speak.

Qian Renxue pursed her lips and said dejectedly, "There's no need to compete anymore. I admit defeat. Don't give Luo'er any of my drink, lest she get sick."

Bo Saixi smiled smugly, "I know I'm a good cook. If we had to compare, I'd win. Can I be his godmother now?"

Qian Renxue said softly, "Whatever you say."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and left, jogging towards the direction of the Worship Hall without even taking the child with her.

Qian Daoliu quietly rinsed his mouth, then stood up and smiled at Bo Saixi, "Don't mind her, this girl has always been very competitive, she gets upset when she loses."

Bo Saixi replied seriously, "Nonsense, of course I don't mind."

"To be honest, Brother Qian, I learned about Luo'er through undisclosed channels a long time ago, and I've been observing her quietly for two months. I've grown quite fond of her, so it's true that I want to be her godmother."

"That's great news!" Qian Daoliu exclaimed with delight, but couldn't help asking, "But can't you be my great-great-grandmother?"

"No, it makes me look old... Let's get down to business. I've made up my mind to stay here and protect him until he grows up. Do you mind?"

Bo Saixi looked serious.

Qian Daoliu was taken aback. "Of course I don't mind, but the mother and son are about to set off for Heaven Dou in five days."

"Ah?"
