Chapter 210 "Grape-flavored Cake"
The Great Compassionate Tree King naturally did not refuse Nashida's invitation.
She asked Apep to put the shopping in the next room first and then come over to eat cake together.
With the help of the Dragon-Slaying Incense, today's Apepu's eyes were full of the image of the Great Mercy Tree King. When the two of them were strolling in the city earlier, she had already slightly convinced Apepu.
So Apep decided to stay in Xumi City for a while. Anyway, her people were dying or going crazy, so it didn’t make any difference whether she returned to her territory or not.
Soon, Apep put all the things he bought in the next room, and then followed the Great Compassion Tree King to the room where Liu Bai and the others were.
"Good evening, Dragon of Grass."
The mushroom beasts greeted Apep.
"Ah."
Apep responded softly, then sat down next to the Great Compassion Tree King.
After everyone sat down, including the two long-legged land-walking mushrooms, Leila quickly placed the cake-cutting knife in place, looked at Nashida and then at the Great Compassion Tree King, waiting for their instructions.
"You do the cutting. You can cut more accurately."
Nashida pulled Liu Bai's hand to remind him.
"Okay, don't worry, girl."
Liu Bai nodded, picked up the knife with one hand and raised his finger with the other.
"1, 2, 3..."
"Seven portions?"
Liu Bai counted the number of people, then moved his right hand and instantly cut the cake on the table along with the plate into seven equal parts.
"Go back and sit down quickly. Children who don't sit properly won't get any seats."
After cutting the cake, Liu Bai found that the wind mushroom beast couldn't wait to come closer. Liu Bai immediately put his hand on its head and spoke to it.
"Ok."
The wind mushroom beast had no choice but to return to the other two mushroom beasts obediently.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Liu Bai distributed the cut cake.
But after the last piece of cake was given to Leila, Liu Bai found that he still had no cake...
"Oh no, I didn't sit properly!"
Looking at the empty table and his empty hands, Liu Bai realized that he seemed to have cut too little.
"It's okay, I'll eat this with you."
Nashida took Liu Bai's hand with some amusement and asked him to sit down next to her.
"..."
Looking at the cake in front of her, Leila swallowed hard.
I have helped him eliminate all the strange things that appeared during the making of the cake, and even rearranged the final appearance for him. It looks much more normal, so it shouldn't taste bad, right... ?
If it tastes bad...
Leila looked at the Little Auspicious Grass King, then at the Great Kindness Tree King sitting opposite her, and suddenly felt that she was doomed.
The Great Compassionate Tree King didn't care about Leila's reaction. She looked at the cake in front of her with some confusion.
Why does this cake... have the element of thunder?
But the elemental power is not very strong. Could it be a new way of seasoning?
Speaking of which, it seems that someone in Liyue loves to eat slime. According to her, although the slime of thunder slime is a bit numbing, it tastes very good, just like spicy food.
Thinking of this, the Great Compassionate Tree King felt slightly relieved.
After all, she had tasted the birthday cake that Liu Bai prepared for Nashida during the last flower goddess birthday festival, proving that Liu Bai's cakes were pretty good.
"Ahem, as a chef, let me help everyone taste a bite first."
After distributing the cakes, Liu Bai coughed lightly and said.
Then he used a cake fork to scoop a piece from the cake.
"Purple, grape-flavored cake? I didn't add any grapes..."
Liu Bai looked at the purple cake and muttered something, then put the purple cream and soft cake into his mouth.
"Gah——!"
call out--
The next moment, Liu Bai disappeared from the spot, covering his neck. When he reappeared, he was already on the other side of Jingshan Palace. He fell to the ground with his hands covering his neck, motionless.
Seeing this scene, Leila shattered gently in a corner where no one was paying attention.
It’s over, it’s over. I will never be able to pass my thesis again…
At this time, the greedy wind mushroom beast also licked the purple cream on the cake.
"...home, home, I want to...go home..."
The wind mushroom beast rolled off the table and called out weakly to Apep.
But as it became weak, green lightning flashed from its body, and it was obviously entering an intense state.
But entering an intense state when you are so weak is like having sex when you have a high fever. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
"You, you..."
Apep quickly picked up the weak wind mushroom beast from the ground and checked its condition.
"You actually used forbidden knowledge to make a cake!"
Apep said with an incredulous look on his face when he discovered that the condition of the Wind Fungus Beast seemed to be contaminated by forbidden knowledge.
"..."
The Great Compassion Tree King looked at the cake in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes.
I wonder if Apep, the one I just won over, will be scared away?
"I think there may be some misunderstanding..."
Nashida thought it would be better to explain, but she should cure the wind mushroom beast first.
"The cake is disgusting. I don't want it."
With the cooperation of Nashida and the Great Mercy Tree King, the Wind Fungus Beast recovered soon, but hid far away.
I'm afraid it will never dare to get close to the cake again.
Liu Bai also staggered to his feet from the ground and looked around in a daze.
"Why am I here?"
Afterwards, the two gods and one dragon worked together to seal the remaining cake to avoid any accidents.
Liu Bai was also ordered by Nashida not to touch any kitchen utensils.
……
Although she still received her wages, Leila felt that her future was bleak. She apologized to Nashida and finally left the Jingshan Palace in a daze.
She has already started to consider packing her bags and returning home, which would at least be more decent.
"It seems that someone needs to comfort her, otherwise she might really die..."
Seeing Leila's psychological activities, Nashida said helplessly.
She didn't blame Leila. After all, Liu Bai's cooking skills were still the same without Leila.
But this also made Nashida come to a conclusion that Liu Bai’s current cooking skills cannot be improved through learning.
"Grass Dragon, can we go home now? Not only us, but also many family members are waiting to go home with us."
Instead of eating the cake, the water mushroom beast simply ate a few fruits, then led the other two mushroom beasts to come to Apep and ask questions.
It is still absorbing the elemental power of many family members in its body, waiting to return home.
"Okay, then you should say goodbye to your friends first."
Apep did not refuse this time, but he still reminded them first.
Hearing what Apep said, the wind mushroom beast immediately floated in front of Liu Bai and crawled into his arms.
"I want to go home, and you want to go home too."
The wind mushroom beast was in Liu Bai's arms, raised its head and spoke to him.
"Well, don't worry."
Liu Bai responded by touching the wind mushroom beast's head.
