Chapter 230 The Test of the Kitchen God
"okay!"
Liu Bai took out the chopsticks without hesitation.
Nashida was startled and subconsciously grabbed Liu Bai's hand holding the chopsticks and shook her head at him.
"Girl, do you want to try it too? I'll give you the first bite~"
Liu Bai picked up some purple noodles with chopsticks and held one hand underneath to prevent the soup from dripping onto the floor of the castle tower.
"No, no need, and your hand is smoking!"
Nashida shook her head and waved her hands, then pointed at Liu Bai's hand that was holding the soup and reminded him.
Although Liu Bai shook the pot when he picked up the noodles, there was still some soup left in the noodles, and white smoke immediately rose when it dripped onto Liu Bai's hand.
"Hot, hot, hot!"
It was only after Nashida reminded Liu Bai that he realized that his hand was scalded. He quickly stuffed the noodles into his mouth to prevent it from dripping, then shook his hand and wiped it on the floor.
"Well?!"
At this moment, Liu Bai, who had just chewed a mouthful of noodles, discovered something was wrong and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his neck.
call out--
"Where did he go?"
Seeing Liu Bai suddenly disappear, even Ying couldn't figure out what ability it was, so he had to look at Nashida.
"I don't know, but he should still be with Inazuma..."
Nashida held her forehead helplessly, and she stayed away from the pot of ramen.
It’s just strange, why are the cooking skills of this Thunder God and Liu Bai comparable?
"By the way, Buyer, you are one of the Seven Consuls, why did you come to Inazuma?"
Ying nodded slightly, then asked Nashida.
Although this was the first time she had seen Nashida, the Grass Goddess throne belonged to Nashida, so Ying could recognize her.
"I just came here to keep him company."
Nashida blushed slightly, but still answered.
She no longer cares whether her relationship with Liu Bai is made public. Xumi and Fengdan basically know about it anyway.
"I see. This is really... surprising."
Ying had been hiding in the Pure Land of One Mind and knew very little about the affairs of other countries. It was only from Nashida that he learned about her relationship with Liu Bai.
It is hard to imagine that a god would fall in love with a human.
If she was still alive and fell in love with a human, Ying was sure that only one of that man and herself would remain alive in Inazuma.
"But isn't it wrong for you to abandon your country like this?"
Thinking so in his mind, Ying continued to ask Nashida.
The Seven Gods can be considered colleagues, and although Ying has severed ties with Sky Island, he believes that he has maintained Inazuma's eternity well enough to pay proper attention to the work progress of his colleagues.
"Hmm, it seems that Miss Ying's information is a little behind schedule. Of course, the affairs of Xumi are in the charge of the Great Compassion Tree King."
Nashida hadn't expected that there would be other gods who didn't know about the return of the Great Compassionate Tree King, so she couldn't help but explain it with some amusement.
"Great Compassion Tree King? She is not... As far as I know, as long as the gods do not fall, the throne will never be passed on to the second demon god. This is the rule set by Sky Island."
Ying frowned slightly, not quite understanding Nashida's explanation.
"That's true, but no one has stipulated that a retired god can't come back."
Nashida did not hide this from Ying, because she knew that Ying only needed to do a little investigation to confirm that the death and return of the Great Mercy Tree King were real, so this was the only possibility.
"What……?!"
Ying's calm mind was shaken by Nashida's words.
……
"Who are you to dare to trespass into the Tianling Fengxing Mansion?"
In the Tenryo Bugyofu adjacent to the castle tower, a woman named Kujo Sara drew her arrow and aimed it at Liu Bai.
Liu Bai slowly woke up and climbed up from the ground in a daze, looking at Kujo Sara with his wings spread and a serious expression.
There were many soldiers under Tianling Fengxing around who surrounded Liu Bai.
This guy is so brave that he suddenly appeared and knocked Lord Sala down...
This is the first time I see Lord Sara spread his wings like a feather...
Although Tianling Fengxing's soldiers murmured in their hearts, they still surrounded Liu Bai.
"Ugh...Hello, Miss Crow."
There was still remnant of the test from the God of Cooking in Liu Bai's mouth. After dry heaving for a while, Liu Bai looked up and spoke to Kujo Sara.
"crow……"
"Humph, it turns out he's a drunkard. Arrest him."
Seeing Liu Bai retching, Kujo Sara subconsciously held his breath in disgust and gave orders to the soldiers around him.
A group of soldiers pointed their spears and halberds at Liu Bai and slowly moved forward, intending to subdue him.
"Where is this place? I wonder if I have passed the test of the God of Cooking..."
Liu Bai looked around and scratched his head. He only took action when the soldiers were approaching him. He pulled out a bamboo stick left over from the barbecue from the trash can in Xiao Bai's house.
With two gentle swings, the spears and lances in the soldiers' hands broke one after another, and the trident spear heads fell to the ground.
Then Liu Bai tapped them lightly a few times with a bamboo stick, and all the soldiers flew backwards, covering their chests, and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"No, we have to go back to find the Master Cook... huh?"
After dealing with the soldiers who surrounded him, Liu Bai hurriedly wanted to go back to find Ying, but at this moment an arrow with lightning shot towards his face.
Liu Bai immediately raised his hand and grabbed the arrow.
After grasping the arrow, Liu Bai discovered that there was a purple bird feather on the arrow.
"...Ms. Crow, you are losing your hair."
Seeing the bird feathers on the arrow, Liu Bai turned around and spoke to the Kujo Sara with wings growing behind it.
"Humph."
Kujo Sara snorted coldly, and at this time a purple light emanated from the bird feather.
The next moment, like a lightning strike, purple elemental power burst out from Liu Bai's hands and submerged him.
However, Kujo Sara obviously did not think that he could completely subdue the man in front of him with just one move. While lightning flashed, he used the speed advantage of his own Crow Tengu clan to rush forward, intending to subdue Liu Bai with his bare hands.
Such suspicious trespassing into Tianling is a serious crime, and his purpose must be found out by torture.
However, just when Kujo Sara was about to catch Liu Bai, Liu Bai reached out and grabbed her wrist first.
With a slight twist, Kujo Sara was pulled from the air to the ground and subdued by twisting his arms behind his back.
"Damn it... Do you know where this is?"
Liu Bai accidentally used too much force, causing Jiujo Sara to frown in pain with a distorted expression, so he had no choice but to scold Liu Bai.
This place is right next to the castle tower. Even if the Tenryo Bugyo can't catch Liu Bai for his misconduct, the general will never let him leave.
"Stop it."
At this moment, the Eye of Evil opened from the side, and Shadow's voice came out from inside.
"Lord General..."
Kujo Sara didn't care about the pain of his twisted arm, and quickly raised his head to look in the direction of the Eye of Evil.
"Sarah, he is my guest. He just took the wrong road on his first visit to Inazuma."
Ying explained to Kujo Sara.
Liu Bai also recognized the voice of the God of Cooking and cooperated by releasing Kujo Sara's hand.
"I understand, General."
"I'm sorry for offending you just now."
Kujo Sara rubbed his red and swollen wrist, and without any hesitation to Ying's words, he turned around and apologized to Liu Bai.
