Chapter 463 The Best Taste in the World

Chapter 463 The Best Taste in the World

[Ningguang] "According to Liyue's records, this scene seems to be very similar to Liyue after the Demon God War ended thousands of years ago."

[Ganyu] "At that time, even though the fierce and cruel war had come to an end, the huge trauma it brought was like a scar deeply engraved on the land of Liyue, which is difficult to erase."

[Zhongli] "If it weren't for Marcosius, I wonder how long this tragic situation would have lasted..."

[Keqing] "We are undoubtedly blessed and lucky to be born in this era, but we will never forget the efforts and contributions made by the people and immortals at that time. Without them, there would not be the prosperous Liyue Harbor today."

【Xiangling】“But how come Guoba dreamed about the Liyue scene at that time? And in the dream, Guoba seemed to have done something extraordinary.”

[Traveler Ying] "I have a bold guess..."

[Kumi] "Me too..."

[Paimon] "What are you two talking about?"

[Grandma Ping] "To be honest, Guoba is actually what you call the Kitchen God - [Devil of the Stove]."

[Return to the End] "Alas, Marcosius~ Now it's your turn to be exposed."

【Potato】"Lu~"

[Paimon] "Pot...Pot is the devil!"

[Grandma Ping] "That's right, Marcosius, also known as Guoba now, is the demon god closest to humans."

"How does it feel to see yourself in your prime? Look at him, he's still so majestic."

【Xiangling】"In its heyday? What happened to Guoba?"

[Grandma Ping] "It just gave all the wisdom and strength it once had to this land."

[Keqing] "The demon god gave his power to the land... I've heard of this before, but how do we do it?"

[Zhongli] "The dangers and trials faced by a land are far more numerous than you can imagine. Droughts, floods, heavy rains, hurricanes... earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, and catastrophic diseases."

【Xianyun】"Disasters have never completely disappeared on the land of Liyue. Troubles that have never appeared in the past will arise in the future. Mortals do not have immortal bodies, so they are most affected by these factors."

[Grandma Ping] "It was he who accompanied you across the barren plains, to the port, to build houses and light fires; it was he who personally lit the first night lamp in Liyue, and let the aroma of food drift into thousands of homes."

[Alicea] "I am becoming more and more interested in this friendly demon god. Can you tell me more about his footprints?"

[Grandma Ping] "[Demon of the Hearth] Marcosius was born from sparks from the collision of rocks."

"He is in charge of the hearth and people's livelihood, and is a demon god who loves humans."

"Thousands of years ago, the ancients expanded the city and built a settlement on the plain, naming it [Guiliji]."

"The Kitchen God protects people's livelihood and creates clones to sneak into thousands of households to help light fires and cook, helping people reunite."

"However, a flood took away their homes. The water destroyed Guiliji, and the residents were forced to move south back to Liyue Harbor."

“Although the journey was not very far, there were violent storms along the way, and the immortals escorted the people for more than ten days.”

"During this period, the Kitchen God created an ancient delicacy consisting of naan and meat sauce that can dispel dampness and cold, and is easy to carry."

"Hundreds of years later, when disasters and diseases struck the earth, the Kitchen God no longer appeared frequently. Instead, he channeled all his power into the land to quell the disasters."

"The Kitchen God, having exhausted his power, became less intelligent and smaller in stature. When he finally said goodbye to us, he was no taller than a person."

"He told the Emperor and me about the dishes that bring happiness and the secrets of the fire, then he went to the mountains and forests and fell into a long sleep."

"The Kitchen God left this world, and Guoba was born. On the day he woke up, he ate the spicy meat steamed bread made by the girl in yellow. Although he could not remember the past, he was still moved. He decided to follow this girl."

"After the Kitchen God quietly disappeared, vendors started setting up stalls and shouting early every morning, people went out to buy things, and made fires to cook... Because Liyue has always been like this."

"Wind and rain still bless, mountains and seas rejoice together, this is the blessing of heaven and earth."

【Ganyu】"The stars have moved, the world has changed, but the world remains the same."

[Ningguang] "My fame and success will be with me for a hundred years and a thousand years. Don't forget to walk around at night with a candle."

[Keqing] "All events of the past and present are stirring, and great plans await newcomers."

[Grandma Ping] "My old friend, during the time you were asleep, Liyue has become so prosperous and beautiful. Are you happy?"

[Xiang Ling] "Guo Ba... Why didn't you tell me such an important thing..."

【Potato】"Lu~"

[Kaeya] "Guobaba means you can't understand what it says."

[Paimon] "He is no longer the same as before. He can't even speak anymore. I can't tell you."

[Xiang Ling] "Guo Ba...you, you...ah!"

[Grandma Ping] "Don't be sad, Xiangling. Everything has two sides. Although Guoba is not as intelligent as before, he has also let go of his worries. He is truly free from worries."

"Is there anyone who has no worries in this world? We have knowledge and brains, so we are naturally confused by various things."

"But he has gone further than us, with both wisdom and courage. He has taken it up and put it down. Now he is relaxed, which is proof that he is taking a rest."

"Xiangling, if you want to treat him well, you should take better care of him, go out for walks with him, eat, drink and have fun with him."

[Xiang Ling] "I will, I will definitely do it!"

[Keqing] "Xiangling, you are a person with a destiny to be immortal. Guoba following you is a recognition of you."

"Just woke up from a long sleep, and found a familiar taste in a spicy meat steamed bun. Even after so long, he still remembered the dish he invented and approved of the dish you made."

[Captain] "Xiangling is such a good cook."

[Traveler Ying] "I like Xiangling's cooking, too!"

[Xiangling] "That would be great. Because... bringing smiles to our customers is our mission as chefs."

The scene continues.

"Wake up, get up."

Guoba, who was in his sleep, suddenly heard someone calling him. He woke up dazedly and saw Xiao Xiangling extending a friendly hand to him, "Let's go."

At the same time, the sky outside was clear and everyone walked out of the cave. After many days, Guoba saw the light again, and the dazzling sunlight shone on it.

Seeing Guoba standing there in a daze, Xiao Xiangling asked, "What's wrong? Come here quickly!"

Guoba looked at Xiao Xiangling and made a happy sound as if he had made some kind of decision.
