Chapter 745 His Dream
On the platform on the top floor of Wangshu Inn, Xiao and the team of travelers explained the matter of the Huangliang Dream Pillow in more detail.
Although yellow sorghum tastes bad and bitter, it is a rare crop that can be grown in abundance in the Chenyu Valley, which has a strong wild atmosphere.
Originally, these crops were specially cultivated by the Dream Demon to help the humans under his rule obtain enough food.
The three members of the Traveler Team all thought of Fu Jin of Chenyu Valley. "The Demon God of Chenyu Valley... The Demon God of Dreams?"
The Demon God of Dreams harmed Fu Jin and other immortals under his command so badly that he almost flooded Liyue!
But Fu Jin did not show much resentment when he mentioned her.
I think it’s not only because Fu Jin has a good temper, but also because this dream demon did a lot of good things before he went crazy.
Xiao paused, and continued, "I don't know if it's because of the absorption of wild energy or the influence of the devil's authority, but the alienated Huangliang has developed some special abilities that can make it easier for the consciousness to enter the dream and constantly induce the other party to indulge in it."
At that time, the living environment for humans was harsh and life was extremely hard. The dream of being able to get whatever you wanted became an indispensable spiritual comfort, and the belief in the Dream Demon God soared.
Kong keenly sensed the danger hidden in the beautiful dream and frowned.
Xiao continued: "Good dreams, or good wishes, are very important to people."
A person can unleash greater strength and courage to move forward in order to realize his beautiful wishes.
"But those who indulge in beautiful dreams... those who are unwilling to leave the dream and return to reality eventually become puppets of the dream demon."
Many humans have given up everything in the real world and use the little time they are awake every day just to maintain their vital signs.
Kong really didn't know what to say.
The devil loves, but the way he loves is hard to describe.
The Tornado Demon used violent winds to trap and captive the humans of Old Mondstadt, choosing to protect and love them in this way. However, he did not know that freedom was more important than life.
The Dream Demon's approach is similar, giving humans illusory dreams, which is not beneficial to human growth and development.
Paimon was almost dying of anxiety, "That! That's so dangerous! What if a monster comes? We don't even need a monster, but a wild beast? Wouldn't it be terrible for these people who are addicted to sleep and dreaming?!"
Xiao: "In order to prevent this, the Dream Demon Goddess arranged guardians for her people who believed in her."
Not only is the protection of humanity, but also the war border defense, and the battles with other demons and their followers are all handed over to the bloodthirsty guardian.
Paimon felt relieved. "That's right! Demons will have followers and subordinates."
But Su felt something was wrong!
Fu Jin and Yao Jun, who were under the command of the Demon God Chen Yugu, were either assistants or nurses. Ling Yuan was slightly stronger than them in combat, but he was neither a very good fighter nor her subordinate.
A warlike existence that can save such a large piece of land and humanity from the fight of other demon gods...
The warlike Yaksha——Xiao drooped his eyelashes.
Seeing that Xiao didn't want to talk about it, Su gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
Protecting a bunch of weak guys who only know how to sleep, no one would want to take on such a mess! Xiao... was probably forced.
Kong also roughly guessed the hidden secret that Xiao had not said, and guessed that if the Dream Demon appeared in front of Su, Su would beat her into a sieve and then grind her into powder on the spot.
The innocent and cute little Paimon brought the topic back to the topic, "No wonder the spy was so cruel, it turns out that Huangliang is such a dangerous thing!"
And they can be used as pillows. There must be someone secretly planting it behind the scenes! Maybe it’s the remnants of the belief in the dead demon god who are preparing to cause trouble!
Su didn't want to continue this topic, and Xiao considerately said nothing more. He asked them to wait for a moment and then left the platform.
Sora patted the girl's shoulder, silently comforting her.
The past is like the wind. Although those painful events left traces in Xiao's past, Xiao still came to the present.
“If…” Su swallowed the arrogant words that if she could have met Xiao earlier, Xiao might be happier than he is now.
Saying this seems to deny Xiao's efforts along the way, and also seems to betray everyone she meets now.
Su held his head in annoyance and wanted to scream to the sky!
Xiao, who had left, came back carrying a large food box.
The girl patted her cheeks and smiled nonchalantly, "Xiao is going to treat us to a delicious meal!"
Wherever there is good food, there is me! Paimon flew to a high tree branch to watch the birds hatching eggs and flashed down at the speed of light, "What is that?"
Kong set up the small dining table and Xiao opened the lunch box, which contained four servings of almond tofu.
Kong had previously said that if he had eaten anything delicious he could bring everyone to try, but after trying for a long time, the only dish that was worth sharing was almond tofu.
The best dessert at Wangshu Inn is almond tofu. The dessert made from ground almonds has a tender, sweet taste and a rich, long-lasting almond aroma.
But when the team of travelers looked at the almond tofu on the plate, they recognized at a glance that it was not the work of Yan Xiao, the chef of Wangshu Inn.
Normally almond tofu would be topped with a lot of osmanthus honey, but the almond tofu that Xiao served was made with the more rare elemental nectar, and also had a circle of colorful "pearls" and a few pieces of green jade-like jelly.
Looking at the circle of "pearls" surrounding the almond tofu that looked very similar to the pearls worn by Xiao, Su Lihe guessed, "Was it made by Xiao?"
Xiao nodded, "It's still edible."
"You're too modest, Xiao!" Paimon raised the spoon impatiently, "Xiao is so good at hands-on work, the desserts he makes must be delicious!"
Kong nodded in agreement. Being good at hands-on skills is very helpful for cooking. Even Su, who is not good at handicrafts, can make meatballs that are particularly chewy because of his good hands-on skills.
"Hmm~~~" Su had already finished a large piece of almond tofu and tasted the colorful "pearl" and "green jade" jellies. "Delicious! Super delicious!"
"The almond tofu has no bitter taste of almonds and is very smooth! The jade jelly is a refreshing mint jelly with a unique mint aroma!"
"The colored pearls are even more amazing, they have fillings! And the fillings are different jams and flower jams, each one is like a surprise, super ingenious!"
Looking at the girl's eyes sparkling with stars, anyone can see that the dessert made by Xiao is especially to her taste.
"Such delicious almond tofu must have a special name!" Paimon finished it in no time and was still not satisfied, so he urged Xiao to name his work.
Xiao looked at the girl using a spoon to secretly scoop out the "pearls" from him and the empty plate, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Call, sweet dream."
He once gave up his "real name" in a long dream torture, and because he was forced to devour the "sweet dreams" of the defeated, he almost lost the ability to dream sweet dreams.
But it doesn’t matter, because compared to the illusory dream, the reality today is a better “dream”.
