Chapter 246: What To Do?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dragin was in the backyard, but she was silently calculating the time. To a dragon, a few minutes were like seconds, but now they felt like years. Every minute was so long!
Nobody had to call for her. Dragin had already rushed out from the backyard. “Is it ready?”
Li Nianfan nodded and smiled, “Yes, it’s ready.”
He walked over and lifted the lid gradually. The smoke was not too thick. The air was already filled with a faint hint of sweetness. Now, it was even stronger.
Fragrance rushed to her nose. Although its aroma was not as thick as the dishes, this fragrance was more refreshing and soothing. It made one feel more enjoyable.
“What a strange smell.”
Egg, flour, honey, and some oil. This recipe would not be found in this Immortal Realm. However, mixing them made them even more tempting and alluring.
One could see that the cake mix had risen, its surface glowing with a rounded look. It was different from the steamed buns. There was a layer of yellow and brown, clearly distinguished unlike the single color of the plain white bun. The outlook of this was more captivating, especially to a kid.
Gulp!
Dragin’s eyes had turned into stars. She stared at the cake and wanted to lean over with her little face. She was drooling with glistening saliva, ready to drip from her mouth anytime.
Her tiny face was blushing red and her tail was quivering. She clapped in anticipation as she said, “Brother, I want to eat it! I want to eat it!”
“Of course, you’ll get to eat it.” Li Nianfan shook his head and gave her a slice first.
“Thank you, Brother!”
Dragin accepted it. Unafraid of the heat, she opened her mouth and took a bite.
“Wow! So soft!” Dragin’s eyes sparkled. It felt as if she was biting into a layer of cotton. The texture was soft and delicate, brushing against her lips while coating her teeth. She could not help falling silent.
When the cake went into her mouth, the fragrance of the egg mixed with the sweetness of the honey. Most importantly, it melted upon entering her mouth. It did not choke her.
If one had to use a word to describe, it would be…comforting!
The texture was so comforting, the taste was wonderful.
Although the buns made by Li Nianfan were already delicious, compared to this cake, they were far behind!
Dragin cried out in awe, “So, so, so delicious! I’ve decided, cake will be my favorite from now on!”
“This small girl likes to make a big deal out of everything. Sorry for embarrassing you all.” Li Nianfan smiled and shook his head bitterly, he handed each of them a slice.
Zhou Yunwu said, “Mr. Li, this is an instinct. We’ve merely conquered this, a reaction like this to delicious food is normal.”
Li Nianfan laughed and said, “You’re wrong. You haven’t even tried it and you know it’s delicious?”
“It’s made by Mr. Li! Of course, it isn’t bad!” Meng Junliang said.
As they spoke, they each took a slice of cake. The cake was half as big as a palm. It seemed tiny and delicate.
Everyone opened their mouths more delicately than Dragin. They each took one bite.
“Hmm?”
One bite of the cake made them jump. The ingredient was flour as well, but the texture was completely different from the buns. They did not have to use force to bite. With just a touch, it was broken off. Also, the cake bounced inside their mouths, attacking the oral cavity as if massaging them.
They looked at the inside of the cake. Below the milky-yellow surface, the inside of it was a sparkling yellow that was slightly paler than the color of the egg yolk. However…it was so beautiful!
Although the cake was sweet, it was not overly sweet. As their tongues touched the cake, it disintegrated in their mouths and unleashed an exquisite taste that attacked their taste buds. Along with that, a faint heat came from within the fragrance, spreading warmth all over them.
When they swallowed it, the taste of the cake seemed as if it had only started. The fragrance lingered between the oral cavity and esophagus. It was like silk penetrating the heart. Its taste stimulated one’s soul as if imploring them to continue eating.
“So…so delicious!”
Everyone had dreamy looks on their faces.
“Unbelievable! There’s such delicious food in the world.” Rich was very excited. Although he did not move too much, his inner heart was even more unstable than Dragin. His body was slightly shivering throughout the whole thing. There were even tears in his eyes.
He was a physical man. He did not know how to repress his emotions. If it was delicious, he would react accordingly. If not, he would also act accordingly. And this…this was so delicious that he wanted to cry!
He did not know how to describe it. He could only say, “Immortal food! This must be the food of the Immortals!”
Zhou Yunwu said, “Mr. Li, such delicious food doesn’t seem like food for ordinary men!”
Although he had prepped himself mentally and he knew Li Nianfan was no ordinary man, he did not expect it to be so unreal! He was so shocked!
The tastiness of the food was beyond the grasp of an ordinary man. Eating was a natural instinct, so they could not get away from the temptation of delicious food. However, would Immortals be able to find such good food?
Unlikely!
What had they done in their previous lives to cultivate such blessings and meet the expert in this life?
Li Nianfan smiled, “I’m glad you like it. Actually, this cake is just the first stage. It’s only a plain cake. The actual cake is more complex.”
Dragin was already drooling unstoppably. She wiped it off and said in shock, “It can get even better?!”
Li Nianfan nodded, “Yeah, if I add some fruits and butter, the taste will go up a notch.”
Meng Junliang jolted slightly, “Butter? What’s that?”
“The main ingredient of butter is milk,” Li Nianfan explained. He continued, “Mentioning that, I remember now. Have you seen a black and white cow? You can get milk from them.”
Milk was indeed a good thing. Not only was it nutritious, but it could also be used to make many delicious foods. Furthermore, it was time to try something different instead of having plain congee for breakfast. He had wanted to drink milk for a long time.
“Black and white cow?”
Everyone was shocked and then shook their heads. Perhaps this cow was from ancient times?
“No?” Li Nianfan was rather disappointed. If they did not know about it, perhaps there were no cows in this Immortal Realm.
Of course, Zhou Yunwu could not let go of this opportunity to impress the expert. He said sincerely, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li, once we get back I’ll ask my men to keep an eye out for it. If they find it, I’ll bring it over.”
Li Nianfan made a gesture and said, “Thank you.”
Zhou Yunwu was about to ask more questions. However, he felt his stomach twitching vigorously. Swiftly after, his anus slightly tightened.
It was not just him. Rich felt the same. He was standing when suddenly, his body froze. His muscles tightened like a dart. He even started breathing cautiously.
Meng Junliang was slightly better. His reaction was not as big, but he also felt the air in his body slowly making its way out.
This…this…
The washing away of impurities, the cleansing of the body?
Gasp…
Oh, mother! It was happening so soon. What should they do?
Hold it in! Even if they were going to die, they must hold it in!
