Chapter 6: The God King Has a Cold?
"You little rascal, your cooking skills are pretty good. Next time you eat something this delicious, remember to call me!"
"Yes, yes, I know, I know," Mu Chen replied perfunctorily, handing another skewer of grilled fish to Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan covered her mouth and chuckled softly. This kind of Xuanzi was probably only seen in front of Mu Chen.
Just then, an old figure appeared beside the three of them.
"Elder Mu."
Xuanzi, who was originally quite unruly, immediately became respectful.
Xuanzi dared not be disrespectful to his junior uncle.
Moon waved his hand casually, then looked with interest at the grilled fish roasting over the fire.
"Little Chen, why didn't you take Xuanzu with you when you ate all this delicious food?"
At this moment, Mu En was no longer the master of the Sea God Pavilion, but just an ordinary old man talking to his great-grandson.
Mu Chen quickly picked up a skewer of freshly grilled fish and handed it to Mu En with a grin: "Come on, Ancestor, try my cooking, what do you think?"
Moon took the grilled fish and took a bite.
The intense aroma, mixed with the juice, exploded in his mouth, leaving even the Sea God Pavilion Master somewhat shocked.
It's really not easy to grill an ordinary fish to this level.
"Not bad, Xiao Chen, your skills are good enough to open a shop. Xuan Zu will be the first to support you then."
Only at times like these can you hear Moon say things he wouldn't normally say.
Mu Chen scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Opening a shop is out of the question. I only cook for my family and friends. As long as you like it, that's fine."
Eating only grilled fish felt a bit monotonous, so Mu Chen remembered the Gale Wolf he had brought back.
"Old man, bring out the soul beasts we hunted, I'll make you something delicious."
Since Mu Chen hadn't had a chance to ask Mu En for a storage soul tool yet, he temporarily left it with Xuan Zi.
Xuanzi took out two soul beasts: a Gale Wolf and a Rock Deer.
Mu Chen asked Xuan Zi for a dagger and began to process the two ingredients.
Mu Chen also possesses exceptional skills in handling ingredients.
Like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, he perfectly cut off the useful parts of the Gale Wolf and the Rock Deer.
After finishing, Mu Chen took out a handful of unused branches and whittled them into wooden sticks.
The other three just watched him operate, not knowing what he was going to do.
After Mu Chen cut off all the meat, he cut it into small pieces.
Then, he picked up a wooden skewer and a few pieces of meat, and skewered the meat onto the skewer.
That's right, he wants to recreate one of his favorite foods from his previous life: grilled skewers.
Wolf meat skewers and venison skewers—these were flavors he had never tasted in his previous life.
After skewering the meat, Mu Chen couldn't wait to set up a wooden rack and start grilling.
The meat of spirit beasts is far superior to that of ordinary animals, let alone these two, which are hundred-year-old spirit beasts, making their meat even more delicious.
Under the scorching heat of the flames, the meat sizzles and releases a rich aroma even before any seasoning is added.
Mu Chen picked up the pile of bottles and jars and sprinkled his special seasoning on them in order.
The moment the seasoning was sprinkled on, an even stronger aroma burst forth.
The smell penetrated the nasal cavity and rushed straight to the top of the head, making it irresistible.
Of all those present, Xuanzi was the one who was most craving it.
Looking at the meat skewers that Mu Chen was flipping over and over in his hand, his mouth was watering.
Zhang Lexuan was also very much looking forward to seeing what delicious food Mu Chen could make.
Moon's reaction was relatively calm, but there was still a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Hahaha, the skewers are here!"
Mu Chen grabbed a handful of skewers in each hand and handed them to the three of them.
Xuanzi was the first to take a bite.
He had a skewer of wolf meat in his left hand and a skewer of venison in his right, and he ate them all in one bite.
The aroma of the meat danced freely in my mouth, even more fragrant than the grilled fish I had just eaten.
The meat is tender and juicy, neither dry nor fatty.
This made Xuanzi so happy that she didn't care about her image anymore, even though she didn't really have one anyway.
Seeing how much Xuanzi, the gourmand, was enjoying his food, Mu En also curiously tried a skewer.
In his opinion, it was truly amazing and a rare delicacy.
"Xiao Chen, why didn't you call Bei Bei over too?"
Mu Chen slapped his forehead: "Ancestor Xuan is right! I'll go call him right now!"
Mu Chen rushed home and saw Bei Bei still meditating and cultivating.
"Come on, buddy, I made something delicious, let me treat you!"
Beibei opened her eyes, looked at Mu Chen, and then shook her head: "No, brother, I want to cultivate diligently!"
Looking at Beibei's appearance, Mu Chen was reminded of how he was in the original work when Tang Ya relaxed her cultivation. The two images contrasted sharply.
"Don't worry, brother, with me here, you won't get caught on that scoundrel's leash again this time!"
"Third Brother, what's wrong?"
In the realm of the gods, within the temple of the sea god.
These past two days, Tang San has been sneezing frequently for no apparent reason, which has greatly worried Xiao Wu.
Tang San was puzzled: "I don't know why, but I seem to be sneezing a lot these past two days."
"Could it be that he caught a cold?"
Xiao Wu was so flustered that she blurted out that the God King could catch a cold.
Tang San smiled helplessly and patted Xiao Wu's head: "Xiao Wu, I'm a God King now, how could I catch a cold?"
Although Tang San said this, he was already on guard.
However, he had observed the Douluo Continent and found nothing amiss.
"I have a feeling that someone is cursing me behind my back, but my divine sense has swept across the entire Douluo Continent and I haven't found anything unusual."
This is the function of the system. No matter how much Mu Chen curses or insults Tang San, Tang San cannot detect it and cannot even discover that there is such a person as Mu Chen on the Douluo Continent.
Mu Chen grabbed Bei Bei and said, "Alright, little brother, don't work so hard. I'll go find you some immortal herbs later to improve your talent."
Mu Chen would definitely not leave something like the hot pot with both ice and fire to Huo Yuhao; he would have to get it himself.
There's no way to absorb too much of this herb; any extra will definitely be given to friends and family, and Beibei will certainly have a spot.
There are records of immortal herbs in Shrek's ancient books, after all, the Shrek Seven Devils absorbed them ten thousand years ago.
Hearing Mu Chen say this, Bei Bei didn't believe him: "That immortal herb is a divine item, where are you going to find it?"
"Hey, who do you think I am? I say I can find you, so let's hurry up and go, or we'll all be eaten by Old Man Xuan."
Judging by Xuanzi's gourmet pace, those meat skewers probably won't last long.
Upon hearing this, Beibei stopped worrying and followed Mu Chen.
When they arrived, Mu Chen saw wooden skewers scattered all over the ground and Xuan Zi eating with his mouth full of oil.
Zhang Lexuan and Mu En had already wiped their mouths clean, but Xuanzi was still savoring the taste.
