Original God, looking for the heart

"Is this the companion you are talking about?"

"Yes, it's him." Kong hesitated before asking, "Why did you start fighting?"

Mandrill sighed softly and explained: "I felt the fluctuation of the devil's residue at Wangshu Inn. When I rushed here, I saw your companions gathering a group of monsters. When he saw me coming, he dismissed the monsters."

Mo Bei was not convinced after hearing this: "I encountered a wave of monsters, not a gathering of monsters."

Mandrill closed his eyes and turned his head to the side, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Kong can only try his best to reconcile in the middle.

Mo Bei adjusted his mentality and asked again: "...Did you just talk about the aura of the devil's remnant?"

Mandrill glanced at Mo Bei: "It's on your body. To be precise, it's near the heart."

"Eh?" Mo Bei's pupils shrank slightly after hearing this, and he unconsciously raised his hand, placing it hesitantly on his chest. Did he lose his heart because of the devil's remnants? But when did this residue enter my body? It also happens to appear near the heart...

"So, those monsters rioted because of my influence?"

"Ah."

……

The three of them discussed it and the result was as follows: Sora went to find other immortals. Mo Bei stayed at the inn to prevent the monsters from gathering elsewhere, while Mandrill took care of him.

Mo Bei: Have I become a dangerous person?

Liyue, Wangshu Inn

Kong and Mo Bei temporarily live in the same room.

Seeing many scratches and damage on Mo Bei's clothes, Kong couldn't help but feel worried.

"Mo Bei, are you okay? I have Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken here, do you want one?"

Mo Bei waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a scratch on my clothes, I'm not injured." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, and there were no scars on his arms except for some blood stains.

Mo Bei didn't want others to worry because of him. Anyway, with his physique, these wounds will heal quickly. Just say "It's okay".

Kong relaxed after hearing these words, and urged Mo Bei to take a bath quickly.

Mo Bei quickly finished taking a shower, put on clean clothes and came out, noticing that Kong was still thinking about something at this moment.

"Kong, what are you thinking?"

"I heard that Mandrill likes to eat almond tofu."

"Almond tofu?"

According to Kong's recollection, the chef responsible for Mandrill's catering at Wangshu Inn was named "Yan Xiao".

The mandrill in Yan Xiao's mouth is, "good-looking and not tall." And the most outstanding point about his diet:

“Too hard to take care of”

"Pfft" Mo Bei couldn't help but laugh, "So you plan to make almond tofu for him?"

"That's right. Almond tofu, plus a satisfying salad."

"Sounds good. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Then maybe I really need your help."

……

Second day

Kong and Mo Bei used the teleportation anchor point to go to Mondstadt City and purchase some materials.

Sweet almonds, sugar, agar-agar, and...a lot of milk? !

Sora: "I remember I didn't get so much milk."

Mo Bei scratched his head in embarrassment: "Ahem, I got the milk...I paid for it myself."

The two paid the bill, and Mo Bei threw all the milk into the storage space. When he thought about having so much milk, Mo Bei was so happy that he almost flew into the air.

Liyue, Wangshu Inn

Kong and Mo Bei borrowed Yan Xiao's kitchen.

Sora took out a small notebook and made almond tofu strictly according to the above records: "First soak the sweet almonds in water, then use a blender to grind them until there are no particles."

While Mo Bei drank milk, he watched Sora's operations: he was so serious, he even took notes. "

Paimon: "Of course. Kong has specifically asked Yan Xiao for advice."

After grinding the almonds, Kong took out the fine gauze and filtered the beaten almonds twice.

"Then add the filtered almonds to the pot, add the milk, and the soaked agar."

"And this! Rock candy." Sora threw a few more pieces of rock candy into it.

Boil the almond milk over low heat until it boils, and the room is filled with the sweetness of milk and almonds.

Sieve again, pour the almond milk into the mold and refrigerate.

If Kong hadn't said that the almond tofu would be made by himself, Mo Bei would also have wanted to participate.

At night, Kong took out the refrigerated almond tofu, cut it into pieces, put it on a plate, topped it with osmanthus sugar... and even mixed a satisfying salad himself.

"Mo Bei, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Wangshu Inn, top floor

According to Yan Xiao, Mandrill lives in a room on the top floor.

Kong climbed to the top floor, and he saw Mandrill standing on the balcony staring outside, still holding his Nuo noodles in his hand. It seemed that he was planning to clean up the surrounding monsters.

Sora called out softly: "Mandrill."

"What's the matter?" Mandrill turned around and crossed his arms.

"I just made a dish that I would like you to try." Sora brought out the plate of satisfying salad.

"No need." Mandrill just glanced at the dishes in his empty hands, "There are still monsters to clean up today, so I don't have time to eat." Mandrill gave people a cold feeling. But it's hard to empty it.

"Try it. Anyway, no monsters have appeared yet. If it's too late, the food will be cold and it won't taste good."

Mandrill revealed mercilessly: "...Satisfaction salad is meant to be cold."

"..." Sora's smile condensed on his face.

Mandrill also knew that if he didn't agree to Kong, he might be entangled forever. He walked over, picked up the salad, picked up a piece of potato with his fork and put it in his mouth. Charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

“The taste is okay.”

Just when Mandrill was about to eat the second piece of potato, a spoon held a piece of milky-white tofu and was brought to his mouth.

"Ah, open your mouth."

Perhaps because he didn't react for a moment, the mandrill bit him directly.

Well, it's smooth, soft, and has the mellow flavor of milk. It's the almond tofu he likes. Mandrill couldn't help but reminisce about this delicious food.

"!" He suddenly realized something and looked away. Only a whisper was heard: "No respect for the immortal master."

Kong didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he passed the plate of almond tofu made by himself to Mandrill.

Even though they are all called "almond tofu", different people make them with different tastes. As soon as I took one bite, I could taste something different from the past.

"It's not Yanxiao's craft. Did you do it?"

"I did it, what do you think about Mandrill? Can you still accept it?"

"It's okay." Mandrill took a spoonful of almond tofu and put it in his mouth.

Today’s almond tofu was extra sweet. I don’t know...

Mandrill raised his eyes, and his golden eyes with diamond-shaped pupils met Sora's expectant eyes.

——I don’t know if it’s because of him.

Perhaps, this can be called a "sweet dream".
