Shengshuiyuan

During the warm and comfortable lunch time, everyone sat around in the spacious royal garden with lush plants.Watching or exercising martial arts, or playing around with everyone.Lantiere and Li Muyan were grilling all kinds of meat products, fresh vegetables and seafood.

Seeing Lantiere busy making delicious baked goods, Li Muyan narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile

"Eating only baked products is a bit monotonous. I also cook some Ning'an specialties for everyone to try."

As he said that, Li Muyan stretched out his hand and waved it with one hand. On the small table beside him, a lot of ingredients with rich ingredients appeared in an instant.Li Muyan rolled up his sleeves and picked up the spatula.Gearing up, he began to make Ning'an's delicacies with great interest.

Looking at the fragrant and delicious food, Li Ge, who was playing with the small fish by the lake, swallowed lightly.Carefully, he approached Lantiere, who was focused on grilling delicious barbecue and grilled seafood, and reached out his hand to steal the barbecue on the grill.

When he found Lige who was like a greedy cat, Lantiyer looked helpless, raised his hand and patted it lightly, and Lige secretly extended his hand and said with a smile

"Little greedy cat, you want to eat the meat before it's roasted, so you're not afraid of spoiling your stomach?"

Covering the slapped hand, Lige looked innocent, looked at Lantiere pitifully and said

"It's so fragrant, I want to eat it..."

As he spoke, Lige stared intently at the fragrant roasted whole lamb, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and his light blue eyes seemed to be able to burst out sparks.

Invited by Lantierre not far away, Fran, who has fully recovered after a good recuperation, is squatting down with a happy face, and I don’t know what to say to a rose among the flowers. The roses, as if they were alive, twisted their branches and leaves.Daniel, who was standing beside Fran, looked at Fran who was "talking" to Rose, and smiled tenderly.

After preparing all kinds of barbecue, Lantiere looked at the table full of delicious food with satisfaction.Nodding slightly, squinting his eyes and smiling slightly, he said to the frolicking crowd

"Lunch is ready, let's eat."

When everyone heard that it was time to have lunch, they all happily approached and prepared to feast.

Looking at the big table, in addition to the delicious grilled meat, seafood and vegetables that have been cut and placed on the plate.There is also the first time that Li Muyan cooks in front of everyone. You have never seen it before. Ning'an's various dishes are not named, but they look very delicious.The palms that rubbed one after another were eager to try.

Seeing a table of delicious Ning'an-style dishes, everyone looked envious and marveled at Li Muyan finally making the soup and placing the casserole with the delicious soup on the table.

Luo Keke swallowed lightly, looked at the meat in front of her that was full of red aroma, looked at Li Muyan with a puzzled face and asked

"Brother Muyan, what is this red dish?"

Li Muyan sat down with a gentle face, looked at the dishes placed in front of Rococo, and introduced

"This dish is a spicy dish called Maoxuewang. But people don't like spicy food very much, so I made it spicy."

Saying that everyone's eyes were attracted by this delicious dish, Li Muyan smiled lightly and continued to introduce Maoxuewangdao

"Maoxuewang is an appetizer. The ingredients include: hairy tripe, duck blood, fat intestines, rice field eel, sliced ​​meat, lettuce, celery, lotus root, mushrooms, and bean sprouts. It tastes fresh, spicy and refreshing."

Seeing everyone swallowing, Li Muyan narrowed his eyes lightly and said

"Come and taste how it tastes."

Just as Li Muyan finished speaking the last word, everyone picked up their chopsticks and moved them one after another at an extremely fast speed, eating the Maoxuewang in the big basin.In the blink of an eye, a large bowl of delicious, red and spicy Maoxuewang was quickly eaten up by everyone.

Looking at the bottom of the vegetable bowl, Li Muyan continued to introduce other delicacies

"This plate is the fruit wood roast duck I prepared in advance. It tastes very good. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes even better when paired with the thin, fragrant and soft crust, vegetables and sauce."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of duck meat with puff pastry, wrapped it in a soft, glutinous pancake with residual warmth, and added vegetables and sauces.Carefully rolled it up and handed it to Lantiere, who looked at the roast duck with a curious expression.

Lantiere, took a bite of the roast duck wrapped in the crust and said

"Well, it tastes good. Wrapped in a glutinous pancake, it neutralizes the greasyness of the roast duck and highlights the richness of the duck."

Everyone looked at Lantiere who felt good after eating the roast duck, and also learned to wrap the roast duck with the pie crust.

Looking at the people who were full of wine and food, Li Muyan filled a bowl of clear and fragrant chicken soup and handed it to Lantiere.

Sipping the delicious and rich chicken soup, Lantier looked up at the blue sky.He exhaled lightly, his eyes full of comfort.

After lunch, everyone sat around and chatted happily.

Mooney took a sip of the juice and suggested

"Recently, a new hot spring hotel opened in the east of Fore. It's rare for everyone to come to Fore, do you want to go there for a hot spring? It's fun?"

Picking up a piece of peeled orange meat and feeding it to Rococo, Lantiere, who has never been in a hot spring, asked curiously

"Hot spring? What is a hot spring?"

With a faint smile on his face, Mooney explained Lantierre's doubts and said

"Hot spring is a kind of spring water. Strictly speaking, it is a natural water source gushing from the ground. The annual temperature is around 45 degrees. All the substances in the hot spring are good for the body. Long-term soaking in the hot spring can relieve fatigue. The skin is also very good. Moreover, hot springs can also delay aging; relax tendons, activate blood circulation, and relieve pain. If it is a medicinal hot spring, it can certainly treat some physical diseases."

Watching everyone stop what they were doing, waiting intently for him to continue introducing the hot spring, Mooney pursed his lips lightly and said

"And that hot spring hotel, there are waterfall baths, various open-air hot springs and forest-like hot springs. The scenery is very beautiful."

After finishing speaking, Mooney looked at Li Muyan with a faint smile and said,

"By the way, this hot spring originated in Ning'an. I didn't know that there are many hot spring hotels in Ning'an."

Putting down the tea cup he was taking a sip of, Li Muyan lowered his head and said

"Yes, we are in Ning'an because of the terrain. There are indeed many places where you can soak in hot springs."

After listening to Mooney's introduction to the hot spring hotel, Rococo's eyes seemed to be shining like stars, and he looked at Lantierre with excitement, and said as if asking for advice

"Wow! Hearing what Brother Mooney said already feels great!"

Saying that, Rococo held Lantiere's wrist and shook it slightly, coquettishly said

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go to the hot spring, Lantierre!"

With a doting face, he raised his hand to caress Rococo's hair, Lantiere looked at the excited expressions on everyone's faces, nodded slightly and said

"I'm also curious about the hot springs. Since we're here in Fore, let's go take a dip in the hot springs together. To relieve the fatigue of the past few days."

Hearing that Lantiere agreed to this hot spring trip, Natsu and Carter jumped up happily.

Seeing everyone happy, Daniel looked at Fran beside him with a gentle face and said

"Let's go too, it happens that soaking in hot springs is also good for your legs."

Fran smiled lightly.

"it is good."

It took less than half an hour to arrive in front of the bustling hot spring hotel.At the entrance of the hot spring hotel, people from all races and appearances gathered together and chatted happily.Looking at the wooden building in front of the hotel that only belongs to Ning'an, and the handmade lanterns of various colors hanging on the door beam.Let everyone feel as if they are in a peaceful, antique environment.

Before everyone could recover from the unique environment of the building, the wooden door of the hotel was opened from the inside out.A woman with white hair and horns, wearing a long-sleeved skirt unique to Ning'an, with a gentle face.Seeing the people standing at the door, about 30 years old, slender and well-maintained, they smiled lightly, and glanced at the rumored prince of Fore who had finally returned home, and they knew the identity of the person. It must be extraordinary, said lightly

"Welcome all distinguished guests."

Looking at the somewhat familiar-looking woman with white hair and ram horns, Lantiere curled up her lips lightly, smiling meaningfully.

Talking about the lady boss with white hair and horns, get out of the way.Bring a few people into the hot spring hotel, and then introduce the characteristic roads in the hotel

"As you can see, our hot spring hotel is built exactly according to the hot spring environment in Ning'an. We have fruit hot springs, medicinal bath hot springs, petal hot springs, and milk hot springs."

Saying that, the proprietress squinted and smiled meaningfully.

"We also have unique waterfall hot springs and small fish hot springs. You will find it very interesting later."

Following the proprietress, walking slowly in the hot spring hotel with beautiful scenery, the mood also makes people feel instantly comfortable and relaxed.

Walking to the middle of the hotel, there are dark blue curtains hanging on the left and right sides of the men's and women's rooms, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, the proprietress narrowed her eyes slightly, took the bathrobe handed over by the waiter, and said to everyone

"Ladies and gentlemen, the left and right are the hot springs for men and women respectively..."

Halfway through the talk, the proprietress handed out bathrobes to everyone.

"Everyone, change into your bathrobe first. The way to wear it is that the right side of the front is down and the left side is up. The belt around the waist must be knotted on the right side of the waist, and the clogs should be changed. Women must wrap it tightly."

Rococo tilted his head slightly, and asked the proprietress innocently:

"Why do you say that women should wear tighter bathrobes?"

As if realizing something, Lantiere couldn't help looking away at Rococo, and his face was blushing unknowingly.

The proprietress had no deep meaning, looked at Rococo, the only woman in the crowd, and continued with a smirk

"It's very simple, because all distinguished guests, regardless of gender, bathe naked when taking a hot spring."

Hearing the two words of naked bath, everyone was surprised from ear to ear.

Especially Rococo, glanced at Lantiere and lowered his head, covering his face shyly.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, the proprietress continued calmly

"Don't worry, everyone. Except for the separate hot springs for men and women, the hot springs where everyone soaks together will distribute a bath towel to everyone. So you don't have to worry about exposure."

Everyone was either embarrassed, or shy and uncomfortable, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone was about to enter the dressing room with their bathrobes to soak in the hot springs, the proprietress added with a coquettish smirk:

"By the way, men, after changing into your bathrobe, you should show your chest!"

Speaking of exposing their chests, Natsu and Carter instinctively covered their chests with shocked faces.Seeing the stupid behavior of the two, Wall and Mu looked contemptuous, and pulled their hands from covering their chests.A slap to the back of the head of the two of them.

Just as everyone was holding bathrobes and was about to enter the locker room, a white-haired young man with horns approached from far to near. Seeing the light-blond haired Lantier among the crowd, he approached happily and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Haha, it's only been a few days since we met again, thank you for the candy last time, it's delicious!"

After finishing talking, the boy with white hair and horns narrowed his eyes and looked at the proprietress beside him and said

"Mother, he is the one I said last time to give me delicious candy, he is so good!"

With a doting face and a faint smile, she lightly stroked the top of the horned boy's hair, and the proprietress looked at Lantiel with a grateful expression and said,

"Thank you very much for the candy this nobleman gave my son last time."

The proprietress said respectfully and gratefully.

"I've heard for a long time that you helped us, Fore, to avoid disaster twice. So this time, I will help you to pay for the food that everyone eats here. It is a thank you for everyone's help for Fore."

It feels bad to refuse, Lantiere said with a light smile

"Then I would like to thank the lady boss."

Listening to the incident more than ten days ago, Daniel not only frowned, but Fran on the side looked comforting and held Daniel's palm tightly.

After changing her clothes, Lantiere was naked and wrapped in a bath towel.Looking at the simple, but exquisitely decorated, hot spring pool in front of you with warm steam.Narrowing his eyes slightly, Carter and Naz were playing happily like children as they rushed into the large hot spring pool in advance.Shaking his head lightly, Lantiere walked slowly into the warm hot spring pool.Narrowing his eyes slightly, while soaking in the warm hot spring, Lantiere closed his eyes lightly, pursed his lips slightly, with a look of contentment on his face.

Seeing the water beside him, Lige, who felt very kind, was excited, ran and jumped, and plunged into the warm hot spring water.The moment Lige entered the hot spring water, the light blue fins, ears and beautifully shaped fish tail appeared.Feeling the refreshing hot spring water, I narrowed my eyes and smiled happily

"Wow! So comfortable!"

Just as everyone was soaking in the hot spring contentedly, the next moment, the ground shook violently like an earthquake. Babur, who had changed his clothes, was very excited and rushed towards the crowd.In the shock of everyone, Babur suddenly jumped up, and jumped into the hot spring water with a sprint. In the next moment, the hot spring water entered by Babur's burly and tall figure was like a huge wave. Large chunks spread out.

Seeing everyone's heads splashed with water, their faces were full of embarrassment.Bubber raised his head and laughed naively.

Seeing the instigator of the water splashing incident laugh heartlessly, Carter and Naz were furious, and before Bubber could react, they pressed his head into the hot spring water.

Taking the towel handed by Lan Nuo to wipe off the splash on his face, Lantiere looked at the laughing crowd, narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly.

dinner time

Ten people finished soaking in all the hot springs of the hot spring hotel, and sat comfortably in the main hall looking at the quaint and beautiful night view of the hot spring hotel, playing or playing.

Seeing everyone's relaxed expressions, they opened the door to the hall. The proprietress and the young man with white hair and horns ordered his servants to arrange a delicious dinner with the characteristics of a hot spring hotel.

Each person has a seat, and the five on the left are sitting on the opposite side.Everyone looked curiously at the delicate and delicious meat and seafood served, swallowing their saliva one after another and feasting on it.

While everyone was having a delicious dinner, the white-haired young man with ram horns also held a small table and approached Lantiere under the table. He scratched his head and introduced himself.

"Hey hey, I haven't introduced myself yet, that...my name is Luno."

Gently put down the tableware, Lantiere introduced himself with a smile

"My name is Lantiere."

Speaking of which, Lantierre introduced the humanity that came with him one after another.

"Beside me is Li Muyan from Ning'an, my lover Rococo, my friend Yuren Lige, the burly and tall Babur, and Mu and Youze who are also from Ning'an. And the twin brothers Wall and Carter from the elves and Lanno, the wheat-skinned Natsu."

After listening to Lantiere's introduction to his friends, Lu Nuo approached Lige curiously and looked around, the expressions in his eyes seemed to spark with excitement.

Being watched so intently, Lige was so frightened that he instinctively ran to hide behind Lantiere, poked his head out and looked at Lu Nuo who was looking at him with the same curiosity.

Looking at Li Ge with a cowardly face, Lu Nuo happily approached and said

"Wow! Are you really a mermaid? I always heard from my mother who often went to Ning'an that Ning'an has all kinds of magical creatures. I really want to see your fish tail."

Saying that, Lu Nuo shook Li Ge's hand innocently and said

"Come on! Come on! Show me a fishtail! I really want to see it!"

Letting go of Lu Nuo's hand holding his arm, Lige clung behind Lantiere and whispered

"Only in the water can I show the fish tail... not now."

Hearing that he could only see it in the water, Lu Nuo, who was looking forward to it, lowered his head and said sadly.

"...Okay, I really want to see it..."

Looking at the sad Lu Nuo, Lantiere gently touched the top of Lu Nuo's hair and comforted him

"You can also come with us when you take a hot spring tomorrow, so you can see it."

Lu Nuo, who had a sad face, suddenly became happy after hearing Lantierre's words, narrowed his eyes and smiled happily and said,

"It's great!!"
