To the eternal you

Shortly after--

Yan Xiao rubbed his head in a daze and came out, glanced at the boss and then at the shopkeeper, which made Huai'an laugh out loud.

"Look at your dumbfounded look. With that knife in your hand, you're gone."

"No, no, why are you still talking about me, why shouldn't you let those two little girls in first?"

Yan Xiao is a thick-skinned guy who robbed the aisle in the early years and accidentally grabbed the boss, but was turned away on the spot and sent to Liyue. After being imprisoned for a while, the boss picked him up again and told him to be the cook.

I have been doing this for more than ten years, and I am quite happy, so I basically have a feeling of gratitude for the boss and the shopkeeper.

"But didn't they convince you?"

Philgodette looked at the door of the kitchen with great interest, imagining whether the child was holding a chair to light a fire for cooking or begging her sister to hug her to cook.

"This... It wasn't just yesterday that I was haunted by ghosts. I couldn't cook while sitting in it, and my hands were still shaking. And they also said that they would help me exorcise ghosts. I thought, since they want to try, then try it. Heck! It doesn’t matter if you borrow them successfully.”

But now it was very quiet inside, not like the ordinary alchemists dancing swords and sticking talismans, making a lot of noise.

"It's good that there is no conflict. I thought you would stick to the kitchen and not let them in."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Boss, the shopkeeper in Huai'an is teasing me again, you have to help me reason!"

Yan Xiao has no culture, and he can't be called the shopkeeper who has attended a private school, so at this time, he will call the boss to help him reason.

"He was afraid that you would quarrel with those two nobles, but I think you would be willing to withdraw, so he let them in."

Phil Godet put down the abacus in her hand and said helplessly.

"By the way, did they ask you about the rumors?"

"Yes, but I didn't tell them. I only said that apart from the young lovers, the pavilion is also very handsome, and the not-too-tall guy will shine in the moonlight there."

"Uh..." the shopkeeper Huai An hesitated to speak.

"Ahem, to be honest, since you are free and have nothing to do, help me go downstairs and bring up the goods you just purchased. It also happens to shine in the sun."

"Oh, okay."

Yan Xiao responded, and then walked out with a grin, just about to take the water ladder down, and then suddenly remembered that it was messed up, and then his face turned pale.

Going down from here and then transporting up, the effort of this afternoon can be spent in it. Could it be that I said something wrong and offended the boss?

——The girl is cooking——

"Grumble~"

Paimon imitated the steaming boiler and made that bubbling sound.

Ying, on the other hand, looked at the aggrieved little ghost sister with doubts on her face.

"Why are you frightening that laughing chef?"

"Xiao Ming just wanted to play with him...Who knew that the uncle ran out in fright when he saw Xiao Ming, without any time to explain..."

"Children like her are very lonely, and the past is mostly tortuous, so they will linger in the place they were obsessed with during their lifetime, and they are reluctant to leave for a long time."

Qi, who was about the same age as Xiao Ming, gently touched the other person's head and rubbed it slowly. Maybe it was a long time since he had met someone who cared about him so much. Xiao Ming wept and kept apologizing.

Even Paimon got rid of the temptation of food for a while, and flew over worriedly to look at the two cubs.

"So Xiao Ming just wants someone to play with her, right?"

"Yin and yang are in order, and humans and ghosts are separated. If you step into the other party's world without authorization, you will only be contaminated with yin qi with an ordinary person's physique, and the yang qi in your body will be out of balance, and you will suffer from illness."

At the same time, a very cold boy's voice came from the attic.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Ming also hurriedly hid behind Qi, looking at him pitifully.

When everyone saw their faces clearly, even Paimon couldn't help but covered his mouth and said in surprise, "Are you the not-so-tall guy that Yan Xiao said?"

"Pimon, don't delete the handsome man! There is such a disrespect!"

Ying subconsciously complained, then imitated Liyue's style, cupped her hands and said in embarrassment.

"Well, your lord has a lot of demons, please forgive my companion for being outspoken for a while, she didn't say that on purpose!"

"Hmph, in the past, both you and her would have been accused of disrespecting the immortal teacher, but today she is present, so it is inconvenient to punish her, and it will not be an example."

The handsome young man approached a little closer, with his hands folded across his chest. On his right arm, there was still a yaksha face tattoo, and the golden and black wrist armor was inlaid with the eyes of gods. On his waist was a dharma protector yaksha face. Shining light.

"Hello, Great Sage Conquering Demons. I am the True Monarch of Fusheng Prayer. I have heard about the great sage's reputation for a long time. I came here to pay a special visit today. If the great sage doesn't mind, just call me to pray."

"Pray... that's fine, you can just call me Mandrill."

Paimon hid behind the traveler and said quietly.

"Suddenly I met him face to face, and I didn't know what to say..."

"Quiet, wait for Qi to play."

Gently pinching Paimon's little butt, Ying silently stood behind Qi, waiting for the two to finish their conversation.

Xiao Ming took the opportunity to leave. Before leaving, she glanced worriedly at the kind-hearted sister, but knowing that she might not be able to deal with it when she was there, she obediently ran to the pavilion.

"I visited today and didn't bring too many presents, but I heard that brother Mandrill has done a lot of research on almond tofu, so I want to make one for you to taste."

In addition to calling out Xiao Ming, the girl also made an almond tofu. Thanks to the abundant raw materials here, it saved a lot of effort and could be ready soon.

The bowl of almond tofu she launched is a dessert made from almond pulp. It is exquisite in shape and has a creamy color. It has a unique smooth and sweet taste and a rich and long-lasting almond fragrance.

The white jade-like appearance is also drenched with golden yellow sweet syrup, and small pearls, large and small like rosary beads worn by mandrills, are arranged in a string around the outside, with a few green buds dotted among them, adding a bit of novelty.

Mandrill was silent for a while, then nodded, sat down on the chair and said, "...to trouble you."

The girl just smiled softly, waiting for him to taste, without urging.

When he took the first bite, there was a delicious taste far beyond his expectations. Although it was quite good from the appearance of the food, Mandrill was still moved.

Speeding up a little bit, the second spoonful, the third spoonful, and when it was the fourth spoonful, I was a little bit reluctant, but half of the bowl was gone, like a dream, I couldn’t notice it at the beginning, but when I woke up halfway, I realized that I was on the verge of Woke up, very sorry.

But after all, he is not someone who is obsessed with sweet dreams and does not want to wake up. After eating at a normal pace, he takes the handkerchief handed over by the other party, and looks at the pair of clear eyes and sweet smile that seem to be able to talk.

Mandrill's voice was not so cold, but nodded sincerely and praised.

"It's delicious, to me, it's comparable to Liyue Jinzi's signature dish."

"Great, Paimon thinks it's delicious~"

"If this is the case, we can invite the Great Sage Conquering Demons to go there together, and the mission will be considered complete!"

While waiting in fear, Ying and Paimeng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and clapped their hands in celebration.

Mandrill glanced at them, didn't say much, but reminisced about the wonderful taste that was hard-won. He didn't like sweets, but just liked the taste of almond tofu, which was very similar to his previous dream.

However, the girl in front of him, who was shorter than him, helped him to wash away the karma that entangled him many years ago, so that he would no longer be trapped in nightmares and ravings. In terms of kindness, he was second only to the emperor.

"What do you need me to do?"

"It's like this—"
