[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

The sunset, the beach, and Fufu's long, slender, white legs (they look so delicious...) are incredibly dazzling in the sunset.

This beautiful scene made Chao Ke stand there for a long time.

However, Funina, who was being watched by Chao Ke, was clearly not so calm.

"What to do, what to do..."

"Why is that group of fools still standing there behind me?"

"I've heard that the Fatui have become increasingly ruthless in recent years. Could he... possibly target me... and do something that offends the gods...?"

"..."

But nearly five hundred years of performances have already etched the divine essence of performance into Fufu's very being.

Even though I was feeling incredibly panicked, I tried my best to control my body and not let those emotions show.

However, this level of concealment might fool others, but it clearly cannot escape Chao Ke's keen observation.

Seeing Fufu's uneasy little movements as she secretly observed him, Chao Ke also felt playful.

He stood silently behind Funina, his head bowed, as if he were considering something.

When Fu Ningna secretly glanced at Chao Ke behind her and saw his posture, she became even more hesitant to make any rash moves.

Controlling her already numb legs, she continued to maintain the squatting position, afraid that the slightest change in her posture would trigger a chain reaction from Chao Ke.

As time goes by.

Standing on the beach, Chao Ke watched the sunset gradually sink into the sea, and also saw that Fu Fu's fair and tender legs had begun to tremble slightly.

Chao Ke knew that the time was almost up, and if he waited a few more minutes, Fu Fu might really not be able to hold on any longer.

Finally, amidst Funina's anticipation, Chao Ke took his first steps.

However, Chao Ke's footsteps did not recede; instead, they drew closer and closer to her.

Until Chao Ke placed his hand on her shoulder.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Funina's voice was already somewhat unsteady at this point. Perhaps the only thing that had kept her going until now was her belief in maintaining the dignity of the water goddess.

“Miss Funina, please don’t be nervous, I mean no harm.”

"Let me introduce myself. Besides my identity as a member of the Fools, I also own a business in Fontainebleau, namely the [Delicious Taste Restaurant]."

As he spoke, Chao Ke reached into his pocket, pulled out a gold VIP card, and handed it to Funina.

"Welcome, Ms. Funina, to our restaurant for your tasting."

"Huh? Is that...that's all?"

"Otherwise, does Miss Funina perhaps want me to do something 'outrageous'?"

"Hmph! I bet you wouldn't dare challenge the authority of the gods!"

After learning that Chao Ke meant no harm, Fu Fu felt much more at ease and spoke with a lighter tone.

"Oh?"

Chao Ke smiled and reached out to brush aside the tuft of hair sticking up on Funina's head.

"Hey! Take your hand off! This is disrespectful to the gods!"

Fufu shook her head, dodging Chao Ke's "big brother hand".

"How could I be disrespectful to you? I just noticed some sand in your hair and wanted to comb it for you."

Chao Ke explained with a smile.

"By the way, Miss Funina, your shoes are also covered in a lot of sand and dust. I suggest you stomp your feet a few times to shake them off."

"Oh."

Funina didn't think much of it; after all, maintaining the image of a water goddess meant that cleanliness was essential.

So, Fufu, who had just stood up, took a step with her right foot and stomped hard on the ground, guided by Chao Ke's words.

A sly smile of triumph crept across Chao Ke's lips.

"Ah~~~~!"

Funina let out a groan.

Her legs had gone numb from squatting on the ground for so long.

Just now, prompted by Chao Ke's words, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground...

The tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body, and even Funina couldn't help but cry out.

"Haha."

Chao Ke laughed wildly.

Funina is actually quite smart, just a little silly...

Under Fu Ningna's angry gaze, Chao Ke gently stroked her forehead and spoke softly.

"It's almost over, just bear with it for a little longer..."

"If you want to confide in someone outside of this, you can come to [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] to find me."

Having said that, Chao Ke stopped bothering Funina, turned around, and with a few leaps, left the beach.

Only Funina was left standing there, stunned.

"It's almost over..."

"Is it what I think it means...? How did he, a member of the Fatui, know this information...?"

Take out the VIP card for the [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] that Chao Ke gave her, and Funina hesitated.

I was going to just throw it away or toss it into some corner of the room, but now it seems...

Perhaps we could go and take a look.

------------------

Buffati Mansion.

Arecino opened a fairy tale book and, in a gentle tone, began to tell fairy tales to the young children.

But deep down, she was thinking of Chao Ke.

"Judging by the time, it should be time for him to come back. Did he go somewhere to clear his head...?"

The servants have already given a brief explanation of today's mission details through special channels.

Chao Ke told her about Marcel and then combined that with the details of the mission.

She roughly guessed that Chao Ke was probably feeling somewhat frustrated.

Fortunately, the result was still quite good.

The younger brother must have used his secret ability to heal all the residents.

It seems unlikely that he'll have any major emotional problems; he'll probably be able to calm down after a short break.

Just as Arecino had predicted, as the children were mostly asleep and she closed the storybook, Chao Ke appeared at the door.

"came back?"

"Ah."

Arecino was initially pleased, but when she approached Chao Ke, her brows furrowed slightly.

Chao Ke had a faint scent of women's perfume on him.

As intelligence personnel, both Arecino herself and those serving in the field.

To avoid leaving any trace of scent, people never use perfume, and some even deliberately try to erase their own scent.

So, it's quite obvious that Chao Ke's body smelled of someone, indicating that he had been in contact with a woman for quite some time.

Thinking of this, Arecino tugged at Chao Ke's sleeve.

"Come on, let's go to my office."

Chapter 127 [The First Food Competition of the Fontaine Catering Industry Alliance]

(Regarding the sister's name, I will try to use only one name per chapter, either all of them are Arecino, or all of them are Peruvéri.)

(If this chapter mainly focuses on conversations with family, I'll use Péruvelli; if it mainly focuses on conversations with outsiders, I'll use Arecino.)

The following is the main text.

------------------

"hiss!"

"Gently...gently!"

"Sis, your skin is too dry. Why don't you put some oil on?"

"..."

"Sis! Don't go straight up and down like that. Try stopping in one place and circling around; it'll be more comfortable for me..."

"..."

In Peruvieri's office, Peruvieri is on top, while Asako is below her sister.

Chao Ke closed his eyes, enjoying the head massage from his sister.

However, it was clear that Peruvieri's massage skills were not as good as Chao Ke's. Only after Chao Ke repeatedly reminded her did she gradually get into the swing of things.

After all, it was always Chao Ke who massaged her, and the number of times she massaged Chao Ke was extremely rare, if not negligible.

Therefore, my skills have become a bit rusty.

Of course, this did not prevent Chao Ke from enjoying the massage process.

Peruvieri first placed her long fingers on the midpoint between Chao Ke's eyebrows, then pushed them upwards to her hairline, repeating this several times.

Then, using the pads of both thumbs, he pushed Chao Ke's eyebrows from the center to the outer corner several times.
