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

"ah!"

Realizing she had let something slip, Farusan looked slightly flustered.

However, after glancing at Chao Ke sitting beside her, Farusan instantly felt safe.

His expression returned to normal, and he nodded directly, admitting it.

“That’s right, I was indeed a scholar of the Sumeru Academy a hundred years ago.”

"It's...it really is like that..."

Because of Faroshan's academic background, Azalay did not doubt the veracity of Faroshan's claims.

Moreover, the land of Sumeru is vast, with a rich culture and diverse ethnic groups. Even in the desert, there are rumors about immortal beings.

For example, the race under the Red King, the Barogashuna, is said to be a long-lived race, with its members having relatively long lifespans.

Azaleh's wife, however, had a somewhat subtle and awkward expression at that moment.

At this moment, she finally understood why Farusan had that expression when she called herself her older sister.

The awkward and subtle expression wouldn't disappear, it would only shift; now, it was her turn to be awkward.

But perhaps it was a woman's innate love of beauty that overcame her inner embarrassment.

After much deliberation, Azalai's wife asked Farusan.

"Excuse me... um... ma'am...?"

"Oh no! That's not right! Sister, yes! Sister!"

"Sister, how do you maintain your youthful and beautiful appearance even after a hundred years?"

Farusian was quite taken aback by this address of "old lady," and even Chao Ke couldn't hold back and burst into loud, unrestrained laughter.

"Do not laugh!"

"Senior Falushan said angrily, and even secretly reached her little hand into Chao Ke's waist, wanting to give Chao Ke a soft pinch."

But... Chao Ke's physical strength once again exceeded her expectations.

She tried to pinch him, but couldn't get it to move.

Like pinching!

In the past, perhaps Senior Farusan would have given up at that point.

But at that moment, she had drunk some.

The senior, under the influence of alcohol, is now more emotional and less rational.

He grabbed Chao Ke's arm and put it to his mouth.

Farusan had intended to bite hard and teach Chao Ke a lesson.

However, after Farusan's white teeth touched Chao Ke's skin, she suddenly felt reluctant to actually bite him and hurt him. Instead, she gently touched him and then removed Chao Ke's arm.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"understood!"

"Will you dare to laugh at me again in the future?"

"I won't do it again (I'll do it again next time)."

"Hmph! That's more like it!"

Senior Falushan crossed her arms haughtily and answered Chao Ke.

After dealing with the "rude" junior, Chao Ke, Farusan turned her attention to Azalai's wife.

She hasn't answered her question yet.

After thinking for a moment, Farusan spoke to Azalai's wife.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer your question about maintenance."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, but my situation is extremely special. I am neither an immortal being nor do I have any secret methods to preserve my youth."

"The reason I have a life spanning a century is entirely due to a mistake during an exploration..."

Farusan calmly recounted her story, but after listening, the Azalay couple suddenly stood up simultaneously.

Facing the figure of Farusan, he performed a very classical kneeling ceremony in perfect order.

Farusan was startled and immediately got up, trying to pull the Azalais up from the ground.

But Azalai quickly stopped Farusan and explained.

“Messenger of Farusan, please do not refuse our worship.”

"You have received the power of our god, the Crimson King. According to our doctrine, you are already a divine messenger in our faith. Please accept our respect."

Farusan looked at Chao Ke helplessly; she hadn't expected things to take such a turn.

Chao Ke shrugged.

Chao Ke never expected that the encounters Falushan had while exploring the ruins of the Red King's civilization would be treated as divine messengers by the Red King's descendants.

Chapter 201 Ice Armor

Fortunately, the Azalé couple's pilgrimage did not last long.

The couple, now standing up, were no longer as humble as they had been during their pilgrimage, but their gazes toward Farusan held a newfound reverence.

Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh at the level of faith among the Red King's descendants in Aru Village.

Even though the era of the Red King has passed for thousands of years, there are still remnants who are willing to fulfill their former obligations as subjects in accordance with the teachings of the past.

Whether this belief passed down through generations is correct is difficult for Chao Ke to judge.

But this legacy truly moved Chao Ke.

Yes, Aru Village is the last place of refuge for the remnants of the Red King.

As long as this village still exists, and as long as these remnants of the civilization have not died out, then the flame of the Red King civilization will not be extinguished.

...

At night, Chao Ke carried the drunken senior, Falushan, to the bed and gently placed her on the bed. He then removed her clothes so that she could sleep comfortably.

Seeing that his senior was already drunk and unconscious, Chao Ke did not try to test Farusan in this state.

Instead, after settling them in, he opened the guest room window and jumped out.

Throughout their "honeymoon trip," it was always Farusan who took care of Chao Ke, making him feel like a king and being served comfortably.

But love is never a one-sided affair.

Even though Chao Ke understood that Senior Falushan did all this without expecting anything in return.

But how could Chao Ke not express his gratitude to his senior, Falushan, who had used all of her project allowance to take him on his honeymoon?

A gift from a hundred years ago, also transcending time, for our predecessors.

Moreover, there's that mechanical life form, Tamimi, who carries the [Regeneration Mechanism].

Its condition was already quite dangerous; digging it out sooner would help end its overload and get it repaired quickly...

Chao Ke was actually extremely optimistic about the repair of Tamimi.

This time, she was rescued much earlier than in the main storyline, so Tamimi's condition should be better.

Besides, with Chao Ke around, how could he let Senior Falushan fight alone?

If the senior cannot repair it to its original state by himself, then go and call for help.

Whether it's the True Lord of Clouds and Wind, the Old Master Zhongli who "knows a thing or two" about everything, or the magical Teacher Abedo.

If all else fails, wait for Chao Ke to survive a little longer before going to meet that "Golden" Reindort.

Chao Ke did not believe that maintaining this kind of "regeneration mechanism" would be difficult in the face of that person's "alchemy".

.....

The desert under the moonlight was exceptionally cool and peaceful.

Each grain of sand, reflecting a silvery-white light, looked somewhat like silvery-white ocean waves to Chao Ke, who was running wildly through the area.

For no apparent reason, a sentence popped into Chao Ke's mind.

The steadfast mountain range is like a vast ocean that has surged through geological eras.

As Chao Ke's figure receded further and further from Aru Village, the surrounding wind began to stir up dust and gradually became noisy.

After all, Huang Mao hasn't arrived in Xumi yet, and the sandstorms raging here haven't improved.

However, it is precisely this arduous exploration environment that has resulted in the relatively well-preserved relics on this land.

Chao Ke had some recollection of the place where Tamimi was discovered in the story; it was in the upper right corner of the Hill of Abundant Drinking, not far from a lake.

Following the direction of memory, Chao Ke continued to move forward.

At this moment, the storm surrounding Chao Ke had become so intense that it was difficult for ordinary people to set foot there.

Chao Ke stopped and manipulated the elemental powers of water and ice in the desert to forge himself an exceptionally sturdy set of ice armor.

The reason Chao Ke spent so much effort crafting this armor was not to protect his own body, but to protect the clothes he was wearing.

After all, with Chao Ke's current abnormally strong physique, even if he were thrown into the area with the strongest tearing force in a storm, it would only be like scratching an itch.

However, Chao Ke's clothes were not so lucky.

It is likely that the moment it enters a sandstorm, it will be torn into various strips of cloth and dispersed in the wind.

Chao Ke had no intention of rushing back to Aru Village, and besides, it would be difficult to buy suitable clothes in Aru Village in a short time.

Therefore, Chao Ke had a set of ice armor custom-made for him to wear in order to cross the sandstorm.

Relying on his exceptionally sturdy ice armor, Chao Ke braved the sand and pebbles of the sandstorm and began his exploration of the ruins...

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

The next day.

As Farusan slowly awoke, she glanced at the neatly arranged state of her lower body and fell into deep thought...
