How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"No, no, I..."

Xingyun quickly waved her hand.

"Then sit down and wait patiently."

Hongli smiled gently and patted Xiaohuo's head: "Take good care of Aunt Xiaoyun, okay? You're part of the family too."

"Yes, Mom, don't worry!"

Xiao Huo didn't think too much about it and said confidently, "Xiao Huo will definitely not let Aunt Xingyun feel neglected!"

"Hey, you're such a good girl. Mommy has been spoiling you all this time."

Hong Li smiled and turned to walk into the newly renovated kitchen: "Xiao Yun, you can rest there for a while. Today I'll show you my cooking skills. I guarantee it'll be so delicious you'll roll your eyes!"

"Ah this..."

"Xiao Huo, get Aunt Xingyun a cup of papaya milk!"

"it is good!"

"No, no need..."

"boom."

The kitchen door was tightly closed. Hong Li turned around, staring blankly at the various kitchen utensils she had just bought and which were still unopened. She took a deep breath and her face turned murderous.

"Since Hei Yang can get here in three days, why can't I master a good cooking skill in three days?"

That's right, Hong Li is just trying to cram at the last minute, even if it's slow, it'll still be effective!

Taking down Hei Yang's stomach within three days is what we generally call a person who...

"Believe in yourself, I am a genius chef!"

Hongli felt a determination creeping up her spine.

I got my comeuppance for opening champagne at halftime, sob sob sob.

Well, I was thinking that the results of whether the recommendation would continue would be out on Friday, and the release would also be on Friday. Ah, this combination is just perfect.

As a result, the editor said that the recommendation has been continued. Keep it up, it will be available next Friday!

Me, emmm, isn't it this Friday?

Wow, charging for recommendations will scare readers away.

So... next Friday is also Friday... right?

I was thinking that if it goes on sale tomorrow, I can release the climax all at once, wow, how awesome would that be?

Then they tell me that the foreplay wasn't over yet, and that I ( ) too fast, which is premature, waaaaah...

It's about to be released, and the recommendations have continued. These are clearly two good things, and two good things combined should ideally be...

cough cough...

Some people are laughing out loud in front of their screens, while others are dumbfounded in front of their keyboards, sobbing...

Ha, crickets can't defeat me! Because I was already lying on the ground (crossed out), because I have a strong will and a diligent character! Yes, that's it!

Chapter 108: Flesh and Blood Assembly, Biochemical Experiments, Explosives Manufacturing, and Alchemy

At a small round table, Xingyun sat obediently, a little nervous on her face. Her legs were pressed tightly together, her hands were clasped in front of her lower abdomen, and she stared straight ahead with a stiff smile.

"Auntie Xiaoyun~"

Little Fire, carrying a cup of papaya milk on its back, flew steadily without spilling a drop. It landed gently on the table, and the milk slid off its back, only to be caught precisely by its wing. It then stretched out its wing and placed the cup in front of Xingyun.

"Aunt Xiaoyun, your milk has arrived, you can drink it now!"

"Oh, um, thank you, Little Fire."

Xingyun said shyly, "But Auntie said there's no need to be so polite, and you don't need to pour the milk yourself, you're still so young..."

"How can that be possible!"

Xiao Huo, head held high and chest puffed out, said with a smug look on his face, "I wanted to make Aunt Xiao Yun feel right at home. How about that? Did I do a good job?"

"No, not bad... great!"

Xingyun chuckled and took a sip of milk, her brows furrowing slightly involuntarily. However, she quickly realized what she was doing and, before Xiao Huo could even ask a question, hurriedly explained.

"No, the milk is delicious. It's just that I'm not used to sweet foods. It's my problem, not the low heat's fault!"

"Eh? You don't like sweet things..."

Xiao Huo tilted her head, then suddenly realized something: "So, that's why Aunt Xiao Yun asked Mom to bring back so many bitter-tasting snacks last time?"

"That's not a snack."

Xingyun held up a finger and corrected her with a smile, "That's Aunt Xiaoyun's source of motivation. If she doesn't endure hardship for a while, she'll feel completely unmotivated..."

"Hmm, I don't quite understand, but never mind..."

Xiao Huo shook his head, looked at the closed kitchen door, and asked curiously, "I wonder what Mom's cooking tastes like, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, or salty?"

"Well……"

Xingyun followed Xiao Huo's gaze and instinctively shuddered. She twitched her nose slightly, as if she could smell a faint scent of blood, and a hint of panic appeared on her face: "I feel that the food that Senior Sister Hongli makes might not be adequately described with ordinary culinary terms..."

"Ah?"

Xiao Huo looked puzzled. "It's just cooking a dish, what's the big deal?"

Her bloodline contains many primitive hunting methods, and there are even bloody scenes of eating.

She's seen so many terrifying scenes, how could her mother's cooking be any more horrifying?

Hehe, impossible, absolutely impossible!

……

The scene shifts, and your little cutie suddenly appears!

Cough cough... I don't seem to look too cute right now.

The kitchen reeked of blood, and a terrifying creature covered in pigeon feathers stood with its back to the camera.

The murder weapon in his hand was still dripping blood, and with the movements of the pigeon-feather monster, it kept slamming against the cutting board, causing flesh to fly and blood to splatter everywhere...

"Damn it!"

With bloodshot eyes, Hong Li gritted her teeth and stared at the cutting board as if it were her enemy. The pieces of meat on it were not only bloody, but also had a lot of hair that had not been plucked!

"Why, why do we have to process the ingredients after we've already got them?"

"Can't these pigeons just be a little more sensible and grow into a shape that's safe to eat?"

Hong Li frantically ran her fingers through her hair, plucked a handful of pigeon feathers, and instantly set them on fire to destroy the evidence!

"Although, but, why do I feel like cooking isn't supposed to be like this!"

Hongli frowned, looked up at the ceiling, and wondered how her mother in her hometown usually cooked.

Hmm, Mom's cooking movements are so pleasing to the eye, but why is it that when she cooks...

As expected of Hong Li, she turned a murder scene into something resembling a cooking demonstration.

"No, no, we need to have confidence!"

Hong Li quickly shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts. Being cowardly before even engaging in battle was a major taboo.

"I'm a beginner, so it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable at first."

My mom must have cooked for many years to be able to cook to that level!

I shouldn't set my standards so high all at once. I should set a small goal first, like...

Hong Li's gaze darkened: "Should we disguise the murder scene as a cooking scene first?"

Pshaw! What a load of rubbish, she's clearly cooking!

"Phew, calm down, don't be impatient!"

Hong Li took a deep breath, forcibly adjusting her emotions. Looking at the pile of corpses beside her... ugh, at the sufficient amount of food beside her, she nodded and resolved to climb back onto the spine.

"Hmm, first step completed... Success!"

"After that……"

Hongli rubbed her temples: "Think about what Mom would do. Hmm, she would probably wash these ingredients with water first. But are the pigeon feathers on them really okay?"

Hmm, it should be fine. She's a beginner, you can't expect too much! Yes, that's right!

Water elemental energy surged, washing away bloodstains and impurities, and then something like, how was it again?

Blanching? How do I do that?

Oh well, it should be fine if I don't blanch it, it's not a big problem, I'll just leave it at that!

"I refuse to believe I'm that well-prepared..."

Hongli looked at the bottles and jars laid out in front of her: refined salt, vinegar, soy sauce, cooking wine...
