Douluo Continent: After their charm was maxed out, they became simps.

Chapter 42 Meeting the Princess, Xia Bai slapped her in the face...

The sun is high in the sky; today is another beautiful day.

Inside Tiandou City.

Yunzhige was a shop that specialized in providing pastries to the nobility.

The pastries inside are not only beautiful in appearance, but also delicious in taste, and are loved by the nobles of Tiandou.

Xia Bai stood quietly in front of the Yunzhi Pavilion counter, looking at the exquisite pastries inside.

"Um... sir! Would you like some dessert?"

The saleswoman was a girl wearing black stockings and with a pair of fox ears on her head.

She stared intently at the masked boy in front of her, and couldn't help but swallow.

Awesome! Absolutely so handsome!

She was a worldly person, having seen all sorts of romantic talents and royalty.

But compared to Xia Baiyi, it was an indescribable lump of something!

"You have cream, vanilla extract..."

Xia Bai listed a whole bunch of ingredients for making chocolate.

The saleswoman nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, as the guest just mentioned, Yunzhi Pavilion has everything."

Xia Bai was delighted to see this.

"Then prepare more for me!"

"Okay, please wait here for a moment."

After a while, the saleswoman came over carrying a large bag of things.

"Sir, this will cost 120 Gold Soul Coins in total. Will you be paying by card or cash?"

"Swipe your card!" Xia Bai pulled out a gold card and handed it to the cashier.

Do you have a dedicated kitchen for cooking?

After receiving the card back, Xia Bai asked.

His home lacks the necessary equipment to make chocolate.

"Well... our private kitchen is only accessible to members."

"Oh, I see!" Xia Bai felt a little disappointed upon seeing this.

It seems I'll have to go to the kitchen at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to see if they have the tools I need.

Just as Xia Bai was feeling down and preparing to return, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

"I'll rent a room for him!"

Xia Bai turned around after hearing the sound.

A girl with short, silver-white hair, an elegant demeanor, and exquisite features.

Upon closer inspection, she actually bears a striking resemblance to Xue Qinghe.

"Your Highness!"

Upon seeing the young woman before her, the saleswoman quickly performed a noble gesture.

Xue Ke gave a soft "hmm," turned her head to look at Xia Bai, and a blush flashed across her fair face.

From the moment Xia Bai appeared, her attention was completely focused on him.

As a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, she had seen all sorts of talented young men.

But someone as handsome as Xia Bai, with such an elegant demeanor...

This is the first time she's seen it!

Even her elder brother, Xue Qinghe, was far less powerful than a single hair on the head of the person in front of her.

So she's Xue Qinghe's younger sister, Xue Ke! No wonder she looks somewhat like Xue Qinghe.

"Thank you," Xia Bai said.

"No...no need!" Xue Ke's face flushed slightly, her fair hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and her chest pounded like a deer's.

"What kind of pastries do you... want to make?" Xueke asked, pursing her lips.

"I'm going to make chocolate," Xia Bai replied.

"Chocolate?" Xueke looked bewildered.

She had eaten all kinds of pastries, but this was the first time she had ever heard of a pastry with such a strange name as chocolate.

"Yes, food that has never appeared on this continent before," Xia Bai said with a smile.

"Then...can I watch you do it?" Xueke asked nervously.

"sure."

Xia Bai agreed without hesitation.

Someone kindly opened a kitchen for me, so how could I refuse?

Besides, she is Xue Qinghe's sister, so he has even less reason to refuse.

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that Xia Bai agreed, Xue Ke immediately smiled happily.

The two went upstairs to a room.

The room was large and had all kinds of tools.

Xia Bai first tied an apron on herself, then washed her hands to ensure hygiene.

The first step is to mix cocoa powder and cocoa butter together in a certain ratio, and then... (If you want to learn about chocolate making, you can search on Douyin.)

Xue Ke, standing beside Xia Bai, stared intently at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

A man who is serious is truly handsome!

When Xia Bai is serious, he's a total heartthrob; no girl can resist his charm.

As a princess of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Ke was no exception; she was deeply attracted by Xia Bai's charm.

After a while, Xia Bai took out a piece of freshly made chocolate.

"Try it."

Upon hearing Xia Bai's words, Xue Ke slowly came to her senses, her face immediately turning bright red.

"good!"

Xueke picked up a piece of chocolate with her fingers and put it in her mouth.

It melts in your mouth, leaving a lingering milky flavor on your tongue.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Xue Ke's eyes lit up.

She has eaten countless pastries and delicacies, and this chocolate is definitely in her top three.

Hearing Xue Ke's praise, Xia Bai nodded in satisfaction.

He also picked out a small piece to try.

"The taste is a bit off; there seems to be too much cream on top! We need to adjust it further!"

Xia Bai gave his comments and then began the second production.

He is a person who always strives for perfection.

Once he has discovered his own problem, he will work to solve it until he is satisfied.

Xue Ke, standing beside him, rested her chin on her hands, looking at Xia Bai with a happy expression.

Men who strive for perfection are so handsome!

After Master Xia spent the whole afternoon working, he finally created the perfect chocolate flavor!

"Xue Ke! Try this and see how it is!" Xia Bai happily picked up a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into Xue Ke's cherry-like mouth.

Ugh…

Xia Bai suddenly shoved a piece of chocolate into Xue Ke's mouth, and her face instantly turned bright red.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xia Bai looked at Xue Ke expectantly.

This chocolate was the one he was most satisfied with after all the adjustments he had made.

Xue Ke chewed gently for a while, her eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

"Mmm, delicious!"

"Okay, then let's use this flavor ratio to make the chocolate!" Xia Bai's face lit up with joy, and she began to make several batches of chocolate.

Besides making some for Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, he also planned to make several more to give away.

Meanwhile, Xue Ke was still engrossed in the scene of Xia Bai feeding her.

If only I could be fed by Xia Bai like this forever!

Xue Ke couldn't help but think this to herself.

After some time had passed.

Xia Bai made several batches of chocolates and packaged them in beautiful boxes.

"Xueke, take these home and enjoy them yourself, or share them with your family." Xia Bai took out a few boxes of chocolates and handed them to Xueke.

Xueke helped him a lot today, so it's only right to give him some chocolates!

"Thank you, Brother Xia Bai!" Xue Ke said sweetly as she took the chocolate.

"Actually, you can just call me Xia Bai, or Young Master Xia."

Although Xia Bai said that he didn't need to call him brother, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Being called "brother" by a beautiful girl is just so awesome!
