Soon, the bowl of Hundred Flower Jade Dew Cake was empty.

Gu Meng'er licked the remaining osmanthus sugar stains from the corner of her mouth, still savoring the taste.

Her big, watery eyes looked pitifully at the empty bowl in Lin Mo's hand.

No...that's all?

How come you finished eating so quickly?

I want to eat more...

Gu Meng'er felt a little disappointed.

Lin Mo was amused by her gluttonous appearance.

"What, you're already addicted after just one bowl?"

Gu Meng'er's face flushed red again.

She lowered her head, her small hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, and let out a soft "hmm" like a mosquito's buzz.

Lin Mo's heart stirred slightly as he looked at her soft, cute, and obedient appearance.

"Do you want to... learn?"

"study?"

Gu Meng'er suddenly looked up, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.

"I...I can't do it..."

She muttered to herself.

"I'm too stupid, I can't learn it."

"My sister said even the dog wouldn't eat the pastries I make..."

Towards the end, Gu Meng'er's voice began to tremble with a hint of aggrieved sobs.

Lin Mo sighed inwardly.

These twin sisters are quite contrasting: one is as wild as a firecracker, while the other is as insecure as a speck of dust.

He reached out and gently patted Gu Meng'er's head, softly comforting her.

"Who said you're stupid?"

"Your sister was just joking with you, and you actually took it seriously?"

"In my opinion, my fifth sister-in-law is an absolute genius cook."

Heavens... a talented little cook?

Gu Meng'er raised her head.

My uncle... praised me as a genius?

This was the first time in her life that she had heard anyone other than her parents praise her like this.

Moreover, it was her beloved uncle.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and Gu Meng'er's eyes immediately reddened.

Seeing that Gu Meng'er was about to cry, Lin Mo quickly flipped his wrist and took out the old and heavy book.

On the book's cover, five large characters are written in a flamboyant style: "The Dessert Recipes of All Realms".

"What... what is this?"

Gu Meng'er looked at the book with curiosity.

"Do you want to become the greatest pastry chef in Blackwind City, no, in the entire world?"

Lin Mo handed the book to her and patiently guided her through the process.

"Would you like your pastries to become so popular that everyone's clamoring for them?"

Gu Meng'er's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her breathing became rapid.

She nodded subconsciously.

I dream about it!

"Then take it."

Lin Mo shoved the book directly into her arms.

"From today onwards, you are the owner of this book."

Holding the ancient book that exuded a faint fragrance, Gu Meng'er felt as if she were dreaming.

She carefully turned to the first page.

【Osmanthus Cake: After consumption, it temporarily increases speed, making you as light as a swallow.】

【Mighty Vajra Cake: After consumption, strength is increased exponentially for a short period, making one capable of lifting a heavy weight.】

[Ice Heart Jade Dew Drink: After consumption, it clears the mind and brightens the eyes, and can resist hallucinogenic toxins.]

【Red Date Soup for Youthful Appearance: Consuming this soup can beautify the skin, nourish the complexion, and rejuvenate the body.】

……

Gu Meng'er's little mouth opened wider and wider.

In the end, I was completely dumbfounded.

This...this isn't a dessert recipe at all!

This is clearly a legendary alchemical formula book that only immortals could possess!

Can eating a piece of pastry make you run incredibly fast?

Does eating a cookie grant you superhuman abilities?

This is just too... too outrageous!

[Gu Meng'er's inner thoughts]: Is this a scam? This must be a scam! Where did my uncle get this weird book?

Lin Mo could tell from her innermost thoughts that this little girl didn't believe him.

He pointed to the empty bowl she had just finished eating from.

"What you just ate is the 'Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Cake' from this book."

"How are you feeling?"

Gu Meng'er was stunned, recalling the warm current that had flowed through her body and the wonderful feeling of complete comfort.

Could it be... that it's all true?

She looked down at the book in her hand again, and her eyes changed completely.

From initial doubt, I was filled with shock, elation, and disbelief.

"Uncle...this...this is too precious! I can't accept it!"

Gu Meng'er came to her senses, and her first reaction was to return the book to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo pressed down on her cold little hand, preventing her from retreating.

"Silly girl, once it's given to you, it's yours."

His voice was both gentle and powerful.

"Haven't you always wanted to become a great pastry chef?"

"Now, the opportunity is right in front of you."

Lin Mo gazed into her eyes, speaking each word as if trying to etch it into her heart.

"Didn't you always feel like you were no help and a burden?"

"I'm telling you, no."

"From now on, the pastries you make will be the strongest support for our Lin family."

"Qingyue is the housekeeper, Ruxue is in charge of the army, Yiyi manages the finances, and Ling'er develops weapons."

"And you, my fifth sister-in-law, you're in charge of all of our 'enhancement' and 'endurance'!"

Lin Mo's tone was resolute.

"Now, tell me, are you important or not?"

important……

Am I... important?

Gu Meng'er listened to Lin Mo's words in a daze, her expression somewhat absent-minded.

She never imagined that the little pastries she loved to make would one day become so "important".

She never imagined that one day she could be like her eldest and second eldest sisters, becoming her uncle's support.

"Waaah..."

Overwhelmed by a surge of emotion, Gu Meng'er could no longer hold back and threw herself into Lin Mo's arms, bursting into tears.

"Uncle...you're so good...sob sob sob..."

She was soft and fragrant, and I held her in my arms.

Lin Mo held the crying kitten in his arms, feeling the softness and trembling of her petite body.

He gently patted Gu Meng'er's back, soothing her softly.

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

"From now on, these things are in your hands."

"Do whatever you want. Use whatever materials you have in the manor."

"If you come across any rare or hard-to-find ingredients, just tell me or your second sister, and we'll get them for you."

"Ugh... Hmm!"

Gu Meng'er nodded vigorously in Lin Mo's arms, burying her face even deeper, like a kitten that had found a place to lean on.

After a long while, she finally lifted her head from Lin Mo's embrace.

Those big eyes were red and swollen from crying, like a frightened rabbit, making them look especially pitiful.

"Uncle, I...I will definitely try my best!"

"Yes, I believe you."

Lin Mo smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

However, the moment his hand touched Gu Meng'er's face, his smile turned slightly malicious.

"but……"

Lin Mo changed the subject.

"This 'Myriad Realms Dessert Recipe' is a divine object. To fully master it, a special... consecration ceremony is required."

"A consecration ceremony?"

A big question mark instantly popped into Gu Meng'er's innocent little head.

It's just making a pastry, why does it need to be blessed?

She blinked her big, watery eyes and asked curiously.

"Uncle, what kind of ceremony is it?"

Lin Mo leaned close to her ear, his voice low, and his warm breath sent a shiver down her spine.

"A ritual... that requires the two of us to complete in bed..."
