The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

Chen Siyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at everyone:

"How about... we make a deal!"

"What agreement?"

"From now on, every year! No matter how busy we are! Let's take some time to come here for a vacation! We'll see the flowers in spring, escape the heat in summer, admire the moon in autumn, and see the snow in winter! How about it?"

Yang Wanqing immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Great idea! I wholeheartedly agree!"

Tsai Ching-wen smiled gently: "I really like this promise."

Li Li nodded vigorously, "I want to come too! Every year!"

The group instantly cheered again, put their hands together, and said in unison:

"A gathering in Wonderland once a year!"

The live stream audience was touched by this scene:

[Little Sun: What a healing scene! I want to join in too!]

[Travel enthusiasts' most longed-for vacation destination of the year – west Wangmu Villa!]

[Working class: I'm so envious, I wish I could go to that paradise and relax every year too]

Chen Hao leaned against the living room doorway, watching the happy faces of the group, and remained silent.

He wouldn't mind using anything from the Qiankun Bag if they liked it.

To him, these were just insignificant little objects from the long years.

But for them, it was an unforgettable, magical encounter.

Just then, my stomach rumbled at the most inopportune moment.

Chen Siyao blushed: "I think... I'm a little hungry."

Yang Wanqing rubbed her stomach: "Now that you mention it, I'm hungry too! I only ate one Red Dust Fruit this afternoon, and it's already digested!"

Cai Jingwen looked at Chen Hao: "Chen Hao, is there anything to eat around here?"

Chen Hao raised his eyes and smiled faintly:

"Wait here, I'll go cook for you."

When they heard the word "cooking," they were all stunned.

Chen Siyao blinked: "Brother, you're cooking? But... there aren't any ingredients here?"

Yang Wanqing also wondered, "Yeah, Brother Hao, we can't just eat Red Dust Fruit for dinner, can we?"

Chen Hao didn't explain, but simply turned and walked towards the attic door:

"Wait here, it will only take ten minutes."

After he finished speaking, he stepped out of the pavilion, and his figure quickly disappeared into the spiritual mist.

The viewers in the live stream immediately began to speculate:

[Food blogger online: Is the Celestial Master going to hunt in the wild?]

[Survival enthusiasts: Is he catching rabbits? Are there fish in the stream?]

[First Skill: Just a guess—eat immortal fruit and drink from the spiritual spring!]

Meanwhile, Chen Hao walked to a deserted corner and his consciousness re-entered the Qiankun Bag.

He casually flipped through the pieces and took out a piece of beast meat that shimmered with a pale golden luster.

The aroma of meat hadn't even spread yet, but it was already so rich that it refreshed one's mind and soul.

This is not the flesh of an ordinary wild animal—

This is the meat of the ancient auspicious beast, the Flame-Patterned Deer.

Years ago, he casually killed a wicked Flame-Patterned Deer, and he preserved its meat using a special method. Even after ten thousand years, it remains as fresh and tender as ever.

Although Chen Hao's cooking skills are not good, the meat of this ancient mythical beast does not need any complicated seasonings. Simply boil it in water and sprinkle a little salt, and it will be extremely delicious, far surpassing any delicacy in the human world.

Moreover, the meat contains pure spiritual energy, and ordinary people can improve their health and prolong their lives by eating just a little bit.

Chen Hao carried the meat back to a simple stone stove at the back of the attic.

He lit a fire, set up a pot, poured in spring water from the Lingxi River, and threw in chunks of animal meat.

No complicated seasonings were used throughout the process; only a little bit of fine salt was sprinkled on top.

In just a few minutes.

An intensely rich, soul-stirring aroma of meat suddenly exploded forth!

The aroma wasn't overpowering or pungent, but rather warm, mellow, and appetizing, drifting hundreds of meters away on the wind.

The people in the attic immediately sniffed and rushed out in unison.

"It smells so good!!"

"Oh my god! What is that smell? It smells amazing!"

My mouth is watering!

Chen Hao stood beside the stone stove, his profile softened by the firelight.

His youthful figure appeared exceptionally clean and dazzling in the twilight of the fairyland.

As soon as the meat was cooked, Chen Hao carried the whole pot into the living room.

The moment the pot lid was lifted.

"Buzz—"

The rich, intense aroma of meat filled the entire attic!

The meat chunks have a light golden hue, the broth is clear and bright, and each piece of meat is so tender that it seems to melt in your mouth.

There is no fishy smell at all, only pure and extremely fresh aroma.

Chen Siyao, Yang Wanqing, Cai Jingwen, and Li Li all stared wide-eyed.

"Brother... what kind of meat is this? It smells amazing!"

"Brother Hao, can I have one piece first? Just one piece!"

Chen Hao smiled and served everyone a bowl:

"Eat up, but be careful, it's hot."

Unable to resist any longer, the group picked up their spoons, gently scooped up a piece of meat, and put it in their mouths.

The next second—

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly!

"!!!"

Chen Siyao froze completely, and the meat in her mouth melted away with a gentle purse.

Fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth – all the textures blend perfectly, a warm current slides down your throat, and your whole body feels warm and cozy.

The most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life was so inferior that it didn't even deserve to carry her shoes in front of this bowl of meat noodles!

"So delicious... Waaaaah, it's so delicious..."

Chen Siyao was so moved that her eyes reddened, and she kept eating, unable to stop.

Yang Wanqing ate with relish, his mouth still full of flavor, and mumbled indistinctly:

"Brother Hao! Your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! This is the best food I've ever eaten in my life! Bar none!"

Even the usually elegant Alyssa Chia couldn't care less about her image at this moment, taking small, quick bites while her eyes were filled with amazement.

"It's so delicious...this is definitely not ordinary meat."

Li Li held the wolf cub, and the cub, smelling the aroma, rubbed against her hand frantically. She had no choice but to feed the cub a small piece first.

After the wolf cub finished eating, it clung to her leg and wouldn't let go, howling that it wanted more.

The live stream room has gone completely crazy:

[Foodie Alliance: I'm drooling through the screen!]

[Destroyer: Please! Give me a bite! Just one bite!]

[A discerning gourmet: This meat is absolutely extraordinary! The marbling, the sheen, the aroma—it's all top-notch!]

As they ate, Yang Wanqing suddenly remembered something, looked up at Chen Hao, and smiled mischievously:

"Brother Hao, I finally understand now..."

"Know what?"

"Why do you complain that the Queen Mother of the West's cooking is bad!"

Chen Siyao almost spat out the meat in her mouth: "Hahaha, that's right! With your cooking skills, who could possibly eat anyone else's food!"

Tsai Ching-wen couldn't help but chuckle, "Indeed, the contrast is too stark."

Chen Hao felt a little embarrassed by what they were saying, so he coughed lightly and turned his face away.

"Eat up, I can't shut you up."

Even though he's lived for countless ages, he still feels a little uncomfortable being teased by a few young girls.

The live stream instantly captured this moment:

[Caught one: Hahahaha!]

[The puzzled old woman: Queen Mother of the West: In the end, it's just that my cooking skills are not good enough!]

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal and laughing and chatting happily.

"Chirp—!"

A clear and melodious bird song came from outside the attic window.

Everyone looked up.

There stood a three-colored bird with blue, red, and gold feathers, gracefully perched on the windowsill, its head tilted, its bright eyes fixed on the meat pot on the table.

His eyes clearly conveyed four big words:

I want to eat too!

Chen Siyao's eyes widened: "It's the Three Bluebirds! What's going on?"

Yang Wanqing whispered, "They must have come by the aroma... This meat smells so good, even the divine bird can't resist it."

As if it understood, the three bluebirds nodded gently and let out a soft, sweet chirp.

It lacked the majesty of an ancient divine bird, and instead resembled a large parrot begging for food.

Chen Hao looked at it, smiled helplessly, picked up a piece of meat, and handed it to the window:

"Want some?"
