Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 323 Happy Birthday!

In the valley, the original three small wooden houses are gone, replaced by a large villa with three courtyards, similar to a traditional courtyard house.

Soul Masters are undoubtedly very capable. This villa was built by Lin Yun and several girls themselves. Although it took a lot of time, it gave them a sense of belonging and a feeling of home.

This is still very necessary.

Since they chose to follow him and join the side of the soul beasts, Lin Yun would definitely not treat them badly. Whether it was their daily needs or their psychological comfort, Lin Yun hoped to give them everything he could.

As long as they maintain their current mindset and don't think about betraying Lin Yun or backstabbing the soul beasts, Lin Yun will always treat them well.

But then again, today seems to be a pretty important day, doesn't it?

Watching Xue Qingci laughing and playing with the other three girls in the villa, Lin Yun stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Today—it seems to be Lao Xue's birthday!

9 Month 19 Day!

Lin Yun slapped his forehead and chuckled. Little Lao Xue always said he had no emotional intelligence, but today he would let this little maid experience what true emotional intelligence was!

After secretly sending a message to the three girls besides Xue Qingci, Lin Yun turned and left, heading towards the Lake of Life.

Upon receiving Lin Yun's telepathic message, the three women paused simultaneously, exchanged glances, and then continued chatting with Xue Qingci without making a sound. However, they would always find an excuse to leave midway through, but since they only left for a short while each time and each time they left alone, the naive and innocent Xue Qingci did not notice at all.

On the other side, Lin Yun flapped his wings and landed from the sky. The Demon King was already waiting for him by the lake.

If you want to find something in the Star Dou Great Forest, then asking the Demon King for help is undoubtedly the most convenient option. He can not only communicate with plants, but also spread tree seeds, making him incredibly fast at finding things.

Moreover, the things Lin Yun needs are quite troublesome to find, and it's already noon, so getting them done before evening is quite rushed.

Fortunately, the Demon King was quite capable; he managed to gather everything Lin Yun needed before sunset.

First and foremost is milk.

There are quite a few cows in the Star Dou Great Forest. The only problem is finding a cow that is currently nursing. The Demon King solved this problem quickly and obtained a large bucket of milk.

Secondly, there were various fruits, which were everywhere. Lin Yun picked out a few that were sweet and had a good texture, and threw the rest into his soul tool.

Then there are the plants from which flour and starch can be extracted, which is the most difficult. The Demon King searched for several kinds but none of them worked, so Lin Yun could only use similar ones as substitutes in the end.

As for how to extract it?

Check out the ultimate fire!

While alchemy is a crude practice in Douluo Continent, it still exists. Moreover, Lin Yun wasn't actually trying to refine pills; he was simply extracting substances similar to flour and starch. With the assistance of the plant-based expert, the Demon King, this process was even more difficult than finding the plants themselves.

It's also thanks to the fact that Lin Yun liked to watch random videos in his previous life, so he knows a little bit about everything. There's also a cake shop downstairs from his house, and he would occasionally stop to chat with the owner when he went to buy a cake, to see how he made it. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to try making it himself.

Yes, he's going to make a cake!

After he had wasted almost all of the dozens of kilograms of ingredients and a whole bucket of milk, a decent-looking cake was finally made.

"Phew~ I could have just bought it, but I made one for you myself. The Lord of Soul Beasts made it himself. Isn't that sincere enough?" Lin Yun chuckled, put the cake away, spread his wings, and flew towards the valley.

Lao Xue, don't be too touched~?

In the villa. Among the four, Zhang Lexuan, the oldest, was undoubtedly the best cook, followed by Xixi. As for Xiao Xiao and Xue Qingci, they could only assist the two.

Apart from the silly and happy Xue Qingci, the other three women all understood what this dinner meant, so they did their best to make the food as delicious as possible, and plates of colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes were constantly being taken out of the kitchen.

Besides food, special occasions naturally call for fine wines.

As a result, the wine cellar of Saint Xin suffered an unbearable burden once again, and the chieftain of the Light Unicorns fainted at home while holding an empty wine jar.

When Lin Yun returned to the villa, Zhang Lexuan and her group had already prepared the meal. A large bowl of fragrant bone broth was placed in the center of the round table.

"Brother Yun, come and eat!" Xiao Xiao's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she waved to Lin Yun with a sweet smile.

Zhang Lexuan and Xixi moved out a chair for him and prepared bowls and chopsticks, giving off a strong sense of being virtuous wives and loving mothers.

Lin Yun sat down between Xiao Xiao and Xue Qingci, and gently clapped his hands: "Let's eat! Cheers to our warm family!"

"Cheers~"

The glasses filled with fragrant fruit wine clinked together gently, the five people exchanged smiles, and drank the wine in one gulp.

The meal was very warm and cozy, as if this wasn't the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, and that everyone was just an ordinary family.

After the meal, Xue Qingci, her face flushed, lowered her head and rubbed her tummy. She opened her mouth and couldn't help but let out a burp with a sweet, fruity aroma. She didn't know why, but everyone seemed to be taking extra care of her today, frequently putting food on her plate and drinking with her.

Seeing Zhang Lexuan and Xixi clearing the dishes, Xue Qingci stood up, wanting to help, but Lin Yun beside her reached out and pressed her back into her chair.

"What's wrong?" Xue Qingci looked at Lin Yun with a puzzled expression, her watery eyes filled with a hint of confusion and intoxication.

Although the alcohol content of fruit wine is not high, some people are like that, getting drunk after just one glass. Although Xue Qingci is not someone who gets drunk after one glass, her alcohol tolerance is not much better. In addition, she did not use her soul power to evaporate the alcohol, so her head was spinning at this moment.

It was precisely her slightly drunk appearance that made her seem exceptionally soft and adorable, instantly capturing Lin Yun's heart.

Lin Yun couldn't help but pinch her rosy cheeks. With a wave of his hand, the cake he had spent an afternoon making was placed on the now-empty table.

Xue Qingci's gaze followed Lin Yun's movements. When she saw the cake on the table, her drunken eyes widened slightly, and she covered her mouth with her hands.

"Happy birthday!" Lin Yun smiled at her.

"Happy birthday~" Xiao Xiao, Zhang Lexuan and Xi Xi, who had already returned, also sent their blessings to Xue Qingci.

Lin Yun snapped his fingers, and the candles on the cake instantly ignited, extinguishing all the surrounding lights and leaving only the candlelight on the cake and the tears streaming down Xue Qingci's face.
