"Right."

......

Holding the bottle of special essence given by Bai Luoyi, Gu Youke said goodbye to Bai Luoyi. The latter wanted to participate in person, but her injury did not allow it. She could only continue to recuperate helplessly, and regretted that she could not see the ugly appearance of the goddess.

Gu Youke calmed down and walked into the kitchen.

On the stove, pots, pans, and utensils are neatly arranged, and all ingredients and baking tools are available.

Gu Youke's eyes lit up. All this was both familiar and unfamiliar to her. She was good at cooking meat, but desserts were her weak point. Leng Xuan also preferred more exciting food, so there was no need for her to be good at it.

She picked up a recipe book that the Qingqiu foxes had gotten from somewhere and started reading it. The colors on the recipe book were tempting and every dessert was beautiful.

She searched for simple recipes and finally decided to try making the most basic pastry.

Gu Youke began to follow the instructions of the recipe, carefully measuring the flour, sugar and other ingredients, and then quietly pouring the essence into the dough while kneading.

Her movements were clumsy, and the dough was sometimes too dry and sometimes too sticky.

Just as Gu Youke was trying to save her work that was about to fail, Lin Xuan appeared at the kitchen door.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and then she turned around, as if trying to escape.

But Gu Youke called her.

"stop!"

Lin Xuan stopped, turned around, and faced Gu Youke's playful smile. She sighed helplessly, a wry smile curling her lips.

"Is mom so scary? That you want to run away when you see her?" Gu Youke asked teasingly. Her tone was relaxed, as if she was enjoying the drama.

This woman took advantage of her again.

Lin Xuan glared at Gu Youke. Although she was angry inside, she knew that she had no place to vent her anger in front of Gu Youke, so she could only swallow her anger silently.

"If you are hungry, you can just come in openly. Why do you have to sneak around?" Gu Youke continued to tease Lin Xuan, with an unquestionable sense of ease in his tone.

A blush of embarrassment crossed Lin Xuan's face, but she quickly adjusted her mood and responded, "I was just passing by."

Gu Youke sneered and changed the subject: "Can you make desserts?"

Lin Xuan nodded, a serious look in her eyes: "I have learned it, and I know a little bit."

"That's good, come and help me." Gu Youke's tone was filled with an irresistible command.

Lin Xuan didn't know why Gu Youke suddenly wanted to make desserts.

But I think it was also because of that man...

Unable to resist, she could only come to Gu Youke and help.

Lin Xuan began to prepare the ingredients and mix the batter.

During the whole process, Gu Youke handed Lin Xuan some bottles and jars from time to time. She deliberately put the bottle of perfume among them, pretending that she was also busy.

Lin Xuan had no doubts and added the essence to the batter as usual.

The dough gradually took shape, the smell was tempting, and the golden surface looked extremely attractive. No one could tell anything was wrong from the outside.

Gu Youke picked up the finished dessert and was about to give it to the goddess.

At this time.

She suddenly thought of something.

He turned back and looked at Lin Xuan, and said to her, "You don't seem to know that we have captured the goddess. So, you hold this for me, and I will take you to see her. If they are all acquaintances, then you should be very eager to see her."

Gu Youke's words had hidden meaning.

Lin Xuan's face suddenly turned pale, and she said depressedly:

"Haven't I made it clear already? I'm not an undercover agent, and I don't even know that celestial being!! We have no connection at all."

507. I don’t know her!

Lin Xuan is not stupid.

I don’t think I’m stupid either.

This cat girl took herself to see that goddess, most likely with no good intentions. She probably just wanted to see her reaction when she met the goddess.

She wanted to say no.

But if I refuse, I will seem guilty.

So there was no choice but to pick up the freshly made dessert and follow Gu Youke.

Gu Youke took Lin Xuan through the quiet corridor, and the light and shadow cast long shadows behind them.

At the end of the corridor, an iron door slowly opened, and the creaking sound echoed in the empty cell.

Lin Xuan followed closely behind, her heart beating involuntarily faster. Although she tried to appear calm, she could not hide her inner nervousness.

In the cage, a gorgeous woman sat quietly, her beauty unable to be concealed even by the dim light coming in from the window.

Her eyes were like deep pools, staring quietly ahead, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Lin Xuan's attention was attracted by her, and her beauty made her almost forget to breathe.

Gu Youke gently handed the dessert to Tiannv. Tiannv glanced at the dessert in her hand, and Lin Xuan happened to see her face.

At this moment, Lin Xuan felt a huge wave rising in her heart.

The face of the celestial maiden was so familiar, yet so confusing. She was almost certain that she had seen such a face somewhere.

Lin Xuan's thoughts flashed back in an instant. There seemed to be such a face in those memory fragments, but she didn't dare to be sure, nor did she dare to ask.

Is it a coincidence? Or is she the one he knows?

She knew that she must not show any unusual behavior now.

Otherwise, her reputation as an undercover agent might really be confirmed.

By then, her fate will definitely be very miserable.

Forcefully suppressing her surprise and shock, she tried to speak to Gu Youke in a calm tone, "Is this the so-called celestial maiden?"

Gu Youke replied with a smile: "Yes, she is the goddess."

There are many mysteries hidden in her smile, making it difficult to understand her true thoughts.

Lin Xuan's doubts grew thicker and thicker, and her thoughts became more and more confused. If it wasn't a coincidence, if they weren't two people who looked exactly the same, then she didn't know why Si Yao was in this world, why she became a so-called celestial maiden, and why she fell into such a situation.

She looked at Gu Youke, and that face that always had a smile on it made Lin Xuan feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, the goddess slowly raised her hand and took the dessert. Her movements were graceful and calm, and there seemed to be only the dessert in her eyes. She didn't even look at Lin Xuan from beginning to end, which made Lin Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

But at the same time I breathed a sigh of relief.

She was even more confused inside.

The goddess savored the dessert carefully, and every bite seemed to show her cherishment for the sweet taste.

A hint of joy flashed in her pupils, as if past memories were awakened at this moment.

In her hands, dessert was no longer a simple meal, but a long-lost comfort, a gentle remembrance. She took a sip, her thin lips curled up slightly, and the glimmer in her eyes seemed to express her cherishment of this simple happiness.

However, the goddess's expression changed slightly after a few bites. She put down the dessert and said calmly, "The craftsmanship is indeed excellent. Bai Luoyi is worthy of the title of Medicine Fairy. The medicine she refines is unmatched. The colorless and odorless medicine does not affect its original deliciousness."

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Youke's eyes.

Obviously, the goddess had realized the abnormality in the dessert, and her reaction was unexpectedly calm, as if all this was within her expectations.

Gu Youke forced a smile on his face, but in his heart he was wondering whether Bai Luoyi's medicine was effective. But then he thought about it and it was normal. After all, she was a celestial being. How could a mere poison possibly have any effect on her?

It’s a pity that we can’t see the ugly appearance of the goddess vomiting and having diarrhea. However, if my dear can succeed in the future, we will have the chance to see her swallowing and vomiting.

Suddenly, the goddess continued, "Where is Lingmu? I want to see him."

There was an unspeakable longing in her voice, the spirit tree was her only concern.

Desserts are delicious of course.

But it is not as beautiful as the spiritual wood.

If possible, she would rather see the spiritual wood and taste it.

"You can't see him whenever you want," Gu Youke said lightly, a hint of arrogance in her tone. "Even as a servant, I often can't see him casually."

The goddess frowned slightly, as if out of disappointment.

Her gaze turned to the corner of the cell, where there was a basin of clear water, the surface of the water rippling slightly, reflecting her face.

"I want to take a bath." She whispered, with an indescribable weariness in her voice. "Even if my body is flawless and covered in dust, I still want to wash it."

Gu Youke couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, with a hint of sarcasm in her laughter.

"A prisoner is not in a position to make so many demands." A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes. "Just eat your dessert obediently, you will suffer later."

"I'm not going to be any better? That's not necessarily true..." The goddess wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled faintly. Her voice was calm and firm. "Hurry up and find a solution. You don't have much time left. I'll recover soon. By then, it's still unclear who will be the prisoner."

Gu Youke's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

She said nothing more and turned to leave the cell.

She knew that the goddess' words were not empty talk; this was a warning that could not be ignored.

Although it was just an incarnation of a celestial maiden, the demigods had to put in a lot of effort to exhaust all her strength and capture her.

It’s better to catch it than not.

It doesn't mean that it can be solved once and for all.

Lin Xuan watched all this quietly from the side.

Although this woman was in trouble, her temperament, her attitude, and the confidence revealed in her words made Lin Xuan feel amazing.

Is this what her best friend looks like in her mind?

As Lin Xuan left the cell, her thoughts became even more confused.

She looked at the other person deeply, but the other person still didn't look at her, as if he really didn't know her. Not long after, Lin Xuan followed Gu Youke away.

She wasn't sure if it was her.

Lin Xuan is in a difficult situation now, and it is not a good time to ask questions, otherwise she might get locked up herself.

Outside the prison.

Gu Youke stopped.

She looked at Lin Xuan who was following closely behind and asked with a smile, "Do you want to save her?"

Lin Xuan was stunned and shook her head quickly.

Although I don’t know what happened to that stinky girl and why she was locked up.

But she didn't want to get into trouble.

Yes, she would never admit that she knew that guy.

Gu Youke narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Lin Xuan, who felt cold all over.

After a while, Gu Youke finally spoke:

"You're free anyway, so you can help mom and little Muxi train her."

508. Work hard! How can you have a future without working hard?

The sun shines through the slightly opened curtains.

The room is mottled with light and shadow, making it seem exceptionally quiet yet hiddenly noisy.

The air was filled with a mixture of sweat and a strange, sticky, rotten smell, and the mess in the room spoke of the madness and passion of last night.

On the floor, pieces of clothing were scattered, some even hanging on the corners of furniture, silently telling of the previous madness.

On the bed, the sheets were in a mess, as if they had just experienced a battle without rules. They were piled up haphazardly, with some wet marks between the folds.

Su Naer lay on Leng Xuan's body. A thin blanket could not hide her curves. The corners of the blanket hung casually on the edge of the bed, swaying soft shadows.

Her skin seemed even softer in the morning light, as smooth as water waves. Her breathing was slow and regular, just like her peaceful sleeping face.

Leng Xuan's eyes were closed tightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face. His chest rose and fell slightly with his breathing. One arm unconsciously wrapped around Sunaer's waist, gently stroking her snow-white skin.

Leng Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze first fell gently on Su Naer's face, and then he slowly stood up.

The moment he got up, he gently tidied Sunar's hair and gently tucked her long hair behind her ears with delicate and gentle movements.
