Chapter 16 The wretched me of the past is dead!

"Ding--"

The rice cooker automatically trips the circuit breaker after the set time.

Under Alicia's expectant gaze, Anliang lifted the pot lid and sprinkled in a handful of finely chopped scallions.

boom!

White mist rose into the air.

Then, like a whirlwind, it swept through, filling the entire kitchen with an enticing aroma.

"Gulu."

Alicia slurped her saliva.

To control her weight, she only ate a light salad for lunch, and after playing around with Anliang in the evening, she missed her usual mealtime and was already quite hungry.

Now I can smell the rich aroma of mutton stewed rice...

Alicia could no longer care about being a pretty girl and eagerly leaned in, wanting to take a bite immediately.

"You didn't even bother to wash your hands, I think you're really hungry."

Anliang shook his head helplessly and flicked Alicia's forehead with his finger.

Miss Fairy let out a pitiful "Ouch!" and had no choice but to run off to wash her hands.

When she returned after washing up, Anliang had already served the two of them a meal and gentlemanly pulled out the chairs for Alicia at the dining table.

"Please enjoy An's signature braised mutton rice!"

"Then I'll start eating!"

Alicia sat down impatiently and looked at the rice in her bowl.

The rice, soaked in broth, was distinct and glistening under the light, making it look incredibly appetizing.

Carefully blowing on the steam, Alicia first tasted a small bite with her chopsticks, then her eyes lit up, and she picked up the bowl and started shoveling food into her mouth.

Delicious, no further explanation needed!

Lamb is already delicious, and Anliang added a lot of vegetables to balance out the greasiness of the lamb.

The subtle sweetness of onions, the mushroom aroma of mushrooms, and the flavors of carrots and potatoes... the chopped vegetables complement the lamb perfectly, elevating the flavor of the risotto to another level.

Alicia ate most of a bowl of rice in one go before realizing that she hadn't yet tasted the most important part of the dish: the mutton.

The mutton cubes, cut into one-centimeter squares, are a slightly charred dark brown, with the juices on the surface still sizzling, and a few chopped green onions are evenly sprinkled on top.

Alicia picked up a piece of mutton, chewed half a bite, and a happy expression instantly appeared on her pretty face.

The mutton was cooked to perfection, tender yet retaining a slight chewiness, with a delicious and mellow flavor, but without any gamey taste, replaced by a rich, savory aroma.

Take a bite of rice, then a bite of meat, it's so delicious you can't stop eating!

"Poor hospitality!"

An Liang casually ripped off his apron and started eating.

It's alright. Although there was a slight mistake along the way, the final product was fine.

While enjoying her meal, Alicia took a moment to give Anliang a thumbs-up and said indistinctly.

"Hmm, Anliang, with your cooking skills, you'd definitely be a huge hit as a food blogger."

"I have no interest in being a food blogger."

An Liang shrugged.

He initially practiced cooking simply to cook a delicious meal for someone he liked, without expecting to become a master chef or food blogger.

It's just that he had many admirers later on, which led to him being able to cook more and more different kinds of dishes, and eventually he developed such superb culinary skills.

"Hehe, you're not interested, but Miss Fairy is!"

Alicia's eyes sparkled as if she had thought of something.

"That's right, Miss Fairy can record the process of you cooking, and after a little editing, it can be used to make some fluffy videos!"

"Uh, can your fans accept this?"

Anliang felt that the girl's idea was unreliable.

"Oh dear, Miss Fairy will also appear on screen, so it's fine."

While eating, Alicia dreamed, "Anliang, you'll be in charge of cooking, and I'll be in charge of tasting. Together, we'll dominate the food court."

"Do whatever you want, it's not my problem if you lose fans anyway."

An Liang thought for a moment, then said casually.

"Fairy's fans wouldn't do that, and judging from the comments, most people want to see you appear... wait a minute."

Alicia's hand holding the chopsticks froze.

She has released many beauty videos, and a significant portion of her fan base consists of women. Anliang has appeared in her videos a few times before, and her female fans always seem very excited.

Oh no, she's lusting after her fiancé!

Once Alicia understood, she immediately pouted.

“No, Anliang, you really can’t appear on camera. Even if you’re filmed in a video later, you absolutely can’t show your face.”

"Ah this..."

Anliang didn't understand why Alicia had suddenly changed her mind, and there was a hint of sourness in her tone.

Where does this unprovoked jealousy come from?

Anliang glanced at Alicia, and the girl looked as if she were protecting some treasure, which made him smile.

"Anyway, I don't know how to make videos. You can decide how you want to make them. Even if you don't want to make videos and want to take a break for a few months, that's fine too. I'll be here for you!"

"Huh, what you're saying... you're planning to turn around and keep Miss Fairy as your sugar daddy?"

Alicia raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious about where this person got the confidence to defy the Heavenly Gang.

"What do you mean by reversed? I've already said that what I did before didn't count as being kept."

An Liang coughed lightly and straightened his back without making a sound: "But I really have no problem supporting you now, because your fiancé has changed jobs and his monthly salary is now 20,000!"

The man who was once down on his luck is dead...

He is now the lead artist at the Principle Studio, and the chief general of Bronya, the crown prince of Anti-Entropy. His salary is enough to support a family!

"Huh? When did this happen?"

Alicia's small mouth opened slightly, and her large, pinkish-blue eyes finally showed shock.

She knew that Anliang was exceptionally capable and no ordinary person, so it was not surprising that he could find a job with a monthly salary of 20,000.

The problem is that……

When exactly did Anliang change jobs? Why is his fiancée completely unaware?

"Haha, actually this happened this afternoon, but I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

An Liang briefly explained the whole story, from the collapse of Juzha Company to how he was favored by Bronya and eventually became the lead artist.

After he finished recounting what had happened over the past few days, the two of them finished off a pot of mutton stew with rice.

Alicia reluctantly put down her chopsticks, then looked at Anliang, who was all smiles, and nodded thoughtfully.

"The Principles Studio, Bronya... I think I've heard that name from Hua before."

"If I remember correctly, he should be Hua's good friend at St. Freya Academy. Hmm, he should be a trustworthy person!"

“I told you this job wouldn’t be a problem, you can rely on me now.”

An Liang smiled and mimicked the girl's tone, saying, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a kept man. If you want, I can take care of you anytime~?"

 

P.S.: One of my chapters got blocked by the review committee today. I spent ages trying to fix it, so I had to delete it and repost it. Sigh.

It's just a kiss scene; there are plenty of books that are far more outrageous than this, so why is it only the author who got banned? What bad luck!

Chapter 17 There are immortals in the land of China, peerless and independent.

Hearing Anliang's incredibly lifelike imitation...

Alicia's face immediately puffed up like a steamed bun, and she said angrily.

"You wicked Anliang, you actually used Miss Fairy's words against Miss Fairy!"

"Hehe, this is called using their own methods against them."

An Liang said with a smile, raising his hand to pinch Alicia's cheek.

This little vixen is always thinking about keeping him as a mistress, trying to corrupt his will with her money and turn this good man into a gigolo who can only depend on women.

But how could someone as principled as him let Alicia's scheme succeed!

Previously, Anliang didn't earn much money and lacked confidence, so he could only let Alicia tease him. But now that he has been promoted and received a raise, it's time to switch roles.

"Hmph, although it's good that your salary has increased, it's still not as high as Miss Fairy's income."

Alicia quickly came up with a way to retaliate, patted Anliang on the shoulder, and said smugly, "If you want to turn the tables and take care of Miss Fairy, you still need to work harder!"

"I believe this will happen soon."

While clearing away the dishes, Anliang made a bold statement.

The gaming industry is quite profitable.

If Bronya really does give him a share of the profits, he'll just copy all the hit games from his previous life, beat Anti-Entropy and Destiny, and surpassing Alicia, the big internet celebrity, won't be a problem.

"The future is uncertain, so I think you should give up and just stay in the fairy's arms and live off her!"

Alicia hugged Anliang from behind, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Anliang stood in front of the sink, ignoring the soft, warm body pressed against him, and washed the dishes and chopsticks for the two of them before replying indifferently.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?!"

"I wouldn't dare, but if you want to live off me, Miss Fairy is always welcome~?"

Alicia blinked and picked up on Anliang's joke, then, as if she had thought of something, she changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, your current boss is Hua's classmate, but we haven't seen Hua for a while. How about we go visit Hua this weekend?"

"Fu Hua...?"

An Liang pictured a gray-haired, blue-eyed girl in ancient costume.

In the land of China dwell immortals, peerless and independent.

In a past reincarnation, he had also dated Fu Hua, and even in the illusion of the Herrscher of Knowledge, they had bowed to heaven and earth, entered the bridal chamber, and officially married.

Anliang has been in love with many Valkyries, and each Valkyrie brings him different feelings and different loves.

And among all the Valkyries...

Fu Hua is definitely the one with the most complicated feelings towards him.

As an immortal who has protected the land for thousands of years, Fu Hua possesses a serene and ethereal quality. An Liang was utterly amazed when he first met Fu Hua.

In a Destiny organization dominated by foreigners, the sudden appearance of a female warrior with a strong Chinese aesthetic, who is both ethereal and chivalrous, naturally gave An Liang a sense of familiarity.

However, Fu Hua's personality is very rigid, and she's like a block of wood when it comes to things like romance.

For this reason, although the two became friends, neither An Liang nor Fu Hua had any further thoughts about taking their relationship to the next level.

An unexpected event brought the two together and helped them overcome their differences.

It was from that cycle of reincarnation that Anliang came to understand that even iron trees can bloom and immortals can be moved by mortal desires.

You know what, dating Fu Hua is quite a unique experience; there's a sense of accomplishment in making an unsuspecting celestial maiden gradually fall for her.

However, the ending of that reincarnation was not good.

Even though he destroyed World Serpent ahead of time, used schemes to prevent Kevin from returning from the Sea of ​​Quanta, helped Theresa seize Otto's position as the Archbishop of Schicksal, and even managed to prevent Kiana from going out of control and becoming the Herrscher of the End, and unified the vast majority of the forces on Earth...
