Facing Alicia who looked like "I know I was wrong, but I just won't repent", Yu Qi couldn't help but tremble his hands.

Resisting the urge to hit her again, Yu Qi looked up at Gan Yu, and his gaze happened to meet her secret gaze, and he immediately withdrew his gaze.

For a moment, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little weird.

Fortunately, at this moment, the door curtain of the back kitchen of Wanmin Hall not far away was lifted, and a pungent smell mixed with the unique aroma of meat instantly rushed out and spread throughout the restaurant.

Everyone couldn't help but look up towards the kitchen. Smelling the smell, the dishes that were originally so delicious in their mouths suddenly became tasteless. Yu Qi also took the opportunity to gently loosen his tightly clenched hands with Yan Fei. They looked at each other and could see their own reflections in each other's eyes.

"The food is here!"

Xiangling shouted loudly as usual, then walked out of the kitchen with a plate in one hand and a rosy face. Under everyone's salivating gazes, she quickly ran to the table of Yu Qi and others.

Xiangling put the dishes in her hands on the table with swift movements. She pointed at one of the dishes that was full of red peppers and made people drool at the first sight, and began to introduce it.

"This stir-fried pork slices is made with the 'frozen earth beef fish' meat that you sent me, Brother Yu, plus the extra spicy Jueyun peppers and long green peppers. To alleviate the spiciness, I added a little bit of nectar when thickening the sauce. Brother Yu, come and try it and give me some advice."

"Okay."

As she spoke, she looked up and around, and then she noticed Ganyu sitting on the other side. At this moment, she seemed a little at a loss as she looked at the stir-fried pork slices on the table.

"Hey, Miss Ganyu, when did you come? Sorry, I was busy cooking and didn't notice you." As she spoke, she took the menu from the side and handed it to Ganyu: "Take a look, what do you want to eat today?"

"Well, today I..."

"Miss Ganyu, if you don't mind, why don't you eat with us?" After greeting her, Yu Qi handed a pair of chopsticks to Ganyu and said, "Anyway, we have a lot of dishes that Xiangling has prepared today, and it's hard for three people to finish them. Miss Ganyu, why don't you come and help us share some of the burden?"

"Ah, that..." Gan Yu hesitated and looked at the steaming dishes on the table, then shook her head: "Sorry, Mr. Yu Qi, I'm afraid I can't accept this kindness."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"It's like this." Gently pulling Yu Qi's sleeve, Yan Fei leaned close to his ear and explained in a low voice: "Senior Gan Yu is also a half-immortal. Unlike me, she has the blood of Qilin, so she is a strict vegetarian.

Normally, let alone meat, even eggs and animal fat are not eaten."

"Ah?!" After being slightly stunned for a moment, Yu Qi couldn't help but look up at Ganyu... the small black and red horns on her head, and then said apologetically: "Is that so? Miss Ganyu doesn't need to apologize. I should be the one to say sorry. I should have asked Miss Ganyu about her dietary taboos in advance.

I almost did something wrong.”

"It's okay." Shaking her head, Gan Yu chuckled and put down her chopsticks, preparing to get up and sit on the other side: "Then I won't disturb you all while you eat. As for Miss Xiangling, please just give me some simple ingredients. The requirements are the same as before."

"Yes, yes, I understand!" Xiangling quickly memorized Ganyu's request and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Xiangling, wait a moment. Miss Ganyu should also stay for a moment."

At this time, Yu Qi suddenly called out to Xiang Ling, and looked at Ganyu who had stopped opposite him, somewhat puzzled but still not daring to look him in the eye. After thinking for a while, he said.

"I remember that there should be a lot of vegetables among the ingredients I sent, right?"

"Let me see. There are quite a few vegetarian dishes, including black fat tofu, glazed crystal tofu, dreamy cabbage, and rainbow fruits and vegetables. The portions are large, enough to make a lot of vegetarian dishes."

"That's perfect. Xiangling, why don't you just cook some vegetarian dishes and let Miss Ganyu taste them. We can't just serve a table full of meat dishes when we entertain guests tomorrow.

Since Miss Ganyu is a vegetarian, she must have eaten many different kinds of vegetarian dishes and has seen a lot. I would like to take this opportunity to ask her more questions. "

"Oh, that's right!" Xiangling's eyes lit up as she looked at Ganyu and couldn't help but recall: "I remember that Miss Ganyu did give me a lot of suggestions when she came to the restaurant to eat."

"Well, Brother Yu, wait for me. I'll ask my father to clear out another pot. Don't worry, Miss Ganyu, there won't be any meat involved!"

"This..." Looking at Xiangling's departing back hesitantly, and then looking at Yu Qi, Gan Yuwei was a little hesitant: "Is this appropriate?"

"I think it's a suitable offer!" With a smile, Yu Qi winked at Alicia, and she cooperated very well, or rather, stood up very actively and grabbed Ganyu's hand.

"Okay, okay, Miss Ganyu, please don't refuse. If you delay any longer, the food will get cold and won't taste good."

"Well... excuse me for disturbing you!" Seeing that several people were looking at her at the same time, Ganyu could only nod and reluctantly sat back at the table.

Seeing this, Yu Qi smiled, picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food, but suddenly thought of something, glanced at Ganyu, took out the Hundred Flowers Honey from the inventory, and poured her a glass of honey water.

After all, the vegetarian dishes were not ready yet. It would be so awkward if they just started eating and left Ganyu sitting alone.

"Before the dishes are ready, Miss Ganyu, please try this honey water first." Yu Qi pushed the cup in front of Ganyu under her slightly solemn gaze and said with a smile; "I see Miss Ganyu looks sleepy and pale. It must be because she hasn't had a good rest recently. Drink some honey water to relieve your fatigue."

"...Then, thank you very much, Mr. Yu Qi." Looking at the light yellow liquid in front of her as if facing a formidable enemy, Gan Yu wanted to reject Yu Qi's kindness, but considering the other party's desirable natural feeling, plus the trace of spiritual energy exuding from the honey water in front of her.

Ganyu finally nodded slightly and accepted the kindness.

"A little, it should be okay to drink a little, yes, definitely!" She lifted the cup to her lips, the liquid with a soft sweet taste flowing on the tip of her tongue, which made her originally tired spirit relaxed a lot.

'At most, do more exercise later, and drink some honey water.'

The pure spiritual energy and vitality contained in it made Ganyu, who had the blood of Qilin, feel particularly comfortable, as if she was crawling under the wings of Zhenjun when she was a child, warm, harmonious and comfortable.

In a trance, her eyes, which were originally filled with deep confusion, became bright, and even her ice-blue hair seemed to become much smoother.

Seeing Ganyu sipping the honey water carefully with a smile, as if she was lost in some memories, Yu Qi, Yan Fei and Alicia looked at each other and simultaneously decided not to disturb her.

He quietly picked up the teapot from the other side, dripped two drops of honey into it, and placed it next to Ganyu. After doing this, Yu Qi picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the dishes on the table.

The first dish was the 'Stir-fried Pork Slices' that Xiangling had just introduced. The brown pork slices were covered with golden oil stains and dotted with a few green chili shreds, giving off a fiery aroma that made people love and fear it.

Gently pick up a piece of meat and put it in your mouth. The scorching temperature sweeps over the tip of your tongue, making you involuntarily take a breath of cool air.

The next moment, the teeth lightly closed, chewing the soft and tender meat. The taste of beef mixed with the special burnt aroma of frying in oil instantly filled the mouth. The faint chewing brought a hint of the strange aroma of fish, which complemented each other and left a long aftertaste.

Then, before anyone could react, a burning spicy taste came rushing in like a tsunami.

Two beads of sweat appeared on his forehead almost instantly, and Yu Qi's face flushed slightly. Yan Fei, who was able to control the fire element, had ripples in her eyes and her expression became even brighter.

On the contrary, Ai Lixia had a calm expression and seemed unmoved. She looked at Yu Qi and the others with a smile on her face, whose faces were red from the spicy food.

The prerequisite is to ignore the slightly flickering Eye of the Ice Element God on her waist.

He hissed and inhaled continuously in his mouth, but the movement of his chopsticks did not stop at all. He picked up another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth mixed with shredded green peppers.

With a "crack", the crispy green pepper shreds broke between the teeth. Compared with the intense spiciness of the Jueyun pepper, a faint spicy taste with a hint of sweetness spread, which well neutralized the intense spiciness that made people feel restless. It was so obvious yet not conflicting.

The blush on her face gradually faded away, and the more she chewed, the milder the spicy taste became, but also the deeper it became.

Not to mention Yu Qi and Yan Fei, even Alicia couldn't help but speed up her movements. The way she ate with such relish made the diners nearby couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.

Several guests directly raised their hands to call Chef Mao, pointed at Yu Qi and his friends, and specifically requested the same dishes as theirs.

In response to this, Master Mao showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and explained, "These people all brought their own ingredients. They plan to ask my daughter to cook for them tomorrow, so they came here in advance to try out their cooking skills."

After much persuasion, Chef Mao finally calmed down the agitated guests and breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the kitchen curtain was lifted again, and Xiangling strode out with two stacks of dishes.

The aroma in Wanmin Hall became stronger and stronger, even causing many passers-by outside the store to stop and look into the store with their noses twitching.

"Brother Yu, this is fried tofu. It's made with glass crystal tofu. Considering the special properties of the ingredients, I just added a little salt to season it. You guys try it."

“And this, this is stir-fried cabbage with bean sprouts.”

"Oh, by the way, Miss Ganyu, these two portions are fried with vegetable oil, and the pan has been cleaned carefully, so you can eat them without worry!"

"There are still vegetables in the pot, you eat first!"

Looking at Xiangling who ran out in a hurry and then ran back in a hurry, the few people looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"Come, Miss Ganyu, have a try. I got this glass crystal tofu with great difficulty. It tastes good." Yu Qi picked up the serving chopsticks and each of them took a big piece of tofu. He smiled and said, "Try it quickly. If there is anything wrong, please tell me directly. We are counting on these dishes to entertain our guests tomorrow!"

"Well, I won't be polite then." He looked down at the tofu in the bowl. The light yellow skin looked like a translucent crystal, shiny and moist, with no trace of frying at all.

I picked up the chopsticks and gently broke a small piece. The broken piece was crystal clear. Under the dim light not far away, it was particularly shining, making people vaguely reluctant to eat it.

Gently suppressing the thought in her heart, Ganyu carefully picked up the tofu and put it into her mouth.

"Hmm~"

Gan Yu let out a soft moan subconsciously, and her body tensed up instantly, then slowly softened. A blush floated on her fair face, and her eyes were crystal clear and moist, as if water would drip out at any time. One could even vaguely see colorful light flowing in them.

The bright lips opened and closed, and the drops of crystal tofu residue left in the mouth exuded a rose-like brilliance: "Really, really delicious~"

Besides, this is tofu. No matter how much you eat, you won’t get fat easily. Compared to the things I ate before…

As if she remembered something, Ganyu's expression suddenly became depressed for a moment, and then quickly became excited. She picked up another piece of tofu with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth impatiently. The girl ate up all the tofu in the bowl in no time.

It was not until the chopsticks lightly touched the bottom of the bowl, making a crisp sound, that Gan Yu came back to her senses. When she looked up, she saw Yu Qi staring at her intently, and his already rosy face suddenly turned blood red.

Even though there was a table between them, Yu Qi could still vaguely sense the heat emanating from the other person's cheeks.

"Um, um..." Ganyu mumbled, almost burying her head in those round and plump breasts. Her low voice was only because the people present were not ordinary, otherwise they would not have been able to hear her at all: "I'm just, a little hungry, sorry!"

Seeing Miss Qilin almost crying over the food, Yu Qi pursed his lips, forced himself to suppress his smile, and shook his head, "It's okay, Miss Ganyu, if you like it, then eat more."

As he said this, he picked up another piece of tofu with his chopsticks for her, and then picked up two pieces for Yan Feiduo who was eating silently.

Speaking of which, although it tastes really good, as a person who prefers meat, Yu Qi doesn't like it too much.

Of course, I just didn’t like it too much, but I kept picking up the food.

After finishing most of the plate of tofu in no time, Ganyu and Yanfei gradually slowed down their movements and began to taste other dishes.

"Oh, right." Picking up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks, Yan Fei put down the serving chopsticks and looked at Gan Yu curiously: "Senior Gan Yu, I heard that you are always very busy with your work at Yue Hai Pavilion. How come you have time to come here for dinner today?"

Judging from the information Yan Fei had collected about Ganyu before, as a well-known workaholic in Yuehaiting who stays in Yuehaiting to work at least twenty hours a day, she would hardly travel such a long distance to come to Wanmin Hall for dinner.

To use the words of Yuhengxing to describe it - if you waste too much time, you won't be able to finish your work.

In response to Yan Fei's question, Ganyu paused in picking up the food, a look of helplessness appeared on her face, and she seemed a little aggrieved.

"Although my work at Yuehai Pavilion is heavy, it's not so busy that I don't have time to come out for a meal!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I just..."

"However, today, I do have some things to do, so I can take the time to come here."

Thinking about the work she had taken over today, there seemed to be nothing worth hiding. In addition, as the descendant of Immortal Yan Fei, there was no need to hide too much from her about the matters involved this time. Ganyu simply explained the matter.

"Yesterday, or to be more precise, early this morning, Qixing suddenly sent us an official letter, asking us to put a certain drug on record and temporarily put it on the reserve list for daily supplies for the Qianyan Army on patrol. They said they would decide whether to officially put it on the supply list after a while of inspection."

Hearing this, Yu Qi paused in his eating and couldn't help but glance at Gan Yu, with a vague sense of déjà vu in his heart.

"Originally this was just a small matter, but I don't know how it happened. Master Ningguang of Tianquan Star suddenly found me, and then..." After hesitating for a moment, Ganyu thought for a while and said, "He talked to me about a lot of inexplicable topics and asked me a lot about the things between the immortals."

"I don't know what her plan is. Plus, this matter took up a lot of my time. I was busy with work, so I didn't think about it in depth."

"Then, in the afternoon, the current head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao, and the guest Zhongli came together. They talked to Lady Yuhengxing Keqing about many things, and then they came to me and said that they were going to set up a barrier for a store in Feiyunpo tomorrow, and asked me and Lady Yuhengxing Keqing to supervise the work."

After hearing this, Yu Qi and the others finally reacted. They looked at each other with strange expressions.

"Because this matter involves some of the immortal family's secret techniques, for safety reasons, I..."

Chapter 54: Eating too much still makes you fat

"Because I heard that setting up the barrier requires the use of some immortal techniques, and may even involve immortals. I was worried that something might go wrong, so I took advantage of the dinner time to run over from Yuehai Pavilion to check out the situation on the spot."

"Steamed black fat tofu, stir-fried octopus, steamed loach, boiled flying fish, please enjoy!"

Ganyu scooped a spoonful of the 'Steamed Black Fat Tofu' that Xiangling had just brought over, savoured the rich texture that was completely different from the Glazed Crystal Tofu, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he continued, "As a result, when we arrived at the place, we found that the store was not open, but we could sense the huge negative energy contained in it. That was probably what Wangsheng Hall said, that a barrier must be set up to isolate it.

After waiting for a while, no one showed up, so I went to the Wangsheng Hall again, wanting to find Hall Master Hu Tao or the guest official Zhongli to learn more about the situation, but unfortunately, they were not there either.

Although there were many attendants, they did not know the situation. When asked about the whereabouts of the Walnut Hall Master, they only said that he was out looking for materials and would not be back until at least tomorrow. "

"Cold-mixed glazed crystal tofu, lemon whale blood dipped cold lizard fish, cold-mixed dreamy cabbage~"

Picking up a piece of cold-mixed glazed crystal tofu, the cool taste instantly washed away the greasiness in her mouth. Gan Yu said helplessly, "You should have heard about the character of the Walnut Hall Master, Yan Fei.

I had no choice but to leave a message with the attendants, explain the situation, and then leave the Hall of Rebirth. Then… I don’t know how, I ended up here at Chihuyan in a daze.”

Gan Yu smiled a little embarrassedly and said shyly: "Maybe it's because I'm really hungry. I thought the time was right, so I came to Wanmin Hall to have a meal."

"Oh, so that's it!" Yan Fei nodded in understanding, her expression particularly strange.

At the side, Alysia took out a hand towel, gently wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth, and asked, "When Master Hu Tao and Guest Zhongli went to Yuehai Pavilion to report the information, Miss Ganyu, didn't you hear them tell you about the identity of the owner of the store?"

"Hmm~ Let me think..." Gan Yu lowered her head and thought for a moment, frowning a little: "I didn't pay much attention to it. They were mainly explaining the situation to Lady Keqing of Yuheng Star. As for me, it was just because of my identity..."

Gan Yu smiled somewhat disappointedly and quickly calmed down: "This is what happened. The owner of the store seemed to be called Yu something... I can't remember it!"

"Forget it, it should be clear tomorrow." As she said that, she glanced at Yan Fei, and suddenly remembered something and exclaimed: "Oh, by the way, when I heard them chatting before, they seemed to have mentioned the name of 'Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun', it should be something related to Ah Ping.

Yan Fei, if you are curious, you can go back and ask Ah Ping what happened."
