Chapter 316 A meaningful smile
Leaving aside the scenery in the sky, the people on the ground are still filled with happy laughter.

"Ying! Thanks to your help, otherwise I really don't know what to do with that big guy!"

Xiangling and Ying were all smiles. The game went very smoothly. In the dark pyramid, they defeated the two Sphinxes and, in front of countless Liyue people, obtained one of the rarest ingredients that had appeared on the field so far.

"Sweet Cola".

After the giant beast, the Sphinx, suffered a violent blow all over its body, tears burst out from its watery eyes.

The refreshing and invigorating carbonic acid sprays into the sky with the force of a gusher, and just one sniff of it makes people feel refreshed.

Then, the refreshing and rich black drink would be endlessly poured into the sky from the Sphinx's well-developed tear glands. This process would often last for several days.

"Wow!"

Ying and Xiangling opened their mouths in this refreshing "carbonated rain" and savored their victory.

As soon as they took a sip, the stimulating bubbles went straight from the throat to the abdomen. The sweetness, which was a hundred times sweeter than the sweetest maple syrup, surged through the taste buds of both people, but it did not make people feel sick at all.

"Wow, I've been a chef for so long, and I've never seen such a strange drink!"

There are countless little stars of surprise around Xiangling, and these imaginative ingredients also ignite her passion for cooking.

The two who successfully passed the level walked out of the secret realm, carrying countless sweet cola and countless pearl ingredients in the pyramid.

On the other hand, what Shen He and Ye Lan brought out were enough to make people drop their jaws.

Shen He carried out the giant dragon as big as a hill with one hand, causing a commotion at the scene, and the precious raw materials that they wanted to find at the beginning were also brought out.

"Century Thick Soup", although its name contains the word "thick", its juice is clear and transparent. If it were not for the reflection of the aurora in the sky on the soup, people would even find it difficult to see the liquid in the bowl.

"Don't go to such a dangerous place next time..."

Ye Lan covered her waist and walked out slowly. The moment she walked out of the secret realm, her injured part was healed by invisible force. Even she, who was knowledgeable, was amazed.

"Is this really something that an immortal can do?"

This thought appeared in Ye Lan's mind. As a clan of martyrs whose ancestors had once guarded the Layered Rock Abyss with the Yaksha clan, their scriptures did record the methods of the immortals, but there had never been an immortal who could do such a thing.

Countless caves were opened up, land was reclaimed from the sea, and it was even possible to monitor the mental state of each contestant in real time, as well as possess rare creatures that had never been recorded in the Liyue classics.

Yao Luo's figure appeared in Ye Lan's mind. As the organizer of this competition, there are more mysteries about him than he imagined.

The following competition went very smoothly. Although Ye Lan and Shen He had the "Century Soup" as a base, the ingredients themselves were wonderful enough. If they handled it rashly, their cooking skills would be inferior and the original deliciousness would be ruined.

As expected, Xiangling conquered every audience member present with her imaginative cooking skills and won the final victory of the competition.

"The Ice Sculpture Mountain is full of energy!"

Borrowing a piece of iceberg obtained from the secret realm of ice, Xiangling carved it into the shape of a phoenix. Delicious oyster meat, various fresh fish, seafood and sashimi wings constitute the main part of this delicacy.

At the bottom of the Phoenix, there is a designed ventilation pipe connected to the sweet cola at the bottom. Xiangling did not choose the sweet taste of sweet cola, but cleverly used its carbonic acid to activate the activity of various fresh foods on the ice sculpture mountain.

When you take a bite, it's as if you feel a living fish tumbling and jumping in your mouth. The vitality of life is fully displayed in the food in front of you, which makes people sigh with emotion.

Even Zhongli, who usually doesn't like seafood, showed some admiration.

In the end, the little penguin who had faced the danger with Ye Lan and Shen He also came out with them.

Facing the loss in the competition, the little guy didn't care at all. He looked at the failed products made by the two people and drooled. "Hey, don't..."

Ye Lan didn't pay any attention and could only watch the saliva fall into the soup.

"open eyes!"

The soup of the century was not destroyed by the saliva. On the contrary, the aurora attached to it expanded in an instant and covered the entire scene.

"Hey, this little guy's saliva seems to have activated the true form of the soup and blended the flavor. It's amazing!"

Xiangling came out with a curious look on her face, picked up the soup spoon and took a sip.

Suddenly, an expression of happiness filled Xiangling's face.

Xiangling was captivated by the smell.

"This is so delicious! If I had taken it out earlier, I would have been the loser!"

Xiangling excitedly hugged the little penguin and Ye Lan and others, which only made Ye Lan full of confusion.

“Share this soup with everyone here!”

So, out of gratitude, every Liyue audience member present was given a bowl of thick soup that reflected the aurora in the sky.

Without exception, everyone who drank the soup showed a happy expression from the bottom of their hearts.

"Give it to me. As the greatest contributor, it's only natural."

Ye Lan also poured a bowl for Shen He. Although Shen He's goal from the beginning was to have the Century Soup, he now felt a little hesitant.

She looked at the smiles on the faces of the people around her, an emotion she could not understand.

"What if it doesn't work?"

Shen He's confused eyes met Ye Lan's determined gaze.

"If not, I'll go with you again."

"it is good."

With an inexplicable emotion, Shen He raised the bowl of soup above his head and poured it into his mouth.

At the same time, a hint of anticipation appeared on Ye Lan's face. Everyone who drank the soup showed an expression of irrepressible happiness. If it was Shen He, how would she react?

In the night sky, Shen He looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance and the people who were with her. She held the bowl in her hand, and a warm feeling flowed in her heart.

She smiled.

It was a smile that came naturally from the heart. It was so beautiful that, accompanied by the aurora and lights in the sky, even Ye Lan, who was of the same sex, was mesmerized for a moment.

She patted Shen He's shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

"Isn't this quite pretty..."
