His cooking is so delicious that he's become the darling of the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 386 Little Treasure Arrives

They had been selling food for nearly three hours, and dusk was approaching outside.

The artificial hills, flowing water, flowers, birds, butterflies, and fish, bathed in the setting sun, create a unique and enchanting atmosphere.

The sun was setting perfectly round in the distance, and birds flew by. Disciples from various peaks who came out of the restaurant couldn't help but stop and admire this beautiful scene.

The direction is ahead, but it's okay to stop and appreciate the scenery for a while.

Even the two senior apprentices carrying takeout food repeatedly marveled at the designer's meticulous attention to detail.

Yun Ci walked out of the kitchen, where many people were still sitting at tables eating spicy hot pot and fried skewers.

Yun Ci and the staff tidied up the two empty tables, and Da Hai and Maomao brought out two large plates of fried skewers.

The sea smiled like a flower.

Mao Mao smiled as she smelled the fragrance, her two dimples resembling two springs.

Xiao Hou stepped forward and said, "Give it to me."

Mao Mao's eyelids drooped as she avoided Xiao Hou's hand.

There's some in the kitchen, why take his?

Xiao Hou said, "Hey, you rascal, it's not right for me to help you carry it."

The shop assistants couldn't contain their joy.

The happiest time of the day is almost here!

The table was covered with spicy hot pot and fried skewers, and Yun Ci and the staff sat down to eat.

The little guys haven't stopped eating all afternoon, and now they're outside running and playing with the other spirit beasts, munching on fried skewers.

Many of the spirit beasts' owners went home after finishing their meals, but these contracted beasts didn't want to go back. Anyway, they could find their way back, and they preferred to play with Yun Ci.

Yun Ci took a bite of the potato tower, and with a crunch, the crispy potato shell fell into her mouth.

The potato tower is fragrant and crispy, filled with the aroma of potatoes.

A group of little creatures ran up to Yun Ci, reaching out their paws to tug at his clothes. The little tiger and the little rabbit couldn't help but rub against Yun Ci, inhaling his scent.

Yun Ci lowered her head, "Which one do you want to eat?"

The little tiger, the little rabbit, the little fox, the little snake, and the little ginseng started chattering away.

Yun Ci gave them a bunch of fried skewers.

The little ones happily ran out again.

During the conversation, other disciples from the peak in the shop would occasionally chime in with a few words.

After finishing their meal and saying goodbye to Yun Ci, some people returned to the mountain peak to cultivate.

As the sun was about to set, more and more people finished their meals and left.

"Aren't you going? If you don't go soon, Yun Ci will have to close the shop."

In the corner, Stone picked up a string of small sausages and pulled them off.

Delicious, delicious! This little sweet sausage is so good! Luckily, he has saved up a lot of spirit stones.

Xiao Bao withdrew his gaze from Yun Ci, his left hand, which was resting on his lap, was already sweating. Seemingly provoked by Shi Tou's words, he immediately said, "Go."

After standing up, Xiao Bao asked timidly, "Does Yun Ci really still want to be friends with me?"

Stone waved his hand, "Yes, yes."

Since yesterday, Xiao Bao has been asking this question repeatedly. How can he be sure if he will or will not? But he is really tired of hearing it!

Yun Ci took a bite of the fried sesame seed cake, which he stuffed with a lot of things.

With one bite, Yun Ci savored the meat and vegetables, the inside of which was brushed with chili sauce.

At this moment, Yu Guangzhong walked towards him alone, and Yun Ci turned his head to look.

Xiao Bao froze, then started to let his mind wander.

Yun Ci looked over. What should he say? Should he first explain his abrupt departure, or should he first ask Yun Ci how he had been these past four years?

Yun Ci looked at the young man, a servant disciple in his early twenties, and asked in confusion, "Is there something you need?"

Hmm? This person looks kind of familiar.

Yun Ci's eyes were filled with inquiry and seriousness.

When Xiao Bao saw Yun Ci's unfamiliar gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tell whether to retreat or feel bitter first, but he was definitely not feeling well at the moment.

Xiao Bao shrank back, looking timid.

"I..." Xiao Bao was about to take a step back.

Yun Ci suddenly widened her eyes, "You're Xiao Bao?"

Unsure, Yun Ci stood up and looked closely. She found that the person in front of her had the same expression and skin color as Xiao Bao, only the difference between mortals and humans was greater.

Yun Ci was immediately delighted and grabbed Xiao Bao, who was the first friend he had met in this world. With his other hand, he dragged over a stool and began to chatter, "Have you eaten? Come and eat with us."

"Long time no see! I almost didn't recognize you. You've grown so tall!"

Xiao Bao was pulled down to sit by Yun Ci. He mechanically took the fried skewers, his expression blank, as if he had forgotten to react to the sudden surprise.

He didn't expect Yun Ci to still be willing to talk to him. Was he dreaming?

"Who is he, Yun Ci?" Xiao Hou asked. "Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

Tian Qingqing nodded, "Mhm."

"I've never seen him before, Yun Ci. When did you two meet?"

The shop assistants kept interrupting.

Yun Ci said with a smile, "You can call him Xiao Bao. He's my first friend here, uh... my first friend."

"Xiaobao?"

"Nice to meet you, Xiao Bao. My name is..."

"Xiao Bao, I think we should call him Xiao Dan (Little Coward), he looks like a coward."

Xiao Hou grinned and picked up a large chicken leg for Xiao Bao, saying, "Just call me Xiao Hou."

Mao Mao looked at Xiao Bao and said, "My name is Mao Mao."

Xiao Bao nervously responded to everyone's enthusiasm; he had never been surrounded by so many people talking to him before!

The only time I was surrounded by so many people was when I was being bullied. At this moment, all I could do was nervously repeat, "My name is Xiaobao," "My name is Xiaobao," "My name is Xiaobao."

The shop assistants asked many more questions, such as how she met Yun Ci and why they had never met before.

Upon learning that Xiao Bao was working at the Animal Husbandry Bureau, a disciple from the Beast Taming Peak even said he would look after Xiao Bao.

The shop assistants were too enthusiastic, and Xiao Bao felt uncomfortable.

Yun Ci patted Xiao Bao, "It's okay, don't be nervous, we're all family."

The shop assistants nodded, "Mmm!"

Xiao Bao looked at Yun Ci with bright eyes, and nodded emphatically, encouraged.

Everyone ate and chatted, having a lively conversation.

Xiao Bao gradually joined the conversation, although he only answered other people's questions.

Yun Ci was also very happy and let everyone eat as much as they wanted.

......

night.

Yun Ci was lying in bed replying to messages.

The little ones were also playing with their communication gadgets.

[Ximen Yichen: Senior Brother Yun, do you really like men?]

[Yun Ci: Mm.]

This time, it took a long time for Ximen Yichen to send a message.

[Ximen Yichen: Okay, I understand. (smiles)]

Yun Ci casually sent an emoji and then opened other people's messages.

[Chu Ziming: Yun Ci, pay attention to me, please. (Image of a puppy carrying a leash)]

[Yun Ci: ...Are you a dog?]

[Chu Ziming: Woof!]

Yun Ci burst out laughing.

[Ye Qingqing: Let's rest at the inn for a bit. We'll arrive at the sect tomorrow. (smug)]

[Ye Qingqing: (Image)]

[Ye Qingqing: We ran into Xu Tianwei and his group.]

[Ye Qingqing: Ahhh, Yun Ci, I've finally seen you alive! I'm so excited and thrilled (struggling)]

......

Miscellaneous Service Peak.

In a dark room.

Xiao Bao stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.

Hearing the occasional laughter from beside him, Stone rolled over.

Xiao Bao's laughter hasn't stopped since he came back! He's starting to wonder if Xiao Bao's happiness has caused a problem with his head!

"Stone, are you asleep?" Xiao Bao asked.

"...No, what's wrong?"

In the darkness, Xiao Bao smiled and said, "Yun Ci said I was his first friend, but actually Yun Ci was also my first friend, and you are my second friend."

The stone didn't speak.

Xiao Bao continued, "Today was the happiest day of my life. I was surrounded by so many people talking to me. Yun Ci introduced me as his first friend. So this is what it feels like to have courage. It feels a little unreal... Good things always happen around Yun Ci. I didn't tell Yun Ci about Hei Zi."

The stone remained silent.

Xiao Bao continued talking to himself, "Yun Ci also asked me to help out at his restaurant, so I need to get up early tomorrow."

The stone looked as if it were asleep.

Xiao Bao asked, "Do you want to be friends with Yun Ci? I can introduce you two. Maybe you can help out at the restaurant."

Stone flipped over instantly. "Is that okay?"

Xiao Bao, "So you weren't asleep."

Stone,"......"

Haha, after having a meal with Yun Ci, this idiot is now joking with him!
