Chapter 7 Light and Painful
"I will handle everything, don't let it go!" Constance glanced at Lianjia coldly, and walked into the cave in front of him first. It seemed that it was filled with some inexplicable hostility towards Lianjia. The latter was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but murmur: "What did I do? It seems that this is the first time I have seen it since I came to this dungeon..."
"Because justice and evil are like water and fire, sorry, the justice I mean is not referring to you!" He Taiping rolled his eyes and retorted in a low voice. Immediately afterwards, he bumped into the black dragon that stopped moving forward and hit a wall in front of "justice".
Shaking his head gently, the black dragon showed an extremely strange expression and pointed to the front. There, the voice of a girl was coming—
"No, you can't do this! It will hurt a lot!"
"Don't do this, would you please be a little slower? Be gentler and I will help you!"
"Yes, this is great, do you feel it? Then continue, just be gentler, and turn over again!"
The voice was very crisp, as if it was the usual voice of Xiao Su. So the person who talked to her should be the Fire Lord. But at this moment, the meaning of the conversation was full of evil meaning, which made people unable to help but think. He Taiping stroked his chin speechlessly, and some kind of inappropriate scene appeared in his mind. So, was the Fire Lord similar to the strange uncle, and Xiao Su's loli had been...
"Damn it, I love Loli too!" With a low curse, He Taiping, who was full of blood, suddenly lost his mind. He suddenly passed Constance and jumped into the cave in front of him. Before he stood firm, he shouted loudly: "Bastard, let go of the little Loli immediately! I want to punish the moon instead of... Oops!"
Unlike imagined, in the center of the red cave, a human-shaped flame was squatting in front of the grill, and he was tirelessly using the flame to grind the magic rabbit on the iron rack. He hummed a low folk song in his mouth, and his expression seemed very pleasant. If you don’t consider his overall image, you can completely think that this is a Xinjiang native who sells mutton skewers at the night market.
Next to this flame, the cute twelve-year-old girl was sitting on the stone, holding her chin and watching, and from time to time, she made a reminder to the flame monarch to better barbecue the magic rabbit. But the barbecue technique of the professor was too bad. After only two minutes, the magic rabbit was completely charred in the out-of-control fire...
"This is not barbecue at all, this is cremation!" He Taiping touched his earlobe and sighed softly. The same helpless sighed, the Fire Monarch was also the one who noticed the man rushing into the cave. The next moment, the scorching flame suddenly burst out with him as the core, and even He Taiping, who had a fire-type immune spell, felt unable to bear it.
"Flame, I said earlier that you don't have the talent for cooking, so you'd better give up this profession!" Constance appeared in the cave in time, blocking the rolling heat waves back. He Taiping, who was hiding behind it, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had an irritation that could not bear it. The flame monarch, who almost existed as the Black Dragon, had such a weak and cute name - "Flame"...
After accepting this title for granted, after seeing the Black Dragon's figure clearly, the flame monarch restrained the flame in a little frustrated, and the light around him suddenly became dark: "Okay, Xiao Hei, I admit that I failed again! But this time it is really different. With Xiao Su's guidance, I am really close to success."
"Little Hei?" He Taiping petrified again and finally laughed wildly unbearably. He could not believe that the majestic Constance actually had such an interesting nickname. In fact, it was not only He Taiping who lost his image so much, but even Lian Jia, who was originally worried about his sister's safety, stroked the stone wall at this moment, hiding and laughing.
"Shut up!" The black dragon and the Fire Lord looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment. They then shouted softly, causing the two humans to stop laughing tactfully.
In the strange silence, Constance gently squirted out a dragon breath, pointed to the girl who had already run to Lianjia and said, "Flame, I want to take this girl away, just treat it as compensation for you taking me a 'toy' a hundred years ago."
"No, no!" The Fire Lord was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with the splashing sparks, "If you want something else, you can do it yourself! However, this girl is the key to my learning to cook, and I must not let you take it away!"
Lianjia's expression changed slightly. He reached out and pulled Xiao Su behind him. His left hand had already grasped a rock beside him, as if he was ready to attack at any time. The black dragon looked at her with a warning look, then turned to look at the burning flames, and said in a deep voice: "Flame, this girl is my toy, she was just lost by chance. You have no right to detain her! And with your cooking talent, even if you learn a thousand times, you will not be able to make a food that you can swallow."
Such merciless sarcasm immediately angered the flame monarch opposite. In the rolling wave of air, his body expanded several times, almost extending to the top of the rock wall, and any object he touched was completely qi. The black dragon came forward without fear, and between its claw blades, there was a cold light, and a few snowflakes even floated down above it, and even the scorching waves could not melt them.
But at the moment when the fierce fight was about to break out, a gentle male voice suddenly came from the rock wall behind the black dragon: "If I can let the Fire Lord, you, learn how to roast it in half an hour..."
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
A ball of red mud fell from the black dragon's claw blade and barely hit He Taiping. Constance leaned over curiously, wondering what he could do to make the cooking idiot make a delicious dish in half an hour.
"Then, first of all, it's hair loss... What kind of expression do you have? Don't tell me you never plucked hair!" He Taiping looked at the flame monarch beside him who was as obedient as a primary school student, and really felt speechlessly looking at the sky. Fortunately, he calmed down in time and began to teach how to hollow out the belly of the demon bird, and how to apply it with stone salt so that the salty taste could penetrate the entire bird's body very well.
As the saying goes, becoming a good doctor after a long illness is actually the same in other aspects. He Taiping was a character who was eating, drinking and having fun in his previous life. After being exposed to more entertainment, he naturally learned about it for 70% or 80% of the time. Therefore, when it comes to cooking, although he dare not say how superb, he was more than enough to fool the creatures in this world.
In front of the flower rack where he was doing and guiding, let alone the flame monarch who was stunned by the sound of being stunned, even the Constance and Lianjia sisters beside him could not help swallowing their saliva. Especially Xiao Su, a girl who also had a research on cooking, shone with her beautiful big eyes and looked at him for a moment...
Ten minutes later, a demon bird was cured. In the surprised eyes of everyone, He Taiping suddenly smiled slightly, took the ball of red mud, and wrapped the entire demon bird. Immediately afterwards, the fragrant broad leaves of two underground trees were wrapped outside, forming a red mud ball. The flame monarch and the black dragon looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How to eat this? Could you eat it raw?"
"Of course not. This method is called beggar chicken, which is a very simple but delicious cooking method." He Taiping used the remaining red mud to pile up the hills on the ground and then put the mud balls into it. In fact, the reason why he chose this method was entirely because of its simplicity. Since the Fire Monarch cannot operate complex cooking, this simple baking that does not require any skills is the most suitable for him.
"Okay, the next thing to do is to light the fire!" Under He Taiping's instructions, the flame monarch snapped his fingers suspiciously, and a small ball of flame separated from his body completely wrapped the red mud mound. After more than ten minutes, in addition to the burning smell brought by the flame burning, a faint fragrance also emitting a faint fragrance in the red mud mound, and it became more and more intense.
"It's OK!" Smelling this fragrance, He Taiping nodded gently and directed the flame monarch to recall the flame. Without any more instructions, Constance, who was impatient, had already used his dragon claws to push away the red mud mound and fished out the mud mass wrapped in broadleafs. Its claw blade gently swung over, and the layer of mud that had been burned hard suddenly cracked. A fragrance that was so rich that it seduced the stomach suddenly overflowed into the air...
"Wait, why are you panic!" He Taiping gently patted the front paws of the black dragon that had reached over, and picked up the roasted bird that was still a little hot, tore it into several parts, and distributed it to the several people present in the spot to swallow. However, when he handed a roasted leg to the flame monarch who was almost stretching out his hand in his eyes, he was slightly stunned. For a ball of flame, could he really feel the taste of delicious food?
His doubts were quickly answered. While taking the roasted legs, the monarch burning with flames had solidified and turned into the shape of a red-haired man. Then, he stuffed the whole roasted legs into his mouth without hesitation and chewed them. Of course, this kind of eating look was ugly, but the few people next to him were not much better. Except for Xiao Su still tasting the shredded pork in small mouthfuls, the other two were as crazy as African refugees. After eating his portion, the Black Dragon began to lick the dragon's claws and looked at Xiao Su with a fierce look.
"Children should not eat too much!" But before it took action, Lian Jia had quickly snatched the barbecue from Xiao Su's hand. In order to prevent the black dragon from snatching her, she even spitted a little saliva on it. Constance's eyes were filled with anger, and he could almost kill the shameless human. Xiao Su looked at her empty hands and stood there for a while, with a wave of bright big eyes already shining...
"You two are so shameless!" He Taiping sighed and handed the portion in his hand to Xiao Su who could rain at any time. He should of course be full of love when treating Loli, especially the cute Loli. Looking at the lost barbecue, Xiao Su's expression suddenly became cloudy and sunny. She cheered, suddenly raised her toes, and gently kissed He Taiping's cheek. That was probably the best way for Loli to express her gratitude.
"Good people are indeed rewarded..." Feeling the fragrance on their left face, He Taiping did not forget to brag while fluttering: "What is this? In my hometown, the dishes are divided into eight major cuisines, namely Lu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Huai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, and Anhui; in addition, there are various differences in cooking methods, such as frying, stir-frying, boiling, and stewing; and the tools used are also diverse..."
