CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 387: BEAST GOD FOREST 10 (HUAIQING)

The Cook King Competition officially starts tonight.

Upon hearing it’s at night, Xuan Jiu got excited: "It’s dark at night, so they won’t notice if I cook poisonous mushrooms."

"I’m a judge, I heard that." Huaiqing reminded from the side.

"Baby, you can play deaf." Xiao Jinsheng raised her hand and patted the back of Huaiqing’s hand.

Huaiqing turned his hand to hold hers, and replied with a smile: "Alright."

Xuan Jiu’s gaze was cool and cold as he watched this sheep, who quietly attracted Xiao Jinsheng’s attention upon arrival.

A fox tail behind him fell, with one tail directly wrapping around from Xiao Jinsheng’s wrist to her arm.

Seeing Xuan Jiu’s growing desire to compete, Huaiqing chuckled softly: "Why such hostility towards me?"

"If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be able to enter this house." Huaiqing’s smile was friendly, but without warmth.

Having heard about this situation repeatedly after being reproached again and again.

Huaiqing decided to mock himself.

Sure enough, upon hearing this from Huaiqing, Xuan Jiu’s fox ears drooped down again.

The fox tail behind him swayed.

He simply extended another tail, wrapping it around Xiao Jinsheng’s waist.

Just as Xiao Jinsheng felt a bit constrained and reached to pull his tail, Xuan Jiu swayed slightly, falling into her embrace: "Family Head, my head hurts."

"Maybe this tent is too small."

"And there are too many people breathing inside the tent."

"I’m almost out of breath."

"So serious?" Xiao Jinsheng responded.

As for the fox’s love of drama, she had long seen through it.

Not exposing it, she went along according to her mood.

She was curious to see what Xuan Jiu wanted to act out this time.

However, Huaiqing directly thwarted Xuan Jiu’s drama queen intentions.

He spoke caringly: "Due to the lack of air circulation in the tent, the Fox King should go for a walk outside."

"No good!" Xuan Jiu rebuffed.

He hurriedly got up: "If I leave, won’t you be alone with her in the tent."

"This is the camp of Reishi Royal City, not White Tiger City. Since you’re the Prophet of White Tiger City, hurry and leave." Xuan Jiu urged.

"I can also be the Prophet of Reishi Royal City," Huaiqing replied.

He smiled at Xiao Jinsheng: "Not sure if Reishi Royal City would accept me?"

"Then there’s nothing I can do." Xuan Jiu smirked smugly, blocking in front of Xiao Jinsheng: "Now, the king of Reishi Royal City is me."

"Why not pass the throne to Xiaoxiao." Huaiqing suggested.

"Let her be king, then add you to the harem?" Xuan Jiu snorted coldly.

"Is there a problem with that?" Huaiqing was indifferent.

"Cunning fox, listen." Xuan Jiu’s eyes turned cold: "What’s so great about being king, in Beast God Forest, kings are everywhere."

"For her, it should be the best."

"Seize the Beast God position to give her."

"You’ve got a point," Huaiqing nodded while listening: "We can make her the Beast God."

"So, this time the Cook King Competition’s first place must be our person." Xuan Jiu spoke solemnly, reminding Huaiqing: "As a judge, you must lend a hand."

"Round and round, back to this?" Huaiqing explained: "Although I’m a judge, who gets first place in the Cook King Competition is still decided by Beast God Cliff."

"Apparently..." Huaiqing’s words paused, his gaze first falling on Xiao Jinsheng’s fox ears, saying with a smile: "You’ve already figured out how to hide the aura and block that mysterious power’s spying."

"In my prophecy, I saw that this power belongs to Beast God Cliff," Huaiqing stated.

"Then is this power good or bad for us?" Xiao Jinsheng was troubled.

"Neutral." Huaiqing replied: "This power lacks intelligence."

"In the scenes seen in the prophecy, this power’s existence seems more like it’s guarding all things in Beast God Forest."

"That’s good then." Xiao Jinsheng sighed in relief.

After all, she and Xuan Jiu mutually concealed their auras.

If the power from Beast God Cliff is the one spying on them.

As ’invisible’ she and Xuan Jiu wandered on Beast God Cliff, even if invisible, it would be hard not to be discovered.

If it is neutral, it’s easier to deal with.

Upon arriving at Reishi Royal City, Huaiqing had no intention of leaving.

Even during the afternoon tea time before the competition started, Huaiqing stayed in Reishi Royal City enjoying food and drink.

He even ate Xuan Jiu’s share.

After finishing, he commented: "Not good."

"Hurry up and leave!" Xuan Jiu the fox, went mad, pointing outside: "Hurry up and leave, eat if you want, if not, get out."

Huaiqing didn’t pay attention to Xuan Jiu.

Instead, he asked Xiao Jinsheng warmly: "Xiaoxiao, in the past two years searching for you in Beast God Forest, I’ve discovered many new ingredients and developed new recipes."

"Want to try them?"

"New dishes? Of course, of course." Xiao Jinsheng nodded repeatedly.

"It’s inconvenient here, let’s go to the Realm." Huaiqing took out his Interstellar Box.

Inside were all the ingredients he collected over the past two years.

"I want to go to the Realm too." Xuan Jiu inserted himself with a foot.

"Fox Father, someone is looking for you outside." Caicai’s voice sounded outside the tent.

Xuan Jiu furrowed his brow, his red eyes cooling, a natural impatience.

"Fox Father, several kings from various royal cities have come to see you." Caicai kept calling.

Xuan Jiu didn’t want to pay attention, a fox tail wrapped tightly around Xiao Jinsheng’s leg.

"Fox Father, these kings seem to be here to give you treasures." Caicai continued calling.

"Don’t need them!" Xuan Jiu gritted back.

"But my Host would really like these treasures." Caicai hesitated.

"Hmm?" Xuan Jiu shivered.

The red eyes turned to look at Xiao Jinsheng, words quickening: "You go to the Realm first, I’ll check what treasures there are and join you shortly."

Something that Xiao Jinsheng would like?

He must collect it!

Once Xuan Jiu left, Huaiqing followed Xiao Jinsheng into the Realm.

The two of them directly teleported to the small villa moved into the Realm.

In the first floor kitchen of the small villa, Huaiqing started taking out ingredients one by one from the Interstellar Box.

All were treated, constantly kept fresh and preserved.

"What do you want to eat today?" Huaiqing asked with a smile.

"Anything, I don’t worry about your cooking skills." Xiao Jinsheng nodded.

But seeing Huaiqing standing still as if stuck after arranging the ingredients.

Xiao Jinsheng curiously leaned over: "Isn’t there a new recipe, are you deciding what to make?"

"I’m just wondering if your taste has changed in the past two years." Huaiqing looked down at her.

His blue eyes gazed into Xiao Jinsheng’s, filled with unabashed longing.

"Of course, it hasn’t." Xiao Jinsheng replied with an awkward smile: "In fact, for me, it’s been less than a week."

"I know." Huaiqing whispered.

Xiao Jinsheng stood face to face with him, already close together.

Yet, Huaiqing still squeezed a foot between Xiao Jinsheng’s legs, bringing them tightly together.

He reached out, pulling Xiao Jinsheng into a tight embrace, burying his head beside her ear.

His warm breath and affection: "Xiaoxiao, I’ve missed you so much."

He hadn’t expected a competition in the Cloud World, with everyone simply climbing the Cloud Ladder.

But it caused him and Xiao Jinsheng to be separated for two years.

"During these two years, I couldn’t find you, couldn’t foretell you, and never saw them." Huaiqing whispered weakly.

In order to find Xiao Jinsheng, yet also avoid exposing her.

He mainly searched for those rivals more commonly beastified.

Hoping through them, he could surely find Xiao Jinsheng.

This time he accepted the invitation to be a Cook King Competition judge, knowing a Reishi Royal City’s king was a white fox, and this fox was good at cooking.
