Chapter 64 Daily Life with He Xi

Meanwhile, at Death Song Academy.

Carl was observing Morgana's every move through the large clock.

Karl sighed helplessly after seeing his opponent use spatial jump directly.

"Why!"

"Liang Bing, where did your composure and calmness go?"

"However, your recklessness is a good thing; it helps me attract He Xi's attention!"

"Let me see what it is about Earth that has attracted this Celestial King!"

On the other side, the villa.

"He Xi, I'm tired of your tea these days."

"How about trying this jar of Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Da Hong Pao?"

"Oh?"

He Xi, who was leaning against the balcony railing, gazing absently at the distant horizon, turned around when she heard the sound.

Ice-blue eyes fell on the seemingly ordinary tea canister in Su Yi's hand, with a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

These past two days, Su Yi has been following her around like a shadow, ostensibly to learn about the universe, but in reality, his eyes have never stopped learning.

He Xi was fully aware of this, but she didn't point it out.

On the contrary, they were happy to provide some knowledge that did not involve core secrets, and to observe this young male god in the process.

Over time, a subtle familiarity developed between the two.

Su Yi was shameless and felt perfectly justified in taking advantage of others to drink tea.

He Xi didn't mind; the Tiancheng specialty tea she brought was indeed exceptional.

Sometimes I find it quite amusing to watch Su Yi drink it like a cow chewing on a peony.

Seeing that Su Yi was actually returning the favor, He Xi became genuinely interested.

"Tea from Earth?"

She took the tea canister; it felt slightly heavy in her hand. The canister was made of some kind of dense ceramic, with a warm and smooth feel.

She opened the lid, brought it close, and took a gentle sniff.

A very unique fragrance wafted into my nose.

The fragrance was not overpowering, but it was layered and distinct, as if it contained the sedimentation of time, and it was completely different from any alien plant scent she knew.

"An interesting fragrance."

He Xi nodded and handed the tea canister back to Su Yi, "You brew it."

The tea from Tiancheng has been consumed for tens of thousands of years; it seems like a good idea to occasionally change the flavors of this young planet.

"Okay!"

Su Yi took the tea canister and walked excitedly towards the small tea table on the balcony.

The tea set made of an unknown material that He Xi had brought was already prepared on the table.

Following He Xi's usual method, Su Yi opened the teapot lid, grabbed a handful of tea leaves, and was about to throw them into the pot, preparing to pour in boiling water directly.

"stop!"

He Xi's voice carried a rare hint of urgency.

In a flash, she appeared beside the tea table, her slender, fair fingers gently pressing down on Su Yi's sinful wrist.

"Aren't you being incredibly wasteful of tea leaves?"

She frowned, looking at the large handful of tea leaves in Su Yi's hand, her eyes revealing the heartache a researcher feels when seeing precious samples being treated roughly.

"what?"

Su Yi was taken aback. He looked at the tea leaves in his hand and then at the teapot.

"Isn't that how you soak them? Just grab a handful, rinse with water, and you're done."

He used to do the same thing when he drank tea bags.

He Xi shook her head helplessly, released her hand, and gestured for Su Yi to put the tea leaves back into the canister.

"It seems you need to take a lesson on the basic etiquette and techniques of tea tasting."

She gracefully sat down at the head of the tea table, gesturing for Su Yi to sit opposite her.

"I've heard a little about the tea culture of the Blue Star civilization, especially your Dragon Kingdom. It's a unique wisdom that elevates plant-based beverages to the level of art and philosophy. Your actions just now were tantamount to using a stellar energy cannon to swat a mosquito."

Su Yi felt a little embarrassed by her words and scratched his head: "Then how do I get her?"

"Watch."

He Xi said no more and began her demonstration.

She first used a teaspoon to take out an appropriate amount of tea leaves from the jar, her movements light and precise, as if she were conducting a meticulous experimental sampling.

The tea leaves fell into the pure white tea caddy, which she gently shook, allowing Su Yi to observe the shape and color of the tea leaves.

"Observing the shape, color, and fragrance is the first step."

Next came warming the pot and scalding the cups; each step flowed smoothly through her hands.

She controls the water temperature with millimeter precision; with a flick of her fingertip, the water temperature in the kettle is fixed in the most suitable range.

Pour water, awaken the tea leaves, and brew...

Every movement carries an indescribable rhythm and beauty.

During the session, He Xi also explained the underlying principles: "Different teas require different water temperatures and steeping times to maximize their aroma and flavor while avoiding bitterness."

"This is similar to energy extraction and material property analysis."

Su Yi initially watched attentively and tried hard to remember the steps.

But soon, his attention was drawn to something else.

As he got closer, he could clearly smell the cool, ethereal fragrance emanating from He Xi.

It's not like the scent of flowers, nor like perfume; it's more like the fragrance of nature's renewal, refreshing and invigorating.

Sunlight danced on her silver hair, making her look almost unreal.

Occasionally, when she raises her hand or leans forward, her simple yet well-tailored scholar's robe outlines a breathtaking silhouette.

Su Yi felt a sense of exhilaration, his mind drifting away involuntarily, and even the pace of his studies slowed down.

"alright."

After an unknown amount of time, He Xi's cold voice pulled him back to reality.

She poured a pot of tea into two small teacups. The tea was bright orange-yellow, and the aroma rose with the steam, even more fragrant and captivating than when the tea was dry.

That's the process.

He Xi pushed one of the cups in front of Su Yi, "You try the next one."

"Huh? Me?"

Su Yi snapped out of his reverie and looked at the exquisite tea set.

I was so focused on admiring the scenery that I only vaguely remembered the steps, not the details...

"What's wrong?"

He Xi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Haven't learned it yet? That shouldn't be the case!"

"Given your demonstrated learning ability, you should be able to grasp such a simple process after watching it once, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yi blushed.

Can he say that his attention was completely off track just now?

However, for the sake of his pride as a man, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

"Who can't do that!"

"I just think it's too simplistic! How can this kind of manual work be as precise and efficient as directly setting up a program for control?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, He Xi narrowed her icy blue eyes slightly, and a half-smile appeared on her lips.

That smile made Su Yi's heart skip a beat.

"Since that's the case..."

""

He Xi leaned back slightly, looking at him with a leisurely air, and gestured for him to proceed.

"Then please invite our learned and talented Mr. Su Yi to brew us a pot of high-quality tea with great efficiency and precision."

"Let me, a humble woman, also see for myself."

Her tone was gentle, yet it carried an invisible pressure.

Su Yi was caught in a dilemma, so he could only take a deep breath and sit down in the main teapot seat as if being forced into a corner.

He recalled He Xi's actions just now and tried to activate the Dawn Engine to replay the memory.
