Bai Yu walked towards the girl step by step. At this moment, the girl felt that the man with the faint smile in front of her was still a docile sheep. However, she didn't know what kind of monster was under the sheep's skin. At this moment, the girl felt a sense of danger that she hadn't felt in a long time.

Bai Yu suddenly threw a punch at the girl. The girl didn't intend to block it with her physical body. Instead, she summoned a series of thick ice shields. However, she only heard a series of cracking sounds, and then she saw the fist coming towards her. Esdeath was about to block when she felt a pain on her forehead.

"Ok?"

Bai Yu didn't strike, but instead flicked the girl's forehead with his finger. He didn't use any force, but you could still feel it. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Then, young lady, General~ you've lost~ you couldn't hurt me at all~"

The girl gritted her teeth, finally sighed, and frowned, saying, "Why didn't you use your full strength?"

"Why did I kill you? If I had to say... it's because you showed no hostility, making me feel like a docile lamb."

"You... it's a dog-eat-dog world, I've lost, so I won't argue with you, but I won't just let it go like this..."

"Alright, it's good that you admit defeat. So, miss, would you like to have a meal or just rest here for a while?"

The girl's heart skipped a beat when she looked at Bai Yu, who was leaning on the table and smiling gently at her...

Time seemed to stand still. The girl stood there, staring blankly at Bai Yu, while Bai Yu stood there waiting for the girl's answer.

"Hmm? Could there be side effects to using that ice power? Why isn't it talking?"

"You... eh?"

Just as the girl was lost in thought, she felt a warm sensation on her forehead and slowly came back to her senses. When she looked up, she saw Bai Yu's puzzled gaze and the warm, slender hand resting on her forehead.

"No signs of fever, it seems he hasn't realized he lost yet?"

The girl looked at Bai Yu and felt her heart beat a little faster for some reason. Bai Yu saw that the girl had come to her senses and smiled, saying, "As long as it's not a life-or-death battle or endangers family and friends, it doesn't matter. After all, it's just a friendly spar, isn't it?"

The girl glanced at Bai Yu and then suddenly smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"White Feather."

"It's not the border of the empire, but it's another world... How old are you?"

"20"

Are they the same age...?

Bai Yu saw the girl talking to herself and was about to say something when she said, "This is a restaurant. I've been out exercising and I'd like to eat something. What do you have here?"

"Anything can be made as long as you have the ingredients."

After thinking for a moment, the girl said, "Then give me something that's both stimulating and replenishes my energy!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Do you have spicy food in your world?"

"Have!"

"Can you eat spicy food?"

"can."

Bai Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Then I know what you should eat. Please wait a moment, Lucifer, would you like something for a late-night snack?"

Chocolate biscuits~

"You're really persistent! Okay, but you can't eat too many high-calorie foods tonight, so I'll just make you one."

Bai Yu walked into the kitchen as she spoke, and the shop returned to silence. After finding a seat, the girl took off her white hat and put it aside, tossed her smooth blue hair, placed her military knife to one side, and looked around with her arms crossed.

Although the girl is a battle maniac, she is also a normal person. No normal person would dislike beautiful things, including this clean and tidy little shop in front of her that exudes a warm and cozy atmosphere.

After looking around, the girl paused for a moment when she saw the light. It was much prettier than the lights in her world, and it wasn't hot at all. It had a warm and cozy feel, and if you looked at it for a while, you would be slightly lost in thought.

The night is quiet, and a gentle breeze awakens the wind chimes. The crisp sound, combined with the quiet and warm atmosphere of the shop, and the faint fragrance of flowers, lingers in the air. Sitting in a soft chair and staring at the warm and gentle light, you will slowly immerse yourself in this tranquility, and slowly feel the fatigue you haven't felt all day in this relaxation.

The shop had become unusually cool due to the girl's earlier attack, and nothing could better complement the cool night and the tranquil atmosphere...

The girl was awakened by the sound of wind chimes. She took a breath, turned to look at Lucifer who was staring at her, and said, "Why are you staring at me?"

Lucifer said softly, "I'm just a little curious about the guests from another world. I didn't sense any magic in the ability you used before, so what about the power that conjured ice?"

"Teigu, that's my Teigu."

"Imperial Arms? Never heard of that before, but its ice power is pretty good; it can even freeze spacetime~"

Hearing this, the girl frowned and said, "How did you know?"

"Because this is very easy~"

"who are you?"

Lucifer gave a strange smile and said, "Me? Lucifer, the Queen of Hell~"

The girl didn't know who Lucifer was, but no matter what world or who the people were, there was one place that everyone knew existed: Hell. The girl was somewhat surprised; this woman before her was actually the master of Hell?!

Just as the girl was about to say something, Lucifer continued, "She's also the proprietress here..."

Upon hearing this, the girl raised an eyebrow, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. Before she could react, she heard a voice say, "One of them..."

The young woman was stunned. If she wasn't mistaken, this woman named Lucifer was that man's partner, but she wasn't the only one in that position. How could the Queen of Hell share her lover with another woman?!

Lucifer noticed the girl's expression and said with a displeased look, "What can I do if I don't want to? Besides, they're not bad. If I had to say, I was the last one to arrive, but I managed to catch up later."

"Them? Are they all at your level?"

Lucifer shook his head casually and said, "How could that be? Most of them are ordinary people, and some are still in school."

"I'm starting to doubt whether you really are the master of hell."

"Really?"

As Lucifer spoke, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He pointed his finger at the girl's location, and then he saw the girl's milky white cheeks turn pale, and some sweat appeared on her forehead. She felt as if a large hand was squeezing her heart, as if it would burst at any moment.

After withdrawing his power, Lucifer smiled and said, "This is just a little bit of magic. Do you believe me now?"

The girl nodded, then frowned and said, "How could a strong person like you accept a group of weak people sharing your lover? That's unreasonable."

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Why can't I accept it?"

This question stunned the girl. She said in a deep voice, "The strong prey on the weak. The weak can be protected by the strong, but standing with the strong is an insult to them."

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "So, I accepted it. Nothing happened~ That jerk still treats everyone the same. I didn't lose any strength, and I didn't feel insulted. It's actually much easier and more enjoyable than staying in Hell every day~"

The girl was taken aback. Lucifer casually said, "The law of the jungle is for survival, not for a life. Who needs the law of the jungle to live a stable life? Even if it's for conquest, it will eventually come to an end. By then, all that's left is boredom." (Those who agree, please comment "1".)

This left the girl speechless. Indeed, the law of the jungle is the law of nature, but that's for survival. If you have everything you need and your life can be rich and stable, why would you want to experience the brutal struggle of the jungle?

"Lucifer, what are you saying to the guest?"

"Nothing? Is it done?"

Bai Yu nodded and pushed the food cart out, placing a steaming hot chocolate cookie in front of Lucifer. Lucifer sniffed it and smiled, saying, "I really can't resist your cooking~"

"Otherwise, how could we keep you, our little queen?"

"Humph~"

As the girl was deep in thought, she smelled a fragrance and then saw a hot, sweet chocolate cookie in front of her.

The girl looked up at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression. Bai Yu simply smiled gently and said softly, "I don't think any girl would dislike sweets~ Have something to eat first~"

"Girls?"

"Yeah, even if she's a battle maniac, she's still a young girl in the prime of her life~ So please enjoy your meal~"

After saying that, Bai Yu turned and left the kitchen. Lucifer, holding a fork, ate his biscuit while glaring at Bai Yu with annoyance. This jerk is absolutely not allowed to read romance comics anymore! Absolutely!

Chapter 123 A Feast for One, A Lonely and Resilient Journey Forward (Please Subscribe~)

Lucifer wasn't sure if Bai Yu was actually learning how to flirt with girls from romance comics, but she knew very well that no girl would dislike such behavior.

Just as Lucifer had said, the girl was completely bewildered as she stared at the chocolate chip cookie in front of her. Someone actually thought she was an ordinary girl? This...

The rich chocolate sauce, with added honey for extra sweetness, sprinkled with coconut flakes, and baked to perfection, makes this biscuit not only delicious but also visually appealing.

After watching for a while, the girl finally followed Lucifer's example and picked up a knife and fork, cutting off a piece. The aroma mixed with the heat hit her hands, feeling warm and comfortable. The knife cut through the cake without any resistance, as if she were cutting into a cake. The chocolate sauce flowed down the cut surface, and the bits of hazelnut sauce added a unique and tempting touch.

The girl looked at the coconut flakes on the pastry, which seemed like the veil of a charming noblewoman—tempting, alluring, mysterious, and noble.

Improving the appearance of a dish may not be as complicated as you think. It may only require a few slices of carrot, a strawberry or two, or, like this "beautiful lady" disguised as a chocolate chip cookie, just a little bit of shredded coconut.

Upon tasting, the sweet and smooth honey flavor, along with the subtle honey aroma and rich chocolate flavor, and the unique nutty aroma of hazelnut spread, combined with the thin yet elastic crust, and the aroma and unique texture of coconut flakes, enhance the overall quality of the pastry.

Despite this, it didn't steal the spotlight, steadfastly fulfilling its role as the main attraction. The initial sweetness, the lingering honey sweetness with a hint of tartness, the double richness of hazelnut spread and chocolate—everything was so smooth. That sweetness, perhaps, is the taste of love—sweet, alluring...

The girl was enjoying the chocolate crepe in front of her with a look of pure bliss. For some reason, the more she ate, the happier she felt. It wasn't the kind of joy of conquest that comes with battle, but rather the kind of joy that comes with a girl's heart.

"there is none left?"

Before she knew it, the girl had finished the entire chocolate cookie. Lucifer, forking a piece of cookie, smiled and said, "Isn't this still showing the behavior of a normal girl?"

The girl looked at Lucifer without saying anything, only staring at the little bit of chocolate sauce dripping from the plate, lost in thought. Lucifer, on the other hand, watched the girl with great interest.

"Huh? Who is it... This... How can this girl, Longdan, even ask such a question?!"

The girl looked at Lucifer, who was suddenly blushing and pressing a glowing square box against his hand. She felt that something was off. Was it normal for the legendary, terrifying master of hell to be like this?

"Have you always been like this?"

While replying to the message, Lucifer casually remarked, "This is what happened after she came to this jerk's place. This girl is really..."

The girl glanced at the kitchen, and after a long while, whispered, "Is this the legendary power of love...?"

"That's roughly the idea."

"You... um? What do you taste like?"

Just as the girl was about to say something, she was interrupted by a fragrant aroma. It was a very fragrant smell, with a slightly spicy sensation, but mostly it was fragrant, a pure fragrance. If there were any gourmets present, they would definitely recognize it as the aroma of chili oil.

Click...click...

A few crackling sounds of ice cubes rang out. Just as the girl was wondering what this tasted like, Bai Yu pushed out a food cart. On the cart was a large bowl, and next to it was a bowl of fragrant rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds.

"what is this?"

"This is something you've definitely never eaten before~ This is called Maocai, it's stimulating, it can replenish your energy and it can also have a calming effect~ Try it~ This is sour plum drink, I added ice cubes for you, but you probably won't find it too cold~ So please enjoy."

The girl swallowed hard as she looked at the hot pot in front of her. Spicy and sour flavors are always the best choice to whet one's appetite. What could be more tempting than a bowl of ingredients bathed in red oil?

Maocai is similar to hot pot and mala tang, but they are fundamentally different. The aroma of maocai is incomparable to that of mala tang, just as a mini hot pot cannot be compared to a beef tallow hot pot.

The most amazing thing about Maocai is that, like hot pot, you can "stew" anything and add anything to it. It all depends on your own preferences and ideas.

Smooth beef, sticky corn, crisp lotus root slices, bamboo shoots, lettuce, tender luncheon meat, chewy pork, springy shrimp, soft blood curd, uniquely flavored basa fish, and so on and so forth—anything you can think of can be "stir-fried".

A large bowl full of ingredients is slowly cooked in the bright red broth, a process that feels like taking a bath. After that, the soaked ingredients are taken out one by one and placed in a bowl, then drizzled with braising sauce and finally topped with fragrant red oil. This is the second and final part: the hot spring.

Sprinkle some cilantro and chopped green onions on top, and you'll find it incredibly rich. That's the essence of Maocai – everything you could want to eat is in this one bowl.

It's not numbingly spicy, nor is it excessively hot; the only word that sums it up is "fragrant." When you pick up your chopsticks and randomly grab a piece, you don't need to know what you're picking up; you just need to know that everything in this bowl is something you want to eat.

Some people might say that eating maocai is not as good as eating mala tang, and eating maocai is not as good as eating hot pot. However, maocai is more fragrant than mala tang, and hot pot is indeed better than maocai. But hot pot is not a choice for when you are alone.

Only with maocai can you throw in all your favorite ingredients like you would with hot pot, and drizzle them with tempting red oil. No matter what kind of bowl you have, no matter what your mood is, seeing this colorful and abundant bowl of maocai makes everything else unimportant, and everything can be healed. Don't underestimate the reputation of this hot pot dish!

Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) is always a feast for one. Sitting in a quiet shop, listening to the evening breeze and the playful sounds of wind chimes, the ingredients dipped in chili oil are placed on rice, and the moment the broth seeps in, the day has truly come to an end...

Lonely and stubborn, relaxed and enjoying life, a sip of plum juice soaked in ice during leisure time, so refreshing...

What kind of food is best suited for a solitary night, a night for someone who has been striving alone? The night continues; after savoring this sense of satisfaction and relaxation, it's time to pick up your burdens again and move on...

At this moment, Bai Yu and Lucifer smiled as they watched the girl eating in a way that was completely out of character. Sure enough, a girl is just a girl, nothing more...

Chapter 124 Treating the World as a Gift (Please Subscribe~)

A feast for one, a satisfaction for one—this is the best reward for those who persevere. The night provides a stage for everyone, and a moment of tranquility for every busy person.

Whether it's meat or vegetables, mushrooms or meatballs, everything tastes so harmonious when paired with chili oil. You won't care which one tastes better, because when paired with rice, you only need to think it tastes good; that's your only task.

gurgling...

When the last sip of plum juice was finished, all that was left in the glass was a pile of ice cubes, and the remaining red oil in the bowl was probably the troubles discarded after relaxing.
