While Shenlian Yingyue and Xiao Yun were busy sharing knowledge, her thoughts were still focused on devising a plan to rescue her master from Shen Xian’s clutches.
"Of all the nine realms, the Demon Realm stands out as one of the most advanced," Xiao Yun remarked, appreciating the warmth she radiated while sipping the grape milk she offered him.
The grape milk was a special treat he had gathered during his visit to Earth. Thanks to the Ethereal Small World, everything stored within it remained perpetually fresh.
As she absorbed the information regarding the new worlds, her mind drifted toward crafting her rescue strategy. Suddenly, a demon waiter approached, placing a plate of dishes she had ordered before her.
"What are these?" Shenlian Yingyue’s expression contorted in disbelief as she examined the peculiar fare laid out before her.
"Guest, these are the foods you requested," the demon waiter replied, raising an eyebrow at her reaction.
On the first plate, a mass of green objects lay, resembling a tangle of weeds. The second plate showcased cherries with an unsettling appearance, as if they were on the verge of bursting, their skin dotted with tiny, pulsating lights that gave them an ethereal glow.
Then came an assortment of bizarre blue forms, looking like clawed fingers grasping toward the sky. Finally, there was a peculiar item adorned with black spirals, its texture reminiscent of scaly skin.
Shenlian Yingyue: "......"
Choosing to avoid complications, she quickly dismissed the demon waiter with a nod, hiding her bewilderment.
"Master, your face is priceless; it’s as if you’ve just encountered a nightmare!" Xiao Yun chuckled, unable to contain his amusement as he noticed her reaction beneath her cloak.
"These look utterly revolting!" Xiao Qiu chimed in, emerging from the small world to join the merriment.
"Yunyun, Xiao Qiu, how about trying these delicacies?" Shenlian Yingyue asked, exasperation creeping into her voice, yet warmth danced in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun: "....."
Had he not known better, he might believe that his master was intentionally setting him up to sample the bizarre cuisine for her amusement.
Xiao Qiu: "...."
With a horrified expression, he shook his head, as if in the presence of something truly revolting.
"Master, you should give these a try. You might actually enjoy them," Xiao Yun suggested with a genuine smile.
Xiao Qiu joined in, urging her to take a bite.
With trembling hands, Shenlian Yingyue inhaled deeply. Trusting Xiao Yun, she resolved to brave it and picked up a cluster of the green, weed-like items, ready to taste them.
To her surprise, their sweetness was reminiscent of the juicy lychee found back on Earth. The flavor burst forth, akin to a blend of strawberry and pear, enhanced by a citrus zest and floral notes of rose. The texture was reminiscent of jelly, a stark contrast to the coarse grass and weeds surrounding them.
"What are these?" Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"These are Grass Lychees. They bloom exclusively in the Demon Realm, thriving in areas devoid of sunlight," Xiao Yun casually tossed one into his mouth.
"Are they really that good?" Xiao Qiu eyed them warily.
"Absolutely," Xiao Yun replied, rolling his eyes in exasperation.
