Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

The appearance of the mysterious voice made Huo Yuhao immediately alert. He looked around carefully to find the owner of the voice.

When he first came to this valley, he tried to release his spiritual sharing to explore the surrounding environment, but this seemingly beautiful valley was actually filled with a strange energy, which greatly suppressed his mental power.

At this moment, the owner of the voice appeared. He was a handsome young man in his late twenties, with long blond hair, and an easy-going manner. He walked up to Huo Yuhao with a sunny smile on his face.

Noticing Huo Yuhao's warning, he still said gently: "Relax, I promise you, no one here can hurt you. If I want to harm you, I must be unlucky first."

Huo Yuhao didn't feel any fluctuations in soul power from the blond young man, but he knew that this showed how unfathomable the other party was.

To be able to bring his soul body to this place so easily, I don’t know what means he used.

"Come with me, you are a guest after all, so of course you have to treat me well."

The blond young man turned around and walked onto a path leading into the valley. He waved to Huo Yuhao and motioned for him to follow.

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, temporarily put away the caution in his heart, and followed after him in large strides.

As the trail enters the valley, various kinds of celestial beings and flowers are planted beside the road, which are natural and earthly treasures and have a refreshing fragrance.

While leading the way, the blond young man said apologetically: "I feel a little ashamed to say that I was asked to meet you, but I couldn't find your coordinates. I just happened to catch an abnormally large energy fluctuation on the mainland. I tried searching there, and sure enough I found you."

There was a hint of helplessness and shame in his smile: "Fortunately, I started one step faster than that person, otherwise the opportunity I finally caught would have been wasted."

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, guessing that the person the blond young man was talking about was most likely Electrolux.

He asked: "I wonder if your senior has gone to great lengths to meet me. Do you have any advice?"

The blond young man waved his hand casually: "I am also entrusted by others, so I just want to have a casual chat with you. Relax and relax."

Huo Yuhao couldn't feel any pressure, as if the other party really just wanted to have a casual chat with him.

After walking for less than ten minutes, a pavilion appeared in the middle of the valley. There is a wooden deck chair in the middle of the pavilion. On the chair lies an old man with gray hair, closing his eyes and meditating.

Noticing the approach of the blond young man and Huo Yuhao, he raised his eyelids slightly and gave orders to the blond young man: "Finally found it? Go and cook. It's almost time for dinner."

The blond young man sighed and said with a wry smile: "I really can't take any time off at all."

He reached out to Huo Yuhao again: "Come on, let's chat while cooking. I don't know how long we can talk."

After walking through the pavilion under the leadership of the blond young man, there was a luxurious courtyard not far behind, sitting quietly in the middle of a beautiful valley. There were several children chasing and playing in the courtyard.

Huo Yuhao followed him into one of the large rooms. As soon as he stepped through the door, Huo Yuhao recognized what this place was for.

This is a kitchen, with an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. A wide variety of ingredients are neatly placed in the food preparation area, and there is also an area dedicated to cooking with various kitchen utensils.

"What a professional kitchen." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

There was a hint of pride in the blond young man's wry smile: "There are many people eating, so naturally the cooking area should be bigger."

Huo Yuhao thought of the children and old people he saw just now and asked, "Do you need my help?"

The blond young man smiled and waved: "Little guy, do you also know how to cook?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said: "I am more or less a cook, and I have some knowledge of cooking."

"Oh?" This answer aroused a lot of interest in the blond young man.

He was entrusted by someone to meet a certain talent who might appear on this continent, but there has always been a strange force hindering his monitoring.

This time he got the right candidate by mistake, and he didn't have time to conduct a long-term observation. Therefore, this was also the first time he met Huo Yuhao, and he didn't understand his preferences.

Hearing that Huo Yuhao thought he had some knowledge of cooking made the blond young man even more curious.

But he still refused: "Forget it, there is no reason to let the guests cook, I will do it."

The blond young man looked down at the ingredients and muttered: "We don't have much time, so let's make a cold dish."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange-shaped knife appeared between the fingers of his right hand. The blade is no more than five inches, and there is a strange pattern inscribed on the side of the blade, which emits a faint blue light and a cold chill.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown when he saw this knife. It didn't look like a kitchen knife, but its shape was more suitable for cutting fruits and vegetables.

The blond young man waved his left hand, and a large white plate flew in front of him, along with nine cucumbers of similar sizes.

At this moment, the blond young man moved, waving the knife with his right hand, causing the blue light to rotate above the plate. His speed is dazzling.

At the same time, the blue-haired young man was also chanting softly: "The place where the ghost's hand fell has been shaken by the sky, and the sculpture has turned into hundreds of swirling waves. The divine craftsmanship has been here for thousands of years. The sword rises and the waning moon reflects the cold spring."

Every time a word was read out, countless green bits fell from the cucumber's skin. When the whole poem was finished, the blade was taken back into the hands of the blond young man.

All the green debris fell neatly in the middle of the large disk, and none fell outside, forming a dark green circular pattern. On the disk, the nine cucumbers have changed their appearance.

Those were no longer nine cucumbers, but nine lifelike green dragon heads.

The blond young man suddenly waved his hand, and the plate began to spin rapidly. He continued to dance the knife, and the blue light flashed quickly like a drum again, making it impossible to see his movements clearly.

This time, he carved nine dragon tails.

The dragon head and tail are already in place, and the next step is the dragon body.

A small ice ball was thrown from the fingertips of the blond young man and landed in the center of the plate. A cold mist enveloped the dragons. The nine green dragons made of cucumbers suddenly seemed to be alive and began to jump up and down.

Connected between the dragon's head and tail are slices of cucumber as thin as cicada wings, which are on the verge of breaking at any time.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was so numb that he couldn't say anything.

The blond young man smiled and said: "This dish is called Jiuqing Shenlong Bingyunyin. It is a dish that I was famous for my knife skills in the past."

Huo Yuhao then clapped his hands and praised: "Yeah, what a great knife artist."

His tone was full of perfunctory, and at the same time, Huo Yuhao also added in his heart, at least it has five Michelin stars.

He cursed secretly in his heart.

Although this dish sounds so mysterious, it is essentially just an iced coir raincoat cucumber.

The blond young man heard the perfunctory tone in his tone, was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Oh? What, little guy, aren't you interested in my knife skills?"

"Senior's knife skills are indeed dazzling, but..." Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully, "Will processing it this way make cucumbers taste better?" This question confused the blond young man, and he replied: "Cucumbers can clear away heat. The ingredients that relieve the heat will naturally taste more refreshing with the help of my knife skills.”

He emphasized: "And this dish is meant to show off your skills. Since you know a little bit about cooking, you should also know the importance of knife skills."

Huo Yuhao took over and said: "I also know a little bit about knife skills, but in my opinion, heat and seasoning are more important. If it is not for showing off skills, there is no need to study too much in depth on knife skills."

"Oh? What's your reason?" The blond young man's curiosity was piqued again. He hadn't discussed cooking with a stranger for a long time.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the nine cucumber dragons on the big plate, chuckled, and asked, "Senior, how long does it take to make such a dish?"

The blond young man said: "As you can see, it only takes a few minutes to show off your skills."

“What if it’s other specialty dishes?”

"As short as a stick of incense, as long as several hours."

“How many people can you cook for?”

The blond young man replied: "I just cook for my wife, children and teacher."

As the chat progressed, the conversation between the two became more and more casual.

Huo Yuhao asked: "Senior, if you want to cook for as many people as possible, wouldn't this complicated and cumbersome knife skills become a useless burden?"

The blond young man smiled and said: "Little guy, how many hours can there be in a day? Even if you put all your energy into cooking, how many dishes can you produce? Can hundreds of people be satisfied?"

Huo Yuhao smiled softly and reached for his waist, trying to take out something from his storage belt.

But the right hand touched nothing.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he came to this place in the form of a soul body, and he didn't bring anything with him.

The blond young man noticed his movements and said, "Sorry, the storage device cannot be used here."

Huo Yuhao thought for a while and looked at the ingredients area: "Senior, can I borrow some ingredients from you?"

"Okay." The blond young man was very generous. He also wanted to see what Huo Yuhao would choose. There were all kinds of precious ingredients in his kitchen.

While waiting, he asked casually: "Isn't your storage device a bracelet or a ring?"

While looking for ingredients, Huo Yuhao replied: "Senior, as a cook, how can you wear something on your hands when cooking?"

The blond young man raised his eyebrows slightly, his anticipation for Huo Yuhao deepening.

But to his surprise, Huo Yuhao did not fall in love with those delicacies from the mountains and seas that looked delicious and valuable from the outside, but chose a few very common and inconspicuous things.

Salt, onions, ginger, garlic, fennel... without exception, are all seasonings.

The blond young man had been familiar with cooking for a long time and could see through Huo Yuhao's thoughts at once.

"Are you planning to use spices for seasoning?" The blond young man was a little disappointed. "Spices can indeed add flavor to dishes, but this is just a trick, and the deliciousness it can bring only goes so far."

"You have to know that there are countless rare ingredients in this world. The delicious food they contain does not need to be decorated with seasonings. They only need to be simply steamed and boiled, and they will have a fragrance that far exceeds that of centuries-old wine."

"If you use these low-level seasonings to cook those rare things, it will be a waste of resources."

Huo Yuhao retorted: "But how can there be so many rare treasures in the world? No matter how many rare treasures there are, they can only satisfy the appetite of a small number of people. Most people eat three meals a day, isn't it the most ordinary thing? Home-cooked food?”

"As long as you know what heat to use and what seasonings to add, even the most common poultry and livestock can make people salivate without any threshold. As long as you teach the method, let alone hundreds of people, there will be hundreds of thousands of people. Millions of people can also enjoy delicious food.”

"Senior, your cooking skills are indeed far superior to mine, which can be seen from your amazing knife skills. But if there is a competition between who can bring more delicious food to more people, I'm afraid I will win."

After saying that, he looked at the blond young man with some confidence.

The blond young man frowned and continued: "But if you are like this, it will be difficult for you to make any progress in your cooking skills."

Huo Yuhao still insisted: "If I can bring you [-]% of the delicious food with [-]% of your energy, senior, then I think it is worth it."

Faced with the other party who has different ideas, neither party is willing to give in.

After a brief silence, the blond young man smiled and shrugged: "It seems that none of us can convince anyone. There is no need to argue about right and wrong."

Huo Yuhao also responded with a smile.

He naturally admired the blond young man's cool knife skills, but would such knife skills really make the food more delicious?
  Not necessarily obvious, but it definitely makes the food more expensive.

Huo Yuhao couldn't stop complaining in his heart.

Not to mention carved into a blue dragon, even if it is carved into a CPU, a cucumber is still a cucumber.

The blond young man also gave this dish a cool name, called Jiuqing Shenlong Bingyun Yin. According to this naming idea, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes can also be called the golden-winged roc born in the fire.

The blond young man looked at Huo Yuhao with even more curiosity.

"Little guy, I can see your differences. No wonder you can arouse their interest."

After hearing these words, Huo Yuhao had a guess about the identity of the blond young man, but it has not been confirmed yet.

The blond young man continued: "There is a wonderful power in what you just said that I like. If conditions permit, I really want to observe you for a while longer to see if you are qualified to inherit my throne."

When the word "divine position" came out, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened slightly, but he was not surprised. Unexpectedly, it was reasonable, and just as he had guessed, the blond young man in front of him was a god.

He was now extremely wary of the concept of God, but facing the blond young man, he still asked, "Then why are the conditions not allowed?"

The blond young man replied: "Because the continent you are on is not my world. It is the hometown of another powerful god. He has been personally supervising this place on weekdays. We other gods rarely come to observe."

"It was because he was temporarily delayed today that I got this opportunity."

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is that powerful god the Poseidon?"

The blond young man nodded slightly: "Yes, but he is not just a sea god."
