Chapter 123 Cake Tasting Guide

Different parts of the cake have different ways of eating.

Cherry is the face of the cake, and there is only one on a piece. When Li Cheng tastes it, he will first lick it gently, and then pry open the skin and taste the sweet and delicious juice of the fruit with the tip of his tongue.

As for cream grapes, you have to be careful when tasting them. Although they are sweet and delicious, they are delicate after all. You should not eat them too hard to avoid damaging the skin.

When tasting the dish, you should also massage your hands and listen to the heavenly music-like sound of fruit. Only in this way can the cream grapes be loved by diners and exude the most juicy sweetness.

The chocolate crust is the most precious part of the cake. However, in general, the cake is equipped with a black chocolate crust.

This is because black can modify the appearance of the cake, cover up minor flaws on the cake, and add an exotic flavor and taste.

But the cake that Li Cheng is tasting now is not an ordinary cake.

The crispy crust she chose is white chocolate, which is a very good choice for the shape and taste of the cake itself.

If there is too much cream, it will look a little greasy when paired with the white crispy crust; if there is too little cream, it will be too dry and unable to fit perfectly with the crispy crust, allowing the flavor to blend into it.

The cake in front of you, named Vivian, does not have these two problems at all. There is not an inch more or less cream, and the cake base inside is even stronger and more powerful, with perfect curves. It is obvious at first glance that the cake base has been exercised regularly.

With white chocolate crust, it is incomparable to ordinary cakes in terms of visual, olfactory and tactile effects.

Li Cheng savored it and lingered on it. As he ate, he tore the white chocolate crust into pieces, revealing the crystal clear cream inside.

The cream is smooth but not greasy, sweet and delicious, with charming curves.

As he was eating, he almost forgot about the Dragon Girl Cake that he had been having a relationship with for a month.

The most delicious fruit on this cake is peach.

Unlike cherries and cream grapes, peaches are the largest in size, the hardest, and are firm and elastic. You don't need to worry too much when playing with them. Just enjoy the flavor. If you feel like eating them, you can knead and pat them to keep the peaches active.

The most delicious part of the peach cake is, of course, the dividing line in the middle of the peach flesh. That part is the most essential part of the whole peach and the part closest to the peach pit.

Li Cheng was very skillful when tasting, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes gentle, sometimes forceful, sometimes relaxed, making Taozi unable to figure out his tasting method.

After a while, the peach was completely ripe.

The juice was like the one squeezed out by a juicer. It was many times more abundant than that of ordinary peaches, and the taste was extremely sweet.

After tasting it for a while, Li Cheng ate all the small cake and couldn't eat any more.

But how could Li Cheng let her go so easily?

Sorry, you haven't let Master Li Cheng have his fun yet~
The cake was covered with chocolate crusts of various colors, and it was constantly patted and ripened. The sky was turning pale...

……

"What a damn sin, Li Cheng, oh Li Cheng, how could you be so depraved? Have you forgotten why you came here? Have you forgotten your lofty ideals, your mission to sacrifice all living things and bring nuclear peace to the world?"

"Are you eating the cake? You are just greedy for her body!"

"You're mean!"

"You are such a rebellious person. You ignored this goddess and attacked these ignorant girls instead!"

"Wow, what's wrong with this goddess? Black crispy, white crispy, I can do it too!"

Lilith rolled around outside the room, expressing her inner distress.

After a while, she held her head as if she was schizophrenic.

"No, Lilith, Lilith, what are you talking about!"

"You are a goddess, not a despicable female dragon, nor a lustful little cake! You are a goddess, a goddess!"

"That's right, Lilith doesn't want to taste anything like Li Cheng!"

"That's right, I don't want to, I don't want to!"

"That person who was born against the will of heaven, this goddess will never care about him again!"

"Lilith." Just then, the door opened and Li Cheng came out, putting on his clothes and holding Vivian who was already asleep.

"Here!" Lilith stood up suddenly: "Master Li Cheng, what do you want me to do~"

After seeing Vivian, she sniffed twice without leaving a trace.

No, you can’t cry. A proud goddess won’t cry.

"gone."

"Why are you going?"

"Go to the altar and prepare to start refining."

"Okay, Lord Li Cheng~" Lilith followed Li Cheng happily.
-
Outside the World Tree Gate.

The third round of examination at Full Moon Academy.

The professors and legends were standing there nervously.

Almost everyone's face was filled with melancholy.

The speed of time flowing inside and outside the World Tree Gate is different, but even so, the candidates stayed inside for too long.

"It's been such a long time and he still hasn't come out. Huh..." The High Priest of Order sighed and said, "I'm afraid..."

“No, my son Mu is not such a weak person. Even in a desperate situation, he will definitely find a way to survive.” The God of War Bass’ eyes were firm.

This rebellious son stole his shield and thought he didn't know...

But with ten times the defense, he should have no problem surviving.

Queen Man Yue and Liuli both stared at the gate without saying anything.

But the tension on their faces made them look like they were a different person compared to the past.

Just then, the dusty door opened.

The golden light is shining.

Everyone's heart trembled.

"Are they back? How many of them are back?" Archbishop Furnace clenched his fists.

The next second, a scream of “Ahhhhhh!” was heard from behind the door.

Then there was a loud rumbling sound, and even the earth was shaking.

Naturally, a huge strange ball made up of countless human faces rushed out from the door.

"Shit, this is... a three-faced monster ball! No, it's upgraded again, this is a multi-faced monster ball!"

"Is the Abyss attacking from the World Tree Gate?!"

"I surrender! Don't strangle me!"

In the audience, the candidates who did not enter the gate for the test all stood up, looking terrified.

On this day, they recalled the fear of being ruled by the three-faced monster ball.

"This is..." Several legends took a look at the giant ball and immediately shifted their gaze to Bass.

They had seen the entire process through holographic images and knew where this thing came from.

Bass clenched his fists, his face was blue and purple, and his head was about to explode: "This rebellious son!"

He was quite happy that his son was still alive.

But as soon as he saw his son appear as the three-faced monster ball, he wanted to practice the trumpet again.

"Anyway, let's stop them first and see what's going on." The High Priest of Order floated up and clasped his hands together: "Order - Dust-Purifying Hands!"

A golden barrier appeared in front of the rushing multi-faced monster ball. After crashing into it, it disintegrated into individual candidates.

These candidates all stuck out their tongues and their eyes turned into @@ shapes.

Then, golden hands emerged from the barrier, caught the examinees, and began to heal them.

"Your magic of order has improved again, Lord Calvaro." Liuli couldn't help but admire.

"Compared to you, we are still far behind, Lord Yennefer." The High Priest of Order slowly put the examinees on the ground and frowned: "Everyone, count the number of people and see if anyone has not returned!"

"Yes!"

Several examiners waiting for the exam hurried forward.

And Liuli's gaze kept wandering among the crowd.

Wandering with her is the Full Moon Queen.

"Where's Li Cheng? Where did Li Cheng go?" Half a minute later, Liuli, who had carefully searched for him many times, ran to the center of the crowd anxiously and asked, "Has anyone seen Li Cheng?"

"Li Cheng? No, I didn't see him! He... wasn't among the candidates who came out." The examiners answered reluctantly, "Sorry, Ms. Yennefer, please move aside a little. These candidates need treatment."

"You're talking nonsense, there's no way Li Cheng isn't here!" Liuli grabbed the examiner by the collar.

"Sir Yennefer..."

The legends were startled and couldn't help but look at Dean Manyue.

After they confirmed that their candidate was fine, they immediately looked for Li Cheng.

The reason is simple: this genius left a very deep impression on everyone in the first two rounds.

So, when they confirmed that Li Cheng was not among these people, they all looked at Dean Manyue with regret.

Generally speaking, explorers will return from the gate together after completing the secret realm.

In other words, these people are the last survivors.

It seems that the dean's prospective disciple is in great danger.

"This... is such a pity..."

The Full Moon Queen didn't say anything, she just looked at the door, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this moment, the light flashed inside the door again.

Everyone's hearts, which had just died, were hanging in the air again. Liuli also loosened the examiner's collar and stared straight at the gate of the World Tree.

Two seconds later, Miss Karenina, with pink hair, walked out of the door. Her eyes were a little dull, as if she was trying to remember something.

Before Liuli made any move, Queen Man flew over first and said, "Little guy, are there any other survivors behind you?"

"Survivors..." Karenina raised her head blankly: "I, I don't know...where is this..."

"Li Cheng, where is Li Cheng? Is Li Cheng following you?" Liuli asked anxiously.

"Sir Yennefer." The Full Moon Queen glanced at her and said, "This is the aftereffect of the World Tree. Her memory has been erased."

"Then let her remember." Liuli gathered magic power in her palm without thinking, and the expression on her face became more and more crazy.

"Sir Yennefer, please be mindful of your manners. It is forbidden to use truth-telling magic on candidates." The Full Moon Queen grabbed her wrist and said, "Besides, it won't work!"

"How do you know it's useless if you don't try? Let me go!" Liuli looked at her viciously, and her blue eyes gradually turned into vertical pupils.

"Are you crazy?" Man Yue's eyes sank little by little.

“Brother Li Cheng…” At this moment, Karenina murmured, holding her head: “City Hall, Prison, um… Vivian… Brother Li Cheng… My head hurts.”

The pink-haired girl fell down with a look of pain, but was held in the arms of the Full Moon Queen the next second.

This is the aftermath of the World Tree journey and is the most normal reaction.

Lost his memory, leaving only fragmentary clues.

So, other people didn't have any special reaction.

Only the Full Moon Queen felt a storm rising in her heart.

"What did she say? She said Vivian?"

She actually knows my name?
That's right, they saw me, the me who was born there.

Brother Li Cheng...

Vivian's hands were shaking as she held Karenina.

In her eyes, Li Cheng's figure was constantly overlapping with the person in her memory ten thousand years ago.

Could it be him?

will be,

him……

"Give me this child, I will find a way to make her speak." Liuli narrowed her eyes, and a blue storm rose under her feet: "I promise."

She is such a crazy person, willing to give everything for what she wants.

In order to fight against the Abyss, she was able to endure the torment of Slaanesh for more than forty years.

Now, for Li Cheng, she can even go to war directly with Man Yue.

For a moment, a tense atmosphere gathered at the examination venue.

The Legends also flew down and gathered around the two.

But they were a little confused.

No, isn’t Li Cheng the prospective apprentice of the Full Moon Queen?

Why is it Liuli who wants to snatch people?
Hiss, have your roles been reversed?

In the audience, the candidates who were watching the show hid under their chairs. They were afraid of being affected by the battle, but they didn't want to give up such a rare big melon.

Therefore, we can only watch the show in fear.

Just at this moment, the door of the World Tree gently closed.

Then, everyone heard the ethereal voice.

[The Door of the World Tree: 1345 BC, Abyss Realm - City of Deception] is not over yet.

"Huh, because of special reasons, are you still going on?" Archbishop of the Crucible let out a long sigh: "Master Dean, Lord Yennefer, please stop, there is still hope."

"Yes, both of you, just wait for the results." The High Priest of Order also advised.

“…” Liuli frowned and put away the storm that was gathering around him.

The other legends also breathed a sigh of relief and waited quietly for the voice of the World Tree.

Their hearts were in suspense again.

[The Abyss Realm - the City of Fraud is disturbed by unknown reasons. 】

[Difficulty rating changed from 4-stage SSS to 7-stage SSS]

[Extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous! ]

[Currently remaining explorers: 1]

The voice faded away, and the whole place fell into silence.

The legends looked at each other, their mouths twitching.

A few seconds later, someone suddenly opened his mouth:
"Haha, well, my heart is finally at peace."

Seventh stage SSS level?
Is this a level of difficulty that the examinees can handle?
Ordinary teachers in the college find it difficult to cope with such exploration!

"I think we should focus on comforting the candidates and try to find out the reason for the change in the secret realm." Typhon sighed, "Don't let such a tragedy happen again."

"Yes." Professor Jerrel gloated, "There's no need for us to wait here for the seventh stage of the secret realm. It's over."

"I think... Li Cheng may have realized the difficulty of the secret realm in advance, and covered the other candidates' departure while staying inside to cover their retreat. He didn't have time to take it out." God of War Bass analyzed: "After all, he has always been such a noble person."

This person is even more of a heavyweight and has already started to imagine reasons why Li Cheng couldn't come out.

But no matter which legend it was, no one believed that Li Cheng could pass through a secret realm of this level.

The gap between the second level and the seventh level is really too big.

If I had to use one word to describe this gap.

Then "despair" can be said to be very appropriate.

Among all the people, only Liuli and Queen Man Yue were staring at the door quietly, wondering what they were thinking.
-
the other side.

The Abyss of 1345.

A deep and dark place surrounded by a great will.

The eerie white bones formed endless mountains, and the cold air was filled with the lingering smell of blood.

A darkness devoid of any sunlight, with only the eerie blue flames maintaining visible light.

Two figures, one purple and one black, were jumping continuously in the thick darkness.

The sound of sharp blades colliding seems particularly clear in the quiet and silent world.

"I say, are you really that treacherous to the Mother Goddess? I just refined two of your towns, are you really that angry? You are so petty."

The regeneration witch, who was split in half, teleported to the skull of a giant beast.

Her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and was as good as new in an instant.

The pure white robe wrapped around her alluring figure, fair hair, fair eyelashes, and fair skin. Almost all the color on her body was fair white like albinism, except for her eyes, which were deep purple flashing with lightning.

"Haha, this is really interesting. You are a thief, and you accuse me of being stingy?"

The Mother Goddess of Deception was suspended in the sky. She was wearing a purple robe and a purple scarf on her face, covering her eyes, so her face could not be seen clearly.

But her body didn't match her outfit.

Hidden inside that dignified and elegant robe was a little girl who was only about 1.4 meters tall.

And on that purple robe, there were eyeballs and open mouths all over, staring at the Witch of Regeneration.

"Oh, they are just some souls of the Abyss Demons. You won't lose much." The Regeneration Witch spread her hands and said, "If we keep fighting like this, there will be no end. How about you let me go? I promise to refine less in the future!"

"Haha, you are really a piece of shit." The Fraudulent Mother Goddess smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you are already a demigod, I still have plenty of ways to kill you."

As they spoke, the two women started fighting again.

Although the battle situation was unfavorable to the Witch of Regeneration, she always had a calm smile on her face.

She had already made arrangements in advance and arranged for people to steal the home from the lair of the Fraudulent Mother Goddess.

If we fight for a little longer, her lair will catch fire.

At that time, she would know that she had fallen into a trap and would run back in shame.

But the poor Mother Deceitful Goddess had no idea that this was only the first layer of her scheme.

In fact, the fire in the old nest was a tactic to confuse the enemy!
Using this time, the Witch of Regeneration can go to the City of Fraud, activate the National Land Refining Array, and directly refine all the lives in that city.

Just now, she took advantage of the fact that the Mother Goddess of Deception was tired and conveyed the part of the plan that could be spoken, including the prayer to activate the altar and the location of the altar, to the emblem of her confidant Anka.

At this moment, Anka should have opened the door of the altar and prepared to start the ceremony.

Although she was unable to contact Anka due to the interference of the Fraud Mother Goddess.

But it doesn’t matter, Anka is her most loyal and smartest confidant, and she will never make mistakes.

As for Anka's betrayal, that is absolutely impossible.

After all, there are two conditions for activating the National Land Refining Array. One is that more than 95% of the life in the array is transformed into soul bodies.

Second, you need to have the scent of a witch.

Are you kidding? There are millions of people in the City of Fraud. Who else except her, the Witch of Rebirth, can complete such a large-scale massacre in such a short period of time?

Where can I find the second witch in the city of fraud?
Everything is under her control.

"Haha, Fraud Mother Goddess, you are worthy of being called a fraud?"

"After I refine the City of Fraud, I will slowly deal with you, little bitch! We will slowly settle the score for beating me for seven days and seven nights!"

"You thought I was on the first floor, but actually I'm on the thousandth floor!"
