I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Well, in that case, let's go into this snow house together and rest up. When we're physically and mentally restored, we'll go and conquer that damned Weather Witch and her minions."

Li Chen said with a smile, and gestured to everyone to come into the snow house. In fact, the reason why he did not choose to use the cave pot to rest was entirely because Li Chen was curious and looking forward to it - he wanted to experience the unique feeling of living in the snow house for himself.

Everyone responded with a "Okay!" and then filed into the seemingly simple yet enchanting snow house. Upon entering, they were surprised to find that the interior was surprisingly spacious. A rough estimate suggested it could accommodate about thirty or forty people at once.

At this moment, Li Chen turned to look at the women around him and ordered in an orderly manner, "Everyone, please take good care of Li Zhaohuang. I will be responsible for preparing some food for everyone."

With that, he flicked his sleeves, and instantly conjured up an enormous iron pot. Then, as if by magic, he found a sufficient amount of fresh mutton and various precious nourishing herbs from the mysterious system mall.

Li Chen skillfully arranged the ingredients one by one, first grabbed a handful of mutton and put it into the pot, then added the unmelted white snow and crystal clear ice cubes. After doing this, he carefully lit the fire and began to cook slowly.

As the fire grew stronger, the ice and snow in the pot gradually melted into water, blending with the mutton. When the water reached the right temperature, Li Chen quickly threw in the nourishing herbs, letting them swirl in the boiling water, releasing their rich aroma and essence.

This dish has a resounding name, called Snow-Cooked Lamb. It was invented by an outstanding leader of the Dragon Kingdom where Li Chen was located, who was highly respected and talented.

According to legend, this leader, with his intelligence and perseverance, cleverly used limited resources to cook such a delicious dish in an extremely harsh environment. It not only successfully solved the problem of food and clothing, but also greatly boosted morale.

Now, Li Chen decided to recreate this classic dish, hoping that it could also bring full energy and courage to himself and his companions. Soon, the snow-cooked mutton soup began to boil, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Come, good disciple! Here comes the snow-cooked mutton soup!"

With a cry, Li Chen carefully carried a bowl of steaming, fragrant snow-cooked mutton soup and slowly walked over to Li Zhaohuang. He smiled, his eyes filled with concern and anticipation.

Li Chen gently picked up a spoonful of the incredibly delicious mutton soup and slowly brought it to Li Zhaohuang's slightly opened mouth. The broth flowed into her mouth like nectar, bringing a warm and rich flavor. Just like that, spoonful after spoonful, Li Chen patiently fed Li Zhaohuang.

With each sip of mutton soup, Li Zhaohuang's pale, cold complexion gradually warmed up, becoming rosy. Soon, her eyes, which had been tightly closed for so long, began to tremble slightly, as if a long-sleeping beauty was about to awaken. Sure enough, not long after, Li Zhaohuang slowly opened her beautiful, large eyes.

"My disciple! You're finally awake! How wonderful! I've been so worried about you. Let's not rush on our journey, let's just rest here for a while." Li Chen said excitedly, tears of joy glistening in his eyes. As he spoke, he handed the bowl of mutton soup, which was already dwindling, to Li Zhaohuang.

Li Zhaohuang accepted the mutton soup with a grateful smile on her face. "Thank you, Master! This mutton soup is really delicious...but..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly pointed behind Li Chen, as if she had discovered something remarkable. Seeing this, Li Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled and quickly turned around to see what was going on.

You won't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked! It turned out that there was a large pot of freshly cooked snow-boiled mutton soup behind them. But at this moment, there was not even a drop of soup left in the pot! Li Chen's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted in astonishment: "Oh my God! Such a large pot of excellent snow-boiled mutton soup, and I haven't even had time to taste a single bite!"

Fairy Hibiscus, the Fire-Eating Poisonous Scorpion, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, the Hundred Fairy Butterflies, Ao Xue, Ao Shuang, the Thousand-Year Bat Demon, Xiao Yan, the Jade Rabbit Fairy, Nezha and other gods and monsters actually drank up the entire pot of fragrant mutton soup without leaving a drop, and didn't even leave a sip for him!

Li Chen's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and helplessness. He pointed at them in mock anger and shouted, "You guys! What a bunch of gluttons! How could you be so greedy to drink up the entire pot of soup without leaving a single bite for me?"

However, facing Li Chen's accusations, these people showed no remorse. Nezha, smiling, walked up behind Li Chen, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, then said nonchalantly, "Oh, brother Li Chen, don't be angry! It's because the mutton soup you made is so delicious! Even if I were in heaven, I wouldn't be able to taste such a delicious dish!"

"That's right! That's right! Master brother's cooking skills are simply unparalleled in the world!" The Fire-Eating Scorpion excitedly waved his slender hands, his face full of admiration.

The other women nearby all echoed in a sweet voice: "Yes, yes, this taste is really unforgettable!" They either covered their mouths with their hands and chuckled, or looked around with their beautiful eyes. Their charming postures made the whole scene lively.

At that moment, a clear and melodious voice, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, suddenly reached the earth, as if the sound of nature had suddenly descended upon the world. The Hibiscus Fairy said in a sweet voice, "Actually, there's another bowl here!" Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the voice, their eyes instantly drawn there.

The Hibiscus Fairy stood there, graceful and elegant, like a blooming flower. Her delicate hands were holding a bowl of steaming mutton soup, the rich aroma wafting in the air, making one salivate.

It turned out that the clever fairy Hibiscus had quietly taken an extra bowl without making a sound, and this extra bowl was specially prepared for Li Chen.

The other women naturally knew this, but they all pretended not to know, secretly planning to take advantage of this rare opportunity to play a good trick on Li Chen, this innocent, cute and interesting guy.

"Here I come! Let me feed you myself!"

The Hibiscus Fairy smiled sweetly, her red lips slightly parted, and as she spoke she stretched out her scallion-like jade hand, picked up the spoon placed in the bowl, and stirred the soup slightly.

Seeing this, Li Chen showed a smug smile on his face. He walked up to the Hibiscus Fairy with a swagger, then opened his mouth without any hesitation, and waited for the Hibiscus Fairy to feed him with peace of mind.
