I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Master, open your mouth! Ah!"

Fairy Hibiscus smiled, her voice so gentle it could melt anyone's heart. In her right hand, she held aloft a large, steaming bowl of mutton soup, its aroma filling the air. In her left hand, she firmly grasped a delicate spoon.

She parted her red lips and whispered softly, "This mutton soup is fresh out of the pot, it's still hot. Let me blow on it for you first." Then, she leaned over and blew gently on the mutton soup on the spoon. The orchid-like breath brushed across the surface of the soup, forming tiny ripples.

Li Chen obediently opened his mouth, and Fairy Hibiscus carefully fed him a spoonful of delicious mutton soup. The rich, mellow flavor instantly blossomed on his tongue, intoxicating him. Every spoonful of mutton soup was imbued with Fairy Hibiscus's tenderness and care. She always placed the spoon to her lips and blew on it gently, ensuring the broth was just the right temperature, neither too hot to burn his mouth nor too cold to affect his taste.

Of course, would someone like Li Chen, who had reached the level of a saint, be afraid of the heat of the mutton soup? But Fairy Furong still managed to have the proper sense of ritual. Otherwise, how could Li Chen feel the love contained in this simple feeding?

In this way, the Hibiscus Fairy fed Li Chen spoonful after spoonful, and Li Chen enjoyed this delicious mutton soup to his heart's content. Before he knew it, the whole bowl of mutton soup had been drunk up by Li Chen.

"Is everyone full? Do you want to eat something else?" Li Chen asked everyone with a smile on his face and a glint of anticipation in his eyes. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly had an idea, as if he had come up with a brilliant idea.

The next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded. Li Chen expertly opened the mysterious system store, seemingly filled with endless treasures. His fingers swiped across the screen, and a series of operations flowed smoothly. In the blink of an eye, a vast array of rare ingredients appeared before his eyes, as if by magic.

The sheer array of ingredients is truly dazzling. The first thing that catches your eye is the golden, fragrant skewers and roasted lamb legs. The lamb is grilled to perfection, sizzling with oil and emitting a captivating aroma. Next comes the tender and juicy lamb kidneys, their unique flavor making your mouth water. And finally, the fragrant pig's blood sausages, each bite filling your mouth with a rich, meaty aroma.

Of course, in addition to these delicious meats, the table also features a steaming hot pot of beef. The pot is bubbling with a bright red spicy broth, with chunks of lean and fat beef simmering in it, accompanied by a variety of juicy fresh vegetables, such as emerald greens and tender yellow bean sprouts. Just looking at it makes one's appetite surge.

"Wow!"

Seeing such a sumptuous feast, the women couldn't help but let out exclamations of immense happiness. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with surprise and excitement. Then, they eagerly gathered around, ready to savor this rare feast.

At the same time, Nezha and Li Chen also sat down. They exchanged a smile, raised their glasses, and toasted everyone present. While the snowstorm raged outside, the igloo felt cozy and warm inside. Everyone gathered around the table, laughter and chatter echoing throughout.

As the feast began, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to devour the food. For a moment, the entire igloo was filled with the sounds of chewing food and toasting. These sounds intertwined like a joyful symphony, making the igloo feel particularly warm and lively.

After three rounds of drinks, Nezha asked, "Brother Li Chen, regarding the weather witch, do you have any strategies to deal with it?"

"Nezha! The Weather Wizard, at this stage, he won't personally challenge us!"

Li Chen's expression was as calm as water as he spoke slowly. You know, such a powerful being would usually send their minions to fight first. After these minions were slain, if the situation remained unfavorable, they would personally take action and engage Li Chen in a life-or-death duel.

This action actually had two hidden purposes. First, it was intended to drain the energy and strength of Li Chen and his companions. Second, while Li Chen was engaged in battle with the Ancestral Witch's men, the Ancestral Witch could utilize the Ancestral Witch power lingering within those men to secretly observe and meticulously record Li Chen's techniques and combat strategies. This would allow them to better understand Li Chen and his opponent, allowing them to more effectively defeat him.

"Nezha, when facing powerful enemies like the Weather Witch, they often possess their own unwavering pride and arrogance. Therefore, they will never rashly initiate the attack, but will instead send their subordinates to provoke us. Remember, when fighting these guys, never easily display all your special abilities!"

Li Chen told Nezha everything he knew. Nezha couldn't help but be shocked after hearing it. No wonder the heavenly soldiers and generals of heaven were repeatedly frustrated when they were fighting against the Ancestral Witch. It turned out that the moves and tactics they used when fighting with the Ancestral Witch's subordinates were seen by the Ancestral Witch.

The Ancestral Witch was a powerful being from ancient times, their physical strength and magical powers far surpassing those of ordinary celestial soldiers and generals. Furthermore, they had observed previous battles among the celestial gods and were well-versed in their magical powers and spells. As the saying goes, knowing your enemy and yourself ensures victory in a hundred battles, the celestial soldiers and generals were naturally at a disadvantage when fighting the Ancestral Witch, and their defeat was understandable.

"Brother Li Chen, thank you so much for your timely reminder. Now I understand everything! So, can I take your place in the next battle?" Nezha said earnestly, looking at Li Chen. He was filled with fighting spirit and couldn't wait to show his skills.

Li Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Why is that?" He was really puzzled as to why Nezha suddenly offered to fight for him.

Nezha quickly explained: "Didn't you say before that if I go into battle in your place, your combat effectiveness will not be observed by the Weather Ancestral Witch. In this way, we can surprise the opponent and catch them off guard! Besides, my strength is not bad either, and I will definitely be able to deal with that Weather Ancestral Witch." As he spoke, Nezha patted his chest confidently.

"Impossible, you're overthinking it! Brother Nezha, forgive me for being blunt, but there's a huge difference between having the Ancestral Witch's power and not having it. An enemy with the Ancestral Witch's power, even a small demon, can possess immense strength and it's definitely not something you can defeat so easily!"

Li Chen shook his head and then denied Nezha's words. He was not bragging. The power of the Ancestral Witch was definitely not something that could be easily countered. Although Nezha had many magical instruments and the magical power of three heads and six arms, it was still a little too insignificant when compared to the power of the Ancestral Witch.
