Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Along the way, passersby greeted Blue Sky and Maxius warmly.

It is worth mentioning that, because the news had already spread, people called Maxius the God of Cookery.

"Why... are they calling me 'Master Chef' now...?"

"You'll get used to it, because these are the people of Guixiuli."

Lan Tian smiled and explained to Marcus, who had a strange look on his face behind him.

After chatting for a while, the two arrived at the central square of Guixiuli.

"We've arrived. Please wait here for me. It will be ready soon."

Lan Tian turned to the curious crowd and shouted:

"Excuse me, everyone, could you please move aside?"

Soon, Lantian set up two fully equipped open-air stalls in the open space cleared by the surrounding crowd, facing each other on both sides of the square, with a table and two chairs in the middle.

If there is any difference, it is that Blue Sky's kitchen has fewer kitchen utensils than Maxius's, but Maxius did not notice this detail.

"What are those two seats for?"

Marcius pointed to the table in front of the two of them and asked curiously.

"Those are the positions of Gui Zhong and Morax, and the two of them will be the referees."

As soon as Lan Tian finished speaking, three beams of light, two gold and one white, appeared above the two of them.

It was Morax, Guizhong, and Lantian's clones who arrived. Lantian had already informed Guizhong and Morax of Maxius's identity through the clones.

"Huh? Rolsheus? What are you doing... huh?"

The clone of the blue sky ignored the astonished Maxius, came to the ground, nodded slightly to Maxius, and then walked towards the blue sky. After touching the blue sky's body, it dissipated and merged back into the blue sky's body.

"this…"

Marcius didn't react for a moment.

"Haha, that was an Asura clone that I summoned back. Morax, Guizhong, I'll trouble you to be the judges between me and the God of the Hearth."

"No problem, it's a good opportunity to try your cooking again, my old friend."

"It's alright, it's been a long time since I've tasted your cooking."

Morax and Gui Zhong exchanged a smile, nodded to Lan Tian, ​​and then sat down at the referee's table.

Blue Sky patted Maxius on the shoulder, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said:

"Don't worry about the ingredients, I've prepared them all. Let's go."

"oh oh."

The two arrived at their respective stalls and got ready. It was only then that Maxius, holding a spatula, noticed that there weren't many kitchen utensils on the other side. Lan Tian simply took off his gloves, washed his hands, and stood on his stall.

"Roelseus, over there..."

Don't worry about me, you'll find out soon enough.

Blue Sky smiled and teased Maxius, then turned to look at Morax and Guizhong:

"Please have the referee select the first ingredient that the two sides will compete against."

Before Morax could even speak, Gui Zhong, looking impatient, said:

"Me too! Rolsheus! I want your grilled steak!"

"It's impossible."

Morax agreed.

"it is good!"

Marcius and Blue Sky nodded simultaneously, and then a flash of light appeared, revealing two fresh steaks in front of them.

It is the authority to construct the blue sky.

It's worth mentioning that internally, they will always call each other by the personal name of Lan Tian, ​​but externally they will be called by the demon name of Lan Tian. Of course, this was suggested by Morax and Lan Tian.

"Then I declare the competition..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before Gui Zhong could finish speaking, Lan Tian raised his hand to stop him.

"what happened?"

Gui Zhong and the surrounding crowd all looked at the blue sky with puzzled expressions, and Morax also cast a puzzled glance at them.

"We still have one friend who hasn't arrived yet."

Lan Tian smiled gently, then closed his eyes and projected his divine sense into the distance.

In no time, Fukaros's projection appeared beside Lantian, immediately causing a gasp of surprise from the surrounding crowd.

Unlike before, this time Fukaros's projection was not semi-transparent, but a real entity. This was a temporary body that Blue Sky constructed specifically for Fukaros's projection using a portion of its divine power.

"Brother Blue Sky, you... um!"

Before Fucaros could finish speaking, Blue Sky gently touched Fucaros's lips with her right index finger, interrupting her, and said softly:

"Let's go sit with Sister Guizhong first and watch your brother Lantian's cooking competition."

After saying that, Lan Tian withdrew his hand.

"Okay, Brother Blue Sky."

Upon hearing this, Fukalos smiled sweetly, nodded obediently to Lantian, and then skipped over to Gui Zhongshen's side, sitting on the chair that Lantian had just constructed for her.

"Okay, let's get started."

As he spoke, Lan Tian, ​​witnessed by everyone, once again suppressed his strength to the level of an ordinary person.

"Exactly what I want!"

Upon hearing this, Maxius immediately perked up and said with great interest.

"Game start!"

With faces full of excitement, Gui Zhong and Fukalos said in unison.

After saying that, the two quickly poured oil into the pot, and after the oil was hot, Maxius put the prepared ribs into it to grill.

But just then, Lantian's voice rang out amidst the gasps of the surrounding crowd:

"Watch closely, this is my martial arts masterpiece—Iron Sand Palm!"

After saying that, Lan Tian pounded the steak with his fists at a rate of six punches per second, and the steak began to tremble with each punch.

This shows that the meat is absolutely fresh.

After pounding for half a minute, Lan Tian finally put the pork chop into the pot. Then, he flipped the pork chop over by hand and slid it back and forth in the pot.

This astonishing move immediately drew gasps from the surrounding crowd, but there was little worry in their eyes, only excitement, as they had already witnessed Blue Sky's Iron Palm.

"Seriously? This works?"

Marcius stared in disbelief at Lan Tian's actions, his jaw nearly hitting the stove.

"Don't just stare at me, be careful not to burn the steak."

Lan Tian, ​​without even looking up, half-jokingly said that Marcus immediately snapped out of his daze and then bent down to brush on the seasonings while grilling the steak in front of him.

But Lan Tian's next astonishing move continued to elicit gasps of surprise from the surrounding crowd.

Lan Tian tossed the piping hot pork chop into the air with one hand, then grabbed a handful of his specially made seasoning with his left hand and sprinkled it on the pork chop. He then caught the pork chop with his right hand, sprinkled the seasoning on the other side, and put it back in the pan to continue grilling.

Lan Tian's actions immediately opened the eyes of everyone present. Fukalos, seeing this, held her pretty face in her hands and stared intently at Lan Tian's busy figure. Her beautiful blue heterochromatic eyes sparkled, and a blush involuntarily appeared on her face.

Gui Zhong and Morax, standing to the side, kept glancing back and forth between Lan Tian and the other two, occasionally offering a few quiet comments.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Marcius and Blue Sky stopped what they were doing at the same time, placed the steak on a pre-prepared porcelain plate, and carried it to the referee's table.

It's worth mentioning that Marcius placed the cooking utensils aside before bringing the grilled steak to the referee's table, while Blue Sky carefully washed his hands before bringing the steak to the referee's table, his hands appearing to be unharmed.

"Try them all. If it's not enough, Maxius and I will bake another one."

Blue Sky smiled and patted Maxius on the shoulder.

Gui Zhong, Fukalos, and Moraxton nodded immediately, each taking a small piece of the steak that Maxius had grilled and savoring it. They then gave their praises.

Marcius gave a sheepish smile and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

After the three of them swallowed their meat chops, Lan Tian moved his chops closer to them so they could enjoy them.

Seeing this, Fukalos couldn't wait any longer and cut off a large piece of meat. Ignoring the fact that the meat was still steaming, he put it directly into his mouth, resulting in his face turning red from the heat and him constantly panting.

Everyone present burst into laughter at Fucaros's adorable appearance. Lantian, amused, took out a glass of water and helped Fucaros swallow the piece of meat in her mouth. Then, he gently pinched Fucaros's cheek and scolded her:

"Why are you in such a hurry? The meat is right in front of you, it's not going to grow legs and run away."

But the undisguised doting tone in his voice made Lan Tian seem like a warm older brother next door playing around with a mischievous younger sister.

Gui Zhong and Morax, standing to the side, simply smiled faintly, seemingly already used to it. Marcius, seeing this, quickly guessed the relationship between Lan Tian and the beautiful white-haired lady, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I understand, brother, don't be angry~"

Fukalos stuck out her tongue, which was a little sore from the burn, and pretended to be a little aggrieved, even causing the ahoge on her head to droop down.

"Okay, remember to wait a while before you eat."

Lan Tian smiled and gently patted Fukalos's head, which immediately drew cheers from the surrounding crowd.

Simply because Blue Sky and Fukaros are just too adorable.

"Then I'll try another piece. I ate it too quickly before and didn't taste it properly, so..."

As she spoke, Fukalos glanced at the meat patties that Lantian was grilling, then looked up at Lantian beside her with a slightly expectant expression, winked and acted cute without saying a word.

The meaning conveyed in his eyes was self-evident.

Seeing this, Lan Tian chuckled and ruffled Fukaros's hair. Without saying a word, he picked up a piece of meat he had just cut off with a fork and handed it to Fukaros.

Upon seeing this, Fukalos's eyes lit up. He blew on the piece of meat a few times and then put it in his mouth to savor it.

Gui Zhong and Morax exchanged a smile and then forked up pieces of meat to taste.

Mmm, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the meat is soft and silky, and the spices make the outer skin spicy and delicious. With a light bite, you can taste the spicy meat juice locked inside by the outer skin, which is rich but not greasy.

After tasting it, all three gave it extremely high praise, with even Maxius expressing his appreciation and affirmation after tasting it.

The result was unsurprising: Blue Sky won the first game.

The leftover kebabs from the three people were evenly cut by Lantian and distributed to the people around them.

After Maxius thoroughly washed the iron pot and utensils, Blue Sky waved to signal the start of the second match.

The dish to be compared this time was stir-fried shredded potatoes, suggested by Morax.

"Game start!"

These words were still shouted out by Gui Zhong and Fukalos together, and at the same time, the two of them inexplicably raised a wooden sign with the words "The match begins" written on it.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian and Maxius immediately took out five potatoes from the sack beside them and began peeling them. After peeling, they cut the potatoes in half, placed them cut-side down on the cutting board, and shredded them into potato strips.

Next comes the test of knife skills.

Before the match, Morax said that the potato shreds should be cut as evenly as possible, so Marcius could only carefully and slowly cut the potato shreds, while Blue Sky did the opposite.

Lan Tian placed several halved potatoes in a line on the cutting board, then, holding the potatoes down with one hand and using the knife in the other, began to chop them quickly and accurately at a speed of four cuts per second. The speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen, and the cut potatoes remained stuck together.

And so, as Maxius began to cut the third potato, he looked up and saw that Blue Sky had used his superb knife skills to cut all the potatoes in one go, and then with a flourish, scraped all the potatoes into the basin of water beside him.

The crowd around, including the three judges, were stunned when they saw Lan Tian's superb knife skills. They all craned their necks to take a look and were surprised to find that the potatoes quickly turned into thin, almost transparent potato shreds when they were put into the water. What was even more surprising was that each potato shred was almost the same thickness, and there was basically no difference between them.

Before anyone could properly admire the potato shreds in the water, Lantian scooped them all out and, after letting some of the water drain off, put them into the wok with the hot oil.

Then, Lan Tian quickly stir-fried the shredded potatoes with both hands using his iron palm technique, adding chopped green onions and sauces as he stir-fried, and occasionally tossing the wok a few times, causing the surrounding crowd to exclaim in surprise.

At that moment, Maxius had just put all the shredded potatoes into the water to wash them.

Since there was no time limit for the match, Marcius did not show any signs of panic, but inwardly he was amazed and impressed by the swordsmanship that Blue Sky had just displayed.

Five minutes later, Lan Tian lifted the pot with one hand and scraped the shredded potatoes into a porcelain plate with the other.

After doing all this, Lan Tian didn't touch the plate of shredded potatoes. Instead, he calmly washed his hands and stood there waiting for Maxius.

After Maxius finished stir-frying the shredded potatoes, Lan Tian brought his own shredded potatoes and served them to the referee's table along with Maxius.

As soon as the two put down their plates, the difference between the two plates of shredded potatoes became immediately apparent.

The potato shreds at Maxius were almost all about half a centimeter thick, while the potato shreds at Blue Sky were almost all three or four millimeters thick.

The potato shreds, with their appealing blue sky appearance alone, far surpassed Maxius's.

After tasting the two people's shredded potatoes, the three judges gave accurate evaluations one after another.

Without a doubt, Blue Sky won the second game.

The third challenge was for Fukaros to create his best dish, but it couldn't be one of the two dishes he had already made.

After saying that, Fukalos playfully stuck out her tongue in the direction of the blue sky. Upon seeing this, the blue sky couldn't help but smile slightly and nodded in agreement.

This girl... still wants to try my creative dishes.

Thinking this, Lan Tian stood in front of the iron pot, pinched his chin with one hand, and began to think. Marcius was also thinking about the dish he was going to make next, just like Lan Tian.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and the surrounding crowd also quieted down, watching Lantian and Maxius silently, afraid that their noise would disturb the two of them.

After a while, Maxius seemed to have thought of something, punched his palm, and began to cook.

Not long after Marcius started cooking, Lan Tian seemed to have an idea. A smile crept onto his lips, and a small, bright blue light bulb appeared on his head, visible to everyone present.

Then Lan Tian raised his hand and gently squeezed the light bulb, popping it with a crisp "pop" sound. He then bent down and began preparing the ingredients.
