Xing Mo, who was at the center of the incident, cleared her throat awkwardly and said:
"Senior, have you brought the chef and ingredients?"
"Yes, they should have started setting up the pot," Alice came back to her senses. "Because the quantity is so large, we can't make elaborate dishes, but it will definitely be much better than what we usually eat."
As she spoke, she looked at Aurora, then at Xingmo:
"So, shall we go over and eat?"
"Sure, it's a good time for me to take a break." Xing Mo said frankly.
At this time, Aurora quietly tugged at the hem of Xingmo's skirt and whispered:
"You really don't want to cook? I want to eat what you cook..."
Xing Mo glanced down at Aurora and found that the little girl had a pleading look on her face.
Hey! Why are you being so exaggerated?
But she understood Aurora's intention the next second: she was showing her sovereignty in front of her senior!
"..."
Xingmo looked at the senior sister, then shook her head helplessly:
"There's nothing I can do. My little ancestor wants to eat it, so I'll just make it for her."
"......" Alice didn't say anything, just stared at Xingmo, frowning slightly.
Senior... don't look at me like that... If you were also pinned to the bed and sucked by the evil god for half a month, you would definitely do what she wants.
"Okay, then I'll be your deputy." Alice shook her head and sighed.
She saw Aurora beside Xingmo with a victorious smile on her face, and felt helpless.
"..."
So, Xingmo and his group came outside the shed and set up a pot under the awning at the port.
Looking out from the abandoned port, the rainstorm completely dyed the sky and the earth hazy. The rain fell on the waves of the sea, even obscuring the outline of the waves.
From time to time, a flash of silver-white lightning would cut through the rain curtain, drawing a winding branch on the gray sky.
In such weather, it is really wonderful to set up a hot pot and eat while listening to the sound of rain.
Thinking of this, Xingmo washed and blanched a few ribs, then sprinkled spices on them and started cooking them in a pot.
She planned to make a pot of pork rib soup as the soup base, and then simply stew some vegetables or something, which would be suitable for many people to eat together.
Alice and Aurora moved two small stools to sit nearby. Not far away, Alya diligently guarded the three of them. Next to the little guy stood another girl, who seemed to be Bianca, who had been rescued from the whale oil factory.
Those two little guys are so close to each other, it's so beautiful...
Xing Mo took a quick glance and a faint smile appeared on her face.
In the distance, pots were set up in abandoned buildings in the port area. For a moment, dozens of smoke plumes rose in the rain, giving the moisture of the rain a hint of the aroma of fireworks.
"Huh... I really like this atmosphere..." Aurora squinted her eyes and hummed a little tune.
Then, as if she suddenly realized something, she stood up and looked towards the sea.
"Little animals?" Aurora tilted her head.
Then, she suddenly let out a long cry similar to a bird's song. The sound was as ethereal as mist, flying through the rain curtain to the sea.
"...?"
Xingmo looked at Aurora waving at the sea and couldn't help but feel confused:
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, a little animal just said hello to me," Aurora pointed to the sea, "so I said hello to it too."
"Small animal? What small animal?" Xing Mo felt that this little ancestor might have something wrong with his brain.
Aurora blinked mysteriously and said:
"That's the little whale. It's called Bai Ling now. It's a little animal with a name!"
Whale? Oh... the one in the whale oil factory...
"Are you still in contact with it?" Xing Mo was surprised. "I thought you released it."
"There's nothing I can do. After I revived it with the power of the Tree of Life, it expressed its desire to become my companion," Aurora shrugged helplessly. "It looked adorable, so I took it in."
Wow... The power of the cult is really growing... They even have magical beasts... Xingmo couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about you," Aurora said, looking at Xingmo with a smile. "As our first follower, it's time to give you a big gift package."
"What big gift package? Tell me clearly." Xing Mo was alert.
On the side, Alice also turned her gaze over, looking a little nervous.
Aurora smiled and thought for a moment, then turned around and said:
"Dangdangdang! We've decided to help you get promoted to six-string! Surprise!"
Hearing this, Xing Mo's heart skipped a beat and he quickly suppressed the expression on his face.
I was just worried about not being able to get promoted to the sixth string, and Aurora suddenly decided to help me get promoted?
Is this what the store manager meant when she mentioned "everything will go smoothly from now on"?
"Why?" Xing Mo asked calmly.
"Actually, we just learned that entering Merlin's Superstring Array requires two six-string wizards. If we follow the procedures, we won't be discovered."
Aurora said, gently poking Xingmo's waist:
"You should also become stronger."
"What's the point of becoming stronger? Even if I become stronger, I still can't beat you?" Xing Mo muttered.
"If you can't beat them, just enjoy yourself~ What's wrong with that~" Aurora smiled.
"But Principal Merlin isn't in the Citadel," Alice suddenly interrupted, "The principal is the only one who knows about the Saint's Ascension Ceremony."
"No, there are two people." Aurora turned around happily.
Before she could say anything, Xing Mo suddenly remembered that person's name -
—Elmo! The book spirit of the library!
According to the legend of the academy, she possesses the power of a "demigod"!
Moreover, she is the spirit of the library and of course knows all the recorded knowledge, even including the contents of some banned books.
A ritual magic, how could she not know about it?
"Have you finished reading her?" Xingmo suddenly remembered Ai Ermo's white eyes.
"Not yet, but she's been very well behaved," Aurora smiled. "She'll definitely help me with anything I ask her to do."
The tone of her voice was as if she had just tamed a puppy.
When Xingmo thought of Elmo's dignified and reserved appearance, she felt a chill down her spine.
So scary, is this the evil god...
"..."
Alice tried her best to ignore everything Aurora did to Elmo. After all, Elmo was not familiar with anyone, and few people even knew of her existence.
She thought carefully for a moment, then said:
"However, Xiaomo's spiritual power may not be at the level that allows for promotion. If she is forced to promote, her soul will be damaged."
"We'll just have to find a chance to test it," Aurora said. "No rush... Wow! I smell something delicious! Is it done?"
"Are you a kitten or a puppy? You have such a keen nose..."
Xing Mo smiled helplessly, opened the pot, and the aroma of pork ribs stew overflowed.
She added some more vegetables and covered the pot.
"It will be ready in five minutes."
The three of them then started chatting again. On the surface, the conversation seemed harmonious, but in fact, they were all thinking silently in their hearts.
Xing Mo didn't know what Senior Alice thought. Although she had promised to keep Aurora's secret, Xing Mo didn't think Alice would have any objection if Aurora wanted to enter Merlin's Superstring Array.
I have to find an opportunity to secretly tell my senior the real plan - to use the "Angel's Tears" and "God's Blood" to trick Aurora into the "Merlin's Superstring Array" and seal her divinity.
As for whether to exile her, Xing Mo planned to wait until then to decide - she would take advantage of the time when Aurora lost her divinity to get everything out of her.
This is the truth behind Aurora's desire to enter the White Tower.
If the truth would lead to irreversible consequences for the academy or endanger the lives of others, Xingmo would never let Aurora succeed.
And if Aurora's purpose is not bad, and can even reveal some secrets, Xingmo may even help her.
"..." For some reason, when Xing Mo thought about the possibility of exiling Aurora from this world, he suddenly felt heavy in his heart, as if there was a stone pressing on his heart.
For some reason, she didn't want to do this.
Oh... There's no point in thinking about it now... Everything has to wait until that time to decide... Xingmo shook her head.
The most urgent task is to obtain the "Angel's Tears" and "God's Blood".
The former is currently in the hands of Prince Austin and will be available in a while.
As for the latter, Xingmo felt that he needed to study it carefully.
If you can't break it from the outside, you can only break it from the inside...
I don't know if Aurora will have her period, but it would be convenient if she does...
While thinking, Xingmo suddenly realized that the stewed spareribs were already cooked, so she opened the lid of the pot:
"Okay! You can drink the soup and eat the meat!"
"Great!" Aurora jumped up from the small stool and happily took the bowl of soup.
Alice waved her wand casually, and Fengliu flew over from not far away, carrying a shabby table and landing next to the pot.
Xing Mo glanced at Alia who was standing guard not far away and called out:
"Aliya, Bianca, come and have some soup."
"Eh?" Alia turned around, looking flustered. "No... No! I can drink it later!"
"Come on, come on. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Xingmo said as she picked up the bowl and filled one for Alia and Bianca, adding a few more pieces of pork ribs.
Alya, blushing, trotted over with Bianca by her hand. The two little ones looked awkwardly at the three people in front of them, then bowed slightly.
"Thank you... thank you..."
"We're all family, don't be so formal," Aurora clasped her hands together and closed her eyes. "This is all a gift from the Goddess of the Tree of Life..."
Next time before you say this, could you please cook for yourself... Xingmo complained in her heart and added a few more pieces of pork ribs to Aurora's small bowl.
She divided the remaining ribs equally between herself and senior Alice, then sat down at the table and began to enjoy it.
"Hmm... Xiaomo's taste is better..." Alice commented after taking a sip of the soup.
"Yes, yes, sister's taste is the best~" Aurora's heart-shaped pupils jumped.
"......" Xingmo drank the hot soup and looked away helplessly.
Under the awnings and eaves not far away, the little nuns and priests were enjoying hot soup and hot dishes, and everyone had a happy and full smile on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Xing Mo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Eat more, eat more to grow taller...
The five people shared the dinner with the sound of rain, and continued to eat until the heavy rain stopped and the light of the blue crescent moon faintly shone through the rain.
"Huh, this was such a delicious meal..." Aurora rubbed her stomach comfortably, "Gu... I want to go home and sleep..."
"Then let's go back early," Xing Mo saw that the rain had subsided a lot, "Senior, do you want to go back with me?"
Alice nodded.
"I can give you a ride, but I have to go to the Holy Spirit Church later. I have something to do."
Having said this, she clapped her hands, signaling the butler to tell the chefs to finish their work, and then stood up:
"Come on, take my carriage and I'll take you to Splash Street first."
