Chapter 31 "Fantasy World: Cooking God Competition and Mysterious Invitation: Lin Xiao's F
The sun was like a blazing flame, mercilessly burning every inch of the Fantasy World. Lin Xiao was wearing a light blue dress with delicate patterns embroidered on the hem, swaying gently in the breeze. Her lively eyes sparkled with curiosity, and her fair skin seemed to emit a soft glow under the sunlight.
"Mo Yu, why is this town suddenly so lively? It feels like a hornet's nest has been stirred up!" Lin Xiao tilted his head, frowned slightly, a bright smile on his face, and muttered to himself.
Mo Yu was dressed in black, his figure was as straight as a pine tree, his deep eyes revealed a hint of doting, and he smiled and replied: "I heard that there is a grand cooking competition today, and all the masters from all sides have gathered here, so it is naturally very lively."
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he jumped up excitedly, clenching his fists: "Wow, then we have to join in the fun, maybe we can learn a few tricks!"
The two walked side by side on the streets of the town, and the noise around them was like waves. The small vendors in the streets and alleys shouted at the top of their voices, and all kinds of novel things were dazzling.
Lin Xiao was like a curious baby, looking here and there, exclaiming from time to time: "Oh, this little thing is so interesting!"
Mo Yu accompanied her patiently, with a faint smile on his face all the time.
Finally, they arrived at the cooking competition. Smoke rose up and intertwined into a hazy mist in the air. The contestants were busy in front of their stoves, their faces full of concentration and confidence. Their skillful cutting skills were like martial arts masters performing their unique skills, dazzling the eyes.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but get close to a contestant, staring at the kitchen knife in his hand flying up and down with his eyes wide open, exclaiming: "Wow, big brother, your knife skills are amazing! You are simply the 'Little Li Flying Dagger of the culinary world'!"
The contestant looked up at her and smiled: "Little girl, this is nothing, there are more exciting things to come!"
Mo Yu smiled and shook his head, then pulled Lin Xiao and continued walking forward.
The competition was in full swing, and the air was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making people salivate. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu watched with great interest from the audience, and made comments from time to time.
"Wow, the dishes made by that sister look so beautiful, they are simply works of art!" Lin Xiao said, pointing at a contestant's work.
Mo Yu nodded: "Yes, but you have to try it to know how it tastes."
At this moment, a mysterious old man appeared in front of them. The old man was wearing a gray robe, his hair was gray, but his eyes were deep. He looked Lin Xiao up and down, with an elusive look in his eyes.
"Little girl, I think you have a good character and are a promising person." The old man spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic.
Lin Xiao was a little overwhelmed by this sudden praise. He blinked his eyes and said with a puzzled look: "Old man, you are too kind! I just came here out of curiosity."
The old man smiled slightly, took out a mysterious invitation from his arms, and handed it to Lin Xiao: "This is an invitation to a special party, I hope you can attend."
Lin Xiao took the invitation and saw some strange symbols and patterns engraved on it. She asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What kind of party is this? Why is it so mysterious?"
The old man said mysteriously: "You will know when you go there." After that, the old man flashed and disappeared like a ghost.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their hearts filled with curiosity and confusion.
At night, the moonlight sprinkled like water in front of Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's window. Lin Xiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, holding the invitation letter tightly in his hand, and the old man's mysterious figure and words kept appearing in his mind.
"Mo Yu, what do you think is hidden behind this invitation? I feel uneasy." Lin Xiao turned sideways and said to Mo Yu with a frown.
Mo Yu sat by the window, looking at the night outside, pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao'er, no matter what, I will stay with you. Maybe this is an opportunity, or it may be a challenge."
Lin Xiao sat up and bit his lip: "Humph, never mind, let's go and take a look and we'll know!"
The next day, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu went to the meeting place according to the address on the invitation. It was an old manor hidden deep in the mountains, surrounded by lush trees, like a natural barrier. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light, like mysterious runes.
As soon as they entered the manor, the door slowly closed with a dull sound. A gust of cool wind blew, and Lin Xiao couldn't help shivering and hugged his arms tightly.
"Mo Yu, why do I feel a little creepy? Is there any danger?" Lin Xiao grabbed Mo Yu's arm tightly, his voice trembling.
Mo Yu comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Even if it's a dangerous place, we'll try!"
At this moment, a voice sounded in the hall: "Welcome everyone here, the game is about to begin..."
