Chapter 434 New Year’s Hot Pot, Yangwu Snow Leopard (Happy New Year!)
Three days have passed since the trip to Assyria.

The influence of the Chosen One in Assyria continues to ferment.

Because the Chosen One of Darkness successfully killed the Minotaur ancestor spirit deep in the labyrinth and solved a major problem for the Assyrian king, the king ordered craftsmen to cast a statue for him. The appearance of the statue was based on the image of the black-armored knight described by Inanna.

In the Assyrian region alone, the prestige of the Chosen One of Dark Night is comparable to that of the Duke of Honeysuckle, who is the Chosen One of Moonlight!
In the Assyrian tavern, the bards even split into two groups. One group boasted about the integrity of the Moonlight Knight, while the other group praised the hero who punished evil in secret, and they were ready for a debate.

Yeats had mixed feelings when he learned from the High Priestess of Darkness, Magosa, about the changes that had taken place in the Assyrian Kingdom since his departure.

Chosen by Dark Night, Chosen by Moonlight…Aren’t they both me?

The big and small accounts are competing with each other for popularity.

In the spacious living room of a luxurious hotel, braziers were placed around the floor-to-ceiling mirror. The purple flames in the braziers danced gently, and the magic power in the creative field revealed a mature lady far away in the Roland Kingdom in the mirror.

She was wearing a purple silk robe, which showed off her sexy and mature body curves, and her red lips were curled up in a smile.

“In short, your heroic deeds have attracted a large number of new members to join our sect…” Magosa paused and said in a flattering tone, “Although eliminating evil and promoting good is contrary to the teachings of our sect, since this is your decision after careful consideration, we should follow you!”

Ye Zhi hesitated to speak, wanting to say that he did not think much before taking action and just did it casually.

But in order to maintain the image of the Son of God, Ye Zhi remained silent for a while, and said in a low voice:
“That’s good. As long as I can provide more power of faith to the Goddess of Dark Night, I believe the Goddess will be satisfied.”

Margosha’s eyes gleamed as she said respectfully:
“Yes, praise the Chosen One, praise the Goddess of Dark Night!”

The image in the mirror disappears.

Ye Zhi rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little uneasy.

What he did seemed to be contrary to the camp of the Dark Night Goddess.

If she knew about this and came to cause trouble, what should I do…

As he was thinking, he heard a silver bell-like laughter in his ears. Yeats turned around and saw Daisy laughing loudly.

“After waking up from a dream, the goddess of darkness found that she had become a good god!”

Gods have their own camps and positions, just like the distinction between the righteous and evil paths in Eastern fairy tales.

The Dark Night Goddess is a thoroughly evil camp that takes pleasure in doing evil, and her followers therefore have a very bad reputation.

But as the gods’ spokespersons on earth…sometimes the chosen ones can change people’s impression of the gods by themselves.

For example, the Messiah, as depicted in the New Testament as loving and gentle, replaces the cruel and indifferent Creator of the Old Testament.

What Yeats did was undoubtedly to push the evil goddess of darkness into the camp of the good god!
“I never thought I’d see the day when the goddess of darkness would fall…”

Daisy smiled and wiped her eyes.

“Ye Zhi, being with you is really fun!”

Ye Zhi’s forehead jumped.

“I’ve only heard of evil falling…what the hell is good falling!”

“Sit down and listen to me slowly…” Daisy pulled Yeats to sit on the sofa, leaned her shoulders on him, and told the story slowly.

“Think about it, a person who was originally an evil god was mistaken by the world as a good god, and because he was chosen by God, he had to bestow blessings on those good people… If this is not a fall from grace, what is it?”

The more Daisy talked, the happier she laughed. In the end, she slapped Yeats’s thigh and laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back.

Ye Zhi hissed, “You can laugh if you want, but why are you patting my thigh?”

“Because I have no physical body, I can’t take a picture of myself.” Daisy raised her eyes and said innocently.

“You…” Ye Zhi was speechless for a moment, looked away, and said, “Forget it, since you came all the way to give me a gift, I’ll forgive you this time.”

Daisy uttered a cry of delight and threw her arms around Yeats’s neck:
“I knew it! My chosen one loves me! Come, give me a kiss~”

Although he was used to Daisy’s crazy state, the laughter that sounded like she was drunk still made Ye Zhi frown, and he shouted:

“Crazy bitch, calm down!”

Zuan Ya put his hands in his pockets, his face serious.

As expected of the Mist God’s Chosen One, he easily managed to loudly rebuke his own goddess!

In the end, Daisy did not kiss Ye Zhi’s face with saliva, but passed through his body directly, looked at Ye Zhi with a smile, and said:

“Once you collect the last of the ritual objects, we can go to other planes to have fun, Ye Zhi!”

The reward of the trip to Assyria was beyond expectations. Two demon god ritual objects were obtained at one time. Only the last ritual object of the arrogant demon god, the “Morning Star” diamond, was lost.

Yeats has guessed that the diamond is most likely hidden in the Roland Palace, but he still needs to sneak into the palace in person to verify it.

After confirmation, he used his identity as the Chosen One of Dark Night to contact “Madam Black Rose” and obtain this ultimate gift through negotiation.

“I just came back from Assyria. I plan to rest for a few days before going to look for the Morning Star.”

Ye Zhi smiled slightly and said:
“It’s just right, we can have a meal together during the New Year!”

Daisy’s eyes lit up and she asked, “Dinner party? What are we going to try? Roland cuisine or northern cuisine?”

“It’s oriental food!”

Yeats deliberately kept the secret, saying:
“We’ll find out when dinner starts!”

*
Ever since Snow Owl mastered the art of teleportation, it has become more convenient for Ye Zhi to travel between the various kingdoms.

It only takes less than two days to travel between the Golden Lion Kingdom and the Roland Kingdom, which greatly encourages Snow Owl.

“Gu!” The Snowy Owl’s eyes were sharp, and he had the mentality of a learner asking sincerely.

In this way, it will be more convenient to learn spells from Teacher Blueberry!
Ye Zhi was about to say something but stopped herself. Blueberry didn’t know any powerful magic at all. The reason why she was always able to teach Snowy Owl new magic by accident was because Snowy Owl’s own talent was too outstanding.

And Snow Owl has always regarded her as a mentor who is more powerful than Kendra… This probably proves that Snow Owl is more efficient in self-study than asking Kendra for advice…

Roland Kingdom, Sapphire Manor.

In January, snowflakes fell heavily, covering the garden with a layer of silver.

Christmas has just passed, and after a trip to the ancient city of Assyria, time has quietly arrived at the New Year.

Before searching for the last magic ritual vessel, Ye Zhi planned to enjoy a rare holiday in the manor and enjoy the unique delicacy from the East – hot pot – with Gray and Hilde!
The history of hot pot in the West is not long, and can be traced back to the Swiss mountains in the 16th century. In order to overcome the cold winter, local mountain people invented cheese hot pot, a special delicacy. Its taste is far from comparable to the long-standing oriental hot pot.

In the Central Courtyard Continent, Ye Zhi can definitely claim to be the inventor of hot pot!
“Hot Pot?”

When Hildegard heard this new term from Yeats, she looked puzzled.

“what is that?”

“It can be simply understood as hot pot! The base of the pot is the soul of the hot pot!” Yeats personally busy himself in the kitchen and decided to use Arenil as the utensil for the hot pot.

Gray was very curious. She paced around Arenil, tapping the cauldron with her fingers, and asked curiously:
“Then we’ll gather around this big pot and eat?”

“Smart!” Yeats said happily, “The ingredients are the specialties I brought back from the Assyrian region… sand lizards, sand nest vipers, and Minotaur tongues!”

Gray’s expression changed, and she said, “These ingredients…sound very wrong!”

Ye Zhi glanced at Gray and said, “Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not!”

“Eat!” Gray said confidently, “I’m just worried about you and testing the poison for you!”

The cold and beautiful Hildreth suddenly smiled, noticing the gazes from Gray and Ye Zhi at the same time, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she explained softly:

“I just feel that… I haven’t seen such a familiar conversation between you and Ye Zhi for a long time. I miss it very much.”

As night fell, snowflakes quietly fell, covering the Sapphire Manor with a layer of quiet silver gauze. The trees in the garden looked particularly quiet under the light of the snow.

Ye Zhi was busy in the kitchen for an entire afternoon and finally finished preparing the hot pot. The Arenil pot was placed on the stone table in the middle of the garden, and the runes on the pot flickered slightly, emitting a warm glow.

“Okay, we can start!” Yeats clapped his hands and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Gray and Hildreth had already sat around the stone table, curiously looking at the boiling soup in the pot. The soup was made from chili peppers and herbs, exuding a rich aroma.

“This smell… is so special.” Hildreth sniffed gently, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Of course, this is my special spicy soup base, which is unique in the world.” Ye Zhi smiled and pointed at the sliced ​​sand lizard meat, pit viper meat and other rare delicacies on the plate, saying, “Put the meat in this pot and cook it, and you can eat it!”

Snowflakes fluttered down, and in the silver-white world, the bubbling red soup in the hot pot added a touch of warmth.

At this time, space fluctuations appeared in the garden, and the Snow Owl appeared from a ripple of magic power, followed by an elderly white-haired knight.

The white-haired knight’s eyes fell on Ye Zhi, and suddenly there was a glimmer of excitement. He moved his lips and whispered, “Master.”

“Here I am, Phocas!” Ye Zhi said with a smile, “I specially asked Snow Owl to use teleportation to pick you up… Come, let’s celebrate the festival together!”

Fokasi’s eyes flickered continuously, and then he nodded vigorously, looked at Gray and Hilde in the distance, came close to Ye Zhi, and whispered: “Master, I knitted New Year sweaters for your children… two pieces!”

Ye Zhi coughed muffledly. She had no doubt that Gray and Hilde had heard their whisper. The blushes on their faces said it all.

“Let’s eat the food first…Everyone take a seat!”

Although Gray was somewhat resistant to the food, she couldn’t help swallowing her saliva after smelling the aroma. She picked up a piece of sand lizard meat and carefully put it into her mouth, and then her eyes lit up.

“The taste of beef tongue is like dense sand dunes! Very layered, like the kind of sand dunes that move!”

Ye Zhi laughed and said, “I told you that you would like hot pot.”

“Make way, let me have a taste!” Daisy’s clone also occupied a place.

The gray-haired beauty stood beside Arenil, holding a knife and fork made of mist in her hand, with a conflicted look on her face.

Ye Zhi saw this and taught her how to use long chopsticks.

Daisy suddenly realized and gave Yeats an admiring look, which meant, you really know how to eat!
Behemoth, Mammon, Snow Leopard, Kelya…Yezhi’s magical pets surrounded the big pot, feasting on the steaming hot pot.

The pitch-black cat suddenly poked its head out from Yezhi’s shadow, jumped onto Yezhi’s knees, and snatched the piece of meat that Yezhi had just picked up and put on the plate. Behemoth gnawed on the meat bones he had picked up from the pot, and the snow leopard tried to bury its head in the pot – Kelya stopped the snow leopard in time.

Gray held up the trembling beef tongue slices, the red pot and the falling snowflakes were reflected in her clear eyes. She raised her head and blew out a puff of white mist, a smile on her lips.

“I really want the elders to have a taste of this… they will definitely be as happy as I am!”

“Let’s go to Dragon Country together in the early spring of this year.” Ye Zhi said calmly, “It can be regarded as meeting the parents.”

“Well…” Gray’s face flushed slightly. She leaned gently on Ye Zhi’s shoulder and whispered, “Thank you…Ye Zhi, thank you for staying here…with me and Xilude…”

Ye Zhi’s heart moved slightly, remembering that Gray already knew that she did not belong to this world.

Looking at the snowy scene, Ye Zhi felt a warm current in his heart. He looked down at Gray’s long eyelashes and whispered:
“I want to thank you too… Gray, thank you for always being by my side…”

Gray smiled slightly, revealing a sunny and straightforward smile, and said: “In short, no matter where you go, you are not allowed to leave me behind!”

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Hildreth also came closer, her cheeks slightly flushed, and whispered: “Time like this is like a dream… I hope to spend the future with you, Ye Zhi.”

Gray pointed at herself wordlessly and winked at Hildreth.

“And Gray.” Hildreth smiled slightly, looked at Ye Zhi and Gray tenderly, and said softly, “I am very happy to spend precious time with you.”

The three of them snuggled together, sharing each other’s warmth. The quiet snowflakes kept falling on their shoulders and hair. The gurgling sound of the hot pot and the curling white smoke seemed to slow down time.

Daisy’s laughter rang in my ears.

“You must have fun with me all your life, Yeats.”

Yeats shuddered and turned his head, only to see Daisy raising her finger towards him mysteriously, making a silence gesture in front of her lips, with her eyes flashing with the same playful light as always.

“Don’t say such terrible things on New Year’s Day, Daisy!” Yeats couldn’t help but say.

“I don’t care~” Daisy smiled proudly and said, “Oh, by the way, it seems that you have a teacher in the film industry? You should also want to see her again?”

Ye Zhi was slightly startled, and his mind flashed through every detail of his time with Skach in the film world, and he fell into silence.

It has to be admitted that although Yeats spent the shortest time with Scach, Scach left an indelible impression on his heart.

The lonely yet powerful Queen of Shadow, holding her magic spear, sat on the majestic bridge and looked up at the starry sky… At that moment, Ye Zhi looked at Skahe’s profile and felt a familiar emotion hitting his heart.

Daisy seemed to see what Yeats was thinking and smiled:

“Then we must quickly obtain the Ring of the Nibelung~ This way we can cross the dimension and reunite with the person we want to see again!”

At this moment, a snow leopard came running from a distance. With a flying pounce, Ye Zhi hugged the big cat with both hands, touched the snow leopard’s head, and smiled:

“Why, so enthusiastic all of a sudden?”

The snow leopard growled in response to Ye Zhi’s words, and the winter emblem on its forehead glowed slightly. The snowflakes around it suddenly became dense, forming a vast snow fog. The visibility in the snow fog was extremely low, just like a mountain covered by heavy snow, covering all the surroundings!
“Is this… new magic?” Ye Zhi looked at the snow leopard in surprise.

The snow leopard nodded proudly. Under the guidance of the snow owl, it figured out the trick of the new spell and mastered the spell of [Frost Veil] on its own.

The Frost Curtain can create countless murderous intentions through snow and fog, like a cold curtain that isolates the outside world. The ice and snow illusions in this snow curtain are difficult to distinguish between reality and falsehood. It has the potential of legendary spells and will become the snow leopard’s new killer move!
Ye Zhi couldn’t help but feel a little excited. As the chosen one of the Goddess of Winter, as long as the snow leopard could stand on the same level as the snow owl, this Frost Curtain would definitely have the power of a legendary spell!
“Such a large area of ​​snow fog was raised in an instant.”

Looking around at the rolling snow mist exhaled by the snow leopard, Yeats sighed:

“Snow Leopard, I can see that you are a traditionalist…”
