Chapter 169: Yun Xi’s Gifts

“Engagement gifts and betrothal gifts?”

Yun Xi leaned on the white tiger’s soft belly . He kneaded the green slime gem and was lost in thought .

Lu Lu was so pure that she didn’t even ask for any gift from him . She was just a rare exception . This world had its own traditional love system and courtship ritual . Since he had decided to finish Side Quest Four “To Love, Starchild!”, he should be preparing gifts for the girls he would propose to .

However, there was the problem . Apart from a few weapons, materials, and the green gem, he was literally as poor as a church mouse . If he hadn’t become Water God’s apostle, he couldn’t even freeload off this village .

“Even though this isn’t a real world, there must be a reason for their proposal ceremony . At least, the gifts must be something I have chosen with my true heart . Otherwise, they will lose their memories in this world, and it will be too sad to them at that time . ”

Yun Xi kneaded the green slime gem and made a decision . At any rate, he should present the best gifts he had for them as engagement gifts . He would send them to his fiancees, the of Starwings Knights girls .

The engagements would be fake, the fiancees would be fake, and the world itself was just a fantastic dream, like a bubble under a summer sky . However, at least the gifts he would present to them would be real . Perhaps this was the only thing he could do in Water God’s world for them .

“The best gift I can offer them is… not something from the people in this world, but something made by myself . ” Yun Xi gradually figured it out as he basked in the sun .

Yes, a gift which could only be made by him in this world, a gift which had never appeared in this world, the thing that was most popular amongst the Starwings Knights girls . They even held rated battles for it!

“There are honey, cream… no butter, but I can make it myself . Got the enriched flour, but I have to make an oven and baking tools myself . ” Yun Xi nodded after listing all the materials and tools he needed .

He could do it! This world didn’t have “bread”, and the villagers were used to eating pancakes that were made of wheat flour . However, it was simply because they hadn’t learned suitable fermenting technology .

Water God had no connection with any other worlds, just like the period before star bridges were built amongst different god’s domains . It wasn’t surprising to learn that there was no “bread” in this world .

“I think that ‘bread’ can be a decent gift in this world . With my mask’s power, I can make bread that will retain its freshness for as long as possible . Oh, right, I can also control mist during the working process . ”

Yun Xi suddenly saw the light . He knew how to use his hero-ranked power now . To bakers, it was very important to blend water and flour when making bread . When one was “bringing yeast into play” and “kneading dough”, “water” was a necessary factor . In fact, the bread’s taste and quality had been decided even before it was put into the oven .

“Baking” was just the last step . Laymen thought that it was the most important process, but in fact, it was the simplest step in the eyes of experts . Yun Xi had a feeling that with his Water God’s Mask, he could make unprecedented, perfect bread .

“I’ve decided! Even though the world is fake, but the bread I will make will be real! Apart from that, I don’t have anything else that can be presented to them . Let me start!”

Yun Xi got excited after realizing what he could do and what extent he could reach .

“Lu Lu, can you go to the smithy to order these things for me? The faster the better . Oh, and I also need fine flours and creams . ”

“Little Mu, you are their Mountain Lord, can you look for these things for me? Yes, mushroom, vanilla, and honey . I have seen them in the forest . ”

Soon afterwards, Yun Xi had collected all the materials and tools he needed . Benefiting from his identity as Water God’s apostle and Little Mu’s dominance in the forest, all the materials and tools were the best .

“Master, what are you going to do?” Lu Lu asked with curiosity .

“It’s just an idea . Lu Lu, I will give you a foretaste in a short while . ” Yun Xi felt satisfied looking at the familiar materials and tools .

Compared to being Water God’s apostle, he preferred to be an ordinary baker . It was time to give his first fiancee a gift . The first bread in this world would be born in his hands .

“Therefore, I will make butter bread . Everyone likes it and it’s the bread I know best!” Yun Xi was itching for a try .

Why? Even when he fought with the green hippo in the dark forest, he didn’t feel so excited .

Why? It was the simplest food he had made countless times for his childhood sweetheart, Hua Huo . However, when he made it again in this strange world, he couldn’t stop his heart from pounding .

Had something just changed?

Maybe it was because it was a gift he would present to his fiancee, so that is why he felt so excited .

“Foretaste?” Looking at the flour, cream, and honey in the front of Yun Xi, Lu Lu couldn’t imagine how to mix them and eat them .

Well… even if they taste bad, I will eat them all! It will be the food made by the apostle personally . As his wife, I can never say “It tastes bad!” .

“Puff!” Yun Xi took a deep breath . There was mist between his fingers .

“…” The soft, slippery, green gem lay on Yun Xi’s shoulder and gazed at him curiously .
