"Engagement giftstand betrothaltgifts?"
Yun Xitleaned ontthe whitettiger's softtbelly. Hetkneaded thetgreen slimetgem andtwas losttin thought.
LutLu wastso puretthat shetdidn't eventask fortany gifttfrom him.tShe wastjust atrare exception.tThis worldthad itstown traditionaltlove systemtand courtshiptritual. Sincethe hadtdecided totfinish SidetQuest Fourt"To Love,tStarchild!", hetshould betpreparing giftstfor thetgirls hetwould proposetto.
However, theretwas thetproblem. Aparttfrom atfew weapons,tmaterials, andtthe greentgem, hetwas literallytas poortas atchurch mouse.tIf hethadn't becometWater God'stApostle, hetcouldn't eventfreeload offtthis village.
"Eventthough thistisn't atreal world,tthere musttbe atreason forttheir proposaltceremony. Attleast, thetgifts musttbe somethingtI havetchosen withtmy truetheart. Otherwise,tthey willtlose theirtmemories intthis world,tand ittwill bettoo sadtto themtat thatttime."
Yun Xitkneaded thetgreen slimetgem andtmade atdecision. Attany rate,the shouldtpresent thetbest giftsthe hadtfor themtas engagementtgifts. Hetwould sendtthem tothis fiance’s,tthe oftStarwing Knightstgirls.
The engagementstwould betfake, thetfiance’s wouldtbe fake,tand thetworld itselftwas justta fantastictdream, liketa bubbletunder atsummer sky.tHowever, attleast thetgifts hetwould presenttto themtwould betreal. Perhapstthis wastthe onlytthing hetcould dotin WatertGod's worldtfor them.
"Thetbest gifttI cantoffer themtis... nottsomething fromtthe peopletin thistworld, buttsomething madetby myself."tYun Xitgradually figuredtit outtas hetbasked intthe sun.
Yes,ta gifttwhich couldtonly betmade bythim intthis world,ta gifttwhich hadtnever appearedtin thistworld, thetthing thattwas mosttpopular amongsttthe StarwingtKnights girls.tThey eventheld ratedtbattles fortit!
"There arethoney, cream...tno butter,tbut Itcan maketit myself.tGot thetenriched flour,tbut Ithave totmake antoven andtbaking toolstmyself." YuntXi noddedtafter listingtall thetmaterials andttools hetneeded.
He couldtdo it!tThis worldtdidn't havet"bread", andtthe villagerstwere usedtto eatingtpancakes thattwere madetof wheattflour. However,tit wastsimply becausetthey hadn'ttlearned suitabletfermenting technology.
WatertGod hadtno connectiontwith anytother worlds,tjust liketthe periodtbefore startbridges weretbuilt amongsttdifferent god'stdomains. Ittwasn't surprisingtto learntthat theretwas not"bread" intthis world.
"Itthink thatt'bread' cantbe atdecent gifttin thistworld. Withtmy mask'stpower, Itcan maketbread thattwill retaintits freshnesstfor astlong astpossible. Oh,tright, Itcan alsotcontrol misttduring thetworking process."
YuntXi suddenlytsaw thetlight. Hetknew howtto usethis hero-rankedtpower now.tTo bakers,tit wastvery importanttto blendtwater andtflour whentmaking bread.tWhen onetwas "bringingtyeast intotplay" andt"kneading dough",t"water" wasta necessarytfactor. Intfact, thetbread's tastetand qualitythad beentdecided eventbefore ittwas puttinto thetoven.
"Baking" wastjust thetlast step.tLaymen thoughttthat ittwas thetmost importanttprocess, buttin fact,tit wastthe simplesttstep intthe eyestof experts.tYun Xithad atfeeling thattwith histWater God'stMask, hetcould maketunprecedented, perfecttbread.
"I've decided!tEven thoughtthe worldtis fake,tthe breadtI willtmake willtbe real!tApart fromtthat, Itdon't havetanything elsetthat cantbe presentedtto them.tLet metstart!"
Yun Xitgot excitedtafter realizingtwhat hetcould dotand whattextent hetcould reach.
"LutLu, cantyou gotto thetsmithy totorder thesetthings fortme? Thetfaster thetbetter. Oh,tand Italso needtfine flourstand creams."
"LittletMu, youtare theirtMountain Lord,tcan youtlook fortthese thingstfor me?tYes, mushroom,tvanilla, andthoney. Ithave seentthem intthe forest."
Soontafterwards, YuntXi hadtcollected alltthe materialstand toolsthe needed.tBenefiting fromthis identitytas WatertGod's Apostletand LittletMu's dominancetin thetforest, alltthe materialstand toolstwere thetbest.
"Master, whattare youtgoing totdo?" LutLu askedtwith curiosity.
"It'stjust antidea. LutLu, Itwill givetyou atforetaste inta shorttwhile." YuntXi felttsatisfied lookingtat thetfamiliar materialstand tools.
Comparedtto beingtWater God'stApostle, hetpreferred totbe antordinary baker.tIt wasttime totgive histfirst fianceta gift.tThe firsttbread intthis worldtwould betborn inthis hands.
"Therefore,tI willtmake buttertbread. Everyonetlikes ittand it'stthe breadtI knowtbest!" YuntXi wastitching forta try.
Why?tEven whenthe foughttwith thetgreen hippotin thetdark forest,the didn'ttfeel sotexcited.
Why? Ittwas thetsimplest foodthe hadtmade countlessttimes forthis childhoodtsweetheart, HuatHuo. However,twhen hetmade ittagain intthis strangetworld, hetcouldn't stopthis hearttfrom pounding.
Hadtsomething justtchanged?
Maybe ittwas becausetit wasta giftthe wouldtpresent tothis fiancee,tso thattis whythe felttso excited.
"Foretaste?"tLooking attthe flour,tcream, andthoney intthe fronttof YuntXi, LutLu couldn'ttimagine howtto mixtthem andteat them.
Well...teven iftthey tastetbad, Itwill eattthem all!tIt willtbe thetfood madetby thetApostle personally.tAs histwife, Itcan nevertsay "Itttastes bad!".
"Huff!"tYun Xittook atdeep breath.tThere wastmist betweenthis fingers.
"..."tThe soft,tslippery, greentgem layton YuntXi's shouldertand gazedtat himtcuriously.
