When Liao Ning initiated the live stream, a sense of confusion swept through the audience.
[“Who’s that? Is that really Liao Ning?”]
[“Liao Ning’s streaming from her own account! Has she returned to the Interstellar Alliance?”]
[“Isn’t Liao Ning no longer in the empire? Has she been rescued?”] [“Could it be that her account’s been hacked? Why’s the setup so minimal?”] [“Liao Ning, please give us a secret sign to confirm it’s you.”]
Upon reading these comments, Liao Ning couldn’t suppress her laughter. “It’s truly me. Want a closer look? I’ll be live-streaming through my own account from now on, continuing to teach everyone the art of creating ancient delicacies! No longer shall I be under someone else’s control.”
With those words, Liao Ning playfully winked and gestured for Zhou Ye to make an appearance on screen.
Standing at attention, Zhou Ye addressed the audience with formality.
“Greetings, everyone. I’m Miss Liao’s assistant for this live stream. I’m Zhou
[“Who did he say he was?”]
[“Who’s Zhou Ye? He looks like a soldier.”] [“Oh my goodness! Is this Colonel Zhou? The missing Colonel Zhou?”] [“It’s my boss! It’s really Colonel Zhou!”]
When Liao Ning first began her live stream, the viewer count was just over 100,000, with many doubting its authenticity. However, Zhou Ye’s sudden appearance sent shockwaves through the stream.
Historically, many soldiers had shown little interest in ancient delicacies. But as soon as they caught wind of Zhou Ye’s presence, practically every serviceman accessed the military Al to join the live stream, eager to inquire about Zhou Ye’s circumstances.
This marked Zhou Ye’s inaugural live stream. As he glanced at the barrage of questions flooding the screen, he couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered. He wasn’t entirely sure how to respond to the myriad inquiries.
Liao Ning swiftly clarified, “Colonel Zhou has actually been residing on Golden Rice Planet since his disappearance. We encountered him during our time in the empire. Now that we’re in a secure situation, we plan to return to the capital planet in a few days.”
In that moment, Zhou Ye recollected the reason behind his departure from the country. He took a series of deep breaths and asserted, “Indeed, the military will dispatch a team to retrieve us. Please rest assured that the Interstellar Alliance remains committed to our rescue, and its soldiers stand unwavering in their dedication to the safety of all civilians.”
True to his rank, Colonel Zhou’s words radiated inspiration, prompting a surge of excitement among the netizens. The live stream immediately escalated to a higher level.
Meanwhile, amidst an inopportune rumble of stomachs, Liao Nai and the elves couldn’t help but betray their hunger. It was only then that Liao Ning broke into a smile and began her live cooking demonstration.
“Today, I’m here to reassure everyone of my safety. Simultaneously, I’m excited to continue introducing you to the world of ancient delicacies.”
Gently, she showcased the fruit basket in her possession, its contents all freshly picked from the Green Forest Planet. Their vibrant colors were tantalizing and unique to this particular world.
“My focus today is on honey fruit porridge, featuring honey specially crafted by the elves, giving it a distinct and potent flavor.”
“Begin by simmering the rice until it becomes a smooth porridge, then dice the apple and banana into small pieces, ensuring you peel the apple.”
She continued with enthusiasm, “Next, blend the elves’ unique honey into the cooked porridge, stirring it until thoroughly combined. Let the porridge cool slightly, and it’s ready to enjoy!”
Despite the abundance of ingredients on Green Forest Planet, some seasonings were scarce, prompting Liao Ning to adapt to local resources. Moreover, with the sizeable audience present today, other dishes couldn’t be prepared as swiftly, aligning with Liao Ning’s intended plan.
She dished out two bowls of porridge, one for Zhou Ye and another for Liao Nai.
The young one transformed into a wolf, gracefully leaping onto the stage before indulging in a taste of the fruit porridge.
Beside him, Zhou Ling activated the five senses sharing system, taking dainty sips of the porridge and extending the experience to all the viewers. [Colonel’s got style. A handsome man enjoying fruit porridge is just adorable!]
[Liao Ning’s impeccable as always! This honey is incredibly silky. Where can we get it?]
[Absolutely! The honey even has a hint of floral fragrance. What kind of honey is this?]
[The wolf cub’s back! Oh my goodness! My little one, Auntie’s missed you so much!]
As the porridge neared completion, Liao Ning gently pulled Lili, who had been covertly sneaking tastes, in front of the camera.
“Meet Miss Lili, the youngest elder among the elves. These magical beings not only excel in crafting potions but also produce this extraordinary honey.”
“I’m looking forward to a long-lasting collaboration with the elves. In time, everyone will have the chance to savor the unique delicacies they bring.”
Though a tad nervous, Lili’s eyes radiated gratitude upon hearing these words.
The elves were currently juggling numerous responsibilities. It remained uncertain how many elders and clan members they could rescue from the empire this time. However, if they could generate income by selling the elves’ honey, it would provide them with financial independence, liberating them from dependence on others for sustenance and medicine..
