Chapter 172: Eat Noodles and Make a Contract
Snowflakes fell a little from the sky. No. 1 Ye Li, who was shrouded in a huge shadow, had a stiff expression. The soup noodles in his hand still emitted warm heat.
"Well, it does smell good. You can try it. It's your compensation for trespassing into my territory without permission."
The North Wind Wolf smelled the extremely tempting fragrance and transformed into a human form without hesitation. His white hair was tinted with blue, and his blue eyes were filled with the majesty of a king. He reached out and took the bowl of noodles handed over by No. 1 Ye Li.
……
Looking at the two wooden sticks in his hand, Beifeng Wolf, who didn't know what they were, glanced at No. 1 Ye Li, who skillfully picked up the noodles with chopsticks and started eating.
In order not to embarrass himself in front of "humans", Beifeng Wolf also learned from No. 1 Ye Li to pick up the noodles with chopsticks. However, due to his lack of skill, he could only pick up a small amount of noodles, but it was enough to put into his mouth.
Feeling the slippery and chewy texture of the hot noodles in your mouth, the flavor of the seasoning and the meat added on top give you a warm, slightly spicy and sweet feeling.
After taking just a small bite, the North Wind Wolf liked the taste, so he looked serious and controlled his body to make his hand holding the chopsticks light. In less than 30 seconds, he had learned how to use chopsticks, and his level of proficiency was no less than that of the Liyue people who had been using chopsticks for years.
After finishing a bowl of noodles and soup, Beifeng Wolf very unceremoniously scooped another bowl of noodles from the pot of noodle soup, and No. 1 Ye Li did not disturb him.
Even though he cooked this pot of noodle soup, he was still an unreasonable person who trespassed into other people's territory without permission. Although that was because he was chased by wolves, it was still impolite of him to trespass without the consent of the owner of the territory. It was just a bowl of noodles, and he didn't need it anyway. On the contrary, it could make the other party feel relieved and be more conducive to the subsequent communication.
Various countermeasures were rapidly thinking of in his mind. There was a faint golden light flashing in No. 1 Ye Li's slightly narrowed eyes, as if he had thought of something.
Half an hour, or 30 minutes later, the North Wind Wolf had drunk up a large pot of noodle soup without leaving a drop of residue.
"Well, Mr. Lord of the North Wind, I've finished my noodles. I can leave now."
No. 1 Ye Li said with a calm expression.
"Not yet." Beifeng Wolf narrowed his eyes and said with interest:
"I'm very curious about your miraculous way of processing food. Besides, a human being can escape the pursuit of the wolf cubs outside and come here. You must be an extraordinary person."
The North Wind Wolf's words were direct and accurate. He was able to make a recommendation that was almost accurate based solely on his analysis when they first met and the traces that were still covered by wind and snow. He truly lived up to the title of Mondstadt's only second Demon God.
"Oh my, I thought I could use food to make you relax your guard and let me go, but I didn't expect that there would be a loophole after all."
No. 1 Ye Li had a helpless smile on his face. He looked at the North Wind Wolf in front of him, which had transformed back into a giant wolf. Although there was vigilance in its eyes, it did not show any hostility. He said in a very lazy tone:
"Let's not waste time talking. I'm not here to compete for the throne of the god in this area. I'm just here to trade and do business as an ordinary person. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract to guarantee it."
No. 1 Ye Li narrowed his eyes, and the golden paper that appeared out of thin air in his hand made Beifeng Wolf's eyes widen. Although the power on it was very weak, its quality and status were stronger than his own. Moreover, the heaviness coming from the earth and the spiritual restraint in the dark were enough to prove the fairness and authority of this note.
"I never thought that one day I would see a contract paper from Morax. It is said that the war between the demons there is much more brutal than ours, and it can be called a battle for supremacy among many heroes. You can come here just to do business and make money. You are really a curious and weird guy."
The North Wind Wolf King sighed, then said solemnly:
"For the sake of your pot of noodle soup, I will sign this contract and trust your approach, but I have a prerequisite."
No. 1 Ye Li narrowed his eyes, and a faint elemental force flowed in his body. Once the North Wind Wolf King in front of him made any unusual moves, even if he could activate the armor state in an instant, it would be impossible to defeat the North Wind Wolf King who was not dead and sealed in a short period of time. Therefore, escape was the best strategy, and he had to be vigilant.
"Say, if it's within the acceptable range, it can be added to the contract."
"I want you to teach me how to cook, as well as some recipe books and materials, like the noodle soup we just made. I also won't let you suffer any loss. If you are really a businessman, you probably wouldn't miss the deal with the demon god. After all, some of the things I have are very rare in your place."
The flow of elements in No. 1 Ye Li's body slowed down a bit, but it did not stop. He opened his narrowed eyes, and a faint golden light covered his gray-blue pupils. The black and white knight's clothes moved without wind. No. 1 Ye Li smiled and said:
"Your conditions are not difficult. If one day you can come to our place alive, you will surely taste recipes that are better than mine. I won't say much. Let's sign the contract."
As No. 1 Ye Li said this, he threw the contract paper directly into the sky. The elemental power of both parties was activated, and they wrote their names on both sides of the paper.
……
As the contract paper on No. 1 Ye Li's side lit up, Morax, who was doing official business in distant Liyue, felt the emergence of a new contract.
The illusory paper turned into words and appeared in front of Morax. Looking at the contents of the contract on it, Gui Zhong, who was standing next to Morax, curiously leaned over to take a look.
"This is really surprising. I didn't expect that the Lord of the North Wind would need others to teach him how to cook. This is really puzzling and a bit outrageous."
"It is also possible that Ye Li made a deal with one of the two demon gods in Mondstadt. I guess the business trip on the surface is just a friendly reminder to the people around him."
"No matter what, being able to sign such a friendly contract with a demon so easily is one of the few reliable moments of Xiaoli No. 1."
As Gui Zhong was speaking, he couldn't help but recall the way No. 1 Ye Li came to him with a playful smile and applied to open a store in Guiliji, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, I'll send the message back in the form of a contract. I'm not used to this approach. After all, it's one of the few things I'm busy with to find valuable intelligence in the information flow that people are contracting all the time."
"Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let a piece of stone like you get worn out by some trivial matter."
Gui Zhong smiled gently, stretched out his hands wrapped in slender sleeves, and put his arms around Morax's shoulders. He leaned his whole body against Morax's back, making Morax, who was already a little helpless, even more helpless.
