Elves: My Fantasy World

"here it is……?"

Xia Mingshu, Xia Xingran and Nie Shuling walked into a small alley, but their eyes remained on Shen Yu.

"Don't look at me, Dr. Xia. This is my first time in Province D."

Shen Yu felt Xia Mingshu's gaze and could only respond to his gaze like this.

But when Shen Yu said this, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Xia Xingran suddenly raised her head and narrowed her eyes at him.

What's going on?

"Don't worry, Dr. Xia. There's a small restaurant up ahead. I've been here before. Although it's located in a place like this, there are a lot of people there, and the food is pretty good!"

The alley is winding and there is a turning corridor in front. For a moment, I can't see if there are any small restaurants in front.

Shen Yu's nose twitched, confirming what Nie Shuling said.

It might not be appropriate to say that it was the aroma of food. What Shen Yu smelled was more accurately described as the smell of oil smoke.

It would be a lie to say that it didn't smell choking, but after smelling it, Shen Yu was already looking forward to it.

Do you see the vent on the wall over there? That's where the smoke is exhausted, and I'm standing downwind.

After passing the bend ahead, there are all pleasant smells.

Shen Yu's pace quickened and he turned the corner before Nie Shuling and saw the scene he had imagined.

Bicycles and electric vehicles were lined up in front of a small restaurant, looking quite messy.

The kitchen was exposed outside, and an old man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s was flipping a pot. Flames were sizzling upwards, burning the innocent ceiling.

There were a few chairs at the door, and a few middle-aged women were sitting there. Some were in casual clothes, and one was wearing an apron. Her hair was probably permed and dyed. She was adjusting her sleeves, as if she had heard something interesting. She laughed along with the other middle-aged women in casual clothes, and wrinkles with sweat appeared at her brows.

With a smile, he picked up a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Seeing another old friend coming in, he quickly stood up and asked the guest to sit inside.

Although the entrance was messy, there were only cars, and although the ground was cement, there were no tissues, drink bottles, or fruit peels thrown away.

Shen Yu saw that even the melon seed shells were thrown into the small bucket surrounded by them by those aunties.

Nice place.

"Shen Yu, why are you walking so fast all of a sudden..."

"Ah! We're here! Li Niang!"

The place where the old lady was sitting was not far from the turning of the intersection. When Nie Shuling saw that side, she just complained about Shen Yu a little and then jumped up and down in two steps. In the blink of an eye, she had thrown herself into the arms of the old lady over there.

Then there was a string of words that Shen Yu didn't quite understand...

Uh, this accent is really a bit outrageous. I can't understand a single word.

The aunt was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, and the next second she was forced to hug the little girl. Only then did she recognize who the little girl in front of her was. She smiled and helped her tidy up her hair, and asked her to sit inside.

Shen Yu looked at the scene and saw Nie Shuling's gesture towards him. He imagined a sentence in his mind -

"There's someone here. I'll go greet them."

Sure enough, then Shen Yu saw the old lady glance over here, her eyes lit up, and she turned around and went in to clean up the house, while Nie Shuling walked over here.

"Let's go! Aunt Li here is so nice! Her rice noodles and side dishes are delicious too!"

"Most importantly... there's a monkey monster in this store that can perform!"

Putting aside Xia Mingshu's expression behind him, when Nie Shuling pulled Shen Yu into the house, Shen Yu really didn't understand a word the aunties sitting next to them and Nie Shuling said, but seeing Xia Mingshu's eyebrows raised from time to time, it felt that they were not normal.

The table for four has a smooth surface without any oil stains.

There was nothing on the table, nor anything posted on it, such as those QR codes that are everywhere nowadays.

A pack of napkins, a little...

Is this hot sauce?

Lu Minxi, who was standing by, took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the aunt and placed them in front of Shen Yu. She saw Shen Yu staring at the jar.

"This... this seems to be the hot sauce that the uncle and aunt made themselves, but they said that the contents of these jars on the table are not successful products. If you want to taste the hot sauce specifically, you can go directly to the uncle."

Shen Yu didn't say anything, just nodded, but still tried to pick up some hot sauce with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

At this time, Nie Shuling happened to see Xia Xingran also sitting at the table, but she was staring at the unopened dishes and chopsticks in a daze.

Before Nie Shuling could ask, Xia Mingshu took the initiative to say this:

"It's okay. Xiao Ran has super powers and doesn't need to eat."

Obviously, this sentence caused Nie Shuling's brain to crash, and she immediately looked at Shen Yu beside her - because in her impression, whether it was Lan Wenqin or Shen Yu, they were obviously the owners of superpowers, but they were both eating well...

So what can Shen Yu do...

I could only nod to Nie Shuling first.

"Yes, if the superpowers are strong enough, then one doesn't need to eat. It is enough to just absorb some of the energy diffused in the air."

Like cultivating immortals... But what's the difference between these awesome superpowers and cultivators? I don't think that powerful superpowers will live shorter than cultivators - of course, this is all nonsense in the context of different worldviews.

"You see, Lan Wenqin and I are still eating. It's because our superpowers are not strong enough yet... Not necessarily. Lan Wenqin's is still very strong, but she just can't control it well. It takes some time, but my superpowers are really not strong enough."

[No, yours is very strong. Now you are at least on the same level as me.]

Shen Yu simply ignored the words that appeared in his mind.

What do you mean by strong? I can’t even float in the air, how can I compare with you?

Shen Yu didn't think about these messy things, but poked Nie Shuling with the small jar of chili sauce.

"You said these are just failures?"

"Yeah... that's what the uncle and aunt said before. They also said that because of the failure, the taste of each table might be different."

"But never doubt my cooking skills! You'll know when you taste it..."

"Ha... I know it all without tasting it. Wait for me."

Nie Shuling watched as Shen Yu carried his small plate to each table and scooped up some chili sauce on the plate...

Going from table to table.

From time to time, he would pick up a little, smell it, then put it into his mouth, smile meaningfully, and then stare at the next table.

"Girl Nie... What's Shen Yu doing?"

This really stunned Xia Mingshu... He was an old man who had spent half his life in the research institute. Even if he had seen Shen Yu's current dizzy state, he didn't know when it was.

"I don't know either. I've never seen Shen Yu like this before."

Nie Shuling still didn't believe it and took out some chili sauce from the small jar on the table to taste it...

“Hiss… this! So… so… so… so hot!!! 119… 119——”
