Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

After returning from Lancheng with honors, Old Li's steps were like an elf in the wind, and the head of the grade, Director Li, was also smiling, thankful for the decision to keep Li Li, otherwise their school would probably only be envious and regretful at this moment. At the magic flag raising ceremony on Monday, he highly praised the brilliant achievements of the magic competition class.

Whenever Li Li won praise, Zhong Xin felt a dull pain in her heart. When she thought about having let such an outstanding magician go, she felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.

Li Li, who had been busy for days, finally had a moment to rest, but she still had to go to Ling You every two days. Ling's mother always missed Ling You, and soon she took a long vacation and came to Lancheng to take care of him wholeheartedly, cooking all kinds of magical medicinal meals to restore his vitality every day.

Ling You's legs gradually began to show signs of life, his atrophied muscles began to recover, and his whole complexion became refreshed.

"After the healing acupuncture is completed, you can try to stand up by holding on to the edge of the bed." The golden needles in Li Li's hands shuttled back and forth, piercing deeply into Ling You's legs. The golden needles trembled slightly, as if whispering a healing spell.

Ling's mother watched nervously from the side, her fingers clenched unconsciously. Every time she saw such a scene, she felt like needles were pricking her body, and she wished she could bear the pain for him.

"It's done." Li Li slowly pulled out the golden needle and said to Ling You: "Now, try to move your legs slowly."

Ling You nodded, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to move one leg. Sweat dripped from his forehead, showing how difficult it was. He panted and put the other leg on the edge of the bed.

Ling's mother watched anxiously, her heart in her throat.

"Use your hands to support yourself, apply force slowly, and don't be impatient." Li Li's words were like magic, calming his anxiety.

He placed his hands on the edge of the bed, touched the ground with his toes, exerted force on his upper body, tensed his thigh muscles, and slowly stood up.

Ling's mother covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

The next moment, Ling You's steps softened, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground.

"Ayou!" Ling's mother exclaimed and rushed forward to help him up.

However, Li Li looked relieved: "Very good, try to stand for a while every day in the future, and gradually extend the time. Don't rush, so as not to rush and suffer the consequences."

"Well, okay, we've waited this long, so we can wait a little longer."

"That's good."

Ling You said: "Come, go to the studio, I want to show you something."

Ling's mother went to check her magic medicine, and Li Li followed him up to the second floor with doubts. The most remote room on the second floor was the painting studio where Ling You immersed himself every day. The lighting there was excellent, the sun filled the room, and the white curtains swayed in the wind.

Ling You turned his wheelchair and came to the easel covered with white cloth. He gently lifted the cloth, revealing its true appearance.

What is this? Li Li looked at him with surprise.

"A belated birthday gift, the painting I promised you. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I hope you like it." Ling You's eyes were as gentle as water, with a hint of nervousness...

"It's so amazing, I can't put it down." Li Li's eyes were fixed on the painting in front of her, not wanting to miss any details.

In the picture, the sky is unfathomable, with endless stars floating in it, some bright as the sun, some faint as candles, and the complex star tracks intertwined, as if you can see the ripples of time. A bright golden half moon hangs in the sky, overlooking the world. This sea of ​​stars is not peaceful, as if it is a grand celebration of the stars and the moon dancing together.

Ling You gently pressed the strange remote control, and the heavy magic curtains slowly closed, blocking the light from the outside world, and the studio fell into deep shadows. However, the light in the darkness actually came from the canvas. The stars seemed to be given life, flashing mysterious fluorescence, and the galaxy poured in front of Li Li. She seemed to be in a strange place where heaven and earth met, and felt a shock of time and space confusion.

This painting has bright colors, appropriate depth, bold and smart brushstrokes, and is full of endless fantasy imagination. Li Li can't put it down.

"Thank you." Li Li's eyes were full of emotion.

Ling You breathed a sigh of relief. He always created as he pleased, and this was the first time he tried to paint based on a theme given by Li Li, and he was afraid that she would not be satisfied.

Li Li took the painting back home and hung it in her bedroom. Whenever night fell and the lights went out, she felt as if she was traveling in another sea of ​​stars.

Li Dajun has been busy lately, as the restaurant's renovation project is about to be completed. The night before, Li Li saw him looking through an ancient star map to find an auspicious time for the opening.

"Dad, how's the progress?" Li Li saw Li Dajun coming back and hurried to ask.

"It's almost done. Just clean it up tomorrow." Li Dajun's eyes showed fatigue, but he couldn't hide his smile.

"Where's the pavilion?"

"I just finished washing up and went to bed." Li Li replied.

“That’s best.”

Since reuniting with Li Li after a long absence, Li Ting has become particularly dependent on her. As long as Li Li is at home, he will follow her closely.

Li Li knew that Li Ting would definitely not be able to adapt to the change of school, not to mention that Lancheng was a new and unfamiliar world, and he would definitely lack a sense of security. Therefore, Li Li tried to go home early to accompany him recently.

"Help Dad take a look at these dishes." Li Dajun took out a piece of parchment, on which were recorded the dishes he had repeatedly experimented with recently, hoping that Li Li could give some suggestions.

Li Li took it and examined it carefully. These were all her father's specialties. When Li Dajun was young, he learned from a legendary palace chef. It was said that the chef's ancestor was also a royal chef. Li Li always admired her father's cooking skills.

“Yes, it’s great.”

"Okay, I'll go find a stonemason to carve a menu tomorrow." Li Dajun put away the note. "Oh, there's one more thing."

"Um?"

"Lili, your handwriting is beautiful. Can you help me write a shop sign? I'm still considering the name." Li Dajun almost flipped through all the ancient rune books, but still couldn't find a satisfactory option.

Li Li pondered for a moment, "Why not call it 'Xingyan Pavilion'?"

She has always been deeply inspired by Master Liang Shiqiu's "Talks on Food in Xingyan Pavilion". Those delicate words allow her to appreciate the various aspects of life through food.

"Xingyan Pavilion?" Li Dajun chewed on the name. Although his cultural level was not high, these two words echoed in his mouth, as if he could taste the profound meaning in them.

"Okay, let's call it Xingyan Pavilion!" Li Dajun decided decisively, "Then go find Master Jiang Jian tomorrow and have the store sign made. We can't forget about this as we are about to open the store."

"Okay, okay, I will complete the mission until my death." Li Li promised solemnly.

In an instant, a wooden sign carved with a soaring dragon and a dancing phoenix was hung in front of the restaurant. It was rough but elegant, and a bit unrestrained, immediately attracting passers-by to stop.

"Owner, what kind of store are you going to open? It looks quite unique." a passerby asked.

Li Dajun quickly handed over a menu and said, "It's a restaurant that will open the day after tomorrow. Why not come and taste it then? I'm sure you'll be satisfied. There will also be surprise discounts when it opens."

He proudly introduced it, pointed to the sign, and changed the subject, "Do you see these words? They are my daughter's handwriting, what do you think?"

Li Dajun is actually a hidden daughter-con.

"It's really good." Although the passerby is not an expert, he couldn't help but praise it. "If I were by the river, I would definitely come to support you."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much!"

In a blink of an eye, the auspicious day selected by Li Dajun arrived. It was the weekend. Li Li was busy in the store. Looking at the endless stream of gift flower baskets, she couldn't help but be speechless. Isn't it too grand!

Ling You, Li Lin, Bai Ye, Lan Qi, Lian Yu, Lian Xilai, Jiang Cheng, Yao Shuige, Li Yan and others presented flower baskets one after another. Even Jiang Nan who was far away in Kyoto sent people to send his blessings. It was obviously just the opening of a small restaurant, but it was run like the opening of a large shopping mall. If Li Li hadn't dissuaded them, they would have even wanted to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"Isn't this just a small restaurant? How can it be so grand?" The owner of the nearby shop was surprised.

"It looks delicious. Let's go and try it." Passersby walked in one after another, and Li Li hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with enthusiasm.

If Li Lin and others witnessed this scene, their jaws would probably drop in shock. Who would have thought that the boss had such a friendly side?

Helplessly, Li Li remembered the owner's instructions and dared not neglect them in the slightest.

“A bowl of beef noodles, please.”

“Okay, I’ll prepare it for you right away.”

Li Li quickly went into the kitchen to place an order, and soon, a bowl of steaming beef noodles was placed in front of the diners.

The mellow soup base holds up the white noodles, the huge beef is attractive in color, and the green chopped green onions are dotted in between, making it mouth-watering.

The guests can't wait to pick up their chopsticks and put the noodles into their mouths, their eyes suddenly shining. The noodles are chewy, the beef is braised in advance and melts in the mouth, fragrant but not greasy. Finally, they take a sip of the soup, which is delicious and leaves a lingering fragrance.

"Delicious!" the diners couldn't help but praise.

Li Li and her daughter smiled at each other, and the restaurant opened successfully.

Yashe store officially opens!
