Chapter 855 844: Bai Yan's Cooking Skills
Su Zhijun's sobs lasted for a long time, and Bai Yan did not say anything during this time. He just hugged her, gently patting her back, letting her feel his presence.
Bai Yan had been gone for ten thousand years, and Su Zhijun was indeed lacking a sense of security.
Ten thousand years, for any monk, is an extremely long period of time.
And during these ten thousand years, Su Zhijun had more than once received news that might be about Bai Yan, but they all turned out to be incorrect.
Until today, when Bai Yan stood in front of her, Su Zhijun looked at the man she was so familiar with and infatuated with, only to realize that ten thousand years had indeed passed.
Su Zhijun's feelings for Bai Yan were more intense than anyone else's; otherwise, she couldn't have spent those ten thousand years in solitude, waiting for Bai Yan's return.
Su Zhijun's sobbing finally gradually stopped, and a tender smile appeared on her lips.
Seizing the day, she felt happiness like honey in her heart.
Su Zhijun looked up, gazing at Bai Yan with a face that possessed both arrogance and calmness. This was the person she thought of day and night, finally standing before her.
"Ouch, why did you pinch me?"
Suddenly, Bai Yan's waist was pinched hard by Su Zhijun.
Of course, Su Zhijun wasn't willing to pinch him hard, but Bai Yan still cooperated with a soft hum, indicating he'd been pinched painfully.
"Of course, it's to see if I'm dreaming. Do you know how long I've waited for this day..."
Seeing Su Zhijun was about to start crying again, Bai Yan quickly took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and gently kissed her forehead.
"Silly girl, it's not a dream. I'm really back."
Su Zhijun's beautiful face finally bloomed with the most beautiful smile, leaving Bai Yan momentarily stunned.
He'd never seen a smile so enchanting. The goddess of the Endless Star Sea, truly not just a rumor.
Su Zhijun finally confirmed that the person in front of her was indeed her beloved. The endless waiting seemed worth it.
In this moment, Su Zhijun knew she hadn't waited in vain; he really had returned.
Su Zhijun once thought that if in this lifetime she couldn't wait for Bai Yan, if she couldn't love Bai Yan in this lifetime, she would wait for the next life, persistently never giving up.
Fortunately, her talent was strong, and the power of the Ancient Supreme granted her a long life.
For a long time, Bai Yan was her only motivation for cultivation. Because she knew as long as her life was long enough, one day she would wait for Bai Yan's return.
She believed in Bai Yan, believed that Bai Yan could achieve it.
And based on this trust, she was willing to give everything for Bai Yan!
Among mortals, many girls wait in vain for their beloved to return from battle, separated, with life and death unknown.
Su Zhijun was very thankful her father was Su Yu, thankful she could cultivate the most powerful cultivation technique in the Endless Star Sea and Human World, gaining a long enough life to finally see Bai Yan return.
"Brother Yan, you must keep your promise. From today on, you are my pursuer! As to whether I accept, that depends on your performance."
Under Bai Yan's comfort, Su Zhijun finally regained her usual cheerful self, her eyes full of love as she looked at Bai Yan.
"Of course, I will work very, very hard to pursue you, using all my strength!"
Bai Yan smiled gently, patting Su Zhijun's head lovingly.
He understood that this was Su Zhijun's shyness, but since he promised, he would make sure to fulfill it.
And now, he suddenly thought of something.
In his past life, Bai Yan was very good at cooking, but very few people had tasted his dishes. Few had the courage, and few had the opportunity.
Su Zhijun was one among those few.
So when this memory surfaced, Bai Yan suddenly laughed.
"Zhi Jun, it's been a long time since I cooked for you, hasn't it?"
"It's been a long time! Over ten thousand years!"
Su Zhijun pouted at Bai Yan, yet she seemed adorably naive.
"Then today, Brother Yan will cook a loving candlelight dinner for you, okay?"
Bai Yan smiled, looking into Su Zhijun's eyes, waiting for her response.
"Sure, sure! But let's get this straight; it won't only be this meal, you have to cook for me from now on!"
"Okay, okay, I'll cook from now on! I'll cook every time!"
Bai Yan once again lovingly patted Su Zhijun's head, a gesture he loved doing to her in the past.
Back then, Su Zhijun wasn't this tall, and her figure wasn't this good either.
In that moment, the past memories of Bai Yan and Su Zhijun replayed in his mind like a movie. Although there were many changes, her cuteness, her persistence, her charm, her unease, her smile, her tears, all appeared vividly in Bai Yan's mind.
For a moment, Bai Yan was entranced.
"Brother Yan, weren't you going to cook for me? Hurry and start!"
Seeing Bai Yan in a daze staring at her, Su Zhijun naturally felt shy, biting her lip and stomping her foot in a playful pout.
"Oh, okay, okay, starting right away! It's just that Zhi Jun is so beautiful, I was momentarily lost."
Bai Yan, being trained by the An Family sisters and his women, had become better at understanding and responding in romantic situations.
Su Zhijun was unexpectedly praised by Bai Yan, feeling sweet inside, but her beautiful face turned red with shyness.
"Brother Yan, what are you saying! I won't talk to you anymore!"
Su Zhijun shyly ran into the small wooden house, hiding under the covers, not daring to come out.
How many years had it been since she last enjoyed all this?
Seeing Su Zhijun back to normal, the weight on Bai Yan's heart finally lifted.
What he feared most during those ten thousand years of waiting was that Su Zhijun would grow hateful from love, and her feelings toward him would subtly change.
But now it seemed, Su Zhijun was still as she was before.
With this thought, Bai Yan stopped hesitating, taking out pots and pans from his storage magic tool. In the Endless Star Sea, such storage magic tools were not rare; the rare ones were those that could hold living things and had large storage capacities.
Bai Yan looked at the ingredients in front of him, chuckling lightly, as it had been many years since he last cooked.
Unexpectedly, his first meal after all these years would be for Su Zhijun. All the better, just as long as he didn't mess it up.
Fortunately, as Bai Yan's strength grew, his understanding of ingredients, pairings, and mastery of cooking techniques reached a peak.
This loving candlelight dinner was perfectly completed.
Su Zhijun and Bai Yan sat at opposite ends of the table, looking at each other, their eyes full of the gentlest emotions.
They both loved each other, one waiting for ten thousand years out of love.
One, even after reincarnation and re-cultivation, losing almost all memories, still found his beloved.
