There's hardly anything left to eat in her personal space.

After a moment's contemplation, she remembers the long stored pig, a divine ingredient collected during a past conquest.

However, roasting a pig is a cumbersome task.

If only there was someone to serve it to her, that would be splendid.

She craves snacks like potato chips, French fries, spicy strips, and dried fruits.

Suzie Han smacks her lips.

Perhaps she ought to find herself a personal chef.

She retrieves a white corn cob from her backpack, gazing at it before placing it back, for it is the last one.

The next batch appears to be growing on the farm, but it will take several days to harvest.

She rolls over, pounding her bed in frustration.

Oh dear, how is it possible that a divine being like herself cannot even afford corn? Divine one, are you resting? A soft, sweet voice calls from outside the temple.

It is Dau's voice.

I have prepared food for you.

All fresh produce from the farm, expertly cooked by the finest chefs in Sprite City.

Suzie Han turns to lean against her bed, refraining from rising, merely ceasing her earlier fit of frustration.

Under the divine perception, the little sprite Du was balancing a colossal wooden food container brimming with an abundance of delicacies.

Truly deserving of her name, she was favored by the divine.

Just as she pondered whether to seek a small sprite to assist her with grilling meat, a bounty of ready-made food arrived.

The divine energy surged and layer upon layer of doors swung open, leading directly from the innermost sanctum of the divine abode to the outer temple.

With a gesture, Sue Xihan summoned Dau, who floated gracefully with a food box at top her head.

The sprite emitted a series of brief chirps, surveying her surroundings.

Zooming forward, Dau witnessed the deity resting upon the bed.

Layers of curtains cascaded down, and through the sheer fabric, the divine figure could be seen.

Having changed out of her battle attire, she dawned a gray divine robe, a standard novice outfit from the system, which Suzi Han had repurposed as loungewear due to its comfort.

The deity's gaze, soft and gentle, fell upon Dau, who lowered her eyes, too shy to meet her gaze.

Though appearing reserved, the sprite was brimming with excitement.

Seemingly the first attendant to enter the divine residence, Suzi Han observed the bubbling expressions above Dau's head, an array of chaotic patterns and diverse emotions.

Wow.

Though silent, her heart was a tempest of feeling.

Dau opened the food container, meticulously arranging the dishes on the table before standing by to serve.

The little sprite recalled the books in the library that detailed the meals of the divine realm, especially the etiquette of serving esteemed beings.

Once incomprehensible, it now resonated with her.

Serving the deity was a duty she aspired to fulfill with excellence.

Typically, the sprites used wooden plates for their meals.

But this particular feast was presented on exquisite crystal platters crafted from transparent crystal devoid of spiritual energy, similar to glass, yet more resilient.

Sufan Umbres affectionately ruffled the sprite's head and picked up her utensils, diving into the dishes laid out on the crystal plates.

Sampling the delicacies crafted by the sprite was an intriguing experience.

She selected a round seemingly unremarkable item and upon tasting it discovered to be a delightful sweet pastry filled with fruit jam.

Delicious indeed.

Suddenly, a rumble shook the very ground of the divine realm, causing the crystal dishes and table to clatter and chime in a symphony of sound.

Chapter 78.

Oh, mother, are we poisoning the fish? In an instant, Suzie Han summoned her divine power to protect the exquisite spread before her, ensuring that the bowls and plates remained steady.

She then shifted her consciousness to discern the source of the disturbance.

It turned out to be the bioluminescent willow tree, which trembled slightly in unison with the crystallin wall of the divine realm, awakening the glowing willow.

It was evident that it had not yet adapted to its new proximity to the crystallin barrier.

It stretched languidly, causing a tremor throughout the divine realm.

The willow, upon realizing the commotion it had caused, froze in place, becoming a compliant tree.

Upon awakening, it discovered its newfound frailty, overwhelming hunger, and a foggy mind.

Hadn't it just feasted? It had absorbed so many void creatures.

Surely, it had consumed an abundance.

Ah, it dawned on her that being near the crystallin wall had caused her form to grow, thereby increasing her appetite.

Merging with the wall brought both agony and ecstasy.

The torment stemmed from an intensified hunger and energy depletion.

While the joy arose from the knowledge that she would serve as the outermost defense of the divine realm, protecting the world, she cherished above all.

In that moment, the willow seemed to find the essence of existence as echoed by its companion, the quiet teacher within Pippy's mouth.

The crucial aspect was that it facilitated the hunting of void creatures, embodying the very purpose of its life as a tree.

However, during the merging process, it appeared that energy absorption could not keep pace with consumption, leading her to drift back into slumber.

It was the benevolent care of the divine master that roused her once more, restoring her intellect.

Ah, divine master.

Once again, she had missed the chance to meet you.

A sorrowful thought indeed.

The willow trembled silently, sensing the residual warmth of divine power within its being.

Revitalized, it brimmed with energy, eager to recover swiftly to reunite with the divine master.

Outside the divine realm, its branches extended, striking down passing void creatures to replenish its nourishment.

As the divine realm ceased to tremble, the willow fell silent.

Suzie Han, having sensed tranquility for some time, decided to leave it be, continuing to indulge in the delightful pastries before her.

It seemed that the willow would be fine for a while.

First, she would satiate her hunger and later check on it.

After savoring the sweet delicacies, Suzie Han turned her attention to the other dishes on the table, which included a blue broth, a salad of unknown vegetables, and succulent roasted meat glistening with juices.

Observing Ling Dau's anxious demeanor, she noted the bubbles forming a top his head.

What was happening? Could another void invasion be imminent? Would the little sprites be frightened? With a gentle flick, Suzi Hon tapped Ling Daufu on the head.

The earlier tremor had been caused by the willows awakening.

If he was concerned, he could check on her.

If he feared for the other sprites well-being, he should quickly inform them.

She reassured him that she could manage her meal without his service.

Dau had more pressing matters to attend to, thus sharing her burden.

Suzah Han's words soothed Ling Dau's expression as he concluded that if it were a trivial matter, it was far more important for the divine master to enjoy her meal.

He wished to remain by her side.

Suzi Han gently brushed aside the little chirp at top Ling Daff's head, sending him away.

She instructed Daff to promptly inform the other little sprites.

In truth, Daff<unk>'s intention was commendable.

It would not bode well if the other sprites were to be frightened.

The divine abode returned to tranquility as Suzie Han resumed her meal.

The absence of daff did not diminish her cheerful disposition.

She picked up a sweet pastry filled with fruit, devouring it in just a few bites.

The pastry filled with strawberries was perfectly sweet with a soft crust.

Indeed, the sprite's culinary skills were impressive, surpassing her own.

Next, she ventured to taste the most peculiar dish, a blue soup that had been emitting a spicy aroma since Daff had lifted the lid.

It was the most pungent dish on the table.

In the crystal bowl, the clear broth exhibited a pale blue hue, containing chunks reminiscent of radishes, morsels of fish, and strands akin to vermicelli.

Bringing the bowl closer, she inhaled its scent, reminiscent of a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

Surely the sprites would not present her with something they deemed unpalatable.

This dish must possess a delightful flavor.

She cautiously took a sip of the soup, and her face flushed instantly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

The intertwining sensations of sourness and spiciness overwhelmed her taste buds.

It had been quite some time since she had indulged in spicy food since entering the divine realm.

This dish, appearing as a refreshing blue broth, bore the peak and intensity of a fiery hot and sour soup.

She scooped up a piece of meat with her spoon, succulent white flesh, tender and smooth, imbued with a tangy zest, akin to consuming sour and spicy fish.

The radish-like vegetable was soft and absorbed the broth, pairing delightfully with a springy vermicelli.

Meanwhile, a little mermaid gazed apprehensively at the sashimi before her.
