" Aily was taken aback, thrilled that Zangen had truly achieved her goal.

"Zangen, you are simply magnificent," she exclaimed.

Then casting a sidelong glance at Bowie, she added with a hint of indignation.

"Yeah, how could you progress so swiftly? You have surpassed me in ascension despite my earlier advancement to legend and my constant training on the battlefield.

Perhaps it may be that my innate talent surpasses yours by Chia West stated bluntly revealing this heart-wrenching truth.

It is indeed a matter of race.

Fairies tend to cultivate at an accelerated pace.

From her observations within this divine realm, the most adept at cultivation are the fairy and elf races, followed by the planting spirits, ghost dolls, and the undead.

The fairy clan is the fastest to ascend, possibly due to their diligent nature.

Lord Lulu, for instance, likely stands at the forefront of cultivation, perhaps having already reached the third tier of divinity.

Next in line are the planting spirits, whose slow progress is often attributed to their lifespan expiring before they can fully develop.

Finally, the elf race, particularly the little elves, exhibit a more laid-back approach, resulting in gradual yet stable growth.

Generally, elves of a similar age to BAWA hover around levels six to seven.

While the most enduring among the four primary elf races likely attain levels 8 to 9 in the realm between heaven and earth, the innate talents of the spirits and the awakened fairies from the divine realm are extraordinarily evident.

A ley gritted her teeth, unable to voice a rebuttal.

She was well aware of the situation.

In the initial years, it seemed inconsequential.

But as decades passed, the extraordinary abilities of those spirits and fairies became increasingly apparent.

They appeared as beings who could grow stronger without the need for arduous training, merely by indulging in life's pleasures and gradually progressing.

Additionally, being a long-ived race only amplified their advantages.

Exhausted from envy, one could only secretly lament their fortunate existence as the favored children of the divine, inherently gifted beyond most races.

Given time, they would flourish at their own pace.

Don't be disheartened, a ley, I merely possess good fortune, and as you mentioned, you will break through by the end of the year.

Rounded up, you are nearly akin to a demigod.

" Upon hearing her apology, a ley huffed, but she was not so petty.

With a slight twist of her mouth, hands on her hips, she looked up and asserted, "You speak an objective truth.

I'm not so small-minded.

I shall simply work hard, for everyone has their own path.

By the way, I brought a plethora of delicious food for you tonight.

" Aly retrieved a basket from her spatial chain filled with three potatoes, two chilies, half a chicken, and three eggs.

All ingredients of divine quality.

All right.

All right, the usual arrangement.

I cook.

You wash the dishes.

By Chaiwat took the basket.

Zansa has grown tall enough.

Zansa can help out too.

Zansa will assist you in cooking.

Zansa exclaimed excitedly.

The three of them entered the room heading straight for the kitchen.

By Chaiwa surveyed the ingredients had brought potatoes, chilies, chicken, and eggs.

Today she and Zansa had purchased 1 and 12 lbs of pork, a fish, a bunch of scallions, a piece of ginger, two sprigs of cilantro, and a box of six strawberries.

Tonight's menu was to prepare fried meatballs and spicy fish for Zansa.

A rather extravagant affair with most of the main ingredients being of divine quality costing a fair amount.

After a moment of contemplation by Chia announced the dishes, I will prepare all these ingredients.

fried meatballs, spicy chicken, shredded potatoes with green peppers, steamed fish, and an egg soup.

Let us eat heartily, and whatever remains can be savored tomorrow.

A Lely and Zansa and nodded in agreement, indicating their trust in the chef.

In this household, Bowi was indispensable as neither Zansa nor Aly possessed the culinary skills and could only wait to be served.

Fortunately, B Chia had a passion for cooking and was adept in the kitchen, never minding the effort to prepare meals for Zansa and Aly.

By Chiaou's culinary prowess sustained Zansa, who could eat and drink to her heart's content, while Aly enjoyed free meals and lodging as long as she resided in the divine realm.

She practically spent 3 days at by Chowu's home and only returned home for a day.

However, Ili was not merely a freeloader.

She contributed by helping out without pay and occasionally purchasing ingredients and other necessities for the household because she treats this place as her second home.

A Lee generously contributes a portion of her salary to buy Chowiwa, signifying her role as a member of the household.

A Lee leads a simple life.

She engages in battles when called upon and returns home when there are none.

of her earnings, 20% goes to her sister Alice, 40% to Bowie, while the remainder is for her personal expenses.

In Baou's home, there exists a dedicated room just for her.

Whenever she is home, the task of washing dishes falls to her.

While chores such as sweeping, mopping, and tidying up are shared among the three of them.

Although Zeson was previously too young to contribute much, she still occasionally requires the care and attention of Bchawa and Ay Lee.

The smoke from the kitchen rises towards the heavens, accompanied by the crackling sounds of cooking.

Zeissan has grown taller and can now reach the stove.

Perched on a chair in the kitchen, she diligently follows by Chiau's instructions, using a knife to chop the chicken into small pieces.

Meanwhile, by Chow stands before her, wielding a dazzling electric knife that slices the meat into tiny morsels.

The pieces are placed into a wooden bowl where a pinch of salt, spice powder, soy sauce, ginger, and pepper water are added, followed by starch, all mixed thoroughly with chopsticks.

Finally, chopped ginger and scallions are incorporated, and hot oil is poured in.

By Chia stirs continuously in one direction.

This recipe, discovered years ago in a cookbook from the library, was first attempted for Zissson, who subsequently dubbed it a divine delicacy.

These meatballs have become Zissson's cherished little fried meatballs.

However, this dish is not frequently prepared.

The costs are prohibitive as the premium pork is significantly more expensive than chicken.

Moreover, the process is cumbersome, requiring substantial oil, time, and effort, which is why despite Zeisson's fondness for it, they seldom indulge.

The hot oil reaches its peak, then is reduced to a gentle simmer.

Sizzle.

Chapter 335.

The insecure maple l one by one, the meat was rolled into grapesized balls and placed into the hot oil, sizzling audibly.

Zansson caught a whiff of the fragrant fried meatballs.

Feeling a lightness envelop her entire being.

Her eyes irresistibly drawn to the frying pan whereby Chiaua was expertly cooking, she observed by Chiaua s skillful movements as the minced meat deafly shaped in her hands, transformed into small balls and slid into the bubbling oil, creating a delightful sound.

Zansson swallowed hard, her hands instinctively pausing, though by Chowwa did not turn around.

She sensed the sudden hush in the kitchen as if her back bore eyes keenly aware of Z sansen s distraction she spoke directly sansen don't just focus on me concentrate on the knife in your hand once you finish chopping you shall be rewarded with the first batch of my fried meatballs I'll let you taste one shortly zansson stuck out her tongue playfully and resumed her task outside the kitchen utilized her magic to summon a breeze gathering the dust on the floor and tidying the room.

The sound of pattering raindrops could be heard outside.

And upon closer inspection, it was revealed that a gentle spiritual rain had begun to fall.

"Wow, the deity truly is remarkable.

" A ley exclaimed as she dashed towards the kitchen in Maple Lou s spiritual realm.

Time seemed to stretch indefinitely.

Suzi Han watched as Maple Lou approached each of the ethereal women, sharing her life story and beliefs with them.

These translucent figures gradually morphed into wisps of illusion, merging into Maple Lee's essence.

Throughout this process, Suzie Han occasionally glimpsed fragments of memories which deepened her understanding of these women.

They hailed from diverse backgrounds, having grown up carefree, diligently pursuing their studies and cultivation, ultimately converging at a competition.

There they found themselves beside a divine emperor serving as maidens only to be methodically transformed into various tools or materials by that same emperor.

These scattered memories contained images of joy as well as sorrow.

The latter often depicting scenes of sisters turning against one another in a brutal struggle for survival.

Eventually, Maple Lou stood before the most vividly defined figure among the phantoms.

She was a young girl who bore a striking resemblance to Maple Lou.

Appearing as if they were the same person at different stages of life, standing side by side, the girl embraced Maple Lou, warmly, whispering, "Thank you for holding steadfast to your faith and willing to bear our burdens.

It is such a relief to escape that place.
