Chapter 223: Chapter 223: The Cuisine That Truly Touches the Soul!

"Grandma!"

Chen Meng woke up, looking upward following the sound.

It was an elderly woman in a black gown, her hair graying, yet dignified, composed, and elegant. The passage of years had endowed her with a unique charm.

The moment she saw the old woman, tears uncontrollably slid from the corners of Chen Meng’s eyes.

This was her grandmother who had already "passed away."

And the sea of wheat in front of her was the most profound place in her memory.

Her grandmother’s initial Spiritual Beast was the Wheat Field Guardian, and this sea of wheat was specifically planted for her Spiritual Beast.

Chen Meng’s childhood was spent shuttling through this wheat field in Yan City and her grandfather’s garden.

Chen Meng’s father, Chen Hong, was an archaeology enthusiast in his youth, spending most of his time immersed in ancient ruins, where he met Chen Meng’s mother, Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue, the little princess of the Dragon-controlling Jiang Family, also loved exploring ancient ruins. The two, sharing the same interests, quickly fell deeply in love during their times together, and soon Chen Meng was born.

After Chen Meng’s birth, the two spent a few years with her but could no longer restrain their burning "archaeological passion."

So, Chen Hong entrusted Chen Meng to his parents and resumed exploring ancient ruins with Jiang Xue.

Truly illustrating the saying, "Parents are true love, children are an accident."

Therefore, Chen Meng grew up with her grandparents, developing a deep affection for the elderly couple.

Although she lacked her parents’ company, the affection from her grandparents made Chen Meng’s childhood very happy.

Until she was ten years old.

An unexpected portal to the Spirit Realm appeared in the old district of Salt City, coincidentally connecting to an area known as Red Lotus Volcano in the Spirit Realm, dominated by a Monarch Ninth Rank Karma Fire Flame Dragon.

This was a cruel, brutal, and cunning evil dragon, with an extremely strong sense of territory. Upon discovering the portal to the Spirit Realm, it led the Spiritual Beasts of Red Lotus Volcano to descend upon Earth.

Countless fire-type Spiritual Beasts surged out of the portal, many of them wantonly harming the humans in the city, even consuming them. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The Spirit Masters of Yan City quickly mounted a counterattack, but Yan City was only a county-level city, and even the director of the Spirit Control Bureau was just a Quasi-Master Level Spirit Master, vastly outmatched by the power of the Karma Fire Flame Dragon.

In an instant, the entire Yan City turned into a sea of flames.

Combatting the Karma Fire Flame Dragon would require at least a top-tier Master!

Upon discovering the situation through satellites, Dongxia hastily dispatched the closest top-tier Master to Yan City, while nearby Spirit Control Armies also began providing rapid support.

Reaching the location of the Karma Fire Flame Dragon would roughly take this top-tier Master about 15 minutes.

Although it was only a quarter of an hour, it meant countless families, countless lives would perish in the flames.

When the Karma Fire Flame Dragon descended, Chen Meng and her grandparents were enjoying a local festival in the town.

Feeling the presence of the Karma Fire Flame Dragon, Chen Meng’s grandmother gently touched young Chen Meng’s head and smiled kindly:

"Grandpa and Grandma need to go handle something now, can you and Linglong go home first? We’ll be back after we’re done."

At that time, young Chen Meng felt something odd in her grandparents’ gaze, but being young, she couldn’t understand.

She obediently nodded her head, riding on the back of the Jade Qilin Dragon back home.

Meanwhile, her grandparents rushed towards the location of the Karma Fire Flame Dragon.

They were both Master Level Spirit Masters, the strongest forces currently in Yan City!

The two elderly people subsequently engaged in battle with the Karma Fire Flame Dragon wreaking havoc in the city.

The strength of the two elderly Spiritual Beasts was originally inferior to the Karmic Fire Flame Dragon of Monarch Ninth Rank, and when the cunning Karmic Fire Flame Dragon realized that as long as it attacked other weaker humans, Chen Meng’s grandparents would inevitably choose to protect them, it began to frenziedly attack the city’s buildings and humans.

This would better deplete the energy of the two elderly Spiritual Beasts.

Not long after, the Spiritual Beasts of the two elderly had already reached their limits.

But they did not retreat; the only thought in the two elderly’s hearts was to save more people and hold on until reinforcements arrived.

In the end, both elderly and their Spiritual Beasts perished in the battle, and the top Master finally arrived...

Surrounded and attacked by the strong who arrived one after another, the Karmic Fire Flame Dragon fled in embarrassment back to the depths of Red Lotus Volcano, and the other invading Spiritual Beasts were also dealt with by the Spirit Masters...

But Chen Meng never saw her grandparents come home.

It was not until a week later, upon hearing the news, her parents who had rushed back from some ancient ruins finally broke this tragic news to little Chen Meng.

From then on, Chen Meng began to close off her heart, even harboring resentment towards her parents.

At that time, both Chen Hong and Jiang Xue were already Master Level Spirit Masters, if her parents had also been in Yan City that day, perhaps her grandparents would not have died.

This had always been a knot in Chen Meng’s heart.

So seeing the appearance of the white-haired elder again, she felt an unspeakable satisfaction in her heart.

Even though she knew everything in front of her was fake, just a dream induced by eating the nostalgia-filled zongzi, at this moment Chen Meng dearly wished that this dream would last a little longer, and even longer.

"Xiao Meng, why are you crying?"

The elderly man in the dream, seemingly with his own consciousness, asked with concern.

Of course, this was actually just the manifestation of the image of her grandmother from Chen Meng’s memory.

"Grandma, I’m fine, just very happy to see you."

At this moment, Chen Meng was no longer her usually aloof self, but like a little girl, she vigorously wiped her tears and smiled.

"You silly girl, what’s there to be so happy about. Let’s go, let’s go to the temple fair!"

Saying so, the white-haired elder scooped up little Chen Meng and placed her atop something resembling a scarecrow, the Wheat Field Guardian.

As the sun set, an elderly man, a young girl, and a Wheat Field Guardian roamed through a golden sea of wheat.

This was the most beautiful memory from Chen Meng’s childhood.

At this moment, she wished that this golden sea of wheat would never end...

Not knowing how long she had walked in the golden sea of wheat, a white light suddenly appeared in front of Chen Meng, and she then woke up.

She wiped the tear stains from the corners of her eyes and glanced at the time displayed on her Spirit Control Bracelet.

Only 1 minute had passed in the real world.

Then her gaze unconsciously moved to Chen Mo, and her lips curved into a slight smile.

The nostalgic zongzi made by Chen Mo and Tuantuan had not completely unraveled her heart knot, but it had relieved much of her pain.

In this imaginary "dream," she suddenly realized — her grandparents’ greatest wish was for her to grow up safely and joyfully.

"Thank you, Chen Mo."

She silently said in her heart.

Chen Mo and Tuantuan were patiently waiting for the judges to wake up.

Seeing the tears at the corners of the judges’ eyes, he knew he had succeeded.

This was a dish that truly touched their souls!
