Ely was satisfied when the sample cakes received much praise and appreciation.
The taste might not be as perfect as the cakes for tonight, but she was confident in her cooking skills. Since everything used high-end ingredients, the taste definitely would never disappoint.
There were six sample cakes left on the tray. She left the kitchen to share the rest with the nearby people. Sylvia, Yuuki, Sakura, and Zi Xuan got one. Then, two disciples returned and received one each.
Ely noticed Zi Xuan was fiddling with the cake with a complicated expression.
It was like a little girl who wanted to eat sweets but was afraid of getting a toothache. Thus, she gave a little push. "I've met a spiritual entity like you, and he still likes to eat and drink. However, he only devours the food's essence."
"..." Zi Xuan was doubtful, but she gave the suggestion a try.
She devoured the cake's essence and could taste it with her spirit.
*Boom*
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hopes still lives, and the dreams shall never die
