Xie Lian cooking

Note:
I wanted to make a fluff only story so here it is. It'll just be Xie Lian trying to learn how to cook- HAHAHA and Hua Cheng being the man that can eat his cooking. Do tell me if there are any mistakes.

This is a after-story. Spoilers alert.

  The soup looked like something that came out of a whale's stomach. Mushed, purple, it looked like a gooey monster. It gave off a scent that made people want to lose their sense of smell. "I clearly followed the recipe but it still turned out like this.." Xie Lian said as he continued to mix the cauldron filled with the so called soup. "Gege, I think it needs more salt. It tastes better than last time." Hua Cheng said as he dipped his finger into the soup and tasted it. Xie Lian then proceeded to add more salt accordingly, but it didn't really help save the soup.

"This is bad, I invited some of the officials for a feast and I really wanted to surprise them with my cooking." Xie Lian couldn't help but sigh. Hua Cheng wrapped his arms around Xie Lian and leaned his head on his shoulder. "It's fine gege. It tastes perfectly fine to me. They'll probably be okay with it." Hua Cheng commented. Xie Lian sighed and continued to study on recipes and how to improve on cooking.

"You should just cancel the feast and cook just for me." Hua Cheng smoothly took the cookbook out of Xie Lian's hands and threw it onto the floor. He then proceeded to kiss Xie Lian's nape, his hands started to roam around Xie Lian's body. "San Lang, I already invited them how can I cancel it now, it's happening in a few days. It's impolite to do so." Xie Lian calmly explained. Xie Lian brushes off Hua Cheng hands and picked up the cookbook. Hua Cheng couldn't help but pout. Hua Cheng watched as Xie Lian concentrated on his cookbook. Awaiting for the disaster in a few days time.

"Welcome!" Xie Lian warmly said as the officials, Mu Qing, Feng Xin, Pei Ming, Quan Yizhen as well as Yushi Huang, arrived at his shrine. Xie Lian also invited Qing Xuan, who no longer is a god.  "Ayy, Xie Liann. I knew you wouldn't forget about inviting mee." Qing Xuan exclaimed as he hung his arm around Xie Lian shoulders. "Of course." Xie Lian replied with a smile. Xie Lian's figure seemed to shine brighter than ever, causing Qing Xuan to squint his eyes.

"Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here, you snake."
Mu Qing and Feng Xin started to bicker and bicker.

"I'm honoured to have you here Yushi Huang." Xie Lian was especially grateful to have the rain master presence. "I'm glad, I brought some gifts for you." Yushi Huang passed a basket of fresh vegetables to Xie Lian's arms. "Thank you." Xie Lian accepted them gratefully and placed them on the table.

As everyone got down on their seats, Xie Lian went to the kitchen. "Gege." Hua Cheng called out to Xie Lian. He pointed at the plates of meatballs. "Thank you, San Lang." Xie Lian then carried out the plates of meatballs to the dining table. The scent of the meatballs travelled to the dining room.

Mu Qing and Feng Xin felt danger coming, they started to sweat.

"I have some work to do, I need to hurry off.." Feng Xin said as he tried to leave. Suddenly a murderous aura could be sensed from the corner of the dining room.

"AH! ITS YOU WHY ARE YOU HERE CRIMSON FLOWER!" Feng Xin shouted angrily as he pointed to Hua Cheng. "Why can't I be here?" Hua Cheng shrugged. Xie Lian heard the commotion so he quickened his steps to the dining room. Once he arrived, he caught Hua Cheng and Feng Xin arguing, Hua Cheng hands reached towards his belt and so did Feng Xin. A fight was about to break out but the scent of the meatballs made Feng Xin remember what he was going to do. Mu Qing also silently got up, wanting to make his way out but was stopped by Hua Cheng. "I made you guys meatballs! I hope you like them" Xie Lian smiled brightly as he placed the plates on the table. His eyes were filled with expectations as he looked at each of them.

The meatballs looked as though arms were going to grow out of them, something green seemed to the hovering around it. The atmosphere became stagnant. Everyone gulped as they looked at the meatballs they were served. Having tasted Xie Lian's cooking before, Yizhen, Feng Xin and Mu Qing couldn't help but tremble. Cold sweat flowed down their forehead. Even Qing Xuan, Yushi Huang, Pei Ming couldn't help but tremble a little. "Ahem, how's it going with the crimson flower?" Pei Ming said trying to distract Xie Lian. Feng Xin and Mu Qing veins were about to pop out as they slammed the table and shouted "WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?!?!"

"It's been going well. Hahaa." Xie Lian said bashfully. "The food's going to be cold, please eat it." Despite Pei Ming's efforts, they couldn't distract Xie Lian from the meal. "Seconds please." A deep, husky voice sounded in the shrine. "Of course, San Lang!" Xie Lian exclaimed, his eyes filled with joy. Everyone looked at Hua Cheng with bewilderment.

"This guy actually stomached it down." Everyone was shocked by Hua Cheng. "Why aren't you guys eating?" Hua Cheng sneered. Just then, a soothing voice was heard, "Apologies, Taizi Dianxia but an issue seemed to have occured in my territory." Yushi Huang said, her face was calm and charming. "Oh! I can't be keeping you here then. I'll make you a meal next time." Xie Lian replied. Yushi Huang was the first to escape. Qing Xuan looked down on his plate, "It couldn't be that bad right, they're just meatballs.." Qing Xuan tried to brainwash himself, he hesitantly picked the fork up. Pei Ming, Mu Qing, Feng Xin and Yizhun all prayed in their hearts. Together they ate the meatball.

The first one to be knocked down was Yizhun, his mouth was foaming as if he consumed poison. Feng Xin and Mu Qing faces paled as they desperately tried to swallow the meatball. Pei Ming and Qing Xuan passed on. Xie Lian was shocked by this scene and could only laugh awkwardly.

"Weak." Hua Cheng said in triumph.

After the feast, everyone went back with hollow faces, their bodies felt like twigs. They thought to themselves never to eat Xie Lian's cooking ever again. It could be used as a weapon. Xie Lian didn't know whether to cry or laugh and only waved them goodbye.

Hua Cheng wrapped his arms around Xie Lian's waist and nibbled on his ear. "Gege should just cook for me." Xie Lian could no longer deny it no longer, his cooking is horrible. However, he didn't really want to change his way of cooking anymore. It reminded him of his late mother, her cooking was also horrendous. If she was alive, probably only San Lang could eat her cooking.

Xie Lian chuckled as he thought of that. "San Lang, I bet my mother would've loved you." Hua Cheng lips curved up, "That's good."

They looked at each other and smiled. Hua Cheng gave Xie Lian a peck on the forehead showing his adoration, a kiss on the eye showing his appreciation and a deep kiss on the lips showing his love.

Xie Lian couldn't help but blush. His cheeks were rosy as he bashfully returned the kisses. They then cuddled together outside the shrine as they watched the sunset.

Note:
Haha, I hope you liked the only fluff story. I was thinking of adding an nsfw part but I didn't in the end so as to not ruin the fluffy mood.
