Chapter 399: Chapter 398: Yuchuan Ayaka’s Seven-colored Sea (Part 2)

"This is my ’finishing move’ dish!"

Yuchuan Ayaka said.

The four judges’ gazes were firmly captivated by the dreamy cake on the plate.

Chiyoda Aichi huffed and puffed as she jogged over, handing over the microphone, "Miss Yuchuan, is this your creation? What’s its name?"

Turning around, facing the approaching camera.

Her delicately featured face filled the frame.

"The Seven-Colored Dream Ocean... Mousse Cake..." she said slowly.

"The Seven-Colored Dream Ocean Mousse Cake?"

Chiyoda Aichi repeated in one breath, her gaze equally caught by the beautiful dish.

"But I prefer another name." Yuchuan Ayaka took a turn, "The Seven-colored Sea!"

The Seven-colored Sea!

The four judges nodded, Chiyoda Aichi nodded, and even the audience nodded in unison.

Such a vivid name!

For, on the surface of the cake, there was truly a miniature seven-colored ocean!

"Let’s give it a taste—"

With a smile of confidence gracing her lips, Yuchuan Ayaka held a knife, cutting the cake into five equal portions, and placed each slice onto a pristine white saucer, paired with a knife and fork.

Surprised and delighted, Chiyoda Aichi accepted a plate from Yuchuan Ayaka, exclaiming with shock and joy, "Do I, do I get one too?"

"Yes, Aizhi, you have one as well."

Yuchuan Ayaka nodded.

She and Chiyoda Aichi were of a similar age and clearly knew each other; when she spoke, she winked at her.

"Thank you!"

Chiyoda Aichi swiftly tucked the microphone into her shoulder, one hand holding the plate, the other grasping the shiny little dessert fork, her eyes twinkling as she gently speared a small piece of mousse cake, her movements incredibly gentle as if afraid to shatter and disperse the seven-colored ocean on its surface.

Fork lifted.

The cake reached her mouth, and she inspected it carefully again, ensuring the Seven-colored Wine Jellies were intact before swallowing the cake with a movement of throat!

Ha!

Utterly light, fluffy, it was as if eating a mouthful of cotton candy, making the woman host’s eyes widen in disbelief.

Then her shoulders shook violently.

The milk bomb detonated, and Chiyoda Aichi desperately tried to contain the rich aroma that was threatening to burst forth through her mouth and nose; in this fierce battle, she straightened her fair neck, as a quick blush spread across her cheeks.

"Ah!"

A scream.

As the fresh rainbow cocktail began to spread into the pool of yogurt, Chiyoda Aichi’s microphone slipped from her shoulder, forcefully hitting the ground, the entire host instinctively crouched down, burying her head between her arms, her body trembling intermittently, and she actually began to sob.

So delicious it brought her to tears.

She was truly crying, the microphone lying nearby, her sobbing sounds transmitted through the microphone to the venue, reaching the various regions receiving the live broadcast.

"So delicious!"

But soon, Chiyoda Aichi rose to her feet, wiping away tears.

Whether it was an illusion or reality, as this female host wiped her tears facing the camera, her beautiful eyes took on seven colors, rippling with enchanting patterns.

The falling tears shone like diamonds, the sparkling seven colors so breathtakingly beautiful.

This scene was as if from a fairy tale world where a princess standing in a castle watched a Guardian Knight in full armor on a white horse, proudly holding the kingdom’s flag as he resolutely left.

The imagery was too strong, too fairy-tale-like.

Had Chiyoda Aichi also tasted a similar gourmet world?

"Snap!"

Suddenly, the audience’s attention was drawn to another unexpected change.

Far Moon Commander, Tiqie Xianzuowen was the second taster. He slowly ate a piece of cake, and then with a twitch of his white eyebrow, whoosh, his robe spontaneously slipped off, revealing his brawny upper body.

"Perfection! The pinnacle of cake!" he said in a deep voice, "The ingredients are beyond reproach—sugar, eggs, milk—all are perfect. This is the pinnacle of handling ingredients with finesse!"

Yuchuan Abbot was the third taster.

"Huh—"

She exhaled deeply before she could manage to dispel the seven-colored brilliance in her eyes, returning to her initially stern expression.

"Yes, the perfection of the cake is only indicative of the overall ’killer’ dish," Yuchuan Abbot said. "To be more specific, this dish encompasses multiple layers of ultimate flavors—"

"First of all, is the ’mousse’s smoothness, it dissolves upon entering the mouth. You managed to achieve an ultimate texture by hand that rivals precise molecular instruments—impressive!"

Upon hearing these words,

Tiqie Ailisha, sitting in a corner of ’The Room of the Moonlit Sky’, was visibly shaken.

A handcraft that rivals precise molecular instruments?

Yuchuan Abbot continued, "Next, is the base of the Chiffon Cake. Not to mention other ingredients, just the matcha powder mixed into the material has created a refreshing taste. It echoes the rainbow cocktail jellies, enhancing each other to reach perfection!"

"Finally, it’s the ultimate flavor of the rainbow cocktail, which doesn’t need extra words from me."

Having said that, the nun lowered her eyelids, gripped her knife and fork, and continued to enjoy the cake on her plate, without uttering another word.

The camera then moved to Chiyoda.

After a while, the old witch opened her eyes, the colorful light in her pupils flashing momentarily and then vanishing.

She looked kindly at Yuchuan Ayaka, who stood in front of the judges’ seats, "Is the Chef’s Heart Mark you’ve infused into this ’killer’ dish ’ocean’ and ’dream’?"

Yuchuan Ayaka replied respectfully, "Yes."

"No wonder!"

The old witch nodded with a smile.

"With your own hands, you have successfully created a world of a dreamy ocean, your fairy tale kingdom, where every taster can gain their own experiences through your cooking."

The camera finally turned to Master Yizhen from Shi Lin Temple.

The old monk, grinning, was clearly satisfied with this generation’s prodigy from Shi Lin Temple.

"Ayaka, this is your ’killer’ dish, with multiple ultimate flavors blending seamlessly. ’Ocean’ and ’dream,’ your marks, and this dish are a match made in heaven!"

Master Yizhen exclaimed, "A chef must understand themselves, and incorporate what they’re good at onto a single plate!"

"Why is it called ’killer’? Aside from the entangled ultimate tastes, the Chef’s Heart Mark also corresponds with the cooking technique. It’s a crucial aspect in constructing the culinary world! If the theme is limited to a patisserie showdown, then your ’killer’ recipe is invincible!"

The venue was dead silent for a long time.

Then, after a moment, cheers began to echo thunderously throughout the Far Moon Campus.

"Whoa!"

Chiyoda Aichi regained her composure, her voice loud, "It seems the four judges are quite pleased with Chef Yuchuan’s ’Seven-colored Sea’ dish!"

At that moment, a staffer hurried over and whispered a few words.

Hearing this, Chiyoda Aichi instinctively looked towards another staffer who was already standing by the gong, lifting the hammer to strike.

"Dang—"

The clear sound resonated.

Chiyoda Aichi hurriedly pointed to the gap above the stage in ’The Room of the Moonlit Sky’ and exclaimed, "Look! The moon has moved to the other side of the gap. 2 hours and 50 minutes have passed, leaving only the final 10 minutes till the cooking segment ends!"

Whish!

The audience, the guests, the judges.

All at once turned to look at another kitchen station.

It was then, Xia Yu was seen holding the last piece of squid and standing by the fifth feather made of ice on the bird-shaped ice sculpture!

Instantly, a collective gasp was heard.

Previously, everyone was captivated by Yuchuan Ayaka’s performance; now, as they turned back, the bird-shaped ice sculpture on the ground had gradually begun to reveal—a presence!

Many people rubbed their eyes in shock, bewildered by the sight.
