“Do you think you could make your come a little sweeter?” Rian asked. 1qX7G5

There was a certain dark light in Ren Xiyang’s eyes. He turned around to face Rian and masturbated and stimulated him with a vengeance, until Rian came and came and couldn’t come anymore. Not even his young and vigorous body could raise its flag after Ren Xiyang was done with him.

Unsurprisingly, during this ‘ordeal’, Rian lost his ‘precious’ globules of Ren Xiyang’s first come.

Ren Xiyang carried the so-satisfied-he-was-dazed prince out of the bath. Rian had a blissful smile on his face, cooperating easily as Ren Xiyang dried him off and packed him into clothes.

Ren Xiyang had put Rian down on the sofa and took out his notebook and pen for some actual conversation when Rian finally snapped out of it. vZaXO1

“—Ah!! Where’s your come?! Where’s your semen???”

“Down the drain,” Ren Xiyang deadpanned.

Rian made a sad face. “Oh. I wanted to keep it for commemoration.”

Ren Xiyang’s face darkened.

Rian added smugly, “Did you notice that you came after I helped you and magically stimulated you? We’re definitely doing that again.”

“Yes, well.”

“So?”

“So what?” AiQjuU

“So, how did you do it? How is come, ejaculate, semen produced?”

Ren Xiyang gave Rian a look of suspicion. Was Rian truly curious, or was he procrastinating on talking about the cooking duel contest? The answer was likely both. “Do you really want to know, right now?”

Rian put his hands on his thighs like a good boy, ready to listen.

Ren Xiyang got up and sat down close to Rian. He opened his notebook to a fresh page and started to sketch. rIVzdW

Rian pressed up against Ren Xiyang to ‘get a better look.’ “Amazing, I never knew Earl Rosewood was one of those boys who like drawing penises in their notebook.”

“A-plus for anatomy, Your Highness,” Ren Xiyang said drily. “Look here. I found that semen came from several locations. The testicles are the most obvious. But there is also something near the bladder that produces fluid, something else that I believe is the prostate, and two more very tiny glands near that. The fluids and secretions from all these parts mix together in the urethra to produce the semen that comes out.”

“Interesting.”

“I didn’t realise that the prostate was involved. But I did know that it’s the gland that makes anal penetration feel good. Normally, it can be stimulated from inside the anus.” ubZT0a

Rian’s eyes deepened. “So that’s why it feels good.”

“Yes. Studying how to produce come has had some good side-effects. I’ve improved how my penis gets hard. And I developed a prostate, which would be useful in the future.” Ren Xiyang covered Rian’s face with his hand. “Not right now.”

Rian kissed the palm of his hand. “Yes, my dear, not doing it now. But can’t we discuss it right now?” He pulled Ren Xiyang’s hand away from his face. “Penetrative sex is the next category on your list. Don’t be shy,” he teased.

“Right now, we need to talk about the cooking contest,” Ren Xiyang said, with a frown on his face. “We’re going to lose, but we need to make a good meal.” wg1MqN

“We’re not going to lose.”

“If you didn’t offer yourself to be my mage assistant, I might have had a chance.”

Rian pouted. “Who else would you have picked instead? Your new best friend, Count Aegean?”

“I would have preferred a few chef assistants,” Ren Xiyang said. “How many times have you cooked in your life, Your Highness?” XIkxsD

“Yes, my Lord.”

Ren Xiyang flipped back through his notebook to his prepared list. “You have potential but lack practice and personal experience. Your best cooking skill, which we should capitalise on, is wrapping dumplings. You’re also good at methodical spells and making several identical products. So this is my planned menu…”

Ren Xiyang laid out the three-course menu, the different elements they needed to make, and how the work would be divided up. “If it weren’t for tonight’s activities, we would have practised. We have to practice every chance we can get leading up to the contest. You know what that means.”

Rian listened with a smile. “I love you, by the way.” XuDmkd

Ren Xiyang gave him a look of suspicion. “You’ve been saying that a lot recently.”

“Oh? What?”

“That you love me.”

Rian smiled innocently. “Are you prohibiting me? Why can’t I say what I want?” ZHoxUA

Ren Xiyang raised an eyebrow. Rian was definitely thinking up something sneaky, but he couldn’t figure out what exactly. So he returned to the task at hand. “Copy out my notes for the contest and memorise it well. I’m going to bed.”

He didn’t forget to give Rian a good-night kiss before he left.

Whatever it was that Rian was thinking sneakily about, Ren Xiyang didn’t have time to ponder. The days at the Hraun Nation were packed—King Firestone seemed to have boundless energy.

The weather was warm and sunny, and King Firestone had many things about his country that he wanted to show. There were cultural sites with complex and inspiring buildings and structures, all the way to the local farming methods, with different growing zones depending on the altitude and side of the mountains. He showed them their sea-salt-making industry, and the water desalination system that worked during the summer. He took them out to sea to visit the other islands, to fish the local fish and to meet different people and nobles across the nation. KRljdV

In the evenings after big dinners—every dinner felt like a party—Ren Xiyang wrangled Rian into cooking practice, from basic skills, to coordination in the kitchen.

Given the packed schedule, and to give time for the preparations, King Firestone decided to squeeze the cooking contest towards the end of the visit.

On the day of the contest, the very big, very public square that they used to host festivals was set up for the contest. There was a tall and large square platform in the middle, where the contestants would cook. The square was festooned with decorative banners. As the time approached, hundreds of people gathered, chattering with interest.

Guards escorted King Firestone, Earl Rosewood, Crown Prince Rian, Princess Cora Firestone, and her assistant Princess Sunna Firestone, down a prepared clear walkway to the central platform. z5o0v

“Good morning, all!” King Firestone said, raising his arms in greeting. “Welcome to the very first Hraun-Sedaverian Cooking Contest! Today, you will all experience a feast for the eyes. And for the lucky few, there will be a feast for the stomach!”

“First, I’m sure she needs no welcome, but let me welcome her nonetheless. My aunt, Princess Cora Firestone, and her assistant today, Princess Sunna Firestone!”

The two princesses raised their hands, much to the cheers of the locals.

King Firestone continued, “Princess Cora is the esteemed culinary goddess of the Firestone family. She has been cooking for longer than many of you have been alive. She has cooked everything that could be eaten on the Hraun Islands, and has satisfied even the pickiest of royal children.” d7BH48

The crowd laughed.

“Her decades of experience, practice, and skill will serve her well in today’s contest.”

Princess Cora nodded towards the audience with a smile.

“With her, is her assistant, young Princess Sunna Firestone. As a rare water mage in the Firestone family, she has honed her cooking skills under Princess Cora Firestone’s tutelage. We look forward to seeing what Princess Cora Firestone and Princess Sunna Firestone can cook together.” qXtRrz

“Wooo!!” the crowd cheered.

King Firestone then turned to the other side of the stage. “Now, as you may know, we have a large group of Sedaverians visiting. On the other team, we have Earl Ayden Rosewood and his assistant, Crown Prince Rian Azure!”

The locals were polite and friendly people: they also cheered heartily for the visitors.

“Earl Rosewood may have lived less than Princess Cora has been cooking”—there were smatterings of laughter—“but he has lived a full life so far! Inheriting his fiefland at a young age, Earl Rosewood is best known for his love for farming. He has created new and delicious food products, and previously won a cooking duel against young Baron Natrium of Angio! Will he be able to maintain his champion status? We’ll find out today!” hp7LeA

Earl Rosewood bowed to the audience.

“With him, is his assistant Crown Prince Rian. Despite his young age, he has created and led various associations and organisations for the betterment of Sedaveria. While his cooking experience is limited, magical duels are no stranger to Crown Prince Rian. Crown Prince Rian and Earl Rosewood have worked together on multiple products, projects, and duels. Will they be able to work together in this cooking contest? We can’t wait to see, isn’t that right?”

“Right!!” the crowd roared jovially.

King Firestone beamed. “Our contestants will have three hours to produce dishes for thirty people! To my front, we have ten judges from Hraun, and ten judges from Sedaveria!” King Firestone gestured to the small, long, platform that was placed facing the main stage. A bridge connected the judges’ platform with the main platform. There, twenty people sat behind tables, with papers in front of them. vzHR Q

One of the Hraun judges stood up and spoke. “Yes, we will be judging on magical complexity, performance, and taste. We wish the contestants the best of luck.”

King Firestone nodded. “Not only that, we will be picking ten randomly chosen audience members to join the judges, at the end of the cooking time.”

“Me, me, me!” several people shouted, making others laugh.

King Firestone grinned. “I wish our audience the best of luck. Now, who will be the ultimate magical chef? Who will win the hearts, stomachs, and acclaim of the people? Contestants, to your cooking stations. Three, two, one, begin!” nk47l0

Ren Xiyang glanced at Rian, and they began.

The volume of food for thirty people was a lot, and it all started with preparatory work. Rian floated up all the vegetables up into the air, and Ren Xiyang washed them with water, and then used water blades to cut them all up into suitable sized pieces. Rian made the droplets of water in the air sparkle, making the vegetables all look refreshing and attractive.

“Ooohh!”

Through the three hours, Ren Xiyang and Rian worked together like this to cook while putting on a show. The show elements themselves were developed and planned mostly by Rian. Xpr MR

No, they didn’t use lightning as part of their routine. Ren Xiyang had put his foot down.

On the other side of the platform, Princess Cora and Princess Sunna worked together like smoothly flowing water. Princess Sunna’s actions and spells and manipulated water arced through the air in elegant, beautiful shapes that made people feel relaxed and content and not at all impatient. Princess Cora’s movements were steady and measured, setting a balanced counterpoint.

“Ahhh.”

They too had to prepare many ingredients. Pots of soup bubbled, and the grilled meat aroma spread through the square. The two princesses moved about their kitchen with ease and familiarity. KVo5LU

King Firestone and the judges kept up lively commentary throughout. Aside from introducing the judges, they also watched and commented. Contest staff ran back and forth between the judges and the cooking stage to ask and answer questions on behalf of others.

“Oh, what are the Sedaverians doing now?”

“Yes sir, I asked Earl Rosewood, and he says they’re making dipping sauces!”

“I see, I see, that explains all the different ingredients and little bowls.” kmgWF

“Yes, that’s right!”

“Oh, oh, there’s a lovely smell coming from Princess Cora’s pot.”

“Yes, yes, I was watching carefully. I saw her put in oil, onion, garlic, three different types of chilli….”

“Oh, what is Earl Rosewood doing now?” 4BLM8v

“Ah, I quickly asked Earl Rosewood. He said they were making rice paper.”

“Paper? Can we eat that?”

“Who knows! But what I do know is that Earl Rosewood is using fish that he caught himself this morning.”

“I don’t know what either team is making, but I can’t tell you how excited I am to eat it…” 9vMmth

The square itself was lively, never becoming quiet. People sold food and ate food while watching.

“Did you see how Princess Cora did that?”

“Mama, Mama, I’m hungry!!!”

“Get a taste of some unique Sedaverian cuisine here!” mdgKFR

Washing, slicing, cutting, cooking, mixing, grilling, tasting—three hours went by. While the food was cooking, the contestants had some time to rest and take a break. Then, there was the rush to make the finishing touches and serve all the dishes for the judges. Magic glittered as food elements pulled themselves together.

“—Three, two, one, stop! All chefs in the first-ever cooking contest between Hraun and Sedaveria, step away from your kitchens!” King Firestone announced.

The crowd cheered. They had ebbed and flowed throughout the event, and now they were at their peak size.

“Now, we will pick ten lucky audience members to join the judges at the judging table!” King Firestone said. He grinned widely. “My Queen, if you may.” IJNWY0

Queen Firestone stepped forward and waved her hands across the crowd. Light descended upon ten people in the crowd. “You have been chosen, congratulations. Please make way for our lucky chosen to come forward.”

“WOAA!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“Aww no…” ZNyCsm

The ten lucky people—and the accompanying parents for one of them—went to the judges’ stage, with the light upon them following them. The staff there led the new judges up to their seats.

“Now, for the moment the judges—and myself—have all been waiting for,” King Firestone said. “Earl Rosewood and Crown Prince Rian, as our esteemed guests, step forward first.” He passed the stage to Earl Rosewood.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Thank you,” Ren Xiyang said. “Prince Rian, if you may.”

Rian floated over the entrees first, setting them in front of the judges, while Ren Xiyang handed extra servings to King Firestone, Queen Firestone, Princess Cora, and Princess Sunna. wKx1rD

“Thank you all for your patience,” Ren Xiyang said, his voice magically projected across the square. “My menu today consists of three courses. The first course is dumplings. One is filled with prawns, another with stewed goat, and the last with seaweed and tofu. These are accompanied by a spicy chilli sauce, a rich sesame sauce, and a tangy fresh lime dipping sauce. Please have a try of each of the sauces first, before choosing your favourites to dip the dumplings in.”

I watched an episode of Iron Chef. Channelling their commentary vibes 😆😆😆

By the way, I just realised that King Firestone’s being named by his family name, not his given name, unlike the other kings… But I don’t want to change it now lol.
