"No body? How could it be?"

"Then what we just saw was actually a ghost?!"

"But how can ordinary people see the ghost's words?"

“…Calm down…think…”

The creatures without a body are strange species called ghosts. Some of them are pathetic creatures that have not fallen into the cycle of reincarnation after death, while others are powerful beings born and raised.

Obviously, the boy below, who is similar to an ordinary person, is not the latter, but the former.

But if that's the case, why? Why can ordinary people see it?!

Ghosts, except for those powerful beings and ordinary ghosts, cannot be seen by ordinary people!

Or... what's not noticed here?

Xing's eyes were faint, and she was more and more looking forward to Meilin's cooking skills. Perhaps, after tasting the other party's skills, she could solve all the doubts in her heart.

"Stay waiting. If it was him, then I would never let go this time!"

In front of the other four women, Xing made his own vow.

...

Everything happened on the platform, Merlin, who was thinking about the theme of the finals below, did not see it.

With his head down, he kept thinking about everything related to the subject in his mind.

The topics of previous finals are the same as those of the preliminary rounds, the difference is that the scope of the topic will be changed.

There is no exception in this session. The topic is still "fish", and the scope is limited to... "love".

Love. A kind of emotion, a little bit roughly. Love can be divided into friendship, fatherly love, motherly love, children's love, brotherly love, sisterly love, brotherly love, lovers' love, etc.

It can be said that this is a considerable range, and any point in it should be considered a question-oriented one.

But, what kind of love is what the judges on the platform really want to see?

Even Merlin could not make a judgment.

Unlike other contestants who have to think about the topic and think about how to present the dishes, Merlin seemed to have countless recipes in his mind. The only thing he needed to do was to set a question and then, based on the recipe in his mind, he would make a dish that matched the questions.

However...the topics related to love made Merlin a little helpless.

It’s not that he can’t make fish dishes related to love, but not to mention anything else, there are more than twenty recipes that have passed away in his mind.

It's just... it's not right, something is wrong.

Such a simple dish is really what the judges on the platform, especially the woman, wanted to show her?

Merlin is not a fool. He can more or less understand the meaning of some stars, but... it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to satisfy expectations and complete it.

Father's love is like a mountain, mother's love is like a sea, lovers who vow to a great relationship, brothers who are both trapped in their friends...

Words related to love are constantly echoing in Merlin's mind. He is looking for it. He hopes to find an answer.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be useless.

If he had been in contact with Xing for a while, then through the deduction method, he might be able to guess the other party’s thoughts. But now, Merlin and the other party are just meeting for the first time... Wait! The first time we met?! Is this really the case?

A light of inspiration suddenly flashed in Meilin's mind, and he seemed to understand what Xing meant.

If you are really the person you know, then you will be able to make the dish you want. If not, then there is no need to tell the story.

Is this...my test question?

Meilin, who had fully seen the question clearly and even understood it, looked towards the direction of the high platform. There, she saw the woman looking at her, containing expectations and feelings that Meilin didn't understand...

“…see…house…”

The memory fragments that have not appeared for a long time, those scenes that have been remembered but cannot be seen clearly because of the hazy moment, have jumped up from the depths of Meilin's memory, and some fragments of sound slowly emerged in front of him.

Who is calling me?

Ah, here is...where? Why is it so familiar?

Why, there is an indescribable pain!?

Sadness? Despair? Angry?

Who am I crying for?! Who is it? Wrinkled my heart!?

The next moment, the sad memories were hidden again, but the ordinary Merlin seemed to be unable to bear the memories that could make the angels fall.

However, even so, even if he only took a quick look, and even in less than a second, Merlin's face suddenly became very pale, his palms were covered with sweat, and his back was simply soaked in cold sweat.

“Hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…”

He grabbed his chest and kept gasping for a while. Although he felt uncomfortable, his eyes were filled with joy and satisfaction.

What I guessed... It was indeed correct!

The woman on the high platform really has something to do with herself in the past!

"Merlin, are you okay?"

Meilin's strangeness attracted the attention of Abei, who was also thinking about the test questions. When she came to Meilin, she stretched out her hand and prepared to support the other party.

But at this moment!

"I'll do it, Liu Bei candidate, your exam is not over yet."

Star, who was originally standing on the high platform, suddenly appeared on the other side of Meilin. She was supporting the other party, and she didn't even raise her head, but just suppressed her tone and said like this.

"...No! I am his fiancée, so let me do it."

Abbe, although she wants to be qualified as a super chef, she doesn't want to lose Merlin.

Seeing the woman who claimed to be the examiner suddenly appear, Abei's heart suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She always felt that the other party seemed to have some different emotions towards Merlin.

No! I won’t give it to you! Merlin, he is my lover!!!

The gentle girl disappeared, and replaced by the lioness with an angry face because of the invasion of the territory!

"Haha, it seems that you want to experience the majesty of the examiner."

When Xing heard Abei's answer, she sneered and was born with sarcasm. Although she was a descendant of her friend, as an elder, Taoxiang would not say anything, right?

...Well, she is definitely not taking personal revenge! She is not unhappy because of the intimate relationship between Abbe and Merlin!

"If the majesty of the examiner is reflected by corporal punishment of the candidates, then it would be better if Merlin and I don't take this exam!"

Although she was not as good as Merlin, Abbe's eloquence was also very good. She tied Merlin to her chariot together, so she was not ready to give Xing a chance to get along with Merlin.

And the star...

"Merlin can't leave!"

Domineering! It can even be said to be very domineering!

There was no reason, just such words, but Xing's eyes were telling Abe that she could not take Merlin away at all.

"you?!"

Abei wanted to get angry, but when he thought of the strength he had just shown, he could only glar at the other party.

Although it was a little inferior to being thrown out of the fighting arena because of beating the examiner, it would not be impossible if it was for his own love. It was just... In this way, the wish of the old woman in front of her was really fulfilled.

I can't hit you! But I can glar at you fiercely!

Abbe's idea is very good. If it were other women, they might really retreat because of Abbe's momentum.

Unfortunately, how could the star exist? How could Abena's momentum trained by the chef shake her will?

She was about to repay Abei, but at this moment, she was stopped by the black-haired woman who suddenly jumped off the platform.

"Hey hey! Xing, you're doing too much, it's interfering with the discipline of the exam room, but it's not supposed to." The black-haired woman grabbed Xing's right hand, and at the same time, she also looked at the other candidates, "So, you guys, there's not much time, and you're still watching the show, what are you thinking in your mind!"

After being criticized by the black-haired woman, the group of candidates around her suddenly woke up and rushed to their own rhythm.

Only...Abe alone.

"Merlin, are you okay?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity that Xing was blocked by the black-haired woman, Abe grabbed Meilin. Her eyes were full of seriousness, and there were emotions that Meilin could not understand.

"It's okay, I'm much better."

Merlin did not stop Abbe's actions. In private, Abbe did this behavior.

However, although Merlin doesn’t care, some people are very upset!

"Let that guy go away!!!!!!"

Girls in love, especially those who have been unrequited for thousands of years, their resentment is simply not something ordinary people can imagine.

I have been in love for a thousand years, isn’t it just this moment? Even if I lose all my integrity, I must not be able to keep my feet on my way!!!

Star, who was already stronger than the black-haired woman, swung his right arm lightly, then broke free from the black-haired woman's constraints, rushed forward and grabbed Meilin's other hand.

"You should let go!"

"Soul is fading, it's you!!!"
