My divine beast is a foodie.

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Interstellar Square Dancing



The starship lurched like a drum washing machine in the jump channel. Lin Fan held onto the dessert cooler and watched the panda ray "Tang Yuan" perform a space breakdance in weightlessness - every time the little guy's tentacles slapped the bulkhead, a holographic projection of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Wind" would erupt.

"Warning! Gravity simulation system malfunction!" The mechanical tone added to the chaos. The Taotie's tail was curled around the chandelier and was sucking up messy macaroons in a black hole vortex, "Mortal, this seat suggests you learn to gracefully... Vomit!"

A strawberry cake was battered on the porthole. Lin Xiaomeng's star fox cub "Snail Fan" suddenly exploded, its star-colored fur standing up in the shape of a hedgehog. When it let out a warning call, the starship rushed out of the jump channel - under the sky's aurora borealis, a kilometer-high cake castle stood on the surface of the icy planet, and the frosting turret was spraying rainbow macaroons.

"The coordinates are correct." The white-clothed girl's shadow flickered and wavered, the broken star pin pointing to the chocolate bell tower at the top of the castle, "The civilization legacy of the Star Sea Watcher... It's actually a dessert workshop?"

Ice Castle Hall

The sudden drop in temperature made Lin Fan sneeze. Ice cream chandeliers dangled from the dome encrusted with sugar beads, and suspicious paw prints were imprinted on the cookie floor tiles. Sourdough suddenly broke free from the embrace, its tentacles tracing excited trajectories through the air as it rushed straight towards the flipping candy piano in the center of the hall.

"Don't touch it..." Su Yuqing's warning was interrupted by the piano automatically playing "Over the Moon". Seven-colored sugar frosting gushed out from the keys of the piano, condensing in mid-air into a holographic projection of square dance instruction. Even weirder, the gingerbread man guards on both sides of the hall suddenly came to life, holding chocolate spears and starting to dance in a rice dance.

"Cognitive filter residual effects." The girl in white scanned the icing data stream, "These confections are infused with the Star Sea Watcher's pleasure factor..."

Before the words left her mouth, the castle suddenly trembled. The ceiling cracked open in giant donut-shaped gaps, and furry creatures poured down like an avalanche - shaped like a combination of ferrets and marshmallows, each topped with a different flavor of ice cream sundae.

"Sweet Frost Ferrets!" The white girl's star pin lit up with an alarming red light, "Quickly turn on your flavor protection..."

It was already too late. Lin Xiaomeng took a bite of the strawberry puff that floated to the edge of her mouth, and her pupils instantly turned heart-shaped, "This is too delicious!" She rushed into the sable group with the snail powder in her arms, and the star fox cub's tail exploded into the shape of a firework, weaving the accompanying score line of "Little Apple" with starlight.

Taotie smashed the incoming tiramisu missile with a claw, "Mortals! Pipe down these lunatics!"

Lin Fan was just about to act when Tangyuan's tentacles suddenly wrapped around his wrist. Panda Stingray's predictive images unfolded before his eyes: Chen Tianming was wearing a rabbit ear hair band to lead the dance, Su Yuqing's Pho Pho had evolved into an electronic dance music form, and he himself... Was waltzing with a mechanical penguin.

"Entertainment mode prediction accuracy 99%." A face text bubble popped up above Tang Yuan's head, "(≧∇≦)ノ彡"

As if to corroborate this sentence, a familiar melody came from the depths of the castle. The crowd followed the sound and almost dropped their jaws - three hundred mechanical penguins arranged in a standard square formation, their metal wings swinging to the rhythm of "Drunken Butterfly", and the one leading the dance was none other than Nebula Tuanzi holding the honey pot.

"Civilization recovery protocol detected." The girl in white smiled bitterly as she held her forehead, "The Star Sea Watchers have set their last line of defense as a square dance competition."

Chocolate Command Tower

Lin Fan stared at the frosting star map on the console, the corners of his mouth twitching, "Unlocking the legacy requires... Square dance points?"

The holographic screen flashed with a pink prompt, [Please fill the crystal candy jar with happy energy! Current progress: 15%]

An interstellar spectacle was being staged outside the castle: Chen Tianming was forced to lead a dance to "Coyote Disco" in a Swan Lake dress, Su Yuzheng's Pho Pho had evolved a DJ beatboxing function, and Lin Xiaomeng's Spirofan's Phoenix Legend performance outfit woven with starlight was cosmic-level mental pollution.

"This seat refuses to participate in such foolishness..." Taotie's protest was gagged by the lava cake shoved into his mouth. As the Black Forest Cake grazed its ears and flew by, it finally stormed out, "All of you dance seriously!"

The fifth sealing chain snapped in response. Taotie's devouring vortex enveloped the entire dance floor, and all the chaotic energy was distilled into a golden happy factor. The progress bar of the Crystal Sugar Jar instantly skyrocketed to 90%, and the roar of gears turning came from the depths of the castle.

"Last dance!" The white girl's silhouette transformed into a starlight dress, "Go for the one that resonates the most..."

The prelude to "The Most Dazzling National Wind" was stone cold. Lin Fan was flung into the C position by Tang Yuan with his tentacles, and each tentacle of the panda ray projected a square dance classic from a different era. As the mechanical penguin square danced the Thousand Hands of Goddess of Mercy, the Ice Castle suddenly glowed as a whole - those frosting decorations faded from their disguise, revealing ancient runes with starbursts flowing underneath.

Legacy Core Room

In the center of the spinning nebula macaroon hovers the ultimate legacy of the Star Sea Watcher: a dimensional player connected to a universe-wide square dance stereo. The white girl stroked the teeth marks on the edge of the console, "A message left by the First Watchers..." She pressed the play button, and Chopin's Nocturne suddenly switched to The Color of the Lotus Pond.

In the holographic projection, the Primordial Watcher was actually a panda ray dancing a ghostly step, "O later ones, when darkness shrouds the sea of stars, remember to blast the cognitive cage with joy!" It waved its tentacles to call up a star map, "These coordinates hide the fight against starfall..."

The message was suddenly hijacked by the cake. The projection of the Starfall Priest oozed out of the black forest cake, the chains in its hands turning into a chocolate fountain, "Folly! Can the truths of the universe be used in child's play..."

"You're the one who doesn't understand!" Lin Xiaomeng suddenly barged in holding a snail powder. The Star Fox Cub spewed out Galaxy Frosting, which actually dyed the Starfall Projection pink, "Behold my Upanishad-Sweet Supernova!"

In the BGM of "Good Luck", Taotie's devouring vortex and Happy Factor merged into a golden storm. As the starfall projection melts unwillingly into the creamy ocean, the Dimension Player shoots out twelve rays of starlight, illuminating new coordinates in the universe-each marker point corresponding to a square dance mecca on a particular planet.

"Next stop!" Lin Fan lifted up the soup dumplings, and the tentacles of the panda ray projected the spectacle of the Martian rice-planting song, "Going to deliver happiness to the entire universe!"

As the starship set sail, the ice castle began to collapse into a lollipop-shaped leap engine. The silhouette of the white girl gazed at the fading planet and softly hummed the absurdly catchy "A Night to Remember". Behind her, the teeth marks of the Primordial Watcher were glowing faintly.
