What if after Xie Lian loses his bad luck shackle, after all the years he spent trying so desperately to be a good cook, he discovers that his cooking is actually really reaaallly fantastic. As if he had cultivated the skill all those years yet couldnt express it till now. Like to the point that it causes chaos in a new way. Food so excellent it ceases Feng Xin and Mu Qing's arguments, convinces Qi Rong to stop being a fucking cannibal, makes Shi Qingxuan ascend again, and lets Ling Wen relax for ONCE. Xie Lian sends the heavens in disarray once more via good soup 👍

Wanna know what absolutely had to have been a slap to the face to Mu Qing?
Not only did Xie Lian not recognize him when he re ascended and then proceed to pretend like it wasn’t awkward (and therefore didn’t matter).
But what had to be a million times worse??
Xie Lian recognized Feng Xin instantly.

Me reading that tag:
*slaps the roof* Fengqing can fit so much pining, obliviousness and angry fluff. And the smut too. And the violent flirting. Man, I am so into it.

There's sometimes a misconception that Feng Xin is totally subservient to Xie Lian or afraid to say no to XL but FX often scolds/nags XL and has on multiple occasions told him to do or not do something.
FX has his own convictions and mind of his own too. He trusts XL's judgment on major decisions, following XL's call for serious matters, but imo it's not subservience, but rather loyalty borne out of a firm belief and conviction in XL's moral compass. FX's loyalty is bc of FX's own righteous principles and own moral code too.
In bk 4 FX argued with XL and questioned XL's decisions, and was even openly angry at XL, like when XL almost killed a commoner just for disrespecting XL and called the commoner a derogatory term. FX was angry at XL and yelled at XL for that bc FX has his own strong moral code that includes not harming innocents or doing unscrupulous things. He's not just blindly loyal. He has his own convictions too.
And he's certainly not a people pleaser or someone who follows rules to the letter. It's considered rude and unbecoming for heavenly officials to be too vulgar in the heavenly court, yet FX cusses openly all the time without a care. Would a people pleaser who was scared of breaking the smallest rule do that? FX is simply not someone who is afraid of saying no.

I was wondering how Feng Xin knew Xie Lian's cooking was so bad when that started after they parted, but then I remembered him leaving the offerings at Feng Xin, and Mu Qing's first temples. So I came up with the idea that this was a yearly tradition for Xie Lian, either on their birthdays, the anniversary of their ascensions(or both! he could do it twice a year.) he would go to the nearest Nan Yang, and Xuan Zhen temple and leave them a meal he made.
Feng Xin of course would always try to catch him, but due to a combination of Xie Lian's bad luck, and not knowing which temple he was going to show up at Feng Xin always missed him.
Feng Xin, and Mu Qing always suffer through eating the food. Partly because they miss Xie Lian so much, and partly because they don't want to take the chance of some other poor being, or creature eating it.
