Tiandou City, the imperial capital of the Tiandou Empire, and the center of the empire's power.

In this bustling capital, there stands a building that represents elegance and luxury—Moon Pavilion!

Inside a luxurious and elegant private room facing the street.

The musician's melodious tunes flowed like a gentle stream, each note soothing the soul.

On the dining table in the center of the private room, a variety of delicious dishes were laid out, making one's mouth water.

A songstress sang softly on one side, while a dancer, her robes fluttering, danced gracefully.

At the dining table, the young man leisurely picked up a piece of the seven-colored spirit deer meat and put it in his mouth.

It's bursting with meaty flavor, tender and juicy.

He let out a long, comfortable sigh, and with swift movements, picked up another piece of green vegetable.

The short-haired girl sitting next to the young man looked at him curiously.

"Master Ye, don't you get tired of eating like this every day?"

Ye Mu raised his head, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and distant memories flooded back like a tide.

"Hmm... People need food to survive, you'll get hungry if you skip a meal."

Did you eat yesterday?

"Yes, I ate it."

Xue Ke answered in a daze.

"Have you eaten today?"

"You ate it too."

"That's right, you eat it every day, and I eat it every day too, don't laugh at someone who's just as bad."

"Life is a long journey, and the only thing we should not miss is good food."

"Master Ye~"

Xue Ke blushed and scolded him, "He's mocking me again!"

Ye Mu laughed heartily a few times and then leisurely resumed eating.

Over the long and distant years.

He no longer remembers how long he has lived.

All he knew was that he had witnessed the rise, prosperity, and decline of civilizations.

I have witnessed the sea overturn and swallow the earth.

I have also witnessed the ocean receding and the land rising.

He has done one thing after another.

He has enlightened spirit beasts, raised pets, and given guidance to humans...

There are so many that I can't even remember them all.

But there was only one thing he consistently persisted in.

Food!

What you eat is the only real thing!

Xue Ke was someone he met when he came to Tiandou City a few years ago.

By sheer chance, he saved her life.

From then on, he became what she called Master Ye.

To Xue Ke, Master Ye was a very mysterious figure.

Without any visible soul power, he can effortlessly accomplish many incredible things.

Even the Heavenly Dou royal family secretly investigated.

But there's absolutely nothing about Ye Mu.

He was like a fog, impossible to fathom.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Mu also stayed at Yuexuan for five years.

They arrive on time every day, and every day there's a big table of delicious food.

After a satisfying meal, I went home and took a long nap.

Or

Come again the next day.

Nothing in the outside world seems to be able to stop his passion for food.

Even in strong winds or blizzards, you can always find him in this private room.

To outsiders, Ye Mu was just a gigolo being kept by Princess Xue Ke.

I've been living off others for five years now!

Of course, you could also say it's envy.

To be kept by the princess of the Heavenly Dou Empire is such an honor.

Only a very few people knew that Ye Mu arrived at Yuexuan on his first day.

After tasting the food here, I immediately bought out the entire private room.

The gold soul coins that were taken out shocked even the Pavilion Master Tang Yuehua.

"Mr. Ye, did you enjoy today's dishes?"

Just as I was reminiscing, a soft voice came from outside the private room.

Then a woman walked in.

At the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, his eyes seemed to have seen through everything in the world.

The silver palace-style long dress fit her perfectly, exuding a noble and elegant air.

The mistress of Yuexuan—Tang Yuehua!

Ye Mu only glanced at it before focusing on the dishes in front of him.

"The taste is good. We've added two new dishes, and they taste great."

Tang Yuehua walked over and stood to the side.

"teacher."

Xue Ke greeted Tang Yuehua upon seeing her, her attitude quite affectionate.

"Xueke, have you finished today's lessons?"

Tang Yuehua had a faint smile on her lips, yet she exuded an air of authority without being angry.

Xue Ke stuck out her tongue and muttered, "Master Ye is eating. I was just thinking of keeping him company first."

"accompany?"

"Ahem~ Should we say 'take care, take care,' or should Teacher accompany Teacher Ye?"

Upon hearing this, a faint blush rose on Tang Yuehua's fair and jade-like face.

But it disappeared quickly.

"He's spouting nonsense, disrespecting his teachers and elders, and deserves a beating."

"Hehe~ I'm asking for it, I won't do it again, I won't do it again."

They didn't seem afraid at all.

With Master Ye here, what does she have to worry about?

Sure enough, Ye Mu said the next second, "Don't argue with a child."

Xueke hid behind him with a grin.

As expected, with Teacher Ye around, the teacher stopped scolding her.

She knew all too well what her teacher was thinking.

She's not blind these past five years!

Unfortunately, the teacher was too naive in this regard.

There were absolutely no means at all.

They don't even dare to take the first step!

Moreover, Teacher Ye seemed quite oblivious, completely failing to guess the teacher's thoughts.

"Yes, Mr. Ye."

Tang Yuehua said in a low voice, her attitude extremely respectful.

She always felt a sense of curiosity towards this regular customer.

A very mysterious young man.

In the past five years, time has left no trace on him.

They seem to be forever twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

And herself.

Five years have passed, and time has inevitably left its mark.

In a few years, I'm afraid I'll look too old in front of her.

She doesn't have much time left!

"Mr. Ye, I've heard that there's a very special soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"It is called the scaleless crystal fish. It is completely transparent, with tender and boneless flesh, and is extremely delicious."

"But they inhabit the depths of the Starry Sky Forest. Should we post a bounty for them?"

She knew Ye Mu's passion for food.

They also knew that Ye Mu was very picky.

Ordinary dishes were simply not to his liking.

It is precisely because of Ye Mu's discerning eye that Yuexuan's dishes have been able to continuously innovate.

There is also a dedicated team of chefs who research new dishes every day.

Anything that can gain Ye Mu's approval will definitely become a hit.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mu's eyes lit up.

Scaleless crystal fish?

Why haven't I heard of this kind of soul beast before?

That's something worth a try.

"Alright, you can post the bounty for me. Ten thousand gold soul coins for each bounty!"

"Ten thousand gold soul coins? That's...that's way too expensive!"

Tang Yuehua was secretly alarmed.

One fish costs 10,000 gold soul coins?

That's such a waste!

This guy really treats money like dirt when it comes to food.

"As long as it's worth the price."

He has been offering rewards for finding ingredients for his dishes for years.

He even once spent 10,000 gold soul coins to buy a type of rice that had been cultivated in a special way.

One jin (500g) is worth 10,000 gold soul coins!

Money is not important to him.

As an undead race, through endless years.

He amassed a vast fortune.

The various mineral veins buried underground are all his wealth.

Gold Soul Coins?

Those are little gadgets that can be made easily.

Tang Yuehua agreed.

Just as he was about to get up and find someone to post the bounty.

Suddenly!

High in the sky, the wind rises and the clouds surge, causing the heavens to tremble.

A golden canopy stretched across the sky.

A sacred and majestic voice resounded throughout the entire Douluo world.

[Quiz on the Sky - Rewards for Correct Answers!]

That majestic and sacred voice caused the entire Douluo Continent to boil with excitement.
