"Who are you?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Ling Yuan, a titled Douluo, His Holiness the Pope has sent me to protect His Highness the Holy Son." Ling Yuan flicked off non-existent dust with her finger and smiled.
The women looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although this is a good thing, it puts alarm bells ringing for women.
Although Ling Yuan should be about the same age as Bibi Dong.
Since Bibi Dong is willing to do it, Ling Yuan might also take a liking to Xiao Ze.
This is not good.
Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment and decided to ignore it. After all, it was a Title Douluo, and her family would definitely not lose out.
It might even break Bibi Dong's heart.
Their destination was Longxing City of the Star Luo Empire.
This is the location of the Imperial Clan.
It will take the Spirit Hall at least three days to get to Dragon Rising City.
night.
Once everyone was outside the carriage, Huo Wu and the others immediately began to move.
Set the iron pot up properly.
Ling Yuan looked at this scene, somewhat bewildered: "Are you planning to cook?"
"Yes."
"There's no need for that, it's only a few days," Ling Yuan said.
"You do not understand."
"Heh, what don't I understand?" Ling Yuan said speechlessly.
"Don't eat it when we make it later," Meng Yiran, the head chef, said.
"Fine, don't eat it then. How good are your cooking skills anyway?" Ling Yuan said nonchalantly.
She thought the young lady was being a bit pretentious.
However, she soon regretted it.
Meng Yiran had just lifted the lid of the casserole when the thick, white broth was still bubbling away.
The honey-glazed ribs shimmered with an amber luster, the stir-fried crystal vegetables were so tender they seemed to burst with juice, and even the most ordinary mushroom soup rippled with moisture.
The air was filled with an intoxicating aroma.
Ling Yuan's throat bobbed uncontrollably.
A clear gurgling sound suddenly came from the abdomen beneath the leather jacket.
Startled, she abruptly closed her legs.
Her ears, partially hidden by her burgundy short hair, were slightly red as she pretended to gaze into the distance.
The crowd chuckled; this ability to be blinded by a leaf was indeed quite impressive.
"Mmm...it's so delicious! Your cooking skills are getting better and better, I feel like you're almost catching up with Xiao Ze." Ning Rongrong said indistinctly, her cheeks puffed out.
"No, it's alright," Meng Yiran said with a smile.
Xiao Ze noticed that Ling Yuan looked a bit like a thief. She kept glancing at them while they ate, but whenever she saw Xiao Ze looking over, she would immediately turn her head away.
"Come and eat."
"No!" Ling Yuan said with a touch of pride.
"Eat it or don't, it's up to you!" Ning Rongrong said.
"I'm just here to test for poison on your behalf!" Ling Yuan walked over.
The moment the rice grain touched his mouth, he froze, his eyes widening in shock.
The next second, this titled Douluo squatted down in front of the small table without any regard for his image, grabbed a honey-glazed rib with his left hand, scooped up some mushroom soup with his right hand, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Her wine-red hair was covered with grains of rice stuck to her cheeks.
She had never eaten such delicious food before and didn't care about her table manners at all.
"Eat slowly." Xiao Ze smiled and handed over a handkerchief. "No one's going to take it from you."
Ling Yuan gasped for breath from the heat but couldn't bear to spit it out, muttering indistinctly, "The cooks of the Spirit Hall should just be chopped up and fed to the dogs."
Ling Yuan took the handkerchief and wiped her cheeks. Although she blushed a little embarrassedly, she still pretended not to care.
Ning Rongrong burst out laughing.
Ling Yuan's ears were so red they looked like they could bleed.
After everyone finished eating.
Ling Yuan lay on the ground, rubbing her belly: "I'm so full."
"Don't you feel any changes in your body?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan sensed it for a moment, then her eyes widened even more, and she sprang to her feet.
"My soul power, my body, and many other parts have all improved, and even the age of my soul rings has increased!" Ling Yuan looked at Meng Yiran with disbelief.
Meng Yiran was a little scared by her intense gaze: "Don't look at me like that. It's not a problem with my cooking skills, but with Xiao Ze's ingredients."
The ingredients that Xiao Ze grows using his martial spirit all possess special effects.
Ling Yuan then looked at Xiao Ze with eyes that seemed to want to devour him whole.
Xiao Ze took a step back: "Don't look at me like that."
“No wonder His Majesty made you the Holy Son without consulting us. So that’s how it is.” Ling Yuan suddenly realized.
"Your talent is truly remarkable, and with such a special crop... your future is limitless," Ling Yuan remarked.
"It's alright."
"It's alright... Do you know how useful this is?! Even a Title Douluo like me finds it useful, which shows how valuable it is."
“However, you should still not let others know, otherwise you will be in danger. Although you are now the Holy Son, there are always places we cannot protect you,” Ling Yuan said.
"Don't worry, not many people know about it."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan's heart began to beat faster without her realizing it.
……
Four days later.
The group has arrived in Longxing City.
This place is less than two hundred miles from the border between the two great empires, making it a true border city.
Longxing City was originally the territory of a subordinate kingdom, but its trade was very prosperous and the city was very bustling.
People come and go in an endless stream.
After being questioned, the group entered Longxing City.
Putting everything else aside, the toll fees from Longxing City alone can generate a lot of money.
Each person is worth one gold soul coin, which is simply outrageous.
Chapter 283 The Imperial Clan, Niu Gao
Entering the city.
You can find out where the Imperial Clan's home is just by asking a few people.
Soon the group stopped outside a large mansion.
Above the gate tower is the character "御" (Yu).
Xiao Ze and the others got off the carriage and came to the gate.
"This is the Yu clan. Who are you?" Two guards stopped the group.
Xiao Ze tossed the papal decree over, saying, "Let your clan leader see this; he'll come to see me."
One of them clearly recognized the Papal Decree, his eyes widening as he looked at Xiao Ze in disbelief: "Papal Decree!"
Xiao Ze nodded slightly.
He immediately ran into the yard.
"Please come in." The other person didn't care about anything else and directly invited everyone into the courtyard.
The Papal Decree is not something that ordinary people can possess; even among the three upper sects, only a handful of people can have it.
……
"Chieftain, something terrible has happened!"
"What are you yelling about?" A tall, elderly man walked over slowly.
This person had short, graying hair, a ruddy complexion, and eyes the size of copper bells.
It's like a fortress.
Niu Gao scolded him somewhat displeasedly.
"Clan leader, a group of people have arrived outside. The leader has a papal decree." As he spoke, he handed the papal decree to Niu Gao.
When Niu Gao saw the gold border on the papal decree, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression turned slightly unpleasant.
"This is the Pope's decree from the Spirit Hall."
"How did you know, clan leader?"
“The Spirit Hall’s papal decree is different from those of other forces. Only the Spirit Hall possesses a papal decree with a gold border, and it is the Pope himself who holds it.” As he spoke, Niu Gao felt immense pressure.
It was a papal decree from the Pope himself; the person who came must be a close confidant of the Pope.
But it seems that the Yu clan hasn't done anything during this time, has it?
