A fragrant bath had been prepared, allowing Bai Chen Feng And Lord Little Yan to wash away the dust accumulated from their travels.
After the demon and bird came out of the baths, top-tier demon food was placed in front of them.
The meat was from the juiciest part of the best grade spirit rabbit of the demons, it was filled with spirit energy and was well suited for demon consumption. Not only would there be no burden on the body, but it would also enhance the demon energy of the eater.
The water was from the spirit spring of the highest mountain peak within Lion Demon Territory. Only a keg was produced daily, and that itself was set aside exclusively for the Lion Demon Emperor’s use. This spring water was the holy water of demons and full of spirit energy; a small sip would be enough to elevate light injuries.
The fruits as well, they were peak grade specialities that were produced by demons and of. Under normal circumstances, Lion Demons would not eat fruits. However, many took into consideration that the new Lord Divine Bird might want to eat even if his Majesty prefers not to.
The table was filled to the brim, this could be considered the best treatment that could be obtained within the demon race.
This was also the first time Bai Chen Feng had received such treatment ever since he became a demon man and joined the demons. This made him think back to the times when he was still in Hanging Cloud Empire.
His eyes were in a daze for a moment before he quickly got back to his senses and nodded in satisfaction.
The palace manager felt his heart turn slightly at ease upon noticing his Majesty’s satisfaction
Bai Chen Feng placed Lord Little Yan on the table before taking up the chopsticks and asked: “What would Lord Little Yan like to eat?”
Throughout their journey, he has not picky about the food despite being a Demon Emperor as he had adopted Grain Avoidance*.
(Cuppa: A form of Daoist fasting technique used by ancient Chinese. It is related to multifaceted Chinese cultural beliefs)
Although he was mindful of Lord Little Yan, he was never able to find out what type of food suits her. That was why he had only fed her medicinal pills throughout the journey and he was feeling apologetic for the shabby treatment.
Now they have returned to the palace and have a table of delicacies prepared in front of them. It was only natural that he wanted Lord Little Yan to have the first pick.
Lord Little Yan pouted and looked at the table in disdain, “Look at that meat, it is so bloody and not appetizing at all. One look at that fish and you will know that it has died for a long time and is no longer fresh. As for the fruits, there are worm holes on them. That, that and that, those are too ugly, it is making me lose appetite…”
Her wings moved and pointed as she commented.
Bai Chen Feng’s warm and gentle bearing immediately turned cold as he put down the chopsticks and looked at the palace manager in displeasure. “All of you dared to use such defective food to deceive Lord Little Yan and this Emperor?”
The palace manager felt wronged: “Your Majesty, Lord Divine Bird, these are all carefully prepared by the kitchen. The spirit rabbit meat, spirit water, and fruits were all prepared this morning, they are absolutely not of low quality!”
“This emperor has said before, everything must be done to satisfy Lord Little Yan. Now that she is unsatisfied, what use is there to keep all of you?” Bai Chen Feng released a cold laugh.
The palace manager felt his legs turned soft as he kneeled on the ground, “Lord Divine Bird, can I ask what you like to eat? This lowly one will definitely find it for you!”
Lord Little Yan silently swept a gaze through the table and instantly felt no appetite. She lazily snuggled into Bai Chen Feng’s arms: “They are all cold and raw, I am not eating! This lord wants to eat cooked food that emits fragrance!”
The palace manager felt like dying. As demons, they have been eating their food raw and drinking cold water for millions of years, it was very rare for demons to like eating cooked food.
Even if there were, most do it for a moment of fun and curiosity.
Where could he find a chef for Lord Divine Bird?
Bai Chen Feng felt his heart jump. Lord Little Yan has been quietly eating the medicinal pills throughout their travels and had never mentioned eating cooked meat. Why did she bring it up now?
