n“Thank you, Consort!” Baili Zhou immediately nodded.
nIn his eyes, a man who could become the Consort must have something special about him.
nSince the Consort was going to do it himself, he might as well observe from the side.
nPerhaps he would receive great inspiration.
nWith the same thought in mind, the hundreds of people in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and gathered around Lin Xuan.
nEveryone looked at Lin Xuan expectantly and waited for his next move.
nLin Xuan ignored the onlookers.
nWith the system’s tutorial, he was extremely familiar with the combination of delicacies.
nAfter asking about the taste and effects of the various ingredients in the kitchen, he personally cooked.
nWith his grandmaster-level culinary skills, he was very familiar with the various kitchen utensils.
nNot only was it easy to use, but it was also very fast.
nIn just half an incense stick of time, he had prepared more than ten plates of new ingredients.
nBaili Zhou and the other chefs looked at the ingredients on the plate in shock.
nThey had never heard of such combinations before.
nBaili Zhou hurriedly asked, “Consort, can you tell me what are the names of these dishes you made?”
nLin Xuan said with a smile, “These are Red Bean Taro Porridge, Salted Thunder Egg Soup, Teriyaki Squid, BBQ Polar Bear Palm…”
nJust as he finished speaking, a commotion sounded in the kitchen.
n“Amazing! So it can be matched like this!”
n“The empress’ husband has really broadened my horizons!”
n“Impressive! Impressive!”
nBaili Zhou hurriedly took out a blue flame and lit the furnace. He said eagerly, “Consort, please!”
nLin Xuan nodded and started the first dish, BBQ Polar Bear Palm.
nPfft!
nThe dishes had just been served when a rich aroma filled the entire kitchen.
nBaili Zhou and the others revealed looks of admiration. This smell was rich, but not sickening. This was the first time they had smelled it.
n“The empress’ husband is so impressive. Perhaps after he enlightened me today, my cultivation can improve again!”
nBaili Zhou’s eyes lit up.
nHe had cultivated as a chef for three thousand years, but he had reached a bottleneck five hundred years ago and had not made any further breakthrough.
nBut today, he had a strong premonition that he had hope of taking another step.
n…
nIn the Mystic Ice Palace’s Main Hall.
nDonghuang Ziyou sat upright on the Ice Phoenix Divine Throne while looking down at her highness’s group of ministers.
nThese people were all rulers of the kingdoms of the North Mystic Heaven.
nHowever, in front of Donghuang Ziyou, they were merely subjects.
nThe Min Kingdom’s monarch, Song Yan, went forward and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, recently, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom of the Heavenly Demon Realm has been restless and has been causing constant turmoil on our borders.”
n“Your Majesty, please issue a decree to send troops to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and show the might of North Mystic Heaven!”
nDu Yunlong, the Divine General who was affiliated with the Mystic Ice Palace, stepped forward and cupped his fists. “Your Majesty, I’m willing to lead troops there!”
nDonghuang Ziyou said, “For this trip, I will send my troops to personally conquer the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.”
nThe crown prince and the other ministers were all shocked.
nSong Yan hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is only a small country in the Heavenly Demon Realm. It is simply not worth it for you to personally go to war.”
nDonghuang Ziyou waved her hand. “It’s decided.”
nHer intelligence network was spread across the entire North Mystic Heaven, and even the Heavenly Demon Realm.
nThe news she received was naturally more accurate than Song Yan’s.
nAccording to her understanding, the reason why the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom dared to invade North Mystic Heaven was because they had obtained a powerful backer.
nThe old demon who suddenly disappeared ten thousand years ago from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord, had appeared!
nAs for Bloodthirsty Demon Lord’s strength, it was also at the Emperor Realm.
nIf Du Yunlong and the others were allowed to go, they would probably be digging their own graves.
nOnly if she went out personally could she guarantee victory in this battle.
nIn addition, everything beyond the Nine Heavens belonged to the Heavenly Demon Realm.
nDonghuang Ziyou felt that in the Heavenly Demon Realm, there was probably more countries than merely the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, who wanted to cause trouble in North Mystic Heaven.
nAs the master of the North Mystic Heaven, if she did not give the Heavenly Demon Realm a head-on show of strength, even more Demon Kingdoms would come to stir up trouble.
nMost importantly, she had just succeeded the North Mystic Heaven’s throne four years ago.
nMany of Her Highness’s ministers secretly did not have faith in her.
nShe wanted to make use of this battle with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to shut everyone who questioned her up.
nIn the end, this battle could not be lost!
n…
nIn the back kitchen of the Crystal Palace.
n“The empress’ husband is indeed impressive!”
n“Watching the empress’ husband cook is more effective than studying for ten years!”
n“The empress’ husband has really broadened our horizons!”
nExclamations from Baili Zhou and the others sounded.
nToday, they finally understood what real children’s delicacies were.
nThe dishes cooked by Lin Xuan were not only lustrous, but also fragrant.
nIt was diverse and tasteful.
nBaili Zhou took a few bites and knew that these dishes would definitely satisfy the children.
nLin Xuan said, “There are only two words for a child’s diet: reasonable nutrition, suitable taste, and varied taste.”
nBaili Zhou and the others immediately remembered the mantra.
nAfter savoring the taste repeatedly, they found it even more delicious.
n“Thank you for your guidance, Consort!” Baili Zhou bowed respectfully.
nJust those words made him feel like he had been enlightened.
nHe was certain that the bottleneck that had plagued him for five hundred years was about to be broken.
nLin Xuan said, “Remember the methods to make these dishes. I’ll teach you more methods to make them when I’m free.”
nHe would have to take care of the four children in the future and would not have so much time to personally cook.
nLetting Baili Zhou be his apprentice would save him a lot of trouble.
nWith Baili Zhou’s aptitude, he basically understood it immediately. There was no need to worry about the taste.
n“Yes!” Baili Zhou was extremely excited.
nHe had benefited greatly from just observing how to cook these ten or so dishes.
nIf he could learn more methods from the empress’ husband, he would really be lucky.
nLin Xuan then got someone to bring these dishes to the dining room.
nBefore he entered the room, the four hungry kids in the room cried out in surprise.
n“Wow, it smells so good!”
n“I feel like eating!”
n“Daddy is so awesome!”
n“Father must have cooked this!”
nThe four little girls looked at the door.
nTheir eyes were shining.
nWhen they saw that it was really Lin Xuan who brought the dishes in, the little girls were extremely happy.
nXuan You jumped down from the chair and raised her hands high. “Daddy, I want to eat!”
nLin Xuan carried her up and placed her back on the chair. He took a pill made from a Purple Shadow Snow Auger and placed it in her bowl. “Don’t worry, everyone has a share.”
n“Oh!” Xuan You lowered her head to look at the meatballs in the bowl. Her little nose twitched, and she felt that they smelled good.
nAt this moment, the Heavenly Dog Beast arrived at Xuan You’s feet and raised its head with an expectant gaze, like it also wanted to eat the Purple Shadow Snow Auger.
nXuan You kicked it away. “You can’t eat what Daddy makes!”
nWith that, the little girl stuffed the Purple Shadow Snow Auger into her mouth.
n“Mmm!”
nThe little girl’s eyes suddenly lit up with an intoxicated expression.
n“It looks so delicious!”
nXuan Zhu and the other two quickly picked up a meatball and put it in their mouths when they saw Xuan You enjoying it.
nAll of a sudden, the entire dining room was filled with the cheerful cries of children.
nAt this moment.
nThe mechanical voice of the system in Lin Xuan’s mind suddenly sounded.
nDing!
