"General Nalan, is this your gift?"
Emperor Longteng consoled Chu Beiqing a few words, his gaze again falling on the bizarre-looking creature.
"Indeed. My Sea King Hai Zhang specially selected this exquisite Spiritual Food, nad Tai Sui Clam; its taste is delicious and unimaginably precious. Consuming its at can prolong life. I sent it a thousand miles to Longteng in hopes of gifting it to Emperor Longteng. Alas, it appears that Longteng has no one who can appreciate it, how laughable and regrettable. I heard that your country’s Third Prince has punished several Imperial Chefs lately, yet none could recognize the Tai Sui Clam."
General Nalan’s face was full of mockery.
The veins on Emperor Longteng’s forehead subtly throbbed.
"Summon the people from the Imperial Kitchen."
Soon after, the eunuch ca hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty, all the people from the Imperial Kitchen have been locked up."
Emperor Longteng’s complexion worsened.
"What about Master Chen from De Yue Building and President Mu? I refuse to believe that there is truly no one in Longteng who can prepare this exquisite Spiritual Food."
President Mu and Master Chen were quickly summoned.
When they saw the monster, President Mu and Master Chen also looked helpless.
"Is it true that no one in Longteng can prepare the Tai Sui Clam!"
Emperor Longteng was furious.
His voice of questioning echoed endlessly on Qingque Platform.
"Father!"
At that mont, an anxious voice, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, quickly approached.
A small figure rushed in from outside like the wind.
"Xin Lin, how dare you! The national banquet is being held at Qingque Platform; you dare trespass! Be careful; I will have the Emperor deal with you for disrespect."
Following that was the angry reprimand of the Third Prince Long Qingchen.
Xin Lin and Long Qingchen appeared one after the other.
"Darling..."
As soon as Chu Beiqing, who had been trembling in fear, heard Xin Lin’s voice, his eyes shone brightly, and he jumped up, running towards Xin Lin.
"Father, are you alright?"
Xin Lin saw that her foolish father was safe and breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did she notice the strangeness inside Qingque Platform.
All the ministers along with the displeased Emperor and Empress of Longteng and the dumbfounded Third Prince Long Qingchen.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, Empress Feng."
Xin Lin glanced at the self-satisfied General Nalan, the kneeling President Mu, and Master Chen, vaguely understanding sothing.
Emperor Longteng waved his hand, feeling utterly powerless.
"Your Majesty, this commoner girl has co to apologize to the Emperor on behalf of my father. Father didn’t prepare any gift for Your Majesty’s birthday, but this commoner girl wishes to offer a gift to you, hoping the Emperor would kindly accept."
After thinking for a mont, Xin Lin suddenly spoke.
"Presumptuous! Can’t you see the Emperor is troubled and has no ti for your gift?"
Empress Feng berated.
"Empress."
Emperor Longteng waved his hand.
"Xin Lin, what gift do you have?"
"Your Majesty, Xin Lin has recently learned a new Spiritual Food, but has been lacking ingredients. Just at this banquet for Your Majesty’s birthday, there are suitable ingredients, so I boldly wish to borrow the ingredients from Your Majesty and present this gift."
Xin Lin said respectfully.
"Oh, which ingredient?"
Emperor Longteng was slightly startled.
Xin Lin wished to demonstrate her skills?
"Your Majesty?"
Empress Feng had a look of disbelief; at this mont, the Emperor was still engaging with Xin Lin, oblivious to General Nalan and those foreign guests’ mocking gazes?
"It is precisely it, the Emperor Toad."
After Xin Lin spoke, she pointed to not far from her at that oddly shaped Five-star Dark Spiritual Beast.
