"That girl Youqin, she's already prepared the food so quickly. 🐉💎 ❻➈𝕊ĦＵ᙭.¢𝔬ᗰ ♛👻"
Princess Yueling was somewhat surprised; Youqin's efficiency seemed quite high.
"Fellow Daoist Ning Shuai, Holy Son Tianbao, let's go in."
Princess Yueling said, pushing open the door of Yingyue Pavilion and walking in.
Zhu Yuanbao naturally followed eagerly; the aroma was definitely meat, already whetting his appetite!
Right now, he could eat a whole horse!
Ning Tian paused outside Yingyue Pavilion for a moment. Upon entering the forbidden area of the palace, he had been observing his surroundings, but there was no sign of the so-called Thunder Heart Fruit.
It seemed the Thunder Heart Fruit was still deeper inside.
After lingering for a while, he also followed.
In the main hall of Yingyue Pavilion.
Youqin was humming a little tune, placing bowl after bowl of food on the table.
On the table lay stewed horse meat with Heavenly Spirit Mushrooms, roasted horse legs, and more.
It was practically a full horse feast.
One could only imagine how horribly the Shadow Swift Wind Horse had died.
"Hmph~ Hmph~"
Just as Youqin was humming a little tune, the hall door was pushed open, and she instinctively looked over.
She saw Princess Yueling walking in.
Seeing this, Youqin's eyes lit up, and as she walked over, she asked, "Senior Sister, did you bring the distinguished guests you were supposed to entertain… uh…"
Suddenly, her words stopped abruptly.
Her astonished gaze was fixed on the two people behind Princess Yueling.
"Wh…why are they here?"
Youqin thought to herself
, a sense of foreboding washing over her. Instantly, she felt a pang of guilt.
Especially when those eyes inadvertently glanced at the full horse feast on the table, she broke out in a cold sweat and panicked even more.
It's over, it's over!
"If Senior Sister finds out I've done something bad, she'll spank my little bottom like before!"
Youqin's face immediately fell.
A faint, burning pain was already spreading across her little bottom.
"Hmm?"
"Youqin, what's wrong?"
Seeing Youqin's unusual behavior, Princess Yueling was puzzled.
"Uh..."
"Ahaha, I'm fine, I'm fine..."
Although she said she was fine, Youqin's distress was undisguised.
Seeing this, Princess Yueling shook her head; she couldn't fathom the thoughts of a young girl. Then
, she smiled at Ning Tian and the other person, "Fellow Daoist Ning Shuai, Holy Son Tianbao, this is my junior sister Youqin."
"Youqin, these are Fellow Daoist Ning Shuai and Holy Son Tianbao, both honored guests today."
Princess Yueling emphasized the word "honored guests. "
She knew that her junior sister was mischievous by nature and couldn't be allowed to cause trouble.
"Oh."
"I know."
Youqin playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Junior Sister?"
Ning Tian frowned slightly, asking with a hint of doubt, "Could it be that Princess Yue Ling has joined another sect?"
"Yes."
Princess Yue Ling nodded, not bothering to hide it, as it wasn't exactly a secret.
However, she didn't elaborate, and Ning Tian didn't ask.
"Fellow Daoist Ning Shuai, the reason I invited you to dinner is because of a traditional custom of our Supreme Divine Kingdom." Princess Yue Ling looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile.
"Oh? A custom?"
Ning Tian asked, puzzled.
"Yes, it's a custom."
Princess Yue Ling nodded. "In our Supreme Divine Kingdom, when someone has an important request, we hold a banquet. If the guest is willing to know a little about it, then please join us for dinner."
"If not, then please leave."
Saying this, Princess Yue Ling looked at Ning Tian somewhat nervously.
"Hehe." Ning Tian chuckled and walked towards the dining table. "Since we're here, how can we leave? Besides, the food smells so good; it would be a waste not to eat it."
Hearing this, Princess Yueling breathed a sigh of relief. Since Commander Ning was willing to eat this meal, then her important request shouldn't be a problem. The four sat down at the table. Ning Tian and Princess Yueling tacitly kept quiet. Whatever it was, they could discuss it after the meal. Zhu Yuanbao didn't stand on ceremony either, picking up his chopsticks and, like a starving ghost, grabbing a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth. "This…" The moment the meat entered his mouth, Zhu Yuanbao's eyes widened! His eyes seemed to gleam with golden light! "What kind of divine dish is this? It's so delicious!?" "I've been eating in Tianbao Holy Land for over twenty years, and I've never tasted anything this delicious!" "Pfft." Princess Yueling chuckled, looking at Youqin beside her, "It was made by my junior sister." Youqin immediately raised her head proudly.
"How is it? Is the Holy Son Tianbao satisfied with his meal?"
"Satisfied, satisfied."
How could Zhu Yuanbao not be satisfied with such delicious food?
He ate bowl after bowl of spirit rice.
"Oh my god! What is this? It's so delicious!" Zhu Yuanbao ate with great relish and couldn't help but ask, "Princess Yueling, what kind of meat is this?"
"I've eaten all kinds of delicacies, but I've never tasted anything like this."
"This?"
Princess Yueling paused, frowning as she fell into deep thought.
Beside her, seeing this, Youqin's hands were sweating profusely, and she quickly said, "This is the meat of a short-legged horse."
"A short-legged horse?"
Zhu Yuanbao paused, his expression gradually becoming dejected: "You shouldn't have mentioned horses, just like I shouldn't have lost my Shadow Chasing Wind Horse."
"Shadow Chasing Wind Horse?"
At this moment, Princess Yueling finally remembered, "This is made from Shadow Chasing Wind Horse."
"Huh!?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanbao was stunned.
"Holy crap!"
"No way!?"
"Hmm?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanbao's excited appearance, Princess Yueling was stunned for a moment, looking at Ning Tian with some doubt.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, what's wrong with Holy Son Tianbao?"
"This guy lost two Shadow Chasing Wind Horses in the Divine Continent City a few days ago. He's probably missing his horses now." Ning Tian explained slowly from the side.
"Lost two Shadow Chasing Wind Horses?"
Princess Yueling frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Youqin's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. Suddenly,
a thought struck her.
"Ouch."
"My stomach hurts so much. Senior sisters, you eat first, I'll go take care of it."
After saying that, Youqin turned to run away.
But at this moment, it was Youqin's guilty conscience that instantly made Princess Yueling think of something.
"Youqin!!!"
"You come here!"
A voice rang out from behind.
Youqin pouted, her little face bitter, and walked over with her head down.
"Tell me, is the Shadow Chasing Wind Horse in this pot the work of the Heavenly Treasure Saint?" Princess Yueling glared at Youqin and asked.
"Why are you being so fierce..."
Youqin muttered softly.
"Still not going to confess? I think you want to be confined in the Rainforest Secret Realm, don't you?"
A fierce glint flashed in Princess Yueling's eyes.
"Confined? No, no, no."
Hearing "confined," Youqin quickly shook her head. "I'll confess honestly, the Heavenly Treasure Saint's Shadow Chasing Wind Horse is... is right on the table."
