The Picky Little Girl

There are a total of nine Old Ancestors in Medicine King Valley, all of whom are Grand Unity Realm powerhouses. Three of them were previously dispatched to assist Yao Wuchen in taking over the Imperial City.

Currently, six Old Ancestors remain in Medicine King Valley. After Yao Tianxing relayed Yao Wuchen's message to these Old Ancestors, he decided to send five more.

Only one Old Ancestor was left to guard the sect, as no sect within the Xiling Empire would dare to cause trouble at Medicine King Valley.

The five Medicine King Valley Old Ancestors, along with a thousand disciples, rushed towards the Xiling Empire's Imperial City overnight. The lowest cultivation level among these thousand disciples was the Ninth Level of Spirit Sea.

There were also over a hundred elders at the Imperial Realm, making them far stronger than the Heavenly Wolf Sect previously was. However, this was essentially the entirety of Medicine King Valley's strength.

It wasn't until the next morning that the Old Ancestors and disciples of Medicine King Valley arrived at the Imperial City. After meeting with Yao Wuchen, they realized the gravity of the situation.

"Old Ancestors, do you have any way to forcibly enslave Zhao Wuji and the others?"

Yao Wuchen asked the sect's strongest Old Ancestor with a glimmer of hope. If possible, Yao Wuchen still preferred the safety of enslaving Zhao Wuji.

"No, if a powerful individual is enslaved, they will only become a madman, which is of no use to us."

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Given Medicine King Valley's reputation, even if those two invite powerful experts, they should still give Medicine King Valley some face."

"At worst, we'll just have to suffer some losses in terms of benefits."

"Alright then!"

Hearing his Old Ancestor's words, Yao Wuchen felt a little more at ease. After leaving the prison yesterday, he had dispatched three teams of Medicine Attendants, hoping to capture those two.

In a high-class double room at Tongfu Inn in Lianyang City, a little girl climbed out of bed.

"Ling'er, you're awake! I've already prepared the water for you. Why don't you wash up first, and then we can go down for breakfast?"

The little girl had slept soundly last night, but Zhao Shanshan and her sister couldn't sleep. They weren't even in the mood to meditate and cultivate.

The two of them had woken up early, but since the little girl was still asleep, they didn't dare to disturb her and stayed by her side.

"Mhm!"

The little girl didn't think much of it. She went to wash up and then left the room with the Zhao sisters.

"Waiter, you can bring out what we ordered."

Once the three of them and the dog were seated, Zhao Shanshan instructed the waiter to bring breakfast, which she had already ordered.

"Certainly, esteemed guest, please wait a moment. We'll bring it right up."

Although the waiter found it strange that a dog could sit at the table, he didn't fuss about it because Zhao Shanshan had given him plenty of silver taels.

At worst, he could just throw away the bowls and chopsticks after they finished eating; it wouldn't make any difference.

In just a short while, the waiter brought out plate after plate of breakfast. Since Zhao Shanshan didn't know what Mu Qingling liked to eat, she had ordered one of everything from the inn's signature dishes.

"Wow!"

"Are all these for us? So much meat!"

The little girl had never eaten food from outside, nor had she seen so many dishes. They looked delicious.

"Ling'er, I ordered all of this. I wasn't sure what your taste preferences were, so I ordered a bit extra. Try it and see how it tastes."

"Mhm, big sister, you're so kind. This is the first time Ling'er has seen so many dishes!"

The little girl was overjoyed to hear that it was all for her. She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth.

"Yuck, what kind of meat is this? It's so hard to eat."

As soon as the little girl took a bite, she spat it out because the meat wasn't as delicious as the meat she usually ate, and she couldn't even chew it.

"No way!"

Seeing the little girl spit out the meat, Zhao Yingying said with some doubt. They had ordered the inn's signature dishes; even if they weren't delicious, they shouldn't be this bad.

Zhao Yingying found it hard to believe and picked up a piece of meat to taste. While it wasn't as good as the food prepared by the royal chefs, it was still edible.

"Ling'er, why don't you try the other dishes?"

Zhao Yingying thought that the little girl just didn't like this particular meat, which was why she found it so unpalatable. She then asked Mu Qingling to try the other dishes.

Fortunately, they had been wise enough to order all the signature dishes beforehand, otherwise, they would have been embarrassed.

The little girl's face was full of displeasure. Hearing Zhao Yingying's words, she picked up another plate of meat. This time, it seemed the little girl was on guard and didn't put the whole piece of meat in her mouth.

She just brought it close to her lips and took a small taste. The result was the same as before; this meat was not tasty at all. The little girl once again threw the meat onto the table.

Then, before the Zhao sisters could say anything else, the little girl tried several other plates of meat, but the result was the same – not a single one suited her taste.

The other guests in the inn naturally paid attention to this peculiar table setting of three people and a dog. Seeing a little girl wasting such good food, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Even the waiter, who was watching from behind, would have been unable to stand it if not for Little Black's fierce gaze and the substantial amount of silver taels he had received.

"Big sister, the meat here is so unpleasant to eat. Ling'er wants milk."

After trying all the meat dishes, none of them suited the little girl's palate. She said pitifully to Zhao Shanshan.

"This..."

Zhao Shanshan and Zhao Yingying were at a loss for words. They hadn't expected the little girl to be so picky, and that there wasn't a single dish she liked here.

Moreover, the little girl wanted milk. They weren't her mother; where would they find milk for her?

With no other options, Zhao Shanshan looked at Little Black, who was busily devouring meat, hoping it could offer them some advice.

"Little Master has a baby bottle and milk powder. You can help Little Master prepare a bottle. However, ordinary boiled water won't do; you'll need to boil water for Little Master yourself."

In fact, Little Black had known for a while that the little girl wasn't used to this kind of food. It was all ordinary stuff, completely devoid of Spiritual Energy, which was why the little girl naturally disliked it.

Thanks to Mu Feiyang, the little girl had been eating food containing Spiritual Energy since she was young. Even a drop of water or a stalk of vegetables would contain potent Spiritual Energy.

"Ling'er, shall I prepare some milk for you?"

"Mm!"

Upon hearing Zhao Shanshan's offer to help prepare milk, the little girl immediately beamed. She took out a baby bottle, milk powder, and a small kettle from her Storage Ring.

"Yingying, go and borrow a stove from the waiter."

Looking at the items the little girl had produced, Zhao Shanshan instructed Zhao Yingying to borrow a stove so they could boil water and prepare the milk powder for the little girl.
