"Enjoy."
Yuan Gui placed the last dish on the table.
Unlike Yao Ziyue and the others, who had fetched their own food, Luo Chuan's table had been served personally by Yuan Gui.
This showed just how much he valued the two of them.
He turned and left, heading into the kitchen to tidy up.
Luo Chuan noticed that Yao Ziyan was holding her Magic Phone, constantly adjusting its angle toward the table.
"What are you doing?" Luo Chuan asked.
"Taking pictures." Yao Ziyan replied. "Boss, move a little more toward the middle. I can't get everything in the shot like this."
Luo Chuan: ...
The brief interruption soon passed.
Next came the time to eat.
Since it was Yuan Gui's invitation, he had decided on every dish himself.
There were four dishes and one soup in all.
Luo Chuan did not know their names, but they all looked delicious, no less impressive than Yao Ziyan's usual cooking.
Filled with anticipation, Luo Chuan chose a dish that appeared to be roasted meat.
He placed it in his mouth and chewed lightly.
An icy chill instantly filled his entire mouth, making Luo Chuan's eyes widen slightly.
It felt as though he stood upon the boundless Northern Region Ice Plains, where biting winds and ultimate purity were perfectly embodied in that moment.
A faint smoky flavor followed, without the slightest abruptness. Everything came as naturally as flowing clouds and running water...
A soft gasp also escaped Yao Ziyan's lips. "Is this a Nine Treasures Rabbit from the Northern Region Ice Plains?"
"That's right." Yuan Gui emerged from the kitchen. "A special roasting method sealed the aura of the ice plains within the meat. The wood used for grilling was Soul Nurturing Wood from the Southern Borderlands."
"The two distinct flavors blended together perfectly.
