Although Xue Qinghe had been forcibly fed a mouthful of food by Raiden Shogun yesterday, after waking up, his informants still reported the major events that had recently taken place.

The news of Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu shining brilliantly at the spirit fighting arena had already spread throughout Heaven Dou City.

People like them were exactly the kind Xue Qinghe was doing his utmost to win over.

What a pity that Raiden Shogun was actually connected to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Those two girls were probably...

As Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu listened to Xue Qinghe's praise, they immediately felt rather strange.

The two of them said nothing more and followed the others into the imperial palace.

Along the way, many people intentionally or unintentionally cast their gazes upon Starry Sky.

That was because Starry Sky had been holding Underworld's hand the entire time. They did not look like siblings at all, but more like a couple in love.

An old cow eating tender grass!

After all, everyone believed Raiden Shogun was a Titled Douluo.

Even the youngest Titled Douluo had to be in their thirties or forties, right?

What else could this be if not an old cow eating tender grass?

But who would dare say it aloud?

If they angered the great chef and she refused to cook for them, then no matter how much they cried and made a fuss, they could forget about getting any benefits from her.

"Little brother... I think you look rather familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Xue Qinghe asked, trying to strike up a connection.

Starry Sky could say for certain that this was his first time meeting Xue Qinghe.

He scratched his head and asked in confusion,

"Really? Maybe I'm just too handsome. You must have seen me before, so I left a deep impression on you."

At that, the people around them could not help rolling their eyes inwardly.

Starry Sky was indeed handsome, but who called himself handsome?

What was that if not narcissism?

Still, seeing Starry Sky's relationship with Underworld, no one dared to make a needless comment.

Xue Qinghe was choked up for a moment as well, then smiled lightly.

"Haha! Little brother's appearance really is hard to forget after seeing it once."

Hearing that, Starry Sky put on a helpless expression and sighed.

"Sigh... I can't help it if being handsome makes people think about me all the time."

"Pfft~~" Xiao Wu could not help spitting out a laugh.

"Little Kong, stop being so narcissistic!"

"But... Brother Kong is only stating the facts," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

Everyone was speechless.

As they listened to the group chatting along the way, they soon arrived at the banquet hall.

"Wow~! So—so much food!!"

Xiao Wu was stunned by the sight before her.

Every large table was covered in all kinds of delicious dishes, enough to make her drool.

Since they had come with Underworld, they were assigned to a table with her.

Xue Ye's family sat directly across from them.

"Wife, what a huge peach. Hurry and eat it."

Seeing a large, juicy peach, Starry Sky quickly picked it up and handed it to his wife, Underworld.

Underworld's eyes lit up. This peach was even bigger than her head—there was no need to say how tempting it was to her.

Hugging the peach, she began gnawing on it without the slightest concern for her image.

Seeing this, Xue Ye was delighted.

Then he waved his hand.

The palace maids understood Xue Ye's gesture and quickly withdrew. When they returned, each of them carried a tray filled with large, juicy peaches.

When the peaches were placed before Underworld, she was so happy she nearly fainted.

"Brother Kong, these peaches come from a thousand-year-old fruit tree. If the great chef likes them, we are willing to give this peach tree to you."

Xue Qinghe said with a kind expression.

A thousand-year-old peach tree—and the peaches it bore—could be said to be incomparably precious.

Especially a fruit tree. Something that had lived for more than a thousand years was worth a fortune.

Any faction would treat it as a treasure that safeguarded its foundation.

Yet they were giving it away just like that.

It was clear just how much Xue Ye desired the general's food!

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of my wife!"

Starry Sky had also gone into the Star Dou Great Forest to search for old peach trees.

But whether peach trees or other plant-type soul beasts, they were all nourishment for other soul beasts.

Hardly any could live for a thousand years.

They simply could not find any.

Now that they had a thousand-year-old peach tree, once it was placed in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to grow, his wife would be able to eat delicious peaches every day.

Starry Sky was immensely happy.

Amid the friendly atmosphere, the banquet soon came to an end.

After Xue Ye took them around the imperial palace, it was already evening.

It was time for Underworld to show what she could do.

They were taken to the royal vegetable garden.

Many people had already made preparations, waiting for Underworld to choose the ingredients.

How could Underworld possibly know how?

Fortunately, Starry Sky was there to prompt her.

Underworld selected one ingredient after another.

But what puzzled Starry Sky and the others was why these people directly loaded the ingredients they needed into basins and carried them away.

Was there something seriously wrong with them?

Moreover, they prepared enormous amounts of every ingredient, as though they were heading to a factory to feed pigs.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Starry Sky saw the biggest pot he had ever seen in his life!

It could probably fit an adult elephant inside all at once!

Were they trying to make enough food for everyone in Heaven Dou City in one meal?

Then that was truly a shame.

Raiden Shogun was special, and the food she made had extraordinary effects.

But Underworld did not have that ability. No matter how much she ruined it, it would only be like feeding pigs.

Starry Sky, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing were now Underworld's assistants.

Then they began washing vegetables.

What left Starry Sky utterly speechless was that there were so many people in the Tian Dou Imperial Palace, so why had no one washed the vegetables for them beforehand?

They had even packed everything into flowerpots, making them pull them out one by one before washing them.

Xiao Wu was exhausted and complained endlessly.

"Huh? Why is the great chef washing the vegetables so cleanly this time?" someone outside asked in confusion.

This was different from before.

"Perhaps different foods require different methods."

"As expected of the great chef! Every step is carried out with incomparable care."

While processing the ingredients, Starry Sky added a huge amount of laxatives...

This time, the food had only side effects and no benefits at all~!

Then, through the efforts of the group, a massive pot of vegetable soup was prepared.

Because Starry Sky wanted that Raiden Shogun sort of feeling,

he added large amounts of purple sweet potatoes, grape juice, and other purple ingredients.

The huge pot of food they produced looked like something that made people want to run away at first sight.

Yet the Tian Dou nobles cheered joyfully. This was exactly the effect they wanted!

One after another, they picked up plates and lined up like they were getting food in a cafeteria.

Starry Sky was speechless too. Were these people really that lazy?

They even wanted him to serve the food for them!

Hmph! Starry Sky wore a resentful expression as he gave each of them a large helping, making sure they ate plenty.

With all the laxatives inside, Starry Sky wanted to see the Tian Dou Imperial Palace turn into a dry latrine filled with wailing ghosts and howling wolves today!

But these people had no idea that disaster was about to strike. Instead, they were immensely grateful to Starry Sky for serving them so much food!

Every one of them was incredibly excited.
