The Moon Laurel Immortal Palace was careful in its work. They wouldn't use dissection as an excuse to eat the demon rabbit.
They had to wait until they'd figured out whether the rabbit meat was poisonous before eating it.
The disciples of the Immortal Palace each volunteered to take on the task of dissecting the demon rabbit. They washed pots, chopped vegetables, and boiled water... They were so practiced, it didn't seem like their first time doing this.
"Do you need a chef?" The Undying Fairy thought it was time to show off her skills. She volunteered, ready to bring the art of the immortals back to life.
There was no way they could let the Undying Fairy cook. Barbecue on the moon... Back in ancient times, all four immortals had been knocked unconscious by her cooking and carried home by the fairy, leaving immortal fire behind on the moon. The Immortal Palace disciples were all ordinary mortals; they definitely couldn't withstand such immortal poison.
He couldn't just say no. Lu Yang was meticulous, and his mind worked quickly. He soon figured out how to answer. As the saying went, it was better to divert a flood than to dam it. Rejecting the Undying Fairy's suggestion might provoke her rebellious streak. The best approach was to find a chef who would satisfy her.
And that chef could be none other than himself.
"Your Majesty is a person of noble birth. How could you do such a thing? Let this subject... this humble servant do it instead." Lately, whenever Lu Yang had free time, he read novels from the Immortal Palace's Scripture Depository, especially palace-intrigue novels. For a moment, his mouth had gotten ahead of him, and he'd nearly misspoken.
"That works." The Undying Fairy thought Lu Yang had a point.
