"Boss Xue, what a fine mood you're in. I have a big order here—could you possibly rush it for me?"
Hearing this, Xue Xi closed the book on her light screen and looked up. Outside the transparent wall stood a handsome man in green robes, with a blue scale on his forehead. He looked no different from an Earthling, and Xue Xi immediately felt as though she'd found a kindred spirit in a foreign land.
She hurried to her feet and asked, "How big an order are you talking about? I'll see whether I have enough in stock." Chaos City Lord thought for a moment, then asked in turn, "Is your supply reliable?"
Thinking of the steady stream of ingredients from her Cultivation Planet, Xue Xi put her hands on her hips with confidence. "Don't worry. I can definitely meet your needs."
Chaos City Lord pondered briefly, then said something that made her brows shoot up. "All right, then. I'll take everything."
Xue Xi grimaced, unable to believe her ears. "W-what do you mean?" Surely he didn't mean he wanted everything in the restaurant packed up.
She had clearly misunderstood. Chaos City Lord, a mighty figure, was procuring food on behalf of all his companions venturing through the Universe Ocean. How could he possibly want so little? He explained, "I mean, since you have a reliable supply, use all the ingredients you have to cook whatever you can. No matter how much there is, I'll take it all."
It wasn't easy for him to return to the Primordial Universe. Since these were renewable resources, he could let those youngsters wait patiently. The affairs of the Universe Ocean involved the whereabouts of a Supreme Treasure that could determine his people's fate, so resources had to be devoted to that first.
