Withdrawing her domain, Xue Xi used her telekinetic power to lift the prepared dishes and walked out. As the plates landed on the table, she looked helplessly at the three people still in deep meditation. It seemed necessary to wake them up; otherwise, given that the effects of the Cloud Mist Tea lasted for a month, the restaurant would have to shut down.

Although the progress bar was currently locked, she still intended to continue providing food for the people for a while longer before leaving Earth.

Her petite palms clapped three times, and the ripples of spiritual energy attached to them forcibly awakened the three who were immersed in comprehending the laws.

Looking at the three who stared at her with dazed expressions, Xue Xi pressed her fist to her mouth: "Ahem, well, I've prepared a rich feast for everyone. After you finish eating, you should all go back home and continue your seclusion!"

The group regained their senses, feeling the power of the laws they had comprehended within their bodies with pleasant surprise. First was Hong: "Is this the realm of laws you've always been talking about, Xue Xi? It is truly incredibly powerful!"

Thor suppressed the violent thunder within him, wishing a powerful enemy would jump out right now so he could fight for three hundred rounds: "Indeed. With the addition of this Law of Thunder, having just stepped over the threshold, I feel like I could take on 100 of my former self!"

Luo Feng, however, remained silent. In such a short time, he had only managed to polish his domain to perfection; he had only touched upon the faintest trace of the laws, far inferior to Hong and Thor.

Xue Xi invited the three to the table to eat. Since she hadn't practiced the new recipes other than the Cloud Mist Tea, the Tofu Pudding hadn't been arranged yet.

"Burp," Thor leaned back on his chair contentedly, rubbing his distended little belly, and said with satisfaction: "Only Fourth Sister's cooking can give me that wonderful feeling of being stuffed!"

Hong elegantly wiped his mouth, thanked Xue Xi, and was the first to take his leave: "Then Lei Zi and I will head back first. Wasting even a second of this powerful enlightenment effect would be a crime against heaven. Fourth Sister, see you next month when you renew the enlightenment buff."

After speaking, he hauled away Thor, who still wanted to clear the plates, and stepped onto the fighter jet, leaving only Luo Feng, who was still scooping Cat Ear Noodles into his mouth, doubting his life.

Babata crawled out from the ring and patted Luo Feng's head comfortingly: "Don't be discouraged, Luo Feng. You have to admit that there are differences between people. The fact that Hong and Thor were able to comprehend a domain at the Stellar Rank on their own is enough to prove their talent."

After saying that, it patted its own small chest: "But don't look down on yourself either. Don't you still have me? Under the guidance of Lord Babata the Devil, you definitely won't fall behind them."

Watching Babata feed chicken soup for the soul to Luo Feng, Xue Xi felt a stir in her heart and secretly thought that the opportunity had arrived.

So she stood up to clear the plates, and 'accidentally,' a ten-meter-tall Black Gold Giant Egg rolled out of the Universe Pot, stopping right above Luo Feng's head.

Luo Feng looked speechlessly at Xue Xi, who was covering her mouth with an 'oops, I didn't mean to' expression: "Fourth Sister, you're being too careless! Also, what kind of egg is this? It's huge!"

Babata also looked suspicious as it pulled out an analyzer to scan the Black Gold Giant Egg. Xue Xi scratched her head and pulled out the Universe Pot, looking like she was about to start heating oil: "It's nothing, I heard it's an egg of a Golden Horned Beast. Oh well, who cares, it's all the same once it's in your stomach!"

"What? A Golden Horned Beast! You want to eat it? Ahhhhh, no way!" Having detected the key elements, Babata let out a sharp shriek and hurriedly flew in front of the Golden Horned Beast egg, spreading its arms to block the actions of the Great Demon King Xue Xi.

Luo Feng had also seen the name of the Golden Horned Beast in the Universal Knowledge Compendium, and he touched the giant egg in shock: As expected of a Golden Horned Beast, the egg alone weighs several hundred tons. If it weren't for my decent physical fitness, my head probably would have been pushed into my chest cavity.

Then, thinking of Xue Xi's culinary skills, he couldn't help but slurp: "Sounds good, sounds good! Fourth Sister, I want it salt and pepper flavored!"

Babata turned its head in disbelief: "Luo Feng, why is your brain filled with nothing but seasonings! This is a Golden Horned Beast with one of the twelve peak bloodlines! And you want it salt and pepper flavored? I really want to pry your head open to see if it's filled with salt and pepper!"

Luo Feng looked innocently at Babata, who was stomping its feet in the void: "What's wrong? Is the meat of a Golden Horned Beast egg not good?"

Xue Xi covered her face with her right hand. It's over, it's over. City Lord Luo has been raised into a foodie by her; what a sin, what a sin.

To make up for her sin, Xue Xi stopped acting and directly introduced the innate skills of the Golden Horned Beast. Luo Feng's eyes lit up as he listened.

Having received the Soul Seal Inheritance, he naturally considered the idea of soul transference immediately. After all, it was a peak cosmic bloodline, the kind that becomes a Domain Lord as an adult. But thinking of the ugly beast body in the data, and then thinking of his family and his young wife, he immediately dismissed the idea.

However, after hearing what Xue Xi said about the Golden Horned Beast's clone talent, Luo Feng's heart suddenly stirred, but the thought of giving up his human identity made him hesitate.

Babata saw Luo Feng's hesitation: "Luo Feng, although you have the master's inheritance and I am confident in training you into a World Lord powerhouse, that will take a very long time. To become an Immortal, honestly speaking, I am not very confident given your current talent."
