Shouzhe Makes His Move! The Demon Venerable Attacks

The meeting ended.

After everyone had dispersed, Liu Ruolan "enthusiastically" kept Immortal Emperor Mu Yun behind for a meal and even affectionately linked arms with her.

"Ruolan..." Wang Shouzhe sensed that something was amiss and tried to help decline. "Your Majesty has descended as a projection this time. Let us forgo the meal."

"Young Master Shouzhe, you do not understand." The Immortal Emperor had not anticipated the approaching danger at all and said with complete confidence, "Although this projection of my immortal body is an aggregate of energy, it simulates my actual body exactly. I can likewise digest food and replenish energy through eating. They say Ruolan's cooking is excellent and only those close to her have the fortune to enjoy it. It seems I am in for a treat today."

"Husband, keep Her Majesty Mu Yun company and have a good chat. I shall be right back." Liu Ruolan drifted into the private kitchen of the small courtyard.

"Why would I not?" The Immortal Emperor smiled until her brows curved. "To have the good fortune to taste Ruolan's cooking is something I could only wish for."

The corner of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched. Your Majesty, as long as you like it.

Half an hour later, under Wang Shouzhe's faintly sympathetic gaze, the Immortal Emperor sampled Liu Ruolan's "carefully prepared" "delicacies." Yet to everyone's utter surprise, the Immortal Emperor ate with sparkling delight, praising them without pause. "Ruolan's cooking is indeed uniquely inventive and brimming with imagination. It has left me with an endless aftertaste."

During the meal, Wang Shouzhe had wanted to "try" a bite, but Liu Ruolan stopped him, saying it had been specially prepared for Immortal Emperor
