The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 416 - 413: Four-star Spiritual Food, Achieved

Seeing Xin Lin holding a broken stone and chortling away.

Gui Hu was just about to scold her, but for some reason, seeing the dirty little face of Xin Lin show a radiant smile, wearing an expression of "praise me" "quickly praise me," he found himself unable to utter a single word of rebuke.

"Right, Master Ji?!"

After Xin Lin had her fun, she turned around and saw Master Ji lying on the ground.

Master Ji was not as lucky as Xin Lin, without Gui Hu’s "heroic rescue" and the aid of a Qi Stone.

The fierce Fire Spirit knocked him unconscious, and some of his hair and beard were singed, but fortunately, he was otherwise unharmed.

But with Master Ji unconscious, trouble followed.

"Ah, this Spiritual Food."

Xin Lin looked at the Fire Emperor Auspicious Soup in the copper furnace. Due to the disruption caused by the Fire Toad and it absorbing some of the medicinal properties, even if Fire Toad Ginseng were to be added now, it would be too late.

Not to mention that the Fire Toad Ginseng had already been used up.

"Master Ji, what on earth are you doing inside? The guests are getting impatient."

The owner of Taoyao Pavilion had been waiting eagerly outside.

Hearing this, Xin Lin frowned deeply.

"A desperate situation calls for a desperate solution, Pride Corpse, help me out."

Xin Lin thought for a moment, looking towards Pride Corpse...

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and still, there was no movement from within the inner room.

The owner of Taoyao Pavilion could no longer contain himself.

"This won’t do, I have to go in and see."

The feast was nearly over, yet the main dish hadn’t been served; what was this supposed to mean?

Master Ji, standing nearby with eyes gleaming, was just waiting for the owner to throw a fit.

"The Fire Emperor Auspicious Soup is ready."

However, the person who came out wasn’t Master Ji.

"Boss, sorry to keep you waiting, Four-star Spiritual Cuisine, Fire Emperor Auspicious."

Xin Lin held a serving platter, on which a large bowl of soup was placed.

"How come it’s you? Where’s Master Ji?"

The boss was completely astonished; he remembered this youngster was just the one he had forcibly pushed into the kitchen a few days ago.

"Just now, there was a little hiccup while preparing the soup, but luckily Master Ji has taken care of it, and the soup is successfully completed. However, Master Ji is too tired and is resting inside. He asked me to serve the soup, and there are nine more bowls."

Xin Lin responded smoothly.

"Nonsense, my uncle always serves the Spiritual Food himself, especially the main dish, directly to the guests. It’s not your turn to serve the soup. There must be something wrong with it."

Master Ji snapped impatiently, rushing forward and opening the Fire Emperor Auspicious.

Inside Taoyao Pavilion, the banquet was drawing to a close, but the main dish was still not served.

The host of the banquet was clearly displeased.

Master Chen from De Yue Building, however, seemed to take pleasure in the misfortune.

Just as the host was about to erupt, the owner of Taoyao Pavilion hurried over.

"Fire Emperor Auspicious; thank you for waiting."

With that, the owner opened the bowl.

Could they actually still serve the dish?

Could it be that Old Man Ji had resolved the crisis?

But even if he had, what did it matter? Most of the medicinal effect of the Fire Toad Ginseng had been devoured by the Fire Toad; even if the Spiritual Food was complete, the quality would surely be compromised.

At that moment, he would expose them, and both Taoyao Pavilion and Master Ji would still lose face!

Master Chen was secretly surprised but kept a calm exterior.

As the soup was uncovered, no fragrance spread out.

Four-star Spiritual Cuisine, lacking in color, fragrance, and flavor – how could it still claim to be Four-star Spiritual Cuisine?

Master Chen sneered in his heart, but the host raised an eyebrow, on the verge of making a scene.
