The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 861 - 859: Unknown Xuan Spirit Beast
At this time, it was not only the Huang family; the Imperial Kitchen within the palace was also shrouded in gloom.
"Useless, each and every one of you is useless. I don’t care, by noon tomorrow, at the royal banquet, you must present a Spiritual Food. If you can’t, all of you from the Imperial Kitchen and the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association will bring your heads to see the Emperor!"
The Third Prince, Long Qingchen, wore a livid face, pointing angrily at the silent imperial chefs and Spiritual Delicacy Masters.
Nearby, President Mu and Master Chen also remained silent.
After speaking, Long Qingchen swept his sleeves and left.
"Easier said than done, that peculiar thing, what exactly is it? Nobody knows, how can we prepare it?"
Master Chen spoke with a look of frustration.
Originally, he thought that crafting a mere five-star Spiritual Food for this banquet would suffice; he had even prepared the Nine-headed Abalone, ready to showcase his skills at the event.
Who could have known that a five-star Dark Spiritual Beast from Hai Zhang Country would suddenly appear?
That Dark Spiritual Beast looks so strange; he racked his brain but still couldn’t discern its species.
Without knowing the species, how can one know how to prepare it?
No wonder each chef in the Imperial Kitchen was looking so troubled.
"President Mu, do you have any leads?"
Master Chen pinned his last hopes on President Mu.
President Mu gained fame early and has traveled extensively, having visited large countries like Hai Zhang; surely he should know something about Dark Spiritual Beasts.
"This type of Dark Spiritual Beast, I have not seen. Though I have visited Hai Zhang Country, I haven’t seen a Dark Spiritual Beast like that there. I believe General Nalan was clearly making things difficult intentionally. Otherwise, who would directly use a Level 5 Dark Spiritual Beast to make five-star Spiritual Food?"
President Mu shook his head.
A Level 5 Dark Spiritual Beast is akin to a Martial Artist, far surpassing the Xuan Transformation Realm.
Yet as Spiritual Delicacy Masters, even a five-star spirit chef like him is merely at the Dark Transformation Realm Peak; with such cultivation, there’s no way to subdue a Level 5 Dark Spiritual Beast, let alone prepare it.
Previously, didn’t Dining Officer Huang hurt himself trying to kill that Fifth Grade Dark Spiritual Beast, ending up with thirty strokes as punishment?
Long Qingchen himself is the Third Prince, yet doesn’t understand such a simple principle, blindly promising that General Nalan’s request was a major mistake on his part.
But Long Qingchen is the Third Prince, and his words represent the Imperial Family.
The words have already been spoken, and how can they be taken back?
"What should be done then? Perhaps, tomorrow morning, we could use another five-star Spiritual Food to replace that unidentified Dark Spiritual Beast?"
Master Chen, racking his brains, could only think of this method.
"Do you think the other guests present are fools? Not to mention others, the guests from Hai Zhang Country will not agree. The urgent task is to find a way to bring some palace experts over to kill that Dark Spiritual Beast and then think about how to prepare it."
President Mu, after pondering, also only thought of this response method.
That night, countless people in the royal palace were sleepless.
As dawn slowly broke, the Empress Dowager finished her grooming early and saw Shi Pin bringing Xin Zhuo to pay respects.
"Haven’t seen you in a few days, Shi Pin; you seem to look even better. Looking at you, who would know you’ve given birth to a child."
Today is Emperor Longteng’s royal banquet, and the Empress Dowager was in a fine mood.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, you are the one who truly remains youthful; you look as young as the Emperor."
Shi Pin obediently replied.
"You, Shi Pin, your words are sweet like they’re coated in honey."
The Empress Dowager laughed.
