"Master, although the war is temporarily over, my ’Gourmet Guide to the Demonic World’ isn’t finished yet." Wang Licui puffed her cheeks in frustration, "I was just about to explore the Demonic World to scour for exotic foods that I’ve never seen or tasted, but then the Immortal Supreme forcibly brought me back, and it turns out it was your idea~""Oh, my dear disciple." True Monarch Yuan Yuan stomped his feet and clenched his chest, "Do you really think the Demonic World is like our backyard where you can browse at will? If something were to happen to you, how am I supposed to live? Boohoo~"
"In any case, Master, since you ruined my plans, you’ll have to compensate me." Wang Licui still looked puffed up in anger.
"Compensation, compensation, of course! Whatever compensation you want! Whatever your master has is yours, and even the future of our Devour Heaven Sacred Land belongs to you." True Monarch Yuan Yuan, upon hearing that a simple compensation could win over his disciple, immediately lit up with joy and began pulling out treasures from his storage ring, "Here’s the leg meat and tenderloin of a Level Nine Earth Dragon, plus a pair of Azure Luan wings and neck, all prepared spicy for you. Oh, here’s another treat, Level Eleven Sea Beast meat~~"
Seeing this pile of delicacies, the anger on Wang Licui’s face quickly faded, replaced by a drooling expression: "Master, if you had told me you had prepared so many delicious things, I would’ve returned sooner."
Then, happily, she pulled Lan Wanyi along to stuff all sorts of delicacies into her storage ring.
"Hahaha, since my disciple loves food, I must do everything to gather delicious things for her." True Monarch Yuan Yuan patted his chest, with an air of "Lici, I am committed to taking care of you."
"Thank you, Master, you’re so good to me." Wang Licui became even more affectionate with True Monarch Yuan Yuan.
The doorkeeper nearby watched enviously.
Truly, comparisons are odious; Miss Lici leads such a blessed life.
The weary girl standing outside the Ascending Immortal Gate also watched with an envious look on her face.
After the master and disciple engaged in their banter for a while, True Monarch Yuan Yuan, having successfully won Lici over, returned to the Immortal Palace to continue discussing with the Immortal Supreme.
At this moment, having tidied up the delicacies, Wang Licui’s gaze landed on the weary girl.
She couldn’t help but ask the doorkeeper, "Hey, Doorkeeper Brother, who is that girl? Why isn’t she allowed into the Immortal Palace?"
"Oh, Miss Lici, you’re too polite." The doorkeeper bowed humbly, "That is Princess Haige. It’s not that we won’t let her in, but rather her demands are too difficult for the Immortal Supreme. We’ve advised her to leave many times, but she insists on standing there for half a year... Isn’t this just pressuring the Immortal Palace?"
"What’s she trying to do? Even making things difficult for the Immortal Supreme? Tell me quickly, it’ll make me happy." Wang Licui’s eyes lit up.
She was currently quite displeased with the Immortal Supreme, given that she was forcibly brought back this time because of him.
"She has some unrealistic demands. This Princess Haige was a princess of the fallen Xia Country. She wants the Immortal Dynasty to deploy troops to help her reclaim Xia Country. It’s said that she’s appealed to many Prominent Families and even went to the Immortal Emperor Palace, but all she got was rejection."
"Indeed, the current situation is leaning towards the cooperation between the Immortal-Demon Dynasties to resist the Demonic World invasion. Not long ago, the Third Prince of the Demonic Dynasty even led troops to support our Immortal Dynasty’s base. The two sides are in a delicate phase of warming relations, and the Immortal Dynasty would not easily start a conflict with the Demonic Dynasty," Doorkeeper B also added, "But this former Xia Princess, she just won’t give up..."
The doorkeeper’s tone was mixed with helplessness and sighing, both in admiration of this princess’s stubbornness and lamentation at her lack of awareness of the situation.
If Wang Shouzhe were here, he might quickly recognize that this woman was actually the fallen princess he once saved at sea.
"I understand," Wang Licui nodded, then went over and took hold of Princess Haige’s hand, "Come, come, come, follow me. I’ll take you to eat something. People can’t survive without food, and after not eating or drinking for half a year, your body must be worn out."
"I won’t leave; I demand to see the Immortal Supreme." Princess Haige stubbornly said, "Please let go of me."
But Wang Licui didn’t listen, scooping her up and tossing her over her shoulder, then took off like a shooting star towards the Devour Heaven Sacred Land, "This method definitely won’t work. Let me first treat you to some food. Once you’re full, I’ll take you to see the Immortal Supreme." Wang Licui casually explained as they flew through the sky.
"Really?" Princess Haige stopped struggling.
"Why would I lie about this? Though, whether the Immortal Supreme will agree to your request is something I can’t guarantee," Wang Licui said, "Anyway, the Immortal Supreme is quite troubled by your matters, so letting him be even more troubled isn’t a bad idea."
Since the Devour Heaven Sacred Land wasn’t too far from the Immortal Palace, and with Wang Licui’s high bloodline, she raced with divine escape skills at lightning speed.
Soon, she brought Princess Haige back to the Devour Heaven Sacred Land.
Lan Wanyi closely followed behind her.
Having lived in the Devour Heaven Sacred Land for many years, and being treated like a treasure by True Monarch Yuan Yuan, Wang Licui naturally had her own courtyard, a luxurious villa with a large area.
Back at her courtyard, Wang Licui joyfully set up a barbecue grill.
This grill was no ordinary one. Not only was it made of extraordinary materials, but the charcoal inside was made from high-grade Spirit Wood, producing Spirit Wood Charcoal.
She then took out fresh meat pieces, marinating them with various fresh spices from the Demonic World, and placed them on the grill.
Soon, a mouthwatering aroma of grilled meat spread throughout the courtyard.
"Chitter, chitter, chitter!"
The Trashy Rat had already climbed out of its little pocket, jumping around eagerly nearby, its craving unmistakable.
"Don’t rush, don’t rush, attend to the guest first." Wang Licui casually cut some tender meat for Princess Haige, advising her, "Take small bites first to settle your stomach; once your appetite awakens, you can eat more."
Princess Haige took small bites, tears suddenly falling: "Thank you for helping me, senior. May I ask your name? I’ve visited many relatives throughout the Immortal Dynasty, but no one has been willing to help me like this."
Though no action was taken, from that grasp earlier, she already discerned that this "young girl," who appeared younger than herself, had cultivation well above her own, likely at least in the Purple Abode Realm.
"No need for ’senior’; my name is Wang Licui."
"So, you’re Lici, the Immortal. My name is Si Ruonan, just a princess of a country fallen three thousand years ago."
"Then eat more, the more you eat, the more energy you’ll have to restore your country." Wang Licui began feeding her large bites.
"..."
Princess Haige found the food inexplicably delicious, and her heart warmed.
Meanwhile, the Trashy Rat beside them could only watch with nothing to eat, drooling hungrily.
At this moment.
Wang Licui’s feeding motion suddenly paused, staring in shock at Princess Haige’s... chest: "Hey? Why is your chest glowing?"
"Ah!"
Princess Haige exclaimed, quickly reddening as she covered her chest.
After a while, she slowly took out a jade pendant.
The pendant was entirely pure white, with a simple, ancient design. It was now flashing and emitting light, with seemingly profound and mysterious runes flickering within the glow, emanating a mystifying and elusive power.
Princess Haige looked at the jade pendant in confusion, equally puzzled and bewildered: "This is an ancient jade pendant passed down from our Si Family ancestors. I don’t know why it would start glowing."
