Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1667: Chapter 1669: Bai Hua Cake That Is Indistinguishable From the Real

This time, when Ye Luo walked out of the main hall, no one stopped him. It seemed that as long as Ye Luo had chosen the woman he wanted, the subsequent events were no longer his concern.

With nothing else to do, Ye Luo had no choice but to return to his own palace.

However, at the entrance of his palace, Ye Luo encountered Lie Jue and others who were waiting for him.

At a glance, Ye Luo could tell that Lie Jue, with the mindset of keeping wealth within the family, had gathered people, all from his own Leopard Clan.

Ye Luo had no objections to this; as long as these people were strong enough, he would agree regardless of which clan they came from.

”Greetings, Third Prince!”

Upon seeing Ye Luo, Lie Jue knelt down without hesitation.

”Please rise!”

With a smile on his lips, Ye Luo helped them up and continued, ”Lie Jue has already informed you of your tasks, right?”

”Yes, Your Highness, we are aware.”

Ye Luo nodded, ”Good, as long as you know. Let me make it clear: Man Niu is simple and honest. His strength is average, but he has done me a great favor. I have said that in this life, I will always regard him as a brother. So, you must also respect him as you respect me and be loyal to him! As long as Brother Niu is well, you can rest assured that your rewards will not be lacking!”

Ye Luo made this promise because he understood that these members of the Leopard Clan were unlikely to regard the Minotaur Clan favorably without his intervention. Without Ye Luo, they might not even spare Man Niu a glance. Therefore, significant early rewards were necessary. Once they got familiar with Man Niu, Ye Luo believed that even without him, they would remain loyal to Man Niu!

”Alright, you may leave. Rest assured, I’ll take care of your transfer order soon!”

”Rest assured, Your Highness. We’ve already informed the commanders that we are here to serve the Third Prince, so they’ve already given us the transfer order.”

Ye Luo nodded; this made things much easier and avoided a lot of trouble.

As Ye Luo walked towards his room, he heard the exasperated voice of a maid from afar.

”Young Master Niu, this thing is not edible; it’s just an ornament.”

”Ah, isn’t it called Bai Hua Cake? Why can’t it be eaten? I don’t believe you. You must be reluctant to let me eat it, but I insist on eating it!”

”Young Master Niu, you mustn’t, it really isn’t edible...”

Ye Luo could hear the frustration in the maid’s tone, likely because, during his absence, Man Niu had caused quite a bit of trouble.

After all, Ye Luo had seen the daunting impact of Man Niu’s endless curiosity and ignorance...

Well, if he didn’t go in now, something might really happen.

Ye Luo quickly stepped in and pushed the door open, only to see Man Niu holding something that looked like a cake, ready to shove it into his mouth, while the maid was anxiously standing by.

”Brother Niu, you mustn’t!”

Ye Luo hurriedly intervened.

To be honest, this Bai Hua Cake was quite misleading. Whether it was an intentional prank by the Royal Palace’s Artifact Refiner or not, it looked just like a cake and even smelled delicious!

Unfortunately, it’s not for eating at all but merely a small ornament crafted by the Royal Palace’s Artifact Refiner!

This stems from the Demon King’s nature; he is thrifty but also loves grandeur.

He posed a challenge to the palace Artifact Refiners: to make someone entering the palace immediately be awed by its opulence, whilst demanding extreme thriftiness from the artifacts.

After much deliberation, the artifact refiners came up with this solution, crafting various delicacies to be permanently displayed in the palace!

The Demon Clan’s traditions differ from the Human Race’s.

For humans, rare treasures are most valuable, but in the eyes of the Demon Clan, delicacies are what hold the highest value!

For Demons, being able to eat more advanced food is the most direct testament to one’s strength!

Thus, this solution from the artifact refiners indeed met the Demon King’s requirements.

It allowed newcomers to be wowed by the palace’s variety of cuisines while also effectively controlling costs.

The Bai Hua Cake used as an ornament in Ye Luo’s room was created in this way.

Ye Luo helplessly looked at Man Niu, realizing he might have overlooked one important thing: Man Niu was likely starving!

It’s known that a cultivator like Ye Luo can go without food or drink for a period without significant impact because they can sustain themselves with spiritual power.

But Man Niu couldn’t; he was a Body Cultivator and couldn’t even manipulate spiritual power. Consequently, he couldn’t do without food and actually consumed a lot more of it.

Since leaving the Demon Hunter Tournament, Ye Luo hadn’t taken Man Niu out to eat much. Ye Luo himself was fine, but Man Niu couldn’t endure it.

Man Niu was honest, so he never spoke up. However, as the saying goes, ’one meal missed, and you feel famished!’

No matter how honest Man Niu was, when he got hungry, he had to find something to eat. Incredibly, the fact he attempted such a thing meant he was really starved.

It was indeed Ye Luo’s oversight!

Understanding this, Ye Luo told Man Niu once more, ”Brother Niu, don’t worry, the meal is ready. Let’s go eat now!”

Upon hearing this, Man Niu cheerfully dropped the Bai Hua Cake he was holding and rushed over to Ye Luo. In this royal palace, he only knew Ye Luo and naturally could only rely on him.

In Man Niu’s heart, there was actually no fear of the Royal Palace. Had it been someone else, suddenly arriving at the palace, they would have been cautious, fearing to do anything wrong, but Man Niu was different. In Man Niu’s eyes, the Royal Palace was just like a larger tribe. Although it was much more powerful than their Minotaur Clan, it was still just a tribe, so naturally, he wouldn’t pay too much attention to it!

None of the meals were being served at that time, but the palace had its own royal kitchen, always ready to prepare food for the princes, princesses, and for the Demon King and Demon Queen. Any time Ye Luo wanted to eat, he could always have something prepared immediately.

If not, then the Royal Family might not have seemed very proper.

Since Ye Luo was already at the royal kitchen, he ignored other formalities and directly began eating there with Man Niu.

This time, Ye Luo once again witnessed one of Man Niu’s special abilities!

And that was eating!

Man Niu really had an incredible appetite!

A dozen royal chefs had to continuously prepare food non-stop and yet barely kept up with Man Niu’s eating speed!
