Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 177 The Beastman World 14

"You know perfectly well that your spices are of great use to the orcs, so why are you giving them away for free? What benefit do you gain from this?"

Lin Xiaoqian thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, we come from a distant galaxy. We are new to the Orc planet and are very grateful for the care we have received from the Orcs. Now that we know that the spices we brought might help with the Orc race's mania, this is a great thing that will benefit the entire race."

She paused briefly to gather her thoughts before continuing, "To be honest, we, the Flower Clan, are all charitable and enjoy helping others. We don't pursue material benefits much; we only hope to establish friendly relations with other planets. Being on good terms with other races is more precious to us than money."

Leo listened to Lin Xiaoqian's answer, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "The Flower Clan? I've never heard of them. However, I like your race very much, and I'm willing to establish friendly relations with you. In this vast universe, having one more friend is indeed better than countless treasures."

Leo solemnly said to Lin Xiaoqian, "The orcs will never forget the kindness of the Chinese people for helping you."

Manager Feng, who was already quite perceptive, arranged for several large transport robots to come over, quickly load up all sorts of seasonings, and then came over to report to Leo.

"Your Majesty, the spices have all been packed."

Leo nodded slightly, then looked up at Lin Xiaoqian and the others, saying, "You've only been on the Beastman Planet for a few days, haven't you? The Beastman Planet has many unique sights and customs. Why don't you come with me to the palace for a few days, and I'll treat you well? I'll arrange for someone to show you around the Beastman Planet. Also, I'm very interested in the Chinese people and would like to learn more about them from you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoqian and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Zhuang Damao scratched the back of his head and whispered, "This orc king wants us to go to the palace with him? What does that mean? Can we trust him?"

Liao Zhuang's eyes flickered, and he replied telepathically, "It's possible that he doesn't trust us and wants to keep us under his watchful eye."

Jiang Shuang said softly, "I think it's okay for us to go. We're not without the ability to protect ourselves. But for safety's sake, Xiao Qian shouldn't go."

Lin Xiaoqian was quite excited: "I want to go! I've been to so many worlds, but I've hardly ever left a restaurant. This is such a rare opportunity to go to the orcish royal palace. Besides, I'm a cultivator now, I know magic, and I have all sorts of life-saving measures provided by the country, so I'll be fine. Moreover, I think the orc king is quite sincere, so he shouldn't harm us."

If she really had bad intentions, she would have looted the palace clean, since there was plenty of empty warehouses anyway.

Zhuang Damao suddenly said with some eagerness, "Then let's go. I also think the Orc King is quite sincere. Even if something bad happens, I have a way to ensure everyone can come back safely. Before Mo Ying left, he left behind a lot of talismans, such as invisibility talismans and earth-遁 talismans, a whole stack of them."

As soon as Zhuang Damao finished speaking, the others fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

I almost forgot there was one more person.

Mo Ying hasn't returned since he left, and nobody knows where he went. He doesn't reply to messages either.

However, since his cultivation level was high, no one was too worried about his safety.

Seeing that their silence was growing longer, Lin Xiaoqian quickly said to Leo, not wanting to seem impolite, "Since the King of the Orcs has so kindly invited us, we'll gladly accept. We've been holed up in our little shop these past few days and haven't had time to go out and explore the Orcish planet properly. We really want to experience the customs and culture of the Orcs. However... it's really quite late today. We've been busy in the kitchen all day, so it would be too impolite to go now. Would you mind if we bothered you again tomorrow?"

Leo was slightly taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter: "Haha, of course, I overlooked that. It's getting late, and you've all been busy all day, so you should get some rest. You can come to the palace tomorrow. Chief Steward Feng, you will personally come to pick up these distinguished guests and make sure everything is arranged properly."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your subordinate will do everything in his power to ensure our distinguished guests are satisfied," Chief Steward Feng replied respectfully.

Leo nodded in satisfaction, then said to Lin Xiaoqian, "I still have official business to attend to in my palace, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Leo turned and left the restaurant with his attendants, got into the flying car, and the car quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Chief Steward Feng did not follow Leo; he wanted to personally lead the transport robot back to the palace.

He walked towards Lin Xiaoqian and presented her with both hands the large money bag filled with claw coins.

"Chef Lin, here is the fee for today's private event. Please accept it."

Lin Xiaoqian accepted it without hesitation.

"Thank you."

Manager Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Of course, of course."

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and said, "There's one more thing. The tofu pudding I had today was delicious. Could I pack one to take home?"

Perhaps because the king was not present, Steward Feng's longing for the food was revealed without any attempt to hide it, as if he was afraid of being rejected and never being able to taste such delicious food again.

Lin Xiaoqian and the others were all taken aback when they heard what Steward Feng said.

However, Lin Xiaoqian quickly came to her senses and said with a friendly smile, "Haha, Manager Feng, of course you can. Since you like it, bring a few more portions."

Manager Feng's eyes narrowed into slits with delight.

He then added, "If you have any stinky tofu left, please pack some for me as well."

"I'm sorry, Manager Feng, all the seasonings in the shop are in the delivery robot. The last two servings of stinky tofu are over there." Lin Xiaoqian said, pointing to the stinky tofu on the silver tableware on the table.

Stinky tofu probably didn't suit Leo's taste, so he didn't eat much of it, and a large plate of stinky tofu just sat there.

Manager Feng's previously disappointed eyes immediately lit up.

He coughed lightly and walked to the table: "This set of silver cutlery is what His Majesty is used to. If it's not this set when he eats, His Majesty will be angry. I almost forgot to take it away. Thank you for reminding me, Chef Lin."

He carefully picked up the silver cutlery, behaving like an elegant nobleman, as if he were holding not stinky tofu, but an incomparably precious and rare treasure.

"I have to go back and report. See you tomorrow, everyone." With that, he picked up the packaged tofu pudding and the silver cutlery for the stinky tofu, and got into the car with light steps.

Seeing that Steward Feng's car had driven away, Zhuang Damao stroked his chin and said, "He probably took what he wanted to eat, right?"

Lin Xiaoqian patted his shoulder: "That's not important. What's important is that one of you can contact Mo Ying and tell him that we're going to the orcs' palace for a few days."
