This young man isn’t bad at all, buttering up the audience so smoothly.

If he went to the modern world, he’d probably blow everyone’s minds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TSK TSK, I must say, my brother really has an IQ of two hundred and eighty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He learns things so quickly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao had intended to take Xia Ruqing for a stroll, but she had barely walked a few steps when she started to complain of hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao was quite helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing hurriedly pointed to her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, it’s him... *He’s* hungry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little bun in her belly thought:Mommy is so mean! I’m not even born yet, and she’s already making me the scapegoat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao was instantly defeated and had no choice but to take her to the best restaurant in the Capital City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s go get something to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice; there were two mouths to feed now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing rubbed her growling belly and scurried after him eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Meanwhile.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tingfeng, dressed in black, moved silently through the dimly lit streets and alleys like a dragon gliding through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he found his target—the group of Itinerant Sorcerers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three had packed up their stall and were, as usual, laughing and joking as they walked and counted their money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, however, they felt something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, a lean man whose eyes darted about with a cunning glint, sniffed the air, then stopped in his tracks and said, \"Damn it, someone’s following us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another, an extremely burly fellow, also looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said disdainfully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m telling you, Rat, don’t always make such a fuss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These streets are full of people. We’re three grown men; who would be following *us*?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man with alluring peach-blossom eyes standing nearby immediately became theatrical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinching his throat to produce a high-pitched voice and making a delicate orchid-finger gesture, he whined coquettishly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you! A beauty like myself is hardly a ’grown man’...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So disgusting I could die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rat was equally disgusted and spat in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"PAH! You shameless Monster! Hurry up and see if we’re actually being followed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monster shot him an annoyed glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, what’s the hurry? Let me take a look, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying so, he did indeed look around first, then twitched his ears, listening intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rat and Tiger’s expressions changed, and they quickly gathered around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well? What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monster, dropping his previous theatricality, now looked uncharacteristically serious and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I heard a slight sound just now... but... how is it gone now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monster grumbled, his full, bright red lips forming a pout as he frowned, his face full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could it just disappear?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Tiger and Rat also noticed something was wrong—a figure was rapidly approaching them from not too far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AH...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He looks like someone from The Government Office...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, run! Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them took off, but before they had run more than a couple of steps, they both cried out in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OUCH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were unexpectedly kicked hard in the shoulder and sent sprawling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it?! You little brat, how dare you strike your grandpa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rat rolled quite a distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you, show yourself! I swear I’ll make sure you don’t live to see tomorrow’s dawn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger, being much larger, only stumbled and fell but wasn’t sent flying; he was still near his original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tingfeng, still in his black attire, executed a graceful backflip and landed before them. His eyebrows, sharp as if carved, furrowed, and his gaze, like an ice-cold sword, swept over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Who was it that said I wouldn’t live to see the dawn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger scrambled up from the ground. Without even bothering to look properly at the person before him, he blurted out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was me, your grandpa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1342,"2026-05-30T07:40:59.353Z","2026-06-01T04:30:39.363Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5f94fe22d8be8e68f4a1ac26d753c4c2516e73a6b2f4cff91996b196566910e","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-406","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-405",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
