Chapter 146

Also present were the heads and senior leadership of the Four Great Families: the Seishūin, Sayagū, Kuhōzuka, and Renjō families.

Also present were the senior leadership of Musashino, the psychic organization guarding the Kantō region.

A crowd watched as Li An's private jet landed, then the cabin door swung wide, revealing a handsome young man and a group of youthful, beautiful girls.

The senior leadership of Sakura Nation exchanged glances at this sight.

It seems this new king has a taste for women—good, that makes things easier.

Let's select some top-tier female witches to present to the new king.

Yet as these leaders whispered among themselves, Azriel stepped forward from Li An's side, gazing down at the group of monkeys, her eyes filled with revulsion.

Immediately, she unleashed a terrifying pressure, forcing all of Sakura Nation's government leadership and the Mage Society's senior leadership to kneel on the ground.

"How dare you whisper and gossip before the King's presence!" With Azriel's furious cry, Sakura Nation's government leadership and the Mage Society's senior leadership trembled in terror.

The Seventh King is terrifying!

Even one of his maids possesses such terrifying power—how immense must the Seventh King's strength be?

They could no longer imagine it!

Erica, Liliana, Lucrezia, and Princess Alice also witnessed Azriel's terrifying power for the first time, and were equally startled.

If Azriel is this terrifying, then Jibril, also a Winged One, must be no weaker.

And that mechanical girl, Schubel—her strength remains a mystery.

At this moment, the women understood just how terrifying Li An was.

Not only was his own power beyond measure, but even his maids and guards were this powerful.

Erica and Liliana, both also maids and guards, felt immense pressure.

"O King, we are unworthy—please forgive us!" Sakura Nation's government leadership and the Mage Society's senior leadership all bowed their heads, begging for mercy.

At this moment, they were truly afraid—fearing that if Li An grew displeased, he would kill them all outright.

Fear stripped them of their lofty postures; they whimpered like loyal hounds.

Seeing this, Li An said to Azriel: "A minor punishment and a stern warning will suffice."

"Yes, Master!" Azriel nodded and withdrew her pressure.

At this moment, the kneeling Sakura Nation leadership finally exhaled in relief.

But they still dared not rise—Li An had not yet spoken.

"Get up, all of you. Don't kneel before me like a bunch of turtles!" Li An grumbled.

"Yes yes yes, we're getting up now!" The Sakura Nation leadership scrambled to their feet, then stood respectfully on either side, clearing a path.

Li An led the girls straight out of the airport, where several luxury cars were already waiting outside.

All of them were Rolls-Royces!

Besides the Phantom, there were the Cullinan, Ghost, and Dawn!

Li An chose a Phantom and stepped inside; Azriel, Jibril, and Schubel followed him in.

When Erica and the others tried to get in, the back seat was full, and they didn't want to sit in the front passenger seat.

With no other choice, they switched to another car.

Thus, Erica, Liliana, Lucrezia, Princess Alice, and Eleana selected a Cullinan.

Once everyone was seated, the Sakura Nation leadership ordered the drivers to start the cars, escorting Li An and the others to Osaka's most luxurious hotel.

To ensure a smooth ride, the Self-Defense Forces led the way, clearing all other vehicles to the sides—even traffic lights were ignored as they drove straight through.

Sitting in the car, Li An watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh: when it comes to sucking up, it's still the little days that lead!

After ten minutes, the convoy arrived at the hotel.

The hotel had already evacuated all guests; from the moment Li An arrived, the entire hotel would serve him alone!

Li An, too lazy to book multiple rooms, had the hotel open the best presidential suite directly.

The suite contained multiple rooms, enough for all the girls to stay.

After placing their luggage in the rooms, the girls prepared to go downstairs for food.

After nearly fourteen hours on the plane, they were already starving.

Although food was served on the plane, they found it unpalatable.

At most, they'd eaten snacks to fill their stomachs.

Li An wasn't particularly hungry—he was already a god, capable of going without food entirely.

But the pleasure of taste is one of life's great joys; Li An had no intention of giving it up.

"Then let's go down together," Li An said, rising.

Seeing Li An join them, the girls cheered.

Arriving at the hotel restaurant, they found a large group of staff and chefs already waiting.

These chefs weren't just from Sakura Nation—they were also from France, Italy, Spain, and Huaxia.

Good heavens, these countries are all culinary powerhouses—the birthplaces of global cuisine!

Li An then told the girls to order whatever dishes they liked.

These chefs would prepare everything fresh on the spot, using the freshest ingredients.

Li An wanted to test the Huaxia chef's skill, so he ordered: Wenshi Tofu, Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth, Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish, Soup-Filled Yellow Croaker, Triple-Decker Duck, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!

The Huaxia chef, after reading Li An's order, immediately wore a bitter smile, sweat dripping from his face.

There was no way around it—Huaxian cuisine was vast, divided into Eight Great Cuisines, each with countless sub-cuisines.

A chef mastering even one cuisine was already extremely impressive.

Mastering all Eight Great Cuisines, and achieving mastery in each, was clearly impossible.

The dishes Li An ordered were clearly the signature dishes of each major cuisine.

For instance, Tofu with Silken Thoughts belongs to Huaiyang cuisine within the Su cuisine, Steamed Cabbage in Boiling Water belongs to Sichuan cuisine, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall belongs to Fujian cuisine; these are not dishes an ordinary chef can make.

Seeing the chef's troubled expression, Li An did not wish to trouble him, so he asked, "Can you not make them?"

The chef hurriedly replied, "I can make them, but I am not particularly proficient, especially with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall which requires several hours of slow stewing; I fear it would delay your time."

"Then remove Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," Li An said casually, then asked again, "What cuisine are you good at?"

The chef immediately replied, "Su cuisine!"

"Then remove Steamed Cabbage in Boiling Water as well and replace it with Lion's Head Meatballs." Li An was quite reasonable, changing all the dishes he had ordered to Su cuisine.

"Good, I'm tired; please wait a moment!" The chef's face immediately lit up with a smile.

Having witnessed the entire scene, Erica said with some surprise, "Are there many Chinese cuisines? They are even divided into so many types?"

"Indeed there are many; so many that if you ate one dish a day, you might not finish them all in a lifetime," Li An said with a smile.

"That's so amazing, then can we go to Huaxia to travel when we have time?" Erica hugged Li An's arm and coquettishly said, while speaking she rubbed her pair of big white rabbits against Li An's arm.

Li An only felt it was very soft, but the elasticity was astonishing!

Seeing Erica's actions, the other women all secretly cursed a fox spirit!

Especially Liliana, who cursed the most viciously in her heart.

Azurill looked at Erica with eyes that were not kind, feeling somewhat angry.

This female monkey actually used her two dirty lumps of fat to rub against the master's body; it was simply unforgivable!

If Li An had not forbidden her from attacking ordinary people, she would have already struck and destroyed Erica at this moment.

"Good, good, good, I promise you," Li An agreed with a smile.

Seeing Li An agree, Erica was immediately extremely happy.

However, she was not afraid at all of the hostile gazes from the women opposite; she even proudly lifted her head and looked down on them with the gaze of the main wife.

Lucullia was also provoked by Erica's gaze.

Veins faintly bulged on her forehead, and she said with a kind expression, "Erica, after the meal, let's practice; consider it digestion after eating!"

Erica replied, "I have long heard the name of the Sadingdao Witch; I have wanted to see her for a long time!"

Just as the women were bickering, the chefs also began to cook one after another.

The open kitchen counter was blocked by a glass partition; diners sitting at the dining table could clearly see the entire process of the chefs cooking.

Not only was it clean and hygienic, but even the ingredients were killed fresh.

For instance, the Squirrel Mandarin Fish that Li An ordered; that Chinese chef just killed a mandarin fish fresh!

And the steak that Erica ordered was also a freshly killed Wagyu cow.

Although Li An did not see the process of killing the cow, when the beef was brought over, the piece of meat not only retained its body heat but was even twitching slightly.

Eliana's eyes kept staring at that Chinese chef, as if wanting to steal his techniques.

Since learning that Li An liked Chinese food, she had been learning to cook Chinese food and studying Chinese cuisine these past few days.
