Chapter 491: Say what you want, I won't let you run! (Please subscribe)

When Dai Xiaoyao returned, the afterglow of the sunset had already cast mottled light and shadows on the blue stone floor through the window lattice.

Tang Mother was surprised to find that it was already late, and hurriedly stood up: "If the two young masters don't mind, have a simple meal in this humble house."

"That's fine!" Dai Xiaoyao readily agreed, rolled up his sleeves, and followed into the kitchen, "Godmother, I'll help you."

Li Chen stood in the courtyard, seemingly admiring the mountain scenery in the twilight, but actually thinking about how Dai Xiaoyao would assist.

In Li Chen's view, Tang Mother certainly didn't know that Dai Xiaoyao was planning to offer her to Li Chen.

It was this feeling of being unaware, plus the restraint of a mature woman, that Li Chen liked the most.

Inside the kitchen, Dai Xiaoyao was skillfully processing ingredients.

His movements with the kitchen knife were smooth and flowing, and a piece of beast meat was turned into thin slices like cicada wings in the blink of an eye.

"Xiaoyao's knife skills are not bad; I didn't expect you to know this as a King." Tang Mother praised.

"Where, where, when I was training in the sect before, Shan'er said my knife skills were at a master level." Dai Xiaoyao boasted.

Tang Mother was stir-frying spiritual vegetables in the pot, and asked casually: "This friend of yours is not simple, right?"

The kitchen knife turned a beautiful knife flower at Dai Xiaoyao's fingertips: "Godmother has good eyes; Young Master Li is indeed not an ordinary person."

Tang Mother sprinkled some spices into the pot, and her side face was exceptionally soft in the hazy steam: "He is well-versed in top-quality pill recipes and can see through the arrays here at a glance. I feel his cultivation shouldn't be low? It's really good that you can have such a friend."

The kitchen knife in Dai Xiaoyao's hand paused slightly, and he lowered his voice: "Godmother, to tell you the truth, I don't have the qualifications to be his friend."

"What?" Tang Mother was so shocked that the spatula stopped.

She turned to look at Dai Xiaoyao, her eyes full of disbelief.

Although Star Fall Kingdom was a small country, the dignity of a King could not be underestimated; what kind of person could make Dai Xiaoyao say such things?

Seeing Tang Mother start to be curious and suspicious, Dai Xiaoyao knew she had taken the bait.

In the steaming mist, Dai Xiaoyao's expression was exceptionally serious: "I and Shan'er are like brothers, and godmother's affairs are my affairs. I know you must have difficulties living in seclusion here; I might not be able to help you, but Young Master Li can definitely help you."

Tang Mother sighed lightly, her stir-frying movements slowing down: "Child, you have a kind heart, but in May Tian Ce, some forces, although not very famous, are also unreachable."

She shook her head and didn't say anything more.

It was already very obvious; the forces she offended should be hidden forces.

Those hidden forces all had many Sage Realm experts sitting in town, with sect geniuses gathering and many strong people.

Dai Xiaoyao: "What if I tell you that Young Master Li is the Sage Realm Emperor Li Chen of May Tian Ce?"

With a "clatter," the soup spoon in Tang Mother's hand fell.

Dai Xiaoyao was quick-eyed and caught it just as the handle was about to touch the ground.

This sentence was like a thunderbolt striking Tang Mother's head.

Her legs went soft, and she almost fell to the ground, but luckily she held onto the stove. ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
