This peach blossom porridge is truly delicious!

The old man has lived this long and still it's the first time he's eaten porridge with such a sweet, sticky texture that isn't cloying.

Tai Bai Jin Xing swallowed a mouthful, his face full of intoxication.

Haotian let out a heh, slightly disdainful: "Look at your little bit of promise."

"Is there anything Chef Chen makes that isn't the best we've ever eaten?"

"What Your Majesty says is correct."

Tai Bai Jin Xing hehe laughed, nodded in agreement.

Being able to drink half a bowl of porridge is all thanks to Your Majesty's Divine Favor; whatever Your Majesty says is right, and indeed, the facts are exactly so!

Getting it for free while also being able to eat Chef Chen's dishes is simply too satisfying!

Tai Bai Jin Xing tilted his head back and gulped down the remaining peach blossom porridge in one mouthful.

"Haotian"

Tai Bai Jin Xing was just about to belch when he was violently startled back by a woman's angry shout.

Haotian too, the peach blossom brew in his hand nearly slipped and fell to the ground.

The two lifted their heads, focused their gaze, and a palace-clad woman with a mighty aura came into view—it was Yaochi!

Tai Bai Jin Xing hurriedly rose and performed a great bow: "Wèichén pays respects to Sanniang."

"Yaochi, how did you come here?"

Haotian was somewhat surprised: "Shouldn't it be mealtime now? How do you have the leisure to come here?" Yaochi showed no courtesy, directly getting to the point: "Haotian, where is my porridge?"

Looking at Yaochi's outstretched hand, Haotian was somewhat confused: "What porridge?"

"Is my peach blossom porridge not with you?"

Seeing Haotian and her exchanging evasive glances, Yaochi's phoenix eyes flared, her aura began to spread, carrying a chilling chill.

"What do you mean 'your peach blossom porridge'? I do have peach blossom porridge, no doubt, but that was given by Chef Chen..."

Haotian was about to retort instinctively, but halfway through his words he suddenly stopped.

A vague unease arose in his heart—could Chef Chen really have done such a thing? He had never seen Chef Chen fawn over his customers!

Could it be? Haotian's heart suddenly entertained a possibility.

Impossible, impossible!

Haotian hadn't even finished thinking before he secretly shook his head.

"The peach blossom porridge I ordered wasn't in the packaging."

Yaochi said coldly.

"Perhaps Chef Chen just forgot to pack it for you?"

Haotian's eyes darted, and he casually remarked.

"Impossible."

"Then tell me, what else did you order?"

Haotian was still making his final struggle.

"I ordered fragrant crispy fried chicken, peach blossom porridge, five jars of peach blossom brew, one cup of peach juice, and one cup of freshly squeezed peach juice."

Yaochi showed no hesitation.

And when Haotian heard the first item—fragrant crispy fried chicken—his head buzzed.

Done for!

This cause and effect is too clear!

Haotian gave an embarrassed laugh: "Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding."

Immediately, he pointed at Tai Bai Jin Xing, turning the blame: "This meal was taken by Tai Bai; he grabbed the wrong one!

I clearly ordered it in front of him earlier."

But Haotian's attempt to shift the blame utterly failed.

"Bring me my peach blossom porridge."

Yaochi shook her outstretched hand again.

She didn't care who made the mistake; she just wanted her peach blossom porridge.

Upon these words, Haotian grew more embarrassed: "Peach blossom porridge... I... drank it."

"Drank it?"

Yaochi's willow eyebrows stood upright, she seemed ready to attack at the slightest disagreement.

She had rushed over immediately, only to be told he had drunk it—"though Tai Bai Jin Xing also drank half."

Haotian's heart jumped, and he hastily added a supplement.

At least let there be something to back me up.

Proclamation of amazement!

Tai Bai Jin Xing nearly cursed aloud, heart full of regret and tears, this Majesty selling him out so decisively!

Seeing Yaochi's frost-covered face, Tai Bai Jin Xing hesitated not at all, hurriedly bowed his head to the ground, crying: "Sanniang, spare my life!

Wèichén was merely momentarily careless, truly didn't know this porridge was yours, Sanniang."

Had he known, even given eight guts, he wouldn't dare take a sip!

Tai Bai Jin Xing's face wore a painful expression, Majesty has wronged me!

In just a few words, he actually thought this porridge was a gift from Chef Chen!

Now it's fine—half a belly of porridge down, he can't wash clean even in death!

Yaochi originally intended to punish severely, but seeing Tai Bai's kind and approachable face, she couldn't bring herself to impose a heavy penalty.

"Speak, how should we handle this?"

Walking to a high place, Yaochi turned her body and coldly looked at the two of them.

Haotian knew he was in the wrong, and didn't dare confront directly, he pondered for a moment and said: "How about, I give you a Golden Immortal-level magic treasure?"

His food prices are just Golden Immortal-level magic treasures,

So coming here is equivalent to spending money to buy another portion, really.

"You think beautifully, is that something you can buy just because you want to today?"

Yaochi denied without hesitation.

The regulations of Chaos Residence allow only one dish per day, this Peach Blossom Porridge is her Crown VIP privilege, this meaning is not as simple as just a bowl of porridge.

Haotian hesitated: "How about a Taiyi Golden Immortal City magic treasure?"

"No need"

Yaochi directly refused, she is the Queen Mother, her status is noble, would she lack such a magic treasure? Who does she look down on? "A Great Luo Golden Immortal-level one, don't be too excessive"

Haotian also got a little angry, he has already made a big concession!

Great Luo Golden Immortal? Yaochi murmured, but her heart still had no joy, this thing she also doesn't lack.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Haotian's takeout, when she saw the unopened Fragrant Crispy Fried Chicken, her eyes suddenly brightened a bit.

"Like this, give me your takeout, and I will let bygones be bygones, - how about it?"

Yaochi spoke softly.

"No way"

Haotian shook his head repeatedly, like protecting a calf, he hid his takeout behind him.

This is absolutely impossible, how can a magic treasure compare to takeout? The things made by Shopkeeper Chen, every bite is ultimate enjoyment, compared to that, magic treasures he mainly uses are just a few, the rest, no matter how many, are useless, the importance is clear at a glance.

He would rather give magic treasures!

Seeing Haotian's attitude so firm, Yaochi had a sudden inspiration, she activated the Boundary Intent Dry Color Divine Ability.

Originally carrying a bit of haughty peerless appearance gradually revealed a bit of sorrow, her two willow eyebrows slightly furrowed.

But it just happened to touch Haotian's heart, for no reason, there was just a kind of inexplicable empathy.

Hit!

"Yaochi, what's wrong with you?"

Haotian couldn't help but become concerned.

With a soft sigh, Yaochi spoke softly: "Because my Peach Blossom Porridge is gone, I am reminiscing"

As soon as the words fell, Haotian's heart instantly rose with a strong sense of guilt, even Tai Bai Jin Xing is no exception.

After all, this Peach Blossom Porridge was half drunk by each of them!

"Sorry, what should I do for you to feel better?"

Haotian with a face of apology, had already unknowingly been completely brought into this emotion.

Of course it's giving me your takeout!

Yaochi complained in her heart, but rationally she did not act so impulsively.

"If I can get a portion of your takeout, I will be fine"

In secret, Yaochi's eyes flashed a trace of cunning, but on the surface she still remained that sorrowful face.

After Haotian heard this sentence, his face strangely showed a bit of struggle... this scene startled Yaochi, but then Haotian returned to his previous apologetic expression.

"Okay"

Haotian nodded, this matter is indeed him being too excessive.

But just... just don't know why, he always feels a bit of flesh pain!
