Chapter 241: Enjoying the Food

The next day.

Northern Europe Joint Cultivation Academy.

Eh, soon it will be renamed the European Joint Academy.

Last night, while Yu Lin and the others were eating, other European countries approached the Northern European nations, insisting on forcing people in.

Given the sincere conditions offered by the countries, they were moved and couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to agree.

At this moment.

As one of the three principals of the cultivation academy, Li Laike was leading Yu Lin and the others around the academy, explaining in a gentle voice:

"In our academy, we currently offer four main cultivation paths: Bishop, Knight, Warrior, and Qi Practitioner."

"There are also some less-commonly transmitted cultivation methods that can still be practiced, such as Greece's Authority Cultivation method and India's ascetic meditation method."

As for them being able to obtain so many cultivation methods.

Yu Lin, however, felt no surprise.

It's nothing more than the various big shots exchanging knowledge and learning from each other, actively swapping cultivation methods, or being moved by interests.

The Xia Guo's top cultivation academy also possesses numerous cultivation methods.

"Please look." Li Laike suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a not-so-distant building that looked very luxurious.

"That is the dormitory arranged for the students who have awakened the Heavenly Authority, not only that..........."

After saying a long series of preferential policies, he gave Bai Xiaoxia and the others a slight smile:

"If you ever have the idea of changing your cultivation location in the future."

"We welcome you to join us at any time!"

"Trying to win over Yu Lin?"

Yu Lin is now a Saint, so he's one of them; there's no need to win him over.

However, they also dare not harshly demand Yu Lin to do anything; even when Francis encounters something, he can only ask Yu Lin to go.

Setting aside his Saint identity, Yu Lin's outward strength is also that of Xia Guo's seventh Void Realm cultivator, and he still possesses the Miracle Authority.

In their eyes, Yu Lin's forehead bore four shining golden characters: "Invincible in the Human World!"

Bai Xiaoxia and the others didn't have that idea either, after all, those who awaken the Heavenly Authority are regarded as national treasures by any country; once awakened, even without cultivation they are a formidable force.

After stepping onto the cultivation path, it becomes an even more powerful means compared to those who haven't awakened.

So the conditions proposed by Li Laike, while tempting for Bai Xiaoxia and the others, are just that.

They straightforwardly refused him.

Li Laike wasn't surprised either; if it were that easy to win them over, Bai Xiaoxia and the others would surely betray them for profit in the future.

Take it slow, no rush.

They continued onward.

Bai Xiaoxia suddenly tugged at Yu Lin's sleeve and pointed ahead:

"Yu Bro, look, that girl called Windsor, the girl beside her is looking at you."

"She's much prettier than Windsor!"

"Huh? Let me look." Yu Lin turned his head in the direction Bai Xiaoxia pointed.

In his line of sight, not far away in a meticulously tended garden, Victoria Windsor, whom he had briefly met yesterday, was sitting with several young men and women on white lounge chairs, seemingly chatting casually.

Looking at the badges on the chests of the others, uniform in style, they were likely her team members.

Their gazes, more or less, carried curiosity and scrutiny as they looked toward Yu Lin and his group.

And the most eye-catching was a girl sitting beside Windsor.

She wore a pale gold dress that shimmered softly in the sunlight; compared to Windsor, she was petite and delicate, her exposed skin so fair it seemed to glow, like fine mutton-fat jade.

She seemed to completely ignore the two young men obviously fawning over her beside her, her clear eyes fixed unblinkingly on Yu Lin.

Until their gazes met in the air, the faint polite smile on her face, like melting ice and snow, instantly turned into a genuine, radiant, dazzling smile, as if all the flowers in the garden were blooming at that moment.

At the same time, a voice tinged with playfulness and nostalgia, audible only to Yu Lin, sounded directly in his ear:

"Yu Lin, long time no see."

"I miss your cooking."

It turned out to be Shi Koudi.

Although for Yu Lin it had only been a little over a month since they parted, for Shi Koudi their separation had lasted at least a thousand years.

Yu Lin's lips curled up slightly.

His voice likewise reached her ear precisely:

"Then bring the ingredients and come find me tonight."

Their silent exchange and the instant bloom of their smiles naturally fell into the eyes of the people around them.

Windsor and her teammates all showed looks of surprise, secretly wondering if they knew each other.

Especially the two men who had been fawning over Shi Koudi instantly became displeased, thinking, "Why, after sucking up to the goddess for so long, she pays them no mind, but this guy shows up and steals her gaze?"

They wanted to see what was going on... oh, it turns out he's a Saint.

Then it's fine.

They were very tactful, and almost in unison performed a standard Christian salute toward Yu Lin, then silently and without a trace shifted their steps, moving somewhat away from Shi Koudi, fully demonstrating what it means to "read the room."

As nobles, or rather new-era nobles, they clearly knew who could be provoked and who could not; even those who could be provoked were best left alone, for who knows who backs him?

Because nobles who have been stripped of their title for such reasons are not few.

Better to be cautious.

Yu Lin didn't mind, merely thinking, "Since Shi Koudi has come, what about Loki?"

Could this guy really have died in the Twilight of the Gods?

Later, we'll see if there's a chance to help out.

He shook his head, stopped thinking further, and instead walked on, leaving this place.

Until Shi Koudi's gaze from behind was blocked by the building and vanished.

They arrived at the cafeteria.

An elegantly decorated, private dining room.

He personally seated Yu Lin and the others, his attitude attentive and thorough:

"Please take a seat; lunch will be served shortly. I hope it suits your taste."

Having said that, he instructed the waiter to bring lunch.

Soon after.

The door to the private room was gently knocked.

Soon after, several waiters in clean uniforms pushed in several food carts draped with white tablecloths.

Their movements were precise, faces smiling, as Yu Lin and the others watched curiously and expectantly, they smoothly lifted the silver dome covers from the plates.

In an instant, there was indeed a fragrance, and it was very fragrant, making Bai Xiaoxia and the others eagerly anticipate........

The next moment.

"The so-called 'delicacy' that met everyone's eyes instantly froze Bai Xiaoxia's expectant expression, twitched Qin Zhao's mouth slightly, and even the usually composed ZhouYi and PengYu instinctively leaned back."

First to appear was a sausage dish.

It was indeed some kind of animal intestine that looked weathered, stuffed plump, presenting a dull gray appearance with irregular bumps, lying unconstrained on the plate, accompanied by a small mound of dull-colored mashed potatoes.

Next came a dish of 'eel jelly'.

In the semi-translucent, wobbly light-brown meat jelly, several segments of cooked, curled, grayish-white eel with skin were clearly visible, solidified in the gelatin, as if telling a cold, silent story from the depths of the Thames River.

Another dish was a 'black pudding platter'.

Several thick slices of blood sausage, black as charcoal, mixed with visible white fat granules and some grain particles, were carefully arranged on a porcelain plate, accompanied by several overly soft boiled peas and a small piece of dried-looking roasted tomato.

Finally, the highlight was a bowl of 'Stilton blue-veined cheese and leek soup'.

The thick soup showed a gray-green hue, with a few oil droplets floating on the surface, but the most striking was the pungent aroma that hit the face—a complex blend of rich milky odor, fermented spiciness, and the distinctive scent of leeks.

"Is this called gourmet food?"

Back kitchen.

The man holding a spatula and wearing a chef's coat, seeing Yu Lin and the others grimacing at the food before them, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of pride:

"I told you, I'd make you wait."
