Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2594: Chapter 72: Divine Capital Luojing

Of course, the Transcendent Void Realm is not without its value and holds a certain status in Luojing, but the prestige of the Immortal Welcoming Building is indeed quite high.

As they were speaking.

The servers inside the building had already started serving the dishes.

The first dish was a large plate of Level Eleven [Fried Luan Tongue]. The Luan bird sings beautifully, and its tongue is tender and springy. When it is shredded and stir-fried with Immortal Spirit Pepper, it becomes incredibly tasty and chewy, making it one of the signature dishes of the Immortal Welcoming Building.

Of course, the tongue of a Level Eleven Luan is quite large; it’s hard to say how many plates it can make.

“Delicious, delicious~~!” Wang Licui couldn’t help but take several more bites after tasting it once, eating with her eyes lit up, exclaiming, “Where’s the rice? Where’s the egg fried rice I ordered?”

Upon hearing this, another envoy hurriedly brought over a plate of egg fried rice. The rice used was the legendary Eighth Grade Spirit Rice—[Jade Pure Sacred Rice], and the egg was from a Level Eleven Phoenix. The egg liquid wrapped the rice, making it truly golden fried rice.

But this seemingly ordinary “egg fried rice” truly cost an exorbitant price, with each bowl costing as much as three top-quality Spirit Stones.

As one exquisite dish after another was served, everyone savored them joyously, thoroughly delighted. Only Sacred Supreme Yunhai displayed a hint of heartache.

Fortunately, he had managed to gather enough resources back at the Primordial Taoist Palace, so he could afford such a meal.

However, Lici ate quite a lot. Someone like Si Wuyou, a True Immortal Seed in the Void Realm, could get full after one bowl of egg fried rice made from Eighth Grade Spirit Rice. Even a child with devouring bloodline like Lan Wanyi only needed three bowls to be satisfied.

But Wang Licui had already eaten more than a dozen bowls with no sign of stopping.

“Lici, just take a taste, and then try some other dishes,” Sacred Supreme Yunhai wiped the cold sweat off his brow. “I brought you here to the Immortal Welcoming Building to broaden your horizons, not to fill your stomach.”

If she continued eating like this, not even an Immortal Spirit Stone could cover today’s meal. If they ate like this every day, in two years, he would have to start selling his property to survive.

Only then did Lici put down her chopsticks, licking her lips and saying, “Master, I’m almost full.”

Seeing this, Sacred Supreme Cloud Peng felt a bit guilty. Alas, it’s his fault for being so poor that he couldn’t let his disciple eat to her heart’s content.

“Master,” Wang Licui suddenly noticed the servers bringing the dishes and couldn’t help but be curious, “Why do these servers all have wings? The men are quite handsome, and the women are very beautiful, but their eye colors are so diverse, making them look very special.”

“Are you talking about them?” Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme followed her gaze and, in an instant, understood, “They are the exiled race known as the [Winged Human Tribe].”

He explained, “In the ancient era where hundreds of races stood, the Winged Human Tribe was also considered an overlord-level race. However, they have declined now and can only settle in various places on a small scale. They no longer have their own country, and the resources within their tribe are scarce. To cultivate and live, they have to work outside. But because they are generally exquisite and the men are handsome while the women are beautiful, they are often retained as servants by major families.”

“If they were once so strong, why have they fallen now?” Wang Licui asked curiously, “I see many of them have cultivation bases at the Purple Abode Realm, even Divine Mastery Realm Level.”

“What do you think?” Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme looked at her with a half-smile.

“Could it be that our Human Race did this?” Wang Licui’s eyes widened in shock.

“Resources are limited, especially natural resources, which will only diminish,” Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme said matter-of-factly. “If you eat one more bite, I eat one less. Each race has to compete to survive. The struggle for survival, the struggle of the races have always been the most brutal. Once you fail, you sink forever, unable to rise again.”

“The stable lives and vast lands we humans enjoy now were fought for by our ancestors. If they had lost back then, our situation wouldn’t be much better than the Winged Human Tribe. You young people must remember this; don’t become arrogant or complacent with a little success.”

“Duly noted, Sacred Supreme,” Si Wuchou replied with a look of having learned a lesson, and even the two servant girls, Dumpling and Baozi, nodded solemnly.

However, Wang Licui and Lan Wanyi only nodded in realization, without much reaction.

Compared to Si Wuchou and others who hadn’t experienced war, they had both been on the battlefield, fought against the Demonic Clan, and had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of racial struggles. As a result, they were much calmer than those like Si Wuchou, who were older.

“Wow, that Winged Human Tribe beauty is going on stage to perform,” Wang Licui suddenly looked towards the stage in delight, “Her hair is golden, and huh? Isn’t she wearing high heels and stockings? Although the material is a bit different, the shape and effect are generally the same.”

Saying this, Wang Licui couldn’t help but fall into thought.

This Winged Human Tribe beauty seemed to fit Fourth Uncle’s taste—fair skin, beautiful face, twin ponytails, and very long legs…

When Little Snow first came to their clan and constructed her humanoid form with Fourth Brother’s help, everyone suspected that Little Snow’s image was based on Fourth Uncle’s first love. After all, the appearance was so different from what everyone else knew that it couldn’t have been imagined without having seen it firsthand.

But they searched everywhere they could and never found such a woman, so they had to leave it unexplained.

Over time, the source of Little Snow’s image became one of the “Ten Unsolved Mysteries” of the Wang Family.

But now, the mystery seemed to have been solved.

Wang Licui nodded silently, the more she thought, the more she felt her reasoning was correct.

Fourth Uncle must have come to [Divine Capital Luojing] in his past life, or simply lived here, and for some reason reincarnated into the Changning Wang Clan under the influence of the Cycle River. Because of this, the fragments of his memory included things like stockings and high heels.

And within the fragments of his memory, there probably remained his lingering aesthetic preference.

Looking at the Winged Human beauty performing on stage, Wang Licui couldn’t help but murmur to herself, “Even the Cycle River couldn’t wash away Fourth Uncle’s obsession. He must really like this type. Should I buy her and present her to Fourth Uncle as a servant?”

Without much effort, she already imagined Fourth Uncle’s reaction in her mind.

Fourth Uncle would surely say, “Big girl, how can you falsely accuse me of impropriety?” But while saying “no, no,” he would happily accept~~
