2576 He Should Eat Their Fill!
The members of the Astronomical Parliament did not only use the Thoughts Letter Paper to discuss matters related to development.
The more they communicated with each other, the more familiar they became with each other. By now, they were all friends.
If the Thoughts Letter Paper was seen as a work group chat, it would come off as unprofessional.
Lin Yuan and Wen Yu had talked about this in the past.
It did not take up much of Wen Yu’s resources to communicate through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
The members of the Astronomical Parliament were as close as old friends, which was exactly what Lin Yuan and Wen Yu had hoped for.
At that time, Wen Yu had told Lin Yuan seriously that she never wanted the Astronomical Parliament to become a cold and unfeeling faction if it was to be pa.s.sed down as a legacy.
The Astronomical Parliament was one of Sky City’s main branch factions.
As Wen Yu said this, she thought back to the time when she, Lin Yuan, and Liu Jie had been sitting on a patch of gra.s.s, and Lin Yuan had brought up the idea of building a faction.
The young man from that time was now a hegemon in his own right, but his heart and intentions had never changed.
Every time someone from the Astronomical Parliament talked about delicacies, Bei Xu could only read quietly and swallow his saliva in envy.
There was nothing delicious in the Grotto Continent for Bei Xu. The only source of edible sodium was slightly toxic minerals that contained salt, or insect flesh, which contained protein and sodium and was considered a top delicacy in the Grotto Continent.
Back when Bei Xu was still a stone insect, his diet mainly consisted of a special viscous mineral. It could fill his stomach, and the fungi within it provided him with some energy. However, overconsumption would cause his intestines to become inflamed.
After consuming the viscous mineral daily for decades, numerous stone insects died from perforated intestines.
Before he met Lin Yuan, Bei Xu did not have the means or authority to change his circ.u.mstances. He had no other choice but to consume the viscous mineral that also harmed his body.
As a stone insect that did not even have control over his own life, eating the viscous mineral was a daily reward and blessing.
When he got to eat insect meat, his happiness exploded.
However, the happiness did not last long before he was stupefied by the food that Yin Lin talked about.
Who knew that the world had so many flavors and ways of cooking?
This mystified Bei Xu.
Alas, most of the ingredients needed to cook such delicacies did not exist in the Grotto Continent.
Roasting insect flesh could elevate the flavor, but the juices that dried up and evaporated would cause the insect flesh to lose its sodium and nutrients. This was a waste of resources, so Bei Xu could not bear to continue roasting the insect flesh after doing so a few times.
Bei Xu had been used to hunger since a young age, so when he obtained the Diamond fey storage box from Lin Yuan, he became a h.o.a.rder. He especially liked storing extra insect meat in the Diamond fey storage box, which could preserve freshness. This was to ensure that he would never have to go hungry again.
While the butler was torturing Bei Xu, he and the other blood zombies were given no food. They were all too afraid to show that they were hungry, knowing that the butler would likely feed them their own flesh if they did.
The butler was a cruel man who had no qualms about using such methods, so it was no wonder that the stomachs of Bei Xu and the other blood zombies started to rumble before Lin Yuan could even take out the food he had mentioned.
Lin Yuan had stored up a collection of food that Liu Jie had cooked, some of which had also been sent to him by Uncle Li and Auntie Zhang when he was last at the Radiance Federation. All of it was of Kitchen Fragrance Palace’s standard, making it the most delicious food that could be found in the Grotto Continent.
Lin Yuan knew that Bei Xu had never eaten such food before, so he intentionally took out some of his favorites and those that were more special. He served Potted Meat, Sweet Vinegar Ribs, Tomato Prawn, Seafood Grill, Specialty Roasted Meat, and desserts that were part of the 360 Dishes.
Lin Yuan believed this would be enough for regular appet.i.tes, but he soon realized that he was sitting in front of four voracious appet.i.tes.
Wait, his sister’s appet.i.te was nothing to scoff at, either! This made for four and a half voracious appet.i.tes!
When he saw that all of the plates had been cleared, Lin Yuan quickly took out another spread. This time, it was steamed fish, spicy stir-fried chicken, mushroom beef, fried chicken wings…
Spirit qi professionals would not ruin their bodies even if they overate. All they needed to do was circulate the spiritual power in their bodies to quickly break down the food into energy.
Lin Yuan wanted Bei Xu to eat as much as he wanted. This was one way of comforting this poor boy who had just walked through h.e.l.l. He deserved to eat his fill!
Lin Yuan did not notice that the food he first took out was mainly sweet, sour, and fragrant. But the next batch of dishes was mainly refres.h.i.+ng and spicy.
With the clash of the two spectrums of flavors, Bei Xu felt as though he had entered heaven. He never knew that eating could be so enjoyable!
He felt as though his eyes were being opened for the first time!
But this also allowed him to know just how impoverished the world he came from was. It was likely that not even the elites from Sky Bearer City had ever eaten such delectable food.
It was likely that such food could only be found on the surface.
Bei Xu was right about this, but not fully.
It was not easy for factions from the surface to gain access to such food either.
As Bei Xu continued to eat, his eyes began watering. He found it difficult to suppress his grat.i.tude and admiration for Lin Yuan.
He already knew that his life had taken a drastically different direction.
Although he had gained many family members from the Astronomical Parliament, he had to fight on his own in real life.
But now, he finally had a loved one and a companion.
When he saw that there was only one fried chicken wing left and that Chu Ci was clearly partial toward them, Bei Xu hurriedly pulled back his chopsticks.
When Chu Ci saw this, she immediately placed the fried chicken wing in Bei Xu’s bowl and said, “Big Brother Bei Xu, you have it! Lin Yuan still has a lot of other yummy food!”
By now, Lin Yuan felt that the words ‘voracious appet.i.te’ were an understatement when used to describe Bei Xu the rest.
The four of them were bottomless pits! Wait, throwing Chu Ci in meant that there were 4.01 bottomless pits!
Lin Yuan hurriedly took out more dishes.
Once they were done with their meal and Wen Yu was pouring out Three Treasures Tea, someone knocked on the door.
