Although Yafei felt that the lord’s punishment was child’s play, she did not object since the lord had said it. A lighter punishment was the lord’s love for her, so how could she not appreciate it?
Torress, the sky knight who had recently joined Li Xiang, blinked. He felt that Li Xiang’s punishment was nothing. But he had just joined the Lord of Dawn, so it was inappropriate for him to object.
After all, Yafei was his superior. He would lose his reputation if he asked the Lord of Dawn to increase the punishment. He would also probably be in a difficult situation in the future.
When he thought of Yafei’s berserk appearance when she dealt with Ayer, he immediately felt goosebumps.
“Ahem!”
Li Xiang coughed lightly and once again attracted everyone’s attention. Then, he continued, “Now that Ayer is dead, the matter here has ended. However, many things still need to be dealt with first and last. Therefore, we will stay here for another three days. Let me explain the arrangements!”
Li Xiang quickly explained the thoughts in his mind. For example, he told them what to do with the emperor of the Violet Empire who had escaped, the nobles who had committed many evil deeds, how to settle the people and the poor, and even a large number of slaves.
He proposed his ideas one by one and then put his thoughts together. In the end, he came up with a conclusion and a plan.
It took about two to three hours to finish these chores.
He was physically and mentally tired. Li Xiang waved his hand and said, “Alright, that’s all. You all have your duties. Return to the Myriad World Continent on the morning of the fourth day. Go!”
This time, it wasn’t just the heroes under Li Xiang’s command who went with them. Even Yang Mi and the others had received their respective missions and were happily busy with their work.
For them, sharing Li Xiang’s worries and showing their worth was the most joyous thing.
When they arrived outside, the crowd didn’t disperse immediately. Instead, they were all looking forward to Yafei’s punishment. All of them turned their gazes towards Alicia.
Alicia clenched her teeth and left with a cold face. Yafei followed her confidently, ready to receive her punishment.
Alice smiled and said, “This time, I want to see if Alicia’s cooking skills have improved.”
Even the Demon Mage Commander, Bresse, who was usually the most mature and silent, had followed her quietly.
Alicia’s culinary skills had long been “famous” in the entire Kingdom of Dawn’s upper echelons.
Even though Alicia was generous in her actions, she was slightly nervous seeing so many people following her.
At the same time, she gritted her teeth in her heart. This time, if she prepared this dinner properly, she could reverse everyone’s misunderstanding of her.
During this time, because Yang Mi had given her chef to Li Xiang, Li Xiang had been eating delicious Chinese food that he had not eaten for a long time. From time to time, she would go to the kitchen to secretly learn from the chef.
She did not ask them, nor did she bother anyone.
As a top chef, Wang Tao naturally knew she was Li Xiang’s hero. Although Alicia was a fallen angel, she was silent whenever she came. She did not bother them and only observed them curiously and silently.
Therefore, after observing, Alicia felt that her cooking skills had soared. This time, she was determined to change her image.
In the future, when the lord punished anyone, he could only let Alice do it. The things that she made could only be used as a reward. Not everyone could eat them.
Thinking of this, a trace of eagerness and pride appeared in Alicia’s heart. She did not care much about those who followed behind to watch the show.
After all, this wasn’t the City of Dawn. Alicia could only use the kitchen at the back of the city lord’s mansion to prepare.
However, after entering, Alicia instantly fell into silence.
Although the decoration here wasn’t bad, the kitchen utensils and stoves used were difficult to describe.
Having been used to Chef Chen Tao’s Kitchen, she thought all the kitchens were like that. Now, it seemed that she was ignorant.
If there were one sentence that Alicia could use to describe this kitchen, it would be, “Simple and crude!”
This kind of simple and crude was all about the details.
For example, the knives in the kitchen.
Those knives were like daggers. No matter how sharp they were, they were not easy to use. They were not as good as the large kitchen knives in Chef Chen Tao’s hands.
For example, those pots were either too deep or too shallow.
The plates were all silver. They looked expensive, but compared to the porcelain used in the City of Dawn, they were too simple and crude.
“Sigh. Forget it. I’ll make do with it!”
Alicia felt that her performance would be greatly affected this time, but it was not impossible to operate.
Alicia closed the door as soon as she entered the kitchen, blocking everyone outside.
“The kitchen is the battlefield for chefs. No one is allowed to disturb it. No one is allowed to enter!”
After saying that, she closed the door with a bang.
Initially, Alice wanted to see how Alicia made the food taste so terrible, but now she could only say in disappointment, “Let’s go! That girl will chase us with a sword if we dare to break in now.”
Everyone could not help but laugh.
Yafei asked curiously, “Why did the lord treat sister Alicia’s dinner as a punishment? Is it that bad? But I’m a giant dragon. No matter how bad the food is, it doesn’t matter to me!”
Alice looked at Yafei speechlessly, patted her shoulder lightly, and said, “Some things, no matter what others say, are not as impressive as the first time you experience it yourself. Don’t worry. That girl will be done soon. You’ll know later.”
Mia and Kyla did not believe him either.
As angels, they were also extraordinary species. Their digestive and immune abilities were much stronger than ordinary people in all aspects.
Although Li Xiang had long been extraordinary, the food he ate was typical. It could not be that bad.
Therefore, everyone did not believe that Alicia’s food was terrible. It had always been just that it tasted awful.
However, they did not know that the food Alicia and Alice prepared for each other last time was so terrible that they almost killed each other.
Alice did not want to mention this matter, so she remained silent.
Alice knew that Alicia would go to the kitchen to secretly learn cooking whenever she had time, and Alice even followed her to watch it for a few days.
However, the cooking method of Chinese food was too complicated. Even if it were the same ingredients, the taste would be very different because the order was different.
Moreover, the cooking method of Chinese food was strange and varied. It was challenging to master it. If one did not have some talent, the food they made would taste terrible.
Most importantly, after coming to the Myriad World Continent, Chef Chen Tao discovered that many of the ingredients in this world had evolved from common to unusual ingredients. After some research, he found the dishes could glow, making them look more magical.
That also led to the fact that one would be poisonous if someone did not cook the food properly.
