At that moment, it hit Gao Feng again how thorough Lin Yuan was.

Gao Feng was a sensitive person. He wanted to drag Lin Yuan away immediately to have a few cups of wine, but he was unsure if Lin Yuan wanted to participate in the competitions. Hence, he gave up on the inclination to drink.

Instead, he picked up a snack from the tea tray and bit into the soft confection.

His mouth was flooded with a deliciously sweet and sour taste.

Gao Feng felt as though he had been transported to another world as he exclaimed excitedly, “These snacks are so yummy! It looks like something that’s made at the Spirit Food Pavilion, but it tastes so much better!”

The group had been busy talking from the moment they sat down and had not had time to eat.

But after hearing Gao Feng’s exclamation, the group picked up a piece of the snack that Gao Feng had complimented.

When Lin Yuan bit into it, he felt as though an entire lychee grove had exploded in his mouth, and every tooth in his mouth had become a lychee tree.

His saliva flowed continuously, spurred on by the sweetness and sourness.

But as delicious as it was, it did not impress Lin Yuan to a great extent.

Due to his connection to Auntie Zhang and Uncle Li, Lin Yuan had been eating Kitchen Fragrance Palace quality food ever since he was young.

The secret recipes of Kitchen Fragrance Palace could not be compared to the dishes made by the Kitchen Fragrance Pavilion.

As difficult as those days had been, Lin Yuan’s palate had been significantly elevated by Uncle Li’s cooking skills.

Afterward, Lin Yuan had moved on to eat Liu Jie’s cooking. Now that he was accustomed to Liu Jie’s cooking, Lin Yuan did not find anything special about the Spirit Food Pavilion’s food.

Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Sun Ningxiang all found the snack to be delicious.

Although the three of them had already had dinner, this snack had whetted their appetites anew.

“The Kitchen Fragrance Palace made all the refreshments in the Guard Ye Banquet after Lord Chef Supreme arrived at the Midnight Palace. Otherwise, Chief Guard Ye had not intended on serving snacks at all. She had only prepared some fruits. The snack you guys just ate is called Lychee Husband,” explained Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan did not think anything of Liu Jie’s explanation until he heard the name Lychee Husband and he raised his eyebrow.

He found the name strange.

Gao Feng continued to pop Lychee Husbands into his mouth as he looked at Liu Jie curiously.

Liu Jie coughed and said, “Before I came, Master allowed me to look at the itinerary for the Guard Ye Banquet. I also got to take a look at the list of refreshments. Apparently, red lychees from Platinum Crystal Clear Lychee trees were used to make these Lychee Husbands.

“The red lychees are dried over a strange flame then marinated in the sap of the Crystal Clear Lychee tree for a year before it’s used as filling in the Lychee Husbands. Rumor has it that Lord Chef Supreme’s only daughter was the one who named this snack. She felt that the sweet and sour taste was like a kiss from a husband, and the softness of the wrapping is to represent the tenderness of the moment.”

Lin Yuan thought back to Auntie Zhang, who would bring the Terror Rabbit along with her every day as she did laundry.

He did not expect her to be such a romantic when she was young.

Gao Feng’s hand halted as it was about to place another Lychee Husband in his mouth, and a strange feeling came over him.

It was no secret that Chef Supreme’s only daughter had married his first disciple.

Since he had eaten about ten pieces of Lychee Husbands, did that mean that he had kissed Chef Supreme’s first disciple about ten times?

All of a sudden, Gao Feng lost all appetite for this snack.

When he thought about how his father was forcing him to participate in the Martial Stage, Gao Feng felt that he led an extremely difficult life.

He looked at Lin Yuan and lamented, “Are any of you participating in the Martial Stage? At least, I’ll be able to surrender if I face off against any of you.”

Gao Feng knew that besides him, every person who stepped onto the Martial Stage wanted to show off their power.

He would only be in for a beating if he participated in the Martial Stage.

There was one rule to the Martial Stage that Gao Feng simply did not understand, which was that the person who wanted to surrender could only truly admit defeat with the victor’s agreement.

Otherwise, the fight would have to go on until the emergency helper stepped in.

This was too disadvantageous for Gao Feng!

Luckily, one was completely out of the Guard Ye Banquet’s competitions after a single loss.

This meant that Gao Feng only needed to endure one beating.

“I’m participating in the Martial Arts Stage while the Young Liege is participating in the Martial Stage,” said Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan spoke naturally, but Liu Jie’s expression turned into one of embarrassed shock.

Liu Jie never expected that the day would come where Lin Yuan would address him as Young Liege.

On the other hand, if Lin Yuan called him by any other name while he wore this mask, it would expose his identity.

Liu Jie hastily coughed and said, “I’m not a Creation Master, so I’m participating in the Martial Stage.”

“I want to see if the prize for the Arts Stage will be announced before the competitions begin. If the prize for the Arts Stage is decent, I’ll participate in that instead of the Martial Arts Stage,” said Long Tao.

While Long Tao was speaking, his gaze remained solemn.

He understood that the Guard Ye Banquet was not his chance to prove his power to the other disciples of top factions.

Although he was Sequence #3 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, he continued to hide his power.

If those two people were serious, there was no chance of him lasting more than a minute.

Since he had had the chance to fight against them at the Radiance Sacred Hall, the proud Long Tao had truly realized that there were always more powerful people somewhere.

It had been announced in advance that the prize for the Martial Arts Stage was a sacred source lifeform, but the prizes for the Arts Stage and Martial Stage had yet to be announced.

Hence, Long Tao decided to hold off his decision until he saw the prizes.

“The prize for the Arts Stage is a recently hatched Island Whale while the prize for the Martial Stage is the opportunity to receive a custom-made weapon from Lord Bamboo Monarch,” said Liu Jie.

Liu Jie left out that the prize for the Martial Arts Stage was also an Order of Radiant Light.
