BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 - 141: Sincerity
“No need. I’ll appear more sincere if I handle the mailing myself,” Liao Ning firmly rejected Jin Xiang’s suggestion. She had decided to personally mail the tempura. With the assistance of the robot butler, she would carefully pack the delicacy, ensuring it reached its recipients in perfect condition.
While the netizens continued their lively discussion about the tempura in the live-stream, Liao Ning swiftly and discreetly packed the tempura, handing it over to the robot butler. Seizing the moment when the netizens were momentarily distracted, she promptly ended the live-stream, leaving no opportunity for further interaction.
Confronted with the sudden black screen, the netizens knew that Liao Ning had once again discreetly ended the live-stream. They wanted to express their frustrations and question her actions, but with the live-stream turned off and no online blog to reach out to, they were left without a platform to voice their inquiries.
What? You mentioned being able to send Liao Ning private messages on the live-stream platform? That was just a joke. To safeguard the live-streamer’s mental well-being, the private messaging function could only be used during live-streams. By the time Liao Ning’s next session came around, everyone would be engrossed in learning how to cook and would likely forget about it.
Liao Ning turned to the apprentices who had already tasted the tempura and asked, “How was it? Have you learned the art of making tempura today? Any questions?
The apprentices shook their heads, indicating that they had no further inquiries.
“Great, let’s proceed to the tasting. Teacher Yu Ni and I will be the judges,” Liao Ning nodded.
Many of the apprentices were avid enthusiasts of ancient food culture, just like Ning Ling, so they were ecstatic to receive personal guidance from the champion of the Interstellar Alliance Food Competition. When Liao Ning gave the instructions, they immediately assumed their roles and began the tasting session.
Observing the students’ enthusiasm, Yu Ni whispered in Liao Ning’s ear, “I think you should come and guide them more often. Look at how enthusiastic they are!”
“No, no. I still have to take care of my baby at home. I’m grateful to have you here!” Liao Ning quickly waved her hand, declining the suggestion.
“Alright, don’t blame me if I don’t meet your expectations. After all, I only placed third in the competition. I can’t compare to you, the champion, when it comes to cooking!” Yu Ni knew Liao Ning preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, she would have gladly paid a considerable sum to have her teach the apprentices
Liao Ning quickly rubbed her shoulders. “No, no. You’ve worked hard, Teacher Yu Ni! You and Lin Wan are the backbone of our hotel. You’re much better than me, an investor who tends to slack off!”
“Your Highness, the king requests your presence.” The maid bowed respectfully to the elegant woman engrossed in reading in the garden.
“Understood.” The woman casually waved her hand. After finishing the book, she stood up and made her way to the king’s chambers.
This beautiful woman was none other than the late ‘Zhu Fei’. However, she had already undergone plastic surgery, completely changing her appearance and even her demeanor, becoming a completely different person.
She now went by the name ‘Princess Loya’ of the empire’s ‘Dawn’ faction. As the beloved daughter of the emperor, she was adored by the people as a connoisseur of fine cuisine. Through the use of ancient delicacies, she alleviated the suffering caused by mental disorders among the population. Particularly among the lower-income commoners, she garnered the most support.
The reason was simple. Through her weekly Al live-streams, she taught the masses how to prepare affordable delicacies, saving them the expense of purchasing mental strength potions. This allowed them to escape the cycle of poverty that came with buying mental strength potions every month, significantly improving their quality of life.
Loya respectfully bowed to the emperor seated on the throne. “Your Majesty.” The king smiled and urged her not to be overly formal. “My dear daughter, why
do you still address your father as ‘Your Majesty’?”
Loya dutifully amended her address. “Dear Father, what brings you to seek me
The king nodded in satisfaction and smiled. “The queen is concerned about what you’ve endured on that forsaken planet all these years. She intends to host a grand banquet at the palace in three days, inviting numerous noble ladies and young masters, in hopes of bringing you joy.”
“Mother is incredibly kind to me. I will make sure to prepare well.” Loya’s expression displayed surprise and excitement, yet she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of melancholy.
Loya knew that the queen, but the queen did not know the truth. She really believed that she was her long-lost daughter. From the day she faked her death and left the alliance to return to the empire, the queen had wanted to make it up to her wholeheartedly. She had found ways to get people to find interesting things for her in the empire, and the best things for her to eat and wear..
