Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 175 The Beastman World 12

That day, Chen Jingjing said at Lin Xiaoqian's restaurant that not many people knew about the fact that stinky tofu sauce had the effect of calming the frenzy of orcs, and not many people believed it.

Since no authoritative institution has conducted experiments to verify it, it's hard for people to believe such a thing based on just a statement.

Moreover, the riots that day happened very suddenly, and no one recorded the incident.

So even though the restaurant is still bustling, only a few stinky tofu lovers come to try it.

The guests ate stinky tofu and chatted with each other.

Suddenly, a guest exclaimed, "Wow! Look! The official media of the Royal College of Medicine just released a news item! It's about a unique stinky tofu video."

The companion next to him leaned closer: "What?"

"It says that, according to experimental evidence, that unique video has the effect of calming manic-depressive disorder, and it is recommended that all beastmen on the planet watch it every day as a substitute for taking suppressants!"

His companion looked on incredulously: "An alternative to inhibitors? Really? You're not seeing things, are you?"

The guest checked repeatedly and said decisively, "I've confirmed it; it really is the official media of the Royal Medical Academy."

His companion scratched his head, wondering, "Could it be that my account was hacked?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the customers in the shop heard footsteps coming from outside.

A group of tall orcs, men and women, carrying swords and dressed in white and gold uniforms, walked neatly to the restaurant entrance and stood in two straight lines on either side of the restaurant.

The customers in the shop stared wide-eyed and exclaimed excitedly, "That's... the Royal Guard!"

"The Royal Guard only stays with the King, how come they're here?"

"Are you stupid? It means the king is here."

"Don't joke around. Apart from appearing on the big screen during the annual Festival of Grace, you can't see the King at all."

The next second, a glittering golden flying car descended from the sky and came to a steady stop in front of the restaurant.

The car door opened, and an elderly man in a white robe stepped out first.

The customers in the shop chattered: "Is that a palace eunuch?"

"I think so. I think I saw him behind the king."

The old man strode into the restaurant and gave a humble smile to the silent guests watching him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the royal family has an important matter to attend to today and has booked the entire restaurant. All your expenses for today will be charged to the royal family's account."

The guests were taken aback at first, then burst into cheers.

Although it was a bit of a shame that we couldn't continue dining, being treated to the royal family paying the bill was a pleasant surprise.

The old man nodded slightly, then clapped his hands and said, "Now please leave the restaurant as soon as possible."

The guests got up one after another, and as they walked out, they discussed curiously what had happened.

After all the guests left, before Lin Xiaoqian and the others could do anything, a group of eunuchs came in and began cleaning the restaurant.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoqian inexplicably recalled the noble lady she had met in the magical world before. Every time she came to the restaurant, she would clear the place out and clean it spotlessly.

The old man walked up to Lin Xiaoqian and the others, bowed, and said, "Greetings, everyone. I am the chief minister of the royal family, and my surname is Feng."

After introducing himself, Manager Feng greeted Lin Xiaoqian with a respectful smile, saying, "You must be the chef who makes this stinky tofu dish, right?"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded slightly and said, "It's me."

Chief Steward Feng said with a kind smile, "His Majesty wishes to see you."

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoqian blinked and turned to look at Jiang Shuang and the others.

The group exchanged whispers, all guessing that the royal visit was probably related to the fact that stinky tofu could cure the orcs' manic disorder.

After all, they had just heard a guest say that the Royal College of Physicians had issued a statement on official media regarding the stinky tofu video.

Lin Xiaoqian said somewhat nervously, "Oh, okay. Um... am I... going to the palace with you?"

Eunuch Feng shook his head slightly. "His Majesty has come in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuchs who had been cleaning the restaurant had already cleaned it spotlessly and left the restaurant in an orderly fashion.

Soon, an old man wearing a crown, with white hair and a golden cloak, stepped out of the flying car at the entrance. This man was none other than Leo.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Leo slowly entered the restaurant.

His gaze was majestic and profound. After sweeping over Jiang Shuang and Zhuang Damao, it landed on Lin Xiaoqian, his sharp eyes seeming to see right through her.

Lin Xiaoqian and his companions had traveled through several worlds together, and this was their first time dealing with the royal family of this small world, which could be considered a diplomatic occasion.

Liao Zhuang transmitted his voice, saying, "This king has quite a powerful aura."

Zhuang Damao responded, "Yes, his eyes are so sharp, as if he can see through people's hearts, just like a lion."

Jiang Shuang: "That's normal. It's said that the King of the Orcs has been king for over a hundred years. He must be very resourceful and wise."

Leo approached slowly, his cloak swaying gently with his steps.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoqian and his companions, he spoke first, "None of you are beastmen. Where did you come from?"

Leo's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the empty restaurant.

Lin Xiaoqian and the others felt a chill run down their spines. They hadn't expected Leo to be able to tell at a glance that they weren't natives of the Beastman Planet.

Lin Xiaoqian quickly called out to the system: "System, can it tell where we came from?"

"This is a special ability possessed by the King of the Orcs, but it can only tell that you are not orcs. The system has already registered your entry information at the spaceport, so don't worry."

Lin Xiaoqian quickly relayed the system's message to Jiang Shuang and the others, putting their minds at ease.

Then he said to Leo, "Your Majesty, we come from a distant galaxy called... the Milky Way. I don't know if you've heard of it. If not, that's alright, since it's so far away."

There are too many galaxies in the universe for even the Orc King, who has lived for over a hundred years, to possibly know all of them.

Moreover, it doesn't matter which star system Lin Xiaoqian and the others come from, so Leo shook his head slightly and said, "I've come here today to buy all the spices you use to make stinky tofu. I want as many as you have."

The Royal Medical Academy couldn't dilute the spices in the stinky tofu sauce to find the real cure for orc mania, so Leo decided to personally come to the restaurant to buy all the spices used to make stinky tofu and then take them to the laboratory to experiment with them one by one.

Leo looked intently at Lin Xiaoqian and said, "You must already know that the sauce you make for stinky tofu is useful to the orc race, so I can grant you whatever you want. I only need the spices to make stinky tofu."

Lin Xiaoqian glanced at the mission progress, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and said, "Your Majesty, I can grant you all the spices for free. However, before that, could you please purchase two servings of our stinky tofu to try?"

Leo, who was already prepared for Lin Xiaoqian to make an exorbitant demand: "???"
