The eyes of the Fire Bull King were immediately fixed on the food that was on the dining table. He had never seen such food before. But the smell of all the food was able to make his mind float like in heaven.
“Chief Chef, the food you made this time is very special. I've never seen food like this in all corners of the Invisibility Realm. I'll give you a great gift after I finish all this food.”
The Fire Bull King became overjoyed when he saw that there were so many delicious foods that he had never seen before, neatly lined up before his eyes. He also paid no heed to the statue of himself that was no longer in its place. Whereas before, the first thing the King saw when entering the dining room was a replica statue of himself in the corner of this room.
“I should have made a very special meal for the King. After all it is also part of the duty of the servant who must always provide new dishes if the servant still wants to be in the position of Head Chef,” replied Heilong while slightly bending his body.
The Fire Bull King slightly looked at Heilong with a strange look after hearing his reply that seemed like a sycophant.
Heilong also felt a strange thing from the gaze of the Fire Fortress King. He realized that his previous remark was too exaggerated and the Fire Bull King seemed to have learned of Heilong's disguise.
The Fire Bull King no longer said a word as he was already impatient to taste the taste of the food that was before his eyes.
The palace soldiers who had since stood behind the King, were finally able to calm down. They all felt relieved as if an enormous stone had been lifted from the top of their heads because the Fire Bull King had not bothered with the statue of him that had been lost.
They all cupped their hands together toward Heilong with a friendly smile as a sign of gratitude for saving them from the King's anger.
The Fire Bull King directly took the chopsticks and began to taste the dishes one by one. And every time he put the food in his mouth, instantly the look on the face of the Fire Bull King turned into overjoyed like a pirate who found treasure on the high seas.
Slowly, the movement of the chopsticks held by the Fire Bull King became even faster as he stuffed the food into his mouth.
The hunger within the Fire Bull King was endless even though he had consumed almost half the food served by the Palace chefs.
The Fire Bull King was like a hungry Bull that had endured hunger for many years.
Heilong was a little disgusted when he saw the Fire Bull King's huge appetite. Because, he only cooks processed vegetable menus commonly encountered by humans on Earth. But, the Fire Bull King looked at all the food like someone who saw priceless gold gems.
The Fire Bull King then threw the chopsticks in his hand all the way and used his hands directly to take all the food one by one. In this way, his movement when taking food will become faster up to four times.
The palace soldiers standing behind the King could only gulp when they saw their King finish all that food with nothing left. Though all the food served on the dinner table was supposed to be enough to satisfy the appetite for thirty demons.
Although they all were eager to taste the food, it was, but they did not dare to express that intention to the Fire Bull King because they were all afraid of making the Fire Bull King become angry and giving them all extremely severe punishment.
In fact, usually the Fire Bull King will always leave food for them to taste. However, such a thing did not seem to be happening this time.
The soldiers of the palace began to whisper behind the King.
“Why did the King get so weird today? It's unusual for him to forget us when he was eating.”
“True, the steam from the food was like dew in the mountainous region. I am very sure that all the vegetables in the dish did not lose their freshness at all.”
“I so want to ask the Chief Chef to make me the food eaten by the current King.”
“We have the same thought. How about after the King returns to his room, we all go straight to the palace kitchen and ask the Chief Chef to cook the dish again.”
“Good, I agree.”
“I also agree.”
“That's a very good idea. I also agree.”
The palace soldiers who were specifically escorting the King finally agreed to go to the palace kitchen after the Fire Bull King finished his meal and returned to his room to rest.
On the other hand, the Fire Bull King had consumed all of that food. He then sat leaning on his seat while holding his stomach because of the satiety.
“Cock Head. Today would have made me a very good meal. As promised, I will give you a very special gift. Just tell me what your request is, I will immediately grant that request,” exclaimed the Fire Bull King staring at Heilong.
“Actually I have absolutely no requests. But if allowed, I want you to free the Golden Feather Lion Kingdom from the obligation to pay tribute,” Heilong replied.
“Save once!! Although I consider you very special and give you the opportunity to make a request, but I cannot grant your request because of the tributes I have drawn from several Kingdoms, I use it to meet the consumption needs of my people,” said Fire Bull King growled.
“Rakyat?!” heilong replied with a mocking smile. “Which story you mean. As a king, you must not use the name of the people to meet your personal needs. Before I got to this place, I had already made sure that all the people of the Fire Bull Kingdom had absolutely no shortage of food to meet their food needs because every resident had a very large plantation land.”
The Fire Bull King directly looked at Heilong sharply and contained a very deep killing intent. He then said coldly.
“It turns out that my guess is correct. You're not the real Chief Chef. But, you are a person from the Golden Feather Lion Kingdom who is in disguise.”
