Upon hearing the words of Dongfang Hao's personal bodyguard, Mo Xuan, Lo An Lord was about to respond. However, before he could utter a word, the voice of the Snow Spirit Elder reached his ears once more.
The Snow Spirit Elder had just heard Mo Xuan's voice and followed its source, spotting Dongfang Hao and his personal bodyguard, Mo Xuan.
Seeing unfamiliar faces at Piaoyun Pavilion, he quickly turned to Lo An Lord and said, "My lord! Since these two young gentlemen are here to see you, you must share your roasted meat with them. Just don't get any ideas about my portion!"
With the current emperor of Silver Moon Kingdom—Dongfang Hao—standing in the courtyard, Lo An Lord found himself at a loss on how to respond to the Snow Spirit Elder's remark.
He couldn't reveal that the young man was not just anyone but the emperor of Silver Moon Kingdom, Your Majesty Dongfang Hao. Yet, he also couldn't agree with the Snow Spirit Elder's casual reference to His Majesty as a young gentleman.
Thus, he felt quite troubled and unsure of what to do.
Just as he was caught in this dilemma, his beloved daughter, Luo Bingbing, timely spoke up to ease the awkwardness.
From beside the fire pit, the little one rolled her eyes and glanced sideways at the Snow Spirit Elder before slowly saying, "Old man, with your greed for food, aren't you afraid that one day I might add something extra to this roasted meat and send you off to Yama King's Hall without you even realizing it?"
Hearing his beloved daughter's words made Lo An Lord rub his forehead in frustration. He thought to himself, "Why is my beloved daughter always so rude to her master? Why can't she learn some manners?"
However, instead of being angry at the little one's comment, the Snow Spirit Elder chuckled and replied to the little doll by the fire pit, "Child, I know you have a sharp tongue but a kind heart. So I'm not afraid. Besides, being able to enjoy the most delicious roasted meat in the world makes me quite content."
After listening to their exchange, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but feel a hint of interest.
He glanced at the Snow Spirit Elder and slowly said, "If an old man like you is so content, could it be that there’s something special about this roasted meat?"
Upon hearing his words, the Snow Spirit Elder perked up.
He stood up and casually patted Dongfang Hao on the shoulder, saying, "Young man, there's much you don't know..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Xuan behind Dongfang Hao and continued, "If you've tasted the barbecue made by the doll, you'll find it hard to swallow anything else. I guarantee that after you try it, you'll keep thinking about it."
Dongfang Hao was displeased when he noticed that the Silver-Haired Elder had casually come up to him and patted his shoulder. Given his severe cleanliness obsession, he felt a wave of irritation wash over him.
His thick brows furrowed deeply, but he remained silent, merely casting a faint glance at Lo An Lord beside him.
Lo An Lord, along with Strategist Gongsun Ming and Dongfang Hao's Personal Bodyguard, were all taken aback when they saw the Snow Spirit Elder approach His Majesty and pat his shoulder. Their mouths dropped open in astonishment.
Upon seeing the look in His Majesty Dongfang Hao's eyes, Lo An Lord understood that the emperor was signaling him to quickly get the elder away from his side.
Thus, Lo An Lord immediately addressed the Snow Spirit Elder, saying, "Senior, weren't you craving barbecue? Look, it's already cooked, and the fire is almost out. Don't tell me you don't want to eat anymore?"
"Who said the Old Man doesn't want to eat this delicious barbecue? Stop spreading malicious rumors!" The Snow Spirit Elder quickly retorted after hearing Lo An Lord's words.
However, after saying that, he swiftly moved away from Dongfang Hao's side and rushed to the fire pit, skillfully grabbing a Roasted Mountain Chicken from the grill.
Without caring about the heat or his image, he held the fragrant Roasted Mountain Chicken and began to devour it hungrily.
Seeing that the Snow Spirit Elder was already enjoying the delicious barbecue while it had not yet eaten, the Snow Spirit Fox began to whine at the Little One beside it, urging for some barbecue.
Hearing the Snow Spirit Fox's cries, Luo Bingbing took a Roasted Mountain Chicken from the grill and tossed it to the Snow Spirit Fox. Afterward, she grabbed another one for herself but only took a chicken leg before giving the rest to her Nursemaid standing behind her.
The Nursemaid longed to eat the Roasted Mountain Chicken in her hands but hesitated when she saw her lord still hadn't started eating. She stood there blankly behind Luo Bingbing, clutching the chicken.
Meanwhile, Luo Bingbing paid no mind to them and took small bites of her chicken leg, chewing slowly. Although she was holding it with her bare hands, her posture was remarkably elegant.
Once she finished her chicken leg, the Snow Spirit Fox had already devoured its entire mountain chicken. So Luo Bingbing took another Roasted Mountain Chicken from the grill for it.
After throwing the Mountain Chicken to the Snow Spirit Fox, she turned her head to glance at the Nursemaid behind her. When she saw that the Roasted Mountain Chicken in the Nursemaid's hands had not moved at all, she couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly and said to the Nursemaid, "Nursemaid, why aren't you eating?"
Upon hearing her Princess's words, the Nursemaid slowly replied, "Princess, the Lord hasn't eaten yet!"
Luo Bingbing turned to her so-called Father and said, "Father, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"
Lo An Lord was at a loss for words in response to his Beloved Daughter. Just as he hesitated, he heard Luo Bingbing's clear and youthful voice nearby.
The Little One raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm telling you, the one in white clothes, if you have nothing to do, just hurry up and leave! Don't be a nuisance here and ruin everyone's appetite."
Hearing her words, Lo An Lord, Strategist Gongsun Ming, and Dongfang Hao's Personal Bodyguard Mo Xuan all gasped in shock.
Strategist Gongsun Ming couldn't help but think to himself, "This Little Princess is too bold! She's clearly trying to chase the Emperor away!"
However, this was something he dared only to say in his heart; openly expressing it was out of the question.
Dongfang Hao had originally come to Prince Luo's Residence to confirm whether this Little Princess was indeed the Little Doll he had encountered on the street. Now that the answer was clear, he wanted to return to the palace.
Yet before he could act on his thoughts, he heard the Little One urging him to leave.
Upon hearing that Little One telling him to go away, Dongfang Hao was taken aback. As an emperor of great stature, wherever he went, people would try their best to keep him around and eagerly awaited his presence.
But now he was being chased away by a Little Doll; this was a serious affront to his imperial dignity. The thought of leaving that had crossed his mind was now abandoned.
He frowned slightly and said to Lo An Lord beside him, "Lord Luo, I haven't had dinner yet; how about I eat here?"
Upon hearing His Majesty say he would dine in his Prince Luo's Residence, Lo An Lord quickly responded, "Very well, Your Majesty." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to a nearby servant and instructed, "Quickly inform the kitchen to prepare a lavish feast; Speed is of the essence."
However, before he could finish his sentence, His Majesty spoke up again: "No need for that; I'll just have some roasted meat here!"
Upon hearing his words, Lord Lo An quickly stepped forward and took a Roasted Mountain Chicken off the grill, placing it in front of him.
However, before he could start eating, Mo Xuan, standing behind him, immediately spoke up, "Sir, let me test it first."
As he spoke, Mo Xuan took out a Silver Needle, preparing to check if the delicious roasted meat on the stone table was poisoned.
Dongfang Hao nodded slightly in response to his words, signaling him to continue.
Luo Bingbing, overhearing their conversation and observing their actions, felt a surge of anger within her, believing her dignity had been insulted.
Just as Mo Xuan was about to insert the Silver Needle into the fragrant roasted meat, Luo Bingbing secretly activated her Ability, swiftly darting forward to snatch the Roasted Mountain Chicken from in front of them.
Her Speed was so astonishing that neither Mo Xuan nor Dongfang Hao had time to react before the roasted meat was already in Luo Bingbing's hands.
Once they regained their senses, they saw that the Little One had taken the roasted meat, both furrowing their brows slightly but remaining silent as they fixed their gazes on her.
Lord Lo An was not only surprised that his Beloved Daughter had snatched away the roasted meat he intended to present to His Majesty but also deeply worried that His Majesty would punish his Beloved Daughter for such disrespect.
Thus, he hurriedly scolded his Beloved Daughter, "Bing Bing, how can you be so rude? Quickly return it and apologize to this young man."
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing disdainfully glanced at Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard Mo Xuan, mockingly saying, "Apologize? I see you all don’t want to eat roasted meat anymore!"
As she spoke, her so-called lord was about to respond when a voice came from beside them—Snow Spirit Elder was devouring the roasted meat with gusto.
"No, no! I've always supported you," Snow Spirit Elder said while swallowing a piece of meat.
Although Snow Spirit Elder was busy eating the roasted meat, he was also keenly aware of the surrounding dynamics, especially regarding the two young men he had just met.
When he noticed Lord Lo An treating the young man in the White Brocade Robe with such respect, he discreetly observed this young man. Having lived for over sixty years and seen many people, he discerned an imperial aura emanating from the young man in the White Brocade Robe. Thus, he speculated that this young man must be the current emperor of Silver Moon Kingdom.
Seeing the usually reserved Little Doll's Lo An Lord sternly reprimanding his Beloved Daughter, he became even more convinced that the Young Man in the White Brocade Robe was indeed the current Emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
However, the fragrant roasted meat held a paramount place in his heart, and to him, the Emperor was nothing significant. Besides, he still wanted to take Luo Bingbing as his disciple! Therefore, after hearing Luo Bingbing's words, he immediately voiced his support for her.
Upon hearing the Snow Spirit Elder's words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smile lightly, her lips curving into a faint grin as she slowly replied, "Old Man, at least you still have a bit of conscience."
But Lo An Lord furrowed his brows deeply after hearing the Snow Spirit Elder's words and said seriously, "Senior, indulging her like this will lead to trouble."
The Snow Spirit Elder frowned at Lo An Lord's remark and retorted, "What trouble? It's just an Emperor. What's so great about that? Besides, this roasted meat was made by the doll; she didn't invite him to eat."
At this point, he paused slightly, casting a casual glance at Dongfang Hao before continuing to address Lo An Lord. "And you know how difficult it is for us to ask the doll to roast meat for us every day."
Dongfang Hao listened intently to the conversation between the Snow Spirit Elder and Lo An Lord, his gaze fixed on the Snow Spirit Elder as he secretly speculated about his identity.
Suddenly, he recalled that this old man's appearance closely resembled that of the legendary Snow Spirit Elder.
Thus, he spoke up and asked, "Are you the Snow Spirit Elder from Ling Mountain?"
The Snow Spirit Elder glanced at him lightly and replied slowly, "So what if I am? And so what if I'm not?"
