After hearing the ambiguous words of the Snow Spirit Elder, Dongfang Hao felt certain that the Silver-Haired Elder before him was indeed the renowned Snow Spirit Elder.
He had always approached powerful individuals with a desire to befriend them. Therefore, upon realizing that the Silver-Haired Elder was the famous Snow Spirit Elder, he immediately felt a strong inclination to connect with him.
He slowly said, "Elder, meeting is fate, and since we are sharing this barbecue together, we might as well consider ourselves acquainted!"
The Snow Spirit Elder casually replied, "Old man, I’m just a simple rustic fellow; I don’t have the fortune to be associated with you, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Hao's words, Lord Lo An quickly gestured to his Beloved Daughter, signaling her to return the Roasted Mountain Chicken she held back to Dongfang Hao.
However, his Beloved Daughter turned her head away and didn’t even glance at him. Thus, he had no choice but to take a fragrant Roasted Mountain Chicken from the grill and place it in front of Dongfang Hao.
Just as he was about to set the delicious roasted meat on the stone table before Dongfang Hao, a strange gust of wind swept by. After the wind passed, the Roasted Mountain Chicken in his hand vanished without a trace.
He quickly turned his head in the direction from which the peculiar wind had disappeared.
To his shock, he saw that his Beloved Daughter was now standing where the strange wind had vanished. Moreover, she was holding two Roasted Mountain Chickens in her hands.
Seeing that his Beloved Daughter suddenly had an extra Roasted Mountain Chicken made it clear to him that she must have snatched away the fragrant chicken he had just held. The strange wind was clearly a trick created by his Little One to distract him.
Dongfang Hao was about to respond to the words of the Snow Spirit Elder, but before he could speak, a new situation arose with the father and daughter in front of him. He had no choice but to pause his thoughts and focus intently on them.
Lo An Lord, realizing that it was indeed his Beloved Daughter who was causing trouble, couldn't help but furrow his brows. His mind raced as he pondered how to extricate her from this predicament and prevent the nearby Your Majesty from punishing her.
Before he could come up with a solution, he heard his Beloved Daughter's voice. "If you want to eat my roasted meat, you'll need my permission first!"
At this point, she cast a calm glance at Your Majesty Dongfang Hao before continuing, "I believe no one would want to wear the mark of a thief on their chest, right?"
Though her tone was questioning, it effectively closed off any escape routes for others, leaving no room for negotiation.
She understood that if she provoked the emperor too much, her so-called Father would find himself in a difficult position.
Thus, she offered this calculating emperor a chance to backtrack while simultaneously setting a trap that he might not even notice.
Thinking about how her initial funds for building those forces were now secured, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, feeling quite pleased with herself.
Both Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming gasped at the words of this Little One.
Mo Xuan felt furious upon hearing the Little One compare her master to a petty thief. Just as he was about to reprimand her, his master spoke first.
However, Your Majesty did not intend to scold the Little One; instead, he sought to win her over.
With piercing eyes fixed on the Little One, Your Majesty Dongfang Hao slowly said, "Little Doll, speak up! What are your conditions?"
Don’t be fooled into thinking that this emperor was easygoing or gentle; in reality, he was quite calculating!
Indeed, he saw that Luo Bingbing was a strong individual and had a close relationship with the Snow Spirit Elder, who was a legend in the martial world and the Sect Leader of Ling Mountain. Therefore, he chose to overlook the Little One's rudeness and continued to indulge her disrespect.
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mischievous smile. She casually glanced at him before slowly saying, "Talking to an intelligent person is refreshing!"
Upon receiving her compliment, Dongfang Hao maintained his icy demeanor and simply replied, "Conditions?"
"Very simple. A monetary transaction: one hundred taels of gold for a Roasted Mountain Chicken," Luo Bingbing stated calmly.
Thud...
Everyone felt their hearts skip a beat at her words.
At the same time, both Strategist Gongsun Ming and the Snow Spirit Elder silently rejoiced in their hearts, relieved that the Little One hadn't asked them for money; otherwise, they wouldn't know where to find such a large sum!
Before anyone could react, they heard the Little One's voice again. "Last time it was one hundred thousand taels of gold; that amount was indeed quite large. It's natural you didn't have it on you. But now, this mere one hundred taels of gold—surely you don't need to write an IOU for that?"
Upon hearing her words, everyone was once again taken aback, left stunned and petrified.
However, the main character was naturally an exception.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Hao turned to his Personal Bodyguard, Mo Xuan, and said, "Mo Xuan, give her one hundred taels of gold."
Lo An Lord snapped back to reality at the Emperor Dongfang Hao's words and immediately wanted to stop his beloved daughter's actions.
But before he could take any action, he was immobilized by his Beloved Daughter. It turned out that Luo Bingbing had long anticipated that her so-called Father would try to stop her from making money. So, as soon as Lo An Lord began to move, she secretly activated her Ability to freeze him in place, preventing him from ruining her chance to earn.
When Lo An Lord realized he could suddenly no longer move, he understood that it was his Little One who was behind this trickery.
However, even though he knew it was that Little One causing the trouble, he found himself utterly helpless, as he was now unable to move or speak.
The others around them had no authority to stop the Little One's actions, and besides, they were not in a position to provoke her!
With the obstruction gone, Luo Bingbing successfully earned the one hundred taels of gold.
However, when Mo Xuan took the Roasted Mountain Chicken from Luo Bingbing's hands, he still first tested it with a Silver Needle to ensure there was no poison in the meat. Only after confirming its safety did he begin to cut the roasted meat into small pieces. He then respectfully placed the pieces before Dongfang Hao, inviting His Majesty to enjoy.
Yet, Luo Bingbing no longer cared about his actions because that meal had been exchanged for one hundred taels of gold. Moreover, once Dongfang Hao tasted her roasted meat, he would surely return for more.
It should be noted that in this world, she was the only one capable of making such delicious roasted meat. Those who had tasted her cooking found all other food here nearly inedible. Therefore, her initial capital was destined to be paid by Emperor Dongfang Hao.
However, judged by the standards of a top chef, the food in this world could indeed be considered garbage.
Dongfang Hao slowly picked up a piece of roasted meat from the stone table and brought it close to his nose. As soon as he entered Piaoyun Pavilion, he had caught a whiff of the rich aroma of roasted meat and felt curious about whether it was indeed the scent of this mountain chicken.
Once the piece reached his nose, he confirmed that it was indeed the enticing aroma of Roasted Mountain Chicken.
He then slowly placed it in his mouth. The moment it touched his tongue, he was astonished. It was just an ordinary wild mountain chicken—far inferior to the delicacies in his palace—but its flavor and texture surpassed anything he had ever tasted!
Realizing that this roasted meat was not only tender and flavorful but also not greasy at all—infinitely better than what the imperial chefs prepared—Dongfang Hao couldn't help but look at that Little One with great curiosity.
Although he was watching the Little One with a myriad of doubts in his heart, his hands did not slow down even a bit. The food was simply too delicious, so he kept eating.
Before long, he had consumed more than half of the Roasted Mountain Chicken.
While he ate without a care, someone behind him was paying close attention. Mo Xuan, standing behind him, was astonished to see his master, the Emperor, devouring this ordinary Roasted Mountain Chicken.
The Emperor usually had hundreds of dishes on the table during meals. To prevent anyone from having the opportunity to harm him, he only selected a few dozen dishes and took just a tiny bit from each.
Yet now, he had eaten more than half of this solitary mountain chicken, which explained Mo Xuan's surprise.
When Mo Xuan saw his master continuously bringing the roasted meat from the stone table to his mouth, he couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, you..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Dongfang Hao, who was busy eating the roasted meat, waved his hand to interrupt him.
Dongfang Hao knew what his personal bodyguard wanted to say, but he simply could not resist the temptation of the fragrant roasted meat. As he waved his hand, his mouth and other hand were still occupied with food.
Luo Bingbing noticed that Dongfang Hao had already eaten more than half of the Roasted Mountain Chicken and secretly activated her ability to lift the restrictions imposed by her so-called father.
Although Lord Lo An's restrictions had been lifted, he remained motionless where he stood.
He understood the Emperor's habits well. Seeing Dongfang Hao consume most of the Roasted Mountain Chicken left him equally astonished as Mo Xuan.
Meanwhile, the Snow Spirit Elder watched as Emperor Dongfang Hao enjoyed the delicious roasted meat with such delight and thought to himself: "It's over; it's over. There will be one more person sharing the roasted meat in the future."
It wasn't until Dongfang Hao had nearly finished the Roasted Mountain Chicken in front of him that he finally stopped eating.
However, although he had finished his barbecue, the doubts in his heart deepened.
Previously, he only knew that this Little Doll was exceptionally skilled in martial arts and possessed profound knowledge, but he had no idea that her culinary skills were also superb. She managed to roast a simple mountain chicken better than the delicacies prepared by the royal chefs in the palace, which truly astonished him.
This Little Doll before him always seemed to deliver shocking surprises without even trying. He couldn't help but wonder to himself: how many more secrets does this Little Doll hold? What other abilities does she possess?
With this thought, his interest in the Little Doll increased significantly.
Luo Bingbing noticed that Your Majesty Dongfang Hao had finished eating and slowly said, "So, what do you think? Is a hundred taels of gold worth it for this mountain chicken?"
Upon hearing the Little One's question, Dongfang Hao casually glanced at her and replied nonchalantly, "Just barely acceptable; it passes."
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but mutter to herself, "You really know how to put on an act. Just barely acceptable? You managed to eat the whole mountain chicken."
As they conversed, Lo An Lord suddenly realized he could move again and quickly turned to his Beloved Daughter. "Bing Bing, return that hundred taels of gold to the emperor immediately."
"Why should I? I didn't steal or rob it; besides, I earned it by roasting this chicken with my own effort," Luo Bingbing retorted immediately.
Seeing the Little One's strong attitude even towards her father surprised Dongfang Hao and left him puzzled. Clearly, he had previously discovered that this Little One was not favored in Prince Luo's Residence and lived a life worse than even the servants in the palace. He had even doubted whether she was truly the same person.
