The chicken was so fragrant and pure that it had almost no trace of any unpleasant odor; every bite was filled with a spicy and savory flavor, making the experience utterly delightful!
Li Jiang was so thrilled that he felt like he could fly!
His unusual behavior caught everyone else in the room off guard.
Ma Daocheng suspected that Chen Zao had poisoned the Mouthwatering Chicken, and he immediately slammed his hand on the table, drew his sword, and pointed it at Chen Zao, shouting, "Hey! Who sent you as an assassin? Dare to poison Commander Yuan in the food!"
With Ma Daocheng's outburst, several Imperial Guard soldiers behind Chen Zao, including Li Xiliang who had escorted them there, all drew their swords simultaneously, surrounding Chen Zao in a fan-like formation.
Ren Xiao was bewildered by the scene and hurriedly stepped in front of Chen Zao, exclaiming, "What are you doing? Why would Chef Chen poison my Sister Two? That makes no sense! Put your swords away! Don't be rude to Chef Chen!"
Chen Zao secretly activated the Time-Space Dragon Ring; if anything went wrong, he would immediately make his escape.
Li Jiang was so overwhelmed with joy that he seemed almost drunk.
The delicious piece of chicken in his mouth felt like the last breath of life; he simply couldn't swallow it, nor could he speak.
He could only shake his head and wave his hands at everyone, signaling them to back off. He wasn't poisoned; it was just that the Mouthwatering Chicken was too delicious!
Xiao Taili, familiar with her superior's behavior, recognized that Li Jiang often displayed this kind of expression and movement when he was in bed.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in confusion: Was the Mouthwatering Chicken really that good? How could Jiang become so excited and frenzied?
Li Jiang's tongue was overwhelmed with the spicy sensation, and his round face turned bright red. Seeing everyone watching him, he eagerly pointed at the plate of Mouthwatering Chicken while mumbling something, clearly desperate to share his excitement.
It was evident to anyone watching that Li Jiang was completely captivated by this dish.
What kind of magic did this chicken possess to have such an effect on this fierce general?
Curiosity surged within Ren Yuan, and she was eager to taste the seemingly unremarkable Mouthwatering Chicken.
However, as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, Ren Yuan had to be more cautious in everything she did.
There might be some strange drug in this chicken that Chen Zao had used, which was why Li Jiang was so stimulated; she couldn't fall into that trap.
She signaled to Xiao Taili, asking her to taste the dish since she was more attentive to details.
Xiao Taili was thrown into disarray by Li Jiang's frantic actions.
Hesitating, she picked up a piece of Mouthwatering Chicken and placed it in her mouth, not daring to chew right away but instead pressed it lightly with her tongue.
A burst of fragrant and spicy sensations spread from Xiao Taili's tongue, sending a shiver down her spine!
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What kind of seasoning is this!
How could it be so aromatic!
There wasn't a hint of foul smell at all!
Perhaps it was because she was used to eating foul-tasting things, but Xiao Taili pressed the smooth chicken in her mouth, trying to extract a familiar stench from it.
Yet the expected fishy odor never came!
Her mouth was filled with pure, spicy freshness!
Only a slight hint of Beast Oil's fishiness lingered.
The taste is simply incredible!
Xiao Taili couldn't wait to chew on the chicken.
Her jaw moved vigorously, and with each bite, the soft friction between her teeth and the chicken brought her a spicy thrill akin to salt hitting fire!
It was just too delicious!
She had never tasted such "pure" chicken before!
After a few bites, she felt overwhelmed by the authentic spiciness and the fragrant flavor of the chicken, which was completely devoid of bitterness!
Although she wasn't as impulsive as Li Jiang,
at this moment, Xiao Taili could hardly contain herself, and saliva was about to spill from the corners of her mouth.
It was like a seasoned person suddenly catching a whiff of Lane's IRaLe fragrance—an impact that shook her soul, challenged her worldview, and struck at the very essence of life, leaving Xiao Taili utterly amazed and captivated!
She glanced at Chen Zao with an incredulous look, then turned her eager gaze towards Ren Yuan.
The fragrant meat in her mouth refused to go down easily; she chewed repeatedly, mumbling indistinctly to Ren Yuan, "Delicious... Commander Yuan... so good...!"
Ma Daocheng and the other Imperial Guards were stunned when they heard Xiao Taili exclaim how tasty it was.
Looking at Li Jiang's endless delight, they were dumbfounded—could it be? Was this Mouthwatering Chicken really that good? How could both deputy commanders be so flushed with excitement?
Ren Yuan's eyes sparkled with disbelief and anticipation as he picked up his chopsticks to try a piece of Chen Zao's Mouthwatering Chicken.
Lu Huiyun, Ma Daocheng, and others focused their attention on Ren Yuan's face.
They observed the Deputy Commander's thin lips slowly pressing together, her fragrant teeth gently chewing.
There was no sign of an exaggerated reaction.
She maintained a calm expression, though her eyes occasionally revealed a surge of surprise.
Soon, Ren Yuan's breathing became rapid.
A heat that could tantalize was released from her nostrils.
Her shoulders and chest visibly rose and fell more intensely.
Although she still pretended to be composed,
anyone with a bit of insight could see that Ren Yuan was thoroughly enjoying herself, and it was quite intense!
She simply did not want to show it.
It was like a blossoming young girl in her prime, shy and hesitant to confess her feelings to her crush.
Yet the pure impulse and dedication born from love in their hearts could not be concealed, no matter how hard they tried.
If she were in a secluded environment, indulging in this Mouthwatering Chicken, her actions as a food enthusiast might be even more outrageous than Li Jiang's.
But in front of everyone, Ren Yuan managed to keep her composure.
The exquisite taste that could overturn all her emotions exploded in Ren Yuan's mouth, yet she managed to maintain a sense of rationality, not making any embarrassing moves.
In her heart, Ren Yuan truly looked at Chen Zao with newfound respect!
At the same time, she felt the need to apologize to Ren Xiao.
Although she still thought that a serving of Fried Rice was worth one gram of gold and a serving of Mouthwatering Chicken was also worth one gram of gold, the price was indeed too high.
However, she had to admit that the dishes prepared by Chef Chen were exactly as Ren Xiao described: they had completely subverted her expectations! She tasted a beauty she had never experienced before!
"Commander Yuan, if it's delicious, don't hold back. The drool at the corner of your mouth is almost forming strings," Chen Zao pointed out the area beneath Ren Yuan's mouth.
Ren Yuan glanced down and felt utterly embarrassed! The drool was almost dripping onto her chest!
She quickly wiped it away.
"Ahem."
She coughed to cover up her embarrassment.
"I've told you all before, this is the real Mouthwatering Chicken, worth its weight in gold!" The atmosphere in the room took a turn as Chen Zao began to think about money again. "If you still think this Mouthwatering Chicken is too expensive, then on account of Seventh Sister, I'll give you a discount—just use the worthless Stone Carving under the outer wall as payment for the remaining eight grams of gold."
