Chapter 87 A Surprise at the Wedding Banquet
Amitil smiled slightly, "My lord, I apologize for my previous offenses. On behalf of the entire Ice and Snow Empire, I extend my sincerest apologies to you."

As she spoke, she took out a jade bottle.

"This is Cold Marrow Ice Dew, which can help your body recover as soon as possible."

Leng Shuang looked disdainful.

She doesn't care about this stuff.

Seeing this, Celucia joined the conversation between the two.

"My lord, since it is the Empress's kind gesture, you may simply accept it. If you do not need it, you may give it to someone else."

She took the jade bottle from Amitil and handed it to Cold Frost.

After a moment's thought, Leng Shuang accepted the small bottle.

Celucia is right. If she doesn't need it, she can give it to Iceflame. There's no need to waste it.

Accepting a gift does not mean you forgive the other person.

She had nothing to say to Amitil.

The appearance of Seruccia, Cold Frost, and Emily has sparked much discussion.

Everyone could tell that these women had extraordinary bearing and were probably not as simple as they seemed.

Alan gave a cold laugh.

"These people are probably Loren's mistresses. Alas, my poor sister, she really had bad luck in choosing men."

"Alan!" Viscount Rose whispered, "Don't speak carelessly!"

Although he didn't know the true identities of Celucia and the others, he could sense their extraordinary aura.

Even if she really is Loren's mistress, there's no need to make wild guesses and invite trouble upon yourself.

In fact, many people share the same thoughts as Alan.

After all, they had heard many rumors about Loren.

Some people couldn't resist the temptation and tried to talk to the three women, but without exception, they were ignored.

Amytil teased softly, "Your Majesty, did you hear that? These people are saying you're that boy's mistress. I wonder if they're telling the truth."

Celucia ignored it.

If she really cared about this nonsense, Loren would have died eight hundred times over.

As the guests arrived, Loren arranged seats for everyone.

As Loren's family members, Lorton, Loris, and the others naturally had to sit together.

The same goes for Xuefu's family.

Serusia, Cold Frost, Emilia, and Hela, these four people with special identities, were also arranged to sit at the same table.

Ice Flame and Frost sat together.

Loren arranged for Lilia and Millie to stay with them.

After the seats were arranged, the wedding banquet officially began.

After a carefully prepared opening speech, Xuefu took to the stage in a formal gown.

Hongyu and Huohua followed behind her, their long skirts trailing behind them.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

"Elves! And there are two of them!"

"How is it possible that such a small place as Sandstone Town could give birth to two Pokémon?"

The nobles in the audience were extremely envious.

Especially those barons and viscounts.

They don't have a single Pokémon, but Sandrock has two.

And Loren actually made them help hold her skirt!

Are such beautiful creatures as fairies meant to be used for this kind of thing?

What a waste of natural resources!

Lorton looked at Loris in surprise, "Where did Loren get these little elves? Do you know?"

Loris shook her head. "I'm surprised too. This guy actually dared to keep it from us! Such an important thing as the evolution of a Pokémon, he should have told his family immediately!"

"I guess they're busy building Shashi Town, which makes sense."

"What a pleasant surprise!" Lorina said with a smile.

"A surprise? What surprise?" Loris asked, puzzled.

"When we sent out the invitations, Loren said he would give us a surprise, which must have been referring to these two little elves."

Loris remained silent.

What are little sprites?
He also has a great elf!
Most importantly, only she knew that the Queen of the Elf Kingdom was sitting at one of the tables!
That's a real surprise!

Loren and Shirley gave speeches, offering their blessings to each other and promising to stay together for life.

Then came mealtime.

While the wedding was taking place, the servants had already served the appetizers.

Thea's eyes lit up when she saw the abundant dishes on the table.

Sure enough, there were the braised snacks she had been longing for!
Not only that, there are also many new dishes.

Lolis decisively picked up a boneless chicken claw.

This is a recent new product, and she hasn't tried it much.

tasty!

But it's not spicy enough!

Lolis took out the spicy dipping sauce and enjoyed it immensely.

Lorton and the others also began to taste it one by one.

All the dishes were very fresh.

Besides the braised snacks I'd seen before, there were also all sorts of cold dishes I'd never seen before.

"What kind of dish is this! It's so spicy!" Lorina exclaimed.

Loris scoffed, "Sister, can't you even handle this little bit of spice? Come and try my dipping sauce."

Lolina curiously forked a chicken foot and dipped it in the sauce.

One bite and her face instantly turned bright red from the spiciness.

"What's going on? Did the chef put wasabi in it?"

"No! This isn't wasabi!"

As a seasoned foodie, Thea knew that this was not the spiciness of wasabi.

This spiciness penetrates to the very soul; it's a spiciness born of magic!
It might be hard to accept at first, but once you get used to it, it will become an indispensable delicacy!
Loren's culinary talent is truly remarkable, as he can actually use extreme spiciness as a seasoning!

"Water! Give me water quickly!"

Lolina hurriedly called for help.

This spiciness is so strange, even the flames and fighting spirit can't stop it!

The servants quickly prepared various kinds of iced drinks.

Lolina enjoyed a refreshing glass of ice-cold beer!
"Good heavens! Loren even prepared chilled drinks, where did he get so much money?"

Building an icehouse would be quite expensive. With so many nobles attending the wedding banquet today, will every table have iced drinks?
How much ice would that require? How much would it cost?
"These foods are indeed delicious, but it's a pity there aren't enough..." Thea said with a hint of regret.

“Yes, there are far too few dishes. How can the guests enjoy their meal?” Lorina wholeheartedly agreed with Thea’s opinion.

She had only taken a few bites when the plate on the table was already empty.

Didn't Loren consider the appetites of the nobles?

All the nobles had undergone knightly training, and most of them were knights, with considerable appetites.

This amount of food is definitely not enough.

How can you fill your stomach with just side dishes and iced drinks?
At another table, Alan was expressing the same view.

"My sister and brother-in-law are really something. There are so many guests at the banquet, and they only prepared a few dishes. It's not even enough for me to eat."

Lady Celine quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"There are many things to prepare for a wedding banquet, so it's normal to overlook a few things."

"Yes, the portions are a bit small, but you can tell they were carefully prepared. These dishes are rare delicacies even in the royal city."

"I'm curious, where do so many novel foods come from in such a small town like Sandstone?"

Seeing everyone praising him so enthusiastically, Alan's face turned ugly.

She finally found an opportunity to make sarcastic remarks when the servants came to clear the dishes.

"Look, we haven't even finished eating and they're already clearing the plates. Is that acceptable?"

"This……"

This behavior is indeed somewhat impolite.

However, everyone quickly understood the servant's behavior.

How can we serve new dishes if we don't clear the plates first?

The main course is coming up next; there are still many dishes to be served.

The servants brought in various hot dishes one after another.

Sweet, salty, spicy, sour...

All kinds of flavors are available.

At this banquet, everyone can find a dish they like.

Alan was completely dumbfounded.

What's happening here?
Why are there still so many dishes?
These steaming hot dishes smell so appetizing that they make your mouth water.

Moreover, these are all unique delicacies found only in Shashi Town.

There wasn't one anywhere else, not even in the royal city!

Is it possible to eat so many delicious foods every day in Shashi Town?
So this is what Xuefu has been living in Sandstone Town all this time?
Isn't this just too blissful?
"No wonder I saw so many tourists when I came here, now I finally understand."

"It seems that Sandstone Town wants to build its territory through food. That's quite a novel idea."

The nobles were feasting at the table.

Some people, however, were in a dilemma.

These dishes are indeed delicious, but they are extremely inconvenient to eat.

Take, for example, the pea shoots in the soup.

Knives, forks, spoons, and all kinds of cutlery are difficult to carry.

Are the ingredients in the soup just side dishes, not meant to be eaten?

Thea keenly noticed that Loris almost never used a knife and fork; she always used two wooden sticks.

"Loris, what kind of cutlery are you using?"

Lorice proudly introduced, "These are called chopsticks. You'd better learn how to use them, or you'll be in trouble at the dinner party."

"Chopsticks?"

Thea unpacked the baby chopsticks on the table.

Although they are slightly different from Loris's chopsticks, they can perform the same operation.

Having chopsticks makes picking up food much easier.

"Did Loren also invent these chopsticks?" Thea asked in confusion.

"Probably, anyway, I learned it from him."

Thea looked on in astonishment, "Just how many more good things is that guy hiding?"

The Elf Queen's table was quite skilled at using chopsticks.

Apart from Amitil and Lilia.

Cold Frost has spent a few days in Sandstone Town and has already learned to use wooden chopsticks.

Amytil, on the other hand, had never met him before.

However, she has a strong learning ability and can learn something just by looking at it once.

In contrast, Lilia always grabs things with her hands, which is extremely rude.

Celucia smacked her on the head with the tip of her chopstick. "Don't use your hands!"

Lilia flew into a rage, "How dare you! The deer has always eaten like this!"

She often goes to the food street to eat and drink for free; she's long been used to this way of life.

Loren was completely unaware of this, otherwise he would have certainly taught her a lesson.

However, before that, the Elf Queen decided to train the deer in Loren's place.

"If you keep eating like this, it means you've been wrong all along!"

Lilia was furious, but she didn't dare to go against Celucia.

That chopstick hit her really hurt.

This woman is so fierce!

Even fiercer than Loris!

She's a bad woman too!
The little deer looked aggrieved as it tried to use chopsticks, finding it very difficult to get used to.

"If I see you grabbing something with your hands again, I'll beat you up!"

Lilia scoffed, "You wicked woman! Little Deer will tell Loren on you!"

Serusia found it laughable.

What's the point of filing a complaint?

Even Loren has to listen to her, let alone you, you stupid deer.

Millie didn't eat much of the vegetables, but a servant prepared honey and nectar for her.

Ice Flame doesn't know how to use chopsticks yet, so Frost has to help it pick up food.

After watching the Queen train the deer, Leng Shuang highly approved of Celucia's actions.

She had been wondering why Bingyan was jumping around like a silly deer all day, but now she finally found the reason.

It turns out that Loren really does have a silly roe deer at home.

From now on, I need to keep Little Ice Flame away from her to prevent her from catching his intelligence.
