Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

“Guan Guan has been cultivating on the fourth floor at home these past few days, and the results have been very good. I believe that when he leaves and returns to Water Blue Star, his superpower will also be able to advance. So, young man, if you want to have the ability to put sacks on people, you still need to cultivate diligently.”

Ye Zixuan was indeed discouraged; he hung his head, looking somewhat dejected and forlorn. Mo Li smiled and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly:

"I believe you can do it. You'll catch up quickly. Alright, let's go in. Everyone's watching. And I have a feeling that the delicious food at the Beigong family's banquet today will be something you'll like."

"Oh? Really? Then hurry up, hurry up! If that's really the case, I'm going to have to eat a lot!"

Upon entering the banquet hall, a lively and bustling atmosphere filled the air. Mo Li's popularity and her ethereal beauty, along with the three handsome and distinguished men who stood guard beside her like knights, instantly drew the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

They were already used to such looks. Guan Yunzhou and Dongfang Yu registered at the reception desk and presented the gifts they had brought for the day.

Ye Zixuan, who was accompanying Mo Li, had part of his attention drawn to the incredibly luxurious banquet hall, which featured dessert, fruit, snack, food, beverage, and buffet tables.

"A generous gesture, truly a generous gesture. I never expected the Beigong family to be so willing to spend so much money just to hold a homecoming banquet for their young lady!"

That huge area was filled with all sorts of food, and if I'm not mistaken, the flower petals scattered on the counter, the vases, and the fresh flowers in the baskets were all real flowers.

"When I first stepped into this manor, didn't I already see a riot of colorful flowers? Otherwise, why would it be called the Hundred Flowers Manor? Those flowers must have been picked from the manor."

Ye Zixuan suddenly made a significant discovery. Her eyes lit up, and she pointed towards the food area:

"Ah Li, look! Don't those dishes they've displayed look familiar? It's really strange, how come they're the same as the food you gave me before?" Suddenly, her tone changed, and her expression darkened.

"The Beigong family is really despicable, Ali. Do you think they used some underhanded and shady methods to steal it from you?"

For some reason, hearing his words made Mo Li feel inexplicably guilty. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have touched the tip of her nose with her hand. This action was far too obvious, so she could only cough lightly.

"Well, mine isn't entirely unique. I think these were specially brought out by the young lady who is currently highly regarded and valued by the Beigong family."

Ye Zixuan scoffed at this:

"Tsk, it really is all about profit. No wonder they valued this suddenly appearing young lady so much. It turns out there's a lot of profit to be made by the Beigong family from her."

Guan Yunzhou and Dongfang Yu had just returned to Mo Li's side when Ye Zixuan left only one sentence: "Take good care of Ali, I'll go get her some food."

Before he could finish speaking, he darted away. His family knew about his foodie nature and were helpless about it. There was nothing they could do; everything Mo Li brought out was just too delicious. Although they weren't as extreme as Ye Zixuan, they knew deep down that they also had a foodie side.

"Let's go take a look. I must say, the food on each table in the food area looks pretty good."

When Mo Li and his group appeared in the food area, they did attract quite a few glances, but what did that have to do with them?

Ye Zixuan had already placed all the delicious food he had tasted and found quite tasty in front of Mo Li, and he kept sharing it with her:

"Ah Li, this tastes good, fragrant and crispy. This one is delicious, chewy and sweet. And this one is sweet and sour, very appetizing. And this one..."

Turning his head, he looked at Dongfang Yu and Guan Yunzhou:

"What are you all standing there for? The Beigong family is so generous and hospitable, so of course you should eat and drink well and make yourselves feel at home. What's with all the politeness?"

His last words happened to fall into the ears of some people, and those who were initially reluctant to admit their own worth were actually attracted by the dazzling array of fragrant and delicious food.

Most importantly, it's not that they lack knowledge; in terms of status and position, they have seen all kinds of good things and tasted all kinds of delicacies. But what the Beigong family has put out today is something they have never seen before. They are all people with superpowers, so they can naturally sense that each food does not contain any violent factors.

Food without berserk factors is an absolute luxury, something only the wealthy and powerful can obtain without special connections. And now, all of it is laid out right in front of them!

The temptation was just too tempting. Ye Zixuan's words gave them the perfect excuse. What the hell were they worried about? They had to eat, they absolutely had to eat until their bellies were bulging!

In no time, many people walked towards the food area. Some women, who were pulled over by their companions, were dressed very elegantly and acted with great poise and grace. They were also quite embarrassed and even a little resistant.

"This isn't quite right. The banquet hasn't officially started yet, and the host hasn't even come out. It's really a bit..."

“What’s wrong? Look around. Half the people are heading towards the food area. If you don’t eat now and keep putting on airs and acting all high and mighty, you won’t even get a single fruit. These don’t contain any berserk factor. If you don’t eat now, you might not get such a good opportunity again.”

"Oh dear, why don't you go? I'll just stay here. Otherwise, it'll be too embarrassing. I'll look like a country bumpkin who's never seen anything like this before."

"Okay, okay, you country bumpkin, then I'll happily be that country bumpkin today."

Ye Zixuan looked at the growing crowd and winked at Mo Li and the others:

"Given our relationship with the Beigong family, as the most honored guests, it shouldn't be a problem for us to eat and take some things, right? That esteemed Miss Beigong should replenish the supplies in time to maintain the dignity of her return banquet."

Mo Li: "Enjoying VIP privileges is only right, and as for restocking, isn't that necessary?"

Although Dongfang Yu and Guan Yunzhou didn't say anything, their tall figures moved with Mo Li and Ye Zixuan, completely obscuring their movements and figures throughout the entire process.

"Hey, what's going on? I was looking over there just now, and every table seemed to be fully stocked. But up close, it looks sparse, and it's just a superficial layer. Isn't this just a showpiece? It's so flashy and impractical!"

"This banquet lacks sincerity."

"I never paid attention to these things when I attended banquets before. After all, it's all just for show. Apart from the drinks, no one actually eats anything else. This time was different, and this is the result?"

Ye Zixuan laughed and joined in the teasing, clearly enjoying the drama.

"Tsk, tsk, is that all? I'm starting to despise their deceiving behavior towards guests. If they really couldn't bear to part with the food, why do it this way? Isn't this just letting everyone's expectations be dashed and their sincerity crumble?"
