Zhou Ye nodded in agreement. It was a revelation to him that ancient delicacies could emit such an alluring fragrance. The flavors he had experienced from ancient delicacies during his time in the Alliance paled in comparison to the aroma of the roast bray he encountered today.
Capturing the crowd’s attention, the emcee seized the moment and declared, “I’m sure everyone is eager to sample the roast bray for themselves. Fear not, the delicacies prepared here today will be served to all during lunch and dinner.”
Upon hearing this announcement, anticipation filled the air, and many individuals eagerly looked forward to the upcoming meals.
Satisfied with the response he garnered, the emcee beamed and continued, “There is still half an hour before lunch is served. We kindly request that you proceed to the dining area in advance, select your preferred seating, and inform our staff of the number of guests in your party. This will allow our staff to ensure a smooth and efficient service for everyone.”
“Let’s hurry!” Davies couldn’t contain his excitement and pulled Zhou Ye and Mi Lu towards the dining area, following the signs along the roadside.
After selecting a table and providing the staff with the number of guests, it wasn’t long before a food cart was wheeled over to Zhou Ye and his companions’ table.
The lunch menu featured four distinct dishes: garlic prawns, lemon shredded chicken, red wine steak, and cream mushroom soup. Each person at Zhou Ye’s table was provided with their own set of cutlery. While the red wine steak and cream mushroom soup required the utensils, the other two dishes could be enjoyed without them.
As the dishes were presented, Davies caught a whiff of their enticing aromas, causing his mouth to water uncontrollably. After the staff introduced the characteristics and recommended methods of enjoying each dish, Davies eagerly grabbed his knife and fork, clumsily attempting to cut into the steak.
Unfamiliar with the use of human utensils, Davies struggled to control his strength, resulting in the cutlery clashing against the plate with a series of crisp sounds.
This commotion attracted the attention of etiquette-trained nobles nearby, who were curious to see who displayed such uncouth manners, constantly causing their utensils to collide with their plates.
As a Zerg, Davies possessed heightened sensitivity to the surrounding environment, promptly detecting the numerous gazes directed towards him. However, he didn’t perceive any threatening intentions behind those stares. Ignoring the onlookers, he focused on the task at hand—cutting the steak on his plate.
Amused by his earnest yet clumsy attempts, Mi Lu couldn’t help but find it endearing. She suggested, “Let me assist you!”
After a moment of consideration, Davies agreed and allowed her to lend a helping hand.
With Mi Lu’s guidance, Davies finally indulged in the long-awaited taste of ancient cuisine. His emerald eyes sparkled with satisfaction, resembling crescent moons in the night sky, enhancing the gentle beauty of his exquisite face.
“Such a captivating young man, surpassing even the mermaids I keep!” A dashing young nobleman locked his gaze onto Davies and whispered to his companion sitting across from him.
The other nobleman also took notice of Davies and nodded in agreement. “Indeed, more captivating than a mermaid.”
Receiving affirmation, the young nobleman grew even more enthralled. He could barely contain his excitement and exclaimed to his companion in a fervent tone, “Imagine the ultimate pleasure I’d experience if I were to bring him home and keep him captive, ensuring his affection for me each night! ”
Aware that his companion possessed unconventional tastes, the nobleman had previously indulged in rearing a few exquisite mermaids. However, it was only now that he discovered his companion’s interest in captivating young individuals.
Shaking his head, the nobleman responded, “I’m afraid I don’t quite comprehend. I apologize.”
The aristocratic young master, aware of his companion’s somewhat traditional mindset, remained silent. He could only lament, “You’re truly dull in your thinking.. Watch as I conquer this young man tonight, making him smile for me every day henceforth!”
