Hearing Yang Mi's voice, Li Xiang's heart warmed up. He immediately stood up and walked over.
"Why did you come here in person? Just leave such a small matter to others!"
"I'm just afraid that if I don't bring it over personally, you won't even remember to eat. Do you still feel hungry now? How long has it been since you had your last meal?"
Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard Yang Mi's words.
As if he was suddenly awake, he instantly recalled the changes he had undergone during this period of time.
As he comprehended more and more Laws, his strength grew stronger and stronger. Food had long become dispensable to him.
In his previous life, when he was describing the poor in his hometown, he would always use the word "northwest wind" to describe them, meaning they were so poor that they could only use wind as food. But now, in reality, he only needed to take a few breaths to fill his stomach for an entire day. It was not an exaggeration at all.
However, as a human, how could he forget to eat?
"Thank you for your reminder, my dear consort. Otherwise, We would have almost forgotten that I still need to eat!"
"Don't get attached! I'm not your dear consort, and you call yourself We? Are you the emperor or a god now? All you do is fight and kill all day long, and you're not even diligent in governing the country!"
Yang Mi's complaints made Li Xiang a little happy. He reached out and put his arm around her waist. "Coug, these are all minor details. This is a transcendent world, after all. It's meaningless to make up some title like an emperor. Not to mention those foreign races, which of those true Gods had ever been an Emperor? This means that if you want to become a God, you can't do it with all the trifles bugging you!"

"Eh? Where's the food by Chef Chen you mentioned?"
"Of course, I can't bring it here to eat! The food and wine have been set up in the back garden. Let's go over now!" Yang Mi pulled Li Xiang away and left the meeting hall.
Not long after, Li Xiang saw four beautiful women waiting for him in the pavilion in the garden.
At the same time, a burst of strange fragrance entered his nose.
"Looks like not only are we going to have a good meal today, but our eyes are also in for a feast!"
Zhou Yutong, Ning Xiaoyue, Tong Qingya, and Chen Shu had all dressed up meticulously today. Each of them was radiant and eye-catching.
Outside the pavilion, Master Chef Chen Tao, who was wearing an apron, looked over with a smile.
Li Xiang didn't see this man a lot. Most of the time, he was busy in the kitchen.
"It's an honor to see you, Country Lord!"
"Alright, let's put away the formalities. We've known each other since the Trial World, and it seems like many years have passed in the blink of an eye, but in reality, it's only been half a year."
"It is indeed my greatest honor to be granted a visit by the Country Lord!"
"Don't be so serious. If it wasn't for you managing the food in the palace, I would have long forgotten about the delicacies of the world, and I would have lost a lot of aura as a man!" Li Xiang shook his head.
Chen Tao wasn't the kind of person who would flatter others. After a few exchanges of pleasantries, he directly said, "Country Lord, should the dishes be served now?"
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Yes! I'm going to have a taste of your cooking now!"
Li Xiang didn't have any gimmicks by pretending to look like an approachable person or inviting him to eat with him. After all, their difference in status was indeed huge. Although he wasn't the kind of person who put on airs, he still had to follow the rules.
Soon, four dishes were served.
The dishes were served by four very beautiful girls, all of whom looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. their movements were elegant and neat, and their steps were steady. it was obvious that they were all cultivators.
"Are these the maids of your own selecting?" Li Xiang asked, a little surprised.
"Mm! They are all orphan girls with no relatives. They had good aptitudes, talent, and character, and were selected from various cities. But you don't want to make a move on them. They came here under a contract. After a certain period of time, they will leave and get married, not for you to choose a servant girl from!"
Li Xiang laughed. "I have five beautiful concubines. How can I have the heart to look for other women?"
Zhou Yutong smiled and said, "That can't be right. I think all those angels have the potential to become the lady-in-charge here. Can you promise that you have no feelings for them?"
These words left Li Xiang speechless.
When he first met Night Light, Kyla, Mia, Alice, and even Alicia, he already had some thoughts about them. However, the situation was critical at that time, so he suppressed these thoughts in his heart, afraid that they would leave a bad impression on them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut later, he realized that his caution and self-discipline made the angels very unhappy. They even started to tease him from time to time. Only then did he realize that these angels could really be included in his harem.
However, he already had Yang Mi and the others at that time, so he gave up.
Be that as it might, as time passed, he thought that one day, he might really take them into his harem.
However, he had always kept this thought to himself. He didn't know when Yang Mi and the others notice it.
Seeing Li Xiang's confused expression, Ning Xiaoyue snorted and said, "Are you wondering how we know this? Hmph, the way men look at women is different. The way you looked at those maids was completely different from the way you looked at those angels, but it's very similar to the way you looked at us. This shows that you have impure intentions toward those women!"
"Cough, cough, what do you mean impure intentions? They're my people. They only exist if I exist!"
Yang Mi watched with a smile and didn't say anything. She waited for Ning Xiaoyue to finish before interrupting, "Alright, alright. I called him over today to taste some good food. If you guys are giving him a hard time and scaring him away, you'll be in for a good cry."
Li Xiang glanced at Yang Mi. Now he realized both Zhou Yutong and Ning Xiaoyue's words were trying to get Yang Mi involved.
However, he just couldn't say anything to rebuff her. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the Palace drama is about to begin now?"
However, Yang Mi didn't give him any time to think. She pushed a plate of food in front of him and said, "This is called Heavenly Fragrance Arowana. Chef Chen said that eating it can increase the power of the body, increase strength, and help to condense HP. Try it!"
Li Xiang looked at the golden shimmering food in front of him. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
At first, he didn't think it would be too amazing. However, as soon as it entered his mouth, his eyes widened. He felt a rich aroma exploding on his taste buds. At the same time, the fish meat turned into a strange vitality that traveled through his body, condensing his HP. His muscles became more compact, and his strength began to increase significantly.
In his shock, the awkwardness of being questioned by the girls disappeared in an instant. His chopsticks flew as he began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Yang Mi, Zhou Yutong, and the others looked at each other, and a hint of a smile flashed in their eyes.
They wanted to use this opportunity to express their thoughts. The harem was so big, and they didn't care about having more people join them if they got to take charge, which was agreed upon in the first place.
