While everyone was waiting.

Li Yang finally stopped his actions, turned off the fire, and covered the pot.

When he opened it again, a light smoke accompanied by an incomparably rich fragrance instantly drifted in all directions!

“I’ll go!”

The moment the fragrance rushed into the room, the initially unconcerned Jia Feiyu suddenly stopped.

Fatty’s stomach had just stopped growling, but it suddenly started growling again. The other three people immediately turned their heads and looked at the kitchen in disbelief.

What was this? Why did it suddenly smell so good?

Under everyone’s shocked gazes.

Five bowls of golden egg fried rice, which looked like golden beads rolling down and covered in golden clouds, were placed in front of everyone.

Looking at the exquisite and seemingly flawless golden egg fried rice, the five people sitting there swallowed their saliva in unison.

“Junior brother’s cooking skills have surprised me.”

Jia Feiyu, sitting at the head of the table, resisted the urge to start eating immediately. He turned his head to look at Li Yang and revealed a friendly smile.

When the others saw this, they were secretly criticizing him in their hearts. He said he would quickly finish eating and return, but now he still had time to talk to him.

However, they were all Jia Feiyu’s lackeys. No matter how much they complained, they didn’t dare to touch their chopsticks if Jia Feiyu didn’t move. They were getting increasingly anxious as their eyes were fixed on the egg-fried rice on the table.

“Senior brother, I really can’t take it anymore. Can I have a taste first? I’m starving.”

Fatty sniffed the fragrance that entered his nose. Ultimately, he couldn’t hold it in and raised his head, his tone full of pleading.

“You can eat.”

Jia Feiyu’s brows furrowed as he looked at his underling’s pitiful appearance and nodded helplessly.

“Many thanks, senior brother!”

Fatty slapped his thigh excitedly and picked up his chopsticks impatiently. He used his hand to pinch the rice and egg roughly and immediately took a big mouthful.

The other three people stared at Fatty’s actions, watching him put the egg-fried rice into his mouth.

“Mm!”

In the next moment, Fatty seemed to have eaten some elixir. He closed his eyes abruptly, and his cheeks bulged as he chewed.

The incomparably smooth texture and rich fragrance exploded on Fatty’s tongue!

The spiritual energy in the spiritual rice seemed to have a life of its own as it danced on the tip of his tongue. The egg was smooth and tender without any extra oil or fish, which reminded the disciple of the high-grade spiritual beast meat he had once eaten at the foot of the mountain.

No!

Even the high-grade spirit beast’s meat from before wasn’t as fragrant as this egg!

What did I eat before? Why? Why did I only know that such a thing can be consumed now?

Fatty, who used to gobble up his food like a wolf, was now carefully controlling his movements and savoring the fragrance of every grain of spiritual rice!

Under everyone’s dumbfounded gazes.

It was just a mouthful of rice, but Fatty took dozens of bites before he swallowed it.

“Ah!”

When the egg-fried rice was in his stomach, he took a long breath, and his eyes were already misty.

At this moment, Fatty suddenly felt extremely fortunate that he had received this patrol mission today. Otherwise, how could he have the opportunity to come here and eat such a mouthful of egg-fried rice?

“I miss my mother.”

After putting down his chopsticks, Fatty leaned back slightly and licked his lips. His eyes were filled with longing and satisfaction.

“After this meal, I will never go to Bei Chi Feng’s cafeteria again!

I was listening to Fatty’s words.

The desire in the other three’s eyes became even more intense. They lowered their heads and looked at the egg-fried rice before them.

What kind of magic did this rice have?

To make this fellow, who usually loved to eat, say that he would never go to the Northern Scarlet peak cafeteria again!

Even the dragon’s liver and phoenix’s marrow in the sky would probably only have this effect!

“Fatty … Fatty, does it taste that good?”

The disciple sitting next to Fatty stammered as he asked. It was as if his eyes had grown into the rice before him.

“If I die of old age one day, I wish to have another mouthful of egg-fried rice!”

Hearing the man’s question, Fatty answered without hesitation.

“Hiss!”

The crowd gasped and looked at Jia Feiyu.

“Hmph, how embarrassing. When we get back, don’t tell anyone that you’re saying such things because of a stammer. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

Jia Feiyu snorted and waved his hand impatiently.

“Long live, senior brother!”

The next moment, Fatty picked up his chopsticks without hesitation and lifted the bowl with his other hand. He then started to stuff the egg-fried rice into his mouth.

That posture was not eating but drinking!

The other three no longer hesitated, but they still had to care about their faces. They picked up their chopsticks, picked up the egg-fried rice, and put it into their mouths.

Then, the three of them closed their eyes simultaneously and let out a long breath.

When this mouthful of rice was in their stomachs, the so-called face was immediately thrown to the back of their minds. They picked up the bowl with their other hand, and their other hand turned into a shadow as they frantically pulled the food into their mouths.

For a moment, the room was only left with the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl, and the sound of people taking a deep breath from time to time, then exclaiming that it was delicious, and then immediately burying their heads in the rice again.

“I’ve lived in vain; I’ve lived in vain before!”

“Delicious, delicious!”

“I miss my mother!”

Looking at the few of them sweeping the floor in a refined manner, Jia Feiyu’s hands under the table couldn’t help but tremble.

At this moment, only one thought was left in Jia Feiyu’s mind. How much egg-fried rice did they eat to make these guys like this?

However, as a young master from a well-to-do family, to maintain his image, Jia Feiyu desperately resisted the urge to taste it no matter how curious he was. He only cupped his hands at Li Yang, seemingly casually, “Junior Brother, you must be joking. These guys don’t have much knowledge.”

“Senior brothers, what are you saying? The way you eat is the best way to commend a chef.”

Li Yang said with a smile.

“Ai …”

Jia Feiyu sighed and no longer looked at the egg-fried rice on the table.

It wasn’t that Jia Feiyu wasn’t hungry, but he was afraid that he would become like the others. Unlike the desire for food, Jia Feiyu cared more about his face.

“Hu! It’s delicious; it’s too delicious!”

In just a short while, Fatty had put down the bowl. The bowl was so smooth and clean that it seemed to be able to reflect a human face.

The other three also put down their bowls and licked their lips as if they had not had enough.

The four of them looked at each other. At this moment, the four of them, who had a good relationship, almost instantly understood each other’s gaze.

One after another, scorching and greedy gazes turned around, focusing on the steaming egg-fried rice in front of Jia Feiyu!
