Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

The Black Dragon Star is the Emperor Star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. It is said that the emperor killed an immortal black dragon from the demon race on a battlefield outside the domain, brought its body back to the human race, obtained the territory and was crowned emperor, and even turned the black dragon's body into nutrients and scattered it on the Emperor Star. Therefore, there are many sub-dragon beasts on the Black Dragon Star, and people have domesticated them into a means of transportation, which is a major feature of the Emperor Star.

At this time, Xue Xi and Man Luo were standing on a dragon falcon, traveling through the atmosphere of the Black Dragon Star. Man Luo stood on the falcon's head with his hands behind his back. His loose and gorgeous robe rustled in the wind. Ignoring his green skin, he really had the charm of a Chinese immortal.

Xue Xi used her telekinesis to protect herself tightly. If she let her waist-length chestnut hair be blown by the strong wind from high altitude, her hair would probably cover her face and damage her image.

The white cloud was torn apart beside Long Falcon, and the huge city below appeared in his eyes. Man Luo introduced it to Xue Xi: "This Zuo Qian City is the most prosperous city on Black Dragon Star besides the Imperial Capital. It is the concentration of the cosmic forces on Black Dragon Star. Our company's branch in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is also here. There are Black Dragon Royal Family troops responsible for public security here. You will live here for the next three years."

The dragon falcon swooped down towards Zuoqian City carrying the two people and stopped at the riding area at the city gate. The leader of the Territory Lord City Guards at the city gate came up to greet them and said to Manluo respectfully, "Master Manluo, you are back. The Qingfeng Villa you asked for has been packed up. This is the identity code. Just bind it."

Manluo took the transparent crystal card from the leader without changing his expression, and turned to hand it to Xuexi who was looking around: "Here, this is the residence prepared for you. Just integrate it into the optical brain, and your smart phone can access it after the address and identity are authenticated."

Xue Xi withdrew her gaze and placed the crystal card on the optical computer on her wrist. The physical card turned into a data stream and naturally merged into it. After a moment, the optical computer could only map a scenic manor in Xue Xi's mind. It was grand and beautiful, and looked very valuable. Now it was hers. Xue Xi thanked Man Luo gratefully.

Man Luo, on the other hand, looked nonchalant. After waving his hand to let the leader leave, he approached Xue Xi mysteriously and said, "Girl, if you really want to thank me, give me a piece of dried fruit. It will be of great use to me."

Xue Xi took out a bunch of candied fruits made from various fruits and stuffed them into Man Luo's mouth: "It's candied fruits. I have a lot of them. I'll give them to you. Use them freely."

Man Luo was shocked. She took out one of the dried mango pieces and pushed the rest back: "Put it away quickly! I can't be greedy for this treasure that can purify the soul. You still don't learn your lesson. Don't show off your wealth. If you auction this one, it will be conservatively estimated to be several thousand Hunyuan units. You know, even if you are crowned as an immortal king, the price is only this much. You better be careful!"

Facing Manluo's persuasion, Xuexi tilted her head and said, "Treasures? I still have several warehouses full of these things. Oh, just take them. I won't expose them again until it is absolutely safe. These are my gifts to you. I'll trouble you to take care of them in the next few years!"

The fact that Manluo remained calm in the face of such wealth and instead persuaded herself showed what kind of person she was. Xuexi also knew that the connections and interests between people were the most solid. She would inevitably have to trouble others in the next few years. It was impossible to expect others to help her wholeheartedly just by relying on a little relationship.

Finally, Manluo still "reluctantly" accepted this huge fortune. However, judging from his previously calm mouth that was now grinning from ear to ear, it seemed that he did not regard money as dirt. Xue Xi secretly sighed in her heart.

Afterwards, the two separated at the city gate. Xue Xi went to her own villa, while Man Luo carefully put most of the dried fruits and preserves into the kingdom of God. Then, with a gloomy face, she flew to the imperial capital with the dried mangoes.

In the Imperial Prime Minister's Residence, Li Yian couldn't help but shudder in his heart as he looked at Manluo and the Emperor in front of him, having a bad premonition.

Man Luo said to Li Yian with a smile: "Brother Li, I got a delicious snack a few days ago, only two. After eating one, I thought of your hard work for the empire, so I left one for you to try."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of yellow dried mango. The white icing on it was as crystal clear as snow, and it really looked like an ordinary food.

But Li Yian had something on his mind. He laughed a few times and waved his hand, saying, "I am very pleased that you, Manluo, have this kind heart. But you should take it back. I am old and don't like sweet things."

Man Luo sneered: "It only takes a moment for your immortal body to become younger. Why are you pretending in front of me?"

Man Luo's sudden change of expression made Li Yian stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "You old man, you are so vulgar! Your Majesty, look at this guy, an outsider from the Virtual Universe Company is bullying your ministers like this!"

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor, who had been silent the whole time, had a gloomy face. The powerful aura of being crowned as an immortal king overwhelmed Li Yian, and he squeezed out a few words from the corner of his mouth: "Eat it for me!"

Li Yian's heart trembled at this moment, thinking to himself, could it be that he was exposed? However, after carefully checking the dried mango, he found that there was nothing abnormal. Under the pressure of the emperor, he closed his eyes and put the dried mango into his mouth.

He thought it was something disgusting, but afterwards, the aroma of mango and the sweet taste of candied fruit icing exploded in his taste buds, making his divine body composed of laws unable to help but secrete saliva, and he swallowed the dried mango with reluctance.

There's nothing else to it besides being delicious? Could it be that Manluo and the emperor were joking with him? Li Yian thought as he savored the taste.

The next moment, a strange energy spread from the digested stomach to the soul in the brain. A colorful insect mark on the soul's forehead was wrapped by this energy, like snow meeting a branding iron, and it was cut open instantly, disappearing after a moment.

After being at a loss for a moment, Li Yian, whose memory and personality were regained, was shaken violently. Tears streamed from his old eyes. He prostrated himself before the emperor, knocking his forehead repeatedly on his folded arms, howling in pain: "Your Majesty, I am so sorry!"

Manluo did not laugh at the emperor as he said, but sighed deeply, walked out, and looked out at the starry sky, as if he had seen the fighting on the battlefield outside the domain across countless light years: While you are fighting outside, we who are inside finally have a magic weapon to stabilize the sea!

On the other side, Xue Xi came to Qingfeng Villa in the picture. The security personnel of the manor left after confirming her identity. Xue Xi strolled among the green plants, occasionally seeing some unfamiliar fruits, and dragon butterflies flying freely among them.

A breeze blew by, and Xue Xi's white skirt fluttered, suppressing her flying hair. Xue Xi looked at the castle in the center and smiled: This will be my home for the next three years, it looks pretty good.
