I am the emperor of Mengwang

Soon it was noon.

Looking at the sun above his head, Rimuru wiped the sweat from his little face.

"Benimaru, Gobuta, stop working and go back to have lunch."

Rimuru shouted to Gobuta and Benimaru who were still laying mines.

After taking a look at the sun above his head, Hongwan stopped what he was doing.

"Okay, everyone stop and go back to eat."

As soon as Gobuta heard the word "eat", he threw his hoe away, lay on the ground and complained.

"It's finally over. Let's go for lunch."

……………………………………………………………

Lunch time, in the hall.

Benimaru, Souei, Hakuro, Gobuta and a few others gathered together.

Several people sat on both sides of the dark red table.

"Benimaru, where are Rimuru-sama and Morax-sama?"

Bai Lao asked Hong Wan.

"I don't know either. Rimuru-sama said he would be here soon after packing up, and I haven't seen Morax-sama all day."

Benimaru shook his head and said.

"But, Rimuru-sama told us to eat first and not wait for her."

Benimaru added.

At this time, Gobuta complained.

"How long until dinner? I'm so hungry."

Gobuta leaned back in his chair and tapped the table in boredom.

"Gurgle, gurgle." He touched his stomach. His stomach kept growling and he was very hungry.

It was only then that Hong Wan realized a problem.

"By the way, where did Shion go?"

Hong Wan asked Bai Lao a question.

"I don't know either. I just saw her rushing out. Maybe she had something urgent to do."

Mr. Bai said he didn't know either.

"I know, I know. I just saw Sister Ziyuan go into the back room."

At this time, Gobuta said hurriedly.

"Oh, you went into the back room? I thought so."

When Mr. Bai heard the news, he first poured himself a cup of tea.

"By the way, what is the back room used for?"

Old Bai asked slowly, picking up the teacup and just about to take a sip.

"I don't know."

Benimaru shook his head.

"What else could it be used for? Isn't it just a place for cooking?"

Gobta says he knows.

"Oh, the place where we cook!"

After hearing this, Mr. Bai took a sip of tea first.

"Pfft. What did you say? The cooking place. Shion went in."

Bai Lao sprayed the tea directly onto Gobuta's face.

“Master, what are you doing? Besides, aren’t you talking nonsense? Today, Rimuru-sama called Sister Shuna out, so didn’t he ask Sister Shion to cook?”

At this time, Gobuta did not understand the seriousness of the problem.

Hong Wan, who was drinking water at the side, turned pale when he heard the news. Even the hand holding the water cup trembled unconsciously.

Is it Shion who is cooking?

At this moment, Hongwan felt that he was facing the biggest crisis in history, which concerned his life.

Who was so smart as to let Ziyuan into the kitchen without knowing the consequences? If he finds out, I will reward him with a shot of Black Flame Prison.

Hongwan, the young master of the Great Demon Clan, and Shion came from the same village. To be honest, they had been friends since childhood. He didn't know Shion's skills yet.

Neither he nor Bai Laozhucai should say that everyone in the village knew how terrible her cooking was.

It can be said without hesitation that it can eat anything and is never picky about food. As long as there is water, it can even eat tree bark. After the black guard ate the meal made by Ziyuan once, he went to the medicine shop and was kept there for an unknown period of time.

After that, he would not eat anything cooked by Shion, even if it was tree bark.

It is enough to show how terrifying it is.

That's simply not food. How could any food be so lethal?

If used on the battlefield, it would be a biological weapon that would be more effective than poison.

Even Souei, who was standing by, couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing the news, as if he was thinking of a reason to run away.

Gobuta, who knew nothing, was confused when he saw this scene.

"What's with everyone's expressions? Is it because Shion's cooking is delicious? Then I'd like to eat more."

Gobuta made up his mind secretly.

..................................................................

At this time, Rimuru, unaware of the impending crisis, was happily humming a little tune as he walked towards this side.

"Today is a good day, today is a good day, the sun is so bright!"

"I guess Shion has already prepared the meal by now."

"It seems like Shion can cook. I'm looking forward to her cooking skills."

"That's right, I don't know where Ali has gone. Never mind, when Ali comes back I will definitely show off the delicious food I ate."

"Ah, I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get."

Why was Rimuru so happy? Of course, it was because Rimuru had just discovered a special monster. After capturing it, she finally got the characteristic she had always dreamed of, which was taste. How could he not be happy with such good news? Because she could finally taste those delicacies.

At this moment, Mo Li, who was drinking tea in the pavilion he created with rock elements, suddenly sneezed.

“Who’s thinking about me?”

Mo Li touched his nose and muttered to himself.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Then Mo Li picked up the teapot made of golden nanmu wood on the rock table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Mo Li picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"One person, one cup of tea, one view to enjoy for a day, this is life!"

Mo Li couldn't help but sigh.

He sat on the pavilion, his eyes unconsciously looking towards the mountains and forests not far away. It was bright daytime, but Mo Li's back was filled with a sense of loneliness.

..................................................................

"His great aunt."

Rimuru walked into the hall and greeted everyone.

“Greetings, Lord Rimuru.”

“Greetings, Lord Rimuru.”

"Meet Rimuru-sama."

“Hello, Rimuru-sama.”

The last one who stood out from the crowd was Chao Yong's younger brother. They were about to stand up and kneel down to greet Rimuru.

Rimuru waved his hand to say no.

Rimuru doesn't like these empty words. In Rimuru's opinion, we are all family, why do these things?

"Rimuru-sama is back."

Ziyuan in the back room heard the sound and popped her head out from the back room.

"Yes, I'm back."

Seeing Shion's expression as if she was a great cook, Rimuru was delighted. He thought he was in for a treat today and said to Shion happily.

Rimuru then looked around the hall, but could not find the person he wanted to see the most.

"Forget it. If I can't find it, then I can't find it. I'll just eat Ali's portion as well today."

Rimuru’s joy of gaining the sense of taste was slightly dissipated, but he became happy again when he thought of the delicious food.
