Chapter 276 - 32: Elves
The next morning, the king of Cangdu came knocking on Lu Hong’s door with Xixi in tow, "Is Baron Lu awake? Are you up, Baron Lu? Are you having breakfast, Baron Lu?"
Lu Hong: ...
"I’m awake!" Speechless, Lu Hong exited his meditative state, splashed his face with water, and after a quick wash, opened the door. Right in front of him were the smiling faces of the king of Cangdu and a blushing Xixi—God knows what nonsensical things the old man had been telling her.
"Baron Lu, join us for breakfast."
"Alright."
No sooner had he spoken than a myriad of delicacies were brought forth by the maids, filling the square table in Lu Hong’s room to the brim.
"Come, eat," said the king, sparing no extra words, as he laid out the finest foods of Cangdu before Lu Hong, "Not knowing what you like, I simply chose a few specialties."
Lu Hong picked up a piece of soft pastry, like an egg in texture. Honestly, he had always loved this kind of food, the softer the better, but the kind that melts in your mouth wasn’t his preference.
Taking a bite, a fragrant taste filled his mouth.
Seeing Lu Hong captivated by the food, the king hurriedly winked at Xixi for her to speak, but poor Xixi, with her face still red, couldn’t utter a word for the longest time.
