Chapter 114: The King of Pingyang with a Different Surname
Zhou Huaian was stunned, as if he had heard the most inconceivable thing. Had Princess Zi Ji spoken to someone? Did Princess Zi Ji want to eat something? And with a stranger, no less! What in the world was happening?
She moved closer, her petite nose sniffing at the roasted meat. Its fragrance was enveloping and refreshing to the senses. She then tilted her head and asked, "It smells so good. How did you do it?"
Zhou Huaian began to question his very existence. In the past, even when facing the Emperor, the ancestors of the Martial God lineage, or even the Tianxuan Saintess, Princess Zi Ji would, at most, utter just one sentence. But now, in front of a stranger, she not only initiated conversation but also spoke a second sentence.
"Spices. Have you heard of them?" Chen Pingping asked with a smile.
"No."
"Then have a taste."
"Okay!" She replied, very docile.
She tore off a tiny piece of meat from the stick and took a small bite. A delicious fragrance immediately wafted from it. Princess Zi Ji’s eyes lit up. She picked up the stick and began to heartily devour the meat.
Zhou Huaian was speechless.
Oh my god! He could hardly believe his eyes. Was this really Princess Zi Ji? Where was your aloofness? How did it disappear? When had Princess Zi Ji ever eaten like this? So ungracefully! And to have spoken so much to a stranger! Truth be told, the fragrance was strong, and he was getting a little tempted himself. However, he didn’t act rashly. If there was something wrong with the food, he could intervene at the first sign of trouble.
About ten minutes later, the first skewer of meat was finished. Princess Zi Ji wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and, with lingering satisfaction, asked, "Can I have some more?"
Chen Pingping laughed. "Of course!"
