Becoming The Food God In This Cultivation World

Smack!

A loud slap echoed in a quiet room, and a figure was sent flying two or three meters before crashing heavily onto the ground.

The figure struggled to lift its head, one cheek swollen high, but his identity could still be clearly recognized from his facial features.

The Star Luo Empire Eldest Prince, Dai Tonghua.

A figure like a fierce tiger slowly walked up to Dai Tonghua, looking down at him lying on the ground.

“Useless! You are more likely to cause trouble than to achieve anything.”

“Father.” Dai Tonghua spoke softly, unable to help but lower his head.

“If it weren’t for the competition in a few days, I would have killed you on the spot, you fool.” Dai Yuansheng glared fiercely at his eldest son, then turned and sat back in the armchair in the quiet room.

“Get out. Stay in the palace for these two days and practice quietly. Don’t embarrass me anymore!”

“Yes.” Dai Tonghua got up from the ground and muttered quietly, then turned and walked out of the room. The palm of his hand was already bleeding from the nails being pressed too hard, but he was oblivious to it.

Dai Yuansheng leaned back in the ornate armchair, rubbing his temples vigorously.

Last night, he sent Dai Tonghua to the Starlight Auction House mainly to buy a 100.000 Years Spirit Bone, but unexpectedly, this fool started a fight with people from Shrek Academy due to a moment of anger, not only losing face but also causing a bigger loss. As a result, no one from the royal family participated in the climax of the auction.

In the end, this 100.000 Years Torso Spirit Bone fell into someone else’s hands.

And the third climax item turned out to be another 100.000 Years Spirit Bone, this time a Head Spirit Bone.

This made Dai Yuansheng almost vomit blood with anger.

“Starlight Auction House….” Dai Yuansheng’s hand slowly clenched, leaving deep scratches on the armrest of the chair.

Such a valuable item was not handed over to the empire but sold to outsiders. It’s truly unforgivable!

Moreover, the Starlight Auction House is related to Xu Changling. It’s hard to say that this matter wasn’t instructed by him.

This Prime Minister has never been on the same page with him, Dai Yuansheng is also clear. Xu Chanling is close friends with his brother who were originally should have been the current Emperor.

Even though he has tried to extend an olive branch toward Xu Chanling several times after ascending the throne, trying to mend his relationship with the Prime Minister, just like his idea of tampering with the Tournament, Xu Changling never budged, giving him no face at all.

Damn it!

This guy is as stubborn as his never-dying brother!

“Second Prime Minister Zhao.”

A figure slowly emerged from the dark door of the quiet room, bowing to Dai Yuansheng, “Your Majesty.”

Zhao Qu, the Second Prime Minister of the Empire, is the second in command of the Ministry of Governance, second only to Xu Changling, and He is also Dai Yuansheng’s confidant.

Dai Yuansheng’s gaze fell on his most trusted subordinate, then slowly withdrew his gaze. “You already know the situation. Xu Changling seems to have seen through our intentions and insists on not agreeing to manipulate the results of the competition in secret. At this critical moment, with Tonghua making such a big mistake, how should our plan be implemented?”

Zhao Qu has always served as Dai Yuansheng’s strategist. At this moment, hearing Dai Yuansheng’s words, he bowed his head in contemplation, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

Dai Yuansheng wants to plan for making the Eldest Prince as the next Emperor, to firmly establish his position as the next in line for the throne, and to leave no chance for Dai Youyuan, the commander of the Eastern Army, to become the next Emperor Zhao Qu, on the other hand, is also constantly coveting Xu Changling’s position as Prime Minister.

“Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt. At this point, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince to become the Crown Prince by earning public reputation.”

“At present, we can only start from another direction. Since we cannot smoothly make the Eldest Prince into the Crown Prince, let’s eliminate all other hopes and leave the ministers with no choice but to turn him into the Crown Prince!”

Dai Yuansheng’s pupils contracted slightly, giving Zhao Qu a deep look, “Are you suggesting we kill Dai Youyuan?”

The vague attitude of the ministers actually stems from the late Emperor. In their view, Dai Youyuan, the original candidate for the Emperor, who is loved by both the ministry and the people, is the most suitable candidate for the throne. Dai Yuansheng’s ascent to the throne has already made many ministers and civilians dissatisfied, so they have been procrastinating on the issue of forcing Dai Tonghua into becoming the Crown Prince.

However, if there is no Dai Youyuan, the ministers will have no other choice but to reluctantly let Dai Tonghua become the Crown Prince.

“My suggestion is not just about Dai Youyuan,” Zhao Qu’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, “Xu Changling has always opposed Your Majesty, and he is very close to him. I think, why not kill two birds with one stone and eliminate both of them.”

“Oh?” Dai Yuansheng’s eyes lit up.

If there was no Xu Changling, he could naturally promote Zhao Qu to Prime Minister, making the Prime Minister his confidant. With both of them working together, his power would increase. This was a good thing.

Although Zhao Qu’s suggestion undoubtedly had his own selfish motives, Dai Yuansheng didn’t care. As long as it served his interests, what harm was a little selfishness?

“Explain in detail,” Dai Yuansheng became interested.

“Your Majesty, we can dispatch Dai Youtuan Army to Dongji Town. From his Army’s base to Dongji Town, they must pass through the Dongji Great Rift. At that time, we can set up an ambush in the Great Rift and assassinate him.”

A cold light flashed in Zhao Qu’s eyes. “Recently, there have been some movements on the Heaven Dou border. We can use this as a reason to dispatch his army. Xu Changling won’t find any faults, and there is no reason to object. But we can secretly leak a bit of information about the assassination of the Prince of Zhendong to him, forcing him to oppose the order to deploy troops. Then we can use this as a reason to take him down.”

This was his specialty, turning small matters into big ones, framing people with accusations. When Xu Changling was accused of relaxing the border and colluding with the Heaven Dou Empire, even if he didn’t die, he would lose some skin.

Why has Xu Changling been able to sit securely as Prime Minister for so many years?

It’s because he’s too smooth, leaving no trace behind, making it difficult for anyone to catch him.

As long as Zhao Qu could find even a tiny bit of evidence against him, he had plenty of ways to bring him down.

“After taking down Xu Changling, there will be no one in the Ministry of Governance who can oppose me. Naturally, we can smoothly pass on the order to deploy troops to his Army, and then ambush and assassinate him!”

It had to be said that Zhao Qu’s plan was extremely malicious. In order to eliminate his political opponents, he didn’t hesitate to sacrifice the elite soldiers of the empire.

The army that Dai Youyuan led was the empire’s strongest army, it’s the backbone of the Star Luo Empire, they are the troops that are used in the Empire’s most important battle.

If a rational monarch were here, he would have ordered for Zhao Qu’s execution. But Dai Yuansheng’s eyes were gleaming with joy instead.

“Good, let’s do as you say!”

As long as he could secure his throne, so what if he lost the Star Luo Empire’s strongest army? There are millions of people living in the Star Luo Empire, he can just draft some people into the army and put them into hellish training!

After enjoying the hotpot, the Qin sisters finally felt satisfied.

God knows how much they craved it last night, and now they finally tasted the deliciousness of hotpot.

The hotpot was even more delicious than they had imagined. The boss was amazing. This self-cooked eating method would definitely become popular in the Star Luo Empire!

Qi Han patted his belly, faced with the admiring faces of the two girls, he remained calm, and looked at the customers waiting outside. A smile appeared on his face.

“Go and open the door, let’s start business!”
