Chapter 52 [Journey to the West Dimension] Tomato Enters the Palace



It has a sweet taste and is juicy and refreshing.

Apart from Wei Zheng, who had already eaten, everyone present showed a hint of joy on their faces.

It is indeed a rare and excellent product.

"Your Majesty, although Madam Xu is somewhat unruly in her actions, she is a kind person."

Wei Zheng, seemingly remembering something, suddenly brought up the snow disaster of the year before last:

"I heard from the wandering spirits in the underworld that Madam Xu played a great role in the resettlement of refugees after the snow disaster in Chang'an. She donated a lot of white quilts and grain from foreign lands. She also asked the Bodhisattva's disciple, Sudhana, to subdue the troublesome beast. In my opinion, this person has many exotic creatures, which are of great benefit to our Great Tang."

The Tang Emperor frowned slightly: "Is that really so?"

"That's really the case."

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.

The palace fell silent again, the emperor and his minister facing each other in silence. Suddenly, the young concubine serving by the side raised her eyes, her eyes full of curiosity about the "Lady Xu".

"Glug glug glug—"

Inside the giant cauldron, which was as tall as a person, was half-filled with hot water. A group of fire spirits gathered around a patch of phoenix fire, which burned fiercely, making the bottom of the bronze cauldron, which was at least three inches thick, turn slightly red.

Xu Milu stood to the side with her hands on her hips, directing Chen Xiang to throw some scallion segments and ginger slices into the cauldron while she used a mithril cleaver to cut off the head of the earth dragon's corpse.

Brown vines took root on the dragon's neck, and large, bloodthirsty roses slowly bloomed. Dai Zi stared at the flower sac filled with the dragon's blood, drooling—in this scene, if someone suddenly barged in, they would probably think it was some kind of large-scale murder and dismemberment scene.
