Phil's smile froze, and the upward curve of his lips slowly slid down.
Bikkale Island is really lucky.
He tilted his head back and finished the wine in his glass, then left his seat.
His departure went unnoticed by anyone.
Luo Qingxin relaxed a little, but she was still a little worried about the situation in the kitchen.
I don't know if I can finish it within this limited time.
One by one, dishes from each island were served, and after the three islands, it was Biga Island's turn.
Luo Qingxin slowly clenched her fist into one, her hand resting on her lap.
Xiao Tao hasn't come yet, which means they haven't completed their mission.
There's only one more island left for them.
After the island manager finished introducing their cuisine, the waiter came out and invited the next island manager to the stage.
"Next up is a feast from Bikkara Island. Please welcome the representative from Bikkara Island to the stage for an introduction."
After saying that, the waiter left.
Luo Qingxin closed her eyes; in the end, they were too late.
Luo Qingxin calmed herself down, slowly stood up, and prepared to walk onto the stage.
A figure was faster than her, jogging onto the stage.
Then, each of her guards carried a dish and placed it on the table on each island.
Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, took a deep breath, adjusted her facial expression slightly, and began to introduce the delicacies of Bijia Island.
Ten minutes later, Shen Zhiyi returned to her seat and immediately slumped onto the table.
"I'm so tired."
Luo Qingxin had already taken her seat when Shen Zhiyi rushed onto the stage.
She smiled as she looked at Shen Zhiyi on the stage introducing the delicacies of Bijia Island, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
They seem to owe Miss Shen a lot more than Jiale Island does.
And this time, it was only because of Miss Shen's presence that we were able to turn danger into safety.
"You know what, the food brought from Bija Island this time is really good."
"Yes, it's something we haven't tried before. I think Gaja Island will take the lead this time."
"I also think that compared to the food on other islands, I prefer the surprise that Bikkale brought this time."
"I wonder which island's cuisine the person from Xianyun Island will prefer."
When the topic turned to that person from Xianyun Island, the people present exchanged glances and sighed. That person was very picky about food, and ordinary food was not to his liking.
At this moment, a man on the side snorted in dissatisfaction, "Tch, this peach blossom banquet is just to get that person to eat more food, to see if it can cure anorexia."
"It's just you guys who keep comparing yourselves and insist on being number one."
The man's face showed contempt; he hated these useless banquets the most, considering them a complete waste of time.
Shen Zhiyi was sitting nearby and naturally heard their discussion.
So there's something else behind this peach blossom banquet?
However, she didn't say anything, quietly sitting in her seat, chatting with the wandering merchants and enjoying the food.
No further unexpected situations arose until the end of the banquet.
This truly relieved Luo Qingxin.
When she saw that the chefs they brought were all unconscious, a heavy weight hung over her heart.
After completely relaxing, Luo Qingxin felt extremely tired.
Back at her residence, Luo Qingxin went straight to her room to rest.
"Miss Shen, we really owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, Bijia Island would have lost this opportunity."
The wandering merchants were very grateful for Shen Zhiyi's help.
At this point, he gave a wry smile, "Actually, it's not that we absolutely have to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet, it's just... we need more than the residents of Jiale Island."
"Only by being registered on Xianyun Island can we receive more resources than Jiale Island needs."
Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, then told the wandering merchant what she had just overheard, "Is there any connection between the two?"
"At the beginning, the Peach Blossom Banquet was indeed just about competing for a ranking, so that our own island could gain more."
"However, later the person from Xianyun Island suddenly lost his appetite, and coincidentally the Peach Blossom Banquet was related to food, so this matter came about."
Shen Zhiyi blinked. "May I ask if Xianyun Island needs to give anything to other islands?"
"Immortal Spirit Stone".
The wandering merchant explained to her, "Actually, all of our islands need spirit stones to maintain their operation."
"Take Bigal Island for example. Without the Immortal Stone, Bigal Island would sink to the bottom of the sea."
"And the fairy island in the sky will also fall from the sky."
"No one knows why the island needs Immortal Spirit Stones to maintain its operation, but Immortal Spirit Stones are only found on Immortal Cloud Island."
Shen Zhiyi didn't ask any further questions. Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die.
Just as she was about to go back to her room to rest, the wandering merchant suddenly called out to her.
As soon as she turned around, the bard and Xiao Tao immediately bowed, "Miss Chen, thank you."
The guards saluted her with the military salute typical of their island. "Miss Chen, thank you."
Shen Zhiyi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's okay, we're friends now, after all."
"It's unusual for friends to say thank you to each other."
Everyone laughed, and the slight restraint they had felt before completely dissipated.
"Then I won't call you Miss Chen anymore." Xiao Tao smiled and moved closer to Shen Zhiyi, hugging her arm.
Shen Zhiyi smiled and said okay.
The bard merchant changed his address quickly: "Zhiyi, go and rest first, we'll talk again tomorrow."
"good."
Shen Zhiyi returned to her room and threw herself onto the bed.
Fox Moon and Black Wolf darted out of the pet space and carefully inspected the room.
Then they found a bead in the corner of a window.
The beads themselves are fine, but the problem is that there's something inside them.
Moreover, the placement of this bead is so ingenious that it allows one to see the entire layout of the room.
Shen Zhiyi stood up and took the beads in her hand.
"Yiyi, how do we make this?" Fox Moon leaned on Shen Zhiyi's shoulder.
She chuckled softly, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "Of course, we should send it where it belongs."
Shen Zhiyi held the beads in her hand, opened the bathroom door, and stood by the toilet.
"I bet you're watching right now, aren't you?"
After speaking, she raised her hand, expressionlessly threw the beads into the toilet, and pressed the flush button.
The bead was flushed down the toilet and ended up somewhere.
Fox Moon burst out laughing, "This is even more devastating than destroying the bead itself."
"Disgusting people should naturally be like rats in the sewers, unspeakable to the world."
"And all I did was send it to where it belonged. Wasn't that doing a good deed?"
