Strive to replace Dark Four as soon as possible!
"This is all I have. I'll give you this whole bottle. I'll have An Si send you some more tomorrow."
For those doing these kinds of missions, it's better to encounter someone with lower martial arts skills than them. But if someone with higher skills is more skilled, they'll be easily discovered. With this item, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
“Oh, Your Highness, you are the best princess in the world. I will do my utmost to serve you and protect you as soon as possible.”
"Are you saying that you were wronged by following me in the past?"
An Shi's vision went black, his head buzzed, and he felt as if he was about to be swallowed up by his lord's dark gaze.
"Hehehe, it is my great fortune to be able to follow Your Highness. Moreover, Your Highness's martial arts are unparalleled. No one in these four kingdoms can rival you. You and the Princess are a perfect match, a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, a match made in heaven, a perfect union. I will naturally share Your Highness's burdens and protect the Princess."
"Hmm, that's right. Let's see how you do."
An Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. An Si was absolutely right. There was nothing wrong with flattering the prince and princess.
"Follow me, you've got good taste!"
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."
His subordinates, whom he had nurtured for over ten years, had all been "bought off" by An'an. His An'an was truly charming...
"Keep a close eye on things and protect yourself."
An Shi's eyes burned slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Although the Dark Pavilion prioritizes preserving life, this is the first time the Prince has spoken of it so bluntly.
The prince is different now that he has a princess; he's become more humane.
An Shi's eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly lowered his head, nodding frantically, "Mmm..."
He needed to get out of there quickly; he'd never before thought his subordinates were so "disgraceful"...
As dawn broke, the earth was shrouded in a hazy mist, as if draped in a silvery-gray veil. All was silent until a bird's call broke the stillness.
"Are you going to the morning court?" Yan An looked at Yue Xiyuan, who was sitting on the chaise longue sipping tea, showing no intention of leaving.
"I won't go. My brother probably doesn't want to see me during the morning court sessions."
That's absolutely true. Whenever Yue Xiyuan appears at the morning court session, not only will the emperor be worried, but all the officials will be terrified.
Something big must have happened or is about to happen in the country this month, so the ministers, including the emperor, do not want to see Yue Xiyuan at the morning court.
"Do you want some noodles? I'm a little hungry."
"Are you hungry? I'll make you breakfast. I've been practicing my cooking skills ever since last time, so I can definitely eat a lot."
Yue Xiyuan looked very confident, as if he wasn't the one who almost burned down the space while cooking at the moat last time.
Yue Xiyuan had been fighting in the army since he was a child and had suffered countless hardships, but he was still capable of supporting himself.
After eating the meal Yan An cooked that day, he made a decision: he would learn to cook and make all the world's delicacies for Yan An.
But things didn't go as planned. At the moat, Yue Xiyuan took the initiative to cook, getting himself covered in soot and almost setting Yan An's space on fire, which shocked Su Jingzhan and Qi Hongchen.
Are you sure?
Yan An seemed to be deep in thought, pursing her lips, looking somewhat disbelieving.
"Don't worry, what I made this time is definitely edible," Yue Xiyuan said confidently.
He had been taught by the chef at the Regent's Palace for a long time. Although he burned down half of the East Kitchen, he finally managed to make a bowl of noodles that looked pretty good. The chef even tasted it and praised it repeatedly.
Yan An, carrying Yue Xiyuan's spatial storage, said, "There's some noodles prepared, why don't you try them?"
After an incense stick had burned, Yue Xiyuan, looking disheveled, brought out a bowl of what appeared to be a decent bowl of vegetable noodles.
"It looks pretty good, An'an, you should try it."
"Did you go to clean the bottom of the pot? Why do you look like this again?" Yan An took out a handkerchief and wiped Yue Xiyuan's face.
"I can do it myself, you should try it quickly." This was the best he had ever made, and he couldn't wait for Yan An to taste it.
The regent, who was in a position of great power, had never suffered such hardship. Yan An was deeply moved and picked up a piece of noodles with his chopsticks, putting it into his mouth.
What does it taste like—sour, sweet, and salty all at once? Yan An tried to swallow it, but her esophagus was extremely unwilling.
"I'm not very hungry, how about we go out for a walk?"
Yan An blinked sheepishly, chuckled awkwardly, and tried to hide the embarrassment on his face.
"Is it not good? Let me try it."
"Hey! Hey! Don't try it..."
This discovery exposed what she had said.
"Ugh..." Yue Xiyuan's face turned bright red, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"The cook lied to me! How could he possibly eat this?"
"If you don't eat this, are you going to eat a board?" Yan An gently pulled Yue Xiyuan to sit down beside him.
"You, just sit and wait to eat, and whatever you do, don't ever cook again."
"But I also want to cook for you. I want to marry you and bring you back to the Regent's Palace so I can take care of you every day."
Wol Seok-won felt terrible, as if a huge block of ice was stuck in his heart. He suddenly felt lost and helpless. How could he be so stupid? He couldn't even make a simple bowl of noodles. It has to be said that Wol Seok-won's ability to self-pity was getting stronger and stronger.
"Haha, how come you've even started using PUA tactics?"
"What is a fart...? What...is it?"
"It's PUA, which involves deliberately distorting the facts and using methods such as continuous attacks, denial, misleading, and deception to make someone doubt their own worth. But other people do this to each other, so why are you engaging in self-PUA?"
“I…I didn’t. An’an is the best woman in the world, and she deserves all the good things in the world. If An’an didn’t get it, it’s because I didn’t do a good enough job.”
"Haha, okay, you are the most handsome and smartest of all the love-struck people I have ever met. Cooking is a pleasure for me, and I am also very happy to cook for you."
"Okay, listen to me, you can't go into the kitchen anymore, so that the kitchen won't have to be repaired every day. Wait for me, it'll be done soon."
She couldn't wait any longer; she was starving after working all night. Luckily, Yue Xiyuan had left her some noodles, so she decided to make a simple spicy and sour cold noodle dish.
Just now, An'an said that cooking for him was a kind of happiness. Yue Xiyuan's brows revealed endless joy, and his bright eyes sparkled with ecstatic light.
With family always by his side and the warmth of the lamplight, this was the happiness his father had spoken of. He had achieved it all. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
"Quickly try my spicy and sour cold noodles." Yan An placed two bowls of noodles on the bar counter. "What are you grinning about?"
"An'an, I wish to find one heart to love and stay with you until we grow old. Thank you for coming into my life."
"Okay, let's support each other through thick and thin, and stay together until our hair turns white. Thank you for coming into my life."
