In the darkness, Li Huan answered loudly!
"I'm a small-time food vendor who sells boxed lunches at a street stall! I'm skilled in cooking and also an expert in divination!"
"Selling boxed lunches?" the palace maid asked curiously.
Li Huan explained, "They put the food in boxes and sold it at a stall, so it's called selling boxed meals!"
Duan Yu quickly replied, "My second brother, Li Huan, is the leader of the martial arts alliance in the Central Plains and the leader of the Beggars' Sect! He is by no means an ordinary merchant!"
"Ah?" The palace maid's voice changed. "So you are the leader of the Central Plains martial arts alliance! My apologies, my apologies!"
Li Huan said, "Whether it's the leader of the alliance or the leader of the gang, it's all just empty titles to me! I came to Lingzhou City mainly to set up a stall selling boxed lunches and earn a lot of money!"
"Today in the palace, I've sold 11,000 boxed meals and earned 1.1 million taels of silver. I also came to join in the fun and admire the beauty of the Western Xia princess!"
"More than ten thousand boxed meals!" The palace maid was even more shocked. "May I ask, Alliance Leader Li, how many dishes are in each boxed meal?"
Li Huan said, "Each boxed meal contains four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, including a staple food and a soup!"
The palace maid asked, "With so much food, how many chefs did Alliance Leader Li hire to prepare it?"
Li Huan lied, "I didn't hire a chef; I cooked every dish myself!"
The palace maid exclaimed, "Incredible! Alliance Leader Li single-handedly cooked over ten thousand dishes, demonstrating his superb culinary skills and profound expertise..."
"Hey!" Prince Zongzan interrupted the palace maid, "Are we recruiting a prince consort or a cook? Why are we talking about cooking?"
The palace maid coughed a few times and said, "Let's get back to the main topic! Young Master Murong, please answer the first question!"
Murong Fu quickly replied, "I'm all ears."
The palace maid asked, "Where did Young Master Murong find the most carefree and joyful place in his life?"
Murong Fu said, "As expected, the princess and I are of one mind; I had already anticipated that she would ask this question!"
Damn, can't you live without showing off?
Prince Zongzan sneered: "Murong Fu, stop boasting. I won't expose you about how you knew the first question!"
Murong Fu ignored Prince Zongzan and said loudly, "In my opinion, the most carefree and joyful place is in the palace, to marry the princess!"
This answer differs from the original novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
In the original story, Murong Fu replied: True freedom and happiness are not in the past, but in the future.
Before Murong Fu, Prince Zongzan also answered that "marrying the princess is the most carefree and joyful thing," but he failed to please the princess. Therefore, Murong Fu could not repeat the same mistake.
At this moment, Murong Fu was the first to answer the question, naturally wanting to please the princess.
The palace maid said, "In that case, Young Master Murong need not answer the second question!"
"I..." Murong Fu was taken aback, "Was my answer wrong?"
The palace maid said, "No! Please, the second guest, answer!"
Instantly, the scene fell silent.
Li Huan said, "You little Tibetan bastard, are you going to answer the first question or not? If not, I'll answer it!"
Prince Zongzan said, "You answer first, and I'll think about it..."
This guy's original answer was the same as Murong Fu's; he was currently troubled.
Li Huan said, "The most carefree and happiest place in my life was in a dark ice cave!"
Clang!
The sound of a porcelain cup shattering on the ground came from ahead.
Li Huan knew that his answer had touched a nerve with the Western Xia princess.
The palace maid asked, "The second question is, what is the name of the person that Alliance Leader Li loved most in his life?"
Li Huan said, "I don't know her name!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Alliance Leader Li is truly witty!"
"As expected, Alliance Leader Li has come to set up a stall selling boxed lunches. His real intention is not Her Highness the Princess, but the money!"
"Alliance Leader Li has actually fallen in love with an unknown woman!"
...
The palace maid then asked, "The third question: What does the girl that Leader Li loves look like?"
Li Huan said, "As I just said, how could I possibly see her face clearly in the dark ice cave?"
Hahaha... Everyone continued to laugh.
Suddenly, Li Huan smelled a rich fragrance and realized from the laughter that someone was quietly approaching him.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle little hand grasped Li Huan's hand.
"Are you my dream lover?"
The voice was very low, and the other party was clearly Princess Li Qinglu of Western Xia.
Li Huan laughed and said, "I've answered three questions. Is this the fourth question?"
"Yes, please answer."
"I am not Menglang."
"Huh? You're not Menglang..."
Li Qinglu was surprised and involuntarily let go of Li Huan's hand.
Li Huan deliberately said, "The woman I love, though I don't know her name, I call her—Meng Gu."
In an instant, Li Qinglu grasped Li Huan's hand again: "I am Meng Gu!"
She quickly pulled Li Huan away from the hall and into the inner room.
The lighting is warm and inviting.
Li Huan stared intently at Li Qinglu.
She was stunningly beautiful, beyond compare.
If this weren't Xu Zhu's woman, Li Huan would truly want to embrace her, kiss her, and create a romantic story.
Li Qinglu also gazed at Li Huan, her eyes sparkling with excitement and boundless affection.
"My love! I've finally found you!"
She never expected that the lover she had been longing for was actually the leader of the Central Plains martial arts alliance, who was highly skilled in martial arts, handsome, and had superb culinary skills!
Li Huan said, "You had the Emperor hold a grand meeting to recruit a consort, and personally selected the consort, asking him three questions, all in order to find your dream man?"
Li Qinglu nodded and nestled in Li Huan's arms.
