In an instant, almost all the people of the Underworld Moon Kingdom stood on the same side. Those who originally supported the other three great chefs now all joined together to resist Xu Yuehuai!
Xu Yuehuai remained calm and composed, showing no emotional reaction to their words.
Maimaiti sneered inwardly, hoping that the surrounding people would escalate the situation further.
Upon hearing this, the little princess standing nearby immediately stood on a stool and pointed at the people in front of her.
"You're slandering my Sister Xu! Sister Xu didn't cheat! She made this delicious hand-pulled mutton with her own hard work!"
"If you all have skills like Sister Xu, then you should ask Manager Liu to teach you!"
Everyone knows that Manager Liu has a very strange temper and is unwilling to pass on his skills to others.
Even if they wanted to ask Manager Liu for advice, he would ignore them.
So they had no way of learning how to make hand-pulled mutton from Manager Liu!
The little princess's words were nothing more than an attempt to make things difficult for all of them.
At this moment, Manager Liu quickly stood up from the crowd.
He said to everyone, "Manager Xu is the most talented person I've ever met! Although I did teach her how to make hand-pulled mutton, I only taught her once!"
"From then on, it was all up to her to practice on her own, and I didn't provide any guidance from the side."
"Her ability to make hand-pulled mutton that even His Majesty the King finds delicious is entirely due to Manager Xu's own efforts! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Besides, I volunteered to teach Manager Liu. Manager Liu's skill level is already better than mine. If I were to make a plate of hand-pulled mutton at the same time, the taste would definitely not be as good as Manager Liu's!"
Those around him, however, did not believe anything Liu, the shopkeeper, said.
Manager Liu has been their head chef for over a decade, and his hand-pulled mutton is the highest quality in the entire capital.
No one can compare to Manager Liu! Now Manager Liu actually claims that Xu Yuehuai is better than him, which is simply deceiving the public!
Xu Yuehuai's people believed these words wholeheartedly, and the little princess standing on the high platform also agreed.
The little princess immediately put her hands on her hips and said to the people next to her, "I told you, my sister Xu is the best! You're all just jealous of my sister Xu!"
"Because we can't compare to Sister Xu, all we can do is smear her!"
Xu Yuehuai was deeply moved to see how much the little princess supported him.
The little princess is truly a person of strong character. Regardless of the conflicts between their countries, she has always stood firmly on Xu Yuehuai's side.
After everyone had quieted down, the King of Mingyue Kingdom spoke to Maimaiti.
"Then let's follow the competition rules. Xu Yuehuai, Princess Heyue of the Great Zhou Kingdom, has won this culinary competition!"
"Let's present Princess Heyue with the next reward!"
After he finished speaking, General Maimaiti, despite his great dissatisfaction, had no choice but to do as the King of Mingyue Kingdom said.
He immediately arranged for someone to present Xu Yuehuai with the final award for the culinary competition!
That's a key that can be exchanged for 10,000 taels of silver at their local bank!
These silver coins meant nothing to Xu Yuehuai, but they were her first step in opening up the market in the Mingyue Kingdom!
This is also a crucial step in all her upcoming plans!
Once this is accomplished, everything Xu Yuehuai wants to do next becomes much simpler.
Xu Yuehuai immediately and happily took the key to the reward in her hand and carefully put it into her pocket.
Then, she prepared to leave the scene, but at that moment, the little princess who was smiling at Xu Yuehuai from the judges' panel suddenly collapsed!
"Little princess! What's wrong?"
"Why did the little princess faint? Did she eat something she shouldn't have?"
"The little princess ate all the dishes prepared by the master chefs at the cooking competition. Could someone have poisoned these dishes?"
"But our King is not outstanding! Was the little princess poisoned by someone else?"
The surrounding people couldn't help but speculate, and they nervously watched in the direction of the little princess.
The little princess is incredibly cute. Every person in the Mingyue Kingdom loves her; she is their lucky charm! They are all deeply concerned about her safety!
When the King of Mingyue saw that the little princess had fainted, he rushed forward and held her in his arms, saying to the guards around him, "Quickly, find the imperial physician for me!"
"Don't let a single one of you escape! If anything happens to the little princess, you will all be held responsible!"
The person next to him hurriedly did as the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom had said, and quickly made the arrangements.
Taiyi hurriedly ran over, holding up his clothes, and soon arrived at the little princess's side.
He quickly took the little princess's pulse, and then his face suddenly darkened.
Upon seeing this, the King of Mingyue Kingdom immediately asked the imperial physician, "Little Princess, what's wrong?"
"Was she really poisoned? What kind of poison? How can she be cured?"
The imperial physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the little princess has indeed been poisoned. She has been poisoned with the Seven-Day Intestinal-Piercing Powder, which requires the Snow Lotus of Tianshan Mountain as an antidote!"
"What? It's actually the vicious Seven-Day Intestinal-Piercing Powder? And it even requires snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains?"
Not only the King of Mingyue Kingdom, but also some of the common people nearby were shocked and their mouths dropped open.
That's the infamous Seven-Day Intestinal-Piercing Powder, which has been passed down throughout the martial arts world!
Legend has it that almost no one who has been poisoned by the "Seven-Day Intestinal-Piercing Powder" has ever survived!
To cure the poison, you must obtain the snow lotus from Tianshan!
But how easy is it to obtain the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains?
The Tianshan snow lotus blooms only once every hundred years, bears fruit only once every hundred years, and the fruit takes more than a hundred years to mature!
That's a legendary celestial fruit! It's simply not something mortals can obtain!
There is a legend that has been passed down in the Kingdom of Dark Moon: When the immortal fruit appears, the world will be in chaos!
They didn't know if the celestial fruit referred to the Tianshan Snow Lotus, but if the Tianshan Snow Lotus really appeared in the world, it would definitely cause a lot of people to fight over it!
The King of Mingyue Kingdom dotes on his little princess, and if he has the chance to save her, he will do everything in his power.
However, before searching for the Tian Shan snow lotus, we need to find out who gave the little princess the drug!
"Search everyone thoroughly. I want to see who is so cruel as to try to poison my beloved little princess!"
