Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: Returning Fairness to You
"Heavenly Immortal Realm!" Li Jiaojiao frowned.
Next to Lin Yueru, Xiao Liu quickly lowered his voice to introduce, "Fairy Li, that’s the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch, one of the top ten Heavenly Immortals of the Immortal Banquet Holy City."
"Thank you for the reminder." Li Jiaojiao smiled at Xiao Liu, then looked at the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch and Bai Lan, her gaze gradually turning cold.
"Heavenly Monarch, this wretch actually hit me and even wants to kill me!" Bai Lan accused, pointing at Li Jiaojiao.
"Little beauty, what’s your name?" The Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch sized up Li Jiaojiao, finding her temperament good and appearance remarkable, wanting to claim her for himself.
"Li Jiaojiao," she said.
"True to your name, precious indeed. Little beauty, if you’re willing to be my 312th concubine, I can forgive and forget." The Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch looked at Lin Yueru, "Lin Yueru, would you be my 313th concubine?"
"Pah!" Lin Yueru spat angrily.
Li Jiaojiao didn’t expect the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch to be such a licentious person, her face growing colder as she said, "I’ve seen shameless people, but never this shameless."
"Little beauty, come with me, and I’ll let you see whether I have teeth or not," the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch chuckled.
"Heavenly Monarch, quickly kill them!" Bai Lan couldn’t bear it, twisting her body and whining.
Slap!
The Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch slapped Bai Lan’s face, spat, "When a man speaks, is it your turn to interrupt? Slap her mouth!"
Saying that, he slapped several more times.
Bai Lan, her face full of grievance, gritted her teeth to endure, fearing the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch would continue to slap her.
"Little beauty, how about your consideration?" The Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch smiled as he walked toward Li Jiaojiao.
Boom!
Just then, a huge pink long staff descended from the sky, crushing the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch into dust, annihilated on the spot without leaving even a trace of soul.
This scene shocked everyone.
"What happened?"
The crowd fearfully looked to the sky.
Only to see a stunning woman with pink fox ears descending slowly, her pink hair flowing in the wind, wielding a long pink staff.
"Jiaojiao, such people should be directly killed, no need for so much nonsense." With that, Hu Feifei yawned.
"Holy Consort Protector, why are you here?" Seeing Hu Feifei, Li Jiaojiao felt relieved, knowing Ye Feng must not be far wherever Hu Feifei was.
Her sense of safety instantly surged.
"I came, of course, by the Sect Leader’s order, to protect you!" Hu Feifei shouldered the Hunyuan Staff and walked to Li Jiaojiao’s side.
"Spare me, senior!"
Bai Lan, frightened by the Immortal Venerable level aura emanating from Hu Feifei, wet herself on the spot and knelt, continuously kowtowing.
"Calm your anger, senior!"
From all over the Immortal Banquet Holy City, Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals flew over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Hu Feifei, fearing she would destroy the entire city in fury.
"Begging for mercy, senior."
Lin Yueru, Xiao Liu, and others also knelt on the ground.
"Jiaojiao, the rest is up to you to handle." Yawning, Hu Feifei leaped away and disappeared without a trace.
Li Jiaojiao helped Lin Yueru up and asked, "I want to know, why didn’t you spar with me?"
Lin Yueru sighed softly, looked at Bai Lan who still knelt on the ground, and revealed the reason.
Bai Lan and Lin Yueru were among many Master-Level Spirit Chefs in the Immortal Banquet Holy City.
They respectively opened Bai Lan Tavern and Yueru Tavern, both the best businesses in the Immortal Banquet Holy City, attracting countless cultivators to taste.
Once, Bai Lan sparred with Lin Yueru.
During that match, Bai Lan cheated, adding a special poison to Lin Yueru’s dish that could corrode taste, even Lin Yueru at the Human Immortal Realm fell victim, unable to taste flavors thereafter, losing the competition.
Since then, Lin Yueru fell from grace.
After losing this Master-Level Spirit Chef, the name of Yueru Tavern as the top tavern was no longer secure, its fame gradually declined, drawing fewer patrons.
Since Lin Yueru lost the match, Yueru Tavern must be handed over to Bai Lan in a month.
"So that’s what happened." Understanding the situation, Li Jiaojiao looked at Bai Lan still kneeling, coldly asked, "Is it true?"
"I’m innocent! Lin Yueru had her issues, it’s not my concern." Bai Lan naturally dared not admit.
"Sophistry!" Lin Yueru was furious, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, her face full of rage.
"I have a way to know the truth." Li Jiaojiao looked to the sky, searching for Ye Feng’s figure.
She knew only he could deliver justice.
"No need to seek the Sect Leader, I have a way." Hu Feifei returned, handed a Spiritual Pearl to Li Jiaojiao, "This can reverse time."
After speaking, she dropped the Spiritual Pearl on the ground.
The sky immediately displayed scenes from back when Bai Lan and Lin Yueru sparred in culinary skills.
As time reversed, everyone clearly saw Bai Lan, before the match, sought the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch, obtained a peculiar poison and secretly added it to Lin Yueru’s dish, causing her to accidentally ingest it during the tasting.
"No, it’s fake!"
Bai Lan still tried to argue.
"Whether true or not, a soul search will reveal, no need for any argument." An elderly man at the Peak of Heavenly Immortal stood out.
This man was the City Lord of the Immortal Banquet Holy City.
Hu Feifei, possessing the power to crush the scene, didn’t instantly kill Bai Lan but brought out the time-reversing treasure, proving Bai Lan likely had issues.
Moreover, he had heard Lin Yueru’s story.
It was impossible for someone at the Human Immortal Realm to lose taste for no reason, this matter naturally held suspicion.
"Don’t!"
Upon hearing a soul search would be conducted on her, Bai Lan scrambled to flee.
"Where are you running!" The City Lord of the Immortal Banquet Holy City pressed a palm, caught Bai Lan’s forehead, forcibly extracted her memory, and projected it into the air.
Everyone looked.
In the scene, Bai Lan’s first perspective appeared.
Indeed, the truth was as the time reversal showed, she obtained the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch’s help and poisoned Lin Yueru’s taste, causing her downfall from grace.
Now, everything was clear.
Bai Lan fell to the ground in despair, trembling with fear in her eyes.
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"
She struggled to crawl away.
At this moment, the City Lord of the Immortal Banquet Holy City sternly said:
"In our Immortal Banquet Holy City, there is always a strict rule: food is the thing of heaven! Heaven is vast, Earth is vast, Spirit Chefs are the greatest."
"Bai Lan!"
"You harmed our Immortal Banquet Holy City’s renowned Master-Level Spirit Chef Lin Yueru, and colluded with the Red-Haired Heavenly Monarch, attempting to seize Yueru Tavern, this violates the iron laws of our Immortal Banquet Holy City."
"For such crimes, execution!"
As soon as the words fell, the City Lord of the Immortal Banquet Holy City pressed a palm, the terrifying pressure of a Peak Heavenly Immortal instantly crushed Bai Lan into dust.
Then, the City Lord of the Immortal Banquet Holy City looked at Lin Yueru and sighed, "Sorry! Today, finally you receive justice."
"Thank you, City Lord." Lin Yueru bowed, her eyes glistening with tears, "But even if Bai Lan is slain, what good? My taste is gone."
This poison was extremely potent.
Lin Yueru once sought other strong Immortals, but they said it was a permanent defect, even Heavenly Immortals found it difficult to cure.
Even if it could be treated, Lin Yueru’s taste would never be as sensitive as before, no longer able to showcase Master-Level Spirit Chef skills.
It could be said Lin Yueru’s future was lost.
"I can help you." Li Jiaojiao stood out, "Perhaps, eating the food I prepare may awaken your most sensitive taste again."
"Really?" Lin Yueru looked at Li Jiaojiao, her face full of disbelief.
