Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

Chapter 648 Rumors On The Star Web

With a flash of light, Alice appeared in front of him silently.

"Country Lord, you've finally come out of seclusion!"

"What happened?"

"No, everything is going according to plan. It's normal!"

"That's good! Are Sister Mi and the rest up?" Li Xiang nodded and asked.

"The madams have already woken up. Should I inform them now?"

"Go inform Chef Chen Tao first! Just tell him that I want to eat wonton for breakfast today. Tell him to prepare more and make sure it's enough!"

He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to eat wonton. There was no reason.

Eating wonton in the morning was a wonderful enjoyment.

Wontons had a very high status in Chinese recipes.

In fact, wonton was like dumplings in ancient times. Dumplings and wontons were the same types of noodles. It was only after continuous development that the corresponding differences were produced. Dumplings focused on the filling, while wontons focused on the skin and the soup.

As long as the filling in the dumplings was well made, the taste would not be bad. The taste all depended on the filling. Moreover, the different fillings would also cause various changes in the taste of the dumplings.

However, wonton was a test of the master's true skills. The wonton had a filling, but it was only a supplementary ingredient to slightly enhance the taste. The real thing to eat was the wonton skin. If the skin was good, the taste would not be bad. It might even exceed the level of dumplings.

Whether the wonton skin could be made well or not depended on the skills of the pastry chef. There were various kinds of flours and different methods of making the skin, which would make the taste very different. The skin had to be thin but tough.

Now, Li Xiang wanted to try Chen Tao's wonton.

Of course, although he was looking forward to it, he was not forcing it.

Among chefs, the pastry chef was a very different distinction. Many chefs were only proficient in a certain type of cuisine. For example, the pastry chef specialized in pastries, while the chefs of other cuisines also specialized in the type that they were good at. It didn't mean that they didn't know anything else, but the other foods they made couldn't compare to the type of cuisines they specialized in.

He did not doubt that Chen Tao could make pastries. He wasn't a specialized pastry chef, but he could still make it. The only difference was the taste.

"Li Xiang, you've come out!"

The first to rush over was Ning Xiaoyue. This lively and innocent girl, after not seeing her for a few days, still did not change much. She rushed in with a happy face.

Li Xiang greeted with a smile, "You're here so quickly. It seems that you really miss me."

"No, I'm just hungry!"

Soon after, Yang Mi and the others arrived one after another.

"How's the effect of your closed-door cultivation? Did you make any progress?" Yang Mi asked.

"There's a small gain. Not bad!" Li Xiang didn't explain in detail. After all, it was hard to explain the progress of cultivation.

The main reason was that his strength and realm had not improved. He had only made good progress in the Star Law.

Zhou Yutong also said, "We've also been in closed-door cultivation these past few days. Xiaoyue only went for three days. Sister Mi stayed for the longest time. She just came out the day before yesterday."

"Good! Increment in cultivation can benefit oneself. It was much more reliable than relying on external things. You don't have to go out, so you'd better cultivate more!"

Tong Qingya suddenly said, "Li Xiang, we're thinking if we can go out and gain some experience. Cultivation alone isn't enough. We still need to fight and temper ourselves."

Chen Shu looked at Li Xiang and said, "I have the same idea. It's useless to just practice. We have to apply it to improve faster."

Li Xiang was surprised to hear this.

Previously, the ladies were a little lazy and didn't like fighting and killing.

With him at the front, shouldn't they be focusing on other aspects? Why did they suddenly have the desire to fight and become stronger?

He looked at Yang Mi in confusion.

Yang Mi said indifferently, "There are some rumors in the kingdom, especially on the Star Web. Many citizens say that we're just eye candy and can't help you!"

The sentence was not fully expressed, but the meaning was very clear.

Li Xiang could tell that Yang Mi was unhappy with the rumors, but he laughed instead. "I thought it was something important. It's not a big deal. If you want to go, just go ahead! However, you have to bring enough defensive equipment and don't be stingy with all kinds of treasures. Use whatever you want."

At this point, he paused and continued, "I also suggest that you go out more often. However, you better change your appearance and bring more guards to prevent some people with bad intentions. Rapid Blade Demon, Dread Fiend Cavalry, Blazing Angel, and the most important Eye Demon. All of them."

Yang Mi saw that Li Xiang was very supportive of their decision, and her face suddenly showed a flower-like smile. She nodded and said, "Alright!"

Li Xiang's closed-door cultivation only lasted for half a month, which wasn't long, so it didn't affect the Kingdom of Dawn.

It was impossible for him to be like the cultivators to go into seclusion for years. It was impossible for him to not come out for decades. Not to mention a year, even if he didn't appear for a few months, there would be changes in the city.

On this point, becoming the leader of a force had its pros and cons.

One of the benefits was to become the owner of a territory. He could use the entire force to search for all kinds of items he needed, and finally obtain resources and treasures that far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators. There was no comparison between the two. And what he lost was a certain amount of freedom. He was unable to travel as he wished, or even appreciate the various sceneries of the world.

After the meal, Yang Mi accompanied Li Xiang to stroll around the garden, while Ning Xiaoyue and the others went off somewhere.

"Li Xiang, while you were in seclusion, you didn't know that a great talent has recently come to our Recruitment Hall." Yang Mi blinked at Li Xiang as they walked and spoke.

"Great talent? Other than Du Kang, what other top talents have the Recruitment Hall recruited?" Li Xiang asked curiously.

One had to know that top talents were not so easy to encounter. Even though there were countless talents with the fusion of infinite worlds, the entire continent was vast and boundless. The region they were in right now was not even the tip of the iceberg when compared to the continent. Within this range, he had never dared to expect to easily meet talents.

He could only start to cultivate it himself.

Now, the academies and schools that were being built were the places to cultivate talents.

Every addition of top talent was a pleasant surprise.

He was also very curious about who had been recruited this time to be able to gain Yang Mi's recognition.

"He's a great talent that you'll never guess," said Yang Mi with a smile.

"You've already said that I can't guess it no matter what, so why aren't you telling me?"
