Observing Li Xian’s dangerous gaze, Liao Ning focused on maintaining her composure. “I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean.”
Li Xian picked up the seafood pancakes from the plate and rearranged them. As expected, he noticed a few pancakes that formed the letters GRG, the abbreviation of Planet Golden Rice.
“Miss Liao is indeed astute. The seafood pancakes are delicious, so I’ll take them off your hands for now.”
Without hesitation, Li Xian swiftly took the entire plate of seafood pancakes with him. Tina cast a complicated glance at Liao Ning before following him out of the livestream.
“Please wait!” Just as Li Xian was leaving the scene, he was halted by Crete.
Crete’s expression appeared conflicted. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke up, “Could you spare me one of those seafood pancakes?”
Li Xian seemed puzzled. “Are you interested in ancient delicacies?”
Crete swiftly clarified, “It’s not that. I heard that Tina’s condition improved after consuming Miss Liao’s ancient delicacies last time. I’d like to let my wife try it as well.”
Only then did Li Xian recall the events that transpired on Liao Ning’s first day in the empire. He looked at Tina, seeking confirmation.
Tina nodded. “Yes, although I had eaten seafood porridge at that time. I’m not sure if this pancake will have the same effect, but I trust Miss Liao’s intentions.
She genuinely wanted to help me and didn’t make any additional demands.”
Tina continued explaining, anxious to ensure that Li Xian didn’t suspect Liao Ning of any hidden motives.
“Very well.” Li Xian handed the plate to Crete. “Bring your wife here and gather a few researchers. I want to see if Liao Ning’s ancient delicacies truly have an effect.”
As Crete led his expressionless wife into the laboratory, her eyes appeared lifeless, unaware of any abnormalities.
Crete’s wife, also a mermaid, had recently been captured and coerced into consuming a loyalty potion. Even Crete couldn’t afford the expensive antidote. He placed all his hope in Liao Ning.
“Prepare to commence,” Li Xian commanded from behind the glass walls of the laboratory.
“Darling, try this seafood pancake. It’s an ancient delicacy,” Crete carefully offered the seafood pancake to his wife.
She looked at the pancake with confusion but didn’t refuse. Mechanically, she took a bite and chewed.
Even after finishing the pancake, her expression remained unchanged. Crete grew anxious, but Li Xian found it understandable. He had just tasted the seafood pancake himself, and apart from its deliciousness, he hadn’t experienced anything else.
Just as disappointment began to settle in, Crete’s wife spoke up, “Can I have more? These seafood pancakes are delicious.”
“Do you genuinely find them delicious?” Crete hurriedly pushed a whole plate toward her. “Try another one.”
Witnessing his wife nodding and reaching for another seafood pancake, her expression underwent a transformation. “This is amazing, honey. Would you like to try it?”
Seeing the smile on his wife’s face and hearing her gentle voice, Crete choked up. “Eat, eat. If you like it, I’ll make it for you in the future!”
His wife nodded eagerly, then broke off a small piece of pancake with a smile and fed it to Crete.
The laboratory staff found this scene unbelievable, and Tina was ecstatic.
“Leader, look! Liao Ning’s ancient delicacies are truly effective. It’s incredible!”
Li Xian nodded in agreement. As a Half-Mermaid, he understood the extent of control the elven potion had over mermaids. If he possessed the antidote, the mermaids wouldn’t have to be under the empire’s control, and he could establish a society of equality.
“Bring all the ingredients used in Liao Ning’s livestream to the laboratory for further study. Let’s determine which ingredients can be used to create an antidote!”
“Yes, Leader!”
At that moment, Li Xian clenched his fists. Liao Ning was his lucky star too. If he could assist the merfolk and enlist them into the rebel army, his success would be within reach.
As Zhou Ling observed Liao Ning’s live-stream, he sensed something suspicious unfolding before his eyes.
Although the content of the live-stream was swiftly deleted, Zhou Ling had wisely made a backup beforehand.
“Hold on! Take a look at this,” Zhou Ling pointed to the image on his Al. “Don’t these seafood pancakes resemble the initials GRG? Planet Golden Rice!”
“Absolutely! That’s the abbreviation for Planet Golden Rice. It confirms that Liao Ning is here. This is fantastic news,” Olift exclaimed with excitement.
Zhou Ye rose from his seat and headed upstairs. “I’ll be returning tomorrow. Orville, join me on this mission..”
