1139 Cola Flying Phoenix Divine Wings
The Jadeite Sugar Taro Spirit Fruit utterly shocked the entire hall.
After the Empress and the High Priestess tried this dish, they both revealed shocking intoxicated faces.
Everyone went crazy. The remaining thirteen people at the spirit gold dining table could not wait to pick up their chopsticks, all moving towards the Jadeite Sugar Taro Spirit Fruit as its wings constantly moved.
Each chopstick descended, all picking up the taro spirit fruit wrapped in sugar strips. The strips were thin and exquisite, bringing along a wave of sweetness.
Along with the sugar strands being stretched, the phoenix also constantly flapped its wings.
The audience seemed to even hear the sound of a phoenix cry.
However…
With the Jadeite Sugar Taro Spirit Fruit being swept finished, those phoenix wings also slowly began to fold as it withered. They turned into a puddle of sugar strands, covering the blue-and-white porcelain plate.
Many people were still a little unwilling for it to end, sticking out their tongues to lick their lips.
In particular, Lin Damei reached out her chopsticks while licking her lips, constantly rummaging through the sugar threads to find a piece of taro spirit fruit.
However, it was a pity that… there was no more taro spirit fruit.
The number of taro spirit fruits was strictly controlled by Bu Fang. There were eighteen in total, one piece for one person, so it was just right.
The first dish had already made so many people shocked. Now, everyone involuntarily sucked in a deep breath, looking forward to the next dishes.
There were still seventeen dishes to go, and three of them were sacrificial dishes.
According to the rules, the sacrificial dish should be served after the third dish.
Jing Yuan let the maids take away the blue-and-white porcelain bowls on the round dining table, then turned her body, stepping into the kitchen.
She was preparing to take out the second dish.
At this moment, along with the sounds of the harps, the diners on the small tables received the dish.
Everyone’s plate had a piece of taro spirit fruit.
Of course, these newly distributed taro spirit fruits were only one, so the sugar threads did not have the appearance of a phoenix.
Although it lacked the stunning appearance, its taste remained unchanged.
While the surrounding diners ate the taro spirit fruit, Jing Yuan once again came, walking slowly from a distance.
She held a flat blue-and-white porcelain plate that was covered with a silver lid.
Jing Yuan’s mouth was curved into a smile as she slowly walked.
Everyone’s eyes fell on her. No matter if it were the high officials on the spirit gold dining table or the surrounding diners, they were curious about what the second dish was.
Jing Yuan did not leave any suspense. With everyone’s eyes all focused on the covered plate, she placed the dish onto the dining table.
“The second dish of the imperial feast, Cola Flying Phoenix Divine Wings.”
Jing Yuan’s voice was gentle, as if there was a trace of excitement within it.
That’s right, it was excitement.
This time’s imperial feast, whenever she opened the lid, she would feel excited for some reason, and her figure seemed to slightly tremble.
Because her heart was filled with expectations, she was excited and agitated.
“Cola Flying Phoenix?”
When Empress Bi Luo heard Jing Yuan say the dish’s name, her drawn eyebrows slightly knit together. When it came to bird species, she did not like it very much.
Also… what’s more important was that, in the previous imperial feasts, there seemed to be no such dish.
Could it be that Bu Fang that man had changed the recipe again?
Just when the Empress was pondering, a wave of dense fragrance spread out. That fragrance had a sweet and meaty aroma, rushing towards their noses.
It seemed to surge into everyone’s hearts in an instant.
When Empress Bi Luo smelled this slightly broiled meat fragrance, her eyes instantly shone. Slightly tilting her head, she looked at the lid that Jing Yuan was slowly lifting.
A glazed color shot out from the blue-and-white porcelain plate.
As the fragrance wafted out, it seemed to form into a substance. Along with a phoenix cry, the fragrance seemed to turn into a divine phoenix, rushing out from the crevice of the lid, revolving around the spirit gold dining table.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn over to it.
“This is fragrance turning into a substance? The most simple display of the will of the Great Path…”
The High Priestess’ eyes slightly shrank, her red lips gently opened, as she said.
Everyone naturally understood.
However at this moment, the audience did not chase after the reason of this fragrance forming into substance, but stared at that blue-and-white porcelain plate in a daze.
The fragrance lingering the air, caused them to constantly swallow their salivas.
“This smell….. Is too attractive!”
“It feels like people look forward more to it than the Sugar Taro Spirit Fruit!”
“I seemed to have seen a huge pile of broiled phoenix…..”
…
The audience chattered, all expressing their own feelings.
The corner of Jing Yuan’s lips slightly smiled, as she opened the lid while retreating a step.
In the next instant, the light scattered, as the steam rose to the heavens.
Everyone’s gaze all shrunk, all sucking a breath of cold air.
On that blue-and-white porcelain plate, was a neatly arranged phoenix wings.
These phoenix wings looked deep brown, there was a layer of thick juice on top of it, that juice was boiling, rolling on top of it, as if it was reflecting the light.
Those phoenix wings were fat and juicy, especially the meat. Placed on the porcelain plate, it was arranged in a circle, in the middle was surging steam, turning a phoenix that spread its wings to fly.
Everyone could tell what the ingredient of this phoenix wing was.
It should be a mixed blood green phoenix raised in the Goddess City.
Everyone was incomparably shocked, they had never thought that, the phoenix could be cooked like this.
However, many people’s faces suddenly became a little playful.
It should be known that in the Goddess City, everyone knew…. that what Her Majesty the Empress did not like to eat the most was the phoenix.
In the previous imperial feasts, the phoenix in the menu would all be changed into Papillion wings.
In the end, the head chef had actually once again chose the phoenix….
Was this purposely offending the Empress?
“The second dish of the imperial feast, Cola Flying Phoenix Divine Wings. This dish is Head Chef Bu’s secret recipe, eat and cherish it.”
Jing Yuan then retreated a step, slightly bowing, as she said to the spectators.
Empress Bi Luo’s eyes turned, giving Jing Yuan a glance.
This girl knew pretty well that she did not like to eat phoenix, because the meat of the phoenix had a certain taste that she hated.
Of course, this differed for each person. Some people loved that taste.
“Hmph! If it does not taste good, that little chef can forget about his chance to enter the God Vanishing Mountain!”
Empress Bi Luo’s arrogant red lips raised, then she grabbed the chopsticks with her hands, clasping towards the phoenix wings that were deep brown color with juice scattered over it.

The first time…. She actually did not manage to pick it up.
That wing seemed to know how to fly, it was extremely slippery.
What’s more important is that it was because of the slipperiness of that juice.
It was unknown what was the juice made out of, there was a little sweet and fragrant smell to it, causing one’s appetite to bloom.
She picked up a Cola Phoenix Wing into her bowl.
The Empress gently pursed her red lips, a little curiousness in her eyes.
The Cola in this dish’s name….. Exactly what did it mean?
Picking up the wing, the Empress’s scorching red lips gently opened, below her red lips, were her pearly white teeth.
“Mhmmm…..”
With a bite, the boiling taste spread out from that wing.
The Empress’s red lips rubbed on the top of the wing, that deep brown juice instantly smudged onto her red lips.
Her teeth bit on the soft and tender meat of the wing.
The skin of the phoenix was smooth and soft, with a bite, a hole was instantly bitten off.
The meat seemed to turn into strands as each strand entered her mouth.
With a bite, the bones of the phoenix wing could actually be seen.
Mmmmmmm…
Empress Bi Luo’s eyes instantly shined!
This was phoenix meat?
Why was it completely different from her memories?
That hateful taste seemed to have completely disappeared….. What replaced it was a type of sweet and unctuous juice, it was a meat taste that made one’s heart go limp.
Steam appeared from the hole that was bitten.
Empress Bi Luo swallowed the meat of the chicken, as her gaze greedily looked at the remaining phoenix wings.
Opening her mouth, she began to chew again.
The surrounding people were in a daze, their faces shocked, because it was hard to imagine Empress Bi Luo chewing a phoenix wing so eagerly.
It had to be known…. It had been around four or five years since Her Empress the Majesty had eaten phoenix meat.
That time, the Empress had only taken a bite, and spat it out.
She had hated the phoenix meat to the extreme……
But…
Hiss!
The audience all sucked in a breath of cold air.
This time, everyone understood.
This imperial feast… was quite something!
Nether King Er Ha had long opened his mouth, drool constantly leaking out of it.
“Bu Fang young man is biased… Such nice dishes… He actually did not take it out earlier!”
Nethery nodded her head, agreeing with Nether King Er Ha.
The High Priestess looked at the Empress chewing so happily, she pursed her lips, involuntarily showing a trace of curiosity on her cold face, reaching out her chopsticks to pick up a Flying Phoenix wing.
In the next instant, the chopsticks flew, as pairs of chopsticks fell, all picking up the Flying Phoenix Wings.
Every high official ate extremely excited.
With a bite, the tender texture erupted, and the sweet fragrant juice seemed to set off a bomb in their minds.
Jing Yuan was satisfied with everyone’s reactions. She did not say anything, turning her body to enter the kitchen once again.
When she entered the kitchen this time, she held the third dish.
And behind her, three maids wearing fabulous sacrificial robes all respectfully held three similar blue-and-white porcelain plates with a lid on top of it.
These three dishes were obviously the sacrificial dishes.
The entire imperial hall rang with the sound of the harp, as the ringing sound of the bell rang out ceaselessly.
The sound of metal hitting metal lingered in the ears.
Paired with the crazily chewing high officials on the spirit gold dining table…
The scene was extremely out of sorts and strange.
Empress Bi Luo had already finished her wing.
Her mouth pouted, and with a gentle spit, a thin bone was spat out, falling on the table. After that, she stuck her tongue out to lick around her red lips.
With a satisfied sigh, Empress Bi Luo narrowed her eyes.
The High Priestess raised her hand, her palms tightly covering her mouth as she lowered her head to spit out the bone of the wing.
Then, learning from the Empress, she left no remains as she licked the juice around her mouth. After licking everything clean, she picked up the clean white cloth to press on her red lips, her temperament cold and proud.
Lin Damei was not that nice to the wing in her mouth.
This woman was so excited her entire body was trembling, while eating she let out a huge laughter like ringing copper bells.
It caused the surrounding people to look at each other involuntarily.
After spitting out the bone, Lin Damei then stood up, holding up the empty blue-and-white porcelain plate.
Then she poured the remaining juice into the small bowl in front of her, till it was half full.
“Hehe…. There should be rice later right? This juice is so tasty, it will definitely be even better mixed with rice!”
Lin Damei scratched the back of her head, as she opened her mouth to laugh foolishly.
The surrounding people all gently laughed kindly.
Chi Si rolled her eyes.
This stupid glutton. Would there be rice in the imperial feast? Could she use her head?
And… could she just… leave her a little bit?
At this moment, Jing Yuan walked over,placing the dish in her hand onto the dining table.
Behind her, many people noticed the three maids wearing the sacrificial robes as they held the dishes.
Looking at the dish in their hands, everyone’s eyes shrank, letting out a divine light.
The sacrificial dishes… had finally appeared!
However before that, Jing Yuan’s pleasing voice made everyone’s attention converge over.
“The third dish of the imperial feast, Flying Great Lobster.”
Jing Yuan gently said, her voice was once again filled with excitement.
Then… raising the other hand to hold her sleeve, she reached out to slowly lift the lid off.
Sizzle. Sizzle.
Steam burst out from where the lid opened. It wafted up and gathered, just like clouds!
