Whatever it was, Xyla Quest would be with Stanley Batton to face everything bravely no matter what.
They would never leave each other.
After Yaksha had set the table for a few minutes, they began to eat…
Xyla and Stanley washed their hands in the restroom before heading into the traditional-style dining room with Yaksha leading the way.
The dining room was designed in the same way as the living room.
The main colors were burgundy and white…
The dining table and chairs were all made from burgundy rosewood.
There were a total of seven dishes and one soup on the dining table…
These were fried shrimps, steamed crabs, fried bamboo shoots with bacon, marinated chicken feet, pickled fish, steamed chicken, roasted duck, and abalone soup.
There was a traditional white lamp in the shape of a lantern on the dining table.
Under the bright light, the delicious food on the dining table appeared unusually enticing.
As Xyla didn’t have much of an appetite in the morning, she only had a little to eat.
After not having eaten all morning, she was already famished right now.
When Xyla saw the delicious food in such a ravenous state, her stomach began to growl.
She instantly tugged at Stanley’s hand, and the two of them sat on each of Yaksha’s sides.
“Have some more. I prepared all these myself. The ingredients are all fresh. You can’t taste any of this in the city.
“The bamboo shoots are grown in the wild… The bacon from the pigs that I raised, and I hunted for the rest of the stuff in the ocean while you were out…” Yaksha added.
His words made the meal seem even more enticing to Xyla.
Xyla excitedly picked up the dining utensils. “Thank you… Thank you for preparing such a huge feast for us. It must have been a lot of trouble for you…” She said.
“Don’t be so formal with me… Alright, hurry up and eat…” Yaksha said as he picked up his dining utensils.
Once Yaksha began to eat, Xyla and Stanley also did the same.
Yaksha had excellent culinary skills.
