My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 727 - 245 Insect Clan Feast (Part 2)

Even though the Minister of the Military had a stern personality, he understood the importance of speaking well, especially at this moment. Although Ke Lian was angry, he could tell that Ke Lian’s intention to "hold someone accountable" wasn’t that deep.

Indeed, as soon as the Minister of the Military softened his tone to plead and praised Du Xixi, Ke Lian snorted, easing his expression.

"Do you still not believe me? Although the Insect Clan’s corpses are filled with toxins, I’ve had people study them. Many parts, as long as you’re careful, won’t come into contact with the toxins." The Minister of the Military stood up, personally poured two cups of tea for Du Xixi and Ke Lian, and cordially invited them to a comfortable guest sofa at the side. "I’m aware of Li Feng’s methods; Xixi should have received those materials by now? Rest assured, if you follow the materials, nothing major will happen."

"Moreover..." The Minister of the Military deliberately lowered his voice at this point, so only the three of them could hear what he said next, "Xixi isn’t afraid of the Insect Clan’s toxins either."

The Minister of the Military still remembered what happened before when Yiyi and Er Er of the Ke Family suffered hidden injuries from the Insect Clan’s toxins. Both the Ke Family and Your Majesty were in a state of fury, and he was in charge of investigating the matter and got to know the process of how Yiyi and Er Er were healed.

Although the Fifth Old Doctor had examined the two children, with his medical skills and the time he stayed with the Ke Family, the Minister of the Military guessed that it wasn’t him who cured the toxins.

Since then, though the Minister of the Military hadn’t asked further, he occasionally paid attention to cases within the Empire where the Insect Clan’s toxins were cured. Over so long, not only in the Blue Star Empire but across the entire interstellar space, the only case of cure he’d heard of was Mo Ying.

And during the time when Mo Ying was cured, Du Xixi and they happened to visit Mo Ying’s home.

The Minister of the Military wasn’t foolish. He immediately guessed the crux of the matter, especially during the "wormhole incident" before. He was one of the main people responsible for selecting candidates for the mission, but all of them were vetoed by Your Majesty.

Your Majesty’s reason was that these soldiers lacked culinary skills, implying little help would be provided in that world. But would Du Xixi’s cooking skills really be of help there? Bringing a robot like 2569, capable of storing vast supplies, made culinary skills secondary.

Yet, Your Majesty insisted his way, and the final candidate was none other than Du Xixi, who volunteered initially.

The Minister of the Military speculated that with Du Xixi’s 3S-level spiritual power, she likely awakened a spiritual power talent, and her spiritual power talent should have excellent effects in healing.

Therefore, Du Xixi, who could cook, was skilled, and had a unique spiritual power talent, became the best candidate to rescue Ke Lian and others in that world—although whether spiritual power could be used in that world was another matter, Du Xixi clearly had some advantages.

The Minister of the Military wore a mysterious look, with a hint of a smile, and after exchanging a glance, Du Xixi and Ke Lian ended up smiling along, showing no unease at having their secret uncovered.

Perhaps, it wasn’t just because they trusted the Minister’s character, but also because the current situation was stable. Even if Du Xixi’s spiritual power talent were exposed, people wouldn’t be as worried as before.

As of now, the Four Great Empires had perished. Across all interstellar space, everyone had to concede to the Blue Star Empire somewhat. This power increased dramatically over the past few months and now firmly occupied the second position in the interstellar rankings, making it more than capable of protecting Du Xixi.

"Don’t reveal it for now." Ke Lian nodded at the Minister of the Military, confirming his suspicion. Hearing this, the Minister of the Military let out a hearty laugh, the stern old general relaxed his shoulders slightly and said softly, "I understand, even though there’s no fear now, it’s not the best time yet."

Revealing it now wouldn’t harm Du Xixi, but the resulting uproar would indeed lead to troublesome waves.

This matter concerning Du Xixi was evaded for now. Knowing that the Minister of the Military had no choice but to approach Du Xixi, they didn’t dwell on it. Du Xixi picked up the tea, "If Insect Clan meat can truly be made into delicacies like ordinary ingredients, I believe everyone’s enthusiasm for killing the Insect Clan would rise somewhat."
