You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 458 - 224: Stepmother Is Having a Second Child

The royal banquet, in terms of specification, was certainly far superior to the Linjiang Commerce Association banquet Ye Qingzhou had attended before.

But the Dongji Kingdom on Blue Star, after all, is the most industrialized nation of human civilization; therefore, whether in terms of opulence or the delicacy of the food, the Linjiang Commerce Association was far superior to the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Take pastries for example, the pastries from the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom left Ye Qingzhou completely without appetite.

As for the tableware, the knives, forks, chopsticks, and plates from the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom were far from exquisite.

However, there was one aspect where the Linjiang Commerce Association was far inferior, and that was the grade of exotic treasures.

Rare birds and beasts, seldom seen on Blue Star, were everywhere in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, especially as tonight was the national feast of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom.

As a result, guards and maidservants soon pushed six "mountains of meat" into the hall, each mountain exuding a powerful wave of Primordial Qi.

Among them, three of the Qi mechanisms reached Master Level in intensity!

Another two of the Qi mechanisms reached Grandmaster Level in intensity!

And the largest pile among them had Qi mechanism intensity at Martial Saint Level!

Even though these six exotic beasts had been dead for a long time, ordinary people still felt shivers running down their spines and their hearts filled with fear and terror when they approached.

Although Ye Qingzhou wouldn’t react that way, he was still deeply shaken by the grandeur of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom.

What is luxury?

This is luxury!

Hunting a Martial Saint level exotic beast, then roasting and eating its meat—on Blue Star, only the few truly at the pinnacle of the power hierarchy could enjoy such treatment and benefits.

One could only say, a national feast is indeed a national feast.

Lian Hongyin sat next to Ye Qingzhou, smiling as she introduced, "Today we are enjoying the Six Pig Banquet, which is considered traditional cuisine of our Rakshasa Woman Kingdom."

The Six Pig Banquet originates from the food crisis faced when the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom was first founded.

The first sovereign had personally donned armor and fought fiercely, relying on the hunt of six Martial Saint level Pig Beasts to acquire a large amount of meat, which helped all the clan members survive the hardship.

Since then, in commemoration of the progenitor’s achievements, a Six Pig Banquet is held domestically whenever there is a significant event.

Pig Beasts are effectively the ancestors of pigs. They absorbed a large amount of Primordial Qi in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven and exhibited many changes in form depending on their living environment.

Within the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom’s territory, there are a total of six types of Pig Beasts.

The first is the Giant Boar, it looks like a pig with white fur, fur as thick as chopsticks, with black tips, which it can shoot out with force like a strong crossbow when angry. Eating its meat can improve body coordination.

The second is Rou Chi, resembling a wild boar, but it has horns and emits a sound like a human’s wailing cry. Eating its meat grants strong mental resistance, partially counteracting illusion techniques and charms.

The third is Mountain Ointment, which also resembles a wild boar but is completely red and perpetually burns with Pill Fire, always in a furious state, extremely aggressive. Eating its meat enhances understanding of the Path of Fire, granting fire control ability.

The fourth is Wenlin, which also looks like a pig, but its body is yellow, with a white head and tail. It feeds on wind, and eating its meat enhances understanding of the Path of Wind, granting wind control ability.

The fifth is the Flying Fish, which although pig-shaped, has red scales possessing some characteristics of fish, extremely fast, able to run like flying. Eating its meat makes the skin hard, even impervious to blades and spears.

The sixth is Pengpeng, identical to a wild boar but indeed has a head at both front and back, the entire body black. Eating its meat enhances understanding of the Path of Water, granting water control ability.

Of course, these enhancements are limited in extent; eating more won’t increase the effect.

The higher the cultivation of the exotic beast, the bigger its body often is. Therefore, regardless of how it tastes, the amount of meat at this Six Pig Banquet is substantial, each portion weighs in tons.

Very soon, Sovereign Lian Huoji drew her sword, and the sharp blade in her hand was none other than the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom’s National Guardian Divine Weapon—the Simurgh Phoenix Dual Blades.

For thousands of years, the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom has retained many ancient customs and traditions, such as at banquets, only the highest-ranking person is usually qualified to oversee the "meat distribution."

This is a remnant of an ancient custom from tribal times.

Lian Huoji moved, dual blades in hand, dancing around the six mountains of meat like a butterfly among flowers. Her techniques were extremely graceful, extravagant, and lethal.

The sharp dual blades sliced along the muscle fibers and bone seams, and in the blink of an eye, the six masses of meat were completely dissected and divided.

Yet, it somehow maintained the Pig Beasts’ complete form, preserving their original shape.

This control of power was truly awe-inspiring.

Ye Qingzhou’s eyes shone as he admired in his heart: "To enter the finite from the infinite, such swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle; beneath the blade, all things can be cleaved."

After Lian Huoji finished cutting the meat and sheathed her blades, maidservants approached and served the sliced meat onto the dining table.

The order followed the rank of nobility; those with higher rank naturally received their meat first, while those with lower rank could only eat what was left.

"Prince, which part do you like to eat?"

Lian Hongyin smiled charmingly and dearly towards Ye Qingzhou, the young new prince: "I can let you choose first, don’t be polite, otherwise if others take it, you’ll have to wait until next time."
