Chapter 193 - 193: Sweet Good Worm
Davies’ eyes sparkled with excitement, his yearning for the Royal Food Manor evident. Ever since obtaining the Al, he occasionally received consultations on ancient cuisine.
He had always been curious about the healing properties of ancient cultural delicacies and the discussions among netizens regarding these delicacies. However, due to Zhou Ye’s absence and his warning not to wander off, Davies had to suppress his curiosity for the time being.
But now, with the opening of the Royal Gourmet Manor branch near their current residence, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He wanted Mi Lu to accompany him on this expedition.
In Davies’ mind, Mi Lu was Zhou Ye’s wife, and he believed that if Mi Lu expressed her desire to visit the manor, Zhou Ye, being fond of Mi Lu, would surely agree.
Coincidentally, Zhou Ye had returned home and overheard Davies’ words. He smiled and addressed him, “You can tell me directly. There’s no need for Mi Lu to convey the message.”
Davies, caught in his plan, blinked innocently with his green eyes and replied, “But you said not to go out. I was afraid you would reject my request if I asked you directly. How sad would I be if that happened?”
Zhou Ye found his expression amusing. “I told you not to wander off, but it doesn’t mean you can’t go out at all. I’m simply concerned that someone might identify your true identity as a rare transformed insect and take you to a laboratory for research.”
Davies threw his hands up in exasperation. “Well, I thought you meant I couldn’t go out at all. Humans are so difficult to understand!”
“Compared to the language of the Zergs, human communication is indeed more complex. It’s not solely based on literal meanings; you also need to grasp the underlying intentions behind the words,” Zhou Ye remarked. Davies’ behavior reminded Mi Lu of their daughter. Sometimes, their daughter would wear the same helpless expression. She wondered how their daughter was faring and if she was leading a happy life.
Observing his wife’s disappointed expression, Zhou Ye approached her and embraced her, offering comfort. “Don’t worry. With Ling around, our daughter Mili will be well taken care of. Once we unravel the rebel army’s plans and ensure the alliance’s safety, we can return to the alliance. Then, we will have the opportunity to see our adorable Mili again.”
Mi Lu nestled into her husband’s arms, finding solace in his familiar presence.
She nodded softly. “I understand. I miss Mili too.”
“Alright, I have a plan. The Royal Food Manor branch is opening tomorrow, and Carrick has given me three tickets. We’ll assume the roles of Kevin’s family. You and I will portray a loving couple with years of marriage, and Davies will be our exceptional son. Let’s enjoy a wonderful vacation at the Royal Food Manor,” Zhou Ye suggested.
Mi Lu knew that her husband wanted to bring joy to her, and Davies was excited about the idea as well. She agreed with a smile.
Davies had no objections. They were like a family within the rebel army, and he had always yearned to visit the royal food manor.
After finalizing their plans, Davies excused himself and retreated to his room, leaving Zhou Ye and Mi Lu some privacy.
As Davies walked, he couldn’t help but think, ‘He’s such a thoughtful worm!’
The next day, Zhou Ye drove the flying car, accompanied by his wife Mi Lu and Davies, to the Royal Food Manor just before the opening ceremony.
The atmosphere was vibrant and lively at the opening ceremony. Loya had extended invitations to numerous esteemed nobles to celebrate the inauguration of the royal gourmet manor. The dignitaries were then invited to partake in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, captured by the media’s cameras, before entering the manor.
Since it was the first day of business, despite the limited availability of tickets, Xiao Han and Loya had devised a plan. They set up small stalls outside the manor, offering affordable snacks and easily prepared delicacies from ancient culture. This allowed those who couldn’t secure tickets to the manor a chance to enjoy the delectable ancient culinary delights at a reasonable cost.
Before the manor’s opening, the nobles of the aristocratic class were granted two tickets each, courtesy of the royal family. Wealthy aristocratic families had also secured tickets through monetary means. As a result, only a limited number of commoners had the opportunity to try their luck and acquire a ticket to the royal gourmet manor during the ticket sales period on the Star
