I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Chapter 131: Before the Feast (1)

Ling Pingan placed the beef in the slow oven and looked at the time.

“I’ll come back to take a look in an hour…” as he said, he picked up the kitten, Bastet, who was sleeping beside the plastic basin and slowly walked down the stairs.

When he walked down.

All the drones lost their monitoring of the rooftop.

Because there was an invisible fog that started to envelop the rooftop.

Situ He and Xia Ping were in the monitoring room were still reluctant to leave.

They were still looking at the rooftop that was covered by the fog. They were imagining what was happening on the rooftop at the same time.

It must be something marvelous.

And it must be something that ordinary people could not imagine!

… … … … … … ..

At 10 p.m.

A passenger plane slowly landed at Capital’s International Airport.

“Dear passengers, the passenger plane has arrived at Capital International Airport… You must be tired due to the rough journey…”

“On behalf of all the colleagues and people of Beizhou Airlines, I would like to thank our brothers and sisters for their assistance!”

Under the captain’s broadcast, Li Anan opened her eyes and nudged Chu Weiwei, who was sleeping soundly beside her. “Silly Weiwei, we’re home!”

Chu Weiwei opened her eyes and looked around. Then, she saw Lee Anan’s flawless face.

“Captain, we’re home?” She asked in a daze.

“Kid!” An old man wearing a marshal’s coat walked over with a smile. “We are home!”

“Commander in Chief!” Chu Weiwei immediately saluted.

Li Anan also saluted immediately. “Commander in Chief!”

“Don’t be so restrained…” the commander in chief said amiably, “I’m just an old man outside of working hours!”

“Oh right…” the Commander in Chief looked at Li Anan and asked, “Captain Li, do you plan to go home to visit your family?”

“Reporting to the Commander in Chief, I have already booked the high-speed train for tonight at 11 o’clock!” Lee Anan immediately reported.

“Good! Good!” The Commander in Chief said with a smile, “I wonder if Captain Li would welcome an old man like me to visit your residence?”

“I would be honored!” Li Anan immediately said. She lowered her head and thought for some time before she said, “Commander in Chief, it’s just that… to tell you the truth, I have been deceiving my family…”

“Because I was afraid that my family would be worried, I’ve been lying that I’m working at the Federal Empire’s Ancient Cultural Research Institute…”

“I even forged my identity for this…”

That was the common experience of most members of the Blackguards.

That was not only to protect themselves but also to reassure their families.

After all, the Blackguards were not an official organization of the Federal Empire and was secret.

They were special personnel who were fighting on the secret battlefront to protect the country.

“It doesn’t matter!” The Commander in Chief said with a smile, “I, this old man, can even act as the vice president of the Ancient Culture Research Institute!”

He took out a document as if he was performing a magic trick, “Captain Li, look. I’m also the honorary president of the Ancient Culture Research Council!”

“Then…” Li Anan blushed as she said, “This subordinate welcomes you!”

The Commander in Chief nodded with a smile. “See you tomorrow then…”

Unintentionally, the Commander in Chief of the Federal Empire, the strongest human on this planet, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He was a craving!

On the tablet in his hand, there was a screenshot of beef.

Colorful psionic energy was flowing in the marbled texture.

The crystal-like salt grains were as dazzling as the stars.

That was a work of art!

It was also priceless divine meat and a supreme medicine!

“I wonder if there is a difference between this meat and the Tang monk’s meat?” The Commander-in-Chief of the Blackguard of the Capital, the special advisor of the Royal Family, and the Assisting Minister, Marshal Li Shouyi, could not help but wonder.

… … … … ..

Ling Pingan couldn’t help but yawn.

The television in front was broadcasting the disaster situation of the various countries in Nanyang.

The floods were flooding the Lanfang Gonghe.

The typhoon once again wreaked havoc on the Samboja.

The coastal areas of the Jiaozhi Kingdom were flooded with seawater.

“How pitiful!” Ling Pingan sighed.

The good news was that the federal hub had finally started to transport large amounts of disaster relief supplies, tents, and medical personnel to participate in disaster relief.

However, the proposal to mobilize the military to assist in disaster relief was still blocked at the cabinet meeting.

That was something that couldn’t be helped!

The Federal Empire had always been very cautious when using their military to the outside world.

Just like the ancient emperors who ascended to the throne, the Federal Empire was very arrogant when it used its military to the outside world.

It required the applicant country to apply three times, and then the federation hub would reject it three times.

In the end, when there was no other way.

Only then would the federation hub be able to issue a statement saying, “I don’t want to use the military. It was all because of their repeated requests that I had no choice but to agree out of justice and love.” Only then would they approve the deployment of the military.

That was a traditional skill.

It had a history of at least 300 years!

However, that often caused the delay to most of the things.

Just like this time, Ling Pingan heard that the ambassadors of the various countries in Nanyang were about to cry at the cabinet meeting.

However, the cabinet ministers were still carefree.

Fortunately, that kind of sad news was over soon.

A serious face appeared on the television.

He wore a standard teacher’s uniform, and on his chest was a ‘Federal Empire Education Medal’ issued by the Empire’s imperial family.

“On behalf of the Federal Empire’s Education Committee, I strongly condemn the shameful acts of celebrity fans invading the campus!”

“Students are the future of the country, the hope of the motherland!”

“Any actions that harm and affect the normal order of the campus are trampling and harming the work and contributions of all the educators in the Federal Empire for the past 300 years!”

Ling Pingan watched and immediately laughed.

“There’s a good show to watch!”

The members of the education committee were all famous teachers of the empire. They were the backbone of the country’s education department and were well-known figures in the local areas.

If they were all alarmed, it could only be said that those few celebrities were really in trouble.

Therefore, he took out his phone and went into his Weibo. He saw the video of those few celebrities crying and apologizing in the trending searches.

It seemed that they knew the seriousness of the matter were scared.

“If they knew this would happen, why did they have to do it in the first place!” Ling Pingan curled his lips. He had no sympathy for them.

As for the fans, who were mourning with their idols on Weibo, Ling Pingan knew that they would soon find new celebrities to fan of.

After all, they were all created with the same method. They were all products of the same mold.

Changing an idol was as easy as changing a teacup for an ordinary person.

“Let’s go up and take a look at my meat!” Ling Pingan turned off the TV and stood up. It was almost midnight.

He pulled down the shutter door and looked at the kitten sleeping soundly on the blanket.

“Little guy…” he smiled and turned off the light.

Then, he took his phone and walked upstairs.

Creak, creak, creak, the old stairs were shaking.

Behind him, at the entrance of the bookstore, the pyramid was reflected behind the kitten, Bastet.

It was no longer a shadow, but a real body!

… … … ..

Walking up to the third floor, Ling Pingan pushed open the door and saw that the charcoal fire in the stove on the rooftop was slowly extinguishing.

He quickly approached the oven, picked up a few pieces of applewood, and added them in.

Then, he lifted the lid.

The beef in front of him had been roasted to the point that the fat was sizzling out.

The surface of the beef had turned golden, making him drool.

The entire rooftop was filled with the rich aroma of meat.

Ling Pingan pulled out the thermometer that was inserted into the meat. He looked at the temperature of the meat. It was already forty degrees.

He nodded and inserted the thermometer back in.

He needed the internal temperature of this piece of meat to reach about seventy degrees. Then the piece of meat would be truly perfect when the temperature achieved the requirement!

As for now…

He temporarily took this piece of meat out of the stove and placed it on the tin foil that had already been prepared on the chopping board.

Then, he took out a sprayer that had already been prepared and sprayed some mixed spices water on it.

The mixed spice water sprayed onto the scalding surface of the beef, making a sizzling sound.

“Awesome!” That was the sound that Ling Pingan wanted to hear!

He wrapped this piece of meat tightly and then put it back into the slow-roasting oven. At the same time, he adjusted the slow-roasting heat insulation board.

Now, it began to enter the most critical roasting time.

That would last for at least six hours until the internal temperature reached the requirement!

… … … ..

The high-speed train traveled smoothly that night.

In the almost empty business cabin, the old man who had just woken up looked at the pictures on the tablet.

He swallowed his drooling saliva.

These pictures had just been sent to him.

It was a piece of meat!

Golden-yellow beef and colorful bands of light surrounded the meat like Saturn’s beautiful rings in the starry sky, making it look like the meat of the legendary monk, Tang.

What was even more fatal was that drops of glittering and translucent gravy stuck to the surface of the meat.

Each drop of gravy seemed to have a gem in it.

The old man looked at it in a daze.

“I’m so hungry…” he said, then turned to a worker at the door of the train and said, “Please make me a bucket of instant noodles!”

After seeing that piece of meat, the old man felt that all the delicacies in the world were no longer attractive.

They were nothing different from instant noodles.
