Chapter 1673: Ten Strings of Kidneys

"Grandpa, why are you here? Is something wrong?"

Situ Dianmo asked.

"I came to find Ye Bufan," Situ Changkong said. "The Palace Master wants me to inform you that a Martial Arts Convention will be held at the Heavenly Palace in four hours. You must attend."

"Oh! What Martial Arts Convention?"

After Ye Bufan returned to the Imperial Capital, he reported the situation outside to Lin Zhentian, but he was not very clear about what was happening at the Heavenly Palace.

Situ Changkong explained, "The second Seal of the Kunlun Immortal Realm is about to open, which will definitely be a disaster for Huaxia.

By then, who knows how many Imperial Realm experts will descend? The people you have might not be enough.

So, the Palace Master has gathered the heads of various sects and their Core Disciples to discuss the grand plan to counter the Kunlun Immortal Realm at the Heavenly Palace today."

Situ Dianmo asked, "Doesn't that mean a lot of people have come?"

"Indeed, many," Situ Changkong said. "All the well-known major sects in Huaxia have sent people to attend."

Ye Bufan nodded, "Alright, I'll go over later."

"Remember, in four hours, don't miss the time."

Situ Changkong reminded him again, then left in a hurry.

After he left, Helena looked at Ye Bufan, "Dear, are we still going for a big meal?"

"Of course, nothing is more important than eating, and we still have plenty of time."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he got into the car with the others, and after about ten minutes, they stopped in a parking lot.

Helena looked around. This was not the bustling area of the Imperial Capital; it seemed to be a relatively remote suburb.

"Dear, didn't you say you were taking us for a big meal? What is this place?"

"It is a big meal, right here."

Ye Bufan smiled at her, then led the way towards a barbecue restaurant not far away.

"Dear, you're not going to make us eat here, are you?"

Helena looked at the barbecue restaurant in front of her with a surprised expression. It was no wonder she reacted this way, as the shop was simply too crude.

There were no high-rise star hotels, no grand decorations; everything was extremely simple.

There was a row of five large tile-roofed houses, with seven or eight tables set up outside the entrance. It looked very lively, with many customers eating there.

Crude as it was, everything looked (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) clean and tidy.

Ye Bufan smiled, "That's right, it's here."

"Dear, didn't you say 'big meal'? What could possibly be good to eat here?"

Helena still didn't understand the situation. She grew up in the Divine Court, with noble status, always frequenting star hotels wherever she went, and had never eaten at such a roadside stall.

"You wouldn't understand. The real delicacies are all here, not in those high-end restaurants."

Ye Bufan said as he walked into the barbecue restaurant.

"Ye Dage, you're here!"

As soon as they entered, a young girl came up to them, greeting them warmly. She was about twenty years old, with a ponytail tied behind her head.

Although dressed simply, it still couldn't hide her youthful aura and pretty face. While there was still a slight gap compared to Situ Dianmo and the others, she would definitely be a campus belle at any school.

Ye Bufan asked, "Are there any private rooms left?"

Although it was livelier outside, he had Helena and two other women with him, and he didn't want to sit outside and become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Ye Dage, you've come at just the right time. The last customers just left, and I just finished cleaning the table."

The young girl was articulate and had a very pleasant voice. While speaking, she enthusiastically led them to a private room inside.

Once everyone was seated, she poured each person a cup of tea and politely asked, "What would everyone like to eat?"

Before Ye Bufan could speak, Situ Dianmo quickly interjected, "Give him ten large kidneys!"

"Cough, cough…"

Ye Bufan had just taken a sip of tea and almost choked when he heard that.

After finally catching his breath, he asked, "What do you want so many large kidneys for?"

Situ Dianmo said earnestly, "I don't eat that stuff. It's for you."

Ye Bufan's face instantly darkened, "What do I want so many large kidneys for?"

"I don't know either. I saw online that you men love to eat this, so I ordered a lot for you."

Situ Dianmo retorted, "By the way, why do you men love to eat this kind of thing?"

"I…"

Ye Bufan was speechless. How could he explain such a thing?

Men who order large kidneys usually have a purpose, but as the dignified Medical Immortal and an Imperial Realm expert, he certainly didn't need such things to nourish his body.

"Alright (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), I'll order."

Saying that, he took the menu from the young girl's hand and ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes.

After ordering, the young girl took the menu and left. Helena asked, looking puzzled, "Dear, did you order that large kidney?"

"No."

Helena asked again, "Why not? Is that thing very delicious?"

Ye Bufan was speechless; this was truly impossible to explain.

Helena, however, was persistent: "Dear, I want to try what a large kidney tastes like."

"Uh…"

Ye Bufan had no choice but to call the young girl over and order a few large kidneys.

Soon, various grilled skewers were served, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air.

"It smells so good…"

The lowest cultivation level among those present was Martial Saint, and in fact, they no longer had much need for food. Yet, when they smelled the aroma of these skewers, they couldn't help but salivate.

Helena and the others were all eager to eat, and immediately grabbed the meat skewers and began to eat.

"Delicious, it's really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food before."

Helena and Lucia praised as they ate.

Even Situ Dianmo, who lived in Huaxia, was full of praise: "Ye Dage, the meat skewers here are truly delicious. How did you find this place?"

Ye Bufan said, "I saw it on my phone before, and I've eaten here a few times. The taste is indeed very good."

"Dear, this large kidney is really delicious."

Helena's appetite was greatly stimulated, and she actually ate two large kidneys in a row.

Ye Bufan secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. If people knew that the Divine Emperor loved eating large kidneys so much, who knew what her followers would think.

The group ate and chatted, and soon finished all the food the owner had served.

Helena licked her tongue, still wanting more: "Dear, I haven't had enough. Can we have some more?"

The others were also like this, all looking over with eager eyes.

"Of course, you can."

Ye Bufan smiled and called the young girl again, but after several calls, there was no response from outside. Instead, a chaotic noise came through.

Feeling that something was wrong, he scanned with his Divine Sense, and his expression suddenly changed. He stood up and walked out the door.
