  (Today, change style, whatever, a serious call to click on collection recommendation Sanjiang votes)

  Of course, I'd be delighted to show you some interesting new products!

  Along with Lin Taiping's words, the originally noisy banquet hall suddenly fell into a strange silence. The surrounding nobles and noblewomen all quieted down, unanimously turning their heads around.

  "New goods?" Viscount Ford rubbed his hands eagerly, and glanced at Mrs. Elizabeth beside him. The ordinary Totem he had brought before had helped him conquer this beautiful socialite so smoothly, so would the new goods he brought this time be faster, stronger and more lasting?

  "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Lin Taiping ignored Viscount Forte's eager gaze and coughed lightly a few times, "In fact, the new goods I brought this time are prepared for Lady Elizabeth and the ladies present."

  "For us?" Mrs. Elizabeth's eyes widened in surprise, and the noble ladies and madams beside her gathered around with curiosity, "Dear Mr. Lin, do you mean that you have prepared something new for us?"

  "That's right!" Lin Taiping bowed politely, with a smile all over his face. "However, this is our secret. If the gentlemen don't mind, may I temporarily leave the banquet hall and have a private conversation with the ladies?"

  What's going on in private? Viscount Ford and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Before they could ask, the curious noblewomen urged them to leave.

  What could they do? Although the nobles were very reluctant, they couldn't refuse the request of a group of beautiful ladies. So, even though they were full of curiosity, they had to leave temporarily with a sigh. Before leaving, Viscount Ford reminded again: "Dear Elizabeth, if anything happens, you must call me loudly, be sure to call loudly..."

  Bang! Lin Taiping directly shut the door, looking at the dozens of noblewomen and young ladies present, he smiled and clapped his hands: "Alright, respected ladies, now we can discuss the new merchandise... Ye Ge?"

  "Huh?" Ye Ge was enthusiastically watching the commotion from the side when she was suddenly and inexplicably called out, leaving her bewildered.

  "Please bring out that secret medicine." Lin Taiping turned his head to look at her, with a smile all over his face and stretched out his hand, "That's right, it's the very precious kind."

  "What... what kind?" Ye Ge's eyes went blank as she shook her pointed ears, suddenly feeling like her IQ was rapidly declining.

  "What do you think?" Lin Taiping secretly winked and lowered his voice, "Do you still remember what happened on the boat? You planned to seduce me into having children and used that strange medicine. Of course, in the end I became a skeleton..."

  Which pot doesn't open, which pot. Thinking of the awkward situation when facing a skull monster at that time, Yege suddenly hated it so much that her teeth were itching. However, she immediately reacted and unbelievably perked up her pointed ears: "Eh, you mean that kind?"

  "Otherwise?" Lin Taiping looked at her with a sympathetic gaze, as if looking at a fool. "Come on, I know you always carry it with you, don't be so stingy."

  "Stingy you!" Ye Ge rolled her eyes in annoyance, still wincing in pain as she reached into her pocket and pulled out the bottle of sky-blue transparent medicine. "Listen up, this medicine is very precious and requires over a dozen rare materials. If you dare to waste it carelessly... hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

  Completely disregarding her resentment, Lin Taiping directly snatched the bottle of blue medicine and showed it to all the women present: "Noble ladies, noble misses, please allow me to solemnly introduce to you that this miraculous elixir comes from the Dark Elf tribe and has been carefully refined by the Eastern Alchemist..."

  At this point of nonsense, he was shaking the crystal bottle and under the gaze of dozens of curious eyes, gently pulled out the wooden stopper.

  In an instant, the elegant and refreshing fragrance spread throughout the hall, and the noblewomen around her all took a deep breath, feeling that this fragrance was intoxicating. Elizabeth's eyes lit up, revealing a look of longing: "Hmm, is this perfume? It smells wonderful."

  "Unfortunately, it's not perfume." Lin Taiping made a disappointed face, casually picked up a bowl of creamy mushroom soup from the dinner table, and carefully tilted the crystal bottle to pour three drops of blue liquid into the mushroom soup.

  One drop, two drops, three drops. The moment the blue liquid came into contact with the mushroom soup, it merged silently and instantly. The originally fragrant mushroom soup suddenly emitted an even more intense aroma, enveloping the entire banquet hall.

  "Condiments?" The noble ladies stretched their necks in unison, like a row of ducks hung over an oven. "I've heard that on the distant eastern continent, there are some peculiar condiments, such as soy sauce?"

  "No, this is not soy sauce, nor is it vinegar." Lin Taiping turned his head to look around, a bit worried, and patted his forehead, "Alright, now we still need to find an experimental subject. That guy must be brave, with a big enough appetite, best if he can finish this bowl of soup in one breath..."

  "What soup? What soup?" Turu, who was crouched in the corner gobbling away, suddenly jumped up with a burst of energy, his two cow-like eyes shining with golden light.

  Completely ignoring what was said earlier, he sniffled his nose vigorously, and when he saw the bowl of creamy mushroom soup, he immediately rushed over excitedly: "Wow, it smells so good! If no one else is planning to drink it, then I won't be polite!"

  A few seconds later, before anyone else could react, this guy had already picked up the creamy mushroom soup and gulped it down in one breath. He even stuck out his long tongue to lick the bottom of the bowl, savoring the flavor: "The taste, the taste is absolutely fantastic! This is the most delicious thing I've ever... Hmm? Lin, why are you looking at me so weirdly?"

  Very good and powerful, Lin Taiping could only use that kind of gaze to look at the dead, very sympathetically looking at it: "Cough cough, Tuluo ah, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

  "Nope." Toru shook his head blankly, indicating he was full of energy. "Weird, why did you ask that? Ahhh, I suddenly remembered, there should still be a big pot of soup in the kitchen. Anyone interested in going with me?"

  Of course, they were interested. A group of Minotaurs had been drooling for a long time and immediately surrounded the great chieftain, excitedly rushing to the kitchen. From far away, Tulou could still be heard shouting: "Delicious! Truly delicious! Why do I feel that my whole body is filled with energy after drinking this bowl of soup? Even if you ask me to fight a dragon alone, it's no problem."

  "You're dead for sure!" Lin Taiping gazed at its back, silently mourning a hundred times in his heart.

  "Is it fatal?" The noblewomen beside her heard this and couldn't help but shiver, Elizabeth's face turned pale as she covered her cherry lips and took a few steps back. "Mr. Lin, that medicine isn't poisonous, is someone going to die?"

  "How is that possible?" Before Lin Taiping could respond, Ye Ge rolled her eyes in a weird way, and even had an expression of heartache, "What a waste, that stupid cow got it for free. If only you knew what kind of secret medicine..."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud shout was heard from the kitchen, followed by the cow-headed people's cries of surprise and amazement, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

  What happened? Dozens of noblewomen were shocked, and almost at the same time, the nobles outside the door heard the commotion and rushed in one after another: "What's wrong? What's wrong? We seem to have heard a scream?"

  Before he could finish, a loud shout came from the kitchen, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground. A group of nobles looked at each other in dismay, grabbed the candelabra on the table, and charged forward with courage. Dozens of ladies and girls held up their skirts and followed behind, trembling with fear, while some people turned pale with fright.

  Only a few seconds later, when they nervously rushed to the kitchen and saw the scene inside, they were collectively stunned.

  In the crowded kitchen, a large group of Minotaurs stood upright against the wall, their mouths agape in excitement. In the empty space between them, Tulou knelt on one knee before the head chef, holding a bunch of scallions.

  It turns out that the kitchen aunt hired by Mr. Cohen, although her cooking skills are quite good, but her appearance is really bad, with a head full of messy curly hair, six feet tall and six feet around the waist, with so much flesh on her face that she could go out and rob people.

  But Turo didn't mind at all, and even tightly grasped the other's hand. His large cow eyes were full of emotion: "Moo! My dear, from the day I saw you, I deeply fell in love with you... Moo! Please accept this bunch of green onions as a symbol of our beautiful love!"

  What a touching and sincere confession of love! The onlookers, including the cow-headed people, were moved to tears. The aunt from the kitchen was also deeply touched, and immediately waved two frying pans, smashing them with no hesitation: "Bastard! Go die for me! If you have nothing better to do, go out and mop the floor, don't come here to make fun of my poverty!"

  Bang! Tulou didn't dodge or evade, letting the heavy frying pan hit him squarely on the head. It was as if nothing had happened, and he still tightly grasped the other person's hand, his eyes brimming with tears: "Moo, it doesn't hurt. As long as you like it, I can take as many hits as you want. Moo, after all, when you hit me, the pain is in your heart!"

  "Damn you! The furious kitchen aunt has completely gone berserk, this time not wielding two frying pans but directly picking up a cleaver to chase and kill for three hundred miles, planning to directly perform the 'Pao Ding Jie Niu'!"

  The problem is, the fleeing Turo, who was being chased, still had the mood to confess while running: "Moo, I just like you so gentle, moo, just like my mother treated me back then, moo, we are destined to be together, moo!"

  What's going on? What's happening here?

  Everyone present was stunned, feeling as if their brains were filled with paste. Mrs. Elizabeth's eyes widened in incredulity, covering her violently heaving high-piled bosom: "Why, why did this Minotaur suddenly... wait, could it be because of that bottle of medicine?"

  In an instant, all the ladies and girls turned their heads in unison, looking at the crystal bottle in Lin Taiping's hand.

  Under the gaze of dozens of scorching eyes, Lin Taiping gently lifted up that bottle of blue medicine, eight snow-white shiny teeth, shining with a golden light under the candlelight.

  "That's right! All the wonders come from this precious and rare... enchanting elixir!"
