Almost everyone who attended the banquet at the Imperial Palace had eaten beforehand. After all, getting food at such a place would be seen as somewhat degrading. However, Long Yi, being the honest person he was, genuinely thought he was there to eat. He ignored the warnings from Little Zi and Ai Lin and skipped lunch altogether, deciding to have a feast at the emperor's expense.
At this point, Long Yi was so hungry he was seeing stars.
The good news was there was plenty of food, and nobody was touching it. He picked up a pure silver plate with gold edges, a stone-encrusted fork, and some food he had never seen before. He found a corner, watched the world go by, and ate while in a daze.
"You can't eat this fruit straight away. It needs to be soaked in hard liquor, or else it will be bitter," a voice sounded next to him. When Long Yi turned to look, he saw Black Dragon Tyl. Like Long Yi, the old black dragon had an even larger plate filled to the brim with food.
