Chapter 1970 The Chief Steward
In fact, there is no reason. Just when the guard said the words "The Chief Steward invites you", Liu Jun's heart suddenly jumped, as if being tightly grasped by invisible hands. A strange feeling quietly came to his mind, causing him to frown slightly. Although he couldn't tell whether the feeling was good or bad, he couldn't help but want to refuse.
"Well, I should go." Hearing this, the guard was silent for a while, with a trace of doubt and hesitation in his eyes.
He obviously did not expect Liu Jun to ask this question. After all, in his past experience, once the chief steward ordered someone to be invited, the other party would happily go and wish they could fly to the chief steward immediately to show their respect. And this guy was the first person to raise objections, which made him feel at a loss for a moment.
Seeing this, Liu Jun felt reluctant and helpless, but he also understood where he was and could not act rashly.
Although he is stubborn, he also knows the principle of "a strong dragon will not suppress a local snake", and he is not willing to make enemies for no reason in this strange land.
"Okay, let's go then" Liu Jun stood up and said.
"Please follow me." The guard made a gesture of invitation and began to lead the way.
His steps were steady, and each step made a crisp sound as he stepped on the stone slabs.
The two of them walked out of the martial arts arena one after the other and walked along the winding corridor.
On both sides of the corridor are walls carved with complex totems, each pattern seeming to tell an ancient and mysterious story. The air is filled with a faint fragrance, which comes from the flowers and plants on both sides, adding a bit of vitality to the place.
After walking for half an hour, Liu Jun was almost vomiting from the endless wandering around, and the guard finally stopped at the entrance of a magnificent palace.
This palace stands tall and majestic, with golden glazed tiles shining in the sun, as if it were made of gold, demonstrating endless luxury and nobility. In front of the palace door, there are two lifelike beasts, their eyes widened, as if they are examining everyone who comes here.
There are many palaces like this in the entire Divine King's Palace, so this palace is not too conspicuous. People who are not in this Divine King's Palace cannot find it at all.
"Chief Steward, Grand Elder Liu Jun has invited us here." The guard stood upright at the entrance of the palace, with his hands folded in front of his belly, his expression respectful and solemn, and he said to the palace.
"Please come in, Elder Liu Jun." In the palace, a slightly older but energetic voice came slowly, carrying undoubted majesty and kindness.
"Please come in." Upon hearing this, the guard quickly made a more respectful gesture of invitation, leaning forward slightly, his eyes full of respect. His movements were smooth and natural, and he was obviously accustomed to such etiquette.
Liu Jun nodded and walked slowly into this ancient and glorious palace.
The interior decoration of this palace is luxurious yet elegant, and every detail reveals the craftsmen's exquisite skills and ultimate pursuit of beauty. Under the splendid dome, various palace lanterns were hung, illuminating the entire palace as if it were daytime. Each of the scrolls hanging on the wall is a priceless work of art, depicting the deeds of the Heavenly Fire God King, making people feel as if they are in the long river of history.
In the center of the palace, there was a huge round table with exquisite tea sets and fruits, which was obviously prepared for Liu Jun. There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants around, and the air is filled with a light fragrance, which is refreshing.
Liu Jun's eyes gently glanced around, and a trace of indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes unconsciously. He secretly thought in his heart that if he could rob the entire God's Palace, he would definitely become rich.
"Why, you have taken a fancy to something. As long as you like it, just take it." The old but majestic voice sounded again in the empty palace.
Liu Jun hurriedly looked around and saw an extremely gorgeously dressed woman with an old look on her face, hobbling over with a beautifully carved cane.
"Hello, Chief Steward." Liu Jun bowed slightly and saluted. The expression on his face was neither humble nor arrogant, showing the proper respect and calmness he deserved.
"Well, okay, then what do you like? You can choose carefully." The big steward continued to say kindly with a smile.
"To be honest, with my temperament, I naturally take a fancy to everything here. But although I have a huge appetite, I am very timid. I still know how much I weigh. Very good." Liu Jun replied methodically.
"Haha, young man, you are really interesting! If you really like it, there is no problem in giving this magnificent palace to you." The big steward laughed heartily as he continued.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I can't accept salary for nothing!" Liu Jun waved his hands hurriedly, his expression full of rejection.
"It's merit, it's definitely merit! You made the Thousand Feather City miserable and made the eight-winged bird man furious. To me, this is a great achievement!" The chief steward still said with a smile on his face. Extraordinarily brilliant.
It's just that Liu Jun can't laugh at this moment. When he was in Qianyu City, he always carefully wore the mask of Apocalypse, hiding his true identity tightly, and never exposed it in the slightest. How did the other party know? All of this.
"Don't be so surprised. Although I don't leave my house on weekdays, you can't hide anything that happens near God King City from me." The chief steward explained patiently when he saw the surprise on Liu Jun's face.
Liu Jun didn't say anything anymore, just stared at the chief steward quietly, waiting for the next step. "Come on, don't stand all the time. Sit down first. Let's chat while eating. You haven't had breakfast this morning!" The chief steward warmly asked Liu Jun to sit down at the exquisite round table.
Liu Jun frowned slightly and slowly sat down on the seat next to the round table, seemingly a little confused.
As soon as he sat down, before he could think about it, dozens of neatly dressed servants walked over lightly, carrying a variety of exquisite dishes in their hands, presented one by one like works of art on an assembly line. In front of his eyes.
What is striking is that one of the servants is actually holding a basin of rice steadily in his hand. The rice has clear grains, is crystal clear, and exudes an alluring luster.
Liu Jun's eyes were instantly attracted to the bowl of rice, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment in his heart. This is rice! Every grain of genuine polished rice is like a carefully carved treasure, shining with an alluring light. This is something he has never seen again in the God Realm for such a long time.
Although the God Realm is filled with delicious food and a wide variety of delicacies, Liu Jun really feels a little regretful when it comes to rice. The rice in the God Realm is mostly brown rice that is slightly yellowed and has a rough texture. Compared with the machine-polished white rice in the Human Realm, it is really far different.
Just as Liu Jun was immersed in his nostalgia and emotion for rice, those carefully prepared dishes were placed in front of him one by one. The steamed fish is extremely delicious, with tender and smooth meat; the roasted meat in sauce is bright red in color, fat but not greasy; the pan-fried chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside; the roast goose is golden and attractive, and the aroma is fragrant. There are also the fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, crispy chicken, and sauced meat slices. Every dish is like a feast carefully prepared for him, making him dizzy and salivating.
What’s even more surprising is that Liu Jun has eaten all these dishes many times in the human world before, and there are several that he likes very much.
Looking at this table of delicious food, Liu Jun's mood became a little complicated. He stared at every exquisite dish on the table, with unspeakable emotions surging in his heart. The colors of those dishes are just right and the aroma is fragrant.
He didn't even need to taste it, he could tell just by looking at the presentation that the cook was a top chef. The delicate knife work, clever plating, and the indescribable aroma all demonstrate the chef's superb skills.
Moreover, he was certain that this was a chef from the human world, because it was impossible for a chef from the divine world to make such a dish.

After all, the condiments in the two worlds are different, and the unique smoke and smoke of the human world cannot be replicated in the divine world.
"Eat, there are many of these you like to eat." The big steward said again, with a hint of gentleness and expectation in his voice.
"If you don't satisfy my curiosity, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it." Liu Jun frowned and replied, staring closely at the chief steward, hoping to find the answer in his eyes.
"Eat first, and talk while you eat." The chief steward responded with a smile. Then he picked up the chopsticks and gently picked up a piece of fish, signaling Liu Jun to start eating too.
When Liu Jun saw this, he stopped being polite and directly picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Every bite made him feel like he was back in the human world, and the familiar taste made him feel warm. This was the first time he had eaten such familiar food in such a long time in the God Realm. The familiarity made him almost cry.
"The seasonings for these dishes are all specially brought by me from the human world." The big steward said slowly, "I am also a human race, and I miss the taste of my hometown very much in the divine world, so I specially invited the top chefs from the human world, just in time. , I will also make a table for you”
"You, you actually have a two-way passage from the human world to the divine world?" When Liu Jun heard this, he suddenly stopped the chopsticks in his hand, his face was full of shock, and his wide eyes seemed to be about to blow away the eyes. People see through it.
"Of course there is, but it's gone now. It was completely closed due to some special events some time ago." The chief steward replied unhurriedly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Then why did you come to me? You can't just treat me to a big meal in the human world, right?" Liu Jun frowned and asked in confusion, the doubts in his heart getting stronger and stronger. .
"Master, please give me a meal. Do you need a reason?" As soon as the big steward said this, it was like a thunder, and Liu Jun was instantly shocked and overwhelmed.
Liu Jun was stunned. The dish he was holding with the chopsticks in his hand was not caught due to the huge shock, and fell directly to the table with a soft sound.
"Which master does it belong to?" Liu Jun's brain suddenly short-circuited and he asked subconsciously.
The chief steward glared at Liu Jun fiercely, and said with some dissatisfaction: "How many masters do you have? The one who is the most unreliable!"
At this moment, Liu Jun fell silent immediately, recalling several experiences. Qingfengzi was a bad old man. He was not handsome, but he had a lot of romantic debts. Even the chief manager of the Divine Palace was his lover. This It's really unexpected.
Moreover, he felt deeply in his heart that the old man Qingfengzi was becoming more and more mysterious and extraordinary.
He had clearly heard from Chen Shanhe that the chief steward of the Divine King's Palace was able to single-handedly support the entire vast Skyfire Divine Realm after the Skyfire Divine King mysteriously disappeared. This is not something that can be achieved just by relying on extraordinary wisdom, but by relying on its own shocking strength to completely suppress the entire God's Domain.
This is enough to vividly reflect the unfathomable and elusive nature of this old lady. How could such a powerful person like an ordinary, unremarkable old man? Therefore, his master Qingfengzi could never be an ordinary person. He must be a famous and respected figure in the divine world.
He even had some doubts just now, whether the old guy Qingfengzi was the legendary King of Heavenly Fire God, but he immediately rejected this ridiculous idea.
He had seen a portrait of the Skyfire God King in the Jinliufu Money Cabinet before. The Skyfire God King in the portrait was extremely handsome and majestic, and his master Qingfengzi looked so wretched. Hanging the portrait on the door would probably ward off evil spirits.
