Chapter 558: Chapter 557: The Two of Them Together, More Like Children

Feng Yexuan stared at Xiaoyao, his eyes deep and somber.

No one knew what he was thinking.

But from that moment on, the temperature of the air around them seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

The night was already cool, but now, for some reason, it felt icy cold to the bone.

Even Xiaoyao couldn’t help but shiver, and subconsciously took a step back.

Who knew what was wrong with the Prince now, why did his gaze suddenly become so fierce?

"Prince!" Leng Ji quickly stepped forward.

Having followed the Prince for so many years, he immediately felt that the Prince was angry.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the Lijia Worm?

"The worm..."

Leng Ji almost couldn’t resist drawing his sword, but then he saw Feng Yexuan suddenly raise his hand, signaling for him to stand down.

Leng Ji hesitated before returning to his original position.

The Prince was angry, but not because of the worm he ate? Then, what exactly was it?

Everyone else was also rendered anxious and uneasy.

However, Feng Jinrui was still eager to try: "Fourth Royal Brother..."

"You try it," Feng Yexuan finally relented.

Feng Jinrui immediately became excited, picked up a Lijia Worm, and looked at Xiaoyao: "Quick, teach me!"

Xiaoyao was also excited, it was obvious that he was thrilled.

He instantly left Feng Yexuan and the others aside, and lively joined Feng Jinrui.

Eating crawfish was tasteless when done alone.

Together, they peeled off the heads, slightly opened the shell a bit, and then took a bite.

The crawfish, having been raised for so long, were now quite plump and large.

With one bite, the meat was tender and even the juices splashed into their mouths!

Feng Jinrui’s eyes brightened and he immediately started peeling the second one.

Without needing to say anything, just from his eyes, his complexion, his actions... it was clear he felt like he could soar from the deliciousness!

Leng Ji and the Magistrate were doubtful, but they went over and also picked up a Lijia Worm.

If the Prince and the Fourteenth Prince had eaten it, they dared not refuse; it would be an act of disrespect.

They had no choice but to suppress the turmoil in their stomachs and started peeling as well.

Afterward, they took a bite...

...

The next day, a big incident occurred in Qingxi Town.

The Magistrate ordered the guards to lead the common people to catch bugs.

No, to catch shrimp.

"Edible crawfish?" All the people in Qingxi Town were stunned.

Ye Qingying sat in a corner of the teahouse, holding a cup, expressionless as she listened to several well-off owners talking.

"Yes, it’s said that even Prince Yexuan and the Fourteenth Prince personally tasted it, saying these Lijia Worms... no, they call them crawfish, asserting that these creatures are indeed edible."

"No way, Prince Yexuan is so dignified, would he actually eat bugs?"

"I’ve told you, they’re shrimp, not bugs!"

"Impossible..."

"The servants from my house have all been dispatched to catch bugs; true or false, we’ll see today."

"Perhaps the Imperial Court has truly run out of solutions and came up with this method to appease the people of Qingxi Town."

"Alas, it seems Qingxi Town is no longer a place to stay; shouldn’t we consider shutting down our businesses and starting afresh in another town?"

"Yes, my fabric shop hardly has any customers. People are too poor; when they can barely afford food, who cares about clothes?"

"Alas..."

The group of owners sighed in resignation, having completely lost hope in the so-called crawfish.

The Imperial Court couldn’t solve the pestilence, and now they were making the people eat insects, was this some kind of joke?

The Imperial Court was indeed too cruel!

Ye Qingying tossed down some silver coins, put on her hat, and turned to leave.

Qingxi Town was very lively today, most of the crowd was concentrated in the west side of town.

Here, a row of stalls had been temporarily set up, each with a large pot.

Currently, the fires under the pots were burning fiercely.

A portion of the so-called crawfish was already in the pots.

And that petite figure standing in the crowd...

Ye Qingying’s eyes darkened, her heart suddenly tightened.

After disappearing for an entire night, there she was, standing beside that man!
