A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

**********************

......

We reached the end of the middle-level stalls, and quite surprisingly, the innermost middle-level stall wasn't some trendy food stall, but rather a stall selling salted edamame.

The edamame were packed in a big pot; they were brownish-green, and to be honest, they didn't look very appealing, nor did they smell particularly sweet.

The Crown Prince looked at the stall, which didn't look appetizing at all, and hesitated.

"Those are edamame, the tender pods of a type of legume. They're boiled in salt water, so you can eat them plain," Gao Tian explained after taking a look.

Edamame is quite expensive.

Raw, unprocessed ingredients cannot be synthesized; they are all natural ingredients.

Natural ingredients are so rare these days. Nowadays, food can be synthesized. The Earth's population is too large, and the ecosystem needs protection. Private farming is no longer allowed.

Soybean roots can fix nitrogen, and planting soybeans can improve the soil. Soybean cultivation is quite common, which is why edamame is sold at night markets.

At the salted edamame stall, regular customers skillfully swipe their cards to collect their own edamame, the steam carrying the taste memories of generations.

The original flavor of the boiled food in salt water isn't exactly delicious, but it has a very retro feel, like my hometown from many years ago.

The flavors are as plain as the daily life of the locals, transforming into a simple taste on the tip of the tongue and a smile in the eyes, flowing slowly in the night.

"Try it." Gao Tian bought a serving and peeled one for him to eat.

The Crown Prince ate it, chewed it—"yue."

It's a flavor that the Zerg can't appreciate.

It was bland and tasteless, and quite strange. It didn't suit the Zerg's taste at all.

Gao Tian was so amused by his reaction that he trembled with laughter, so he had no choice but to keep the food for himself.

The Crown Prince watched him peel and eat edamame with disdain, deciding that if the Crown Princess ate this, he wouldn't kiss her that night.

......

Beyond the middle-level stall area, further in, you'll find some barbecue noodle shops.

The shop is set up with tables, chairs, grills, and parasols. It's open during the day and even more lively at night.

Barbecue is the soul of summer night snacks.

Humans are inherently unrestrained and love staying up late.

I got hungry while staying up all night.

As dusk settles, countless night owls emerge in search of food.

This is the busiest part of the night market.

More than a thousand years seem to have passed without any change. Every table is full of diners, some drinking happily with friends, others enjoying a romantic reunion with their lovers, with laughter and chatter filling the air.

The barbecue chef was busy in front of the grill, the flames sizzling as he sprinkled on cumin and chili seasoning.

"Hiss—"

The aroma of meat, cumin, and chili blended together, bursting forth and filling the air with an irresistible fragrance that nearly drew out the crown prince's vertical pupils.

I rely on.

It turns out the Crown Princess was right; the best part really is inside.

Lan quickly found an empty table, sat down, and looked expectantly at the high sky.

If you didn't make it in time, you can still eat the bugs!

"Is it still edible?"

Gao Tian chuckled and gently stroked his chin to check if he had developed a double chin.

No, no!

The Crown Prince tapped his hand with his beautifully sculpted chin.

Gao Tian placed the things he had bought earlier next to him, told him to sit down, and then took the fish to find the shopkeeper.

These kinds of shops usually offer processing services for ingredients brought in by customers.

Some restaurants offer grilling services for natural ingredients like fish and meat, so you can cook it yourself if you want.

Grilled bamboo shoots with a savory sauce and charcoal flavor—it's so delicious, it'll leave you me

Gao Tian borrowed the kitchen of a barbecue restaurant and grilled the food himself.

He hadn't cooked for the Crown Prince in a long time; he'd been too busy lately and had really neglected his baby.

His baby is so good; he never complains and even hugs and comforts him.

But he can't be oblivious to the situation and take it for granted.

His baby is so wonderful. Even a child who doesn't cry needs candy. The better Lan is, the more he mistreats him.

Fortunately, he wasn't entirely useless; he could make up for it in other ways.

Let's start by cooking a meal for the Crown Prince.

......

The grilled fish was almost done, flipped over twice, and handed over to the owner to plate. Gao Tian washed his hands and came out from behind the shop.

As soon as they went outside, they laughed again, seeing the Crown Prince once again freeloading off his handsome, youthful face.

He was both beautiful and handsome, with a touch of arrogance in his beauty and a hint of boyish charm in his good looks. Sitting there, he was like a radiant being, and passersby even mistook him for a celebrity.

He was so beloved by the sisters and men on Earth that he was constantly being fed.

Gao Tiancai had just come out when the Crown Prince's hands were already full of kebabs.

Female insects cannot easily accept food from male insects, but this rule does not apply to other female insects.

Moreover, these people are all females from the Crown Princess's race... Wow, they are completely different from the female insects of Lyrnia, just like Takaten's mother.

They are such good people, he should like females on Earth!

Gao Tian smiled and touched his chin.

The statement that the Crown Prince could live comfortably on Earth based solely on his face is becoming increasingly true.

So cute.

I like him so much.

He's so kind.

Gao Tian lowered his head and kissed his lips.

The Crown Prince generously shared half of the kebabs he was holding with him: "Here you go. These are the offerings I just received."

If Earth's females offer him tributes, he will surely protect them.

Humanity's future is entrusted to him. During this initial period of humanity's entry into the universe, he will certainly protect humanity. The Cosmic Emperor will never break his promise.

"Thank you, our baby." He's so adorable, Gao Tian kissed him again.

......

Before long, the waiter came back with a full plate of grilled fish, weaving between the tables and chairs, calling out, "Your grilled fish is here!"

"Wow!" The Crown Prince looked on expectantly.

The steaming hot grilled fish was served.

The fish skin is slightly charred and golden brown, and there are several cuts on the fish body, revealing tender fish meat with clearly visible texture, indicating freshness and succulence.

The bamboo shoot fish lives up to its name; its flesh is snow-white and thick, just like a freshly peeled winter bamboo shoot.

The thick sauce coats the fish, giving it a bright red color. It is garnished with emerald green scallions, bright red chili peppers, and dark brown Sichuan peppercorns, creating a vibrant and eye-catching color combination with an enticing aroma.

The rich aromas of various seasonings intertwine, with the spiciness of chili peppers, the numbing fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns, the pungent aroma of ginger and garlic, and the mellow fragrance of barbecue, creating a complex and intense flavor that stimulates the taste buds.

"Waaaaah." The Crown Prince ate a piece of food, unable to speak.

The grilled bamboo shoot fish has crispy skin and tender, juicy flesh. The fish is sweet and melts in your mouth, while the skin is crispy and spicy.

Sigh, sigh, sigh, let's not say anything more, he'll protect the Earth from now on.

No one can make the snakehead fish go extinct.

He was willing to trade a hundred years of the Insect King's lifespan for the Bamboo Shoot Fish to flourish in the interstellar space.

Gao Tian touched his face affectionately.

Oh my god, he's so cute!

I'm so lucky, so lucky, so lucky to have met him.

......

There were many humans around.

The sounds of playful banter, clinking glasses, laughter, and greetings filled the air.

Someone was talking, which made the people around them burst into laughter; someone, emboldened by the alcohol, started to sing a few lines, although they were off-key, it added a touch of silly joy to the lively atmosphere.

The night melted away amidst the swirling smoke and bustling noise.

The Crown Prince was chewing on his chopsticks.

Under the ordinary, unfashionable signs, crowds flowed like water through the streets and alleys.

He didn't know why humans were worth the Crown Princess going through fire and water for.

If you conceal your human identity and live among the Zerg as a male Zerg, wouldn't that be great?

It should be much easier than it is now.
