On the signs above the street, there are generally both Chinese characters and English, shining in a truly different way.

Ling Zhenfei felt a sense of pity in his heart; he finally understood why Yuluo wanted to come here despite knowing there was turmoil. This place is indeed very beautiful.

The journey led to Snow Mountain Castle, a white castle that resembles the castles from ancient fairy tales, entirely white from top to bottom. This is probably why it's called Snow Mountain Castle.

Snow Mountain Castle is quite large, situated on a relatively high point on the island, and from within the castle, one can see the whole island's scenery. It's truly breathtaking.

Even though he's been to many places, this fairy tale-like location still captivates Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei thought, what more does this place need to develop? As long as there's no war and transportation is well-established, tourism alone could make this place thrive.

Due to restrictive inspections, entering and exiting was difficult, but He Kun was very familiar with the place and continuously introduced the landscape and cultural geography to Ling Zhenfei, broadening his horizons.

However, as Ling Zhenfei walked to the castle, he realized that despite its beauty, danger lurked everywhere. Soldiers on the road all had serious expressions, holding guns, evidently preparing for the next war.

It's likely that both the soldiers of Gu Feng and Mao Sharlu are aware of the upcoming conflict, and they're ready at any time.

Ling Zhenfei arrived at the castle's entrance, and someone immediately came to greet him.

Apparently, Gu Feng had arranged everything, though the person didn't know where Gu Feng was at the moment.

It turns out Gu Feng wasn't there, which made sense. If Gu Feng were there, it would be too risky a target.

Ling Zhenfei took a look in the kitchen and surveyed the dining area's environment. It was magnificent, almost too luxurious.

Even though Song Mingyi had fled, nothing inside was missing, suggesting he might still be planning to return.

The chefs had also escaped, and there was hardly anyone left inside now, only people newly arranged by Gu Feng.

There were also numerous soldiers inside to prevent anyone from running in as many would surely want to enter and take things out.

Who knows how many years the castle has stood, with many antiques inside which are all valuable, losing even one would be a loss.

Ling Zhenfei was very pleased with the kitchen's facilities and checked the ingredients. A variety of ingredients seemed to be fairly complete.

At this moment, Zhang Bin rushed in and approached Ling Zhenfei: "Brother Ling, I finally found you. The boss sent me to do errands for you. Do you need anything?"

Ling Zhenfei replied: "Gu Feng is really thoughtful, sending someone as busy as you to run errands for me. Weren't you chasing Song Mingyi? How did you get back so quickly?"

Zhang Bin laughed and said: "That boy Song Mingyi runs faster than a rabbit; my warship couldn't catch up, and he has reinforcements on the high seas. I knew I couldn't catch up, so I fired a few cannon shots and came back."

"Reinforcements? From those foreign forces?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Zhang Bin said: "That I don't know, but we won, Moergawa is ours now."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Tonight's dinner is very important, go buy some fresh fish. The fish here is at least two days old, not fresh."

Zhang Bin responded: "Okay, I'm on it."

"Wait a second!" Ling Zhenfei called Zhang Bin back.

"Any other instructions?" Zhang Bin asked.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Do you remember the three fish I had when I pledged brotherhood with Gu Feng last time? I remember you prepared them."

Zhang Bin smiled and said: "Of course, do you need those three fish for something?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "Don't worry about it; just prepare those three fish for me, I have a use for them."

"Alright, got it."

Zhang Bin turned and left. When it comes to work, Zhang Bin is really skilled, just likes to mess around, not follow the rules, which isn't a good trait.

Ling Zhenfei thought about the evening's dinner; he hoped everything would go smoothly without any disturbances. If things got chaotic here, it would be troublesome.

Tonight's dinner was requested by Ling Zhenfei; if anything went wrong, the responsibility would fall on him, so he must take it seriously.

Ling Zhenfei said to He Kun: "Tonight's dinner is very important. I'll be busy cooking, at times I won't have free hands. You'll need to watch outside, and make sure no one does anything out of line."

He Kun replied: "Alright, don't worry, leave the inside to you, and the outside to me."

After Ling Zhenfei arranged everything, he started preparing the ingredients. Shortly after, Zhang Bin returned with three colored fish.

"Brother Ling, I brought the fish for you. What we lack here isn't those three kinds of fish."

"Alright, leave them to me."

Ling Zhenfei had plans for these three types of fish; the evening banquet might end up tense, and who knows how Gu Feng will treat Mao Sharlu.

Ling Zhenfei planned to place these three fish on the table; perhaps Gu Feng would consider his relationship and not act too harshly.

If Gu Feng truly disregarded their relationship, then Ling Zhenfei also wouldn't be too courteous.

Ling Zhenfei thought clearly; their interactions were negotiations and talks, not letting Mao Sharlu's side lose face. If Gu Feng takes action, then regardless of brotherly bonds, he'd still take Mao Xuejing and the others away.

Though currently, Gu Feng's power is formidable and has already occupied the whole island, Ling Zhenfei figured taking them away shouldn't be a problem.

Ling Zhenfei's speed in cooking was swift, using the fastest method, creating a good dish.

Suddenly someone appeared at the kitchen door; Ling Zhenfei glanced over, and it was Mao Xuejing.

Mao Xuejing looked surprised at Ling Zhenfei bustling in the kitchen, with an expression of disbelief.

"You've come; wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Mao Xuejing walked over to Ling Zhenfei, looked at the dishes he had already prepared, and said in disbelief: "Did you make all of this?"

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said: "Who else? There's no Conch Girl here."

Mao Xuejing approached Ling Zhenfei and asked: "What's this?"

Ling Zhenfei replied: "This is a sauce I'm brewing; it'll be poured over the three fish later."

Mao Xuejing looked at the sauce already prepared beside the fish, feeling surprised, said: "These three fish look so familiar."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Not the fish, it's the color of the fish that's familiar."

Mao Xuejing nodded and then said softly: "Have you thought everything through tonight? I somehow feel it's not going to be something good."

Ling Zhenfei knew that Mao Xuejing's emotions couldn't be spoken now, as it naturally didn't feel good.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Don't worry, I'm here; what can't be said about this?"
