Chapter 4

Xuanyou, upon hearing this, hurriedly pulled Lin Xuan’s hand: "Father, you must go to my room first!"

Xuanzhu revealed a look of fear: "Father, my room is filled with many terrifying beasts. The biggest one is a Nine-Scale Spotted Snake, which is really scary!"

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Goodness, this fourth daughter, the little demon, really has a strong taste!

Xuanxi giggled and hugged Lin Xuan’s arm: "Father, come to my room, I have many beautiful flowers there!"

Xuanhan quickly said: "Father, my room also has flowers, and many beautiful crystal fish."

Lin Xuan nodded silently, thinking that the second and third daughters had more normal interests.

"No, no, no, Father must go to my room first!" Xuanyou clung to Lin Xuan’s thigh like a tree climber.

She looked determined not to come down until he agreed.

Lin Xuan saw the expressions of all four daughters and couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

It was clear that the four little girls were vying for his attention.

In their little hearts, the one whose room Father visited first was the one he loved the most.

Now the problem was, which daughter’s room should Lin Xuan visit first without hurting the feelings of the other three?

After some thought, Lin Xuan said: "Darlings, Father doesn’t have a room yet. Why don’t we all go see my room together?"

Lin Xuan felt that the best way to handle the children’s competition was to divert their attention.

Once they were no longer focused, he could visit each of their rooms one by one.

"Okay!"

The four daughters clapped their hands excitedly at the same time.

Lin Xuan smiled inwardly. With the perfect guide for being a good father, dealing with these children was a breeze.

The servants, who had witnessed this, all looked admiringly.

No wonder he was the Imperial Husband; this move was really smooth.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the servants, Lin Xuan led the children to his room.

What was called a room was actually on the scale of a luxurious palace.

Not only was it exquisitely decorated, but it was also fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.

Sandalwood tables and chairs, gilded doors and windows, crystal floors, and floral ceilings.

Everywhere he looked, it exuded nobility and luxury.

"Imperial Husband, this room was specially chosen for you by His Majesty," the servant said respectfully.

Lin Xuan nodded, realizing that Donghuang Ziyao wasn’t as cold as he appeared.

Taking advantage of the children playing in his room, he quickly checked each of their rooms under the servant’s guidance.

Through this, Lin Xuan gained a better understanding of his four daughters’ personalities and interests.

Dinner time arrived.

Lin Xuan took the four daughters to the Crystal Palace’s dedicated dining room.

The palace’s chef had already prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes.

With the servant’s introduction, Lin Xuan learned that these were all extremely precious delicacies.

Exploding Ink, Golden Thousand-Layer Mystic Turtle Meat, Milk-Flavored Dragon Belly, Honeyed Thunder Beast Eggs...

All the ingredients were selected from various extremely rare beasts, even primordial-level divine beasts.

Seeing these dishes that were perfect in color, aroma, and taste, Lin Xuan felt a strong hunger.

With the servants’ assistance, he began to enjoy the feast.

As he ate, he noticed that the atmosphere at the table was somewhat unusual.

The eldest daughter, Xuanzhu, scooped a spoonful of Honeyed Thunder Beast Eggs, licking it several times but not eating it.

The second daughter, Xuanxi, had a piece of Mystic Turtle Meat in her mouth, seemingly unable to chew it.

The third daughter, Xuanhan, held a spoon and kept stirring in her bowl, looking deep in thought.

The fourth daughter, Xuanyou, had somehow called a dog-like beast and was stuffing it with food.

Soon, the beast’s belly became as inflated as a balloon.

"Why aren’t you eating?" Lin Xuan asked, putting down his chopsticks.

Four pairs of pitiful eyes looked at Lin Xuan, and after a moment, the four daughters said in unison:

"We’re tired of eating!"

Xuanzhu said, "Father, will you scold us?"

Xuanxi said, "Every time we don’t eat well, Mother scolds us."

Xuanyou added with a hint of pride, "Luckily, I have a Heavenly Dog Beast that can help me eat a lot of things!"

Lin Xuan immediately understood.

It turned out that the daughters were tired of these foods.

Through the system’s guide, he knew that children in their early years were very picky about food.

It not only had to be delicious and nutritious but also varied in taste.

For example, the dishes on the table were even more delicious than mountain and sea delicacies.

But because they were too delicious, the children easily got tired of them.

Understanding the problem, Lin Xuan looked at the four daughters affectionately: "Father won’t scold you. If you don’t want to eat, just put it down."

"Wait, Father will let you eat something even better."

"Something even better?"

The four daughters’ eyes lit up.

"Father, is there really something better than this?" Xuanzhu pointed at the dishes on the table, "Mother said these are the best."

Xuanxi: "I’m so looking forward to it!"

Xuanhan: "If Father says there is, there is!"

Xuanyou: "Father, bring it out quickly, I’m hungry!"

Lin Xuan stood up and rubbed Xuanzhu’s little head: "There is. Wait here, Father will be back soon."

He then asked the servant to take him to the kitchen.

He planned to exchange some cooking tips with the head chef and see if they could prepare dishes that would suit the children’s tastes.

In the kitchen, the servant said: "Mr. Baili, the Imperial Husband wants to see you."

Over a hundred chefs turned their heads simultaneously, looking at Lin Xuan with reverence.

Lin Xuan’s handsome appearance and extraordinary aura filled them with awe.

"So this is the Imperial Husband, indeed extraordinary!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white robe hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "This subordinate, Baili Zhou, greets the Imperial Husband!"

The servant introduced: "Mr. Baili is the best chef in Beixuantian. He has practiced cooking as a path for three thousand years and is recognized as the culinary god of Beixuantian."

Baili Zhou quickly shook his head: "Just a title."

In front of the Imperial Husband, how could he dare to claim such a title?

Seeing that Baili Zhou was very approachable, Lin Xuan asked: "Mr. Baili, are you proficient in children’s food?"

Baili Zhou nodded: "This subordinate has studied children’s food for over a hundred years and has some insights."

"Oh? Then tell me about it," Lin Xuan said calmly.

Baili Zhou then shared his insights.

Lin Xuan found that he had indeed put a lot of effort into the nutritional aspects of children’s food.

The three meals a day prepared for Xuanzhu and the others were extremely nutritious without causing overnutrition.

However, in terms of taste and dish pairing, there was a significant gap.

This was understandable, as Beixuantian was a world of cultivation.

Once people reached a certain level, they could completely abstain from food.

Those with culinary skills were few and far between.

Even though Baili Zhou practiced cooking as a path, he couldn’t be perfect in every aspect.

"Can you create various pairings and dishes that the children won’t get tired of?" Lin Xuan asked.

Baili Zhou thought for a moment: "I can try to develop them, but it will take at least three to five months."

"That’s too long," Lin Xuan shook his head slightly. "How about this, I’ll make a few dishes first, and when I have time, I’ll teach you properly."

Thinking of the four daughters’ eager expressions, Lin Xuan decided to take matters into his own hands.
