“Alright, this matter is settled. Let’s eat first.” Said Meng Ran with the attitude of a hostess.

Hearing this, Yan Jiao heard the dissatisfaction of the people at the table. However, since the King’s sister did not say anything, they naturally did not dare to speak out, for fear that they would be the next target.

“Oh right, Shi Ya, where’s Yu Si? Wasn’t she tasked to take care of little sister Yan Jiao? How come you’re the only one left? Where’s she?” Meng Ran asked Shi Ya, who was behind her, when she saw everyone going to enjoy the dishes.

“Master, you don’t know… ” As Shi Ya had lowered her voice, Yan Jiao could not hear the rest of her words clearly.

She could only guess what they were talking about by looking at Shi Ya’s expression. She looked aggrieved and even shed a few tears as she spoke.

Meng Ran’s expression grew colder and colder as she glared at Yan Jiao with a venomous look. Even a fool could guess that Shi Ya did not say anything good, and most likely, she had even added fuel to the fire.

Yan Jiao knew that Meng Ran harbored ill intentions toward her and might even have the intention to kill her, but she had no choice.

She could not defeat this group of demons, and she could not find a way to leave. The only way out now was the man who brought her back.

She hoped that the man would come back soon. Otherwise, she was not sure if she could survive in this group of beautiful snake women!

Ah! How could she be so unlucky!

Although she was sighing for herself in her heart, when she saw that everyone else had started eating, her eyes, which had a hungry look for a long time, lit up. She looked down at the table and stopped letting her thoughts run wild. She also ignored the malice in Meng Ran’s eyes.

In front of so many people, she probably did not have the guts to do anything to her.

There were utensils made of precious materials on the table, and the delicacies in each utensil looked delicious. Many of them were delicacies that Yan Jiao had never seen before.

These dishes were exquisitely made. Some of them were simply works of art, making people reluctant to even touch them with chopsticks.

Was it really alright for them to enjoy the food?

Yan Jiao looked at the dishes in front of her in a daze. She realized that she had no idea where to start. It could even be said that she could not bear to see these dishes being consumed.

Xiao Men, who was standing behind her, found it strange that yan jiao was staring at the food in a daze and not eating.

Thinking about whether the food was not to her liking, Xia Fen deliberately lowered her voice and asked Yan Jiao softly, “Miss, is the food not to your liking?”

Xiao Fen’s voice was not loud, but there were a group of monsters at the table. Even if she deliberately lowered her voice, their conversation could still be heard.

The vixen sneered, “Little sister, why aren’t you eating? Is it not to your liking? Oh, that’s right, you’re just a human, and you’ve never seen some of these dishes before. Don’t tell me you don’t know how to eat them?”

Before the vixen could finish her sentence, Yan Jiao heard the laughter of others.

“The King specially arranged for the chef to make this to suit the taste of humans. It shouldn’t be bad, right? Little sister shouldn’t reject the King’s goodwill, right, little sister?”

When they heard that the dishes on the table were specially arrange for by the King, some of them looked at Yan Jiao with jealousy and hatred, as if they wanted to skin her alive with their eyes.

Yan Jiao came back to her senses after hearing her words. Afraid that she would anger the crowd, she quickly shook her head and said embarrassedly, “What are you saying, sister? How could I refuse the king’s goodwill? I’m just…”

“But what, sister?”

“It’s just that these dishes are so beautiful, like works of art. I’m a little reluctant to eat them.”

“Little sister really knows how to joke. Aren’t the dishes made for eating? How could they be art pieces? You don’t actually want to eat them, do you?”

Yan Jiao could hear the hidden sarcasm in the vixen’s words. She was mocking her for her lack of knowledge.

“Big sister is right, food is made to be eaten. By the way, sister, what are these dishes made of? I’m sure you’re very knowledgeable and know about this, right?”

Yan Jiao did not ask this question on purpose. She really wanted to know what the ingredients were. It felt like they were all ingredients that she had never seen before.

When the vixen saw that Yan Jiao had pushed what should have been done by a maidservant to her, she was displeased. However, for the sake of her face, she still unwillingly said, “Sister, you have to listen carefully. This plate is a deer tail, this plate is a rabbit leg, and this plate… ”
