In Ji Xiao's mind, everyone and everything in this world is filled with absolute malice and disgust towards Ji Yan.

After he finished speaking, he waited for Shen Jiao's response.

But they found that she seemed to have been severely exploited and bullied by the ruthless tyrant, and she looked timid and didn't dare to speak much.

Shen Jiao: "..."

Would you like to learn about "spiritual travel"?

Ji Xiao gave a kind smile and encouraged him, "Don't be afraid. I'm not like that tyrant. I'm a good person. Just tell me what's on your mind. I'm willing to be your safe haven!"

Although this dancer had slept with Ji Yan, she was indeed a top-tier beauty in terms of appearance and figure. He could easily have taken her in, even if he turned a blind eye.

Shen Jiao was unaware of the client's sordid intentions, but his gaze was so insincere that it made her uncomfortable.

Since the client wanted her to be straightforward, Shen Jiao didn't mince words. She cleared her throat and said, "Then I'll say it."

"Tell me quickly!" Ji Xiao was very excited.

It wasn't for nothing that he wasted so much manpower and resources to abduct this person; he's finally going to get some useful information!

Shen Jiao said calmly, "Let's start with a sweet and sour braised pork knuckle."

Ji Xiao was taken aback: "Huh?"

What? Didn't you tell me to say whatever comes to mind? This is what I want to say right now.

For the past two weeks, Shen Jiao hasn't eaten a single bite of oil or food, and her stomach has long since become completely bland.

It's no exaggeration to say that my stomach felt incredibly vibrant, like a lush green meadow was growing inside.

If the horse hadn't been running so fast and had so much fur, she would have chased after it and started biting its legs!

Shen Jiao simply wanted to eat meat, but Ji Xiao felt that things were not that simple.

He considered himself a wise ruler who would carefully consider everything.

This braised pork knuckle is definitely more than just a simple dish!

It is definitely the key to dealing with tyrants!

This dancer was extremely cautious, worried that someone might be overheard. She actually thought of using a dish to convey information to him. I must say, she was a clever woman!

Ji Xiao was tortured and suppressed by Ji Yan in the past. Even after years of hiding, he would still be disturbed by Ji Yan's subordinates from time to time. Whenever he had a little gold or silver, he would use it to support the army and forge weapons. He lived a very frugal life in terms of food and drink.

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Ji Xiao clapped his hands, made up his mind, and had the kitchen prepare a special sweet and sour braised pork knuckle for Shen Jiao.

Regardless of how much money the client spent on this braised pork knuckle, Shen Jiao thanked them and began to devour it.

Ji Xiao carefully observed Shen Jiao.

Braised pork knuckle, steamed pork knuckle, crispy pork knuckle... With so many types of pork knuckle, why did the dancer insist on choosing sweet and sour braised pork knuckle?

It must be because this dish is special!

The tiger-skin texture is so crispy and tender, the meat falls off the bone in one bite... Could it be that...?

A glint flashed in Ji Xiao's eyes. Was the dancer hinting at something to him?

Ji Yan may look as imposing as a tiger, but in reality, he's just a soft meat in tiger's skin, easily defeated and wiped out in one bite!

I see, I see!

Ji Xiao suddenly felt enlightened. Ji Yan had been used as a test subject for medicine since childhood, so it was normal for him to have physical problems. After so many years, his physical functions must have become outdated.

"Young lady, you are wise beyond your years. Such wisdom is hidden in such a simple dish. I am truly impressed."

Shen Jiao: "???"

What the hell? What is this idiot client saying? I can't understand a single word.

how?

You got so angry over eating one of his pork knuckles? That can't be right.

Shen Jiao slowed down her eating pace.

If the client gets so angry that she loses her mind, and she's currently penniless and dirt poor, she absolutely cannot afford to pay for medical expenses.

Ji Xiao felt he had obtained useful information and temporarily believed that Shen Jiao was beginning to turn against him. He wanted to get more information.

He suppressed his excitement, "Miss, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Shen Jiao: "???" You dare ask? Could it be...?

She thought about it for a moment and it dawned on her: it seems this client really enjoys finding pleasure in self-torture?

Since that's the case, she won't hold back!

Shen Jiao began rattling off the names of the dishes, while the cook beside her wiped his sweat and wrote down the names.

This is insane! They ate three months' worth of meat in one meal! How are they going to survive?

The most outrageous thing is that the master's mouth was stretched to the back of his head, and he seemed quite happy?

This is not taking hostages.

This is clearly like catching a little devil and bringing him back to be pampered.

There were so many dishes that even an ostrich couldn't finish them all.

That's right, she did it on purpose. Who told this guy to be so crazy as to kidnap her as a hostage? These days, who'll do things without paying them?

Her status is quite unusual now, and her consulting fees are very expensive, okay?

She had been working tirelessly for half a month and even underwent surgery, losing a lot of blood. How could she possibly recover quickly if she didn't take good care of herself?

A smart hostage knows how to make good use of the enemy's resources to reward himself!

The dishes were served quickly. Shen Jiao ate a bite or two of the dishes she didn't like, and didn't even touch some of them.

Her palate had been spoiled by the tyrant; the food she ate was indeed not as good as before.

The cook thought Shen Jiao was being extravagant and wasteful.

The beauties in the backyard were so angry when they heard that they could eat meat freely that their internal organs ached. They served their master every day but could not eat meat three times a day!

What a waste! What a waste!

Ji Xiao, however, did not feel it was a waste; the dancer must have her reasons for not using her chopsticks.

Once he thinks about it carefully, he'll definitely realize there's something important he's overlooked!

Shen Jiao suddenly sighed as she ate.

It's not that she's never eaten alone, but ever since she's been with Ji Yan, he's always eaten three meals a day with her, no matter what his appetite is. She wonders if he's worried about her now.

Although we have been trying our best to make markings, we have not heard any news for more than ten days.
