Before Qingyi could finish speaking, Chi Huo swallowed the poisonous substance.

"Wow, this is delicious! Cai Cai, you should try some."

Without saying a word, he picked up a piece of pickled bamboo shoot and put it in Cai Cai's mouth. Cai Cai didn't know whether to swallow it or not.

It's over. He failed his mistress's trust and was actually poisoned to death by a dish.

Seeing Cai Cai's pained expression, Chi Huo pursed his lips and said, "Don't cry. Chew five times and swallow."

Qingyi had grown up with Chi Huo, so even though her mind hadn't quite grasped it, she obediently did as she was told.

"Is it tasty?"

"kindness……"

Qingyi reflexively didn't want to eat, but the taste slowly spread in her mouth. Each taste bud, which had been stimulated by the bland nutrients, was now exposed to a fresh stimulation, and each one clamored for more stimulation.

That extreme sourness and spiciness, along with the scalding heat and freshness, is the essence of everyday life, something that is innate to humankind, etched into our bones and written in our genes, and cannot be changed.

"Is it tasty?"

Looking at her young master's expectant eyes, Qingyi couldn't bring herself to say, "It doesn't taste good."

"tasty."

"Haha, I think it tastes delicious too, thank you, Miss Lan."

Just as Chi Huo was about to express his gratitude, he saw that Lu Yulan and Chu Rui had already reached the bottom of the stairs on the first floor and were preparing to leave.

Of course, she had to leave. The whole floor smelled of snail rice noodles. The cleaning robot would definitely clean them all up as garbage in a while, because she had experienced the same thing back on Rose Star. It took more than an hour for Xiaozhu to stop complaining.

As for Julie, she originally wanted to teach Lu Yulan a lesson by spending money, to throw all these things at Lu Yulan, and to make her understand that there are some people you can't offend.

But hey, five hundred million, five hundred million, it's already been spent, and it looks pretty good, wouldn't it be a shame not to eat it?

Although the taste was a bit strange, the one next to it wasn't very tasty either.

Ugh, the way they eat together is so uncivilized! She would never do that. She'll just take a bite, and then throw the rest in their face. She swears.

...

Such delicious food, it would be a waste to spill it. Oh well, let her have it. I'll definitely teach her a lesson during the martial arts competition.

As Julie thought this, little did she know that the martial arts test was designed by Dean Gu himself—it was truly bizarre.

Her life took a downhill turn when she boarded this bizarre spaceship; looking back, she almost wanted to gouge her eyes out.

Back in her room, Lu Yulan looked at Chu Rui and couldn't help but laugh, then stomped her foot on the ground.

"Didn't you eat well just now? Go back and eat properly, rest a bit, and recharge your energy. There are still tough battles to fight ahead."

"kindness."

Chu Rui placed Xiao Zhu on the bed and turned to leave.

After Chu Rui closed the door, Lu Yulan covered her slightly flushed cheeks. She realized that she didn't blush; even when she was nervous, her face felt so hot it was like it was about to steam, and her complexion looked terrible.

I rushed into the bathroom, splashed some water on myself, and tried to calm myself down.

"Xiaomi, wasn't I super cool and awesome just now?"

Okay, but please make sure you're feeling refreshed and ready before we chat, alright?

"I forgot, haha."

She was so excited. She's usually mild-mannered, and she's still a little unaccustomed to constantly arguing with others. But it feels really good to argue with people. No wonder some people love to be argumentative.

As night fell, the spaceship, which had been traveling smoothly towards the capital planet, went in the opposite direction and headed to another place.
