Chapter 1048: Performing "Hehe!"
Ye Li chuckled dryly twice.
I don't know who's really unaware of its value.
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a group of burly void creatures surged in.
These people are carrying huge plates on their heads.
The plate contained whole, skinned insects.
These insects looked as if they had been thoroughly pickled in a purple solution.
Even after peeling, steaming, or stir-frying, the meat is still purple.
In fact, the color is even darker now.
"These are all specialties of the Void: steamed larvae, grilled mantises, and boiled burrowing beasts..."
The minibus then introduced one item to Ye Li.
There are 108 items in total.
No two varieties are the same.
Ye Li couldn't help but sigh, "Good heavens, you eat other people's people, won't those Void Insect Clan powerhouses come after you to fight to the death?"
Xiao Ba smiled nonchalantly and said, "You're new to our Void Lands, so you might not know, but the Void Insects' reproductive ability is just too strong. We have to use a process of natural selection. The insects that are eliminated each time become our food. Not only us, but they eat them too..."
"Let me tell you something funny. Those insects don't really have any feelings of kinship. They'll eat anything that's been eliminated, even if it's related to them by blood. Sometimes they might eat their son in the morning, their grandson at noon, and their daughter-in-law in the evening, hahaha~~~"
"Isn't that funny?"
"(⊙o⊙)..., that's pretty funny!"
Ye Li was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled twice.
The burly men placed the insect meat below the main hall.
Someone was carefully cutting the insect meat into small plates and then placing them on Ye Li and Xiao Ba's table.
The insect meat was cut very delicately, each piece was of uniform size, and arranged neatly.
Looking at the worm meat that was still emitting purple vapor.
Ye Li still took a small bite out of courtesy.
The instant he bit down.
An indescribable taste surged onto his taste buds.
"Um......"
Ye Li couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his expression contorted in rage.
He couldn't see any difference between this and eating swill.
And the taste lingered in his mouth for a long time.
Ye Li looked at the other plates.
Apart from insect meat.
Several plates of purple vegetables that had been laid out earlier were also placed on the table.
Ye Li picked up one with his hand.
Information about this vegetable came to mind.
【Seed Vegetables】
[Quality: Perfect]
[Description: One of the rare vegetable varieties that can survive in the void; you'll have to taste it yourself to see how it tastes.]
Ye Li put the seed vegetable in her mouth and chewed it twice.
There wasn't a drop of juice inside.
It tastes like eating withered grass or gnawing on tree bark—extremely dry.
Surprisingly, although the texture was not good, the taste of the seed vegetable was actually quite good, with a light fragrance and a hint of sweetness.
Ye Li ate the food as is.
I absolutely refuse to eat the rest.
These things aren't even as tasty as pickled cabbage on Earth.
"Master, let me offer you another toast. If it weren't for your presence, we in the Void would not know how long we would have been oppressed by the Void Queen."
As he spoke, Xiao Ba picked up his full glass of wine again.
Ye Li really didn't know how this guy's tongue, nose, and stomach were formed.
Isn't there even one organ that resists?
"I can't drink alcohol, you drink it yourself!"
Ye Li casually made up an excuse to get rid of him.
He really couldn't drink any of that wine.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba showed a hint of regret and said, "Really? That's such a pity. Such fine wine should be enjoyed by a strong person like you. It's a waste for me to drink it myself."
After saying that, he shook his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp with a regretful expression.
After finishing his drinks, Xiao Ba seemed to still be enjoying himself. He waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, show the master some talent! How can such a grand feast be without a wonderful performance?"
Before he could finish speaking...
Heavy footsteps echoed outside the main hall once again.
One hundred robust Void Warriors, each holding a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right, formed a tight square formation and slowly entered the hall.
The soldiers' steps were heavy.
Each step taken, each landing.
Ye Li could even feel the chair beneath him trembling.
"Thump~"
"Thump~"
The surrounding music has changed.
The drums beat loudly.
They moved in sync with the footsteps of the Void Warriors who were entering.
Heavy, magnificent.
Each strike felt like a blow to the heart.
"oh?"
Ye Li narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the minibus next to him out of the corner of his eye.
Xiao Ba was still clutching the wine glass that had just been filled with wine.
After downing the wine in one gulp, he held it up like that, never putting it down.
His gaze remained fixed on the newly arrived Void Warriors, lost in thought.
I don't know what he's thinking.
"Are you trying to use the water cup as a signal to reenact Xiang Yu killing Liu Bang?"
Ye Li waited with great interest.
Their attention was focused on the military drills below.
These soldiers were clearly handpicked.
Their every movement appeared so synchronized.
A hint of murderous intent could be seen flowing in his eyes.
I don't know if it's because of preconceived notions.
Ye Li always felt that the murderous glint in the eyes of these Void Warriors would occasionally be glanced at him.
Whether it's a turn or a simple movement, the Void Warriors' final gazes will be fixed on him like they've locked onto their prey.
Just as Ye Li was observing these void warriors, the voluptuous woman who had been standing behind him suddenly spoke softly, "My lord, please take off your armor and let me loosen your shoulders."
Her voice was as soft as a feather, creating a subtle contrast with her voluptuous figure.
Her voice also caught Xiao Ba's attention.
Xiao Ba glanced at Ye Li and smiled, "Master, now that you're here, just treat it like your own home. Be relaxed. Armor is something you wear on the battlefield; it's too heavy with killing intent."
