An Ge walked to one end of the long dining table, took out food from her spatial storage as usual, and began to eat.
As everyone watched An Ge conjure food out of thin air, they became even more convinced that she was a powerful figure, since only a powerful figure could possess spatial artifacts.
In an instant, everyone regretted their attitude when An Ge was wrongly accused.
Wang Jun knew more about the game than others. He looked at An Ge with surprise, his eyes filled with a sense of awe that even he himself didn't realize.
Even among big shots, there are differences. He is, after all, in a famous guild, and even their guild leader has never been heard of having a spatial item.
Looking at An Ge's delicious food, everyone couldn't help but swallow, feeling even hungrier.
Ignoring the intense stares, An Ge smiled and asked Ren Yuxi, "Would you like some?"
She had a good impression of this beautiful woman, who had even helped her before.
Ren Yuxi felt flattered and overwhelmed. "Me, can I?"
"Of course, I can't finish all this food anyway, it would be such a waste to throw it away."
Ren Yuxi didn't stand on ceremony with An Ge and sat down neatly next to her. She wasn't a bold person; in the past, she definitely wouldn't have moved around so recklessly.
Perhaps it was because An Ge gave her too much security that she sat down next to An Ge, even as Martin died.
Ren Yuxi took a bite of An Ge's food, and her eyes lit up instantly. "Oh my god, this is so delicious!"
She prided herself on being a gourmand who had tasted all sorts of delicious food, but this was the first time she had ever eaten something this good. Ren Yuxi didn't say anything, but the satisfaction in her eyes was particularly noticeable.
Wang Jun hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Cuihua, could you give us some of your food?"
Before An Ge could speak, Martin's sinister voice rang out, "What, are you dissatisfied with my hospitality?"
"No, no," Wang Jun stammered, quickly denying it.
"Martin, it's not their fault. It's just that my food was too good. There are better options, so it's no wonder they're unhappy with your hospitality."
"So what are your thoughts?" Martin asked through gritted teeth.
Ren Yuxi was so frightened that she quickly tugged at An Ge's sleeve, signaling her not to say anything out of line.
An Ge sensed the emotions of the group—gloating, worry, and indifference—and smiled. "I have plenty of food, but it's impossible to feed everyone. How about this, I find these three agreeable; may I share my food with them?"
The three people An Ge pointed out were those who had consistently shown her kindness: Wang Jun, Ren Yuxi, and a young man named Yang San.
Everyone thought Cuihua had gone mad, daring to bargain with the devil.
They breathed a sigh of relief when An Ge called out their names; they certainly didn't want to be noticed by the castle's owner.
The three people who were mentioned were moved, but Wang Jun was still conflicted. He was grateful for An Ge's care, but he was also afraid of angering Martin.
To everyone's surprise, Martin only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "If it's just these three, of course that's fine."
Although An Ge didn't directly say she would protect the three of them, her meaning was pretty much the same. It seems she can't be too harsh on these three in the future.
By only pointing out three people, An Ge had accurately gauged Martin's tolerance level. She was naturally capable of protecting everyone, but that would inevitably enrage Martin, and he might then act recklessly and fight to the death.
It's just a matter of losing a little luck over a meal, and luck can be replenished by doing good deeds; it's not like it's going to kill them.
Besides, these people have no good intentions towards her, so why should she help them?
Upon hearing Martin's words, everyone looked at An Ge with awe. Just who was this man, and how could he command such obedience from Martin?
Wang Jun suddenly felt a little ashamed. He considered himself a good person, but after spending so much time in the divine realm, his kindness had become somewhat impure. He hadn't expected that the kindness he had shown at the beginning would be remembered by someone.
He understood better than anyone else that Cuihua's words weren't just about food; in other aspects, as long as they didn't court death, they wouldn't die.
Seeing Wang Jun and the others wolfing down their food, everyone's fear of Martin turned into resentment towards An Ge.
How could this person be so stingy? They could have rescued them too, but they didn't help at all. They dared only keep these thoughts to themselves, never daring to show them on their faces.
Wu Ya wanted to say something provocative, but the occasion wasn't right, and she was also a little afraid of this person named Cuihua.
Even if she wasn't very bright, she knew that the other party wasn't the kind of woman who relied on her looks to get by, but a real big shot with real power.
Their stomachs were so hungry, and since Wang Jun and the others were eating so heartily, the others couldn't resist either, and hesitantly put their food into their mouths.
The food didn't taste too bad, but perhaps it was psychological, everyone just found it hard to swallow.
After eating for a while, they found that they felt no abnormality, so they were relieved. It seemed that the food wouldn't kill them.
After the meal, it was free time. An Ge stretched; she had eaten too much and needed to go for a walk to digest.
"Yu Xi, would you like to go out for a walk with me?"
"Go, I'll go." Normally, she shouldn't move around too much, but it was An Ge who invited her, so she was willing to go even if it meant facing a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.
Ren Yuxi now has complete dependence on this woman who looks a few years younger than her.
Upon seeing this, Yang San quickly followed her, saying, "I'll go with you."
Although he wasn't a particularly smart person, he knew the importance of currying favor with powerful figures.
Wang Jun hesitated for a moment, but still decided to follow An Ge. Seeing this, the others also stood up.
An Ge stared blankly at the crowd moving in unison. She really just wanted to digest her food, and she had only sought out Ren Yuxi because she was bored.
With so many rules out there, are these people risking their lives?
"I suggest you don't go anywhere. Don't blame me if something happens."
An Ge's words made those who were about to follow stop in their tracks. Don't let her fairy-like appearance fool you; this big shot has quite the temper.
"You..."
"How could this be?" An Ge finished Wu Ya's sentence before she could speak, leaving Wu Ya speechless, unsure whether to speak or remain silent.
"Stop trying to morally blackmail me. Let me be frank with you, I wouldn't even flinch if any of you died in front of me." Helping others depends on the situation. She'd only help those who are ungrateful and take it for granted; they must be crazy to do that.
An Ge was too lazy to argue with them, so she grabbed Ren Yuxi's hand and started walking out. Yang San didn't want to associate with these people either, so he quickly followed.
Wang Jun hesitated for only a moment before the group disappeared. He could only sigh and stay obediently in the hall.
"Since Cuihua said it's safe inside, let's not wander off. Everyone has their own tasks, so let's hurry and find clues while the danger ahead is still low."
He was feeling a bit tired. These people's thoughts were practically written all over their faces. If he were in their shoes, he wouldn't want to deal with them either.
