At the dinner table, the guests were having friendly conversations.
No one knew that Achou, a wealthy merchant of rare goods in the Tivar Swamp Empire, died at the hands of his own son.
Ajun himself was wearing a tight white suit, and his every move did not show his previous timid appearance.
He had the shrewdness and ruthlessness of a businessman, and after just a short conversation, he had negotiated several deals for his family.
Ben also changed his opinion of people who had certain prejudices against him.
Just as they were negotiating, the door that had been closed was pushed open.
Ajun looked towards the door and was stunned.
Yili came to them holding Ishtar's hand while wearing a pink corseted long dress embroidered with flowers, pink gradient lace gloves, a bun on her head, and a dazzling pink crown.
Ishtar was wearing a formal suit of the same color as Yili. The pink color added a touch of softness to him, and the brooch with the same pattern on his chest made it possible to recognize the relationship between the two at a glance.
Yili glanced at Ishtar, whose eyes were full of smiles, and thought in his heart that Ishtar was really scheming.
Secretly declaring their sovereignty.
But it just happened to be what she wanted, at least these NPCs wouldn't
Many guests changed their views of Yili after seeing her.
This princess of a small country must not be offended.
Yili stood next to Ishta, feeling the gazes from all directions.
"take it easy"
Ishtar whispered intimately, which seemed very intimate to outsiders.
Baideli was among them. When he saw this scene, the golden fork in his hand was accidentally bent.
The maid beside him noticed it and immediately replaced a new gold fork for Baideli.
This damn Ishtar must be threatening his little princess!
He must rescue the little princess from the evil Ishtar!
He knows everything.
The witch told him everything.
The little princess didn't want to be with Ishtar at all.
Ishtar forced her to do all these.
Baideli bent the golden fork in his hand again.
The maid standing behind Baideli remained calm and changed her clothes in time.
The island owner specifically asked someone to remind him to take good care of Knight Commander Badli.
This is the subordinate of the future island owner's wife.
Even if Knight Commander Badley did something strange, it would not be surprising.
In order to avoid discomfort to the distinguished guests, all the giants in the castle took the shrinking potion made by the wizard Taliel and turned into the same form as humans.
However, this does not prevent them from changing back if they want to.
When they are not serving, they still use their giant form to clean this huge castle.
Ishtar sat in the main seat and Yili sat beside him.
After the maid poured Ishta a glass of mellow red wine, the pairs of maids at the other seats also poured wine for the guests they served.
Scene after scene was filled with the desire for money and extravagance, but Yi Li sat in the middle of it without being tainted by it at all.
"She can't drink alcohol now, let's have juice instead."
Ishta said with a smile to the maid serving beside Yili.
The maid then changed Yili's drink into mulberry and grape juice of the same color as the red wine.
Ishtar raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for traveling thousands of miles to attend this banquet..."
Yili had no intention of listening to Ishtar's words. Instead, she looked at the guests sitting in front of them. Whose handkerchief did she think it belonged to? How could she find its true owner?
Ishtar, who was standing next to him, finished speaking and said, "Let's drink this glass of fine wine together to celebrate the official start of this delicious dinner."
Ishtar raised his glass, and Yili noticed it out of the corner of his eye and raised his juice glass as well. The guests also raised their glasses.
"May God bless Mr. Ishtar to be forever rich, powerful, and everlasting."
They all drank the red wine in their glasses. Ishtar took a sip and looked at Yili: "Just drink it. They won't dare to say anything."
Yili didn't want to finish the cup of something that tasted a bit strange, so he put it down.
"This is the most popular juice on Giant Island. How does it taste?"
Yili gave a fake smile: "It tastes good."
You giants have quite a unique taste.
"Player Yili has been poisoned. Please find your antidote within the feast within one hour."
Yi Li: "..."
It turns out that it wasn't a strange taste, but poisoning.
She just said...
This juice tastes weird.
The villain in Yili's heart immediately overturned the table.
(╯● Dis●)╯┻━┻
She was just about to tell Ishtar that she was poisoned so that she could take a shortcut when she heard the system prompt her again.
"Please do not let anyone present know that you have been poisoned, or you will die instantly."
Yi Li: "..."
I can't afford to play with you, you dog system.
After I complete the game, I will report you.
"The system understands. If you wish to protect your privacy, please disable telepathic communication."
Yi Li: "..."
Oh, her God.
The system discovered that I was saying bad things.
"Oh, I meant for you to hear that. I'm threatening you now. Did you hear me, Dog System?"
Yili simply gave up.
So what if someone heard it?
She is not afraid.
"...Player Yili, please take this game seriously. The death countdown has begun for you.
00:59:01…"
Yi Li: "..."
She seriously suspected that the system was deliberately taking revenge on her by projecting the death countdown directly into the upper left corner of her vision. She couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. She could only watch time pass by little by little in front of her and death approach her step by step.
If one is not able to withstand psychological stress, he or she would have been unable to bear such oppression long ago.
Even if one has good psychological stress resistance, this may not prevent the disruption of judgment and action.
Yi Li simply ignored it.
Death is death whether it is early or late. She is a salted fish, so she chooses to turn over before dying.
Plate after plate of exquisite dinner plates covered with iron lids were brought up by male waiters wearing black gloves. The delicacies were placed on the table and then uncovered. One after another, fragrant food appeared in front of Yili.
An appetizer of salmon sashimi was placed in front of Yili. The fresh salmon was cut into thin slices and served with a dish of exquisite mustard sauce.
Truffle cream potatoes were also placed in front of Yili. The small and beautiful potatoes were cooked and topped with delicious truffle cream, which made people's appetite increase.
"What do you want to eat first?"
Ishtar asked Yili.
"Please choose your food. You can choose not to eat it, but there's a chance you'll miss the real antidote. You can only take one bite. Eating food that isn't an antidote will deduct one minute from your survival time."
The system issues the rules again.
Yi Li looked at the two things carefully.
Who knows, she is famous for having difficulty making choices.
Who knows if this choice will cost me my life.
Since you can't choose, just eat it all.
"Do you know a new way to eat it?"
Yili asked Ishta with a smile.
Ishtar was very cooperative with Yili: "How do you eat it?"
In front of Ishtar, Yili picked up the salmon, dipped it in soy sauce and mustard, then took a bite of the truffle cream potatoes next to it and ate it in one bite.
The flavors of mustard, soy sauce, butter, salmon, and potatoes mixed together in a surprisingly amazing way.
The guests' eyes widened at the sight.
This thing doesn't mind trying ε
