When Ye Yichen saw that Xiaoxi's face was red with anger, he assumed that his sister was unhappy that he had come uninvited and risked her life.
So Ye Yichen smiled at his sister and then shook his head.
Xiaoxi suddenly remembered: Didn't she give Seventh Brother the talisman?
That talisman was so powerful, but Seventh Brother is fine.
As Xiaoxi was thinking, Mrs. Yao had already smiled and invited everyone to take their seats.
She came specifically to hold Xiaoxi's hand.
"What a pretty little cutie, with such fair and tender skin. Auntie likes her very much. Come, sit next to Auntie."
Xiaoxi really wanted to shake off Yao Tai's annoying hand and sat down next to her.
On the other side of Yao Tai, Ye Yichen was still sitting.
Bei Chen and Qing Ning sat together, Yan Mu sat with Fox Demon No. 2, and Du Xin sat alone.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Mrs. Yao raised her wine glass and said, "It is a great honor to welcome everyone to my gathering!"
Everyone at the table raised their wine glasses, and Xiaoxi raised her juice glass as well, clinking glasses with them.
Xiaoxi and her group definitely weren't there to eat and drink; everyone was just pretending to drink.
Some cold dishes were already laid out on the table, and judging from the dishes at this banquet, it was in the traditional Chinese style.
Mrs. Yao apologized for any shortcomings in our hospitality, and asked everyone to make themselves at home.
The three women gracefully began to savor the dish.
Ye Yichen and Du Xin exchanged glances: Why isn't Xiaoxi making a move yet? She didn't really come here to eat.
Then Xiaoxi noticed that her seventh brother and Du Xin were both looking at her, and even Yan Mu was looking at her.
Their eyes held a hint of expectation.
Xiaoxi blinked, meaning to calm down.
Mrs. Yao asked in surprise, "Huh, why isn't anyone touching their chopsticks? Don't they like these flavors?"
Everyone shook their heads, which was really awkward.
Mrs. Yao didn't seem to mind. "You'll definitely like the main course. Next, please try our family's specialties."
The servants pushed a food cart and laid out large platters of dishes.
Ye Yichen and his group were all stunned.
Why should a dinner party consist of huge platters of food? Shouldn't it be served in small, elegant platters, each plate displaying delicious color, aroma, and taste? It's not like a rural banquet where huge platters are piled high.
The maid brought out a large plate of braised whole chicken and placed it in front of Mrs. Yao.
This is probably roasted turkey; it's so oily and greasy it makes you want to vomit.
Mrs. Yao stood up, gave a wicked smile, and said, "Please try my braised chicken. I'll share some with you."
She picked up a small knife from the side and slashed into the belly of the roast chicken.
With a "bang," the roast chicken's belly burst open, releasing a plume of black smoke.
The plume of black smoke was so choking that everyone couldn't open their eyes, and it also had a fishy, foul smell.
Suddenly, there was a "crack" sound as Xiaoxi sat down, and everyone saw her sink down sharply, disappearing from both her and the chair.
"Xiao Xi!"
Ye Yichen, Yan Mu, and Du Xin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
When Xiaoxi saw the chicken exploding and emitting black smoke, she thought to herself, "Here it comes." Just as she was about to fan away the smoke in front of her, she suddenly felt a sinking sensation and fell into the mechanism on the floor.
Basically, it was a direct descent; Xiaoxi fell straight into an underground kitchen.
The walls were greasy, and the entire kitchen reeked of blood and cooking fumes, making it filthy everywhere.
"Haha, the goods have arrived!"
"Wait, shouldn't it be a big man falling from the sky? Why is it a little girl?"
Two burly men, shirtless and wearing shiny leather aprons, carrying pig-slaughtering knives, walked towards Xiaoxi.
"What a beautiful young girl, with such delicate skin. It would be such a waste to kill her."
