I'm Sorry, I Was Too Arrogant!

He didn't pay attention to the three sisters' covert observation.

Xi Shenlian, who was dining, perhaps knew they were secretly contemplating how much food they would have to prepare daily from now on.

While chewing his food, he casually said to them with a normal expression:

"From now on, you don't need to prepare too much food. Just prepare my portion as if it were for five people."

He knew his own situation.

Normally.

Although Awakened beings also eat.

They don't need to eat that much.

Xi Shenlian belonged to a special type among them.

Firstly.

His [Innate Talent - Unrestrained] was constantly strengthening all aspects of him.

And as one of the important channels for Humans to absorb energy and nutrients.

His digestive system was naturally the top priority during the strengthening process!

Now.

Although he hadn't actually tried it.

Xi Shenlian felt that he could probably even chew and eat nuclear fuel with radiation and chemical toxins that could easily kill millions of people.

It would probably be no different from eating cake and drinking beverages...

As early as many days ago.

Through the Learning Space's function that could simulate various natural environments, he had confirmed that he could eat lava like jelly.

And.

In the last two days.

While simulating a space environment, he discovered that with continuous evolution, if he were in a space environment now, he could actually replenish energy and nutrients by absorbing various space radiations to maintain his bodily functions.

Facing these behaviors that were truly not very human-like.

If he hadn't been sure that he was indeed an Earthling, and that the various Awakened beings had indeed performed all sorts of unspeakable miraculous feats in historical records, Xi Shenlian would have almost suspected what kind of extraterrestrial life form he was from...

In addition to his extraordinarily strong digestive ability, the Learning Space's ability to convert the simulated results within it into actual gains for himself by taking in external energy had further enhanced Xi Shenlian's digestive capacity for various foods.

Basically.

Anything he ate could be instantly decomposed.

Including things like diamonds!

He wouldn't feel any bloating at all.

It was as if his stomach contained a small black hole!

Therefore.

Filling him up was basically impossible for normal people.

Even tens of thousands of chefs wouldn't be enough!

Furthermore.

Wasting a large amount of time at the dining table every day to eat, being a pure glutton, did not align with Xi Shenlian's needs.

He only needed to indulge in a large meal occasionally at most.

At worst.

His rate of becoming stronger would just slow down a bit.

It was precisely because of this.

That he told Ye Qisao and the others not to prepare too much food.

For normal meals.

He only needed to taste the flavors of the food.

But facing his good intentions.

Among the three Ye sisters.

Ye Qili, the youngest and least talkative, frowned slightly.

She felt that her professional capabilities had been challenged.

She immediately decided to prove herself with her strength.

"Please rest assured and enjoy your meal. At worst, we'll prepare food for dozens of people for each meal. It's not difficult for us at all."

"Any one of us three sisters can do it with ease!"

Her words were firm and full of confidence.

Even Ye Qisao and Ye Qishi, standing beside her, nodded in agreement.

They all seemed very confident!

But it wasn't long.

They lost all their confidence.

"Food for dozens of people??"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. Ever since I became an Awakened, I've never truly felt full. Food for dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people makes little difference to me. I can keep eating for months without stopping, until the chefs collapse from exhaustion."

These few short sentences.

Caused the faces of the chefs preparing the food to change drastically, looking as though they had lost their parents, filled with grief.

The three sisters, who had been full of confidence moments before, were struck as if by lightning.

Ye Qili, who had spoken first, immediately stood up and admitted her mistake.

With a solemn expression, she bowed deeply to Xi Shenlian:

"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant!"

"Please disregard everything I said before!"

"We will carefully prepare the five-person portion of food for each of your meals!"

There was no other way.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to try their best.

Their opponent's combat power was simply too formidable!!

How could this be human?

It was practically another species!!

As ordinary humans, they were indeed powerless to fight!!

However.

Ye Qisao, as the eldest sister, still asked:

"If we only prepare food for five people, won't you go hungry?"

"Not at all. I won't feel hungry even if I don't eat for months."

Xi Shenlian replied casually while cutting his steak:

"As an Awakened with a specialized body, hunger and fullness are states that are very difficult for me to reach."

"...A specialized Awakened..."

Facing his explanation, although she still didn't understand Xi Shenlian's situation, Ye Qisao nodded seriously:

"Alright, I understand."

It was similar to how mortals couldn't comprehend the actions of immortals.

But the moment they thought of the other party as an immortal, whatever they did seemed reasonable.

Mortals would then immediately feel at ease.

Awakened were already special, and specialized Awakened were surely even more so...

Whatever they did.

Everyone found it reasonable.

Not many people would find it suspicious.

After all, among their kind, there were some who could fly into outer space to punch asteroids...

In comparison.

Being able to eat was clearly not a major, highly suspicious issue.

As long as they didn't start gnawing on the Earth...

That evening.

In a presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

Ye Qili threw herself onto the large bed in front of them, looking very pleased:

"Wow, I didn't expect our employer to arrange a presidential suite for us directly!!"

"They're really wealthy!!"

Even when they were at the Sixteen Nights Family, they wouldn't be able to stay in a presidential suite.

Unless the young lady they served became the family head.

At that time.

As their exclusive maids and trusted confidantes, they would then be qualified to arrange a presidential suite for themselves.

In large families, the personal maids or attendants who grow up alongside each heir are not only trained by the family from a young age but also become trusted confidantes who accompany the heir. When the heir eventually takes over as family head, these attendants often naturally rise to the position of head steward.

And by that time, their actual status would only be two rungs below the family head.

Typically, it would be one rung below the matriarch and the direct descendants of the main lineage, and sometimes their status would even be comparable or slightly higher.

Therefore, once power reached that level, the so-called presidential suite would naturally be an insignificant matter.

But before that point, it was still a bit of a stretch...

Especially when there were many heirs, and the person one was serving was finding it difficult to manage!

Ignoring her youngest sister's excitement, Ye Qisao, who had spent the entire afternoon dealing with various household matters, rested for a while before asking Ye Qishi with a hint of fatigue, "What do you think of Young Master Lian?"

After a moment of thought, Ye Qishi, standing beside her, pointed directly to the core of the issue and replied, "...His personality is alright, but he's visibly a bit of a scoundrel..."

"However, overall, I think he's already very good, especially considering we have no news from Miss at all."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qisao sighed, "Indeed."

"Well then, since we're here, let's make the best of it..."
