I'm Sorry, I Was Too Arrogant!

She paid no attention to the three sisters' covert observation.

Xi Shenlian, who was eating, perhaps knew that they were secretly wondering whether they would have to prepare a great deal of food every day from then on.

While chewing his food, he casually said to them with an ordinary expression:

"From now on, you don't need to prepare too much food. Just prepare my portion according to the appetite of five people."

He knew his own situation best.

Normally speaking,

Awakened could eat food too,

but they didn't need to eat that much.

Xi Shenlian was a special type among them.

First of all,

his Innate Talent—Arbitrary One—was constantly strengthening every aspect of him.

And as one of the important channels through which humans took in energy and nutrients,

his digestive system was naturally a top priority in the strengthening process!

Now,

although he hadn't actually tried it,

Xi Shenlian felt that he could probably even gnaw directly on radioactive nuclear material and chemical poisons capable of easily killing millions of people.

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

Many days ago,

through the Learning Space's function of simulating all kinds of natural environments, he had already confirmed that he could eat magma like jelly.

Furthermore,

over the past two days,

while simulating an outer-space environment, he had discovered that as he continued evolving, he could now absorb various types of cosmic radiation to replenish his energy and nutrients while in space, using them to maintain his bodily functions.

In the face of behavior that was honestly not very human,

if he hadn't been certain that he really was an Earthling, and if various Awakened hadn't truly pulled off all kinds of indescribably miraculous feats throughout history, Xi Shenlian would have begun wondering which planet's alien Lifeform he had come from...

Besides having exceptionally strong digestive abilities,

the Learning Space's ability to convert the energy absorbed from the outside world during its internal simulations into actual gains for him further enhanced Xi Shenlian's ability to digest all kinds of food.

Basically,

anything he swallowed could be broken down instantly.

Including things like diamonds!

It wouldn't cause him the slightest feeling of bloating.

It was as if he had a miniature black hole inside his stomach!

Therefore,

feeding him until he was full was basically impossible for ordinary people.

Even several thousand chefs couldn't do it!

Moreover,

wasting a large amount of time at the dinner table every day, acting as nothing but a glutton, didn't really suit Xi Shenlian's needs either.

At most, he could gorge himself once in a while.

If nothing else,

he could just slow down his rate of improvement a little.

It was precisely because of this

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

As for ordinary meals,

he only needed to sample the taste of the food.

But in the face of his goodwill,

among the Ye Qi Three Sisters,

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

She felt that her professional abilities had been challenged.

She immediately decided to prove herself through her abilities.

"Please rest assured and enjoy your meal. At worst, we'll prepare enough food for dozens of people at every meal. That's nothing difficult for us."

"Any one of the three of us can do it easily!"

Her words were firm and full of confidence.

Even Ye Qisao and Ye Qishi beside her nodded repeatedly.

They all looked extremely confident!

But soon,

they lost all their confidence.

"Food for dozens of people??"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. Ever since I became an Awakened, I've completely lost the ability to feel full. Food for dozens of people? Hundreds of people? Thousands of people? The difference is actually negligible to me. I could keep eating nonstop for several months, until the chefs dropped dead from exhaustion."

In just a few brief sentences,

the chefs who were preparing the food turned deathly pale, looking as if their parents had died and their hearts had been torn out.

The three sisters, who had been brimming with confidence moments ago, were struck as if by lightning.

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

With a solemn expression, she bowed to Xi Shenlian:

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

"Please pretend I never said anything before!"

"We'll carefully prepare five people's worth of food for you at every meal!"

It couldn't be helped.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to work hard.

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

How was this even human?

He was a completely different species!!

As ordinary humans, they truly had no power to fight back!!

However,

Ye Qisao, the eldest sister, still asked:

"If you only prepare enough food for five people, won't you be hungry?"

"I won't. Even if I go for several months without eating, I won't get hungry."

As Xi Shenlian scraped at the steak on his plate, he casually replied:

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

"...An unusually specialized Awakened..."

Although she still didn't understand what exactly was going on with Xi Shenlian after hearing his explanation, Ye Qisao still nodded seriously:

"All right, I understand."

It was similar to how ordinary people couldn't understand the various things immortals did.

But once they thought of the other person as an immortal, no matter what they did, it all seemed reasonable.

The ordinary people would immediately be enlightened.

Awakened were already very special, and unusually specialized Awakened were surely even more extraordinary...

No matter what they did,

everyone would find it perfectly reasonable.

Few people would think there was anything suspicious about it.

After all, among the other members of his kind, there were even some who flew into outer space to beat up asteroids...

Compared with that,

being able to eat obviously couldn't be considered some major suspicious issue.

As long as he didn't chew up the Earth, it was fine...

--

That evening,

inside a presidential suite at a five-star hotel,

Ye Qili flopped onto the large bed in front of her, looking extremely happy:

"Wow, I never thought our employer would arrange a presidential suite for us directly!!"

"Talk about being loaded!!"

Even when they were at the Sixteen Nights Family, they couldn't simply stay in a presidential suite.

Unless the young lady they served became the head of the family.

At that point,

as her personal maids and trusted confidantes, they would indeed be qualified to arrange a presidential suite for themselves.

Because in great families, personal maids or personal attendants who grew up alongside each heir were not only targets cultivated by the family from childhood, but also trusted confidantes who stayed by the heirs' sides from a young age. After the heir inherited the position of family head, they would often rise with the tide and automatically become the chief steward.

By then,

their actual status would be only two ranks below that of the family head.

Usually, they would be just one rank below the matriarch and the legitimate direct descendants, and occasionally their status might even be about the same or somewhat higher.

Therefore,

once they reached that level of power, a so-called presidential suite was naturally an insignificant matter.

But before that,

it was still somewhat out of reach...

Especially when there were numerous heirs and the person they served was having trouble maintaining her position, it was even more so!

Ignoring her youngest sister's excitement,

Ye Qisao, who had spent the entire afternoon handling various furniture-related matters, sat and rested for a while before asking Ye Qishi somewhat wearily:

"What do you think of Young Master Lian as a person?"

After thinking for a while,

Ye Qishi, beside her, answered by pointing straight to the heart of the matter:

"...His personality is pretty good. He's just visibly a bit of a scumbag..."

"But overall, I think he's already very good, especially given that we haven't received any news from the young lady at all."

Hearing this,

Ye Qisao sighed:

"Indeed."

"Since we're here, we might as well settle in..."
