The Entire Anomaly World Opens to You!

With that one slash, the air in the entire cafeteria seemed to be sucked dry.

The other Anomalies, who had been eager to gossip, had their intentions instantly obliterated by this domineering and peerless strike.

As for the surviving human contestants, they subconsciously held their breath, each one as silent as a cicada in winter, afraid to make the slightest sound.

Xia Yan's majesty was vividly portrayed by this single strike.

"Hmph!"

Without even looking at the thick bone plate that had been cut in two, he casually sheathed the door-sized bone knife back into the scabbard at his waist, his movements rough and swift.

He suddenly turned his head and let out a thunderous roar at the two Multi-armed Monster subordinates, who were so terrified their limbs had gone stiff and they didn't know where to put their dozen or so claws.

"What are you still standing around for! Serve the food!"

"Yes! Yes! My Lord!"

The two Multi-armed Monsters acted as if they had received a divine decree from heaven, as if granted a great pardon. They used all their limbs, scrambling and practically crawling towards the kitchen.

The entire cafeteria was instantly filled with the symphony of clashing pots and pans.

This time, it was completely different from yesterday's nauseating "dark cuisine" that could drive any normal creature insane.

Instead, the air was filled with an ultimate aroma that could make one's soul tremble and one's mouth water uncontrollably!

Xia Yan himself took to the stage.

His sturdy, mountain-like physique appeared incredibly agile before the stove. The door-sized bone knife in his hands moved, sometimes with grand sweeps, sometimes with delicate precision, like a wild and unrestrained artist.

A bizarre creature, resembling a plump wild boar but covered in shimmering, colorful scales, was quickly dealt with by him and hung inside a specially made, giant oven burning with a faint blue flame.

The oil sizzled and dripped onto the spectral fire, creating even more intense waves of aroma.

The strange meat fragrance, mixed with the sweet scent of unknown fruit wood, acted like an invisible hand, forcefully entering the nostrils of every living being, instantly dominating everyone's sense of smell.

Following this, plates of dishes, like works of art, were tremblingly served by the Multi-armed Monsters onto the long dining table.

Miraculously, these dishes carried the essence of various countries' cuisines.

The Dragon Country's roast duck gleamed with oil, while the stir-fried pork exuded wok hei.

The Cherry Blossom Country's sushi was exquisite as a painting, and the Eagle Country's burgers were stacked high.

Although the raw ingredients were all unheard-of Anomalies, the familiar tastes made all the surviving human contestants see their distant homeland in an instant.

Even though they had only been here for two days, it felt like years, every minute and second an ordeal.

Of course, this excluded the Dragon Country contestant, Chu He.

Xia Yan's cold gaze swept over the group of humans.

"You, each choose one plate, and finish it all. No wasting!"

He paused, then shifted his gaze to the Anomalies, who could no longer contain themselves, their throats bobbing, his voice laced with undisguised mockery.

"As for you..."

"If you want to eat."

"You can buy it with your own money!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Anomalies were taken aback for a moment, then an unparalleled look of ecstasy spread across their faces!

What they feared most wasn't spending money, but Xia Yan not letting them eat at all!

To be able to taste dishes personally prepared by the legendary "Ghost Chef" here, what an honor this was! This was a qualification they could boast about for the rest of their lives!

Instantly, all the Anomalies took out their phones, and like sharks smelling blood, they swarmed towards the dining table, afraid that if they were a second late, the legendary delicacy would be snatched up by their companions.

"Oh my god! It's a 'Blazing Scale Boar'! I can smell it! That's definitely the scent!"

"Don't push! Scan the QR code to pay! Whoever the hell dares to cut in line today, I'll tear him apart and use him as an ingredient!"

The scene was incredibly chaotic, the Anomalies' primal craving for food almost threatened to blow the roof off the cafeteria.

"Brother, open your mouth. This piece of thigh meat is roasted the best. Look at the skin, how crispy it is."

Xia Yao picked up a piece of duck leg, roasted to a golden brown with tender meat, carefully blew away the steam, and then offered it to Chu He's mouth with expectant eyes.

Chu He smiled and opened his mouth to eat it. Before he could even praise it, another fair, jade-like hand had already picked up a piece of the crispiest duck skin and offered it.

"Little He He, the skin is the essence. The meat is too dry. This is more fragrant."

Chu He unhesitatingly opened his mouth and ate the duck skin as well.

Then, he very naturally extended his left hand and dotingly stroked Xia Yao's head.

He then extended his right hand and gently pinched Kachi's smooth, plump cheek.

His skill as a master of balancing affections had reached the highest level.

"It's all delicious."

"You fed it to me, so everything is delicious."

Chu He's tone was so gentle it could curdle milk.

"The meat Yao Yao fed me was filled with love, and the skin Kachi fed me was filled with heart. To me, both were unparalleled delicacies."

These words instantly made the two girls, who had been exchanging sharp glances and simmering with unspoken tension, break into smiles, their faces filled with contentment.

Xia Nuo, standing beside them, stared with his eyes wide open.

The piece of grilled meat in his mouth, which had been so delicious it made him want to cry, suddenly tasted bland and unappetizing.

He looked at his sister's affectionate, almost bird-like demeanor and a profound sense of being abandoned by the world washed over him.

He finally mustered up the courage, tentatively, and in a tone bordering on subservience, called out.

"Sis, I... I want you to feed me too..."

Xia Yao shot him an icy, bone-chilling glare.

Xia Nuo's neck snapped back, and he silently buried his head in his food tray.

He screamed inwardly, tears streaming down his face.

Brother-in-law is a treasure, I'm just grass!

This life is truly unbearable!

Not far away, in a corner, Xia Yan kept his back to this "eye-searing" scene, drinking an entire jar of unknown strong liquor as if it were water, all by himself.

Gulp, gulp.

The spicy liquor flowed down his throat, but it did nothing to extinguish the raging, nameless fire in his heart.

He could clearly hear the hushed whispers of the Anomalies behind him.

"My god, Lord Xia Yao... actually serves people like that..."

"What kind of love potion did that Dragon Country man give them! To make Lord Xia Yao and Lord Kachi both..."

"Shh! Are you tired of living! Didn't you see Lord Xia Yan's expression!"

Although Xia Yan had slowly begun to accept, and even, to a certain extent, acknowledge Chu He's abilities.

But to watch his own pure, delicate, and peerless 'cabbage' act so intimately and pleasingly towards a human boy, his heart felt like it was stuffed with a ball of burning cotton, blocked and blazing!

The meal slowly came to an end in an atmosphere that was bizarre, harmonious, yet filled with heartache and jealousy.

Xia Yan abruptly stood up.

He slammed the empty, oversized liquor jar onto the table with a loud "Clang," the sound so deafening that the entire mess hall fell into silence once more.

He slowly turned around, scanning the human contestants who had just finished eating and still had a hint of satisfaction on their faces. His voice was as cold as the Siberian ice.

"Are you all full?"

The crowd, not understanding, instinctively nodded one after another.

"Very good."

Xia Yan grinned, revealing two rows of stark white teeth. There was no warmth in his smile, only endless menace.

"Starting today, the free lunch is over."

"From now on, if you want to eat, go out and earn money yourself!"

This declaration caused an uproar.

Xia Yao was also stunned. She quickly stood up and asked anxiously, "Uncle! How could this happen? Didn't the Master's mission state that they had to stay in this school for forty-four days?"

The smile on Xia Yan's face slowly faded, his expression becoming unprecedentedly grave.

He didn't answer Xia Yao. Instead, he looked up, his gaze seeming to pierce through the mess hall ceiling and towards the sky shrouded in Anomaly power.

"That was the old rule."

"The Master has new instructions."

"Perhaps... He found this game too boring."

Xia Yan's gaze returned to the pale-faced humans, a hint of pity in his eyes, but more so, coldness.

"Starting tomorrow, this school will no longer be your cage..."

"...Nor will it be your sanctuary."

"The entire Anomaly world will be fully open to you!"

"Tomorrow, all contact with Earth will be completely severed. No one will be able to see you, and if a person dies, their country perishes."

"And tomorrow, new, more interesting rules will be announced."

"I wish you... good luck."
