In a corner sat a woman dressed in a white gown. Though she could not be called devastatingly beautiful, she was still a rare beauty to behold. Her delicate face and slightly gray eyes were rather captivating at the moment. Her face had been carefully powdered. Her long black hair fell all the way to her slender waist, too narrow to be grasped in one hand. A black belt cinched it, giving her a refreshing air. The woman sat there quietly, eating her food. Her movements were light and slow, displaying the noble grace and elegance of aristocracy, forming a stark contrast with the noisy surroundings.

Xiao Yan rubbed his eyes. Was this person really Xiao Yuting? Xiao Yuting was a solitary person who never deliberately dressed herself up. Yet this quietness was exactly the same as when Xiao Yan had first met her.

"I've never seen this woman before either. But she is quite beautiful." Xiao Jian had also noticed her and spoke to Xiao Yan.

"She's new too. She came right before me." Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly. Just as he was about to leave with Xiao Jian, several teasing voices rang out.

"Little sister, which continent are you from? We brothers are from Starflame Continent. Would you mind if we sat beside you?" Several people walked toward Xiao Yuting. They were all fairly handsome, especially the one speaking, who stood like a jade tree facing the wind.

"Sure. I've only just arrived, so I hope you brothers will take good care of me." Xiao Yuting revealed a smile like that of the girl next door.

"Starflame Continent. That girl is in trouble," Xiao Jian said.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xiao Yan felt that the ones in trouble should be those men. With Xiao Yuting's poison arts, dealing with them should not be difficult. Only fools would think Xiao Yuting was as adorable as she looked.

"Starflame Continent has quite an abundance of Emperor-Origin Qi. Though these people look like spoiled young masters, their strength is not low. They also arrived before that girl and hold all kinds of advantages," Xiao Jian said.

"In that case, let's watch carefully. There may even be a good show." Xiao Yan was still quite unhappy about Xiao Yuting's words. Today, he would watch a free show to make up for his losses.

Of the four men, two sat opposite Xiao Yuting, while the other two sat on either side of her. All of them stared at Xiao Yuting, no longer eating their meals, as if merely looking at her could fill their stomachs. Still, it had to be admitted that Xiao Yuting was indeed quite alluring at this moment.

"I'm not full yet, but I don't want to eat this bowl of noodles anymore. I'm going to get something else." Xiao Yuting looked at the half bowl of noodles before her.

"If you want to exchange it, I'm afraid that won't be possible. If you don't mind, miss, eat ours instead. Take whichever one you like." That handsome young master said.

"Ah, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?" Xiao Yuting said weakly, looking utterly pitiable.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It is our honor to treat you to a meal, miss," another person said.

"Yuting has received such treatment upon first arriving; I am truly overwhelmed by your favor. If you don't mind, you may eat my noodles. Let it be my gift of apology." Xiao Yuting revealed a smile so enchanting it could kill without consequence.

The four men hesitated for a moment.

"If you four do not eat first, Yuting will truly feel uneasy. In that case, Yuting should leave." After saying this, Xiao Yuting made as if to rise and depart.

"Wait, we'll eat." Before everyone's eyes, the four men divided Xiao Yuting's bowl evenly into four portions.

Seizing the chance, Xiao Yuting raised her head, looked at Xiao Yan, and gave him a sly smile. Xiao Yan could not help shuddering.

"Young masters, there is something Yuting does not understand. I hope you can clear up my confusion." Xiao Yuting said.

"Whatever question Miss Yuting has, just ask. We will tell you everything we know and hold nothing back."

"Good. Yuting wants to know whether human flesh tastes better or pork tastes better," Xiao Yuting said.

"Hehe, of course pork tastes better," the four said in unison.

"Good. Then did your parents ever tell you this: beautiful women are calamities?" Xiao Yuting said smugly to the four men.

That one sentence made cold sweat pour down the four men's backs.

"Starting tomorrow, prepare meals for me every day. I want two portions. If you want to add seasonings, feel free, but I do not mind turning you into my poison-testing subjects. Didn't you ask which continent I came from? I can tell you. I come from Heavenly Spirit Continent," Xiao Yuting said coldly.

After speaking, Xiao Yuting rose and walked straight toward Xiao Yan.

"This is bad. Quick, leave," Xiao Yan said to Xiao Jian.

"Xiao Yan, stop right there. Am I really that scary?" Xiao Yuting's somewhat angry voice carried over.

"Miss Yuting, well, I still have matters to attend to, so I won't disturb your meal." Xiao Yan stopped walking.

"Go detoxify my sister. Once you do, I won't trouble you anymore," Xiao Yuting said.

"I truly can't do it. If you don't believe me, you can ask your sister." Xiao Yan stared at Xiao Yuting. Detoxifying her would require an Emperor Sovereign expert.

"Fine. Just wait. I'll find a way to make you learn how to detoxify her." Xiao Yuting gritted her teeth as she spoke to Xiao Yan.

"Just now, I asked them, and they said pork tastes better. So Xiao Yan's flesh must not taste as good as pork, right?" Xiao Yuting suddenly smiled again.

"Xiao Yan's flesh is not as good as pork.

Xiao Yan is not as good as pork.

Xiao Yan is not as good as a pig.

Xiao Yan is not as good as a pig."

Under Xiao Jian's astonished gaze, Xiao Yuting said those words. Xiao Yan's expression became exceedingly ugly, while Xiao Yuting's face was full of delight.

"They called you worse than a pig. Aren't you going to teach them a lesson?" Xiao Yuting added fuel to the fire.

"I'm not angry. Not angry at all." Xiao Yan desperately tried to calm his fury.

"I'm not angry—are you even human? Xiao Yuting, do you believe I'll slap you to death?" Xiao Yan snarled at Xiao Yuting.

"Why are you being so fierce? I thought they were wrong too, so I helped you teach them a lesson. Look, even though you won't help my sister, I'm still so good to you. In return, can you help my sister a little?" Xiao Yuting put on the appearance of having suffered a monstrous injustice, nearly bursting into tears.

Xiao Yan glanced at the four men. They had all collapsed on the ground, their lives and deaths unknown. Xiao Yan's anger vanished completely.

"But I really can't help your sister," Xiao Yan said.

"Xiao Yan, you've gone too far. Since your flesh tastes better than pork, one day I'll cut off a piece and eat it. Let's see whether you're better than a pig." Xiao Yuting flew into a rage.

Xiao Yuting walked up to Xiao Yan and stomped on his foot.

"Sorry, I didn't have eyes."

Leaving those words behind, Xiao Yuting strode away.
