Machi wiped her mouth after finishing the last bite and readied herself for battle. "Looks like our meal made the people outside unable to hold back."

But it was no surprise. Food had always been scarce in Meteor City and constantly fought over. Before joining Luo Ye and the others, she had always eaten cold food, but today Luo Ye had made hot pot.

The aroma of heated food had drifted outside, so it was only natural that it attracted enemies.

Fortunately, she had been quick-witted. The moment Luo Ye announced they could eat, she had stuffed food into her mouth as fast as she could, allowing her to fill her stomach in such a short time.

Luo Ye set down his chopsticks, his entire body radiating materialized resentment. "I just wanted a hot meal. Is that really so hard?"

God knew what he had been eating since coming to Meteor City. The bread was rock-hard enough to chip his teeth and even expired. The water was murky and scarce. It had made him question his life.

Now that he had finally overcome countless difficulties to eat something hot, someone had come knocking to cause trouble.

Machi said, "Actually, it's best to eat cold food." If food was not heated, its scent would not drift out. But Luo Ye seemed to really want something hot.

His desire for cooked food had overwhelmed all reason. All he could think about was hot pot, and he had not considered anything else at all.

Feitan spoiled him too much and would never stop him. She did not want to ruin the mood either, while Illumi still seemed not to fully understand the situation in Meteor City and had not warned him.

And so, they ended up having this hot pot.

Since she could not refuse, she might as well enjoy it. That was why she had not had time to speak back then and had only kept her head down, eating.

After all, before food entered one's stomach, there was always a chance it could be snatched away. Only after eating it was it truly safe.

Luo Ye pouted. "I know eating cold food is the right thing to do here, but it doesn't taste good! I just want to eat it hot."

He had beaten Rasa, obtained so many ingredients, and gained a house. What was wrong with eating something nice as a reward for himself?

"True, cold food doesn't taste good." Illumi nodded in agreement. "It tastes better when it's cooked."

He had previously stayed with his grandmother and eaten cooked food all the time. No one had ever dared to cause trouble.

Later, after coming to Luo Ye's side, he had been eating cold food. Their previous place had neither water nor electricity, so even if they wanted cooked food, they had not had the means.

Only after arriving at this house had he begun eating cooked food outside for the first time.

He had not expected to be disturbed the first time he ate outside. It was really difficult to have a hot meal in Meteor City.

"If Yezi wants cold food, then he can eat cold food. If he wants hot food, then he can eat hot food." Feitan stood up, the dagger in his hand glinting coldly. "I'll go kill the people outside."

They dared interrupt Yezi while he was eating? They must have been tired of living!

No matter who was outside, he would skin them alive and tear out their tendons, making sure they deeply remembered in their next life not to pick fights while others were eating!

"I'll go with you." Although Feitan was very strong, anyone who dared come knocking knowing this was Rasa's territory definitely had some skill.

After all, one only had one life. One careless mistake and running into a truly tough opponent meant death, so people in Meteor City were cautious.

A rough male voice outside was full of confusion. "What kind of door is this? Why is it so hard? I kicked it, but it didn't even fly open?"

He kicked it several more times, but although the door shook violently with every blow, it showed no sign of opening.

That made no sense. He had used Nen. Could this door actually withstand Nen?

Another male voice rang out, thick with suspicion. "Uvogin, can you even do this? You can't even kick open a door. Didn't you eat today?"
