Chapter 153: The Ignorant Humanity

Luo Yao ate with remarkable elegance, yet her speed in devouring the food was anything but slow. If they kept watching, the dishes might soon be completely gone by her hands.

Everyone else continued to eat hungrily, as if they could devour their own tongues. After quite a while, they finally stopped, thoroughly satisfied. They genuinely couldn’t eat any more; their stomachs were stretched tight and round.

Whether it was because Lin Xiao had prepared meat from a level-six spirit beast this time, or simply because he made more food than usual, everyone was full, yet roughly half the dishes remained on the table.

The only one still eating was Luo Yao.

Since she started eating, she hadn’t spoken a word—her full attention was captured by the food before her. At this moment, she hadn’t even noticed that everyone else was already full. She kept eating voraciously.

At first, Zi Shu and the others didn’t sense anything unusual. After all, when they first tried Lin Xiao’s cooking, they had also eaten a lot.

“I think I’m starting to like this new little girl. After all, a girl who loves to eat can’t have a bad heart.”

“What kind of twisted logic is that? Somehow it sounds reasonable.”

“Why bother talking? Let her eat. She can eat as much as she wants.”

Gradually, the others’ gazes toward Luo Yao grew strange. The food on the table was disappearing rapidly, yet Luo Yao showed no sign of stopping.

Lin Xiao: ∑(°口°?)

What the heck! Is this girl a glutton by zodiac sign?

Before, they just thought she ate quickly, nothing seemed off. But now that everyone had stopped, they realized how incredible what was happening with Luo Yao really was.

Lin Xiao roughly calculated that in this short time, Luo Yao had probably eaten close to a hundred jin (about 110 pounds) of meat.

Judging by her figure, she might not even weigh a hundred jin herself!

Where had all that food gone?

Looking at her still flat belly, Lin Xiao fell silent.

The others’ expressions turned increasingly horrified. Only after every dish was cleared did Luo Yao let out a satisfied belch, her face radiating contentment.

The men of the Wolf Mercenary Group all inhaled sharply.

At least half of the food had gone into Luo Yao’s mouth.

How... how did she manage that?

At last, Luo Yao noticed their stares and her face flushed crimson.

She had been so absorbed by the delicious food that she’d completely forgotten how astonishing her appetite truly was.

“Sorry... it’s just been so long... since I’ve tasted such delicious food. I lost control for a moment. Actually... I... I don’t usually eat that much.”

Upon hearing Luo Yao’s words, everyone rolled their eyes in unison.

Is that what you call not eating much?

Do you have some misunderstanding about human appetites?

“It’s fine. Being able to eat is a blessing. I can’t guarantee anything else, but in our Wolf Mercenary Group, you won’t have any trouble getting your fill.”

“Yeah, we understand. It’s no big deal.”

At Zi Shu and the others’ words, a glimmer lit up Luo Yao’s eyes.

“Really? I can really eat my fill every time?”

Lin Xiao: o(′^｀)o

Hey, hey, hey! Is it me cooking or you?

Cooking this much food every meal is exhausting for me, you know!

And Luo Yao! How obsessed are you with eating?

You even speak more fluently when talking about food.

“Of course. Hai Zhu, don’t you agree?”

At this point, Lin Xiao could say nothing more.

“Of course! This is no problem at all! You can take it as acknowledgment of my skills.”

“Thank you... thank you all. You’re all so kind to me!”

The men of the Wolf Mercenary Group could not help but swallow nervously seeing Luo Yao’s natural naïve charm.

Her innocent, adorable demeanor was too disarming for them.

Luckily, everyone had good self-control and no ill intentions toward Luo Yao. At most, they treated her like a younger sister.

And honestly, having a sister like her didn’t seem too bad.

Lin Xiao observed all this and couldn’t help but purse his lips.

You ignorant humans are all deceived by her appearance.

If her second personality ever surfaced, you’d truly understand what a real witch is.

No, I have to find a chance to tell everyone the truth about Luo Yao.

They must not be fooled by her looks.

Zi Shu, as leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group, was the first to regain composure.

“All right, now that everyone’s full, it’s time to get down to business. Prepare to enter the secret realm. As usual, melee fighters will scout ahead first! Luo Yao and Hai Zhu, you two stay in the middle of the group. Chou Niu is responsible for protecting you both.”

Naturally, no one objected. Lin Xiao, however, felt a bit speechless.

Why do I have to be stuck with Luo Yao?

I’d rather keep my distance from her. Isn’t this a joke?

But he couldn’t find a reason to refuse, so he silently accepted the arrangement.

Luo Yao’s primary personality was introverted. Previously, she might not have objected to Zi Shu’s plan, but she would have felt uncomfortable inside.

Her introversion didn’t mean she wasn’t proud. Zi Shu’s arrangement was clearly meant to protect her.

Yet now, she felt completely at ease with it.

Hai Zhu cooked so well, but being of a lower level, he definitely needed protection.

Wasn’t she the best candidate for that?

Strangely, she felt a sense of familiarity with Hai Zhu, and sensed his gaze upon her was different from that of the other men.

“Well... Hai Zhu, I... I will protect you well!”

Lin Xiao: ?(??????)??

Protect me?

Are you misunderstanding something?

The best protection you can give me is to stay far away!

Of course, Lin Xiao couldn’t say this outright, only forcing a somewhat strained smile toward Luo Yao.

“Thank you very much.”

The Wolf Mercenary Group began entering the secret realm one after another. Lin Xiao and Luo Yao followed the team inside.

As soon as they entered, Lin Xiao immediately surveyed their surroundings.

No signs of battle—relatively safe.

About seven hundred meters ahead, a level-four giant silver snake was hidden, probably aware of their presence but not yet attacking.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao raised his sniper rifle from his back and fired a shot toward the giant silver snake.

They say to strike a snake’s vital point—the heart lies seven inches from its head.

Lin Xiao’s shot hit the giant silver snake’s heart precisely.

The giant silver snake never expected, despite hiding so well, to be discovered.

Lin Xiao’s ruthless tactic caught it completely off guard.

Though the snake’s life was ending, its body twisted reflexively.

Zi Shu and the others noticed the giant silver snake as well.

Lin Xiao’s gunshot had startled them earlier, and now seeing the writhing snake, they immediately went on high alert.

Hai Zhu, really? Couldn’t you have given us a heads-up?

Can we even have any fun anymore?
