Chapter 305 (1/2)

Ye Zhiqing (2)

The most peculiar of the bunch was Zhen Xiaoyan. While she was eating very quickly, she looked good doing it. Some would say it was mesmerizing watching her eat.

It was as if she stood out from the crowd only when she ate, as if she graced this earth just to eat.

Compared to her, the three of them were eating very slowly. However, that was relative to her. Compared to regular people, they were definitely not slow.

Ye Lang had never been slow to eat, while Ye Lanyu and the seventh princes were naturally eating faster due to Zhen Xiaoyan’s presence. If they weren’t quick enough, they felt like she would eat up their portion too.

Zhen Xiaoyan would never eat Ye Lang’s portion. As for the rest, well, she didn’t stop to consider.

“...” Very soon, Arwen noticed something was wrong. Staring at the food, she was no longer worried about finishing the food but rather worried that if she didn’t pick up her pace she wouldn’t have the chance to eat at all.

And soon, she was eating very quickly too.

She wasn’t like the rest, who ate like aristocrats. She was just a regular commoner, and she had just experienced a bout of famine. She knew how precious food was.

In the end, Arwen was right because they had finished the portion of food meant for more than ten people. Other than the little bit of food left in front of Ye Lang, the rest of the dishes were empty- most of it was settled by one person, Zhen Xiaoyan.

Arwen peered curiously at Zhen Xiaoyan. She couldn’t understand how Zhen Xiaoyan, with her small body, could fit so much food. Where did the food go? Why was her figure still so small?

She would never know how big Zhen Xiaoyan used to be. The difference was like the sky and the earth!

Arwen didn’t touch the food in front of Ye Lang. She didn’t want to take his food. It was the same for Zhen Xiaoyan, Ye Lanyu and the princess.

Right now, all four of them were watching Ye Lang eat.

“Burp… I’m so full… I haven’t eaten like this in so long…” after inhaling his food, he patted his stomach then got up to leave.

He was still the same, he liked taking a walk after food. Everyone present knew he would leave immediately after food, and was prepared for it.

Arwen watched as Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess followed Ye Lang out, while Zhen Xiaoyan stayed behind to clean up. She initially wanted to help, but what surprised her was that Xiaoyan didn’t need her help at all.

She watched as Xiaoyan take out something like a leather pouch and poured the leftovers into it. Then, she drew an alchemy formation on the table using magic and activated it.

After it glowed, the table and the plates and utensils on it all became sparkling clean. They had been cleansed by the alchemy formation!

Looks like she was an alchemist too, like sir! It was very practical of her to use her alchemy skills here.
