Chapter 197 - 168.2 : Food Thief (1/2)

As Arthur continued eating, Cold Sword sat in front of him, her eyes were glued to the several dishes spread out on the table. She still had an expressionless face but was obvious that she was interested in tasting them.

Actually, Jian Si may have followed the path of the murdering sword, however, it doesn't me that she cut off all her human emotions. In fact, she was extremely fond of eating delicious dishes. She would always travel around and taste everything that she couldn't recognize. This habit has become too extreme as she would also taste unique fruits that she found in secret places and she almost died due to this strong urge to taste them.

Although those were dangerous actions, her constitution benefited greatly as her body became more and more immune to poisonous plants and evil Energy.

After enjoying the good view in front of her. She glanced at the waiter who didn't get too close to her and said with a cold and inpatient voice

”One ball of rice.”

The waiter didn't dare to linger there and hastily left to prepare the order. Eventually, a small ball of white rice which contained an insignificant amount of Nether Energy was presented in front of her and in just two gulps, she finished it but from her deep frown, it was obvious that she wasn't the least bit satisfied.

Her eyes went back to the several dishes in front of her and that only added to her hunger. A person of her status would surely have a big fortune, however, due to some unfortunate events, on her way here she encountered a dangerous beast and almost ended up losing her life. Although she survived, she lost her ring and didn't bother looking for it.

The ring had a lot of life-saving treasures and a lot of Spirit Stones but for her, only her sword mattered so she didn't think much about it until now that is.

As the saying goes 'there is no medicine for regret'.

As carefree as ever, Arthur savored his dishes until only a few were left and his appetite was almost full. Just when he was about to grab a huge roasted leg of an unknown beast, a slender white hand was faster than him as it grabbed the fat piece of meat and was about to devour it.

Although she was a step before him that didn't stop Arthur from instantaneously grabbing the meat from her retrieving hand in a flash and taking a huge bite whilst saying

”Hands off! What are you thinking? To try and rob my food in broad daylight! Shameless...”

His sudden outburst scared the guests and they all had a gaping mouth and surprised eyes.

”H-he's crazy!!”

”Oh dear! He's provoking her, this is bad.....”

”It's a shame... he's so young yet his ignorance led him to his death! There's no escaping from an angry Cold Sword!”

Some lamented about his behavior that will lead to trouble and others enjoyed seeing his demise.

”What did you say?”

She coldly glared at him and retorted, from her tone it was clear that she was angry.

”What? Am I speaking an unknown language or are you deaf?”

Arthur then pointed at his food then did an 'X' mark with his fingers, then he pointed at the food then at himself, as if he was explaining to a deaf person. His action only added oil to the fire as the chilling aura of Jian Si increased, her eyes were like daggers, prepared to slice him into countless pieces.

Arthur continued eating whilst throwing a couple of glances at her as if he was afraid she would try to steal again. He even brought the dishes closer to him.

Cold Sword remained silent, she kept glaring at him and after some time, she managed to calm down and speak again.

”I,I just wanted to taste it.”

With a half roasted leg in his mouth, Arthur looked at her and sarcastically said

”Ha! Does it look like I'm running a charity here? If you want to taste something then order it! I'm not distributing dishes to others neither am I kind enough to give you my precious, hard-earned food!”
