398 An sOuchs (2/2)

The materials used to make these dishes did not look inferior to the gigantic black scorpions, but why were their nutritional value so low?

Was it a problem with the chef's handling?

Or were the materials used by the Infernal domain only deceptively good?

The palace maids noticed that the Infernal King was constantly testing the food, but his expression was turning ugly. They immediately lowered their heads as their hands trembled. They thought that the food was too unpalatable that in his rage, not only would the chef suffer, even they as palace maids would suffer his wrath.

However, when the silver-haired girl saw Shi Xiaobai's expression, her smile became even sweeter. It had to be Shi Xiaobai being extremely meticulous and serious in his selection for him to be so picky, instead of being perfunctory. This made her very happy.

However, was none of the food really tasty?

The silver-haired girl was somewhat puzzled. The fragrance from the food was very enticing.

Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up slightly.

”It's this!”

Shi Xiaobai pointed with his finger. He had just taken a mouthful of the the Honey-glazed Steak.

The steak's nutritional value was only eight points, but it was outstanding compared to the pile of food that was lower than three points!

Shi Xiaobai was relieved. Thankfully, not all the hundred dishes were junk food. The Honey-glazed steak's nutritional value was pretty good, and its flavor did not lose out to the other dishes. So this shall be it!

Shi Xiaobai had taken a long time to pick the food, and finally chose this dish after testing dozens of dishes, so the silver-haired girl did not hesitate at all. She immediately reached out with her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of steak. She placed it in her mouth with great anticipation and eagerly began to chew.

The silver-haired girl had been famished since a long time ago. She squinted her eyes, making her look like a kitten that was enjoying its food.

However, after a few bites, the silver-haired girl's expression changed drastically.

”Ouch!”

The silver-haired girl cried out in pain as she spat out a half-chewed piece of meat. Inside the meat, there was a black bead that resembled a peach's core.

It was obvious that the hard black pearl had caused pain to the silver-haired girl, causing her to involuntarily cry out in pain.

Wait?

She cried out in pain?

Wasn't the silver-haired girl a mute?

Shi Xiaobai immediately looked at the silver-haired girl in surprise.

At that moment, Shi Xiaobai suddenly felt an invisible energy surge from every direction, as though he was being surrounded by hard boulders. It felt like that they would crush him, so with a change of expression, Shi Xiaobai immediately circulated his psionic power to resist the energy.

At the same time, several screams sounded almost simultaneously. Several palace maids fell into a black rift that suddenly opened and without any resistance, they vanished.

As for the table that was covered with food, it disintegrated as food splattered onto the floor.

The silver-haired girl hurriedly covered her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes.

...IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
