Chapter 415: Chapter 220: It Was Clearly Me First... (6k)_2

Noticing Bai Yi’s gaze darting over, she quickly corrected herself with a strong survival instinct, thinking to herself that this loli with such a huge contrast between appearance and personality was indeed terrifying.

Just being glanced at made her feel like she was about to reach the end of her life in the next second.

This was a warning from her ability, a perception belonging to the attribute of luck regarding destiny.

However, she felt this was most likely the stereotype brought to her by those Beastmen outside.

After all, when she first arrived here, she was shocked for a long time upon discovering that the owner of those robust Beastmen was actually a loli with a completely opposite style.

Even though that aura of amiability constantly infected her, she couldn’t help but unconsciously adopt the impression of those Beastmen.

"I’m waiting."

After Bai Yi replied, the room suddenly fell into silence.

This situation had already occurred many times during this period.

Ellie said she was reporting upward and waiting for instructions, but in reality, there was no need to leave; she just needed to wait for her mission panel to update.

And with no reason to leave, under the pressure of Bai Yi, she didn’t even dare to move a muscle.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment...

But this time, Bai Yi was determined to change that!

"Ellie, right..."

"Ah, ah? Ah!

Yes! If there are any instructions, I’ll definitely convey them to you!"

Seeing Ellie, seemingly not expecting to be called upon, froze and then bounced up as if with a reflex, performing a salute from who knows where.

Bai Yi couldn’t help but think to herself how her creature affinity seemed to have failed, as she hadn’t even moved against her, just teased her verbally, yet she seemed to view her as some Demon King.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m not going to eat you...

I mean, it’s getting late; do you want to stay for dinner?

I’ll cook myself!"

"Ah, ah?"

Ellie also didn’t expect Bai Yi to be so down to earth. She blamed her own excessive nervousness earlier, almost mistaking it as Bai Yi wanting to make her dinner, using her as the main course.

She was ready to argue her innocence before realizing it was just an invitation to stay over for dinner. Thankfully, she didn’t instinctively blurt out a plea for mercy, or she would have embarrassed herself again.

Eh? Why say "again"?

Though it had to be blamed on that earlier atmosphere; she never imagined Bai Yi would suddenly propose such a minor thing like staying for dinner out of the blue.

After all, with Bai Yi’s status, still the advantageous side in the negotiation, she should’ve... she should’ve...

In short, she really shouldn’t say something so down-to-earth, right!

Given that previous atmosphere, even if she actually meant to use her as a side dish, it wouldn’t have felt the least out of place to her.

What was it but just having a meal? Even if her skills were lacking, she was still a 5th tier Contractor, surely not enough to get poisoned to death?

On the minor matter of having a meal, she successfully regained the courage she had when she voluntarily came to surrender.

Moreover, this immediately refreshed her impression of Bai Yi greatly. She didn’t expect that this Lord wasn’t so scary after all...

But fortunately, even though she was getting carried away inside, Ellie remembered the current situation and ended her mental brainstorming, turning to agree with her most perfect smile.

"Of course, happy to."

Bai Yi was secretly delighted, patting her chest with assurance before hastily leaving the room.

Seeing someone finally willing to taste her cooking after so long, she was determined to showcase her "skills" perfectly!

During this period, after entering this abnormal instance, the witches went off to do research, and there was absolutely no one good at cooking.

The Beastmen were out of the question, and this world itself was teeming with abnormalities, unlike the resource-rich side of the empire, making it hard to even find a local chef.

It led to Bai Yi having to take matters into her own hands to live comfortably.

Having tried a couple of days, she was confident about her culinary skills!

Definitely won’t kill anyone from eating!

Well... at least she was fine after eating...

This Ellie was at least a 5th tier, should, maybe, probably, possibly be okay too...

With motivation, Bai Yi didn’t take long before presenting several different dishes under Ellie’s expectant gaze, with both meat and vegetables, at least looking very appetizing.

But when Ellie really focused on them, her expression froze.

Just a couple of glances, and she saw no fewer than ten negative effects among these dishes.

Right now, she desperately wished she hadn’t opened the panel to check these dishes’ attributes; at least then she could persuade herself to "judge the food by appearance."

Having seen the "truth" of these dishes, she really couldn’t ignore it.

This, this really wouldn’t poison someone?

"Come on, try them out!"

Seeing Bai Yi’s eagerly anticipating look, Ellie felt that the most terrifying devil was nothing more than this, and she initiated a request to retract the words she had uttered over ten minutes ago.

This wasn’t a dinner invitation; it was practically a death warrant!

Yet, with the current situation being stronger than herself, she had no choice but to eat.

"Okay, okay!"

Swallowing her saliva mixed with fear and anxiety, Ellie decided to leave herself to fate, picking a dish with her intuition and trying it.

She didn’t even chew carefully, swallowing it right away, enduring six negative effects from the panel, barely squeezing out a smile.

"It’s, it’s alright!"

"Great! Now try this one! And this one too!

I’m telling you, these are what I chose as the tastiest parts from the abnormalities the Beastmen captured!

It’s also partly because this world lacks quality ingredients, so I had to make do with abnormalities..."
