YM778.TV Chapter 197
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!"
Arthur’s behavior is drastically different from his real one is due to possessing a new body so it doesn’t matter how he acts and also because he felt like teasing her and see what she’ll do . He wasn’t afraid of her and neither did he fear the consequences of his current attitude . Moreover, it was her fault for trying to steal his food .
Of course, he can give her all of the food and still order but she tried to rob before even asking for his permission so he changed his idea about giving her some .
First, he felt a bit of pity when she saw her longing look towards the food, but it didn’t even a couple of minutes before he changed his opinion about her .
The calm Jian Si once again became infuriated but she didn’t dare cause a big ruckus . She restrained herself and added
"I don’t have enough money on me right now . Let me taste some and I’ll owe a favor . "
The crowd was even more surprised as they heard this . They didn’t think it’ll turn out like this, they had long since heard of Jian Si’s love for food but they didn’t know it was to the degree that she’ll accept such humiliation just to get a bite . She even told him that she’ll owe him a favor .
One has to know that having a character like her owe you a favor is a big matter . Her future is limitless and she is bound to become a strong and influential figure in the near future so her owing a favor to him is like having a heaven’s blessing . People like her would never go back on their words and their favors are worth gold!
With food in his mouth, the young man stared at her as if he was staring at a dumb person and said
"No money? Bah! What about that pretty sword you have there? It’s surely worth enough for you to fill your stomach!"
Cold Sword did indeed have a sword on her back . She wrapped it in a black cloth and always wore it on her back to increase her intimacy with it . In fact, all sword practicers would usually do that as it sharpens their Sword Energy .
Jian Si felt conflicted and angry, she always was feared by most people and none dared to talk to her like that for fear of being killed, so when she was bombarded like this, she couldn’t find the right words to retort, however, it was evident that with her arrogant nature, she can’t swallow this humiliation .
"Hmpf! I’ll owe you a favor so no need to be stingy with a bit of food!"
Just as she finished talking, her hands grabbed another piece of meat and threw it in her mouth without waiting for a reply from the young man .
Unfortunately, she couldn’t even enjoy the meat as the food disappeared again and appeared in his hands again . He stared at her with disgust and spoke
"Bah! I don’t need your favor . You can dream about eating my food!"
Having the piece of meat ’stolen’ from her again enraged her even further as she stood up and glared at him angrily, she was ready to pounce on him in any given second .
The young man leisurely finished all the dishes under her piercing glare and licked his fingers whilst saying
"What? You’re angry because you didn’t get to taste it? So what! Bite me!"
With that, Arthur put a few Red Spirit Stones on the table and sat up to leave, totally ignoring Jian Si .
All the onlookers were astonished by his overbearing attitude . No one has ever dared to talk to Cold Sword like that and even if they did, they were already killed by her without mercy .
They all knew that this young man is dead for sure after what he said, there is no escaping this time even if he had ten lives!
Without minding the gazes of the crowd, Arthur left the restaurant and didn’t bother with the girl who was still staring at him with eyes full of anger .
Cold Sword didn’t linger there either, she soon left the restaurant right after he did . Once she left, the guests relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, although they weren’t directly confronting her, they still felt fearful . Some even felt admiration for Arthur, who had enough courage to talk back to her like that .
******
To all of you who are thinking if he is always gonna behave like that, I’ll say no, it’ll only happen sometimes to lighten the mood or if he is acting purposely to fit his character or maybe to fool others . Don’t forget, he’s not using his real appearance so he can act however he sees fit .
