Not long after, the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen. It sounded professional.

Even Ning Xiaoyue said in surprise, “Huh? Sister Alicia’s cutting skills sound pretty good!”

Yang Mi and the others nodded in agreement. It increased their expectation of the food.

Only Alice had a sneer on her face.

That girl was a violent maniac. Her swordsmanship was so good that she was the best among all the heroes under Li Xiang’s command. The swords and sabers were of the same category, so it was not worth mentioning that she could use the sabers well.

Moreover, Alicia would secretly practice her cutting skill during her break. It would be strange if her cutting skill were not good.

About half an hour later, a strange fragrance came from the kitchen.

“It should be ready soon, right?”

However, after waiting for another half an hour, the kitchen door finally opened.

Alicia pushed the door open and walked out. Her pretty face was blushed, and her eyes were glimmering. She smiled and said, “It’s done!”

Alicia was holding a silver tray with a lid on it. She looked serious and seemed to be serious.

When Yafei saw this scene, a strange feeling of anxiety struck her. She could not help but gulp. She was a little nervous.

Alicia placed the tray on the table. She looked at Yafei and said, “I made a dish called ‘Braised Pork Balls in Gravy Sauce’, but the ingredients are not enough, and the tools are not easy to use. It might look a little normal. However, the taste should be pretty good! If the lord had tasted it, he would treat it as a reward, not punishment!”

“Is… is that so?”

Yafei was pulled to a chair by Alice. The large circle of people around them was all Li Xiang’s heroes. Their gazes were filled with anticipation.

Only Alice immediately retreated far away, looking at the food warily.

/noticing so many people were not afraid, Alicia did not even take off the apron on her waist. She reached out and lifted the lid.

Immediately, a strong, strange smell spread out.

The odor struck the people close to the smell, making them feel dizzy. They took a few steps back before they regained consciousness.

But even so, they still felt weak all over. The pungent smell even almost made them cry. It was unbearable.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Alice was the one who knew her best friend the best. She retreated before Alicia lifted the lid.

The smell stimulated Yang Mi, and the other three made it difficult for them to breathe. They could even clearly feel their HP dropping. They were so scared that their faces turned pale.

Fortunately, they all had top-notch antidotes on them. They quickly swallowed them but had already retreated to the hall’s door. They even almost turned around and ran away.

Chen Shu’s face was slightly pale as she said, “Erm… we’ve seen the ingredients in the kitchen before. How did she make this thing? Could it be that she added highly toxic ingredients in it?”

Zhou Yutong patted her chest lightly and said, “I finally understand why Alice fought with Alicia last time. I didn’t even see the food, and I was almost poisoned to death. It’s unbelievable!”

Tong Qingya said with lingering fear, “Are you sure this is edible?”

Yang Mi, on the other hand, was the calmest one. While drinking the antidote, she said, “If we want to deal with the enemy in the future, ask Sister Alicia to cook a meal and send it over. We will be able to deal with the enemy without bloodshed.”

Mia, Kyla, Lys, Bresse, the other angels and demons, and even Zhao Sheng and the other human heroes looked shocked at the dining table.

Most importantly, they had retreated too late, and their bodies had become stiff.

Yafei, who was sitting at the dining table, was also dumbfounded.

Although the giant dragon’s resistance was extremely strong, it felt a little uncomfortable facing this plate of food.

At this moment, everyone could see the food on the plate.

Alicia had piled up four lumps of light pink color meat on the plate, which had no shape of a ball.

She chopped the meat into tiny pieces, making it look like powder.

No one knew what seasoning she had added, but this dish was faintly shining again.

Alicia looked at her masterpiece, and a confident smile flashed across her eyes.

But when she saw everyone’s reaction, her face turned gloomy.

“These guys are unqualified to taste my delicacies!” Alicia thought.

“Yafei, hurry up and eat! Try my cooking. You won’t regret it. I have considered the taste of dragons in this meal. It’s delicious!”

Yafei’s beautiful face squeezed out a stiff smile. Looking at the people around them who looked like they were in a place filled with poisonous gas, she couldn’t help but wail in her heart.

“Is this cooking or poisoning? No wonder the ruler said that this was a punishment. I thought this punishment was light, but now it seems I’m still naive.”

However, she was confident in her dragon’s physique. It was better to end this pain quickly. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, picked up the plate, and poured it into her mouth. She didn’t even chew it before it went into her stomach.

“Okay, mission accomplished!”

Yafei almost didn’t notice the dish’s taste and finished it all. A relaxed smile immediately appeared on her face.

She had decided that she would be able to bear any punishment in the future, except for eating Alicia’s dinner.

Maybe one day, Alicia’s food might even kill her.

Alicia looked at Yafei in a daze, disappointed by her reaction.

She spent an hour making the delicious food, but Yafei did not even taste it carefully. It was a waste eating it like that.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Yafei’s expression suddenly change. She reached out and covered her stomach. Then, she looked at Alicia in disbelief and disappeared in a flash.

No one knew what was going on. Only Alice’s eyes flashed with a hint of schadenfreude.

“Alicia, the dish you made this time looks a little better than the one you made last time. But it’s only a little bit.”

Alice raised her little finger and pinched her thumb, showing her approval of Alicia’s cooking skills.

Alicia looked at her expressionlessly and said indifferently, “We’re not on the same level anymore!”

Alicia’s arrogant behavior annoyed Alice, and she almost fought with Alicia again.

Suddenly, an earth-shaking feeling came from the ground.

“What’s going on? What’s going on?”

Everyone came out one after another.

Yang Mi and the others were still fine. The poison was not deep, and they had taken the antidote in time. Their status had almost recovered.

However, the other heroes were all stiff with pale faces and staggering steps. They looked like human elders in their 80s and 90s.
