After Xue Fanxin bandaged Ye Jiushang’s wound, she brought him over to eat with everyone.

They all had taken seats around the dining table, sensibly leaving the main seats empty. When they saw that Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang had come, they immediately stood up, especially Zhuri and Fuyun. The two of them were even a little panicked. Among everyone, only Gu Jinyuan and Little Lei were calm. They only stood up to express their politeness and did not mean anything else.

“Master, you’re finally here. If you had not come, I really would have started eating.” Little Lei’s mind was filled with food. Had it been someone else, even the emperor, he would not have waited so obediently. He would have started eating long ago.

If his master found out that he ate first, he would be displeased with him again.

Sigh… He had no choice. After all, he had a powerful and unreasonable master.

Ye Jiushang walked over leisurely. He saw a table of sumptuous dishes with two steaming pots on it. Then, he noticed the neatly arranged cutlery and the group of ‘cute’ people. He suddenly felt that this scene was beautiful, improving his mood a lot.

“Everyone, sit down. There’s no need to be so polite.” Although Ye Jiushang said that, everyone waited for him to sit down before doing the same.

Xue Fanxin was speechless. She really did not understand why everyone was so afraid of Ye Jiushang; she really did not feel anything.

Ah Jiu’s aura was just a little stronger, a little more powerful, a little more domineering… It seemed like nothing.

To Xue Fanxin, Ye Jiushang was indeed nothing scary. She did not feel any pressure when she interacted with him, but to others, he had an inherent kingly aura. Even if he just stood there and smiled, it would make people afraid.

This kind of natural-born ruler made people involuntarily revere him.

“Alright, everyone sit down. Before we eat, I have some things to take note of.” Xue Fanxin picked up her chopsticks and pointed at the two pots on the table. “Because I don’t know your preferences, and coupled with the injuries on Ah Jiu and Ah Wei, you two can’t eat the spicy pot. If you want to eat, eat the other one. This was originally called the Mandarin Duck Hotpot, but unfortunately, I don’t have a Mandarin Duck Pot, so I can only deal with it this way.”

“Mandarin Duck pot? What’s that?” Ye Jiushang’s curiosity was piqued.

“To put it bluntly, it’s to divide a pot into two parts. The soup on one side is spicy, and the other is normal. You can eat whatever you want.”

“I’ll make you one later.”

“We’ll talk about that later. Look, everyone is hungry. Let’s eat first.” Xue Fanxin could tell that everyone was waiting to eat, so she did not say much. However, before eating, she placed the two bowls of soup in front of Gu Jinyuan and Ah Wei respectively and emphasized, “The two of you have been hungry for a long time, and your stomach is very weak. Eating such miscellaneous food immediately is not good for your stomach. Drink some stomach warming soup first to moisten it before eating anything else.”

Seeing Xue Fanxin care about others so much, Ye Jiushang got jealous.

Forget it. He wouldn’t argue with two people who were about to starve to death.

“Alright, everyone, let’s eat. I’ll teach you how to eat hotpot.” Xue Fanxin returned to her seat after giving the soup to Gu Jinyuan and Ah Wei, then picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.

Unexpectedly, a clamor came from outside.

“Can you smell it? The fragrance seems to be coming from here.”

“It smells so good! I think I smell roasted rabbit.”

“I smell it too. It smells there’s like other meat too.”
