Chapter 2850

Meanwhile, the six of them had long been waiting impatiently at the dining table in the front hall; primarily the five Emperor-level star bandits, who were swallowing their saliva again and again, looking as if they were about to swallow their own tongues.

The middle-aged man, however, was relatively calm; he was just depressed, wondering how things could have developed into this state.

Now that he had the time, the middle-aged man carefully combed through the sequence of events.

Originally, he had intended to plunder the Haotu World, as they were nearly out of food.

But upon arriving in this world, before they could even take action, they were inexplicably being directed by a star bandit.

Then, they encountered these five Emperor-level star bandits before him, and afterward, they inexplicably ended up cooperating with the Dao One Sacred Land.

In any case, throughout the entire process, as things had developed to this point, he was completely bewildered.

Just as the middle-aged man was secretly pondering, suddenly a fragrance drifted into his nose, followed by the sound of chewing.

Huh???

Coming back to his senses, he saw that the five Emperor-level star bandits at the table were already each clutching a large bowl of rice, heads down, eating ravenously.

Seeing his gaze upon them, one of them said indistinctly.

"Don't be polite, Dao Brother. Eat, eat quickly."

"That's right, that's right. We're actually basking in your glory for this meal today."

"Yes, yes, yes. Don't be polite; we're all brothers here. Eat quickly."

Huh???

Listening to the five men's words, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, but for a moment, he actually didn't know what to say.

What the hell is this situation? Which eye of yours saw me being polite?

I just didn't pay attention for a second, and you all started eating without even a greeting?

And you even know that this meal is basking in my glory.

Originally, I had no thoughts about this meal; with my Emperor-level cultivation, I have long since practiced Grain Bigu, and what good things have I not eaten over these years?

But now, smelling that alluring fragrance and seeing the "heroic" eating manners of the five Emperor-level star bandits—each of them looking like a reincarnated starving ghost—

This middle-aged man, without realizing it, couldn't help but swallow his own saliva.

However, it was just because of this moment of distraction that the dishes on the table had already hit the bottom.

There were only three dishes and one soup to begin with, and with five beasts present, it naturally vanished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man panicked slightly, hurriedly picked up his rice bowl, and shouted.

"Leave some for me! This meal is my..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air, because the food was already gone.

Well, it couldn't be said to be completely gone; there was still one strand left of each dish.

For instance, the shredded potatoes—just one strand; and the shredded pork with green peppers—one strand of meat and one strand of green pepper remained.

The most outrageous part was the eggplant with minced meat; what the hell, there was only a grain-of-rice-sized piece of meat left?

The five Emperor-level powerhouses patted their bellies comfortably and, seeing the stunned middle-aged man, all five laughed.

"Eat up, Dao Brother. Don't just stand there."

"Rest assured, Dao Brother, we know the rules. We're basking in your glory for this meal, so we've left some for you."

Listening to these words, which had reached the pinnacle of shamelessness, the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, and his scalp went numb.

How the hell can you say such shameless things without blushing or your heart racing?

You call this knowing the rules? The food you left behind probably wouldn't even be enough to feed a mouse.

But since it was already eaten, what else could he do?

The middle-aged man could only tearfully pick up that strand of potato and slowly place it into his mouth.

After biting down lightly, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately went round.

"This taste..."

Just as he opened his mouth, that strand of potato slipped into his stomach before he could pay attention.

It seemed he had tasted the flavor, but it also seemed he had tasted nothing at all.

Next were the green pepper strand and the meat strand; it was the same feeling, and he didn't even dare to bite down hard.

But even though he was careful, ever so careful, he still hadn't managed to properly taste the flavor.

Three plates of food, and the middle-aged man had tasted nothing; finally, he gritted his teeth and finished a bowl of white rice, looking with a face full of resentment at the five Emperor-level star bandits at the table.

He now understood the meaning of what Ye Changqing had said earlier.

It turned out he had been tricked into a limp by this person from the very beginning.

The taste of this food was simply superb.

He could also seem to understand why these star bandits would risk their lives for this meal.

Looking at the five Emperor-level star bandits with an incomparably resentful gaze, he said gloomily.

"You knew it all along, didn't you? You teamed up to trick me?"

"Don't be angry, Dao Brother. Aren't we just too greedy?"

"Rest assured, Dao Brother. You are already cooperating with the Dao One Sacred Land now; as long as you obtain the Heavenly Dao Luck, are you afraid of having nothing to eat in the future?"

"That's right, Dao Brother. Let's join forces and just go plunder another world."

What the five of them did was indeed not very honorable, but the problem was, we are star bandits; we were never honorable people to begin with.

Yet, facing the middle-aged man's resentful gaze, the five still invited him to join forces and pull off a wave of Heavenly Dao Luck.

Then they could just have another meal and be done with it.

Facing the invitation of the five, the middle-aged man felt moved and, without much hesitation, nodded in agreement.

"Fine."

He hadn't managed to properly taste that flavor just now; he would absolutely be unwilling to let it go without eating it one more time.

Just having eaten some leftovers made the middle-aged man feel anxious.

"Good, good. Easy to say, easy to say. If there's food, we'll eat together."

"Right, right, right."

"Since we've finished eating, let's not delay. Shall we set off immediately?"

Having just finished eating, the five Emperor-level star bandits started getting greedy again, already thinking about the next meal and not wanting to waste time.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man had no objections, and the six of them left immediately, preparing to set off for the next world.

After the six of them left, Shi Song and Chen Mang came to clear the table, and Chen Mang said casually.

"This is the first time I've seen someone willing to share Elder Ye's food with others."

"This guy is a real piece of work." ===== CHAPTER 2851 =====
