The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

Feng Yanan was not going to let these snobs go this time. Who was he who provoked her first? So she pretended not to notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere around her. She still maintained her innocent attitude with a faint smile on her lips, as if the words that just caused an uproar were not from her mouth. Her bright eyes swept over the crowd, especially the men and women who cast resentful eyes at her, with a hint of imperceptible provocation and persistence in her eyes.

"Since everyone says they are satisfied and like it," she said softly but very clearly, with a barely perceptible firmness in her voice, "then why doesn't anyone pick up their chopsticks? I really like these dishes, so I couldn't help but start eating as soon as they were served. In my opinion, this is a sign of true satisfaction and true enjoyment."

Feng Yanan's words once again broke the silence of the scene. Her words were straightforward but reasonable, and could not be ignored. Her behavior seemed to be a silent protest against those "snobbish people" who only dared to express their dissatisfaction in their hearts but did not dare to show it. She expressed her dissatisfaction with hypocrisy and hypocrisy in her own way, and at the same time showed her true and unpretentious side.

When the people around heard this, some looked embarrassed, while others became even more angry. This silly woman, there is no end to it, right?

Although Lin Yuejiao had some complaints about Feng Yanan in her heart, at this moment, her reason prevailed. She looked at the exquisite but slightly strange food on the table, as well as the nervous expressions of the people around her who were at a loss, and she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"Why aren't you guys eating? Do you think these dishes are not to your liking?" As she spoke, her eyes swept across everyone's face.

However, everyone just exchanged looks with more fear, and no one dared to answer easily. They secretly complained in their hearts, not because the food was not to their taste, but because the style, ingredients and even cooking methods of these dishes were beyond their cognition. They were curious and afraid of these unknown "delicacies", fearing that they would make a fool of themselves or offend someone if they were not careful.

In fact, as early as when these unprecedented delicacies were slowly placed on the banquet table, the whole space seemed to be filled with a strange and mysterious atmosphere. These ingredients, in various shapes and colors, seemed to be messengers from the deep sea or distant foreign lands, bringing unknown secrets and stories.

Some of them are covered with hard armor-like shells, with strange patterns and luster on the surface, flickering an alluring glimmer under the candlelight; some have multiple legs, as intricate as ancient totems, and each leg seems to be telling an ancient legend. Their tentacles are long or short, some are as light as silk, and some are thick and powerful, as if exploring an unknown world in the air.

Everyone's eyes were already drawn to these strange creatures, with astonishment and curiosity written all over their faces. They had never seen creatures of this form, and couldn't imagine what it would be like to be in such an unknown realm. Some people stared with their eyes wide open, trying to find answers from every detail. But they were too embarrassed to say they had never seen it before, as that would make them look unworldly and lose face.

There was a tense and confused atmosphere in the air, and everyone was interpreting these mysterious ingredients in their own way, but no one dared to speak.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Feng Yanan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised a meaningful smile. She glanced around gently, as if to take in everyone's expression, and then slowly said: "Ms. Lin, can you let me guess why everyone is so reserved and unwilling to pick up their chopsticks?"

Lin Yuejiao had never taken Feng Yanan seriously, thinking that she was inferior to herself in every way and that it would be cheap to argue with her. But at this moment, she could not help but be attracted by her confidence. She thought to herself, "I want to see what she can guess." So, she pretended to be relaxed and responded, "Oh? Then tell me, I want to hear your opinion."

Feng Yanan smiled slightly, as if she had anticipated Lin Yuejiao's reaction. She opened her red lips slightly, with a tone of certainty and excitement: "These dishes are indeed hard to find in the prosperous capital. It seems that these are the delicacies that you, Miss Lin, brought from Yunzhou. They are really eye-catching!" Her words revealed her appreciation for Lin Yuejiao's meticulousness and her yearning for Yunzhou's food culture.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuejiao nodded slightly, with a hint of pride and relief in her eyes, as if touched by Feng Yanan's sharpness. She responded with a smile, motioning Feng Yanan to continue.

Seeing this, Feng Yanan continued to analyze in her calm tone: "In fact, these people don't dislike these delicacies of yours, Miss Lin, but because these dishes are too unfamiliar to them. They have never seen them before, so naturally they don't know how to pick up their chopsticks and how to taste them. This novelty and unknownness not only makes them curious, but also inevitably a little at a loss." Feng Yanan had long observed the expressions of the people when they first saw these foods. She had been here for so long and guessed that this Dongling Kingdom did not have these lobsters, crabs and other marine species. That's right, what is on the table today are these seafood that the ancients have never eaten or even seen. They don't know whether these "big bugs" with strange shapes and hard shells are really edible. It's not that there are really no such things, but the people here don't know that these can be eaten, so when they first saw these on the table, they couldn't accept them for a while, and they didn't dare to speak out because of Lin Taishi's status. At this time, they heard Feng Yanan guess their thoughts, and they were also very embarrassed. At the same time, they were relieved.

After listening to Feng Yanan's words, Lin Yuejiao frowned slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes. She was not someone who was easily convinced, especially when these words came from the mouth of the "fool" in the rumors, it was even more difficult for her to believe immediately. At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt whether the rumors were true. Since no one present had seen it, how could a fool like her know about it, and it seemed that she was particularly familiar with these seafood.

When Lin Yuejiao looked at everyone unwillingly, seeing the colorful expressions, what else did she not understand? However, she still maintained a skeptical attitude.

"Hmph, even if you say it in a fancy way, I don't believe you can really guess everyone's thoughts. There must be other reasons why these people don't eat." Zuo Xinyi beside her said in a cold tone. Just when Lin Yuejiao didn't know how to find a reason to refute, Zuo Xinyi's cold voice came. Lin Yuejiao then raised the corner of her mouth to show her agreement with Zuo Xinyi's words.
