"Hey! Watch it!"
"Heh! You didn't watch it! That's why you are running your mouth here pointlessly!"
"What the hell are you saying?"
"Did none of you see that woman properly?"
"Huh? Why?"
"That's why. That woman was…" A look of infatuation appeared on the player's face as he remembered that person and he stopped talking.
"What about that woman? She is a NPC?"
The player who was about to describe Shen Yue in detail suddenly stopped. "Oh. You are right! She should be an NPC! Only 2 D characters can be so beautiful. She was like a fairy."
"Oh? She was really that good looking?"
"Huh? I am inclined to not believe you but if what you are saying is true, then we should go look for her. Maybe she has some special quests?"
The group of players all started following the royal guard and Shen Yue.
It didn't take long for Shen Yue to feel the several pairs of eyes trailing behind her and she started feeling uncomfortable. Noticing this, the royal guard frowned.
He didn't even bother waiting for Shen Yue to say something and directly turned around to unsheathe his sword. "What is happening here?" His voice loudly bellowed.
All the players looked utterly shocked.
Weren't they just simply walking around? How did they anger this NPC?
And moreover, the man was not just angry, he was actually radiating killing intent and his eyes glared at them like a prowling tiger eyeing its prey.
Just what the heck was happening here?
Even Shen Yue became alarmed. She also did not know if the guard had suddenly gone crazy. Earlier as well he had acted abnormally.
So she inched back slowly and stepped away, not wanting to involve herself with this situation any longer.
They were also almost at the cooking hall and she could see a lot of people sitting beside pots and bonfires and struggling to make something without the modern appliances available in the kitchen.
The entire place was filled with smoke and different smells permeated the air.
Shen Yue coughed slightly and caught Mei Mei's silhouette in the back of the hall. "Oh, there she is."
She turned to see that the guard was still busy, yelling at the group of players and ran away quietly. Whatever happened to them, it had nothing to do with her.
"Hey Mei Mei." She called out and walked closer to the young girl.
"Ah. Sis Yue, you are already back?" She did not turn around and was busily stirring a pot.
"Wow. You are so busy. No wonder you didn't have any time to answer my call." Shen Yue chuckled and stood beside her.
As she was now closer and observed everything in detail, she couldn't help but be shocked.
This place did not look like a kitchen from any angle. Instead, it looked like a battlefield.
Besides her station, there were several pots and pans, each with an appearance more terrifying than the other.
They were broken, charred, had holes within them and some were even cracked in half, with a line running at the exact dead center.
Shen Yue was baffled. "Just how on earth did you manage to do so much damage?"
