Just then, she saw Chen Qing nonchalantly take an oil-paper package from his satchel. He opened it to reveal tempting, glistening pieces of Exotic Beast Jerky—a special treat Perilla had prepared for him before he left the Sect.
Chen Qing picked up a piece of the jerky and began chewing it slowly.
"You damned thief!"
Qi Yu watched Chen Qing relish his food. Comparing it to the flavorless hardtack in her own hands, which tasted like chewing wax, a nameless rage surged through her. Her eyes practically shot fire.
She gritted her teeth and cursed him inwardly, 'Damned thief! Vile fiend!'
The problem was that her Cultivation was sealed, making her no different from an ordinary person. With no way to vent the fury consuming her, all she could do was glare daggers at Chen Qing.
Chen Qing felt her murderous gaze, glanced sideways at her, and spoke in a flat, even tone, "It seems you're quite displeased with me?"
