Chapter 149: Metamorphosis

So, whether it's for the future, profit, fame, or beauty.

The contradictions between Sijing Longtai and Qian Chen are absolutely irreconcilable.

Unless one party bows its head like a lost dog and takes the initiative to withdraw.

Is this possible?

Apparently impossible.

What's more, Sijing Longtai is by no means comparable to Qian Chen's previous opponents, and his personality is extremely meticulous.

Before openly firing at Qian Chen, he had already ordered someone to investigate Qian Chen's life history in detail, confirming that he was neither a descendant of the culinary family of the Celestial Empire, nor a shadow sent by the culinary world of the Celestial Empire.

It's just a poor creature lucky enough to break into the chess game.

What's more, the U.S. government, which is secretly friendly with the Shitsui family, has made a promise that it is willing to resist the pressure from the Celestial Empire for him.

However, this is just a double insurance, and it may not be used.

The reason is very simple, Qian Chen's background is not noble, and the Celestial Empire cuisine may not attack Japan for an irrelevant person like him, not to mention the support of the United States behind him.

After eliminating all uncertainties, Mitsui Ryutai was ready to go directly to Qian Chen.

Before the trial began, he signaled his subordinates to secretly contact the candidates who participated in the trial.

Gather the candidates, prepare to unite to snipe Qian Chen, let him lose his reputation, and quit in embarrassment.

Before the trial began, Qian Chen's difficulty had suddenly increased to the hell level!

While the outside world is turning upside down, while the wind and rain are coming, the heroine Erina Nagikiri, who was the original cause of the incident, seems to have disappeared, not only did she push away all the tastings and entertainment, but even Yuanyue's class escaped.

The Far Moon Tea Bowl is located in the most beautiful and deepest Nagi Mansion.

It is a huge European-style Western-style mansion with precious flowers in front of the house, and a small fountain in the middle of the door. The courtyard, designed by a well-known architect, is full of classical aristocratic elegance and elegance.

Erina's chief secretary, Miss Shinto Sakako, didn't appreciate the beauty at all.

She knocked on the door of the mansion, then hurried upstairs to the door of a room.

I saw a silver tray at the door of the room, on which were placed several plates of exquisite dishes and desserts.

However, there was not a hint of heat above them, and the plump bread had dried up, apparently having been sitting here for a long time.

Looking at this scene, Scarlet Shazi's face showed a hint of worry.

"Didn't you eat again?"

After a moment's hesitation, a hint of determination appeared on her face, and then she knocked on the door vigorously.

"Erina-sama! Miss Erina! It's me, Crimson Sand!

I know you're feeling bad, but please don't torture your body! ”

Knocking echoed in the empty hallway, but the door never opened.

The bright crystal chandelier is installed above the corridor, and the floor is covered with a soft, warm carpet.

But Scarlet Sand's heart was like being beaten into a cold and biting abyss, cold, dark, and helpless.

"Erina-sama! I know you're in there! Let me in! Just for a while! ”

"Scarlet sand."

Just then, Senzaemon appeared in the corridor and stopped her.

Scarlet Sand tried to adjust her mood, but her eye circles still couldn't help but turn red.

"Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency! Erina-sama she... ”

Senzaemon stretched out his palm and stopped her words.

"Scarlet, your loyalty to Erina has made the old man deeply gratified, but now Erina can only stand up on her own."

"But..."

The scarlet sand wanted to speak and stopped.

"It's the fate of being a chef! If she can't stand up on her own and face this failure, then she will be a failure for the rest of her life, even if she has a talent that ordinary people can't match! ”

"But Miss Erina hasn't eaten or drunk for three days and three nights! If she goes on like this, her body will collapse! ”

Scarlet Sand couldn't hold back any longer, and argued with reason.

The expression on Senzaemon's face didn't change at all, and even because of the light hitting his face, half of the shadow formed made his expression look extremely cold.

"With her physical fitness, even if she doesn't eat or drink for 7 days, there is no problem."

Senzaemon's words were like a bucket of ice water pouring down from the top of the scarlet sand, making her cold from head to toe.

She found the commander-in-chief in front of her very unfamiliar.

Perhaps, this is the true face of the Ogre?

What makes her feel even more sad and desperate is that at such a moment, even the people closest to Miss Erina choose to watch indifferently.

"This, this is just too cruel."

Scarlet Shazi couldn't help but show a look of despair, and the whole person seemed to have lost all his strength, and slowly slipped and sat on the ground.

Senzaemon walked over and looked at her condescendingly, his tone was still so cold, like His Majesty the Demon King who ruled the lives of countless living beings.

"What Yuanyue needs is a cold and tough queen, not a little girl who can be knocked down by a single blow."

After saying that, he stepped over the scarlet sand, without looking back, and walked straight forward, leaving only his eyes out of focus, like the scarlet sand that had lost his lifelong faith sitting on the ground.

At this time, the room was pitch black, and I could only vaguely see a figure on the bed with his hands on his knees.

Erina sat there like a stone sculpture, still wearing the clothes she had worn three days ago.

Her face was haggard, her lips were dry and cracked, her eyes were faintly purple-black, her originally beautiful blonde hair seemed to be covered with a faint layer of gray, and a handful of Liuhai in the middle even turned directly gray-white.

Countless details show that not only did she not eat or drink for three days, but she also didn't even sleep, so she sat like this for three days and three nights.

The movement outside the door did not make her move in the slightest, as if her body was still breathing, but her soul had already drifted away, and she was a walking corpse at this moment.

After a long time, the sound outside the door disappeared again.

Erina moved.

Those violet eyes, which once sparkled with nobility, now glowed with a cold black light.

I saw her slowly pick up the phone, and then found a phone number from the corner of the address book that she had vowed never to call for the rest of her life.

Honk! Honk!

A few times later, a voice rang with a hint of mockery in its coldness.

"Erina, it's really strange that you actually thought of calling your father."

That's when Erina spoke.

There was a hint of indifference in her hoarse voice, and a dark flame burned in her eyes.

"How can I win against that man?"

After a long time, Erina, who hung up, slowly walked out of bed, and the light outside the window shone in, stretching the shadow behind her infinitely, looking from afar like a ghost crawling out of hell...

However, on the other side of the ocean, it is a different view.
