Chapter 194 The Last Battle

Li Yan put down the spoon in his hand, turned around and walked to Jidi, and asked: "Jidi, back then, was it..."

Li Yan was halfway through his words when he could no longer continue.

Jidi understood the meaning of his words and nodded silently.

Li Yan said bitterly: "Meixiang, does she hate me so much?"

Jidi struggled to stand up and said anxiously, "No! Meixiang has always regretted it. From that day until she died, she regretted it all the time. She always told me that she must find you and say sorry to you in person. She said that it doesn't matter whether you want to hit her or scold her. The last words she said before she died were "I'm sorry" over and over again."

"Meixiang... Meixiang she..."

Li Yan was stunned.

He thought that Meixiang would get what she wanted and live a happy life after successfully marrying Jidi.

He alone bore all the pain and suffering.

He alone was a loser.

original……

It turns out that Meixiang is also in so much pain.

The pain continues until death and there is no relief.

Li Yan took a few steps back in a daze until he bumped into the stove, then he stood up leaning against the edge of the stove.

Li Yan felt complicated and painful. He felt a little pleasure from revenge, but more of it was sadness.

For myself, for Meixiang, and for all these meaningless revenge over the years.

"Li Yan..."

Seeing that Jidi seemed to want to say something, Li Yan stretched out his hand to stop him and whispered, "Let me be alone for a while."

He walked past Jidi and saw Meili, who looked very similar to Meixiang. He murmured, "They look so alike..."

Li Yan staggered past Jidi and Meili, came to Xu Qing, and said, "Thank you for the dish. You are right. What I have always wanted is not revenge, but the truth. Now, I finally got the truth. But my heart is extremely empty, because the bright smile that has always supported me through countless difficulties will never appear again."

Xu Qing was speechless.

Li Yan didn't expect him to say anything.

Because any words have no meaning at this moment.

He just wanted to be quiet for a while and sort out his thoughts.

Mei Li watched Li Yan's figure gradually disappear into the darkness. Suddenly, an impulse arose in her heart. She stood up suddenly and shouted loudly at Li Yan's back: "I'm sorry!"

Li Yan suddenly stood still.

Similar looks, similar voice.

It was as if the girl with the bright smile appeared behind him again.

She shouted desperately, saying the words she could never say.

sorry!
I'm really sorry!

Li Yan's tears burst out uncontrollably. All the pain, sadness, despair and resentment turned into tears and poured out, venting the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for so long.

He clenched his teeth to prevent the tears from coming out of his mouth.

It took him a long time to suppress the emotions surging in his chest and barely regain his composure.

Li Yan turned his head and said hoarsely to Mei Li: "Thank you... I'm sorry for making you suffer so much."

Mary shook her head quickly.

Although she once hated this armored monster, after hearing these past events, she no longer felt any hatred in her heart.

After all, it was his mother who did something wrong, and Li Yan was the victim.

Meili knew that this "I'm sorry" could not make up for Li Yan's pain, but at least she wanted to say sorry on behalf of her mother.

Jidi patted Meili's shoulder gently, feeling indescribably relieved.

Li Yan took a deep breath and walked away from the cooking competition.

Meili looked back at Jidi and asked, "Will he be okay?"

"Don't worry, Li Yan is not someone who can be beaten so easily."

Jidi looked at Li Yan's departing back and said with certainty.

Li Yan walked to a dark corner where no one was around, and then he took off the armor on his face. Tears had already filled his face, and even the inside of his armor was wet.

He thought he would never cry again.

I didn't expect that he could cry.

The heart that was cold because of revenge gradually warmed up, and he felt a little alive. He once put on a mask, buried everything in the past, and turned himself into a demon who lived only for revenge.

However, it's time to end it.

Let all this hatred and pain end right now.

Li Yan looked at the mask in his hand and wanted to throw it aside, but after thinking about it, he put it back on his head.

He had one last thing to do.

He couldn't let Xu Qing, Meili, Jidi and others die here.

We must find a way to rescue them.

Li Yan walked towards the room where Lai He was.

Lai He left early before, and I don’t know what tricks he will play in secret.

He'd better prepare early.

At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a thin old man leaned out of the door. Seeing that the person coming was Li Yan, he immediately said with disdain: "How dare a loser come here?"

Li Yan said coldly: "Where is Lai He?"

Lai He's voice came from inside the door, "Is that Li Yan? Let him in."

The thin old man quickly responded, "Yes."

Li Yan pushed the door open and was surprised to find that Lai He in front of him was covered with needles as thin as cow hair, turning him into a big hedgehog, which made people feel a little creepy.

"How is this going?"

Li Yan asked in shock.

Lai He looked at the thin old man and motioned for him to explain.

The thin old man said proudly: "This is the secret method of the dark cooking world! Using acupuncture to stimulate the acupuncture points can maximize the hidden potential of the human body. It can increase a person's physical strength and five senses exponentially in a short period of time. But the consequences are also terrible. After the effect fades, you will be unable to move for at least three months. If you are unlucky, you may even lose your five senses."

"Why do this?"

Li Yan asked with a frown.

Lai He said: "You should be very clear about Xu Qing's strength. He is too terrifying. If I don't use this method, I can't beat him at all!"

Li Yan hesitated and said, "You... I thought you would use some other tricks."

After all, Lai He is a typical member of the dark culinary world, and they have never been reluctant to use some dark means to ensure their victory.

Lai He laughed at himself: "I have thought about it before. But after seeing his strength, an irresistible thought arose in my heart. I want to compete with him, using my own means and my own strength. Only in this way can I win! I am unwilling to use other methods."

Li Yan said: "You don't look like someone from the dark cuisine world now."

"What's that like?"

“Like a chef.”

Lai He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Li Yan looked at him with a complicated expression. Even someone like Lai He had been changed by Xu Qing.

That boy is truly terrifying.

Lai He looked at the thin old man, "It's time."

The thin old man walked quickly forward and carefully removed the thin needles from Lai He's body one by one.

When the last needle was removed, Lai He's face instantly twisted, as if he was in endless pain.

His muscles swelled instantly, his body became at least twice as strong as before, and his skin turned an abnormal red color.

Lai He's muscles bulged, veins bulged all over his body, and his expression was twisted in pain, making him look like a devil returning from hell, which was terrifying.

After a while, Lai He let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down.

In his eyes, the world around him suddenly became different, as if a thin veil had been lifted off the whole world, making it clearer and more real.

The sounds in the ears, the breath through the nose, and the touch of the skin have become extremely sensitive. Even the brain is much sharper than usual. Many vague details in the memory now appear clearly before my eyes.

“So… that’s how it feels.”

Lai He moved his hands and feet with satisfaction.

His exceptionally sharp five senses made his confidence surge to an unprecedented level!
At this moment, let alone Xu Qing, even if the man who dominates the dark culinary world stood in front of him, he would have the confidence to challenge him!
"Let's go, this is the last battle."

Lai He said as he walked towards the duel venue.

Li Yan and the thin old man followed closely behind.
