She did not manage to snatch the last one.
She was at a loss.
Though unsure of the reason, Gu Chaoyan felt the urge to rise from her seat. Despite her confusion, her role as the Heaven Emperor's maidservant remained ingrained in her consciousness. It was undeniably audacious to partake in the meal alongside him and even attempt to claim his food.
Thus, she made the decision to stand, intending to address the situation later.
In walked a striking woman, her visage contorted with anger, a sight that did her no favors. Qi Yue's fury was palpable, her indignation fueled by the audacity of anyone daring to dine with the Heaven Emperor in such a manner.
In the hallowed halls of the Heavenly Palace, such behavior was beyond reproach, a blatant affront to propriety.
Her rage threatened to consume her, fueled by the perceived disrespect from this ignorant interloper.
