Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

"Squeak"

A jarring sound of a door opening rang out.

Qin Huaiyu led Chu Yanxi in.

"Who are you people, and what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Seeing that the two were unfamiliar faces, Yu Fei glanced at them sideways and said.

Big head, thick neck, he really is a cook.

Qin Huaiyu inwardly sighed at Teacher Zhao, but on the surface he smiled and said:

"Manager, my brother and I are worried that the kitchen will be too busy since it's almost noon, so we came to help out."

"help?"

Yu Fei seemed to have heard a joke, and a mocking smile appeared on his greasy face.

"Before lying, you should understand the rules of Black Cloud Village. The kitchen is a place of punishment, and everyone who comes here is someone who has made a mistake."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two men by the stove, saying, "Just like them, they were demoted here because of their poor performance. They will never be given important responsibilities again in this life, and they can only be exploited to death by me in this kitchen."

"Heh, you dare to say you're here to help in a place like this?"

"Tell me honestly, what exactly are you here for? Otherwise, I don't mind serving you another bowl of human flesh soup for lunch today!"

"No, no, manager, I'll talk, I'll talk."

Qin Huaiyu knew it wouldn't be that simple, so he immediately feigned a panicked expression and hurriedly said:

"We're Scarface's men. We got into some trouble while we were out and about, so we were punished by being sent here to clean up the food."

"snort"

Yu Fei snorted coldly, "That's more like it. Don't try to be clever in front of me in the future. If you want to shirk your responsibilities, dream on."

"Yes, yes, sir, we will never dare to do it again."

Qin Huaiyu quickly agreed.

This fat guy really thinks he's something. There's not a single good person in Black Cloud Stronghold; they're all arrogant, domineering, and vicious.

"Then what are you waiting for? Do you still want to be served?" The fat man's fleshy muscles twitched, revealing his ferocious nature.

Upon seeing this, Qin Huaiyu immediately pulled Chu Yanxi towards the desk.

"Go wash the vegetables," he whispered to Chu Yanxi.

Knowing the situation, Chu Yanxi could only grit her teeth and squat down next to the basin, starting to fiddle with the things she didn't know the names of.

Fortunately, it's a job that doesn't require much skill, so you can't really tell if it's right or wrong.

Seeing that the two were somewhat sensible, the fat man's expression softened slightly.

He took a few steps back and plopped down on the chair to the side. The wooden structure seemed to be unable to bear the weight and made a "creaking" sound.

"Useless junk, just like you!"

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. So Qin Huaiyu pretended not to hear and picked up the cleaver to start working.

In his previous life—no, I should say in his original world—although he was a student, he learned life skills early on because of his ordinary family background. He was good at everything, from cooking to housework.

Chopping vegetables isn't something you can do just by having hands.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The cleaver struck the cutting board with a rhythmic sound.

Chu Yanxi below was greatly surprised. How could this guy even know this!

He can compose poetry with his mouth, wield a sword with his hands, and possesses considerable skill...

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

She was somewhat taken aback.

Of course, Qin Huaiyu was unaware of her thoughts; at that moment, he was using his divine sense to explore his surroundings.

Behind them, the fat man was leisurely drinking tea with his legs crossed.

Two flies buzzed around the doorway.

What attracted them, however, was the peeping child peering through the window.

Hmph, it really is you. In that case, I'll make you feel embarrassed.

Using the kitchen knife as cover, Qin Huaiyu suddenly flicked out a burst of energy with his left hand.

A faint ray of dark gold shone directly into the window.

"hiss"

A sudden gasp rang out from the doorway.

"Who?"

Yu Fei trembled, jumped up in surprise, and then swayed as she quickly walked out the door.

The people at the door didn't even have time to hide before they were caught red-handed.

Looking at the man in black with his back turned, Yu Fei showed no politeness and immediately cursed:

"You damn bastard, who gave you the guts to cause trouble in the kitchen? Do you want to die?"

After listening, the man in black... read through countless good books, including "The Chosen One, How Did I Become the Villain?". He hesitated for a moment, then finally turned around.

"asshole……"

Yu Fei was about to continue speaking when he saw who it was, and the words he was about to say were abruptly stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back.

"Keep cursing!"

"Brother Gui, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, I didn't know it was you." Yu Fei's expression changed drastically.

The greedy ghost was both surprised and embarrassed. He was surprised that something had flown into his eyes, and embarrassed that he had been caught peeping. It was too shameful!

He wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, but he maintained his composure and said:

"Fine, ignorance is no excuse. I'll let you off this time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:

"Thank you so much, Brother Gui! Thank you so much, Brother Gui!"

Inside the house at this time

Seeing that the time was right, Qin Huaiyu quietly took out the wooden box and flicked his finger to place two or three poisonous plants on the table.

The two people on the stove were still turning their heads, paying attention to the commotion outside.

Qin Huaiyu quickly chopped up the poisonous herb, and with a swift motion of his knife, the herb flew into the nearest pot.

All of this happened so fast, in the blink of an eye.

Even Chu Yanxi didn't notice.

The spatula stirred mechanically, and by the time the man turned his head, the poisonous weeds had already blended into the vegetables and were indistinguishable from them.

"Just one last step."

Qin Huaiyu stopped wielding his sword and looked out the door.

Yu Fei fawned over him like a lapdog.

"Brother Gui, what brings you to my humble abode today?"

"Don't you check the time?"

The greedy ghost said with a dark face, "It's already noon, why aren't we eating? Do you want everyone to starve to death?"
