Xin Lin’s small, delicate hand swayed in front of Gui Hu.
"No."
Gui Hu still had a cool and aloof deanor.
"We agreed on this!"
Xin Lin felt annoyed, her lips pouting, truly aggravated as she shoved the food box she brought back under the bed.
Gui Hu watched with interest as Xin Lin moved.
Inside the food box were two bowls of lotus root starch dessert, one big and one small.
The lotus root starch made from the Spiritual Lotus in the pond had received unanimous praise from everyone.
Gui Hu couldn’t have breakfast, so Xin Lin secretly made two bowls and brought them back while the Overlord Egg was full.
She was a person of her word, having promised to share a al with Gui Hu, she rembered and even deliberately ate less tonight.
Little did she know, Pride Corpse proved untrustworthy.
"I’ve dealt with that sign but didn’t destroy it."
Gui Hu stretched out his paw, and the food box landed in his grasp.
He opened the food box, and a sweet fragrance wafted out.
The white porcelain bowl of lotus root starch still steaming, topped with golden dried osmanthus and so unknown candied fruits.
Gui Hu had never tasted such a thing.
"Why not destroy it? That was Chu’s Restaurant’s sign."
Upon hearing this, Xin Lin felt slightly better but was still sowhat unwilling.
"I ask you, what is more terrifying than simply killing soone with one stroke?"
Gui Hu fiddled with a small soup spoon in the food box, then tossed it to Xin Lin.
The two, one human and one corpse, sat on the ground.
Holding her small bowl, Xin Lin then glanced at Gui Hu.
"Killing doesn’t go beyond the point of death, a more terrifying thod, could it be..."
In her previous life, she had seen many dead bodies, and naturally, witnessed many ways of dying.
Gui Hu glanced at Xin Lin, only to see a flash of coldness on her small face, uncharacteristic for her age.
"Indeed, rather than killing with one stroke, death by a thousand cuts is far more painful."
Gui Hu grabbed the large bowl, and like drinking wine, took a sip of the lotus root starch.
Hmm... Sweet-tasting, surprisingly, the weird-looking thing was not hard to drink.
"So, about De Yue Building’s sign?"
Xin Lin also took a small sip.
"You’ll understand when I show you later."
After Gui Hu took a few sips, the bowl was empty. Xin Lin looked at Gui Hu’s tall and thin body, then touched her own chubby arms and legs, thinking that being a corpse has its advantages, like never getting fat from eating.
The two, one human and one corpse, enjoyed this al harmoniously, and their relationship unintentionally took a step further.
The moon moved to the west window, and as the largest Spiritual Food Restaurant in town, this hour was pri business ti.
Glasses clinked, and the place buzzed with voices.
Xin Lin and Gui Hu, out in their Night Wandering State, stood at the entrance of De Yue Building.
Xin Lin looked up and saw the Phoebe Wood Sign hanging overhead.
The sign was the sa, but "De Yue Building" had replaced "Chu’s Restaurant", and on the sign flowed strands of hard-to-detect black energy.
That was Ghost Energy.
It was these strands of Ghost Energy that made the sign look completely different than when it radiated Spiritual Energy before.
Xin Lin took a closer look.
"Did you notice?"
Gui Hu glanced at the sign.
Xin Lin nodded; De Yue Building was different from a few days ago.
The grandly decorated De Yue Building, for so reason, seed tonight in Xin Lin’s eyes to lack the splendor and glory it should have as the city’s premier Spiritual Food Restaurant, appearing rather crude.
~Regarding whether Gui Hu is a corpse... what do you think?~
