Chapter 84): What’s For Dinner?
Chapter 84): What’s For Dinner?
Back in his human form, he was delighted that he could finally eat human food again.
But his lunch was not as enjoyable as he expected.
The figure of Du Sixian haunted him, and he found it hard to enjoy his food.
And it was also because the cafeteria food was not good in the first place.
Its strangethe aroma coming from the cafeteria tempted him. It tempted him to open his wallet and order a lunch set consisting of rice, vegetables, meat, fruit, etc.
However, it ended up tasting like wax.
Staring at the half-eaten food on the table, he was in a daze.
Why? Do I still need to eat more cores?
Or is it because the cores ruined my sense of taste?
He silently apologised to the farmers who cultivated his food and dumped the remainder of his food into the waste bin, and this scene was witnessed by a girl not far away.
Gu Qianqian hurriedly ran over to the waste bin that the boy had just dumped his food in and cried out, seeing the amount of food that was dumped into the bin.
What a waste!
System! Youre right! she perked up. He is definitely a big villain!
Was that really the breaking point? the system said.
W-well whatever! Just give me the next mission; I need enough power to take that boy witch down!
The system sighed internally. Back then, no matter how hard it bribed her, the girl would refuse to do any mission given to her.
Now, she wants to complete missions, thanks to wasted food?
I dont have many rewards for you, the system said. I will inform you when sufficient rewards are back in stock.
Arent you a system? Why do you even need to restock things? Are you even a real system?
The system gulped. It couldnt tell her that it has been feasting to the point where it is powerless.
Ah, haha of course I am! I would never lie to you!
Whatever, the girl pouted. When is the estimated time for my next mission?
Half a month, during the schools celebration.
The system smirked. When everybody is focused on the school celebration, it could syphon all their energy without anyone noticing and plant it all on the girl!
What a perfect plan!
There were still two hours before his class, and Lu Yibei opted to wander around campus aimlessly.
Down the Cherry Blossom Avenue of the University, the trees towered over him.
The withered and yellow leaves on the branches trembled gently in the breeze and fluttered down from time to time, covering the avenue with a new layer of reddish-brown.
The students hurriedly stepped on the fallen leaves, leaving behind crisp, crackling noises.
Lu Yibei sat on a bench by the avenue.
Originally, he wanted to go to the football field and test out Brazils football-related memories.
He was lucky to meet a few members of the National Football Club, too.
Of course, to no ones surprise, he was brutally rejected.
Hey, buddy! Hand me a ball, and Ill help you score a few goals! he remembered saying.
All of the members glanced at him in disgust, and somebody said, Our motto is that our club does not shoot for goals. Get out.
And just like that, he was kicked out of the club.
What the hell do they mean by not shooting for goals? I cant believe they focus on attacking and defending instead of kicking the ball into the goal!
He sat on the bench and looked at each student passing by, hoping that he would run into Lin Yiqi.
Half an hour passed, and she didnt appear. He didnt have any expectations for her to show up anyway.
Its hard to look for someone in a crowded university like this.
Just like how a girl is having trouble looking for him as well.
The library is the tallest building at the university.
Standing in the small garden on the roof of the library, you could almost overlook the entire campus.
During the autumn season, the flowers in the garden bloomed with vigour, contrasting with the dead and sullen leaves down below.
The garden is, of course, closed off from the students.
Rumour has it that two medical students had a quarrel in the garden, and the boy killed the girl in a fit of anger, burying her body in the flower bed of the garden.
The girls body mysteriously disappeared overnight, as if the roots had consumed her entirely.
Some say that they saw a terrifying figure eclipsing the bloody sunset during the evening and that the flowers in the garden will only wither when the girls resentment completely dissipates.
A girl in plain clothes sat lazily on the concrete fence, wearing a black mask depicting a bird totem.
Lin Yiqi, the girl sighed. I know I said to use me to create an urban legend on campus, but did you have to make it so terrifying? Im going to miss observing students secretly, especially when they are kissing! Its so fun to just show up and scare them!
Behind her, Lin Yiqi whispered, with the baby still resting on her shoulder, Sorry. I didnt think it through.
Forget it. Small matter, but the girl said, glancing at Lin Yiqi. Next time, dont bring that thing when you come to me. Its disgusting.
Yes, I understand.
The girl nodded, continuing to scan the campus with her gaze before letting out a sigh.
Lin Yiqi, are you sure that the witch studies here? Even if she were able to shapeshift, she would be leaking with magic right now!
In the girls imagination, the witch should be dying to use her powers, and at that moment, shell be able to pop out like a heroine and punch the witch, teaching her a lesson!
Originally, when she returned to school, an earth spirit informed her that a girl had been stalking her from the university to Shihekou High, which made her think that the girl should be studying here as well.
However, now she wasnt so sure.
A newly-born witch should, by definition, be using her powers for everything.
Perfect scores in exams, plenty of friends, boys fawning over them
It just doesnt make sense.
Lin Yiqi wouldve looked for her herself, but she had to keep a low profile since the Night Division was on the prowl during these moonless nights.
While thinking, Lin Yiqis eyes narrowed slightly as if she remembered something important.
Shell definitely appear in half a month during the school celebration!
Well, Ill teach her a lesson in half a month, then. If I cant find her, then Ill have to go back to my domain.
Yes! Lin Yiqi nodded. I know your domain wont be able to hold without your presence, so
Good, good. The girl nodded. I have another important question, Yiqi.
Please tell me.
Whats for dinner tonight? I feel like eating sashimi from that three-Michelin-star restaurant near the campus.
Lin Yiqi couldnt help but sigh internally, Arent you a thousand-year-old monster? Are you trying to rip off a young girl like me? Damn it!
