Zhang Xinyue, who sat across Tang Xiu, was dumbfounded and tongue-tied as she watched him constantly conjure food out of thin air and stuff it into his mouth as though he was the reincarnation of a starving ghost. She roughly estimated that Tang Xiu had eaten at least hundreds of kilograms of food in his stomach for two hours.
"This is the appetite of a whale."
Zhang Xinyue finally noticed that Tan Xiu no longer conjured food, but a bottle of wine and gulped it down. She was previously afraid that Tan Xiu would eat too much, but now it seemed that her worries were groundless. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Tan Xiu yell, "Awu, go catch some wild beasts and barbecue them for me. I can eat hundreds of kilograms of barbecued meat!"
Plop …
Zhang Xinyue fell on the edge of the bed. When Tan Xiu stood up and came to her with a confused face, she covered her forehead and sat up again. She was at a loss whether she had to cry or laugh as she said, "Even reincarnated hungry ghosts don't have such an appetite like yours, right? You've been eating for two hours and hundreds of kilograms of food, yet you can still eat hundreds of kilograms? "
Tan Xiu suddenly realized that his crazy eating and drinking had scared Zhang Xinyue, yet he still felt hungry. If it weren't for the food stored in his interspatial ring that he had eaten in advance, he would probably not have been able to stop eating until now.
However …
Using food to replenish his blood and Qi was the best way for him at present. After all, the blood in his blood vessels had been reduced by three-quarters. He was afraid that he would become weak if he didn't eat more to replenish his blood and Qi.
"We cultivators can't be treated with common sense. The ancient people once said that you can eat a cow when you're hungry. It's not a lie, nor is it an exaggeration for those special people. I've consumed too much in the past few days, so food is the best way to replenish my Qi and Qi, "said Tan Xiu with a light smile.
"Even if your consumption is a bit big, you shouldn't have eaten so much!" Zhang Xinyue said, "That's hundreds of kilograms of food! I wonder how your stomach can hold it. Even if your digestive system is very good and the food is directly digested, I don't see you going to the toilet, do you? "
"Cough, cough …"
Tan Xiu was defeated by Zhang Xinyue's words. If he could absorb 99.9% of the nutrients in the food, the remaining 0.1% of the waste wouldn't be enough for him to go to the toilet, right? Perhaps, after eating a few hundred kilograms of food, he would need to go to the bathroom.
However …
Wouldn't it be too awkward to explain such a question?
Tan Xiu shook his head and said with a hollow laugh, "Let's not talk about this topic anymore. In short, you know that we cultivators can't be looked at with the eyes of a normal person. Later, when Awu and the others are done roasting the game, you can also eat some. "
Zhang Xinyue nodded and suddenly said, "Tan Xiu, can I have a taste of the medicinal pills you concocted before? These past few days, just smelling the fragrance of the pill made me feel especially energetic. Also, I couldn't move the bed at all before, but the day before yesterday, I dropped my phone under it, so I subconsciously moved the bed. I didn't expect it to move so easily. This means that my strength has increased. "
Tan Xiu chuckled and said, "The smell of the panacea is indeed very good for ordinary people. Under a subtle influence, it can change your physique. However, I can't give you the medicinal pills I concocted before, else I won't be helping you, but harming you instead. "
"Why do you say that?" asked Zhang Xinyue with a puzzled expression.
"You're not a cultivator, so the huge medicinal efficacy will make your body explode if you take it rashly," said Tan Xiu.
Zhang Xinyue's heart turned cold and she immediately stopped talking about taking the medicinal pills. She twisted her body and changed the topic, "When are we leaving this place? I haven't taken a bath for several days, and I've broken the record of not taking a bath since I was a child. "
"We'll leave this place immediately after I'm full," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "We'll take a rest in Qinglin County first."
"Alright!"
Zhang Xinyue looked pleasantly surprised.
"Didn't you say that you want to go sightseeing in Qingcheng Mountain before?" asked Tan Xiu suddenly. "I haven't seen you go out for a week, have you?"
"Ah …"
Zhang Xinyue blushed and let out a dry smile. "I'm afraid that you'll get into trouble if I leave you here alone, so I didn't go sightseeing."
These days.
She kept thinking about it and finally realized that she was just like her elder sister. She didn't know when she had fallen in love with him. Of course, she didn't deny that it had something to do with her first time being taken away by him. But liking him was liking him. Even if she didn't want to, she still couldn't extricate herself from it …
However, she also thought over and over again that this trip was just a dream-like love experience. After she left Qingcheng Mountain, she would immediately cut off any contact with him and cut off all the feelings she had for him.
Late at night.
Tan Xiu took Zhang Xinyue, Awu, and the others back to Qinglin County. The entire county was quiet. Pedestrians and vehicles would occasionally pass by even at night. But now, they had rushed to the Senbao Five-Star Hotel in Qinglin County, yet they didn't encounter a single pedestrian or car.
"Why do I feel like something's wrong, Tan Xiu? This situation isn't normal! " The moment Zhang Xinyue stepped into the hotel's entrance, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the empty night outside.
"Maybe it's the recent murder cases that have been popping up one after another that scared the people of Qinglin County!" Tan Xiu forced a wry smile. "Besides, it's already midnight now, so it's normal for there to be no one outside."
Zhang Xinyue reluctantly accepted Tan Xiu's answer.
"Welcome, how many rooms do you need?" “
Inside the hotel lobby's bar counter, four on-duty staff looked at them at the same time. Two of them subconsciously looked at the rest area on the left, where four security guards specially arranged by the hotel were on duty.
"Two presidential suites, please," said Tan Xiu.
The four female cashiers looked surprised and observed Tan Xiu a few times. Suddenly, one of them asked, "Are you the Young Divine Doctor Tan Xiu? You look a bit familiar to me. "
"Since when did I become so famous?" Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing. "How come no one knows me when I stayed in this hotel before?"
"It's really you?" The female cashier was pleasantly surprised. "That's great! I finally got to see the face of this Great God. My uncle was almost poisoned in the Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze villa complex not long ago. I heard from him that he was lucky to have you here and escaped from the disaster. You're my uncle's savior, Divine Doctor Tang, as well as the savior of my entire family. Thank you. Thank you so much. "
"Ugh!"
"You're welcome. It's a doctor's duty to save people," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
A few minutes later.
Under the enthusiastic greeting of the four female cashiers, they finally completed the check-in procedures and successfully entered the presidential suite. What made Tan Xiu speechless was that Zhang Xinyue insisted on staying in the presidential suite with him and even chose a side room.
"What's your next plan, Boss?" Asked Mo Awu, who stayed alone in the presidential suite's hall. After Tan Xiu finished washing up and came out, he immediately asked.
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I'll return to Shanghai first and then go to the Longquan Bay in Kanas in the west. It's time to explore the Immortal Trove that has never been opened."
"It seems like it won't be long before your university's exam, Boss." Mo Awu nodded. "When you were concocting pills a few days ago, your teacher-in-charge called you, and I picked it up."
Exam?
Tan Xiu stared blankly and a wry smile appeared on his handsome face. Come to think of it, he had been studying at Shanghai University for almost a year, but the total time he had spent in school was probably less than two months. As for the content in the textbooks, he had almost finished all the freshman courses, but his attendance rate was really low.
'I gotta find a way to get the green light from the teachers of those subjects after I go back. Else, even if I can pass the exam, I won't have enough credits, which will affect my graduation certificate in the future.'
Tan Xiu lit up a cigarette and pondered silently. As a matter of fact, the diploma didn't matter to him at all. But his mother was very much looking forward to him getting a diploma from a famous university. It left him with no other choice but to force a smile.
Of course.
His mother wouldn't blame him if he really didn't want to continue his studies. After all, his current achievements were not necessarily the same even if he had a diploma from the world's top universities. However, his mother would surely be disappointed if he didn't have a diploma from a top university.
"Awu, go back and rest! We'll rush back to Shanghai early tomorrow morning, "said Tan Xiu as he waved his hand and looked up at the sparse twinkling stars in the dark sky outside the window.
Ten minutes later.
Zhang Xinyue came out of the room while wiping her wet long hair. Her eyes couldn't help but turn soft when she saw Tan Xiu sitting alone on the sofa, drinking beer and looking out the window.
"Are you thinking about something?"
Tan Xiu turned his head and looked at Zhang Xinyue's slender and curvy figure, as well as her face that was almost identical to Zhang Xinya's. He then said with a smile, "Just thinking about something."
Zhang Xinyue let out a faint smile and picked up the unopened beer on the coffee table. After opening it and drinking two mouthfuls, she smilingly said, "Tell me about it."
"You won't understand what I'm thinking about even if I tell you." Tan Xiu shook his head. "However, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Zhang Xinyue's expression slightly changed. She hesitated for more than ten seconds before slowly saying, "Can we not talk about it?"
"There are some things that must be solved." Tan Xiu shook his head. "No matter what you think, I want to tell you that I can't give you the feelings between a man and a woman since I already owe you a lot of emotional debt. However, since that incident happened due to a freak combination of factors, I can't let you suffer any grievances. I won't promise you money since I don't want to treat it as a transaction. However, I can promise you a life without worries in order to make up for what I owe you. "
"A life without worries?"
Zhang Xinyue let out a self-deprecating smile. She then stood up and walked to the window. With her back facing Tan Xiu, she said, "What kind of a life without worries?"
