Chapter 144 Fragile Life

After venting his frustrations, Blake casually poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he rubbed his forehead, and somehow managed to rub out an extremely thin golden thread.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he gripped the gold thread and pulled it outwards with a sudden jerk!
With a muffled groan of extreme pain, Blake stared grimly at the golden seed in his hand.

"Damn it, if you want me to be your puppet, you'd better see if you're even worthy!"

He was panting heavily, his hands trembling as he poured himself another glass of wine, gulped it down, and smashed the glass on the ground!
"If it weren't for the secret of Paro Island... I'd settle accounts with you all one by one after I dealt with that idiot young lady and landed on Paro Island..."

Jiang Ran, having finished her fight with Blake, leisurely began to enjoy her dinner.

She wasn't worried at all that Blake would come and disturb her meal, because the coordinates she gave Blake... were the coordinates of the cave where she had robbed the big eyeball.

Thanks to her good habits, Jiang Ran would habitually mark a spot whenever she arrived at a special location.

On the one hand, it's intuitive; some places are quite dangerous, reminding myself to go around them. On the other hand, it's also about seeing if there's a second chance to get freebies.

The original cave contained both elements.

If Jiang Ran weren't worried about being chased by the giant eyeballs as soon as she went in, she would have really wanted to go and see if those light orbs inside had grown back.

This time, Blake got off easy.

Hopefully, he can withstand some damage...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran quickly sent Blake a message: "By the way, remember to let me know when you come over so I can pick you up."

Actually, I wanted to conveniently use the inheritance plunder at the right time—I was tricked into going there and killed, so I guess I should be considered dead at her hands, right?
Whether there are dates or not, do you take a step back?

After sending the message, seeing that Blake did not reply, Jiang Ran thoughtfully set up a message reminder for him, and then happily enjoyed her meal.

Perhaps because of the rain, Xiaobai made all the classic Hunan dishes today. Tender fish slices were hidden in the bright red spicy soup, white as jade, and bright yellow chicken was soaked in the sour and fragrant soup. Just eating it with the crisp ginger shreds was enough to make you want to eat a bowl of rice.

The pork slices, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, are fried until dry and fragrant, and nestled together with bright green chilies. Next to them is a large bowl of spicy and fragrant crayfish. The most classic dish is the chili and preserved egg stew, which has been mashed into a paste in an earthenware pot.

Jiang Ran took a sip of ice-cold beer. Just smelling its strong aroma made the rainy day seem less damp.

Majik, who was not originally Chinese, almost popped his eyes out when he saw Xiaobai calmly cooking and serving up various exquisite dishes.

Although he didn't know the specifics of her skills yet, he had long suspected that Xiaobai was a slave "tamed" by Jiang Ran in a similar way to him, only using the title of young lady to attract hatred.

But nobody told him that being a young lady's slave also required such coquettishness!

Especially when he saw that after Xiaobai had set out Jiang Ran's food, he very consciously set up a small table next to her, put out a few dishes and prepared to eat, Majik shamelessly took out a chair and sat down next to Xiaobai, intending to freeload a meal.

God knows how long it has been since he had a proper hot meal with meat and vegetables, and a beautifully presented plate!

Even when I was with GOD, I was never this particular about food.

Seeing Jiang Ran eating with a relaxed expression at the main table, Majik even had a strange feeling, as if he and Jiang Ran were not enemies in the past, nor were they in a master-servant relationship now.

The three of them may have simply encountered a rainy day while on a picnic on a small hill, and decided to have a picnic in the rain.

This idea came to an abrupt end when he took his first bite of chili pepper and was so choked that he questioned his existence.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Ran and Xiao Bai were both enjoying their meal so much, Majik would have suspected that Jiang Ran was trying to poison him. He hurriedly drank down his ice-cold beer to suppress the spiciness, yet inexplicably savored the lingering stimulation and flavor on his tongue, so he ate bite after bite, sweat dripping from his nose.

Majik originally thought he didn't value these culinary desires much, especially after he gained immortality, so eating or not eating became less important.

But it was only then that he realized that not dying did not necessarily mean living.

By the time he came to his senses, all the food in front of him had been devoured.

Xiao Bai, sitting opposite him, seemed a little helpless: "Are you full? I steamed some buns."

Majik nodded subconsciously, took the warm, soft steamed bun from Xiaobai, and followed suit, dipping the bun in the remaining soup and slowly eating it.

Feeling the satisfaction in his stomach, Majik looked at Jiang Ran, who was still eating slowly and leisurely beside him, with a complicated expression.

In summary, it's roughly about: what kind of hard life did I live in the past?

But what's even more shocking is that Jiang Ran was secretly eating so well!
While others are struggling to survive, what is she doing? What decent family brings a cook when participating in a brutal survival game?!
What's even more outrageous is that the chef's cooking skills are so good!!
For the first time in his life, Majik had a slight thought that "following this master... doesn't seem so bad."

Jiang Ran didn't care at all about Majik's emotional journey; she was actually more particular about rice than vegetables.

Given good rice, she prefers to savor its flavor.

Just as she was concentrating on her meal, a special reminder suddenly went off.

Blake: "Baby, I'm here to find you~ [flying kiss]"

Jiang Ran blinked: "I can't wait!"

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Seeing that you hadn't answered for a while, I thought you were too scared to come."

Blake: "How could that be, honey? I was just making thorough preparations to see you..."

Jiang Ran remained silent, but quietly clicked on the inheritance plunder.

One minute later.

Blake: "Damn it, where am I?! Why do I feel a familiar yet dangerous aura here?!"

Blake: "Miss!! You bitch!!! You lied to me!!!"

Blake: "No, impossible... How could His power be here? No—"

Half a minute later, Blake's profile picture went black.

Jiang Ran clicked her tongue softly in disappointment.

That's it? Such fragile life.

However, considering that Blake might be facing a furious version of Big Eyes... being able to last half a minute is already quite an achievement.

With a sigh, just as Jiang Ran was about to close the chat window where Blake was still staring blankly into the distance, she suddenly received a pleasant surprise notification.
