Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 281, Section 284: Let your taste buds savor your true flavor.

That eerie gaze sent chills down Qian Lingyun's spine, who was planning to spend months in the hospital. She quickly took a few steps back and explained:

"Well... let's not rush the rest of the parts. We'll gradually integrate the others after I get used to them."

"I see!" Bai Yuan pouted, somewhat disappointed, and put down the knife she had been itching to use. She quickly looked up again and asked, "How long does it take for you to completely fuse a part? Can you give me an exact timeframe?"

Holy crap, you're so eager to use knives on me? This is going a bit too far!

Qian Lingyun's lips twitched, and she looked at Bai Yuan with a complicated expression. She casually made up a story: "There's an old saying that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. I reckon... it'll be at least three months!"

"Three months?" Bai Yuan angrily put away the scalpel, pulled over a chair, and sat down sullenly, grumbling in dissatisfaction:

"Are you kidding me! You're a monster with combat power equal to an ordinary Super Douluo! How could it take that long? I estimate a month should be enough! Just a month, okay!"

"Alright, Bai Gongfeng, your request is rather impolite!" Qian Lingyun frowned, pointed at the door, and said in a low voice, "It's not good to always stay in your room. I suggest you go out for a walk to clear your head!"

"But I..." Bai Yuan wanted to say something more, but when her gaze met Qian Lingyun's slightly dissatisfied eyes, she instinctively took a step back, as if she had seen something terrifying.

She was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Qian Lingyun and said, "Okay, okay, you rest for a while, I'll go out first."

"Hmm," Qian Lingyun snorted coldly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching Bai Yuan walk out of the room.

After a quick glance around the dark little room, Qian Lingyun felt a strange sense of unease.

It wasn't until Qian Lingyun saw the headless corpse on the floor that she belatedly realized what was happening and froze in place, because... this room belonged to Bai Yuan, not her...

"It seems... a little awkward..." Qian Lingyun rubbed her temples anxiously, and vaguely, she seemed to smell a faint sweet and fishy smell.

The aroma was so enticing, like the scent of flowers glistening with dew after the rain attracting butterflies and bees.

Slightly rousing herself, Qian Lingyun rubbed her face, which had been numb with pain, and twitched her nose.

With her eyes closed, she followed the faint scent in the air toward the source of that alluring, sweet, and fishy smell.

"Hey! Found it!"

Qian Lingyun picked up the source of the sweet, fishy smell—the metal container used to hold surgical waste.

Upon opening the lid of the silver metal container, sure enough, inside was...

Surprisingly, Qian Lingyun found the things here increasingly pleasing to the eye, feeling that they were completely different from anything she had seen before.

For example, no matter how the Holy Spirit Church's specially made nutritional meals are cooked, they always have a...taste that Qian Lingyun finds repulsive.

She always felt uncomfortable looking at the assembly line in the rabbit amusement park for too long.

But my own... is different.

The bright red color made Qian Lingyun nod repeatedly, a strange fondness welling up from the bottom of her heart.

Glug...

Having been starving for a while because of the bizarre food she had tasted, Qian Lingyun stared at the contents of the container, subconsciously swallowed, and murmured, "I...I really want some..."

After struggling for a while, Qian Lingyun kept switching between the idea of ​​putting down the container and producing and selling her own products.

"This is mine, wouldn't it be a shame to throw it away?"

Qian Lingyun had just put down the container in her hand, but couldn't help picking it up again. The intense hunger in her stomach tempted her to tentatively pick up a piece and place it on the tip of her nose.

A faint, sweet, and slightly fishy aroma, like a hook with endless magic, tantalized Qian Lingyun's taste buds.

Click!

Bai Yuan, who had been idly wandering around outside, hummed a little tune as she pushed open the door, just in time to witness Qian Lingyun tasting the food. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Hey, Saintess! What are you doing?"

"I...I...I..."

Qian Lingyun looked at Bai Yuan, who was completely bewildered, at a loss for words. After a long silence, she finally asked hesitantly, "Why...didn't you knock before entering the room...?"

"This is my room, I have the key, why should I knock?" Bai Yuan shook the key in her hand, pointed at what Qian Lingyun was holding, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I... this..."

After stammering for a long time, Qian Lingyun still couldn't give a coherent answer. Bai Yuan, however, understandingly shouted:

"I get it! They admire my incredible knife skills and appreciate my perfect cut, right?"

"Oh yes, you're absolutely right."

With a way out, Qian Lingyun took the opportunity to back down and echoed Bai Yuan's words a few times.

Suddenly, Bai Yuan moved closer to Qian Lingyun and peered in.

Having just undergone surgery on her left arm, Qian Lingyun was still unable to control it properly. Just as she raised her left arm to block, Bai Yuan had already closed her lips for her.

After gently pushing Qian Lingyun's chin with her palm, helping her open the door to a new world, Bai Yuan's eyes flashed with a playful expression. She chuckled and teased:

"Eat what you want! Why torture yourself? Aren't we evil spirit masters all pretty easygoing?"

"!" Qian Lingyun stared at Bai Yuan for a while, and finally let go of her last bit of resistance.

What?!

This deepest feeling in my heart... there's absolutely no need to suppress it!

…I want to eat more…

……

"How does it taste?"

Afterwards, Bai Yuan rested her chin on her left hand and looked with great interest at Qian Lingyun, whose eyes were flashing with red light.

For some reason, she sensed that Qian Lingyun had changed, right after they finished their late-night snack…

Although she couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed, she just felt like something was off.

That eerie feeling...it's like Qian Lingyun would...

"It's alright," Qian Lingyun licked her lips, sighing with some regret, "It's just that the portion wasn't enough; I wasn't full."

"Hehe," Bai Yuan chuckled dryly, teasingly adding, "Putting everything else aside, you're quite good at saving money!"

"The father's sperm and the mother's blood are inseparable."

"Stop, stop! Don't show off your culture to me. How much longer are we going to stay here? It's so boring! When are we going to leave?" Bai Yuan rolled her eyes in annoyance and reminded her.

"If you keep dawdling like this, Shangguan Wei'er, who only talks, might go on strike."

"Well... how about tomorrow? We'll leave tomorrow," Qian Lingyun pondered for a moment before finally deciding on the itinerary.
