In the world of Zongman, the ruthless monks just want to play badly

Seeing that staying here would only make Miss Fengchuan restless, Baili chatted with her for a few more words, then made an excuse to deal with the ingredients and turned to go to the kitchen.

Only after he left did Xiangzi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, for a weak woman like her, going home with a strange boy on first meeting is actually a very dangerous thing.

But after a little hesitation, Xiangzi finally agreed.

Even the reason for being entangled is not worrying about one's own safety, but worrying about whether it will cause trouble to others.

the reason is simple.

Based on Baili's appearance...

If he really wants a girlfriend, the girls who have volunteered would surely line up from Ikebukuro to Mount Fuji, right?

Toyokawa Shoko even seriously considered it.

Compared to the possibility that Baili had bad intentions towards her, the probability that she was attracted by her beauty seemed to be even higher.

That's exactly what happened.

Bai Li's personality is just like his appearance, he can only be described as beautiful and kind-hearted.

Not only that, he is also a good cook.

After being processed by him, the already high-end ingredients not only become delicious in color, aroma and taste, but also seem to emit a faint golden glow.

But Xiangzi just thought it was an illusion caused by hunger.

When she finally came to her senses, she found that her belly had become bigger.

The girl touched her bulging belly with satisfaction, her big amber eyes twinkling, and she was visibly happy.

“Thank you very much for the hospitality!”

"As long as it suits your taste."

“Dinner was delicious!”

Toyokawa Shoko clasped her hands together and looked at him seriously. "This is the most delicious meal I've ever had! He's about the same age as me, but he's such a great cook. Could it be that Baili-san comes from one of those legendary chef families?"

"No, it's just a hobby."

To be precise, Bai Li developed this cooking skill shortly after he joined the Xuantian Sect.

At that time, he had just started practicing and was far from reaching the level of fasting. Since he had no other entertainment, he had to think about cooking to pass the time.

But later on, as his cultivation became higher and higher, his understanding of the ruthless way became deeper and deeper.

Bai Li hasn't picked up the familiar pots and pans for a long time, but fortunately he has not lost this skill.

"Ah, it's almost eleven o'clock!"

Shoko Toyokawa was startled when she accidentally saw the clock on the wall, and then she lost the desire to continue chatting with Baili. She was so happy eating that she forgot that her bastard father was still at home alone.

So he hurriedly said goodbye.

Bai Li did not try to keep her, nor did he plan to let Toyokawa Shoko stay overnight.

It was just a chance encounter, so just stop there. It would be bad if the girl misunderstood that you had ulterior motives.

He just handed her the small bag left on the sofa.

"your things."

"Thank you very much."

Xiangzi slapped his head in annoyance. It was so rude of him to be so careless.

Then he bowed slightly to Baili, expressed his gratitude once again, and then turned and left.

……

Still walking alone on the quiet street.

But Xiangzi's mood was completely different from before, he was prosperous and full of hope.

"Bai Li, you are such a nice person."

The girl couldn't help but think that not only was her appearance the most beautiful in the world, but her personality was also so gentle.

If I were the well-fed and well-clothed me of the past, I might have fallen into it and been unable to extricate myself, right?

but……

Things have changed and she is no longer the naive young lady. She and Bai Li are from two different worlds.

The other party is a peerless handsome young man from a wealthy family.

And she was just an unknown working girl in Tokyo.

The gap between the two is like a chasm.

"Damn daddy's dinner is still not settled..."

Sighing, Xiangzi stopped thinking about these meaningless troubles and turned to worry about another problem.

Although I was just treated to a feast by classmate Baili, I was just full.

But with the girl's self-esteem, it is absolutely impossible for her to ask for a package.

But the money in my pocket was so little that I could hardly afford even a half-price pork chop bento.

If Xiangzi had not encountered the incident with Baili, he would have planned to use all his money to buy lunch boxes for his bastard father.

As for herself, she had been hungry all day anyway, so it didn't matter if she skipped a meal.

As long as we can hold on until payday tomorrow, everything will be fine.

But after being treated to dinner by Baili, Xiangzi felt satisfied, but also felt guilty for eating alone.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl walked into a convenience store on the side of the road, intending to see if there was any cheap food she could afford. She couldn't let her bastard father go hungry.

After careful selection, she finally found a vegetarian lunch box that was just within her affordable range.

"That's 98 yen in total. Thank you for your patronage."

The young clerk scanned the code skillfully, and when he looked up, he found that the customer in front of him was staring at his bag in a daze for some reason.

"Guest? Hello, guest? Could you please pay the bill?"

As a last resort, he waved his hand in front of the blue-haired girl.

"Huh? Sorry, I lost my composure."

Shoko Toyokawa finally came to her senses, hurriedly paid, and then left the convenience store.

When I got home, I opened the shoe cabinet at the entrance and habitually shouted "I'm back", but of course I didn't get any response.

The lights were off in the dim living room. A middle-aged man in a wrinkled shirt was lying on the floor in a daze, snoring loudly, with beer cans scattered around him.

"Dad, this is your dinner."

With a cold face, Xiangzi threw the shopping bag in her hand to the man whom she should call "father", and then returned to the bedroom without looking back.

Leaning tiredly against the wall, the girl slowly squatted down, staring blankly at the five ten-thousand-yuan bills in her hand.

She found it in her shoulder bag, and someone had secretly put it in the compartment at some point.

Didn’t they agree that after one dinner, they would be even?

Yet, he has to act on his own...

Is it charity? Or mercy?

She clearly hated being treated as a weakling and even refused Xiao Mu's help.

But at this moment, a strange, unprecedented feeling lingered in my heart.

Somewhat sour and some sweet.

She blinked hard to keep the tears from falling.

But the surging emotions are like a rolling stone falling from a mountain. Once it falls, it is difficult to stop it.

Xiangzi thought he was very strong.

She didn't cry when her father and mother divorced.

She didn't cry when her father was kicked out of the Toyokawa family.

Her father became a disabled man and only knew how to drown his sorrows in alcohol every day. She lost her life as a carefree young lady. She had to maintain her studies while shouldering the burden of life. The pressure made her breathless, but Xiangzi still did not cry.

She just gritted her teeth and told herself to hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, and things will get better slowly.

But now, just a few banknotes that were once insignificant caused Xiangzi to have an emotional breakdown.

It’s like a young man who was just fired and pretended to be relaxed when reporting safety to his family, saying that he was doing well, but he was defeated by his mother’s words “Come home if you are tired”. His heart was broken in an instant and he could no longer pretend to be calm.

The suppressed crying continued for a long time.

When Xiangzi finally calmed down, the girl gently smoothed the banknotes in her hand, leaving no wrinkles.

Then, he carefully put it in his most cherished diary, as if hiding a unique treasure.

The neat bed was soft, supporting the girl's tired body.

Her long sea-blue hair spread out like coral, and she held the diary tightly in her arms.

It's like hugging the whole world.

The moon was high outside the window, and the soft breeze of early spring blew through the night, feeling unexpectedly gentle.

In the room where you could hear a pin drop, only soft whispers echoed.

"Mr. Baili..."

"Good night."

Chapter 5 Grass Guardian

It’s a rare good day with clear skies.

The brilliant morning sun streamed into the room through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft halo on the sleeping figure on the velvet bed, like a floor covered with broken gold.

When Bai Li woke up, the clock hands reached exactly eight o'clock.
