Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

After testing and discovering that he was consuming his own mental energy and had reached his limit, Jiang Bai waved his hand and dispersed all the creations.

He lay in the coffin, let out a long yawn, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Before going to sleep, he was thinking about how long a single creation could last after he woke up...

If it could last for one night, he wouldn't need to carry a coffin to the wilderness; he could just make one on the spot...

……

Not long after Jiang Bai fell asleep, Hu Tao brought Xiang Ling and Guo Ba to the Hall of Rebirth.

"I didn't see him in the yard, he must be resting in his room." After walking around the yard, she led Xiangling to Jiang Bai's room.

Hu Tao reached out and knocked on the door, but received no response, which puzzled her.

According to the servants, Jiang Bai didn't go out. He even went to the kitchen to get breakfast this morning, so he should be in his room now.

Could she have fallen asleep?

Hu Tao was speechless.

Why is he asleep every time I try to contact him? Is this a lingering effect of his apparent death? Does he need more sleep?

Thinking it over, she transformed into a butterfly and passed through the gate, entering the interior.

There was no one on the bed; only the coffin was open.

She peeked into the coffin and, sure enough, the person inside was fast asleep.

After watching Hu Tao go inside, Xiang Ling stood blankly at the door, carrying the food box.

But after a short while, the door opened.

"Come in." Hu Tao opened the door and let Xiang Ling in.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate..." Xiangling felt embarrassed about opening someone else's door without their permission.

"It's alright, we're already here." Hu Tao chuckled, her mischievous side kicking in. "Just you wait and see how I scare it awake."

"Where is he?" Xiangling looked left and right, but couldn't see him.

Then she saw Hu Tao walk to the coffin that was placed in the room.

"Ow~"

A strange howl rang in his ears, startling Jiang Bai awake from his sleep.

And there it was again: that big face looking down at me at a 180-degree angle, with a smug smile on its face.

Seeing that Jiang Bai was finally scared, Hu Tao was overjoyed.

Her little ghost popped out from her shoulder, cheering that Jiang Bai was finally scared.

Seeing that it was a walnut, Jiang Bai was speechless, his dead fish eyes drooping, and he didn't want to get up.

Chapter 22 Outrageous Rumors

"Master..."

Hu Tao showed no remorse for waking Jiang Bai, straightened up, and put her hands on her hips, saying, "Why are you sleeping in the middle of the day!"

"I just want to rest for a bit..." Jiang Bai reluctantly climbed out of the coffin. He clearly remembered that the door was locked.

How exactly did Walnut get in?

Fortunately, he had already slept for a while and was no longer as tired as before.

He looked up and found there was another unfamiliar girl in the room.

The girl looked to be about the same age as Hu Tao, and they seemed to be good friends. She was looking at him with her big, watery eyes, full of curiosity.

Beside her was a cute brown pet, which was also tilting its head and looking at him curiously.

Xiangling looked at Jiang Bai with curiosity; the Jiang Bai in front of her was very different from what she had imagined.

According to the diners at Wanmintang, the person who came back to life was deathly pale, stiff like a zombie, and mentally unstable. He even crawled around and made strange howls...

Now it seems that's not the case at all; it just got more and more outrageous as it was spread.

Although the person in front of me had a slightly pale complexion, it was still bloodless, as if he hadn't seen the sun for too long.

As for the claim that his whole body was stiff, he was not at all, and was even fully conscious, walking and talking normally.

As for why he slept in a coffin... perhaps he felt insecure after waking up in a coffin, or perhaps he subconsciously regarded the coffin as his home...

Thinking about it, Xiangling's sympathy overflowed even more.

"Lulu~" Guoba didn't think as much as Xiangling did. Her cute brain couldn't hold anything complicated. She jumped up to greet Jiang Bai, this new face.

"Who are these?" Jiang Bai was also somewhat surprised to see the two new faces.

Is this the hall master's friend?

"This is Xiangling, and this is Guoba. They came to see you after hearing about your situation," Hu Tao explained simply.

After saying that, she turned to Xiangling and said, "This is Jiang Bai, right? He's not as pitiful as you think!"

"She's so pitiful..." Xiangling disagreed with her words, her thoughts blurting out unconsciously. Then she quickly remembered something and abruptly covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you were pitiful... No, no, that's not what I meant..."

It's obviously very impolite to say someone is pitiful in front of them. She tried to explain in a panic, but the more she spoke, the more at a loss she became.

Jiang Bai understood. It turned out that the girl felt sorry for him after learning about his situation, so she came to see him.

A gentle, harmless smile appeared on his face. "Did you come all this way just to see me? Or is this the first time someone has come to see me..."

Seeing that Jiang Bai didn't mind, Xiangling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard you had amnesia, so I came to see you." Xiangling opened the food box she was carrying and placed the dishes on the table one by one.

"I brought some food, I wonder if there's anything you like..."

Jiang Bai didn't mind the act of bringing gifts to his door at all; in fact, he welcomed it very much.

Please let more people feel sorry for him and bring him gifts to visit him!

He can handle it!

Jiang Bai prayed to the heavens in his heart.

Xiangling originally only planned to prepare a few dishes, but she accidentally prepared a little too many.

Besides the sweet flower wine with shredded flowers that Walnut had specifically requested, she also prepared crab roe tofu, mint salad, crispy rice crust, squirrel fish, crystal shrimp...

The table was laden with food; it was quite a feast.

When she brought out the bowl of sweet floral wine, she hesitated for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and placing it on the table.

What if Jiang Bai really likes this dish?

Aside from being overly sweet, this dish is quite acceptable in both appearance and taste.

She still hopes that some diners will like her recipes, which others might find strange.

"Wow~" Jiang Bai's eyes lit up when he saw the table full of food.

"Such a huge table of food, that's amazing!"

"This dish was specially asked by Hu Tao to make. It tastes quite sweet. I don't know if you like it..." Xiang Ling placed the Sweet Flower Wine in front of Jiang Bai, looking at him with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

"Come, come, sit down together." Hu Tao brought over the only two stools in the room, but they were still missing two.

Jiang Bai snapped his fingers and directly used elemental power to create two stone benches.

This move immediately caught Hu Tao's attention, and also made him notice the Eye of God on Jiang Bai's waist.

When she was lying in the coffin, the Eye of God was covered by her clothes, so Hu Tao didn't see it. But now, the Eye of God hanging on her waist is particularly conspicuous.

"You have the Eye of God?" Hu Tao exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I found it by the bed when I woke up this morning," Jiang Bai lied without batting an eye.

Although this is the head of the hall, Mr. Zhongli is obviously more prestigious, so Jiang Bai chose the latter without hesitation.

Hu Tao patted his shoulder in a very good mood, "Not bad, not bad, now we don't have to worry about encountering danger during business."

Jiang Bai was already quite strong, and now with the blessing of the Eye of God, he doesn't need to worry about danger at all!

"Come on, let's celebrate Jiang Bai obtaining the Eye of God with this meal!" Hu Tao cheered.

"Lulu~" Guoba's eyes crinkled as he sat down in the chair.

"It seems I cooked this meal at just the right time." Xiangling was also happy for Jiang Bai.

To gain the approval of the gods and thus obtain the Eye of God means that Jiang Bai has extraordinary abilities in a certain aspect and is an exceptional person.

This made her feel sympathy for Jiang Bai, but also gave her a greater sense of identification with him.

"I have to thank the Hall Master and Miss Xiangling... Miss Xiangling came to see me and prepared so many dishes, I don't know how to thank her enough..."

Jiang Bai scratched his head, looking like he didn't know what to do.

"Just call me Xiangling." Xiangling quickly waved her hand; she hadn't come to see Jiang Bai for anything.

“You have amnesia and don’t know anyone, so we should be the ones taking care of you. If you’re bored, you can come to Wanmintang to play with me and Guoba…”

"Lulu~" Guoba nodded and made a cheerful sound.

"Then you guys shouldn't find me annoying!"

"No, no!"

"Stop nagging and start eating! I'm starving!" Hu Tao interrupted their small talk.

Jiang Bai didn't bother with formalities anymore. He picked up the bowl and focused his gaze on the Sweet Flower Wine in front of him.

Just as Jiang Bai's spoon was about to touch the soup bowl, Xiang Ling, who had tasted the dish, became restless and wanted to take the bowl away.

She knew all too well the power of this dish; when Hu Tao ate it, her tooth ached for three days, and the sweetness of this dish was just as intense.

Chapter 23 Don't eat random things

If it were the first time he had made this dish, he would have been happy to have someone try it. But unfortunately, she had already figured out the recipe, and it was one of the failed recipes.

Serving such dishes to diners made her feel very guilty.

Hu Tao had already seen through Xiang Ling's thoughts. At this moment, she held Xiang Ling's hand tightly and whispered reassuringly, "Don't worry, he will definitely like it!"

She looked at Jiang Bai with a smile, anticipating his reaction after he tasted the flavor.

Jiang Bai noticed the two people's little actions, and his eyes darted around, landing on the sweet flower in front of him.

Could it be that Hu Tao did something to this dish?

To be honest, although he hadn't known Hu Tao for very long, he knew that Hu Tao was actually capable of doing something like this.

Jiang Bai remained expressionless, ladled out a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Hu Tao first, then ladled a bowl for Xiang Ling and Guo Ba, and finally ladled a bowl for himself.

"Master, Xiangling, Guoba, you all should eat too!"

He didn't start eating first, but looked at Hu Tao and waited for her to eat first.

"Why be so particular? Just eat."

Hu Tao, who was being watched by Jiang Bai, decided to try to get away with it. She picked up her chopsticks, intending to avoid the bowl of soup that Jiang Bai had served and eat something else.

"Master, aren't you going to drink the soup?" Jiang Bai looked at her with a smile. Since Hu Tao wasn't drinking it, neither was he.

All three pairs of eyes turned to Hu Tao.

Guoba tilted his head, wondering what they were doing.

At this point, Hu Tao had no choice but to drink it.

She picked up the soup spoon with an indifferent expression, took a sip, and shrugged calmly. "I just didn't want to drink soup at the beginning."

Seeing that Hu Tao had nothing on her, Jiang Bai picked up the soup with some skepticism and took a small sip.

The moment the soup touches the tip of your tongue, an incredibly sweet taste rushes to your tongue, leaving your entire mouth with nothing but sweetness.

Just as Xiangling was on tenterhooks and Hu Tao was looking on with amusement, Jiang Bai suddenly appeared delighted and downed the entire bowl of the cloyingly sweet soup in one gulp.

Hu Tao's face immediately turned as bitter as a bitter gourd. Not only did she fail to play a prank on Jiang Bai, she also ended up drinking a mouthful of cloyingly sweet soup.
