Lu Linsheng was swallowed by many monsters when he was weak, and now he is strong enough to swallow many big monsters. This is the first time he finds that there are things he cannot eat.
After swallowing this thing, he didn't feel the "spicy" that Bai Ling said, it was just the body's natural rejection reaction, forcing him to spit out the "foreign object" on his own initiative. Lu Linsheng himself was also surprised. After the surprise, it was unyielding. Why couldn't he accept something that Bai Ling liked? His obsession was so deep that he was also very concerned about such a small matter. After spitting it out, he kept thinking with a wooden face.
Seeing him like this, Bai Ling thought he was uncomfortable because of the chili peppers, so she forced him to drink a pot of water. Unconsciously, she became closer and closer to Lu Linsheng. Before, Lu Linsheng was patient and accommodating to her, but the scene of him swallowing demons without hesitation still left some impact on her. Now, because he vomited because of the spicy food after eating a few chili peppers, Bai Ling thought he was cute.
"You can't eat spicy food. If a monster is covered in chili peppers next time, will you still eat it?"
Lu Linsheng was stumped by Bai Ling's tricky questions, and finally said, "I'll give it a try next time."
Bai Ling thought about the scene - Lu Linsheng grabbed a monster with a strange shape, dipped it in chili water, and then ate it, then spit it out halfway through. The monster that was spit out halfway through was not dead yet - no, let's not think about it anymore, the scene makes people lose their appetite.
"I'll grind some chili powder for you. If you want to try, it's more convenient to just sprinkle it." Bai Ling wasn't lying. With her current strength, she didn't even need a grinding wheel to grind chili powder. She could just use her hands to easily crush a handful of dried chilies into powder.
"Let me tell you, if the chili seeds are fried and then ground into powder, they will taste delicious!" She pinched the chili powder while walking and also taught Lu Linsheng some ways to eat chili.
After walking for a while, she pinched a bag of chili powder and gave it to Lu Linsheng, "Take it and eat it."
Since it was a gift from her, Lu Linsheng of course gladly accepted it. He didn't feel any rejection at all because of the vomiting he had experienced before, and he used it right away.
Bai Ling: “…”
Lu Linsheng wrapped a fanged monster with bulging eyes and slippery skin, and sprinkled chili powder on him with a slightly clumsy movement. The monster's face was covered with chili powder and it was extremely furious. It opened its bloody mouth and screamed and struggled. It was hit by another mouthful of chili powder and was almost killed on the spot by Lu Linsheng. Bai Ling wanted to persuade him to give up and stop wasting food.
After eating the monster sprinkled with chili powder, Lu Linsheng didn't react. Bai Ling was relieved to see that he looked normal, "See, I said slightly spicy is fine."
As soon as Bai Ling walked away, Lu Linsheng covered his chest and vomited behind the tree with an expressionless face. He turned back to his original form to vomit. The thin and long figure wrapped in black silk thread opened a dark hole and vomited out half of the remains. The monster that had not been completely digested stared at him with its big eyes. Lu Linsheng turned back to his scholarly appearance and looked into the eyes. Seeing that the eyes were rolling around, he stepped into the soil and sank deeply.
When Bai Ling came back, he was already sitting under the tree waiting for her. The image of the thin scholar was exactly the same as the bunch of white wild flowers at his feet, and the two complemented each other. Bai Ling found it interesting, so she plucked the bunch of wild flowers, and threw them to Lu Linsheng with a laugh. Lu Linsheng happily caught them and held them in his hands all the way.
Later on the way, Lu Linsheng started to eat in such a "particular" way, and he ate very voraciously, and the bag of chili powder that Bai Ling gave him was soon used up.
Bai Ling was a little surprised, "You like chili peppers so much? I can't tell you couldn't eat it at first." But she was of course very happy to have a fellow enthusiast who liked the same food as her, and she pinched some dried chili powder for him.
"If you want to eat me, just eat me. Why do you have to torture me with this kind of thing?" The demon being eaten cried out before dying. Lu Linsheng remained unmoved, and sprinkled a wave of chili powder on him with familiar movements, and then swallowed him.
Bai Ling basically didn't watch him eat now, she just waited for him to finish. She always thought that Lu Linsheng could eat spicy food, and even liked the taste, but when they were together, it was impossible for them to be flawless forever. Bai Ling accidentally ran into Lu Linsheng who had turned back to his original form and vomited in the corner, and she discovered the truth.
"Can't you eat chili peppers at all?" Bai Ling asked Lu Linsheng while standing in front of him.
Lu Linsheng was caught red-handed, still in his dark original form. He forgot to change back into human form for a moment and subconsciously covered his body to cover the monster's remains that were vomited out from behind him.
Bai Ling was so angry that she wanted to pull his ears, but he didn't even have eyes, so how could he have ears? So she said angrily: "Turn into a human!"
Lu Linsheng turned back to human form and glanced at her, a little panicked. Bai Ling raised her hand to pull his ear, "If you can't eat it, you have to tell me that you can't eat it. What's the point of being so stubborn? You will suffer and your body will be damaged, you fool!"
Lu Linsheng tilted his head and looked at her flatteringly: "I can eat it. I can eat more when I eat more."
Bai Ling wanted to hit him to wake his head, but she gave up thinking that she was too strong and grabbed his head and shook it, "Listen for yourself, is there water making a sound in here?"
Lu Linsheng listened and heard no sound, so he said, "No sound."
Bai Ling was so angry that she laughed and scolded him, "Don't talk to me about this. You can't eat chili peppers. You are not allowed to eat them from now on! Do you hear me?"
Lu Linsheng bent over in a strange posture and answered devoutly, "I heard you. I won't eat it anymore."
Most of the time he takes this attitude of doing what Bai Ling says, but there are occasional exceptions.
Bai Ling couldn't bear to see the weak and pitiful people. When she saw them, she was willing to help them if she could. When they saw people being persecuted by wandering demons on the road, they would stop to help clear out the man-eating demons around them. If they met someone who was too poor, she would help them and give them a few pearls so that they could exchange them for money to buy food. This was a problem. Lu Linsheng didn't want to see her giving pearls to people.
"Why did you give them pearls?" Lu Linsheng looked at her without smiling for the first time.
Bai Ling's head was full of question marks. "I have a lot of these ordinary pearls. What's wrong with giving a few to them?"
Lu Linsheng shook his head, looking a little scary, and said, "Don't give me pearls."
Bai Ling thought, this boy is a bit stingy, he is reluctant to give away a few pearls. She suddenly thought of her grandpa and grandma. Her grandma spent money lavishly, and her grandpa always controlled her and didn't allow her to spend money recklessly. When she was a child, she always thought her grandpa was stingy, and her grandma smiled and hugged her and kissed her, whispering to her, "When your grandpa buys things for me, he is never stingy. He is like this, stingy to others and himself, but generous to me."
The two people's train of thought went their separate ways, but in the end, miraculously, they reached a harmonious consensus without any communication.
Lu Linsheng took out a piece of gold and said, "Why not give them this?"
Just like Bai Ling had her own dragon spirit bag, Lu Linsheng also had his own storage place, filtering the things from the monsters in a mess. He had eaten so much, so it was inevitable that he had eaten a few wealthy monsters, and they had a lot of money on them, but he hadn't thought of using it before. Now he took it all out and gave it to Bai Ling, "Don't give me pearls, give me these."
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment and thought, wow, it turns out that he is not stingy, but he just can't bear to let me use my own money, and would rather I use his.
This… What a good match! This is the kind of boyfriend she wanted back then! He’s good-looking, has a good personality, and treats the women in the house well like her grandfather. Although they can’t eat from the same pot, this means he won’t steal food from her.
The more Bai Ling looked at Lu Linsheng, the better she thought he was. She took out a sack of pearls from her spirit bag and gave them all to him. "These are all for you!"
Then she found that Lu Linsheng was extremely happy, holding so many pearls she gave him, laughing so hard that he almost melted. After that, Bai Ling always found that he liked to hold the pearls and look at them when he was resting. If he accidentally dropped one by the lake, he would immediately go into the water to fish it out from the mud and wash off the water on his clothes.
"You like pearls so much?"
"Yeah." Lu Linsheng smiled sweetly, as if he remembered something very good, and continued to look at her, feeling more satisfied.
Seeing him happy, Bai Ling also felt happy, and without thinking, she took out a few large golden pearls from her spirit bag. This kind of golden pearl is much more precious than ordinary white pearls and is the rarest one.
"These are for you too. The golden one looks better."
Seeing the familiar golden pearls in Bai Ling's hands, Lu Linsheng paused. There was also such a golden pearl deep in his memory. He knew it was very precious to him and he wanted to keep it forever. However, during the long process of swallowing, he was in a daze and the golden pearl disappeared at some point. Later, he searched many places but couldn't find it.
"Give these to me?" Lu Linsheng touched the golden pearls hesitantly.
"Yes." Bai Ling stuffed all the pearls into his hands, not knowing what these meant to Lu Linsheng.
Lu Linsheng felt like... a child looking up at the stars, and one day he found that all the distant stars in the sky flew into his arms. He couldn't help but hold those golden pearls tightly, and walked forward to hug Bai Ling with open arms.
When she cursed or got angry, she was so imposing that she seemed to be two meters tall, but when she was held in his arms, she was just a small ball. Lu Linsheng felt happier than when he got so many golden pearls just now. This feeling was unfamiliar. He was a little confused, and he held her reluctantly for a while before letting go.
Bai Ling came back to her senses, scratched her face, looked at the sky, looked at the tree next to her, and for a long time she didn't know what to say.
Lu Linsheng's action was too sudden. If it was someone she didn't know, Bai Ling would have hit him ten meters away with one blow, but Lu Linsheng's attack just now seemed different. He was too cautious and too happy. His deep love could be conveyed to her through his actions.
I wouldn't say I hate it, it's just a little weird and makes me feel a little embarrassed.
"Well... we..." Bai Ling hesitated for a long time, but couldn't think of what to say next. She wanted to say directly, "Why don't we be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Just as she said two words, a dark cloud suddenly floated down from the sky, and an old man with a white beard as long as an arm fell from the dark cloud. The old man was holding a blood-red coral cane in his hand. He landed in front of her and shouted, "Little Master! It's bad! Don't hang around here, come with me!"
Bai Ling: "Who are you?"
The old man was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "I am the old man Shell!"
Bai Ling subconsciously looked at the old shell on her waist. The old man hadn't spoken in the past few days, but in the past few years, when he had nothing to do, he often didn't speak for a few days. She was used to it and didn't notice anything wrong. The old man knocked on the surface of the shell with his red coral cane, and the shell opened. Bai Ling found that the shell was indeed empty.
"How did you become like this? How come I don't know when you died?" Bai Ling looked at the old man with curiosity. He had never seen the old man like this before. Since she was born, he had always been a shell. This was the first time she had seen this magical old man with a white body.
The old man waved the red coral cane in his hand and gestured excitedly, "I was injured before, so I couldn't become like this. It took me so long to get better. I left more than ten days ago... But none of this matters. The most important thing now is that you have to listen to me and find a place to hide. The farther away from the East China Sea, the better!"
