In the next few days, Mary would look for Guding several times a day. In addition to three meals a day, supper and story time every night have become necessary items.
It took Guding several days to finish telling his story.
From meeting the Emperor of the Sea on Planet Aquamarine until he was caught in the abyss.
During this period, Mary also said some things about herself. However, she has basically done nothing but practice in recent years. Therefore, most of the time, she is listening to Gu Ding.
After listening to Guding's story, Mary was also quite curious about the members of the Guding Pirates, and of course, raised many questions.
"Is Bigger really a human race? Why is he about the same size as a Viking?"
"The difference in size between men and women of the Vikings is so big, it would be very inconvenient for men and women to do many things together. For example, girls will be stepped on accidentally, and..."
"Why is there a gender distinction in the mechanical race? Then how should they distinguish between men and women?"
"Is Scarlet really prettier than many girls? Does he have boys chasing after him?"
…
Gu Ding was able to answer some of these questions, but he really couldn't answer some questions.
A few days of leisure time passed quickly, and the story has been told. And this evening, Mary invited Guding to the astrologer again.
Facing the table full of barbecue, Gu Ding raised his eyebrows, "Are you trying to compete with me?"
"That's right, I haven't won once before, and I want to win it back this time!" Mary clenched her fists tightly and said.
"That depends on your ability, and I won't let you go." Gu Ding said with a grin.
"Who wants you to give in?!" Mary curled her lips.
"Starting at nine o'clock, ten minutes, let's see who eats more! It is forbidden to use any power and supernatural power!" Gu Ding formulated the rules of the game.
"Okay!" Mary had no objection, her eyes fixed on the time on her wrist.
Less than two minutes later, at exactly nine o'clock, the two quickly started.
Guding and Mary moved almost in the same way. They both held a thigh in each hand, and finished one thigh in a few mouthfuls, and then the second one. Before the second one was finished, the third one started...
Almost every three or four seconds, a thigh becomes a bone.
There is less and less meat on the table, and more and more bones on the ground.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and nearly half of the barbecue on the table had been cleaned up, and hundreds of bones were piled up on the ground.
"It's time!" Gu Ding yelled after biting off the last bite of meat.
The two of them had greasy faces, but they didn't expect to wash it, but asked for the result immediately.
"Didn't you see it? It's much improved than before." Gu Ding said with a smile, "How many roots have you eaten?"
"181!" Mary said proudly.
"So amazing!" Gu Ding showed a surprised expression, "It seems that you won this time, and I only ate 180 sticks."
"Hmph, it's not a good boy to lie. I counted and you got 183. I lost..." Mary curled her lips.
Gu Ding did not expect that Mary also counted the number on her side. "Are you sure? Maybe I counted wrong."
Mary smiled and said nothing, she knew that Guding wanted to think about herself.
"You look the same as before, you turn into a little cat every time you eat." Gu Ding joked with a smile.
"You're still the same, and you're still talking about me!" Mary thought of the old days again.
"Wash up." After a moment of silence, Mary handed over a bottle of water.
She also took a bottle herself, sprinkled some on her hands, and wiped it on her face, all the grease and food crumbs were wiped off. Then she rinsed her mouth again.
Gu Ding was a little curious about what the liquid in the bottle was, and he smelled a fragrance as soon as he poured it into his hand. After all, he was a pharmacist, and he could smell it as soon as he smelled it.
"Exorcism grass?! You are so extravagant to use this kind of thing as face wash?"
Exorcism Grass is a special medicinal material for dispelling inner demons. Of course, in addition to getting rid of demons, it actually has the effect of purifying all things. But this is a rare medicinal herb, and every plant placed in the chaotic universe is worth comparable to a true king's supernatural power.
"It's not just the water for washing your face, it's also the water for bathing." Mary laughed.
"It's the life of a local tyrant." Gu Ding shook his head helplessly, wiped it, washed his face, and took a few gulps.
Mary called someone to clean it up, and the two sat down on the stone bench of the observatory.
Until the visitor finished cleaning up, both of them were silent for a long time.
"Brother Guding, do you want to leave?" After all, it was Mary who broke the silence and asked this question that she was reluctant to ask.
"I think, I still have friends outside. They should be very anxious and worried now. Besides, I still have a lot of things to do, and I haven't found the answers to many things I want to know..." Gu Ding nodded frankly.
"But... I can't bear you..." Mary didn't hide her reluctance either.
"You are doing well now, and I am very relieved. Although the abyss is not a good place, I can see that many people here really care about you. Moreover, with your current strength, I don't have to worry about it. Your safety is in danger, it's good if you don't bully others." Gu Ding joked with a smile.
"I'll come back to see you when I'm done working for a while. When I'm free in the future, I'll also find time to bring my friends to play with you." Gu Ding promised.
"You said this, don't go back on your word!" Mary said with a serious expression on her face.
"Of course I won't regret it!" Gu Ding nodded.
"When are you going to leave?"
"The sooner the better, if possible, it's best to leave early tomorrow morning." Gu Ding knew that he had lost enough time here.
"Brother Guding is going to get married this time, right?" Mary sighed in a low voice.
"Tagore and Blue must be found first. I don't want any important people to be missing at my wedding. If possible, I also hope that you can be there. But... I'd better wait until after the wedding is over before bringing Elizabeth to your side, so that You two get to know each other." Gu Ding knew that with Mary's current status, it was really not suitable to appear in the chaotic universe of the human race, and the Temple of Heavenly Demon would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Brother Guding's wedding, I will definitely go. I will find a way to make my people disguise as human beings. It's just a one-day wedding, and no one will recognize it. At that time, Brother Guding only needs to send an invitation to tell me The time for the wedding will be fine." Mary said very seriously.
Seeing Mary's serious expression, Gu Ding couldn't say no, so he could only nod and agree, "Okay, I will send you an invitation card. If you can't be there then, don't force it. You are my sister, and I know you Your mind is enough."
The two chatted for a while, and soon after midnight, two maids came to pick Mary up.
And Guding also returned to his residence.
After Mary returned to the room, she sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Tears welled up in her eyes. After a long silence, she whispered, "Brother Guding, do you really know what I mean..."
