Chapter 290: A Delicious "Breakfast"
As the long night finally gave way to dawn, the chaos of last night seed like a forgotten dream.
“Boss, boss!”
Early in the morning, Li ng's door was knocked on.
Not long after, with a “click,” the door opened.
“Boss, let’s go explore the maze!”
Outside the door, A and the two others looked at their boss with eager anticipation.
“Do you all have adventurer identification?”
The three nodded quickly and pulled out their individual identity cards from their pockets.
These were akin to identity docunts, containing various information about adventurers.
“Stay at the tavern and rest honestly for the day. We’ll set out tomorrow!”
Doing anything today would be pointless. Susan would die today, triggering death rewind.
“Oh!”
A lowered her head in disappointnt.
“Boss, can we go out to play?”
Amay looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Amay’s suggestion lit up A and Ay's eyes. As demi-humans, the three had boundless energy. Asking them to stay in the tavern all day felt worse than death.
“No, no one is leaving the tavern today. Anyone who dares to sneak out will have their behinds dealt with!”
Hearing this, the three quickly covered their bottoms.
Although the day would eventually end in death rewind, there was still so ti before that happened.
If the three left the tavern, they might attract the Brotherhood Thieves' attention.
Li ng didn’t want to see the three little ones captured and tornted.
Even though death rewind would erase their mories, he would rember everything.
Knowing himself well, Li ng realized he was a madman prone to extre reactions.
If such a thing happened, he might destroy the entire maze city in retaliation.
“Boss, a whole day is too long. It’s boring to do nothing.”
A’s protest was quickly echoed by Amay and Ay.
“I’ll be heading out soon. You can co along with .”
Before death rewind, he had to visit the slums.
“Yay! Boss, don’t sneak off without us!”
Though they didn’t know where the boss was headed or what he planned to do, they didn’t care.
As long as they could leave the tavern and explore outside, the reason didn’t matter.
“Let’s go eat breakfast!”
Li ng stepped out of the room and headed for the stairs.
The three girls followed him excitedly.
“Boss, where are we going today?”
Trailing behind him, A asked curiously.
“To the slums in the northern city.”
“Boss, why are we going there?” Amay asked, puzzled.
Why would the boss go to a place like the slums?
“Just to have a look around.”
Just to have a look around?
The three girls rolled their eyes.
The boss wouldn’t do sothing so pointless. He must have a legitimate reason for visiting the slums.
Soon, Li ng and the girls reached the tavern’s dining area.
They sat at a table in a secluded corner.
As soon as they were seated, Sophia appeared, pushing a wooden serving cart filled with food—bread, barley porridge, and roasted at.
“What would you like to eat?” Sophia asked with a smile.
The three girls raised their hands eagerly.
“at! I want at!”
“ too!”
“at, at, at!”
Their choice didn’t surprise Sophia. Smiling, she placed three plates before them, adding slices of golden roasted at. Finally, she served each a bowl of barley porridge to balance the richness of the at.
“What about you, sir?” Sophia turned to Li ng, who wore his signature black robe.
Li ng casually extended a hand, brushing it against her curvaceous hips.
Sophia blushed and shot him a glare.
With his appetite, Li ng could devour everything on the cart and still feel unsatisfied. Moreover, cooked food wasn’t to his taste.
Compared to food, he craved Sophia herself.
Standing up, Li ng said, “Let’s go to the kitchen. I’ll find sothing I want there.”
Sophia’s cheeks flushed even more, but she didn’t refuse, pushing the cart toward the kitchen.
“Eat up. I’ll be back soon!” Li ng called to the three girls before following Sophia.
Watching their boss leave, A pouted.
“The boss slls like that again—sneaky and sly!”
“What sll, A?” Ay asked curiously.
Amay also turned her attention to A.
Tearing off a large chunk of at, A chewed as she muttered, “The kind of sll Dad had when he wanted to bully Mom.”
Hearing this, Amay and Ay's eyes lit up.
“Oh, so that’s what it is. I knew it slled familiar.”
“Boss really isn’t picky, huh? As long as it’s curvy and big, he’s happy,” Amay comnted, glancing at the boss’s departing figure.
“In ape-man tribes, wouldn’t that male be killed for this?”
A rembered the male ape-man couple at the tavern.
Shaking her head, she replied, “I don’t think so. Boss isn’t one to take responsibility.”
“Besides, he isn’t an ape-man. Why would he follow their customs?”
Amay shrugged indifferently. Strength naturally attracted the weak, and such matters didn’t need overthinking.
anwhile, in the kitchen, Sophia’s body pressed against the door as Li ng stood behind her.
The room echoed with creaking sounds.
Sophia whispered breathily, “Hans is out gathering fruit for brewing liquor.”
“For making ‘Upper Wine’?” Li ng asked distractedly.
