These words were naturally just a joke, these potions can barely support until the start of the college entrance exams, as for how to fill the void in the body afterwards...
"Having a al for a few hours a day, I think that’s a pretty nice way to relax."
He rubbed his chin thinking to himself, he had to admit he was good at self-reassurance.
Although after drinking the potion, the void in his body had been filled, he still planned to cook a few small dishes to eat, after all, he didn’t want to neglect his own taste buds.
Soon, he had simply cooked two small dishes, just enough for himself.
[You cooked a dinner, culinary skill level 20]
[Culinary Skill (Initial Tier): 220/300]
Honestly, the culinary skill level was increasing the fastest, every dish cooked increased the skill level by ten points, but usually, Su Tu was a bit pressed for ti with school, not having much ti to cook.
So he didn’t particularly grind the culinary skill.
He sat at the dining table and dialed his mother’s cell phone again, but there was still no answer from the other side.
"What’s going on..." Su Tu furrowed his brow, such a situation had never happened before.
In the past, no matter how busy his parents were with work, they would call him once a week, but in the past week, there hadn’t been a single call.
Interstellar work had this downside, in the past Su Tu wasn’t too worried about his parents, but ever since learning about Martial Arts Dao, the entire Star River was shrouded in a layer of mystery, and his parents not responding for a long ti made Su Tu a bit uneasy.
He found a friend on his phone with a cat icon, noted as Aunt.
"Aunt, have my parents contacted you recently?"
Aunt replied almost imdiately to Su Tu.
"What’s wrong, little Tu, I saw your parents at a research eting a few days ago, their unit recently had a joint activity, extrely busy, your mom, soone so particular, even developed a few pimples recently."
Seeing Aunt’s ssage, Su Tu finally felt relieved.
It seems that his parents were indeed too busy with work recently, which is why they hadn’t had the ti to check their phones. Su Tu had so understanding of their work nature, once they got busy, they wouldn’t even have ti to check their phones, let alone take a bathroom break without scheduling it.
"No big deal Aunt, just that they haven’t called recently, I was a bit worried. Oh, and Aunt, my parents haven’t sent living expenses recently, Zhang ng lent ten thousand yuan, you help with that, and I’ll collect it from my parents later."
Su Tu rembered that Zhang ng had covered his expenses yesterday.
"OK, recently I’ve also felt that there’s sothing off about Zhang ng’s condition. You live nearby, if there’s anything, let know, dear."
Aunt and Zhang ng were best friends playing together since childhood, staying close from elentary to university.
"Sothing off? She indeed hasn’t been her usual self lately, loves ’driving’ even more than before."
Su Tu thought of Zhang ng’s graceful figure, promised Aunt, and then packed up the two small dishes.
He decided to check on Zhang ng at her house, after all, she helped him out yesterday, and with Aunt’s words, it made sense to check in on her.
Coincidentally, the two dishes he made today were both Zhang ng’s favorites, sweet and sour pork, and sautéed three fresh vegetables.
He carried the two dishes, took the elevator, and arrived at Zhang ng’s house.
Just as he was about to press the doorbell, he suddenly felt sothing, and his hand paused slightly.
"What a chilling aura."
The security door in front was emitting an almost invisible aura, gently wafting through the gaps of the door.
The aura was extrely chilling, and just as Su Tu was about to ring the doorbell, it fell onto his hand, slightly biting.
This feeling made Su Tu extrely uncomfortable, it was an innate repulsion from the bottom of his heart, sourceless but intensely piercing.
He quickly picked up his phone and called Zhang ng.
The call was quickly connected.
"Hello... Little Tu!"
On the other end, Zhang ng sounded unwell, her voice trembling with a hint of panic.
"Zhang Sis, are you at ho?"
"I’m ho..."
"Zhang Sis, Aunt asked to check on you, and I just made two dishes, shall we eat together?"
Su Tu spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Forget it, little Tu, Sis is going to sleep, you should’ve said earlier, next ti, next ti..."
This ti Zhang ng beca very calm, but Su Tu could tell she was feigning composure.
"Alright then, Zhang Sis, what a pity, I’ll tell you in advance next ti." Su Tu said with a slight tone of regret.
Then hung up the phone.
He picked up two dishes, turned around, and walked toward the elevator.
A tiny pus-filled bulge suddenly puffed up on the peephole of Zhang ng’s door, with an eyeball at its center rolling toward the direction where Su Tu had departed, only dissipating once his silhouette disappeared.
However, what it didn’t see was the flashes of chilling coldness in Su Tu’s eyes.
...
Unlike Zhang ng’s mature and alluring exterior, her bedroom was imnsely cute, adorned with pink wallpaper and filled with adorable plush toys and ani figures.
At this mont, dark brown vines were writhing continuously on the walls, staining the pink wallpaper with a layer of gloom, while Zhang ng sat trembling slightly at the corner.
"Hehe~ you’re quite sensible, I like sensible won."
A hoarse voice with a hint of sleaze resonated throughout the room.
A short-statured man stood in front of Zhang ng, approximately one ter forty tall, resembling a child, but his face was unexpectedly handso, sowhat akin to a popular star of the Ancestor Star.
Those twisted vines extended from his back, as sinister and cold energy pervaded his presence.
Pus-filled lumps of various sizes swelled on the vines, slick and repulsive.
Zhang ng watched this grotesque scene in terror; the boss had repeatedly insisted she accompany the so-called big figure, which she was entirely reluctant to do, leading her to take a leave today instead of going to work, planning to switch jobs after a few days of mundane peace.
She had enjoyed a comfortable small slumber, waking with hunger, intending to have a al downstairs at Su Tu’s place.
But just as she got up, she found this man had unknowingly appeared before her; she wanted to call the police, yet those eerie vines penetrated the walls instantly.
She had no doubt that any movent she made would have these vines pierce through her body in an instant.
And it coincidentally happened that Su Tu called, so to avoid implicating him, she feigned calmness, claiming she had fallen asleep.
"Who are you... what do you want..." Zhang ng clamped down on her fear and spoke.
The short man’s mouth curled into a wicked grin, a vine slowly raised Zhang ng’s chin.
"Who am I? Hasn’t your boss been constantly inviting you to accompany ?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang ng’s pupils shrank abruptly; the big figure her boss had been urging her to accompany all these days was actually this monster before her!!!
"You’re the big figure my boss ntioned!"
"Hehe, woman, for low-level tribes like yours, I indeed am a big figure!" He sneered, ogling Zhang ng’s body obscenely.
"And you are privileged to rge with ; feel excited, feel joyful, feel elated."
He spoke rather neurotically before his skin began to uncoil outward, spurting copious amounts of viscous liquid along with three imnsely large vines.
"Ahhhh!!" Witnessing this scene, Zhang ng emitted a scream filled with utmost terror.
For embedded within the thick vines behind the man were three won, their bellies bulging, occasionally disfigured hands imprinting upon their stomachs, as if they were about to give birth.
Zhang ng recognized these won; they were the girls previously summoned to accompany the so-called big figure. Just a few days ago, they’d appeared young and beautiful, dreaming of a teoric rise, only to have transford into such grotesque figures now.
"No need for envy... soon, you’ll be one of them, birthing offspring for the magnificent Xie Race."
He laughed exuberantly, multiple vines swiftly reaching for Zhang ng. Seeing those girls’ tragic forms, Zhang ng sohow found a burst of strength, and unexpectedly stood up from the ground.
"To hell with that, I’d rather die than let an ugly bastard like you touch !!" She yelled angrily, forcefully propelling herself toward the patio window, preferring death over becoming that kind of existence.
But.... compared to the vines, Zhang ng was too slow....
"A futile struggle..." The creature’s eyes bore deep mockery, as if toying with her like a cat with a mouse.
Sure enough, it appeared before Zhang ng in an instant, not in a hurry to capture her, but tauntingly wriggling up and down in her view.
Indescribable shadows and despair completely devoured Zhang ng at that mont.
The creature’s arrogant and sinister laughter continuously echoed in her ears.
The vines were just about to ensnare her.
The next mont!!
Crash!!
A vigorous shattering sound erupted, followed by vines splintering in front of Zhang ng, a familiar figure appearing before her.
Su Tu stood, fist clenched forward, his hand tainted with dark green blood, he looked at Zhang ng, voice as gentle as ever.
"I knew the night owl wouldn’t go to bed early?"
"Turns out, it was getting tangled up with so bug..."
