In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 295: Eating Through the City

If those secret guards ever discovered that their intelligence network was being used to investigate pastry shops, they would probably feel rather depressed.

"I’ve been so hungry lately and they won’t even let me eat my fill!" Yue Mingxuan complained.

Of course, he knew that Shang Qinghua and Yin Su were acting out of concern for him, but that did not change the fact that he was hungry.

"It’s alright, it’s alright. As long as you’re enjoying yourself."

Even as he said that, Rong Qinglei could not help feeling startled by Yue Mingxuan’s appetite.

Just how many days had he gone without eating properly?

How could he possibly eat so much?

Naturally, Rong Qinglei had no idea that Yue Mingxuan had recently begun cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

Nor did he know that ever since Yue Mingxuan started practicing it his appetite also had grown tremendously.

"Eat slowly, take your time," Rong Qinglei continued and urging him gently while bringing over another small plate of food. "This is the shop’s crystal rice cake. It’s also very delicious."

"They’re all rice and flour pastries. Don’t they have any meat?" Although these delicate little snacks tasted quite good, Yue Mingxuan still felt that the meal was lacking something without meat.

A life without meat, after all, was simply not a complete life.

While musing about all sorts of strange thoughts, Yue Mingxuan reached out and took hold of Rong Qinglei’s hand.

His hand was soft and warm.

Even though he had begun practicing martial arts recently, the touch of his skin was still gentle and delicate.

Rong Qinglei on the other hand was completely stunned by the boneless softness of that small hand.

He had never expected Yue Mingxuan’s hand to be so soft, nor had he imagined that Yue Mingxuan would take the initiative to hold his hand.

"Come on. I remember that the beggar’s chicken from the shop in the north of the city is especially delicious," Rong Qinglei said with a smile as he led Yue Mingxuan toward the northern part of the city.

Along the way there were many stalls selling food.

The area was extremely prosperous with countless merchants doing business there and naturally there were crowds of people moving about everywhere.

"It’s still quite a distance to the north of the city," Yue Mingxuan said as he looked at the lively surroundings. "Can we stop and eat at every shop along the way?"

"Of course we can!" That was exactly what Rong Qinglei had hoped for.

He had always wanted to take Yue Mingxuan around to taste every delicacy in the city.

In truth, that was not even his final goal.

What he really wanted was to take Yue Mingxuan around the entire world and let him taste everything it had to offer.

Since Yue Mingxuan liked it, he was more than willing to accompany him.

He hoped that Yue Mingxuan could continue eating happily like this without being troubled by other worries.

Of course, he knew very well that such a thing would not be easy.

All he could do was try his best to protect Yue Mingxuan, then accompany him as they ate and drank their way through the nearby streets, hoping it might lift Yue Mingxuan’s spirits.

"That’s wonderful!" Yue Mingxuan was so happy that he nearly jumped with excitement.

Neither Shang Qinghua nor Yin Su ever wanted him to eat too much.

Ever since he had started cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Mystery, however, he felt as though he had never once eaten a truly satisfying meal. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

It was not that the two of them were deliberately restricting him out of cruelty.

Rather, no matter how much he ate, he always felt as though he could never be full.

The sensation was quite strange and difficult to describe.

"Today I’m definitely going to eat as much as I can!" Yue Mingxuan did not reveal the real reason behind his appetite, but Rong Qinglei still looked at him with a deeply indulgent expression.

"No matter how much you eat today, I’ll pay for it all."

After hearing that, Yue Mingxuan felt even more at ease.

When it came to money, Rong Qinglei was far more generous than Shang Qinghua.

Shang Qinghua always seemed to find ways to squeeze money out of him whereas Rong Qinglei was nothing like that.

No matter how one looked at it, Rong Qinglei’s attitude suited Yue Mingxuan perfectly.

He felt that Rong Qinglei’s way of treating him was the proper one, because Shang Qinghua’s behavior was simply too excessive.

Yet despite that, Yue Mingxuan still found that he could not bring himself to truly resent Shang Qinghua.

"This shop’s beggar’s chicken is the one I was talking about," Rong Qinglei said.

Even though they had already eaten quite a lot along the way, Yue Mingxuan still felt that he was not completely full.

Perhaps it was because he had been so hungry over the past few days.

"Is this the last shop?" Yue Mingxuan said as he rubbed his stomach.

Although it was not round and bulging, he could finally feel the faintest hint of fullness.

In truth, Yue Mingxuan himself had no idea where all the food he ate actually went.

His body looked so thin and frail that it hardly seemed capable of consuming so much.

No matter how much he ate, his body would always return to its original shape by the next day.

Perhaps it was because this body possessed peerless internal energy.

Still, aside from that, there might also be other reasons behind it.

If the people in his previous life who desperately wanted to lose weight could hear Yue Mingxuan’s thoughts at this moment, they would probably feel extremely jealous.

But this body of Yue Mingxuan’s simply worked that way.

"Mingxuan, you really did eat a lot today," Rong Qinglei said.

He was not worried about his purse running empty, money was something he did not lack.

What truly concerned him was whether eating so much might be bad for Yue Mingxuan’s health.
