Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 473 - 3: Revival of Humanity

Inside the private room.

Su Ziyu picked up a thin slice of lamb with his chopsticks, swirled it in the bubbling red oil base, and then dipped it in the pre-made sauce in his bowl. As he took a bite, the rich aroma of the meat and the perfect level of spiciness made him feel a satisfying sense of happiness.

"Whew!"

Su Ziyu couldn’t help but let out a long breath, raising his hand to place the beef tripe, meatballs, beef, and river shrimp into the hotpot.

This was his usual habit.

Every time he ate hotpot, he would start with some meat to fill his stomach a bit. Once a plate of meat settled in his belly, he could leisurely savor the flavors within.

"Eat."

"Aren’t you hungry?" Su Ziyu looked up at the three people in front of him.

The two women and one man were staring at him intently. Now everyone had snapped back to reality. Thinking about what happened at the beginning made them break out into a cold sweat, and they secretly guessed Su Ziyu’s identity. However, all three were a bit timid, continuously exchanging glances, too afraid to speak first and offend this mysterious man of unknown background.

"Oh..." Liu Meng was the first to pick up her chopsticks and place some tofu skin into the hotpot.

Beside her, Huanhuan couldn’t help but secretly size up Su Ziyu and secretly squeezed her friend’s thigh as if suggesting something.

Su Ziyu didn’t bother with their small actions.

Gulp.

Su Ziyu picked up a drink and poured a glass. After drinking it, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows, looking at it before casually placing it aside.

At this moment.

An unbelievable scene happened.

Su Ziyu’s originally pale complexion gradually regained a touch of rosiness, and his sunken cheeks subtly plumped up, as though he was performing a magic trick. Just by eating two plates of meat, he seemed to have undergone a transformation, no longer appearing like someone recovering from a severe illness but exuding a vibrant presence, radiant and handsome, with an extraordinary charisma. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The signs of zombification were disappearing.

Su Ziyu’s expression also showed a hint of surprise, muttering, "My lost humanity actually restored itself."

What exactly is humanity?

Su Ziyu was not entirely sure now, but humanity certainly included desire. And now, during this hotpot meal, he gradually regained his lost humanity, and the satisfaction brought by tasting delicious food became increasingly apparent as his humanity restored.

"You..." The three people in front of him were utterly flabbergasted.

This was practically a transformation.

At first, Su Ziyu looked like a cold vampire, although he was quite handsome, he carried a chilling aura that made people uneasy. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so afraid to speak.

But now, Su Ziyu wasn’t so terrifying, looking like a normal person, just a bit more handsome.

With the Charm Enhancement in the background, Su Ziyu attracted attention whether he liked it or not. The change brought by charm wasn’t significant in terms of looks, but the innate allure was undeniable.

If it weren’t for the strong killing aura on Su Ziyu, which could silence them with just one glance, these three would have probably spoken up long ago.

"Been in closed cultivation too long."

"Lacking nutrition, just replenished now." Su Ziyu thought for a moment and casually explained.

His weight was gradually recovering.

Similarly, the revival of his humanity also opened up Su Ziyu’s appetite, prompting him to pick up a large plate of beef and lamb without hesitation. He dipped them in sauce and devoured them.

Satisfaction.

He hadn’t eaten so heartily in a long time.

Closed cultivation?

Upon hearing Su Ziyu’s words, the three present couldn’t help but brainstorm together, being struck by the illusion that they had indeed encountered a master.

After all, in the Huaxia Land, everyone understood the significance of the words closed cultivation.

"Hero."

"Senior?"

"Want some alcohol?" The man beside him gritted his teeth and couldn’t resist speaking up, "Shall I get you some alcohol? White liquor? Beer?"

"I’m Liu Haoran, you can call me Little Liu."

Being young people who had lived through the information explosion era.

They weren’t as scared anymore, but inside, they were excited, feeling as if a chance to change their fates lay right in front of them.

This man had a flattering look on his face and secretly nudged his sister.

"You read too much fiction."

Su Ziyu couldn’t help but smile and shook his head, "My surname is Su, I’m not much older than you."

"Brother Su." The fellow was truly adept at turning a situation to his advantage, grinning, "How about I get you a bottle of Maotai?"

He was a bit dazed when they first met, but now he was quite lively.

Su Ziyu smiled, shook his head, "No need."

After saying this, his hand suddenly brought out a peculiar Crimson Gold Gourd from under the table, filled it with a disposable cup, thought for a moment, and poured another three small cups, about a sixty percent fill, and suggested, "Take it and drink."

"Drink slowly."

After all, they were the first living people he met upon returning, it could be considered their good fortune.

The three of them were frightened by Su Ziyu, and it was possible they would suffer from minor ailments due to their anxiety, considering their weak constitution. Su Ziyu casually helped them recover a bit.

A trace of unusual liquor fragrance permeated the air.

The Crimson Gold Gourd caught their attention as soon as it appeared, and Liu Haoran’s eyes brightened even more. Initially, he thought he had encountered a ghost-catching exorcist, but this wasn’t any exorcist; this was a legendary cultivator!
