Chapter 1461

For the next few days, Mary would look for Gu Ding several times a day. In addition to three meals a day, supper and storytelling became a necessity every night.

It took Gu Ding a few days to finish telling his story.

From meeting Neptune on Cerule to being captured and brought to the Abyss.

During this time, Mary would also tell him some of her own stories. However, she had not done much other than cultivating all these years. Therefore, most of the time, she listened to Gu Ding's story.

After listening to Gu Ding's story, Mary was quite curious about the members of Gu Ding's pirate crew. Of course, she also had many questions.

"Is Biggie really a human? Why is he about the same size as a Viking? "

"There's such a big difference in size between a Viking and a Viking. It's very inconvenient for them to do things together. For example, a girl might get stepped on by a Viking, and … "

"Why does the Mechanical Tribe differentiate between genders? How do you differentiate between a man and a woman? "

"Is Phaser really better looking than most girls? Does he have a boy chasing after him? "

…

Gu Ding was able to answer some of these questions, but there were some that he really could not answer.

A few days of leisure time passed quickly, and the story was over. In the evening, Mary invited Gu Ding to the Astrology Tower again.

Looking at the table full of barbecued meat, Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. "Are you trying to compete with me?"

"Yeah, I've never won before. This time, I'm going to win!" Mary clenched her small fist.

"That depends on your skills. I won't go easy on you." Gu Ding grinned.

"Who wants you to go easy on me?!" Mary pouted.

"We'll start at nine o 'clock. You have ten minutes to see who can eat more! No power or divine power is allowed! "Gu Ding laid out the rules of the competition.

"Okay!" Mary had no objections. She stared at the time on her wrist.

In less than two minutes, it was nine o 'clock sharp. The two of them quickly started eating.

Gu Ding and Mary's movements were almost identical. They each held a thigh in their hands and finished one in a few bites. Then, they started on the second one. Before the second one was finished, they started on the third one …

Every three to four seconds, a thigh would turn into bone.

There was less meat on the table and more bones on the ground.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Half of the roasted meat on the table had been cleared, and hundreds of bones were piled up on the ground.

"Time's up!" Gu Ding took the last bite of meat and shouted.

Their faces were covered in grease, but they didn't think to wash it. Instead, they immediately asked for the result.

"I couldn't tell, but you've improved a lot." Gu Ding smiled. "How many have you eaten?"

"181!" Mary said with a smug expression.

"So powerful!" Gu Ding's face was full of surprise. "Looks like you've won this time. I only ate 180 sticks."

"Hmph, it's not good to lie. I've counted. Yours is 183. I've lost … "Mary curled her lips.

Gu Ding did not expect Mary to count the number of people on his side. "Are you sure? Maybe I counted wrongly. "

Mary smiled but did not say a word. She knew that Gu Ding wanted her to look at him.

"You look the same as before. Every time you eat, you turn into a little tabby cat," Gu Ding teased with a smile.

"Aren't you the same? How dare you talk about me!" Mary remembered the days of the past.

"Wash up." After a moment of silence, Mary took a bottle of water and handed it over.

She took a bottle for herself and sprinkled some on her hands. She wiped her face, wiping off the grease and food crumbs. Then, she rinsed her mouth.

Gu Ding was a little curious about the liquid in the bottle. As soon as he poured it into his hands, he smelled a fragrance. After all, he was a pharmacologist. He could tell with a sniff.

"Exorcism Herb?! You're so extravagant that you're using this as water to wash your face? "

Exorcism Herb was a special herb used to dispel inner demons. Of course, in addition to dispelling inner demons, it also had the effect of purifying everything. However, it was a rare herb. Each stalk was worth as much as a True King Level Divine Ability in the Chaotic Universe.

"It's not just water to wash your face. It's the same for bathing." Mary smiled.

"It's the life of a nouveau riche." Gu Ding shook his head helplessly. He wiped his hands and washed his face. Then, he took a few big gulps.

Mary called for someone to clean up. The two of them sat on the stone bench of the observatory.

Both of them were silent for a long time until the person finished cleaning up.

"Big Brother Gu Ding, do you want to leave?" In the end, it was Mary who broke the silence and asked the question that she was reluctant to ask.

"Of course I do. I still have friends outside. They should be very anxious and worried. Besides, I still have a lot of things that I haven't finished. There are a lot of things that I want to know that I haven't found the answers to … "Gu Ding nodded calmly.

"But … I can't bear to leave you …" Mary did not hide her reluctance.

"You're doing well now. I'm very relieved. Although the Abyss isn't a good place, I can see that many people here really care about you. Besides, with your current strength, I don't have to worry about your safety. It's good enough that you don't bully others, "Gu Ding teased with a smile.

"When I'm done with my work, I'll come back to see you. When I'm free in the future, I'll find time to bring my friends to visit you, "Gu Ding promised.

"That's what you said. You can't go back on your word!" Mary looked serious.

"Of course I won't!" Gu Ding nodded.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"As soon as possible. If possible, it's best to leave tomorrow morning." Gu Ding knew that he had wasted enough time here.

"Big Brother Gu Ding will be getting married when we get back, right?" Mary sighed softly.

"I have to find Tagore and Blue first. I don't want my wedding to be short of anyone important. If it's possible, I'd like you to be there too. But … I'll wait until the wedding is over before I bring Elizabeth over so you two can get to know each other. " Gu Ding knew that with Mary's current identity, it was indeed not suitable for her to appear in the Human Tribe's Chaotic Universe. The Demonic Palace would not allow such a thing to happen.

"I'll definitely go to Big Brother Gu Ding's wedding. I'll find a way to disguise my people as humans. I'll only be attending the wedding for a day. No one will recognize me. When the time comes, Big Brother Gu Ding just needs to send me an invitation and tell me when the wedding will be held, "Mary said very seriously.

Seeing Mary's serious expression, Gu Ding could not say no. He could only nod and agree. "Alright, I'll send you an invitation. If you can't be there, don't force it. You're my sister. It's enough that I know how you feel. "

The two chatted for a while. Soon, it was midnight. Two maids came over to take Mary away.

Meanwhile, Gu Ding had returned to his place.

After Mary returned to her room, she sat in front of the makeup mirror and looked at herself in it. Tears welled up in her eyes. After a long silence, she whispered, "Big Brother Gu Ding, do you really know how I feel …"
