Chapter 341 - I Choose Buffets

The eyes of the female ghost glanced at the faraway room. It was easy to say that the woman was not completely insane, but she was acting way out of line. Moreover, she was really smelling so good; no wonder something had bitten her arm off.

Still, the thing that was supposed to give off the thing that induced the delicious stuff, there was no more thing to get interested in. Ye Ling could only sigh inwardly and stick to the nourishment channeling from Guangru. "If the source is indeed taken down, then… it's probably the Mian shamans who should give service.

"Her body's really becoming like a ball of negative energy. Coupling it with her traumatic experience and mental state, it's very possible that she would be haunted forever, and that wound would never close." Ye Ling walked like she was prancing in the rain. "Should I ask Guangru to take a look?"

"Wouldn't that be too much help?" Wang Yusheng made a wry smile, but Ye Ling shook her head. She even said, "Guangru and Xiaodan are trying to gain the support of the Mian family. Proving that they could do more things than just eating entities would probably elevate their already below-ground status in the Shaman Association."

Her eyes then narrowed. "If only Xiaodan was not trying to be human anymore, he could have directly attacked the Qiao family. Then again, he decided to be one. Now, we're all going through the crawl." She realized something and shrugged her shoulders. "Still, Xiaodan is a master to us no matter how everyone sees it.

"We will still abide by the rules he does and by the laws of life he wants to keep. Whether he wishes to completely disregard life and death or not, it will all be dependent on him. We can only go where he tells us."

"Xiaodan is your master? Not Guangru?" Wang Yusheng heard of something rather interesting. Guangru really sounded like the one calling the shots instead.

"…everyone else follows him, not Guangru. I don't follow either, and that is because I have my own path… my own person to protect." Ye Ling smiled deeply. "I still haven't thanked you for saving my Ruan Lang when I can't even be with him. Like Xiaodan, we will repay everything we owe. If you need something, you can just ask."

Wang Yusheng only smiled, but he didn't answer. He figured he didn't need anything, and even if he did, he wouldn't rely on these dirty things. He was given knowledge in medical science and a bunch of powerful human friends. What could he be lacking?

"How about asking Heilong to give me a paid vacation?"

…

As if nothing had happened in the afternoon, Chuan Nayi and Liu Xiaodan continued with their plans. With the police handling the bombing incident, they couldn't be caught snooping around. Moreover, the henchmen would probably be taking steps way further than the police in that one. If anything, Liu Xiaodan would just look for Wang Yusheng if he needed a word from any of them.

For now, he was on many first dates with Chuan Nayi. Right now, they managed to regain their playful sides and started to act like acquaintances only but in their way to have a good relationship. He didn't know why Chuan Nayi decided to play this game, but he was willing to play the game with her.

They were walking along the mall, sightseeing now that the vibes had changed. It was already dark outside, and Liu Xiaodan wanted Chuan Nayi to choose where they would be eating. This woman was unlike the others who didn't want to decide on anything and keep on rejecting offers. Chuan Nayi asked for a buffet, and so they would find the nearest buffet.

'I don't know why it feels really strange.' Chuan Nayi kept her hands on her purse. 'Why is he not looking at me?'

'I have to concentrate. Cool guys don't stare at women all the time.' Liu Xiaodan just kept on browsing the store names in front of him. He was trying to figure out the mall's layout. 

He wasn't storing useless things in his memory seal, and he really didn't want to rely on it all that much. It was too great an item, but overdependence on it might rust his already low-quality brain.

Since they were freely walking, there was a time when someone almost bumped into Chuan Nayi. She only wanted to step to the side, but Liu Xiaodan pulled her close to him. He didn't think much when he did so, even looking down at the woman pressed against his side. Her hand was even on his c.h.e.s.t. "Are you alright?"

"…" Chuan Nayi only stared up at him and forgot how to move. For some reason, it felt like Liu Xiaodan's body was becoming… firmer? It wasn't soft like before. Was he doing something that she was not aware of? Wait, no… these weren't muscles. She quickly looked down and moved her hand below the c.h.e.s.t.

"Miss Chuan, ahem." Liu Xiaodan suppressed the blush and guilt as he grabbed her wrist. He also moved his arms to separate the two of them. She probably felt that corset that Tang Mingming shoved him into just to make that nice silhouette. "Are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm… I'm okay." Chuan Nayi sighed as she hooked some hair behind her ear. Be it the false persona of Miss Chuan or her real self as Liu Xiaodan's girlfriend, she was about to do something embarrassing. No, no, what if Liu Xiaodan stopped trying because she looked like she was making fun of him? "I didn't mean to feel you up—"

Frown. Chuan Nayi suddenly frowned at the non-existent script in her mind. No, was that the real line?

Pfft! Knowing that it could be either a real mistake or an intentional line, Liu Xiaodan couldn't help but stifle his laughter against his fist. He then cleared his throat and proceeded with another set. "Miss Chuan, do you like coming to buffets? Do five-star restaurants not interest you?"

"Hm?" Chuan Nayi quickly reeled in her thoughts and focused on the life-saving skill that Liu Xiaodan was giving her. She then erased the embarrassment from earlier. "Not really. I just prefer selecting what I want to eat and how much I want to eat of it. Also, I can take desserts along with my entrée. No five-star restaurant would opt for that choice so I chose buffets over them."

"I see. Buffets then." Liu Xiaodan noted in his head. He didn't really notice that Chuan Nayi didn't like restaurants, and so he ended up taking her to them from time to time. Now that he did, he would change his ways. Damn, this roleplay was starting to become a real thing.

Soon, they arrived at the buffet. They got sat, and Chuan Nayi was the first to pick the food. Liu Xiaodan was left at the table, and he took out his phone. He continued to take a look at the movies before noticing that someone actually sat at their table next to him. His eyes actually moved and took a look at the thing.

"Excuse me, I have to get my food later. Do you want to swap seats with me?" Liu Xiaodan murmured, but the thing didn't even pay attention to him.

"Oh, shit, Xiaodan, is that you?"
