Chapter 39): Won’t You Get Hungry Soon?

Chapter 39): Won’t You Get Hungry Soon?

Night fell, and it rained after a long time.

Raindrops pattered down from the sullen sky, and the city was shrouded in a misty haze.

In a deep and cramped alley in a village in the Xicheng District, Huacheng

A woman with an enchanting figure held a black umbrella, and her red high-heeled shoes rattled against the water-logged road.

The deeper the alley was, the dimmer the light became, and a look of panic was evident on her delicate face.

She felt like someone was following her! They were following her from the nightclub where she works to this alley!

She subconsciously sped up her face and panted lightly; the soft clacking sounds of her high heels became more and more intense.

She turned her head sideways and looked behind her through the corner of her eye.

The alley was empty, and all she saw was the rain pouring down.

Even though she didnt see anyone, she kept on guard. She took a deep breath, put away her umbrella, and rushed into the apartment building in front of her.

She entered the elevator hurriedly, and she leaned against the wall. Just as she was about to catch her breath, she saw a figure appear through the gap in the elevator door that was about to close.

It was a tall and bulky man who wore a black trench coat. The drooping brim of his hat covered his face but exposed his bearded chin.

The man stepped into the apartment lobby and looked left and right before locking eyes with the woman in the elevator.

N-no!

Her pupils shrank violently, and she frantically pressed the close button of her elevator.

Seeing the strong man get closer and closer, the woman turned pale, and she was on the verge of collapsing.

Fortunately, the man was one step too slow, and his body slammed straight into the elevator door, making a muffled Boom!

The elevator moved silently, and she exhaled the breath that she was holding.

After dozens of seconds, the elevator opened.

The corridor was dark, and the woman started to worry again.

She leaned out of the elevator, waved her hand to activate the motion-sensor light in the corridor, and looked around. She walked out hurriedly and went straight to a door on the left side of the corridor.

Standing in front of her unit, she tried to fish out the keys from her bag when she heard hurried, damp footsteps coming from the stairwell behind her

Like someone was running up in rain boots

Her hands started to tremble and sweat, and she failed to insert the key into the keyhole. Just as she felt that the man was about to appear in the corridor, the lock clicked open, and she hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.

Entering the room, she hurriedly turned around and closed the door when a big hand with black gloves blocked her from doing so.

Seeing this, she trembled violentlyher face paled, and her slender arms clasped the edge of the door tightly.

You! Who are you? What are you trying to do? Help! Help me!

Shh! Dogs like you arent allowed to talk, or should I say bark? You wouldnt want to disturb the neighbours with our fun, would you?

The woman purred in an ambiguous tone, but the smirk that was on her mouth said otherwise. Lust was present in her eyes, and she immediately hit the mans head with a crowbar.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the bedboard broke, and the mans deformed head sank into the crack of the bedboard.

After a while, the lights in the room were turned on.

The man, half human, half dog, lay motionless on the bed. A hole the size of a fist was on his chest, and it bled constantly.

Miss Rabbit leaned against the wall and sneered.

She looked at the heart in her hand playfully before devouring it in a single bite.

Feeling the Primordial Spirit surge in her body, she licked the corners of her lips.

Thats the third one. My strength will recover soon, she purred. Soon, Ill be able to find that person, and Ill claim my prize.

Although she wasnt sure who stole the Witchs Egg, she believed that they would reveal themselves soon because

Wont you get hungry soon?

Im so hungry! Can I please get something to eat?

Yibei lay on the bed, writhing on it like a maggot.

All you do is eat! Do you do anything other than eat? the maid complained.

Thats the problem. You and Jiangli dont let me do anything! If this continues and my limbs stop working, you will take responsibility!

The little maid rolled her eyes and said angrily, Its obvious that you dont want to enrich yourself, and yet you have the nerve to complain? Didnt my mistress say that she would bring you some books?

She did, but not the one I wanted! She told me she cant take the [Night Division Records] out, and I would have to read it in person when I recover!

He wanted to read the records as soon as possible. During his hospitalization, he confirmed that the existence described in the strange murmur he heard when absorbing the Witchs Egg was a female demon, and he cross-checked across different materials.

However, those materials were limited to stories of legends, and the descriptions varied greatly. If he could get his hands on the [Night Division Records]

You can still read other books! Or study! I dont know whats going on in that head of yours!

Okay, okay! What do you want me to do? Kneel? Kiss your feet?

Well, yes! Do that!

Yibei shrank in disgust and yelled, Damn! Dont you have any humanity left in you? Im stuck in his hospital, and you want me to study?

The maid sighed.

By the way, when will I be discharged? Its taking awfully long. Is it because I havent bribed her? he asked.

Absolutely not! I believe that my lady is not that type of person; she is high-spirited, fair, honest, and has a strong sense of justice. She gave up her family to serve the people, so I shall follow in her footsteps, and oh.

She realised she spoke too much and stared at Yibei, and she swore she could see his eyes swirl with emotion.
