439 7.63 – Stinky Bun Wants to Fight Big Whales With Mommy – War Of The Wickeds

+—- Author’s note —–+

Whales (in stock market term) are entities-individuals, institutions, and exchanges-who hold significant amounts of certain stocks that could make a major change in the course of the market.

Silvia was getting attached to the things that were being given to her by the entity that would occasionally occupy her body; be it attention, admiration, worship, money, a sense of being at the top, or the status of being associated with someone as smart or attractive as the big trio. Nathaniel had never touched her, much less carried her in his arms.

Lu Kai had to muster all the strength in his face muscles to hold back his laughter as he took a few mental photos of his pocket-sized wife. How in hell was he being affected by his own prank more than her?

|”Hubby, what do you think would happen if I let Silvia feel how Riley felt?”|

|She already thinks of herself as a victim. It will make her feel even worse.|

|”That’s right.”|

Silvia would always alienate others. She saw most people as jealous, abusive bullies that were out to destroy her. But the reality was that it was the other way around. Every one of her victims had suffered severe emotional torture, especially the old Riley.

.....

The way Riley portrayed his sister in two different images (bad in his memories, good in his book) showed how he had been guilt-tripped and gaslighted by his twin sister.

Bing Shi reversed Silvia’s emotions, sharing some of her emotions with the other girl. Public places were the best places to put Silvia under control. Silvia was bad at accepting criticism and had poor listening skills, so talking things out with her was out of the option.

“Ezikiel...” Being fed the truth, Silvia was constantly reviving some memories that would have otherwise vanished by normal means. She buried her head in Nathaniel’s chest as her hatred was being suppressed by a foreign feeling towards the omega boy.

Silvia couldn’t find the boy after she woke up, and had been waiting for his appearance impatiently. “Elera, I’m afraid she... she wants to take my only friend away from me,” she whispered all these while imagining Elera being tormented under her hands. Ezikiel’s disappearance must have been that slut’s doing!

Elera Mai was in utter disbelief when Silvia spewed out the twisted fact, “I only offered Ezikiel my friendship to him. That’s all.”

“I see,” Nathaniel let go of Silvia, “Ezikiel is in the cafeteria.”

It was no use, feeding Silvia the truth only worsened her state. Silvia’s soul continued to alter its reality to fit its own beliefs. Well, if changing the nature of a soul was so easy, the world would have been a completely different place.

|”I recommend Silvia as a candidate for a new demon king.”|

|That’s actually not a bad idea. Now go, I picked up some yummy food for your tummy.|

Bing Shi found herself back in Silvia’s body. Grabbing her phone, she dialled Ezikiel’s phone as she marched in the cafeteria’s direction. Silvia was going to be a hard nut to crack. She had helped with healing a broken soul, but she had never tried to change who they were at the core.

Ezikiel’s occasional boyish grins would make one wonder whether the food he was holding but not consuming was the reason behind his good mood.

Bing Shi took a bite of the meat and chewed on it deliciously as if she was shooting a food AD – trying to decipher the mystery behind her husband’s favourite food – meat, “I like the honey-glazed one more.”

“Really?” It was Ziek’s turn to take care of Stinky Bun, and he had been jumping out of the space to watch a live mukbang (an eating show, where people watch others eat). It was such a joy to see his wife having no side effects from consuming food, that he brought her a snack before she could even reach the cafeteria.

“Really,” Bing Shi rolled the bamboo stick in between her fingers, “I like the shine of it the most.”

“...” Ezikiel immediately exchanged her chicken meat skewer with the honey-glazed pork in his hand. Giving her the type she liked, he began to eat the unfavored one.

For a person who saw food only as a necessary evil, it was hard for her to taste its deliciousness. When she accidentally ate a raw, rotten egg in the apocalypse world and still called it yummy, he knew she had it bad.

|Wife, Stinky Bun wants to give you a call.|

Inside a shopping centre (within his space), Ziek gestured his thumb and pinky into a phone and placed it against his son’s side face. This action was nothing unusual for Stinky Bun because he would periodically try to make his son connect with his mommy’s dead soul.

Ying Xiong held his daddy’s hand against his ear as if he was holding a real phone. “Mommy, mommy, mommy.” Mommy, when are you coming home? Daddy is making Stinky Bun do the groceries again.

|”Who is making my cute little terror buy groceries?”|

|He lives together with us, of course, he has to contribute to the household.|

“Daddy!” Stinky Bun called out, not expecting to get a response from mommy, he fell into a dead silence.

|”Can mommy do the groceries with Stinky Bun next time?”|

Stinky Bun nodded his head with his mouth open wide, staring at his daddy’s hand intently, he spoke to the pinky, “Mommy, mommy?” Can’t mommy go with Stinky Bun now?

|Unfortunately, mommy is fighting big whales right now.|

Ziek let out a soft laugh when the little boy looked up at him as if asking for permission to fight big whales with mommy, “You have to defeat the candy monster first.”

“Mommy, mommy?” Can Mommy bring some whales home? We can keep them in daddy’s big aquarium. Ying Xiong wanted to chat with mommy for a bit longer but daddy suddenly cut them off.

“I let you give mommy a call, now it’s your turn to fulfil your side of our deal,” Ziek behaved the opposite of his usual unruly side. He negotiated with a toddler like a mature adult, causing the voices in his head to make fun of him.
