"Why is Chef Li here?" Old Master Kui asked.

Xin Sui handed the plate in his hand forward, and the plate was covered with a hemispherical silver lid.

"I made a dessert and brought it here for Miss Lou to try."

Lou Jiali had already cleared the dishes from the table and called out, "Let her in."

Xin Sui placed the plate on the table and lifted the lid.

A palm-sized round dessert was presented to Lou Jiali.

Layer upon layer, golden in color, interspersed with snow-white cream, and red strawberries and berries.

The top layer was also covered with cream, like a soft, fluffy bed.

The tender, juicy grass and berries lie on the surface like sweet young girls, exuding a sweet and alluring aroma.

It's already intoxicating even before you've tasted it.

Lou Jiali's girlish heart was deeply touched, and she asked, "What is this?"

Xin Sui: "Strawberry and berry cream mille-feuille".

Lou Jiali picked up a knife and fork, cut off a small piece, and put it in her mouth.

Grass, berries, and cream are refreshing and sweet.

The layers of golden-yellow flaky pastry underneath are crispy, crunchy, and incredibly sweet.

It's so delicious!

Jiali, however, feigned modesty as she went upstairs, saying, "It's not bad, let's add it to the menu."

Xin Sui: "Okay."

After Xin Sui left, Lou Jiali couldn't resist taking another bite, wishing she could eat the whole dessert.

Although there isn't much even if it's a whole piece.

But the thought of her belly being like a bottomless pit, never satisfied with its 308, made her restrain herself.

If we save a piece of dessert now, maybe sending it back will save one family member in Building 308 from eating.

Lou Jiali took a deep breath of the dessert's aroma, as if that were the same as eating it.

Then, reluctantly, I closed the lid and put it into the food box in my space.

"Elder Kui, do you think the person spying on us just now might be Li Xueli? Otherwise, her arrival is too coincidental."

Puppet Master: "Impossible. Li Xueli is only at the Middle Star Realm, while the one just now was at least at the Star Vortex Realm."

Lou Jiali: "What? Li Xueli has already reached the Middle Star Realm? How is that possible?"

"Not long ago, she was at the Lesser Star Realm, just like me. My realm was even higher than hers. How long has it been since she broke through and surpassed me?"

"Damn it, no wonder she hasn't been to work lately, she's been secretly cultivating at home!"

Lou Jiali walked around the room a few times with her hands on her hips, then suddenly stopped.

"Elder Kui, send the food box back and have someone bring Li Xueli here."

"yes."

"Knock knock knock".

"Enter."

"What do you want?" Xin Sui walked in.

Since there was no one else in the room, she spoke more freely.

Lou Jiali cracked her knuckles. "We haven't sparred in ages. Shall we have a couple of rounds?"

Xin Sui was about to refuse, but then she thought of something and nodded, "Okay."

"Come with me."

Lou Jiali led Xin Sui to the restaurant's basement.

She specially decorated this place into a training room; it's spacious, soundproof, and allows her to fight freely.

The two had played several rounds and had developed a tacit understanding.

They did not use any external objects such as superpowers or weapons, but fought solely with their own bodies.

With each punch and kick, Xin Sui enjoyed the beating, and Lou Jiali also felt great.

After the first round ended, Xin Sui pinned Lou Jiali to the ground and quietly affixed a hypnotic talisman he had bought from the system shop to her body.

"Are you making me cook so many dishes on purpose, or do you want to save them for later?"

Xin Sui felt that there were only two possible answers.

Lou Jiali's answer, however, took her by surprise.

"No, I sent it back for 308 to eat."

"Who is 308?" Why would someone come up with such a strange name?

“308 is a spiritual room in our hotel.”

"It often roams around in different rooms, disguising itself as an ordinary room. When the person living in that room steps in, it will swallow them up."

“We tried everything to get rid of it, but we all failed. Instead, it became more rampant and ate even more people.”

Perhaps because she had kept this secret to herself for so long, Lou Jiali blurted it all out while under hypnosis.

He poured out his grievances to Xin Sui.

"This 308 is awful! It devoured so many people in our building, including my mother!"

"Waaah... I was only eight years old then. I was carrying a doll and went to find my mother. I saw that my mother's room was open."

"It was pitch black inside, like a huge monster was hiding there. I was so scared that I turned and ran away..."

"I later found out that my mother had been eaten by it. From then on, I never dared to step into my mother's room again, even after the room returned to normal."

Xin Sui never expected that Lou Jiali had such a past.

She took out a tissue to wipe away her tears and continued to ask, "Wasn't your Lou family hotel already spirited? How come there's another spirited room?"

Lou Jiali choked up as she said, "I asked my dad this question before, and he said there were two possibilities."

"One possibility is that the hotel had a second chance for spiritualization, but due to insufficient energy, only part of it—that is, 308—successfully became spiritualized, while the rest did not."

"Another possibility is that 308 was spiritualized on its own due to some event."

"It's like some people awaken visual abilities, and only their eyes are enhanced."

Xin Sui: "Even if 308 has become a spirit, how could it possibly eat your Lou family members?"

The Lou Family Hotel was imbued with spirits from the very beginning of the apocalypse, essentially becoming an intelligent building nurtured by the Lou family, and naturally close to the Lou family members.
