"What is that?"
"Which wronged ghost is it this time?"
"Or is it some blind monster?"
"..."
The girls leaned lazily against the edge of the hot spring pool, leisurely swirling their drinks, showing no signs of nervousness.
Lu Qing was speechless: "Is your reaction... normal?"
Gu Fei swam over to her side, patted her shoulder, and said:
“If it were someone else saying it, we might get nervous, but it’s normal for us to stay calm since it’s you. After all, we’re used to it.”
Lu Qing: "Uh... okay!"
"Qingqing, what did you just see?" Leng Wei asked.
Lu Qing looked again at the place where there had been unusual activity. He had just felt a trace of yin energy, but it had disappeared.
"Perhaps it was a wandering spirit that happened to pass by, but it's gone now."
Cheng Yiyi: "Then it's okay. Let's soak for a while longer and then go to the restaurant. This drink is making me hungrier and hungrier."
"Um!"
After enjoying a half-hour hot spring bath, everyone changed their clothes and went to the restaurant for dinner.
The buffet selection wasn't extensive, but the ingredients were all very fresh, and the taste was quite good.
A group of people had to push two tables together to make room for everyone.
The restaurant was still Lu Qing's domain; everyone else was almost full, but she was still eating.
To prevent her from being made a fool of, none of the people present left.
After all, no matter who it is, they can't help but take a look when they see a petite girl showing off a whole table of food all by herself.
Yang Xiwen brought out some desserts from somewhere to cleanse the palate after the meal.
Lu Qing stared at the peanut brittle on her plate for a long time.
Feeling her burning gaze, Yang Xiwen silently pushed the remaining pieces over:
"You eat it, I'll get it later!"
Lu Qing immediately grinned: "Xiwen, you're such a great person!"
Yang Xiwen smiled helplessly: "Your 'good guy' card is really worthless!"
Lu Qing tasted a piece of peanut brittle. This snack didn't make her lose her "good person card" (meaning she was given a white hair card). It was indeed as fragrant and crispy as it looked, and delicious.
"This must have been made fresh!" Lu Qing exclaimed in delight.
Tang Yu explained, "My aunt loves peanuts, so my uncle leased a plot of land outside specifically to grow peanuts. The peanuts that we can't finish at home are used to make desserts. They also make peanut butter and peanut pie, all freshly made."
"Fresh food is definitely the best!"
Seeing that Lu Qing was still not satisfied, Gu Xicheng got up to get it for her.
However, he returned empty-handed, and said helplessly:
"The chef said that someone just took all the peanut brittle and peanut butter, so if we want to eat them, they can only be made to order and we'll have to wait a while."
Yang Xiwen stared in astonishment, his eyes wide:
"When I came back, there was a big plate there, enough to hold at least ten small plates, and one person took it all?"
"That person must really love peanuts!" Everyone was quite surprised.
Lu Qing: "It's okay, I still have plenty of food. By the time I finish eating here, they should have finished cooking too."
Lu Qing quickly finished the remaining food on the table.
After finishing her plate, she was about 70-80% full, so she left the rest of the time for dessert!
"Where's the peanut brittle? I'll go get it myself!" Lu Qing asked Yang Xiwen.
Yang Xiwen: "Turn left ahead, it's next to where the drinks are."
Lu Qing nodded and specially brought over a large plate.
When she arrived, the peanut brittle had just been made, and a sweet aroma wafted from afar.
However, just as Lu Qing was about to grab it, a large woman pushed her aside with her buttocks.
Caught off guard, Lu Qing stumbled from the impact. Once she regained her balance, she saw the woman grab a peanut brittle and stuff it into her mouth, chewing as she went, choking and rolling her eyes back without stopping.
The bathhouse staff quickly came over to dissuade them:
"Madam, if you want to eat it, you can use tongs to put it on your plate. Eating it directly with your hands will disturb other guests' dining."
The fat woman choked, grabbed a bottle of peanut milk from the nearby beverage cabinet, and gulped it down. She finally managed to swallow it.
"Madam, are you alright?" the staff member asked.
"I'm fine."
The woman, panting, returned to the counter and poured the entire plate of peanut brittle into her own plate. Then she grabbed several bottles of peanut butter and took the remaining two peanut pies.
Lu Qing frowned immediately; something was wrong with this woman.
She followed the fat woman over. She had come to eat alone, and there was nothing else on the table except leftover peanut scraps.
Lu Qing counted the plates. Not counting those taken away by the waiter, she had eaten at least thirty plates of peanut brittle, two bottles of peanut butter, ten bottles of peanut milk, plus an unknown number of peanut pies.
No matter how much someone likes peanuts, they can't possibly eat that many.
And judging from how ravenously this woman is eating, no one would believe she's a normal person.
Lu Qing blinked, focusing his Qi into his eyes.
A little boy, about eight or nine years old, appeared before them. He rode on the woman's neck, pried open her mouth, and forced her hands to keep stuffing peanut products into her mouth.
The little boy's face was as pale as paper, and his exposed skin was covered with red spots, which gave people goosebumps just looking at him.
He looked at the woman with great excitement, and the more she ate, the happier he laughed.
Perhaps it was because Lu Qing's gaze was too direct, but the little boy quickly noticed her.
Upon seeing Lu Qing, he was so frightened that he fell off the woman and transformed into a wisp of black mist, fleeing swiftly.
As soon as he left, the woman returned to normal.
She stuffed herself with peanut products, which made her so sick she vomited uncontrollably while hugging the trash can.
Lu Qing immediately asked the waiter to call an ambulance to take the woman to the hospital, and then went to find the little devil.
Following his scent, she chased him all the way to the hot spring pool.
There was no one around, the lights were dim, and the faint sound of laughter could be heard.
"I'm right here, come and get me!"
The little devil's figure suddenly appeared in front of them, then vanished in an instant, and reappeared on the right.
Lu Qing stood still, motionless.
The little ghost suddenly disappeared, and an eerie silence fell over the surroundings.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the hot spring pool, grabbed Lu Qing's ankle, and tried to pull her into the water.
Unfortunately, he couldn't move Lu Qing and instead exposed his whereabouts.
Lu Qing drew a talisman in mid-air and set up a seal, sealing off the hot spring pool where the little ghost was.
The little devil was sealed in the water, pounding against the barrier with all his might, but to no avail.
Lu Qing squatted down and looked at him with a smile:
"Don't waste your energy, you can't get out unless I lift the lockdown!"
The little devil glared at Lu Qing, his eyes filled with resentment.
Seeing that Lu Qing wasn't intimidated, he quickly changed tactics, turning to pitiful pleading:
"Sister, please let me out!"
"She killed me first, that's why I want revenge, please let me go!"
Lu Qing's eyes darted around, then she feigned sympathy:
"You're so pitiful, alright then, I'll let you go!"
Lu Qing released the seal, but the next second, the little devil changed its expression and pounced on her with bared teeth and claws.
