Chapter 219 Casefile·8: Autumn Hunting (5)
Jiangyou felt that he had not slept so comfortably in a long time.
The exhaustion from the journey, which almost shook her apart, and the healing feeling of soaking in the hot spring and then being wrapped in a dry towel, all brought her into a wonderful and mysterious state where her soul felt as if it was floating in the air.
She seemed to be awake, but also asleep, floating and swaying in the void, feeling extremely leisurely and comfortable.
"...Hehehe... Little lich, you're actually standing here defenseless! Ha, I'm hungry too..."
Faintly, she seemed to hear someone talking, but Jiang You was now half asleep and half awake, completely unaware of the other person's identity or intentions. She simply sniffed the nonexistent nose and felt that she smelled a sweet and tempting scent.
——Hmm, it tastes a lot like peach oolong milk tea...
"After soaking in the hot springs, it's really suitable to have a cup of peach oolong milk tea..." Jiang You muttered in her 'dream', and subconsciously opened her mouth and took a big sip of the 'milk tea'.
Gulp, gulp, gulp… something sweet, milky, and peachy oolong-flavored was instantly sucked into her stomach, transforming into a warm current. Jiang You felt a surge of comfort throughout his body, and an endless supply of strength surged from his bones.
A warm warmth surged from my throat into my limbs, like being invited into a warm house after a winter storm, enjoying a steaming hot pot and a cup of milk tea with just the right sweetness and rich aroma. The feeling of comfort was indescribable.
Wait, does she have a throat and arms and legs now? Why can't she seem to feel them? ...Never mind, let's eat first!
She couldn't help but slurp another big mouthful, still not understanding whether she was eating solid, liquid or something else... Anyway, it was delicious!
——Since it tastes good, I have to have another bite!
“Ahhhhhh——” Screams rang out one after another, but Jiangyou was so focused on eating in his dream that he didn’t pay any attention to the sound at all.
"Hey, not only peach oolong, but also vanilla cream ice cream cupcakes?" Takumi slurped in his half-asleep state, completely oblivious to the fact that he was literally inhaling like a whirlwind. "Can I eat so well in a dream? And all of it is sweet... Hehe, eating sweets in a dream won't make you fat! Then I'll have to have a few more bites!"
"What?! A few more bites?! Ahhhhh! Don't come again! No, I want to escape, escape!" The voice screamed miserably and struggled violently, and suddenly broke free from Jiangyou's powerful suction that was like a black hole in the universe.
Jiang You felt something slip out from the corner of her mouth.
Jiangyou licked her lips curiously, finally regaining consciousness. She suddenly realized she had no body, no mouth, no skeleton. Instead, her entire being was a ball of fiercely burning, brilliant soul fire. Its entire body was pure white, but as it burned, a faint, multicolored glow could be seen.
She burned so brilliantly, like a star in the night sky, floating silently in the gray void.
"Hey! It's me, I'm so beautiful even in my dreams!" She was immediately attracted by her own wonderful appearance and didn't notice that a little snack was hurriedly slipping away from her.
"Little Bone, I'm here to bring dinner!" A familiar voice came from not far away. The Soul Fire Craftsman trembled, turned in the void, and moved towards the direction of the voice.
"Little Bone, are you there? Open the door?" Andre's voice continued to come, this time accompanied by several knocks on the door.
"Here it comes!" Jiang You struggled violently and broke free from the dream. After hearing some crackling sounds, she automatically pieced together a complete skeleton from a pile of bones scattered on the ground.
When he had put himself together, Jiangyou burped violently.
"Strange... Did I eat something just now? Why do I feel a little full?" She raised her bony claws and scratched the back of her head with a puzzled look on her face, then hurried to open the door for Andre: "Wait a moment, I'll open the door right away!"
She welcomed Andre into the house and took the basket from him. "Wow, what's this? It smells... huh? No smell... Wait, where are my spiritual wood and amulet?"
She was a little confused for a moment, then slapped her head, stuffed the basket back into Andre's hands, and went into the bathroom again. A few minutes later, she came out again with the spiritual wood and the amulet. "Hey, I fell into the bathtub just now~"
Andre had already taken out the shepherd's pie, plates, knives and forks, and grape juice, and placed them neatly on the table. He scooped a large piece of shepherd's pie onto the plate and handed it to Jiang You: "Try this. It's the shepherd's pie made by His Majesty the King's chef. It should taste very good."
Jiang You took the plate, sat down across from Andre, and then burped loudly. She looked at Andre in confusion: "What's going on? I feel like I just had a big meal in my dream...?"
Andre: “……???”

"Damn, damn little lich!" Dresi stood up angrily, picked up a vase and threw it to the ground. "It's just a little lich who knows nothing and is only a few months old. How can he eat so much?!"
She looked at herself distressedly, as if she had aged decades in an instant, with wrinkles all over her skin. She felt wronged and angry, completely forgetting that she was the one who started the attack: "Whose unlucky child was raised? He has no manners at all. He just opens his mouth and bites me, and it hurts so much..."
——That guy probably didn't learn any of the lich's skills or knowledge, and put all his talents into eating, right?!
She looked in the mirror and screamed miserably again: "My face, my beauty! Ahhhh!"
A man's voice rang out hoarsely: "Ha! Ha! You deserve it! Derek, you deserve this day!"
"Friedrich!" Dresi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. She bit you a few times too!"
"I'm happy to!" the man known as Frederick said proudly, his words revealing the joy of revenge. "To see you being devoured by her, powerless to resist, I'm willing to let her swallow me whole!"
He gloated, "Hahahaha, look at how ugly you are! How are you going to face people tomorrow? Your soul is damaged, so it's useless even if you change multiple bodies! Once your soul enters those bodies, it will tear them to pieces! Hahahaha!"
