"One day I will be very tall."
There were only home-cooked dishes, stewed potatoes, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and bread as the staple food in the lunch box.
"Why is there no meat..." Pei Ji curled his lips.
Xiao Shen did glare at him.
An said Pei Li was a lord, so Pei Ji was the future lord. His house should be very big, with many servants, and three meals a day were very rich.
But Xiao Shen is not envious. He thinks Carolina’s cooking is the best in the world.
Pei Ji's stomach growled in response. "Forget it... For the sake of growing taller, I'll reluctantly accept this meal."
He took a bite of the stewed potatoes and his eyes lit up. "Not bad."
Xiao Shen did snort.
He felt that the little boy didn't seem as annoying as he had first met, so he continued to watch him eat.
"But I think the stewed potatoes at the Desert Tavern are better." Pei Ji commented.
"I don't believe it." Shen Que said, "What is a desert tavern?"
"It's a great place, with lots of mercenaries." Pei Ji said as he ate. "You know what? The mercenaries are very powerful. The worms' skin is thicker than the shell of gold sand. Only ultra-high-density energy can penetrate it. But the mercenaries know how to use machetes to cut them open along the cracks in the skin, and they also know how to gouge out their eyes."
Shen Que frowned.
It sounds disgusting.
"They say mercenaries are very aggressive and like to swear. My sister doesn't allow me to have any contact with the mercenaries in town."
"It's okay." Pei Ji thought for a moment. "My mother also thinks mercenaries have a lot of bad habits. She also thinks I should take etiquette lessons."
He seemed to suddenly think of something horrible and covered his head.
"She hired eight etiquette teachers for me! Classes will start after the Harvest Festival!!"
Shen Que pursed his lips and smiled.
He watched Pei Ji finish his meal and open the last layer of the food box.
I suddenly felt nervous.
"What is this?" Pei Ji looked at the contents of the food box. "Pudding?"
He took out the glass bowl and looked at the collapsed gelatinous substance inside.
"Yes..." Shen Que bit his lower lip, "It's not too sweet..."
He looked at Pei Ji with some anticipation and muttered, "Then I can try...", picked up the spoon, scooped up a piece, and put it in his mouth.
Perhaps to ease the tension, Xiao Shen raised her chin again, clasped her hands behind her back, and said in a reserved manner:
"I just said something inappropriate, and Dad said I should apologize to you, so I did..."
However, before he could finish his words, Pei Ji spat out what he had just stuffed into his mouth.
"What the hell!! What the hell is this!!"
Shen Que opened his mouth and his face flushed red.
Pei Ji looked at the shapeless pile of pudding in horror and exclaimed, "Is it really pudding? It's not worm snot!"
"What... snot?" Shen Que's little body trembled slightly.
Pei Ji nodded seriously. "That's right! It's the worms that left that nasty snot in the cave! It's sticky... The mercenaries who were sprayed by it said it was like a badly baked pudding. It should taste similar to this. Ugh..."
Shen Que was shaking even more violently.
Pei Ji: "It's a good thing you haven't seen it! If you had, you would know how terrifying this pudding is! No one could possibly endure it..."
Shen Que snatched the pudding from Pei Ji's hand and smeared it on his face.
