Chapter 420 The Foodie Male Lead 8 "..."
Zi Xi, holding the kitchen knife and still in a forward-leaning posture, tilted her head back with her mouth slightly open, completely dumbfounded.
She stared at the man who was pasted on the cave ceiling like a painting, her mind a little blank.
What... what kind of operation is this?!
She had seen on the StarNet that some people with genetic mutations could have some strange abilities, like climbing walls like a gecko.
And you climbed so easily?
Is he really the Spider-Man of this world?
But... what is Spider-Man again?
But soon Zixi lost all interest in thinking about other things.
Although she had the upper hand in that fierce battle, she was exhausted and her breathing was unsteady.
The other party then pulled this stunt, instantly shattering her understanding.
An eerie silence fell over the cave.
Only the chicken soup in the pot continued to bubble and boil, oblivious to its impending doom, emitting an increasingly enticing aroma.
In the midst of the silence, Mo Chen's stomach rumbled loudly once again, much to his dismay.
The sound broke the deadlock.
Zi Xi blinked, looking at the man on the cave ceiling whose posture was comical, yet who seemed somewhat embarrassed by his rumbling stomach. For some reason, the fear and anger in her heart dissipated a little.
Instead, a sense of absurdity prevailed.
What's going on here? She's fighting with a stranger over a pot of chicken soup.
Zi Xi slowly put down the kitchen knife, but her eyes remained wary, and she began her sarcastic remarks.
"Oh, so you know how to surrender now?"
"Weren't you quite capable when you were pretending to be a corpse to scare people? You even imitated a gecko climbing a wall..."
"What, you've switched to performing acrobatics because you can't scare people anymore?"
"Isn't your appearance fee a bit too high? You almost scared the soul out of me!"
She pursed her lips, her soft voice trailing off with obvious sarcasm.
Mo Chen hung from the cave ceiling, listening to the barrage of sarcastic remarks from the little girl below, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
This is the first time in all his years of traversing the stars that someone has described him as performing acrobatics.
"It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. I... was so hungry that I had no strength left. I was attracted by the aroma of your pot of... uh, celestial soup, and followed the scent. I had no ill intentions whatsoever."
However, he still adjusted his posture to make himself hang more calmly, his voice carrying a deliberately feigned weakness and sincerity.
"I was just looking for a place to stand firmly, I didn't mean to disturb you, young lady, it was my fault."
Mo Chen's gaze involuntarily drifted back to the pot of chicken soup that was still bubbling, and his Adam's apple bobbed noticeably.
"Use leverage to gain a foothold?"
"You used the cave ceiling for leverage? Your excuse is nowhere near as good as your skills."
Zi Xi chuckled and crossed her arms.
Although her fighting skills are questionable, she's not stupid.
This man is definitely not as simple as he appears.
"Young lady, you are wise."
"To be honest, I got separated from my companions, was attacked by a star beast, was seriously injured and fell into the water, and was lucky to survive."
