Chapter 280 Man is Iron, Food is Steel



A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it one or two pink petals.

He looked around leisurely, not daring to look directly into Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Suddenly, upon hearing Ji Xiaoxiao's words, You Ran asked blankly, "That? Which one is that?"

Do men this pure really exist? They're a rare breed!

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't believe it, but was too embarrassed to say so, so she brushed it off with a few words.

After taking several deep breaths, he calmed his wildly agitated heart.

"Junior sister, I know you don't want to marry me. I don't want to force you. If you don't want to marry me, then don't. You just need to play a game with me."

Playing games? Oh my god, really?

Ji Xiaoxiao frowned. Could it be one of those kinds of games?

In the end, Ji Xiaoxiao guessed neither the beginning nor the ending.

"You hypocrite, Yue Ran, take this sword and die!"

With long, graceful strides, You Ran skillfully wielded a wooden sword, aiming it at Ji Xiaoxiao. Ji Xiaoxiao neither dodged nor evaded, enduring the excruciating pain bestowed upon her by You Ran.

Ji Xiaoxiao cried out in pain, collapsed to the ground, convulsed a few times, and died.

"Hahaha..." You Ran stepped on Ji Xiaoxiao's chest and laughed loudly.

Ji Xiaoxiao's face was pressed against the ground; it was hard to tell whether she was angry or ashamed.

He went to great lengths just to get me to play house with him?

Damn it, you're an idiot!

After the game, Ji Xiaoxiao never spoke to You Ran again.

Centuries, millennia, an unknown amount of time passed before Ji Xiaoxiao, who had long since become the greatest demon in the world, finally returned to the long-lost Dark Space.

Although the dark space lacked the vibrancy of the outside scenery, it had its own unique charm. More importantly, Ji Xiaoxiao liked the tranquility of the dark space.

"The Qiankun Pearl? How did I come to have this?"

Ji Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and utterly astonished.

Having lived in the world of Divine Sound for hundreds or thousands of years, Ji Xiaoxiao knew perfectly well how rare and precious the Qiankun Pearl was, having seen it countless times.

After staring at her own information for a few minutes, Ji Xiaoxiao said blankly, "My lord, how did I come to have the Qiankun Pearl? Could it be that I accidentally mistook a pearl for a fish eye and collected it?" After saying that, Ji Xiaoxiao nodded seriously. This kind of luck, which is like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, is something that only someone with the fortune of treasures can compete with.

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled foolishly, thinking, "No one can ever have too many treasures!"

The adult remained unchanged for a hundred years, sitting on the chair with the golden dragon pillar as always, but upon closer observation, the black aura surrounding the adult gradually faded.

For adults, the decrease and fading of dark energy is a great blessing.

The man didn't explain to Ji Xiaoxiao, but said arrogantly, "This is a reward from me for your dedication to all your tasks."

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled radiantly, her bright eyes on her small, oval face sparkling with moisture, narrowing into thin lines that instantly brought joy to anyone who looked at her.

Infected by Ji Xiaoxiao's emotions, the adult smiled and said, "This Qiankun Pearl is not a rare item, but it has the ability to travel through time and space, which other divine objects do not have."

“Sir, I know all of this.”

Ji Xiaoxiao, who had gotten a good deal but was still acting innocent, implied that she should tell him something she didn't know.

The adult did not take Ji Xiaoxiao's rude words and actions to heart, and said calmly, "Heaven and earth can contain all things, yin and yang. The Qiankun Pearl has the ability to travel through time and space, but its infinite power of containment is despised and deliberately forgotten."

Ji Xiaoxiao summoned the Qiankun Pearl, touching its smooth surface as if deep in thought.

"My lord, why do they despise and deliberately forget the Qiankun Pearl's power of storage?"

The adult chuckled softly and said, "Would you pick up a rotten cabbage that's everywhere? No, you'd just think it's unsightly and an eyesore, ruining the appearance of your city. In the world of Divine Sound, magical artifacts with the power to store and collect things are a dime a dozen. The Qiankun Pearl Palm can travel through time and space; it can be called a divine object created by heaven and earth. However, it possesses the storage and collection power of rotten cabbage, which would only tarnish its divine status."

The adults' tone was filled with the bittersweet disappointment of parents who were frustrated with their wayward children.

Ji Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, the adult waved his hand and she was thrown away again.

When Ji Xiaoxiao woke up, she found herself lying on a wooden bed. Calmly turning her head to look around, she saw three packets of mild-flavored instant noodles to her left and an unopened box of biscuits and milk to her right. Expanding her field of vision, everything she saw was either food or drink.

"Could this be the legendary glutton who eats gods and Buddhas alike?"

Ji Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and focused intently on absorbing the original owner's memories.

Just as Ji Xiaoxiao had predicted, the original owner of the body, He Qiong, was indeed a foodie.

He Qiong lost both her parents in a traffic accident at the age of eighteen, leaving her a lonely and miserable orphan.

He Qiong was heartbroken after her parents died in a traffic accident. She handled their funerals but also missed the opportunity to enroll in university. He Qiong was lazy, loved to eat, and enjoyed fine food; her easygoing attitude made her uninterested in school.

With no one to discipline her, He Qiong acted recklessly, living a simple life on the compensation she received and a two-story house left by her parents.

At the age of twenty-four, a cataclysmic event occurred. For some unknown reason, the land could no longer grow crops, and large numbers of poultry died in rapid succession. Food is essential for life; a meal missed will leave you starving. What use is advanced technology, a developed civilization, or a perfect social system without food? Suffering from hunger and cold, and facing danger everywhere, panic ensued. People scrambled for food and water, and human society itself was gradually toppled, destroyed, and reduced to ashes.
