Chapter 648 - Wei Wei Was A Big Eater (1/2)
When Helian Wei Wei woke up, it was already noon on the second day, and there was no sign of Baili Jia Jue. There were still so many things that needed to be dealt with in the palace, so it was unlikely that he could remain here freely and she was well aware of this. The moment she woke up, she saw Little Seven busy biting a meat bun, seated at the edge of the bed, his little face was filled with guilt. “Third Aunt.”
Helian Wei Wei smiled as she caressed his head saying, “What’s the matter?”
“Today I asked Third Brother why you were asleep for so long, and he said it was because yesterday I was too naughty, and that caused you to get hurt.” Little Seven sat with his short legs crossed together, and with a lowered head, he uttered, “I did not mean to do so, I never expected I would evolve, and the moment I regained my memories and thought of Third Brother, I immediately focused on killing all those imperial guards who held the torches, but I did not know it would affect you.”
Helian Wei Wei only noticed that he had grown a tail, and his tail was wagging as he spoke, making him appear extremely adorable.
However, His Highness is so good at shrinking from his responsibilities. Is such shamelessness acceptable?
“This has nothing to do with Little Seven, it was all the work of someone else.” Helian Wei Wei pinched Little Seven’s cheeks and continued, “You mentioned that you have regained your memories, did you recall that you are the Sky-swallowing beast?”
The little one was busy chewing the meat bun as he said, “Mmhmm, I remember it all now. It’s because my mana has not fully recovered and Third Brother hooked a silver ring onto my ear so I will only turn into a mythical beast during fights. If not, I could carry Third Aunt out of the palace right now to have some beancurd dessert. However, now that Third Brother has forbidden me from getting into fights, I have been so bored lately.”
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. So, this is what he has been worried about.
“Is this brain of yours only filled with eating or fighting and killing?”
The little one shook his head and replied, “Of course not. I am also very concerned about my own image, Third Aunt looks closely at me, tell me if I look more handsome now that I have regained consciousness!”
The corners of Helian Wei Wei’s mouth curved up slightly. She then said, “You are the most handsome person in the world. Now, run to the Imperial Kitchen and ask for some meat on my behalf because your Third Aunt is about to starve to death.”
“There is no need to go to the Imperial Kitchen.” The little one stood up with his long tail sweeping the floor. “When Third Brother left, he asked the servants to prepare a huge amount of food, and he specifically said that it could only be eaten when you are awake.”
So considerate? Helian Wei Wei smiled, and using both her arms to straighten her nightgown, she stood up indolently. Barefooted on a thick black fur carpet, she yawned with outstretched hands as she looked at the round sandalwood table. There was a stone pot being warmed on the stove, filled with pork ribs, potatoes and vermicelli, cooked to a savory hot flavor, even sweet potatoes had been added to the dish. The delicious smell of it was pungent in the air, not to mention the side dishes prepared, including shredded strips of lotus rhizome, pickled cabbage, Eight Treasure Duck, spiced beef, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and sautéed crab in hot spicy sauce.
Helian Wei Wei was famished. Having caught sight of all her favorite dishes, she picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks and began chewing pork ribs. She did not appear to be in a rush while eating as she was trained to practice good eating habits. She savored her food in a lazy manner but the only thing that brought concern was the huge portion of her meal.
Little Seven held a crab leg in his mouth as he looked at Helian Wei Wei with his left hand pressed against the back of his head. Using his left hand to rub his head, he felt puzzled. When does Third Aunt have such a huge appet.i.te? It seems that her appet.i.te is even bigger than mine, she had already eaten her fifth bowl of rice and I am still on my second bowl. Could it possibly be that my power has reduced? Ah, that’s fine, as a handsome man, I really should not eat that much.
In the end, the little handsome man still managed to finish around 10 bowls of rice…
Yet, Third Aunt still managed to beat him by one extra bowl!
Moreover, this was not the most important thing, the thing was that even after Third Aunt had finished eating, she still had the appet.i.te for a few oranges.
The little one stood by the side with his tail swaying left and right. As he sniffed with his nose, he felt as though something was not right…
The weather outside the palace had gotten colder. The Capital was always like this, the moment winter arrived, it would turn cold, causing others to not feel like leaving their homes. Especially on days with cloudy mist, talking alone would create puffs of white mist.
