Chapter 358: An Appetite To Shock The Masses (2/2)

Another ten minutes passed and by now Lin Mu had eaten enough food that was enough to feed about thirty people easily. Even Wu Hei was left speechless at this and didn't know what to think of it. This simply did not make sense to him.

He scanned Lin Mu from top to bottom and found him to be completely normal. If someone else had eaten even ten percent of the amount of food that Lin Mu had eaten, their belly would have definitely been bulging out. But looking at Lin Mu, no such thing could be seen.

It was as if his stomach was an endless void that only kept on sucking more and more of the food in it.

”Lin Mu, stop! This is enough! At this point, everyone will suspicious of you!” Xukong shouted in Lin Mu's mind.

Lin Mu snapped out of his mechanical actions and his focus returned to him. While he was eating he had entered a strange kind of state and was fully focused on absorbing the spirit qi and vital energy that was slowly being released from the food in his stomach.

Because of this, he barely paid any attention to his surroundings. Lin Mu realized this and was a bit scared.

”This was strange… what exactly happened to me?” Lin Mu questioned Xukong.

”I don't know either. But from the looks of it, seems like we found another side effect of the nameless technique of the lost immortal. You lose sense of your surroundings when you have a large amount of food with you.” Xukong explained.

”I understand senior. I'll take a note of it and think of a solution to it.” Lin Mu replied.

~Phew~

Seeing that Lin Mu had finally stopped eating, everyone took a breath of relief. They didn't know why, but the more they saw him eat the more uncomfortable they got. They even felt as if he would keep on eating till they ran out of all food and if he was still not satisfied then they would be the next ones to be eaten.

The servants quickly took away the empty and dirtied dishes, and the table was replaced. They were originally going to discuss a few things while having a meal, but Lin Mu's actions were something that they could not ignore and simply stared at him eat.

”Now that our meal is done, I believe we can have a nice conversation…” Lord Cai spoke, trying to dissipate the awkward silence.

”Ah yes, of course. Pardon my manners.” Lin Mu said, seeing that Lord Cai was taking the initiative. He looked at Wu Teng and asked, ”brother Teng, how are the marriage preparations coming along? I've been waiting for it too and wanted to see all the ceremonies that have been planned.”

~Sigh~

”Oh, yeah… the marriage.” Wu Teng said with a sigh, almost as if he was unwilling to do this. ”The preparations are coming along fine and mother had decided that we will have the official ceremony in five days.” He continued.
