Chapter 348 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Ai Xiaomo smiled bitterly upon seeing this and said, "Don't worry! I won't take you away. I'm just an intern and I know my own limitations. We're still friends. Just don't get discovered by Catwoman."
Facing the questioning gaze, Ai Xiaomo swore, "First of all, I will never tell her about it!"
Just when Bai Lingshan was at a loss, Ai Xiaomo opened the black bag in her hand with her pale little hands, and a baked sweet potato wrapped in a plastic bag came into her eyes. "Then I'll treat you to baked sweet potatoes! Now you believe me, right?"
Uh, is she trying to coax her?
Uh, that's not right.
"It's true that I'm a ghost messenger after I die, but I bought this at a stall owned by a living person in Tianhai City. When I was alive, I always loved the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. This is what I bought with RMB in my physical form. Even though it's cold, I just bought it."
"This……"
Bai Lingshan still felt bad. Just when she was trying to find a reason to refuse, Ai Xiaomo directly took her hand and put the sweet potato on it. Bai Lingshan held it for fear that it would fall to the ground.
"If you don't take it, I'll have to find a place to throw it away. That would be such a pity." Ai Xiaomo suddenly looked pitiful and sighed, "I'll draw one on paper and burn it for myself later, so I can eat it. Well! That one is cold, you can just burn it with fire."
Bai Lingshan subconsciously exclaimed "Ah", and her understanding seemed to have reached a higher level.
It turns out that after death, people can cook food for themselves...
Hmm? Wait, didn't she say last time that she was a human?
Ai Xiaomo seemed to be able to read her mind and immediately discovered her thoughts: "Well, I lied last time, but it was a white lie. And if I said I was a ghost, would you believe it? You don't believe it, right?!"
"......Yeah." Bai Lingshan was a little speechless.
Indeed, the existence of such a mysterious thing as a ghost is hard for an ordinary person to believe.
Suddenly, she thought of something: "Isn't it forbidden to use fire here?" Ai Xiaomo was skeptical and asked, "Why?" Then he said cheerfully, "But it should be okay to heat a sweet potato with fire."
"..."
Isn't it known to everyone that the country of Jingdu cannot use fire?
Or is it that only the soul taming field cannot use fire?
However, what she said makes sense, and it's okay to heat it up with fire.
Hey?
Bai Lingshan looked panicked.
She actually wanted to eat it.
At this time, Ai Xiaomo stretched his arms and dozed off: "I'm going to find a place to rest. I'm so tired after a busy day!"
Bai Lingshan just said "Oh" when she saw Ai Xiaomo waving at her.
And the next second.
She pushed open the door of the room next to theirs and said, "Bye!"
As the door gradually closed, the two cat lanterns hanging from the eaves also lit up.
Bai Lingshan witnessed this scene and was almost frightened to death.
"When did cat-shaped paper lanterns appear here?"
Moreover, Ai Xiaomo also went in.
Looking at the street she walked on every day, she felt as if she had seen a ghost.
Oh, she's a ghost.
Bai Lingshan suddenly realized.
"Let's go back, let's go back." Bai Lingshan started walking.
More than half an hour later, she returned to the clock tower alone. She placed the sweet potato on the table and sat back on the bed. Her stomach might have smelled the food, and it started to growl as she stared at the sweet potato.
She hadn't eaten since she came back from the spirit training ground this morning. The sweet potatoes were cold, but they still gave off a tantalizing aroma.
People say that you shouldn't eat food given by strangers, but she is in her own place now, so even if she eats it, nothing terrible should happen.
Bai Lingshan thought it was right, so she jumped out of bed and picked it up. At this time, she took off the plastic bag that wrapped it, and what came out was the delicious food that she would use to fill her hunger tonight.
Peel off a small piece of skin, put it in front of your nose and smell it. Apart from being completely cold, everything else is fine.
But cold roasted sweet potatoes are not as delicious as hot ones, and cold food is more likely to give people stomachaches, so after checking the windows and doors, Bai Lingshan took out the Explosive Flame Talisman.
The Explosive Flame Talisman has the power of fire. She has rarely used it since she recovered it. Recalling the "Big Fire Water Shield" she used against the Rain Ghost, this little sweet potato will be able to return to its freshly-baked state in a short while.
Don’t think about it, just act quickly.
"small fire."
Bai Lingshan held the sweet potato in one hand and controlled the flame between her fingers with the other hand. Watching the sweet potato slowly getting hot, Bai Lingshan's heart began to get excited.
Bai Lingshan was probably too focused that she didn't even notice the flowing fiery patterns on the wall. The next second, Yu Hongye appeared in front of her and grabbed her right hand that was used to control the violent flames.
"!" Bai Lingshan was so frightened that her soul almost flew out of her body.
"You're playing with fire again?" Yu Hongye questioned. At this moment, the fire that was still in her hand suddenly went out, and she was shocked by the reason why the violent flame disappeared...
"Have you forgotten about the Rain Ghost incident?"
Although Yu Hongye's tone was gentle at this moment, his eyes were different. The icy coldness penetrated directly into her heart. The right hand that was grasped by him also felt his strength and... trembling?
Bai Lingshan sensed something was wrong and stopped looking at him.
"S-sorry. I thought it was just that fire couldn't be used there."
In the past, Yu Hongye would change the subject at this time, but this time, not only did he not loosen his grip on her hand, he tightened it even more. Bai Lingshan only felt pain in her wrist, but could only remain silent.
After two minutes of stalemate, she finally showed a painful expression on her face, unable to bear it any longer. She wanted to move her unconscious hand, but she gave up when she thought that Yu Hongye would use force again.
It was not until Bai Lingshan placed her other hand in front of Yu Hongye's eyes that Yu Hongye noticed the hand that had changed color after being grabbed by him.
The moment he let go of her hand, an intense, stinging heat surged from her wrist to her entire hand, and the slightest movement of her hand caused her to feel numb all over.
"Are you okay? Sorry."
Yu Hongye said something belatedly.
Bai Lingshan just shook her head. At this time, Yu Hongye looked at him and said, "Don't use fire anymore. I'm afraid I'll lose control."
When Bai Lingshan looked up, Yu Hongye left here accompanied by the red light.
At this moment, she was the only one left here. What happened just now was just like her horrible fantasy, but the lingering pain and numbness in her hands were real.
Bai Lingshan lowered her head, held her uncomfortable wrist, and stood there for a long time.
The next day, Bai Lingshan came out of the clock tower and headed straight for West Village 1. It was surprisingly quiet on the road. Even when she sat at the table in West Village 1, there was no one there.
Yes, this is the country of Jingdu, and the shops on the road are all deserted.
If she were at home now, she would definitely go with her family to visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.
At this time, Meicunguan came running over, looking very angry: "When Hongye came just now, I asked him if you went back, but he said, "Go ask her?" I was stunned!"
"What do you mean you should ask her? Then why should I ask him?"
