Chapter 853 - 255: [Ghost] (3)
Chen Yan changed into a set of clothes and unexpectedly walked out of the villa, even out of the yard.
Pretending to stroll casually as if nothing was amiss.
This time, Chen Yan confirmed one thing again!
Whenever he was active in the villa, the ghost would follow right behind him.
Even in the yard, she could follow him.
But as he walked out of the yard, that entity followed him and floated to the gate of the yard...
Yet didn’t go any further!
As Chen Yan slowly wandered away, he stretched lazily and pretended to be casually exercising his body, his gaze sweeping past indifferently.
This ghost could only stand at the gate, staring at him.
Her gaze carried a hint of resignation, and a touch of unwilling irritation.
[It... can’t go too far!]
[Hmm, can’t leave the yard? Or, can’t stray too far from Lu Sisi’s physical form?]
[Or perhaps, both?]
After a night of tossing and turning, it was actually now slightly bright.
Chen Yan’s heart was full of doubts.
Since he had doubts, it’d be best to find someone knowledgeable to solve them.
But after glancing at the yard next door... Lin Qingquan, that Old Deng, had gone out somewhere, anyway the house was empty now.
Chen Yan headed to the residence of the Yunqiao Great Demon.
Moments later, standing in the home of the Yunqiao Great Demon, Chen Yan jumped into the Mirror World, but furrowed his brow.
The Yunqiao Great Demon wasn’t home again!
What puzzled Chen Yan even more was that there was a thin layer of dust on the windowsill and table—clearly indicating no one had been home for several days.
Where had that little girl gone?
Thinking for a moment, he took out the Ink Spirit Crystal already filled with Primordial Qi and placed it on the coffee table in the living room at the most conspicuous spot, so if the Yunqiao Great Demon returned, she could see he’d been here at a glance.
Since he couldn’t find anyone, Chen Yan jumped out of the Mirror World back to the real world, checked the time and the weather, and simply walked out of the neighborhood.
He went nearby and bought some breakfast, seven or eight freshly fried dough sticks along with hot soy milk, added two large pancakes and two steaming baskets of white steamed buns.
When he got home, the light in the master bedroom on the third floor was already on.
"Why are you up?" Chen Yan stood by the entrance of the bedroom washroom, looking at his girlfriend who was washing.
Lu Sisi glared at Chen Yan, her tone carrying three parts of playful annoyance and three parts of coyness: "How dare you, waking me up in the middle of the night, of course, I couldn’t sleep anymore. I woke up just a while after you left."
Chen Yan chuckled, went over to embrace Lu Sisi: "Come downstairs for breakfast, I bought freshly fried dough sticks."
·
Dough sticks, soy milk, pancakes, and two baskets of buns.
The two easily devoured everything!
The powerful transformation of the body brought one effect, that is, the appetite increased.
This was still under the premise of not consuming too much. If any physical labor was done and energy consumption was high, this amount of food wouldn’t even be enough for Lu Sisi alone!
The Law of Energy Conservation, perhaps.
The powerful body had a side effect of increased consumption, needing more food.
After breakfast, Lu Sisi hadn’t eaten fully, just about seventy percent.
She sighed: "If I’d eaten like this before, I’d probably have become a big fat person long ago."
"Don’t worry, you won’t gain weight now." Chen Yan smiled.
Actually, Chen Yan’s appetite wasn’t as large as Lu Sisi’s.
Logically, his physical strength was greater than Lu Sisi’s—but Chen Yan was a cultivator, able to exhale and inhale great amounts of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
As if Primordial Qi Entering the Body could supply a large amount of energy the body needed.
So the requirement for food was not as intense as Lu Sisi’s.
Chen Yan’s appetite remained a bit stronger than average but not excessively.
Of course, it’s fine to eat. Chen Yan has already realized his body has a function to store energy and then slowly consume it.
Though not outrageous yet, if he eats a lot, he can consume enough for three to five days and go without food for three to five days—but not more.
Unlike the Yunqiao Great Demon, who can consume three months’ worth of food and remain idle for a long time.
Lu Sisi couldn’t, Lu Sisi’s current appetite was already comparable to that of top-level athletes.
"I’m going out today, you stay home with your mom. Make her some plain porridge for breakfast. Her health isn’t too good now, can’t eat greasy food, her stomach won’t digest it."
After assigning a few tasks, Lu Sisi nodded, then asked: "You... out for long? Not going to..."
"No, I’m just going to the Academy for roll call, haven’t been there for many days, it wouldn’t look right otherwise. Plus, Dean Chu helped me with some matters before, I need to go see him."
Lu Sisi nodded.
Having met that Dean Chu, her instinctive resistance to Chu Keqing, such an alluring mature woman appearing beside her boyfriend, was natural.
But... Lu Sisi chose not to say anything.
She could sense, in the occasional glance from Chu Keqing towards Chen Yan, the hint of fervor—she probably thought she was hiding it well.
But actually, women understand women best.
Lu Sisi chose not to speak because she sensed Chen Yan’s attitude towards Chu Keqing was indifferent.
Close but not intimate.
Lu Sisi wasn’t possessive, understanding clearly that Chen Yan, an extraordinary person skilled in Divine Techniques, couldn’t be controlled or governed by anyone.
Since he knew his own limits, there was no need for her to display unnecessary gestures.
