Chapter 27: Chapter 0027: Takeaway From The Monster Realm
"That…. Chen Ling, how much are the clothes and stuff?" Sui Li'er stood in place, curious, and asked.
Chen Ling didn't look at her and casually said, "Why? Do you want to pay? Do you have money?"
"Well, even though I don't have money, I can work for you!"
"I'm very capable!" Sui Li'er looked at Chen Ling seriously.
She thought that although Chen Ling was a god, money didn't come out of thin air. The main thing was that he had helped her so much, and she felt uneasy about freeloading from him. So she also wanted to help him.
Chen Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled gently. "Capable?"
"Yes!"
Looking at Sui Li'er's serious expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Eh? What's so funny?" Sui Li'er was puzzled when she saw Chen Ling laughing.
"Oh, nothing. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat tonight?"
"Why are you laughing?" Sui Li'er thought back and realized that there wasn't anything particularly funny about what she said.
Chen Ling changed the subject directly: "What do you want to eat? By the way, why are you standing? Sit down."
Sui Li'er had been standing in front of him the whole time. She stood there while he sat, looking down on her. This made Chen Ling uncomfortable.
"Oh, I'm just too happy! I Forgot, hehe." Sui Li'er sat down gently, right beside Chen Ling. The topic was successfully shifted, and her idea of working for him disappeared along with it.
Chen Ling was lying on the couch without any sense of presence, while Sui Li'er sat by his feet, on the edge of the couch. After sitting down, she couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
Should I sit on the opposite side? Would that be too close?
Chen Ling didn't pay much attention to it. He yawned and mumbled incoherently, "What do you want to eat?"
Sui Li'er didn't say anything; she didn't hear him. She was thinking to herself: If I get up now and sit across from him, would it be even more awkward?
Chen Ling yawned again, keeping his eyes closed. He was getting sleepy.
"Hey, I'm talking to you." Impatiently, he kicked her foot.
Ber~ He kicked something soft.
Sui Li'er felt a gentle bump on her buttocks and immediately realized what it was. She lowered her head in disbelief, her beautiful eyes trembling as she looked at Chen Ling's feet. Did the Lord God just kick my butt!?
Chen Ling was also stunned for a moment, feeling flustered: Damn, I thought it was Mo Suyan pulling a prank on me!
He had spent too much time with Mo Suyan on a regular basis. It was normal for good buddies to play around, like giving each other a kick and receiving a friendly punch in return. He was used to it and didn't react immediately. But the person sitting in front of him wasn't Mo Suyan!
He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the dumbfounded Sui Li'er. At the same time, he activated the system and checked the points update. By observing the points change, he could understand her current emotions.
〚 Ding~ Points +5. 〛
〚 Points +5. 〛
Chen Ling: ???
When he looked at Sui Li'er again, he noticed that her ears had turned red. To be honest, Chen Ling thought she looked even more beautiful like this. Her previous complexion was too pale, sickly, although it had a kind of morbid beauty. But he preferred Sui Li'er like this.
Now, how should he handle the situation? How do I explain this?
Sui Li'er's brain had almost stopped functioning at this point, and her body was trembling slightly. Seeing her reaction, Chen Ling felt embarrassed and said quickly, "Uh, sorry, I thought it was my friend."
"Oh, it's okay." Sui Li'er lowered her head slightly, blushing, and spoke in a small voice.
Then the situation became awkward again.
Chen Ling sighed helplessly in his mind. Why is living with a girl so awkward, damn it! He was starting to feel a little frustrated and completely uncomfortable.
Well, she would probably forget about this incident in ten minutes.
So, after ten minutes…
"What do you want to eat?"
"Well, let's just have leftovers from lunch. We still have so much, right? Hehe~ I feel like we can have two more meals!" Sui Li'er's smile returned to her face, as usual.
Chen Ling felt a mix of joy and speechlessness: Does she really forget in just ten minutes?
With a blank expression, he said, "I threw them away. I want to eat something fresh."
"Ha! Why? We had so much left."
"Ugh, it's such a waste. If I had known, I would have eaten more."
〚 Ding~ Points -1000. 〛
Chen Ling: ???
"Hey, hey, just kidding. I didn't throw them away." Helpless, Chen Ling had a thought, and all the leftover food from lunch appeared on the table next to the sofa.
"Hehe~ Thank you~" Sui Li'er smiled happily.
Chen Ling weakly said, "But they're all cold now, how will we eat them?"
"It's okay, we can still eat them!"
Chen Ling shrugged and didn't say anything, starting to order interdimensional takeout. He only ate fresh food, a picky eater.
Sui Li'er suddenly took a bite and exclaimed, "We can eat it, Chen Ling, it's still hot!"
Chen Ling rolled his eyes, "Obviously, I heated it for you. Of course, it's edible."
"Oh, hehe~" Sui Li'er immediately felt that the food in her mouth tasted even better. The considerations of the Lord God were truly thoughtful!
"Do you want to eat it? It's really delicious."
Chen Ling shook his head, "No, you can eat it. I want something fresh."
"Oh, okay then~" Sui Li'er didn't say anything more since Chen Ling was so determined. If that's the case, let me help the Lord God by getting rid of these leftovers! Hiahia (・`ω´・ )
She sat on the sofa and slowly started eating, thinking to herself that she had to finish it all today, or else Chen Ling would throw it away tomorrow.
While she was eating, Chen Ling suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked slowly towards the door.
"Hmm! Hmm?" (Chen Ling! Where are you going?)
Sui Li'er happened to have something in her mouth, and when she saw Chen Ling about to leave, she became anxious. She couldn't swallow it down for a while and quickly stood up, making muffled sounds without knowing what she was saying.
"I'm getting takeout, I'm not leaving."
"Hm hmm!" (Oh, I see~)
Sui Li'er finally sat back down with a relieved expression and continued to chew and savor her food.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but think: Huh? How did he know what I was saying?
Just like that, Chen Ling could even guess without using mind-reading techniques. Sui Li'er was too easy to understand.
But she couldn't help but start to doubt: Could the Lord God read minds?
Suddenly, she became flustered and looked at Chen Ling with some fear. Although mind-reading spells would be blocked by magic barriers and the Tower of Mind Shielding, the Lord God should have a way. He seemed to be able to use even invisibility spells.
At this moment, Chen Ling happened to open the door.
Standing at the door was a creature of unknown origin, causing Sui Li'er to freeze on the spot. It was a little fox, with two adorable ears on top of its head. Behind it, there was a fluffy tail wagging happily. It was wearing a pink maid outfit that Sui Li'er had never seen before.
One word to describe it: cute!
Two words to describe it: Too cute!
The adorable little fox held a large box in her hands, which was considerably wider than her shoulders. With a delighted expression on her face, she happily wagged her tail and said, "Hello, esteemed Mr. Chen Ling, here's the Monster Realm's Vitality Hot Pot you ordered."
Sui Li'er watched in astonishment. This was a creature she had never seen before. But it was so cute, wow. She really wanted to touch its ears and tail.
Chen Ling had his back turned to Sui Li'er as he took the large box from the little fox's hands. The little fox had a charming smile, and every movement and expression revealed a seductive feeling.
"Oh, Mr. Chen Ling, we need to take the box with us. Shall I help you take the dishes out?" As she spoke, she took the box from Chen Ling's hands.
"Come on in then."
Sui Li'er continued to stare in surprise at the creature she had never seen before. Was it a little fox? Or a human? So cute!
Chen Ling returned expressionlessly and casually glanced at the stunned Sui Li'er as he passed by. Then he sat on the sofa, next to her.
"Hehe." The little fox bounced over, but paused for a moment when she saw Sui Li'er.
"Oh? Is this your girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"
!!!
Sui Li'er was taken aback, her eyes showing an expression of disbelief. "You can see me!?"
"Huh?" The little fox looked at Sui Li'er with a puzzled expression.
"Why shouldn't I be able to?"
"Wow!" Sui Li'er looked at Chen Ling with excitement.
But this was also within Chen Ling's expectations. The reason why this little fox could deliver food across dimensions was because of the food delivery system. It could quickly locate and travel between dimensions, but had no other abilities.
Although it was a trash system compared to Chen Ling's, as long as a person had a system, they could see Sui Li'er's presence.
"Wow, hello! I'm Sui Li'er! I'm 17 years old this year!" Sui Li'er looked happily at the little fox in front of her.
The little fox, seeing her enthusiasm, was at a loss for what to do.
Inner thoughts: Wow, this is the first time I've seen such an enthusiastic customer!
The smile on her face didn't fade as she said, "Hello, Miss Sui Li'er, you look really beautiful! You and Mr. Chen Ling are truly a match made in heaven."
"Oh?" Sui Li'er was taken aback for a moment, her face turning red as she secretly glanced at Chen Ling.
"Well, actually…" As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Ling again.
Chen Ling frowned and said, "Stop wasting time and get on with it." He couldn't be bothered to explain anything and wanted to finish quickly.
"Oh! I'm sorry! Right away, right away." The little fox didn't dare to waste any more time when she saw how stern Chen Ling was. She quickly opened the box.
The aroma immediately filled the room, spreading throughout. Then the little fox took out the dishes one by one from the box. The box seemed to hold an infinite amount of food.
The table was soon filled with various dishes. Chen Ling had ordered a bunch of items.
While she was arranging the dishes, Sui Li'er curiously watched the little fox wagging her tail and asked, "Um, are you a fox?"
"Hmm?" The little fox glanced at Sui Li'er and smiled, saying, "Yes! I'm a jade-faced fox."
"A jade-faced fox? What's that? But you're really adorable!" Sui Li'er sincerely expressed her admiration.
Upon hearing this, the little fox couldn't help but happily move its two ears. "Hehe~ Oh no, no, you're even cuter."
"Well, what do I look like?"
The little fox looked at Sui Li'er with a puzzled expression. Don't you know what you look like? Have you never looked in a mirror?
She was unaware of the curse, as her food delivery system didn't have that function. It was her first time delivering food to this world, so she didn't have much knowledge about it.
"Um, you…" The little fox looked at Sui Li'er who had an expectant gaze, her mind racing.
Suddenly, she understood. Was Sui Li'er asking her to compliment her?
"You are breathtakingly beautiful, captivating, and mesmerizing. You are the epitome of grace and charm."
Sui Li'er: ??
She thought the little fox was joking with her and said somewhat disappointedly, "Okay, okay, thank you."
The little fox finally breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
"I need to read more books and learn more vocabulary. Customers these days are really difficult to please!" Then she quickly packed up her things and left.
"Thank you for your patronage. We appreciate your support. Wishing you both a happy life and everlasting harmony."
After saying that, she directly entered the dimensional portal in Chen Ling's room and disappeared.
