i'm hungry

"here, eat this"

" How can I eat a pearl?"

"eat",repeats Li Xiang.

Xu Kong gave up, resigned to his fate, and ate it, can anything worst happen? I'll just throw the pearl once I'm in diarrhea but looking at my silly childhood friend I can't help myself from getting sad,' the poor must've been shocked silly'.

a milky overflowing melted in his mouth taking him by surprise' milk candy?', the confusion didn't last long, because he sensed his vitality continually growing, his bones mending and his injuries healing.

" What kind of fairy medicine, is this the famous healing pill used by fairies?", Xu kong mumbles to himself

"if you're feeling good then you better move, the noise has already attracted many unwanted guests", says Li Xiang calmly

"Xian'er, can you give me another pill? ", says Xu kong while pointing his finger toward the man

I directly take another one and throw it to him, who's he gonna give to is his own business. I honestly don't care what happens to the other, even though Su Mei was a powerful man in my last life and he didn't participate in the conspiracy to hunt me down, it doesn't erase the fact that he is not trustworthy.

I look at the sky,' i need to go ' i headed toward the exit

"wait !! where are you going? come with us, your mom is waiting"

"I have a better place than yours which I'm living in, I'll go bring her with me later "

"Can we go with you? to be honest the shelter we are in, is no good and we are always oppressed, they even sent us to die here."

hearing this I really don't know what to decide, I can bring mom but bringing these two will endanger Erha, after thinking about it I made a decision

"I can't bring you there but you can live somewhere nearby and I assure you that it's safe ", I will keep Erha and the mermaid's existence a secret, but looking at it from another way, it will eventually come out with all the catastrophes coming in the future, I even remember the fifth catastrophe 'drainage', I need to prepare beforehand so I need a helping hand, I'll observe them for the time being.

"I need to do something so hide somewhere nearby I'll come back for you after I check on something nearby", he didn't wait for their answer and directly disappeared from the place he was standing in.

Su Mei looking at Xu Kong's eyes full of reverence and awe made him feel a little jealous but also more determined to get stronger.

I finally arrived and as expected the symptoms before the second catastrophe's arrival is already showing

"This is too soon, if it goes like this humanity will get wiped out"

I return back to take Xu and Su with me, take the car I recently rode with Erha, and with super speed, we made it back near the beach in 1 hour. I look at my watch ignoring the bewildered expression made by those two," go grab one of these villas to live at and I'll be back soon", I wonder if Erha waited for me for so long? I need to compensate him somehow.

he was about to reach the beach when he heard a scream from the villa," SENIOR SU, OH MY GOD, THERE'S A FAIRY CULTIVATOR HERE", right after I hear this I disappear with a flash inside the villa.

Erha who was sleeping had already woke up groggily and startled, "huh? where am I? who are those people ?", he then caught with his eyes Li Xiang, woke up instantly then run towards him

Su Mei seems to have caught the young man intention, "be careful!!!" he cries looking at Li Xiang but contrary to what he expected Erha hugs Li Xiang intertwining his hands on his waist, and with a coquettish voice sounding wronged he says

"Li Xiang you finally came back, I'm hungry!!!", though they didn't understand him, they know he was acting coy and right in front of them, and what is more surprising is that the terrifying cold man is actually doting on him not hiding his affection one bit.

"Is he a boyfriend ?", they both thought

"I wanna eat spicy beef barbecue !!!", announces Erha then runs out of the room and as if he forgot something he came back

"who are you guys by the way?", says as he gestures with his hands so they can understand him

Xu kong was crying internally,' is this how a cannon fodder feels, it's too terrible!!"

"they're not important, don't care about them", says Li Xiang

"How can that be, they are obviously guests, just right eating barbecue is the best with many people surrounding the bonfire, should I call my servants too"

Li Xiang grabs his wrist then pull to the next room, "don't expose your identity, and you should not others know about your people or your whereabouts"

hearing what he says I suddenly feel offended so I slap his hand away, "do you I'm that easy to bully, I already know they're your friend besides I only suggested bringing them never attended to expose them!!!"

Li sigh, he just can't win against him, "ok, ok don't be angry I just cared for you, how about this I'll also make soda too.

"yuppy!", I jump happily, completely putting the early conversation behind me

looking at his leaving back Li Xiang put on a helpless smile," I can't win against you but I can sway you back".

The beef gets cut into long pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper, and browned in some oil. all the flavors get added for another hour of cooking- ketchup, apple cider vinegar, dry mustard, chili sauce, and pickling spice.

the long, slow simmer in a spicy barbecue-chili sauce is all a beef top round steak needs to get tender, juicy, and flavorful.
