Chapter 72: You still don't plan on leaving!?

  A long sleep until natural awakening, opening eyes to see a pitch-black scene in front of me, strange, although the lighting here is adjusted by him with dark colors as the main tone, but it shouldn't be so dark...

  "Huh!?" He ripped off the snack bag that was pressed against his face, and in an instant, a pair of golden eyes appeared before him. It was her after all. Looking closer, she seemed even more beautiful, with green long hair falling from her cheeks, delicate features, a doll-like face with a strong aura, and that inexplicable charm. "You trying to scare me?"

  "I'm hungry, I want to eat pizza."

  "So, if you're hungry, just go home and eat... Okay, okay, forget I said that, I'll wait here." When he mentioned going home, Jiǔ Mìng saw a faint glimmer of sorrow in the green-haired girl's eyes, especially since they were so close together.

  Seems like I touched on her sore spot? A bit embarrassing, what to do now?

  "What's the point of staying in a place like this?" Nine Lives muttered to himself, walking up to the coat rack and picking up the large coat and hat hanging from it. Under the gaze of the green-haired girl, he walked into a circle and appeared amidst the ripples in the air.

  "It's very convenient to enter and exit, no wonder I couldn't see any doors or windows." After sitting back in her exclusive position as the Nine-Tailed Fox, the green-haired girl gently brushed her long hair, putting the strands that had fallen over her shoulders back behind her back. As for the sadness in her eyes?

  Has she ever shown up? So I'm saying!

  "A young and tender little guy." The green-haired girl said softly, but instead hoped that Jiǔ Mìng would become even more "mature". Sometimes it's not easy to change the mind of a hot-blooded youth. Although Jiǔ Mìng didn't seem like the hot-blooded type, precisely because of this, the difficulty was actually higher than with a hot-blooded youth.

  Her refusal of his "deal" before was really too abrupt, and it also revealed another idea she had in mind.

  Maybe I was a bit impatient at that time. If he had more of the "evil" element that disregards others, it would be even better...

  On the contrary, in a short observation contact time, she confirmed that Jiǔ Mìng seemed to care about others...

  So this is the most troublesome thing, let's take it slow, wait for him to come back and eat pizza.

  "Pizza?" Wearing a big coat and a big hat, looking around nine years old, it's really puzzling how he can be so careless and ask for things as soon as he comes back after eating snacks like a hamster for several days.

  Still so natural, typical of not taking oneself as an outsider, you don't care about the nine lives indicating that you care, can't find a place to buy pizza... Don't recognize the road and ask Brother!

  He was quickly taken to the place he wanted to go, and the sign that read 'KFC' almost blinded his eyes. It turned out that this world also had such a place, and the prosperity of the business seemed to be even higher than in the world where he lived before.

  Among the ordinary type and the special type for psychics, Jiǔ Mìng hesitated for a while before decisively choosing the latter. After all, ordinary people can also eat it, it's good for the body, just eating too much can lead to over-supplementation, and the price is expensive, of course, the taste will be much better than the ordinary one.

  That green-haired girl isn't exactly an ordinary person... is she?

  Sold several large servings of 'high-end' pizza, Jiǔ Mìng thought about it and still brought two ordinary ones with him. A strange man wearing a big coat and hat in the middle of summer, carrying enough pizza to suffocate someone, walked in and out under the weird gazes of the customers here.

  Back to the mysterious shop, Jiǔ Mìng's first glance fell upon a green-haired girl yawning and looking languid. The scene he had imagined of her being depressed didn't appear... He felt like he'd been cheated.

  As soon as Jiǔ Mìng came back, the green-haired girl was like a little cat, and she couldn't help but move her nose slightly. Her lazy gaze suddenly focused, and directly shifted to the pizza box that Jiǔ Mìng was carrying. On her expression, which seemed to see through the worldly dust, also revealed a few threads of expectation. Jiǔ Mìng thought that if he were to suddenly go crazy now and destroy these few boxes of pizza, would the green-haired girl reveal an even more wonderful expression?

  "Here you go." In the green-haired girl's expectant outstretched hand, Jiu Ling placed one of the pizza boxes from several, and took the rest to the side.

  "...... Isn't this all mine?" The green-haired girl looked at the pizza in her hand in a daze, then looked at the several boxes on Jiǔ Mìng's side, including the packaging. Her box was also somewhat different from the ones in Jiǔ Mìng's hands.

  "When did you get the idea that all of this was bought for you?" Jiǔ Mìng asked, slightly raising an eyebrow.

  "It's really small." She stood up, the green-haired girl walked to his side in front of Nine Lives, bent down and said to Nine Lives' face word by word, "My name is C.C."

  Then she casually took away a few boxes of pizza from Jiǔ Mìng's place, aren't you afraid of getting stuffed to death?

  What's your name got to do with taking away your own food?

  "Honestly, I think I have a good choice now." Jiǔ Mìng said in a low voice, looking at his empty hands. On the other side, the green-haired girl who called herself C.C had already started opening the pizza boxes by herself, and surprisingly, she opened both an ordinary one and a special edition one.

  She made a slight comparison, and then saw her left and right hands simultaneously opening the box, each holding one piece, taking bites from left to right, "Mmm, delicious... What choice? I'll choose this packaged pizza."

  "I think I should be able to throw you in there." Jiǔ Mìng's eyes looked at the 'Boundary Gate'.

  Hearing this, C.C sneered and said, "You're so rude? Let me try!"

  Good grief! Is it now threatening itself?

  Just try it, I'm afraid you won't succeed!

  Nine lives stood up and walked to C.C.'s side, his semi-transparent fingers were about to touch her when a chill from the bottom of his heart stopped his next move. It wasn't life-threatening, but this chill that arose... was it also based on something?

  "Hey, those are mine." Seeing Jiu Ming take a box of pizza and leave, C.C. called out in dissatisfaction, and at the same time moved all the pizzas on the table to her own side.

  "It's clearly something I paid for, how did it become yours?" She gave her a glance, and Jiǔ Mìng flipped open the pizza box, looking delicious.

  CC also stopped eating the pizza in his hand, staring straight at Jiǔ Mìng. Jiǔ Mìng, who was about to take a bite, couldn't eat anymore either. "Anything else?"

  "If you eat it, won't it go to waste?"

  "Hah! You really won't waste it, no need to trouble yourself." Jiǔ Mìng smiled with the corner of his mouth and took a bite of the pizza in his hand. He himself was relieved, good, good, the edible property was still preserved.

  "You're such a cheater, you can obviously eat but say you can't." Seeing the pizza that was 'robbed' by Nine Lives wasn't coming back, C.C. simply gave up, what she had on hand was enough anyway. "I've already introduced myself, aren't you going to respond?"

  "My name is Jiǔ Mìng."

  "Ah."

  C.C nodded and focused on devouring the pizza in her hand, eating at a speed that was noticeably faster than before. In just this short period of time, the pizza from Nine Lives had already decreased by nearly half!

  "It's not going to be given to you." As Nine devoured the last slice of pizza, C.C., who was sitting across from him, had already pulled all the pizzas to her side and was staring at Nine with great vigilance.

  "...Are you really going to stay here?"

  He took a deep breath, and Jiǔ Mìng frowned and asked, saying that he really didn't want to complete that transaction with this girl, which was extremely advantageous for him. Although it was very tempting, he just didn't want to, and maybe his mind would change in the future, but not now.

  "I think this place is pretty good."

  "What's good about a place that's like a cage?" She raised an eyebrow, and it seemed she really was planning to stay here. Anyway, the mysterious shop didn't have a rule about expelling customers; as long as you could get here, you could stay for as long as you wanted.

  "Can't you also endure it?" C.C. said calmly, glancing at Nine lightly, "Just provide me with a fixed amount of pizza every day and I won't bother you."

  "What am I feeding you for?" Jiǔ Mìng said helplessly, scratching his head.

  "I've been staying here for many days and it's very boring, so I happened to flip through a diary."

  "What the hell, how did it suddenly come to someone else's privacy?!" Jiǔ Mìng directly jumped to the counter, opened a drawer, and as expected, the things inside had indeed been moved.

  When C.C. sat back down, she already had a rather infuriatingly strange smile on her face, "Even if you became the deceased, your mentality is still contradictory."

  "Hmph, isn't wanting a partner in life natural?" She rolled her eyes and snorted lightly, "No next time, okay? Otherwise I won't guarantee that I won't do something against my own will."

  "I'm also not interested in exploring other people's privacy through diaries. But as the person who currently understands you best, you won't do something like chasing people away again, will you?"

  "Damn it, woman!" Nine Lives smoothed out the bulge on his forehead and waved at her, "Anyway, the bedroom is empty too, don't add your mouth to this, now get down from my exclusive position, let's switch places."

  "Wait till I finish eating." C.C., who was occupying the middle of the sofa, shifted slightly to one side, "Now you can sit down, but don't touch my pizza."

  She added with concern.

  Almost choked with anger and nearly suffocated, this blood pressure suddenly skyrocketed!!

  "Take your time eating." After a long sigh, Jiǔ Mìng squeezed out a smile, "I'll go take a stroll around the block."

  "Don't forget to bring dinner."

  What do you think you are here?

  "Pizza again!?"

  "A child can be taught."

  "Be careful not to choke yourself."
