"Burp~ I'm so full."
Xi Jian patted her bulging belly and let out a satisfied burp.
Qi Xiao and the others walked out of the 'Pot Full of Goodies' hotpot restaurant, with happy expressions on their faces.
Li Huizi and Lao Liu were still carrying gift bags from the restaurant, which contained toys and snacks.
The delicious hotpot dispelled the gloom from their previous unfortunate visit to the 'Hakka Cuisine' restaurant.
"The soup base at this restaurant is really good, no wonder the line was so long."
"Thirty plates of lamb rolls, Xi Jian, didn't you say you're allergic to lamb?"
"Ah, did I say that? I don't remember."
"I misremembered, you're just allergic to lamb head."
Qi Xiao corrected him.
"Let's go, we're all full, time to go home and sleep."
"Ah? Are we going back already? Aren't we going to walk around a bit more? It's not every day we get out."
"Just consider it a post-meal stroll."
Qi Xiao burped, "I can't walk anymore."
Lao Liu echoed Qi Xiao, saying,
"I can't walk anymore either, Xi Jie, let's go back, it's already one o'clock."
"Even the Great Marshal Black Wind is sleepy."
"Alright. I still want to buy some fruit, Hui Hui, are you coming?"
Li Huizi nodded, and Xi Jian happily linked arms with Li Huizi, tossing the gift bag in Li Huizi's hand to Qi Xiao:
"Then you guys rest here for a bit, we'll be back after we buy the fruit."
Xi Jian and Li Huizi found a very large fruit store.
Papaya, papaya...
Xi Jian searched for her target among the dazzling array of fruits.
After finding the papaya, Xi Jian took the largest bag and began to fill it.
Just then, a woman in an apron, resembling a sales clerk, approached Xi Jian.
She held an egg-sized red fruit in her hand.
"My dear sister, this works better than papaya."
She leaned into Xi Jian's ear and whispered,
"This is called Wood Egg Fruit, it's a specialty from other worlds."
"If you eat it tonight, you'll see the effect by tomorrow morning."
"Look at me, I grew this big by eating this."
After speaking, she turned around, showing Xi Jian her impressive curves.
"It's been out of stock recently, if you miss it, you'll have to wait at least a month."
Xi Jian took the Wood Egg Fruit from the woman's hand with a skeptical look.
"Does it really work that well?"
"Absolutely, it even works for men."
"However, for men, the effect is on the lower body, you know."
"This, this is so magical? It can even target specific needs."
"We're all sisters, big sister would never trick you. Look, big sister's shop is right here, if it doesn't work, you can always come back and find big sister!"
"There are only two left, I'll give you a discount, five train coins."
"Train, train coins?"
Xi Jian awkwardly put down the Wood Egg Fruit in her hand.
Ever since she got on Qi Xiao's Train, she didn't have any train coins left.
Not a single one!
Back in the day, I was someone who would wake up every morning and find train coins refreshed in my vehicle!
Damn it!
Xi Jian found Li Huizi, who was picking strawberries on the other side.
"Hui Hui, do you still have any train coins? Lend me a few."
Li Huizi shook her head, indicating she had none.
Xi Jian suddenly felt like a poor sister out shopping, seeing something she liked but couldn't afford.
No, for my future, I'll go back and ask Qi Xiao to lend me a few coins!
Finding Qi Xiao and Lao Liu sitting by the roadside, Xi Jian extended her hand, looking at the shop next to them and said,
"Lend me five train coins, I'll pay you back later."
She didn't dare to look directly at Qi Xiao; people who borrow money are always a bit guilty.
This guy values train coins a lot, will he not give them to me?
Hmm, it's very possible.
Just give them to me, don't force me to kneel and beg you!
I have my pride too!
Although only three seconds had passed, Xi Jian felt like three hours had gone by.
Until she felt her hand sink.
Qi Xiao placed the train coins in her hand.
"Is ten enough?"
"Boss is generous! Boss is a good person, good things will happen to him, he'll have twins!"
Qi Xiao waved his hand, signaling Xi Jian not to flatter him anymore.
"Same old rule, borrow ten, give seven, return thirteen!"
"I knew it, you greedy Qi!"
...
The shop owner took the five train coins Xi Jian handed her, placed the two Wood Egg Fruits into an exquisite gift box, and gave it to Xi Jian.
"Sister, I knew you had good taste."
"It's even better if you eat it before bed, no need to peel, just wash it clean and eat it."
Xi Jian carefully put it away, then looked at Li Huizi:
"Hui Hui, is there anything you want to buy? I still have five train coins."
Li Huizi shook her head; she had only bought some ordinary strawberries and grapes.
"Then let's go back."
Although she bought the Wood Egg Fruit, Xi Jian didn't give up on papaya and still bought a bag of it.
She hugged a large bag of fruit, happily turned to leave, and bumped into a solid chest.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Xi Jian looked up at the person she bumped into.
Abs, blonde hair, black horns.
"Long time no see."
That voice...
Confirmed, it's that male succubus from Transfer Station!
He still wore the black leather collar around his neck, but the nun who had been leading him was nowhere to be seen.
Xi Jian suddenly felt a bit hot, and her face flushed instantly.
She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear and softly replied,
"L-long time no see."
...
Xi Jian left the fruit store.
Not far behind them, the male succubus smiled, his green eyes watching them.
The silver chain on his neck slowly appeared.
At the same time, the nun appeared beside him.
"How is it?"
The male succubus bowed, performing a butler's salute:
"Through physical contact, I've confirmed the parasite is still there."
"It's much stronger than before, and it's recovering very quickly."
The nun nodded.
"I added her as a friend at Transfer Station before, but she still hasn't accepted."
"I didn't expect to meet her here before leaving, it must be destiny's arrangement."
The nun clasped the cross on her chest and said seriously,
"Exorcism."
"Now?"
"I'm worried that the next time we meet, she won't be herself anymore."
The male succubus nodded, indicating he understood.
"But we can't do it here, this is within Pi City's protected area."
"We still need to show some respect to Pi City's enforcers."
"You follow her and make your move once she's confirmed to be outside Pi City's boundaries."
The nun released the male succubus's collar, and his figure gradually became transparent until he was completely invisible.
Succubus — Lesser Invisibility Spell.
