Chapter 388 Woman, you are playing with fire

However, the cake that Liu Bai cut was obviously not enough to satisfy Paimeng's stomach. She now ate more than a wild boar.

Fortunately, there was still a lot of this huge cake left, and together with the sumptuous dinner, it was enough for Paimon to fill his stomach.

"Burp... I'm so full. This is the first time Paimon has eaten so much..."

Paimon slumped down on a specially elevated chair, holding his swollen belly.

After eating so much, her belly was completely swollen as if she was pregnant for ten months. If it were an ordinary person, she would have died of fullness long ago, but this little girl was special.

"Overeating is a bad habit, Paimon. Do you want me to set some nutritional intake standards for you?"

Looking at Paimon who was holding her stomach and unable to move, Nashida shook her head and said to her.

"Eh? Let's not do that. I just eat a little more occasionally..."

Paimon spoke weakly after hearing Nashida's suggestion.

"It's okay, girl. Let her eat more. She'll be fatter so she can be full in an emergency."

Liu Bai spread his hands and said to Pai Meng.

He had just been unable to snatch the food from Paimon, and he was already too full to eat anymore.

"Paimon is not emergency food, Liu the fool!"

Paimeng glared at Liu Bai angrily and tried to sit up but was unable to do so because her stomach was too big. Instead, she almost rolled off the specially raised chair. Fortunately, Ying reached out and supported her.

"It's not up to you to tell me whether it's true or not. I have to use my tongue to taste it to confirm it... Ouch?!"

Liu Bai licked his lips and spoke, but as soon as he finished speaking, Nashida pulled his ear.

"Okay, okay, now that you're full, help clean up. Don't waste the leftovers and cake. Save them for tomorrow."

After pulling Liu Bai's ear and interrupting his conversation with Paimon, Nashida reminded him.

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

When she and Paimon lived with Liu Bai, Nashida refused to accept their food expenses, so she had to help with housework and washing dishes.

"I'll come too... Never mind, I can't fly, I'll come and help you later..."

Paimon tried but failed to fly, so he had to give up the idea of ​​helping.

……

In the next few days after that, Liu Bai took on commissions every day as usual. After completing the commissions, he would go around and occasionally go to Heyu Teahouse to see if there was any performance by Yunjin.

However, on this day, Liu Bai often heard a topic, everyone was discussing Yaedo's novel...

"Yaedou?"

Liu Bai inquired about it in confusion and found out that Yaedo originated from Inazuma and was a publishing house that mainly published "lightweight popular novels". In the early years, it had branches in various countries, although except for Inazuma's home country, they were not very large.

But precisely because of its small scale, after Inazuma closed its doors to the outside world a few years ago, its branches in various countries lost their light novel resources and closed down one after another.

But recently, a fox fairy came from nowhere to run the Yajendo branch in Liyue again, and "kidnapped" several authors from the original publishing house to join, suddenly forming a fierce competitive relationship with the local publishing houses in Liyue.

"Wow, let's take a look..."

Liu Bai became interested after hearing this. After all, his novel was about to be published, and the influence of the emperor's soul returning to heaven had gradually passed.

Originally, Yaedo was very small and could not afford to open a shop in a prime location like Feiyunpo, but a few days ago, an ally who was copying learned about this and immediately gave her a bunch of Mora as sponsorship.

Although he was a little disgusted by the saliva on the Moras, the pink-haired fox still took these Moras to rent a shop as the new store of Yaedo.

With her eloquence, she even persuaded several authors to publish new books in Yaedo, thus regaining popularity for Yaedo.

In addition, she asked Ganyu for help and contacted Inazuma's Yaedou, and sent some newly published or long-published novels, intending to make Yaedou famous in one fell swoop.

After all, Yaedo's light novels are still very popular among young people, and there are too few forms of entertainment in this world.

"Wow, these are all novels I haven't read yet..."

Arriving at Yaedo Hall, Liu Bai curiously picked up a book from the shelf and took a look at it.

The Domineering Judge Falls in Love with Me

"..."

"?"

For some reason, Liu Bai felt that this book looked familiar.

Then he picked up the next one.

"The Kingdom from the Center of the Earth and a Flower for You"

This time it was normal, but I didn't quite understand what type of story it was from the title.

"How did you come?"

Just as Liu Bai was looking around at the novels on the Yaedang bookshelf, a pink-haired fox suddenly jumped onto the bookshelf nearby and asked Liu Bai.

"Fuck, the fox can talk!"

Liu Bai was flipping through the book "The Domineering Judge Fell in Love with Me" when he was suddenly startled by the pink-haired fox on the bookshelf.

"Ahem, sir, this is our Yaedo-do's editor-in-chief, the Great General Shenhu. He is no ordinary fox."

Hearing Liu Bai's exclamation, the editor next to him couldn't help but cough lightly and said to Liu Bai.

"General Shenhu..."

Liu Bai muttered and glanced at the pink-haired fox in front of him.

"I have nothing to do recently so I opened a bookstore just to pass the time. If you want to buy some books, feel free to take a look."

The pink-haired fox waved to the editor next to him to signal him not to make trouble, and then spoke to Liu Bai.

"okay."

Liu Bai nodded and habitually reached out to touch the pink-haired fox's head, although it was slapped away the next second.

Afterwards, Liu Bai started reading a light novel in the store. There were many customers in the store and no one noticed him reading a novel in the corner.

It was not until the evening that Liu Bai came to his senses.

Among all the books in the world, only novels and storybooks can make Liu Bai not sleepy and even attract him.

"Oh……"

"Bought it!"

Seeing that it was getting late but he hadn't finished reading the book yet, Liu Bai had no choice but to buy it.

After leaving Yaedang, Liu Bai couldn't wait to return home.

At this time, Nashida was preparing dinner. When she heard the door open, she walked to the kitchen door to check. She saw Liu Bai came in and immediately trotted towards her excitedly.

Before Nashida could ask what made her so happy, Liu Bai grabbed Nashida's wrists, lifted them over her head and pressed them against the wall.

"Eh?"

Suddenly being pressed against the wall, Nashida couldn't help but blush and looked up at Liu Bai with some confusion.

"..."

Liu Bai maintained this posture for a while. After feeling a little embarrassed at first, Nashida realized that Liu Bai did nothing and tilted his head in confusion.

"……Wait a mininute."

Liu Bai quickly turned around and opened the book with one hand.

After a while, Liu Bai put away the book, turned around, stretched out a finger and gently lifted Nashida's chin.

"Woman, you are playing with fire."

Liu Bai spoke in a deep tone.

“…I’m cooking.”

Nashida was silent for a moment and then answered seriously.

……
