Chapter 393 Cafe
A year ago, the Little Auspicious Grass King performed a miracle by creating giant vines to subdue the out-of-control void host. Since then, many giant vines have been left in the sky above Xumi City.
They were thicker than the roots of the sacred tree. Later, under the guidance of the two grass gods, these vines were transformed into buildings similar to skyscrapers.
Both the House of the Decrees and the Grand Bazaar were built inside the sacred tree, so the Xumi people were quite accustomed to this way of building inside plants.
However, the sacred tree changed its shape into a "tree hole" with the help of the grass god in order to cater to the Xumi people. The sacred tree was not hollowed out artificially, and no harm was done to the sacred tree. The same goes for these vines.
There was only one person who chose to dig up the vines.
"Wow, I haven't been back for a long time, and my little room is still so sunny."
After going to the Church of the Great Mercy Tree King to say hello, Liu Bai and Nashida returned to the room that they had cut out from the inside of the vines using sword energy last year.
After the two of them cleaned the room that had not been occupied for a long time, Liu Bai looked around and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, then I will go back to the Wisdom Palace to help the Great Kindness Tree King. If you have nothing to do, just walk around the city."
After helping Liu Bai clean the room, Nashida explained to him.
She is the one sitting on the throne. She has been away for so long, and it is time for her to come back and help the Great Compassion Tree King handle some official business.
"Okay girl, I'll go buy some food and study my super powers."
Liu Bai nodded and rubbed his belly with one hand.
"So this is what clothes smell like when you lick them...!"
As he rubbed it, he suddenly spoke with some surprise.
"Eh~ Even though I can't taste it with my tongue, it still feels unhygienic. You'd better not try it. Be careful not to get an upset stomach!"
Hearing that Liu Bai tasted the clothes and was going to buy some food to put in front of her belly button, Nashida couldn't help but shrink her neck and reminded him with some disgust.
"Don't worry, girl. I'll just prepare two servings. One for your mouth and one for your stomach. That way you can compare the tastes, right?"
Liu Bai made an OK gesture to Nashida.
"That's not what I meant... Never mind. After all, you won't get sick from eating this."
Nashida spread her hands, but still gave a warning:
"But don't try too much, it's not good to waste food."
Afterwards, Liu Bai sent Nashida to the gate of the Church Order Institute, and he excitedly came to the bustling Baoshang Street.
After looking around, Liu Bai thought it might be a bit strange to put something into his belly button on the street, so he found a cafe and went in.
This Pushpa Cafe is a gathering place for Seven Sacred Summons enthusiasts. It is very lively on weekdays and you can see several tables of guests playing cards as soon as you enter the door.
Liu Bai ordered two cups of coffee and some snacks, then found an empty table in the corner and sat down.
Soon the coffee was served on the table. Liu Bai looked around to make sure no one noticed him. He carefully stretched out his finger, dipped it in the cup of coffee placed across the table, and then carefully put his finger under his clothes.
"Hmm, a bit bitter, not enough sugar..."
"caught you."
Just as Liu Bai was savoring the flavor of the coffee, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, and a young man's voice sounded from behind him.
"I didn't do anything. I didn't waste any food. Don't arrest me and put me in jail!"
Liu Bai was startled and quickly hid his hands and spoke subconsciously.
"You're very nervous. It seems you really did something bad. You might as well tell the truth."
Seeing Liu Bai's reaction, the boy named Seno walked up with a serious face and sat down across the table.
"Oh, it turned out to be a little wolf cub. I was so scared. I thought it was a disciplinary officer..."
Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped his clothes with his fingers to destroy the evidence on them.
"What a coincidence! I am the discipline officer. Tell me honestly what you did."
Seno was also a frequent customer of this shop. He picked up a spoon and stirred the coffee in front of him to make the sugar in it dissolve faster.
"I...I put my finger in the cup of coffee in front of you."
After hearing Seno's question and seeing his actions, Liu Bai had no choice but to confess.
"..."
Seno paused, then silently pushed the coffee aside, and then asked the store manager for another cup of coffee.
During this process, Liu Bai silently drank the coffee in front of him and found that it was not as bitter as the one he tasted in his belly button.
It seems that the tongue is not as sensitive to taste as the belly button...
Liu Bai thought so in his heart.
After ordering a cup of coffee, Senuo sat back down opposite Liu Bai.
"It's been almost a year since we last met. Let's have a duel and show me how good you are at summoning the Seven Saints now."
Sitting down again, Senuo made a suggestion to Liu Bai who was drinking coffee and eating dessert.
"Okay, but I haven't played for a long time..."
Liu Bai scratched his head, but still took out the Seven Saints Summoning Card Set that he had bought in this cafe before from the Little White House.
Since leaving Xumi, this deck has basically not been touched. It has been put into that wooden box as a collection.
"bring it on."
Seno immediately took out his latest deck.
"Last year, you followed Little Auspicious Grass King. I gave face to Lord Grass God and didn't let you lose too badly. But I've thought a lot this past year. Since you cheated our Grass God away, there's no need to give you face anymore. You're still holding an outdated deck from a year ago. Feel the pleasure of being crushed..."
Seno sneered in his heart.
Over the past year, he couldn't sleep all night whenever he thought about how his own god was abducted by a foreigner due to his negligence.
But he couldn't do anything to Xumi's brother-in-law, after all, he was recognized by the Great Compassionate Tree King.
Then, I can only teach him a lesson in other ways...
It is because of this thought that Seno took out the strongest new speed attack deck these days. He wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible.
"Eh? What kind of damage is this..."
"Fuck, how did I lose..."
Everything happened just as Seno expected, Liu Bai lost terribly.
After a few rounds, Liu Bai had lost so much that even the elemental dice could see the grass attribute as the rock attribute, and he showed some signs of being slightly unconscious.
“Do you know why you failed?”
Looking at the confused Liu Bai, Senuo said with some pride.
After hearing his words, Liu Bai came back to his senses and looked at him.
"Your deck... is too weak! Hahaha!"
Seno has challenged many opponents on the road to the Seven Summonings, and Liu Bai is the only one who smiled so happily after he won.
"Wow... Don't be so proud, little wolf cub. I'll ask my girl to buy me a powerful card deck when I get back!"
Seeing Senuo's proud look, Liu Bai could only speak depressedly.
