Ming Li stared impassively at Han Chen, making him feel incredibly awkward.
"Big... big boss? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? It's making me feel all creepy inside."
Ming Li shifted her gaze and asked coldly, "Are you full?"
Hearing this, Han Chen patted his bulging stomach and let out a satisfied sigh, "I'm full!"
Ming Li: "Then you can get lost."
Han Chen: "...Um, big boss, do you still need someone to eat? I can bring my own bowl..."
Ming Li’s expression remained unchanged, and she suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
Seeing Ming Li remain silent, Han Chen shamelessly continued, "Big boss, how about you lend me your chef!"
Ming Li: "..."
"No! Big boss, don't agree to him!" Before Ming Li could speak, the system rushed out of the kitchen, blocking Ming Li with a defensive stance and glaring at Han Chen with unfriendly eyes.
Han Chen, seeing the system again, instantly realized something. He jumped up in fright, stammering, "B-big boss, I just remembered I have something to do. Um... my mom just called me home for dinner, so I'll be going now! See you later, big boss!"
Before he finished speaking, Han Chen was already gone from the house, running faster than a rabbit, as if being chased by a monstrous beast.
Finally reaching the ground floor, Han Chen bent over, hands on his knees, and gulped, panting heavily, looking like he had escaped from hell.
Damn it! He just remembered that this big boss didn't seem like a normal human. How brave was he to have been eating at her place just now? It was good he ran fast! Otherwise, he would have been dragged down with her.
Ming Li: "...I don't eat people, thank you."
Upstairs.
After Han Chen left, the female ghost, who had been floating in the air like an invisible spirit, appeared. She drooled over the food on the table that Han Chen hadn't finished.
She was truly enlightened this time! In this day and age, even pigs could cook! And the food looked delicious, it was too surreal, completely refreshing her understanding of the world!
Thinking of the time she was hit by a cucumber, the female ghost's eyes lit up. She tidied herself up, and when she looked less terrifying, she floated towards Ming Li, "Little girl, I want to..."
Ming Li's expression remained impassive, but thinking of this person as a mission target, she frowned. In the next second, a ball of purple fire appeared in her hand, burning the food on the table into a pile of black char.
A'wan, the female ghost, her eyes lit up, and she pounced on it. However, after taking a bite, she couldn't eat it anymore. "Ugh! So bitter!"
Ming Li glanced over and gave a subtle cough, "I didn't control the heat properly just now and burnt it."
As A'wan's expression contorted, a row of white candles appeared in front of her. A clear voice came from above, "If you're hungry, eat this."
A'wan: "...Okay."
So, Han Chen, who had returned to get Ming Li's contact information, saw a female ghost gnawing on a candle...
Han Chen: "..."
