My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 165 - 154: How Could Food Have Flavor?

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at Wu You and gently shook his head, "It’s fine."

But Wu You glanced at Xia Panqiu’s back and still felt uneasy.

However, what was done was done, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, handing the water he bought to the two of them.

Chen Lusi reached out to take it, then twisted the cap open and took a sip, the icy mineral water calming him down again.

He thought for a moment, looked at Xia Panqiu, and replied, "Actually, I haven’t formally decided yet."

"..."

Xia Panqiu didn’t speak, she just nodded slightly.

The return of Wu You made her snap back to reality.

What was she just talking about...?

Elsewhere.

Wu You glanced at Chen Lusi, then looked at Xia Panqiu, feeling he was really screwed...

And next, there was nothing else worth noticing.

On the first day.

Nothing happened.

In the evening, the group gathered again.

Chen Lusi said goodbye to Wu You and Xia Panqiu, then left to prepare food for Lin Wan.

In the evening, he couldn’t stay with them, especially since the seventh was approaching.

After dinner, he could come over and check things out.

Sitting by herself, Shu Li watched Chen Lusi leave, with a pitying expression on her face, mumbling to herself, "I wanted to ask him about the Interrupt Technique, but couldn’t get a word in... wasted a whole day for nothing."

Then.

She looked at Xia Panqiu beside her and asked, "Anyway, Panqiu, have you talked to him?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Panqiu froze for a moment, then turned her head, her ears turning red again.

At the time, it didn’t feel like it.

But the more she thought about it now, the more embarrassed she felt...

Seeing Xia Panqiu’s expression, Shu Li was a bit puzzled.

Meanwhile.

Chen Lusi returned to Lin Ying’s house and headed straight to the kitchen as soon as he entered.

Halfway through cooking.

Lin Wan heard the sound and came out of the room.

"Brother-in-law, why did you come back so late?"

Lin Wan leaned against the bar separating the kitchen and dining area, curiously asking as she watched Chen Lusi cook, "This really isn’t normal."

Chen Lusi washed the bell pepper in his hand, then shook his hand, looking at the girl wearing hot pants, revealing a pair of straight, jade-like legs. After hesitating for a moment, he didn’t answer, but instead asked, "Let me ask you something."

"...What was it?"

Lin Wan was slightly taken aback, then leaned forward, her clear eyes full of curiosity staring at Chen Lusi.

This kind of situation was rare.

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment, "Under what circumstances would a girl say that wearing a particular outfit is for someone else to see?"

"..."

Lin Wan froze upon hearing this, then hesitantly replied, "Maybe it’s because she likes him? I’m not sure because I’ve never had such thoughts, and isn’t wearing clothes for your own comfort the most important thing?"

"...Probably not because of liking."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment, shook his head, denying her answer.

Thinking about it, it was impossible... Reality isn’t a novel.

Although Xia Panqiu’s attitude had changed, it couldn’t have changed so drastically.

He didn’t think he was that charming either.

This should be considered one of life’s major illusions.

Thinking of this.

Chen Lusi probably understood and pushed those thoughts aside, continuing to wash the vegetables.

That night.

Still, nothing happened.

The second day, the same.

Time came to the third day.

June 6.

Neither Chen Lusi nor Xia Panqiu could pay attention to anything else.

Because nothing had happened yet.

This meant the eleven members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion had been missing for almost a week.

Still no trace.

This inevitably forced them to think in the worst direction...

"Why can’t we find a single trace!!?"

In the evening.

The group gathered again.

Shu Li untied her twin ponytails and gently scratched her long hair, feeling a little restless.

Clearly knowing there was a problem.

But being unable to find where the problem lay.

It’s like knowing a thorn was stuck in your flesh but being unable to pull it out, so uncomfortable.

Chen Lusi glanced at Shu Li, thought for a moment, didn’t disturb her, but rather told Wu You and Xia Panqiu he was leaving.

Tomorrow Lin Wan had her high school exams.

He had to go back no matter what.

...go back and cook a meal for her, remind her not to worry, and sleep early, then maybe come out and take another look.

Meanwhile.

This time Shu Li didn’t watch Chen Lusi leave because she couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.

"What does Tang Language say about this?"

Wu You thought for a moment and asked.

"She’s more anxious than I am."

Shu Li said helplessly, "She’s already sent the Kunlun people over, but Kunlun isn’t calm either. The ’Celestial Gate Simulation’ keeps getting struck by lightning now and then, and it’s difficult to allocate people, the earliest won’t be until tomorrow."

"..."

Wu You fell into silence.

To see no one alive and no corpses, and no clues whatsoever, was indeed a bit tricky.

"Forget it... Let’s eat first, then wait for the Kunlun people to come!"

Shu Li smoothed her hair, then glanced around at everyone’s furrowed brows, knowing that her anxiety was in vain, and sighed, "Tomorrow when the Kunlun people arrive, let’s see if they can find any clues, though tomorrow is the high school exam day, tsk..."

Saying this.

She sighed again.

Everyone else remained silent.

But for now, there really wasn’t a good solution because they couldn’t even pinpoint the specific ’problem.’

... They could only go eat for now.

Shu Li tied her twin ponytails again, then led the way forward, leading the group to eat.

Jiangchang City’s old district, being a bustling commercial area, naturally lacked no dining spots.

With the city lights just coming on, the aroma of food was everywhere.

The tempting aroma made everyone a bit hungry.

Unconsciously, they quickened their pace.

And Xia Panqiu and Wu You were at the very end of the group, still observing Kang Bai.

Actually, the three of them had been observing Kang Bai over these past few days.

Wu You even secretly used the Heart Sound Reflection several times.

But still hadn’t found anything unusual.

Even at this moment, what Kang Bai was thinking about was still just what to eat later. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Wu You withdrew his Authority Ability, then shook his head at Xia Panqiu.

Xia Panqiu silently intended to say something.

Ahead.

Shu Li and others slowly walked into the shadow cast by the building’s floor... then simply vanished.

Xia Panqiu’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise, immediately turning to look at Wu You.

But before she could speak.

The previously static shadow suddenly surged as if alive.

...

Thirty seconds later, everyone slowly emerged from the shadow.

Xia Panqiu and Wu You still hung at the back of the group.

"What do you want to eat?"

Arriving on the busy street, Shu Li gradually slowed her pace and came to the back of the group, asking Xia Panqiu.

Xia Panqiu gently shook her head, "You decide."

"Let’s eat Hunan cuisine then."

Upon hearing this, Shu Li looked at the nearest Hunan restaurant and directly led the group inside.

Ordering.

Serving.

Dining.

The group devoured their meal.

But Wu You picked up his chopsticks, furrowed his brow slightly, feeling something was amiss.

He picked up a piece of pork liver, popped it into his mouth, chewed it, then instinctively asked, "Why doesn’t it have any taste?"

"What are you talking about?"

Shu Li looked up upon hearing this, laughing, "How can food have taste?"
