Chapter 126 So that's how it is!
The glutton stared at Shannai for a while, seemingly deep in thought, ignoring the three brothers behind it shaking it vigorously.
In a few breaths, the glutton nodded vigorously and revealed a big smile, "I'll be good, don't stop me from eating delicious food."
Seeing the chubby creature's remorseful expression, Shan Nai jumped up and patted its shoulder with her paw. "Very good, go line up to buy some."
The mischievous brothers watched helplessly as their teammates eagerly ran off to join the queue.
"Oh, brother, I knew why you called it here. It's a stupid thing that only knows how to eat."
"It is stronger than us in combat."
"It ran away, what do we do now? Should we just overturn the stall?"
"Shut up, all three of you come with me for a moment." Shan Nai said coldly and ruthlessly, holding the harpoon.
Mischief-makers love to cause trouble and are unruly and curious.
"Where did this little cat demon come from! Is it new? I've never seen it before..." The eldest brother scratched his head.
My head was already bald, and the more I scratched it, the balder it became.
The second and third brothers looked at each other, shook their heads, and said in unison, "I've never seen it either."
The three brothers knew this area so well that they had no recollection of Shannai.
Yamana really didn't want to make a move in front of so many diners; she didn't take this brat seriously at all.
"How dare you little brats know my name!" Shan Nai speared the three of them with a harpoon, lifted them up, and ran into the bamboo grove by the Naihe Bridge.
"what……"
The three ghosts let out a series of ghostly wails and howls.
'Boom! '
As soon as Shan Nai entered the bamboo forest, she stabbed the three mischievous brothers, along with their harpoons, to the ground.
Although she has no cultivation now, she hasn't forgotten how to fight.
The key point is that this harpoon was produced by some high-level god-level dimensional system. She encountered a few will-o'-the-wisps while gathering firewood, and she took them down one by one with the harpoon. It was very effective.
Look, the troublemakers who were harpooned can't move at all; they're completely subdued.
Harpoon weapons are nice.
"Brother, what kind of magical artifact is this? I can't move it..."
"How was I supposed to know? My neck was practically broken, and even invisibility didn't work!"
"Big brother, second brother, please think of something and save me!"
Shannai stood arrogantly in front of them, her pupils narrowed to slits, and extended her cat paws, flashing sharp claws. "Cat demon? This grandma is your spirit cat ancestor! You dare to cause trouble, you dare to try to overturn my stall!"
Shan Nai attacked with both claws, striking from both sides, punching, kicking, and scratching fiercely with her sharp claws.
Before long, the three brothers were beaten black and blue, their bodies covered in long, bloody welts.
"No! Stop hitting me! I won't do it again..."
"Grandma, please have mercy on us! Ouch...it hurts!"
Shannai showed no mercy, pressing them to the ground and rubbing them all over, finally stringing them together with a harpoon and sending them into the ghost prison.
When they were sent to prison, even the warden was shocked. The three troublemakers were no ordinary little devils; they were quite capable and usually committed many evil deeds and caused trouble everywhere. It was not easy to catch them all at once.
If even one escapes, the remaining two, even if captured, can be rescued by the other using an ancestral secret method, making them very difficult to deal with.
Now that they've collected all three, they'll be sentenced to at least 100 years in prison.
And... this month's performance review will be a breeze.
The warden was very pleased and rewarded Shannai with the bounty!
Clutching the heavy bag of prize money, Shan Nai was overjoyed, a happy smile spreading across her face. "This money counts as mine, right? Meow hahaha!"
The popularity of mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot) continued to rise even on the third day.
When Yamana got tired, she would rest on a big tree, and the event system would also distribute boxed lunches on time.
By this time, Shannai had already received a notification from the backend system.
She only settled the wages for the cowards and sent them home.
"There's only one hour left in the competition... Great! I wonder if I can get into the top three." Yamaha reclined gracefully in her chair, tucking her little paws in.
Her gaze, however, fell upon the sea of red spider lilies on the other side of the River of Oblivion.
Flowers bloom for a thousand years, and wither for a thousand years.
Flowers and leaves cherish each other, but will never meet again.
"It's so beautiful..." Shan Nai really didn't expect that the heavenly lightning didn't send her to the underworld, but instead sent her here to participate in the system competition.
"Boss! I'm here again~"
A humanoid ghost appeared silently in front of Yamana's stall.
"Hmm? Oh... it's you! How is it? Did your family send you any money?" Shan Nai raised her eyes and recognized it as the ghost who knew about spicy hot pot on the first day.
The spirit tilted its head back, closed its eyes, and tried to force a smile, but no matter how hard it tried, its face looked more like a grimace. "Mmm."
Although it wasn't sent to me, I still got something, hehe. The departed soul comforted itself in its heart.
It only when it went to the Dream Interpretation Platform did it realize how tragically it had died.
It has a twin sister, but she is better than it in every way, and its parents' love is never shown to it.
It wasn't until my older sister became seriously ill and needed one of her kidneys that my parents suddenly became kinder to her.
Once, it overheard a doctor saying that its kidney was a very good match for its sister, but she was in poor health and would be at great risk of dying if it were removed and given to her.
"My little sister is already crippled, so there's not much point in her living. But my Da Bao is so outstanding... I have to save Da Bao!"
Those were my mother's own words.
But Mom seems to have forgotten that its leg was hit by the car while saving its sister.
The parents lied to it, saying that both the older sister and it would survive, so that it could donate a kidney to the older sister without worry.
It asked its mother, "Have you ever loved me?"
Mom fell silent.
At that moment, it had already decided to give up.
It's just a life. Since you gave it to me, I'll give it back to you.
It secretly climbed onto the hospital rooftop and saw its mother frantically begging, scolding, crying, and fainting.
And then it finally smiled, opened its arms, and fell freely like a beautiful butterfly.
Its parents would never send it money. The coins it has are just a few notes that the family members at the grave next door sent it out of pity.
But it was already quite satisfied; 500 coins was enough for a meal of spicy hot pot and a bowl of Meng Po soup.
The ghost sat in front of the stall, savoring the spicy hot pot in small bites, eating each bite with extra care, trying to remember its flavor.
"Boss, your mala tang is so delicious, even better than the ones I've had before!" This is the one it picked itself, not the leftovers that its sister didn't like.
Upon hearing this, Shan Nai looked at the departed spirit and noticed a faint smile on its face.
"Mmm, if it's delicious, eat more." Yamana smiled at it.
After finishing the spicy hot pot, Shan Nai watched as the departed soul bought a bowl of Meng Po soup, drank it all in one gulp, and slowly walked towards the Bridge of Helplessness.
"May it be happy and healthy in its next life," Meng Po said silently, her eyes closed and her hands clasped together.
[The management system competition is about to end. Please prepare and await teleportation.]
The notification sound rang again, pulling Yamana back to reality.
She's leaving too.
I wonder what Meng Po will do after she leaves.
After spending three days together, Shan Nai discovered that Meng Po had no other relatives or friends, and spent her days cooking and selling soup all by herself, as if she were waiting for someone.
Although her eyes were full of tenderness, Yamana still felt an overwhelming loneliness.
"Sister, I'm leaving now. I hope you'll be happy every day from now on!"
Shan Nai obediently came to Meng Po's side, raised her head, and sincerely offered her blessings and farewell.
Meng Po looked bewildered. "Isn't this spicy hot pot selling quite well? Where do you want to go this time, you naughty girl~"
After saying that, the large, cold, boneless hand gently covered Yamana's round cat head and stroked it lightly.
"Hmm..." Shan Nai tensed up when her head was suddenly patted, then instantly became limp, her eyes becoming incredibly cute, and she even wanted to rub against Meng Po's palm.
【Transmission begins.】
Yamanaka's body gradually became transparent.
She saw the spicy hot pot stalls at the Naihe Bridge slowly disappearing, and the surrounding crowd began to disperse, each returning home.
Meanwhile, Meng Po sat back down at her stall and picked up a ladle to continue stirring the soup pot.
Everything was so calm and natural, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Meow~" A little orange cat jumped down from under the tree and ran to Meng Po's feet.
"Little Orange, where have you been these past few days? I even dreamt yesterday that you've grown up, you're so cute~" Meng Po picked up the little orange cat and held it affectionately in her arms.
Shan Nai suddenly felt relieved, her face beaming with a smile, "So it's Little Orange!"
