57. Pork Floss Bun, Yummy~ (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets 2)

The girl, feeling embarrassed, covered her stomach and turned her face away from Linuo’s gaze. But her stomach continued to betray her with its gurgling, signaling a desire to eat.

She had been cooped up in the box for too long, and even if one sleeps for a long time, energy is consumed, so it was normal to be hungry.

To think she held a noble status, yet here she was, watching a strange man eat a pork floss bun, while her hungry stomach growled embarrassingly loud.

“I apologize for my rudeness, young master. Please pay it no mind, it’s just some discomfort in my stomach.”

**Gurgle gurgle**

Her stomach made another sound, causing the girl’s face and ears to turn red with embarrassment, leaving her with nowhere to hide her discomfort.

Such a loss of composure, if he knew she was the Princess of Pohan, it would surely bring shame to the royal family.

Linuo watched the girl’s embarrassed state calmly and pulled out another pork floss bun from his pocket.

“Hunger is never something to be ashamed of, go ahead and eat.”

“Ah, young master? There’s really no need, cough cough…”

“Suit yourself, I’ll save it if you don’t eat.”

Linuo placed the pork floss bun on the box and continued to nibble on his own, without a hint of mockery, whether openly or secretly. He had no interest in making fun of someone who was hungry.

Linuo ate his own pork floss bun, indifferent to whether the girl ate or not, and placed it on the box before starting to pack his things, preparing to make a getaway.

The girl kept mentally reminding herself that as a noble princess, she must not lose her composure and accept food from common folk so casually. But her stomach continued to gurgle, unable to resist the temptation of food, and her hand reached for the pork floss bun unconsciously.

She swallowed a bit of saliva.

She had never tasted such folk pastries before, and if not for her starving stomach, she would not have lost her composure to the point of wanting to eat it.

Linuo paid her no attention, busying himself with packing, which made the girl feel a bit better. After all, it would be too embarrassing if she were being watched.

She gently picked up the pork floss bun from the box and took a small bite.

Ah, delicious~

This flaky sweet pastry from the common folk, she didn’t expect it to taste quite good.

Perhaps it was because she was so hungry, but suddenly it felt like the most delicious food she had eaten since she went incognito into the city.

The girl devoured the entire pork floss bun in one go, her little tongue licking the corners of her mouth, still craving more.

She wanted to eat another one, but to ask Linuo for more would be even more unseemly, even an ordinary girl wouldn’t be so impolite.

Her stomach gurgled again, and she looked at the pork floss bun near Linuo’s mouth, swallowing some saliva involuntarily.

Linuo stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the girl.

“How is it, tasty?”

“Delicious, delicious,” the girl nodded repeatedly. “Young Master Lin, what is this pastry called?”

“Pork floss cake. You must be the daughter of a wealthy family, not used to eating such common folk delicacies.”

Linuo finished off the remaining cake in his hand, then pulled out two more pieces from his pocket, tossing one to the girl.

Her eyes lit up at the sight, and she quickly reached out to catch it, then unconsciously started nibbling away.

Ah, so tasty~

The girl’s face was filled with satisfaction, lost in the flaky and sweet treat.

However, Linuo felt quite content. Although he was a major antagonist, he was still human, with human thoughts and desires, willing to share things he enjoyed with others, hoping they would like and appreciate them too. Just like sharing a song or a movie, if others say it’s good, you feel joy and pride, thinking your taste is not bad.

He felt the same about pork floss cakes, wishing the whole world would find them delicious.

“Young Master Lin, what are you doing?”

“Packing up to go home. I suggest you leave quickly too, as this place will soon become a battlefield.”

The girl didn’t understand the situation, but Linuo’s serious tone made her sense the severity.

“I don’t know the way, can you take me back to Huang City?”

“No.”

Linuo flatly refused. He had already packed up materials like crystals, and the black scale stones were directly placed in his pocket.

He could only take so much, selecting only the important items, the rest had to be left behind.

“Find your own way back, farewell.”

He was about to leave with two bundles in hand, but then he felt multiple presences rapidly approaching.

There were also heavy footsteps; he sensed the people outside were less than two hundred meters away.

“This is bad, we’re surrounded.”

Linuo saw through the crack of the door that a group of people was quickly encircling them.

They looked like members of the Dark Alliance.

They were numerous and strong, some even on par with his senior sister Liu Shuqin. To confront them head-on would be a death wish.

What to do? Should he fly away with his sword?

He remembered the time he was chased by dogs, better not.

Rely on phantom clones? They had too many people, that definitely wouldn’t work.

Linuo was troubled, like a turtle trapped in a jar, fish on the chopping board.

“Young Master Lin, what’s wrong?”

The girl, seeing Linuo’s distressed appearance, felt uneasy.

Lin Nuo looked at the girl.

Sigh, there’s only one step left to take.
