This time, Bai Zhi thoroughly enjoyed the hot pot.
...Far too thoroughly.
Because of the rivalry between Fireworks of Romance and Calamity Reimu, he had eaten nearly half of the lobsters, crabs, and everything else by himself... The key was that he had no choice but to eat.
After Yu Xing and the others left, Bai Zhi first handed the damaged [Twenty-sided Dice] to Calamity Reimu for repairs, then hurriedly followed the others out onto the streets as if fleeing.
Although he had paid off his Spiritual Energy debt, he was still severely injured and weakened. Under these circumstances, the best thing to do was soak in the supposedly highly effective Life Spring Water.
The shop run by those forest elves had astonishingly good business.
The price was a little steep, but you got what you paid for. Back in the day, Life Spring Water had been a holy relic of the Elf Race, so its effects went without saying.
And that soak lasted more than two hours.
There was not much to say about the process. Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning was that he encountered a Dragon resembling the kind from Western fantasy. Its enormous body, over twenty meters long, occupied most of the bathing area.
After finishing its soak, the Dragon transformed into the appearance of a young man, leaving Bai Zhi utterly dumbfounded.
It was undeniable that Players like dragons, elves, and Ju Jing possessed considerable combat strength even without becoming Players.
"Come to think of it, West Pavilion Gardener seems to be this kind of Player too. I remember he's a Vampire..."
Thinking to himself, Bai Zhi stepped out through the doors under the elves' hospitality, only then realizing that night had quietly fallen at some point.
