The jade embedded in the wall near the ceiling gave off a soft, pure glow. Watching someone chat merrily with the man delivering food, Mountainside Li remained silent for a long while.
...This was the first time he had suffered such humiliation.
"Hey, wake up. Stop staring."
At some point, Butterfly Orchid had come over to Mountainside Li. After waving a hand in front of his eyes, she leisurely began picking out food from the little cart.
"Obviously, the people here have a rather pronounced prejudice against monks. If you keep staring, you might end up making him dislike you."
"I just can't understand it."
Drawing back his gaze, Mountainside Li, seated cross-legged on the bed, let out a dejected sigh.
"Clearly, I'm supposed to have the highest affinity in this team. How could it..."
Before he could finish, Mountainside Li suspiciously looked up in Butterfly Orchid's direction.
—Just now, he seemed to have heard a snort of laughter.
After sweeping his gaze over Huan Yan's cool expression and Yuzu, who was curled up in the corner, he precisely fixed his eyes on a certain former superior of his.
"What is it?"
Noticing his stare keenly, Butterfly Orchid held what looked like a bamboo lunchbox in her hand and gave him a puzzled look.
"...Nothing."
Mountainside Li silently turned his head away.
His former superior might seem somewhat timid by nature, but that was merely a façade. Back then, she had achieved the heroic feat of drinking eighteen people under the table by herself at a banquet.
What was more, after getting every last one of them drunk, she had insanely used a video camera to record each of their Scandalous Histories.
Fortunately, he had become an Inheritor and escaped her clutches. Otherwise, he would have had to work 007
