Don't Take Me Back to the Demon King's Palace, I'll Eat My Last Meal

"Chun Qiu! Use Hundred Thousand Volts on it!! Quick Attack!!"

Hua Xin's mask had been removed at some point, revealing her original beauty. She stood up, pointing excitedly at the lawn in front of her, looking expectantly at Chun Qiu, who was lying on the ground, hoping it would flick its tail and get furious like some other cat.

"Meow... (That's a mouse's move.)"

Chun Qiu wagged its tail, acknowledging the statement.

"Tch..."

The girl randomly waved a long blade of grass in front of its face, but Chun Qiu remained lazily with its eyes closed, showing no interest.

Then, Hua Xin casually threw the grass away, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly as if she had thought of something.

The cat teaser isn't working...

Looks like I'll have to bring out the secret weapon!

She picked up her schoolbag, opened the innermost compartment, and took out a plastic bag containing about a third of a bun. The meat filling was still fresh. The girl had only eaten the wrapper and a small portion of the filling.

Hua Xin's eyes twinkled with a triumphant look as she held the bun above Chun Qiu's nose.

"Sniff... sniff..."

Chun Qiu's nose twitched, and then it instantly stood at attention, reaching out its white paws to gently nudge her hand, but it didn't extend its sharp claws.

"Hehe."

The girl crouched on the ground, looking dotingly at the cute, skinny creature and placed the bun on the ground.

"Little cat, you can eat the beef bun!"

Chun Qiu: "Chew chew chew chew chew chew chew."

She had originally planned to mix it with rice for dinner at home, as beef was quite precious...

But Hua Xin felt a special connection with Chun Qiu. What other Hachimi was so obedient and affectionate? A keycap? What a good cat!

It was truly her pure and noble soul that attracted the little animal (proud).

All the filth had been dealt with and removed.

Watching it... she actually felt a bit hungry too.

Chun Qiu ate the bun very quickly, finishing it in just a few bites. Then, it licked its paws with its tongue and groomed its whiskers.

Hua Xin hugged Chun Qiu and sat on the wooden planks of the pavilion, contemplating whether to abduct it and take it home.

She had always wanted a Hachimi, but online purchases were too expensive, and she never went out, so she couldn't encounter any wild little sprites hiding in the grass. She had to settle for raising mosquitoes in the summer.

"Meow! (Brother Sang, save me!)"

Suddenly, another impassioned cry came from a distance. As if summoned, Chun Qiu opened its eyes, wriggled out of Hua Xin's embrace, and ran towards the Big Orange Cat that had appeared in the distance.

Hua Xin: "??"

Wait, I haven't even bought a Poké Ball yet...

In an instant, Chun Qiu and the Big Orange Cat disappeared, leaving the girl alone and bewildered in the wind.

"Forget it... I'll come back when I have time..."

"You ate my bun... you're not getting away! (Confident)"

She picked up the plastic bag from the ground and put it in her schoolbag, planning to reuse it as a trash bag when she got home.

Hua Xin walked out of the pavilion, intending to wander around the school by herself.

At least she needed to find the teaching building. That way, after recording Xia Yan and Lin Qingyu's ugly faces, she could report them to the counselor.

Being so stupid that they wouldn't fight back even when attacked was a thing of the past (cold laugh).

Just wait for the cyberbullying!

"Hm?"

As soon as she stepped out of the small grove, the girl saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"Dong Miao!?"

Hua Xin's eyes turned incredibly cold. Seeing his back, she instinctively wanted to stab him from behind.

I should sneak back first... I'll use my phone to get directions...

The girl tiptoed, preparing to retreat into the small grove to avoid Xia Yan's gaze.

"Hua Hua?"

"Why are you here by yourself?"

Xia Yan's familiar voice sounded from behind, his tone filled with confusion and surprise.

??

Hua Xin froze in place as if struck by the Sunflower Acupuncture Hand.

Does he have eyes in the back of his head??

Wait!

The young girl, hearing the approaching footsteps, quickly pulled a mask from her pocket and put it on. Sweating, she pulled down the brim of her hat, completely concealing her face.

She had taken off her mask earlier to pet the cats. If she were discovered…

(A pat on the shoulder.)

(An electric current, as if about to be sliced, flowed from her shoulder to every part of her body.)

"It really is you, Hua Hua," Xia Yan said, his voice filled with pleasant surprise as he looked at her familiar attire.

He had originally planned to pick up Hua Xin at noon, maybe take her out for some meat, and then they could go to the sports field together to watch the performances in the afternoon.

But Xia Yan hadn't expected…

That Hua Xin would be able to go out by herself and come to the school!

"Why didn't you tell me? You could have just called me if you wanted to come to school."

(And if I told you, would you tell me where you were making out with people? ????, are you stupid?)

"What's on your clothes? There's so much fur?"

"Which cat did you run into?"

(Whoa? She's touching her? Touching her? Touching her??…)

Xia Yan, completely oblivious to Hua Xin's mood, grabbed her sleeve and started pulling her forward as he spoke.

"Let me tell you, Brother Hua, our school has so many cats. They're even divided into three gangs…"

"The strongest among them is a Chinese Li Hua cat. Although it's just a young cat that's still growing, it's incredibly fierce. It leads a Big Orange Cat and a Black Cat to dominate the East Campus…"

"We all call it Sang Biao."

However, the young girl, lost in her own chaotic thoughts, heard his words with only one ear.

(Don't pull me…)

(Where are we going??…)

(Where are the security guards? The teachers? Come out and save me!)

(Sang Biao? He said his nickname is Sang Biao? He wants to use pipes to hit me and unify the East District??)

"Here, did you have breakfast yet?"

Xia Yan released the girl's sleeve and dangled the buns and soy milk from the plastic bag in his hand in front of Hua Xin.

"Beef buns and freshly ground soy milk. My treat."

(Ding, sorry, your sentence may contain 'bun'zi. I can assume you are tempting Hua Xin with food. The keyword has been triggered. Please forgive the workings of your brain???? Arrangement!

You just said the word 'bun', didn't you? I think beef buns are the most delicious food…………)

Hua Xin's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at the tender white steamed buns in front of her…

Seeing the girl's reaction, Xia Yan felt both heartache and amusement.

"Let's go, follow me upstairs."

"By the way, do you know we were originally in the same dorm??? Is this considered going home?"

"Our beds are right next to each other…"

Xia Yan walked into the dormitory building with a smile, slowing his pace to wait for the girl to catch up.

Her reason restored by the allure of food, Hua Xin looked at the "Male Dormitory" in front of her with confusion.

Had he brought her to the Demon King's palace?

Words like "mugwort," "having a soccer team," and "parking all night at Maple Leaf Evening" resurfaced in her memory.

Hua Xin shook her head vigorously, driving away these dreamlike thoughts.

This is reality!!

If I have to go, I'll go!??

It's just a last meal before execution!

I'll eat it??.
