Liu Bing held his bowl, looking inexplicably at the guy who barged in. The intruder's attire, was he imitating an Owl?

His gaze fell on Luo Li. "Is the security at your complex this bad?"

Luo Li rolled her eyes at Liu Bing and shrugged. "What expectations can you have of those old men? They aren't professional security guards, just gatekeepers. Besides, truly heinous criminals aren't common in society these days."

Liu Bing shook his head, speechless. "Then are they even security? If something really happened, you residents paying for property management would probably have to protect them."

"What can we do? At most, they'll help call the police," Luo Li also shook her head. "But luckily, there's a police station nearby, very close. The police should arrive on the scene soon."

"Oh, that's good." Liu Bing immediately calmed down upon hearing the police were coming soon.

He nonchalantly shoveled rice into his mouth, and vaguely said to the man cosplaying as an Owl, "Hey, buddy, have you eaten yet? Want to join us?"

The man cosplaying as an Owl stared at Luo Li and Liu Bing in utter shock, feeling deeply insulted.

He looked terrifying right now, like an Owl, a Ghoul, a man-eater. Weren't these two afraid? They were just chatting as if he wasn't even there.

"You're looking for death!" The Owl grew angrier the more he thought about it, an unnamable rage igniting within him.

Just as the Owl was about to charge and kill Luo Li and Liu Bing, he felt that extremely pure energy emanating from the food on the coffee table. Especially the aroma of the food, which reignited his appetite.

He immediately paused, then took a step and sat directly on the sofa. "Give me a portion of food."

After becoming a Ghoul, he hadn't eaten normal food, instead directly switching to eating people. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat normal food; after all, how could a normal person change their eating habits so quickly? Especially to suddenly become a cannibal, no one could adapt that fast.

However, the nature of Ghouls was that they couldn't eat normal food; it was a forced change.

Now that there was food that made him regain his appetite, of course he wanted to eat it.

It was like someone who ate normally every day suddenly had to eat raw human flesh for a while. If they wanted to eat something else, all the food tasted like rotten meat, making it impossible to swallow, forcing them to eat the raw flesh.

Now, a table of delicious food was suddenly placed there, and you were invited to have a bite. Would you eat it?

Liu Bing and Luo Li both rolled their eyes at the Owl. You uninvited intruder, and you expect others to serve you food? How shameless can you be? It's good enough that there's food to eat.

Besides, Liu Bing was just being polite, like asking "Have you eaten?" when you meet someone. He didn't expect this guy to shamelessly sit down.

The Owl clearly saw their eye-rolls, but he wanted to eat more right now, so he ignored their expressions and eagerly picked up a piece of braised pork with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

The rich aroma of the meat, the savory sauce, and the exhilarating burst of juices made the Owl unable to stop. It was incredibly delicious!

Then, he truly exploded.

With one bite of the meat, the Owl's body instantly disintegrated.

Liu Bing had actually anticipated this outcome and had set up a formation beforehand. The moment the Owl's body was torn apart by the violent spiritual energy, before any blood could splatter, it was instantly annihilated, as if the Owl had never existed.

"Hiss!" Luo Li couldn't help but gasp, secretly feeling fortunate. Fortunately, Liu Bing hadn't intended to kill her earlier. Perhaps it was because she had behaved well when they first met today.

Otherwise, she would probably have turned into a pile of ash scattered by the wind by now.

Clearly, Luo Li mistakenly believed that the Owl's spontaneous explosion was caused by Liu Bing's abilities. She couldn't help but glance at Liu Bing with some fear, then shrunk back on the sofa like a quail.

"Sigh..." Liu Bing let out a soft sigh and shook his head. "The food is the original sin. You couldn't even handle the spiritual energy in just one piece of meat, and yet you cosplay as an Owl, making it all fancy. Too much of a show."

While saying this, Liu Bing completely forgot that he himself hadn't even lasted one breath in Wa Huang Tian before.

These words, while seemingly a lament, were more like a veiled explanation.

Luo Li naturally caught the key information from his words. She looked up at Liu Bing in astonishment. "Are you saying that he exploded because he ate that piece of braised pork?"

"That's right," Liu Bing nodded. "These dishes are too advanced for you. The rich spiritual energy contained within them far exceeds your absorption limit. Even just one bite, if your strength isn't enough, will cause you to explode on the spot."

After speaking, Liu Bing continued to eat his rice heartily. However, he didn't touch the plate of braised pork again, as the Owl had just grabbed the meat with his hands.

Luo Li looked at the food on the coffee table in shock. Although she really wanted to eat it, she wanted to live more. Fortunately, the Owl had made a demonstration first. Otherwise, Luo Li would have wanted to grab chopsticks and join the meal.

After all, she hadn't eaten normal food for many days. Although she had already burped from absorbing spiritual energy, she hadn't actually eaten it.

"How strong are you, really?" Luo Li found it hard to imagine. The guy cosplaying as an Owl couldn't even handle one piece of meat, yet Liu Bing could eat it heartily without any reaction.

"Hmm, well, I'm very strong." Liu Bing didn't know how to categorize his own level. After visiting the world of the Precious Lotus Lantern and seeing the Grand Unity Golden Immortals there, his Immortal realm felt somewhat strange.

It felt like a mythical Immortal, capable of easily overpowering certain Grand Unity Golden Immortals in other worlds.

Just then, voices came from the doorway again, and several people in uniform rushed in. They were slightly taken aback by the scene in the house.

They had responded to a police report. Seeing the violently damaged door at the entrance, it was clear a serious incident had occurred. But what was with the couple calmly eating inside?

As the police entered, a girl also followed. As soon as she entered, she went straight to Luo Li's side. "Sister A'li, are you okay? Where's the bad guy?"

Luo Li shook her head. "That, the bad guy..."

Luo Li was about to say the bad guy exploded on the spot, but she knew no one would believe her, and if she said she was fine, then what about her door? She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, an orange shadow flashed by and darted to the coffee table, snatching a piece of meat and trying to run.

The speed was astonishing. No one at the scene, except Liu Bing, noticed. However, the little guy clearly couldn't withstand the impact of the spiritual energy. As soon as he grabbed the meat in his mouth, his whole body started to sway as if he were drunk. But due to the excessive speed, he directly crashed into the wall.

With a "boom," the wall was cracked by the impact of the orange figure.

This sound attracted everyone's attention. They all looked over and saw an orange cat lying on the ground. There was a piece of meat by its mouth, clearly the meat it had just snatched, but before it could eat it, it had crashed into the wall and fainted.

It was fortunate it hadn't eaten it. It was only dazed by the spiritual energy, otherwise, it would have exploded on the spot like the Owl just did.
