Fatty saw a bear cookie smaller than his little finger.

He wondered if he should eat it or not.

It wouldn't fill him up at all!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

While Fatty was agonizing, there was a knock at the door.

Fatty's face lit up when he heard it: "It must be Zhang Banxian back."

"I'll go open the door!"

Saying that, Fatty put down the cookie in his hand, walked out quickly, and opened the door.

He was about to say, "Zhang Banxian, you're finally back, I've missed you so much."

But when he saw the person dressed as a postman, the words got stuck in his throat.

He changed his tune and asked, "What do you need?"

"Is this Jiang Chen's home? There's a letter for him here."

Fatty was a little confused. Seeing the pink envelope in the postman's hand, he replied, "This is Jiang Chen's home, he's inside."

"Please give the letter to Jiang Chen."

The postman handed the letter to Fatty and then left to deliver the next one.

Fatty watched the postman's receding back, feeling a bit puzzled. What era was this? People still delivered letters by hand.

And a pink envelope, it looked like a love letter.

Thinking this, Fatty took the letter and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying, "Brother Chen, your letter!"

His letter?

Jiang Chen had been transmigrated to this world for three years, and no one had ever sent him a letter.

It was a bit strange that someone would suddenly send him a letter now.

He looked at the pink envelope in his hand.

He tore open the envelope and opened it.

Inside, he found a letter paper that smelled of a hundred flowers.

A line of poetry was written on the paper.

"When my hair is long enough to reach my waist, will you marry me, Jiang Lang?"

Fatty leaned over and happened to see the contents.

The meaning of this poem was clearly a love letter.

"Brother Chen, when did you get a suitor?"

"How come I've never heard you mention it?"

"This is a question I'd like to know the answer to as well." Jiang Chen carefully examined the envelope, finding nothing special.

He intended to tear it up.

But Fatty stopped him: "Don't do that, Brother Chen, this is a love letter, why are you tearing it up so casually!"

"Doesn't it strike you as strange that someone you don't know sent you a love letter?"

"I don't want to be bothered by such strange things, and I don't plan on dating anyone right now."

Saying that, Jiang Chen tore up the envelope and the letter and threw them into the trash can.

"By doing that, that girl who has a secret crush on you will be heartbroken."

Fatty said, "My dad always told me that a good man must never make a girl sad or cry, and even less so bully a girl."

"If you're heartbroken, why don't you go comfort her?"

"Better not. She likes Brother Chen, not me!"

Fatty said, shaking his head.

"With your financial standing, finding a wife shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Jiang Chen already knew that Fatty came from an extraordinary background, even a noble one.

Someone from an ancient family, just that identity alone, would attract the attention of countless women.

"They like my money and power, not me. What use do I have for these gold diggers?"

Fatty said firmly, "In the future, the wife I find will definitely be someone I like, and someone who genuinely likes me."

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen didn't want to continue discussing this topic.

He currently had no plans for a relationship, let alone accepting anyone else.

Right now, the most important thing to him was to become stronger.

Strong enough to kill all the demons in the world at will.

Otherwise, if he lost his life, how could he love anyone.

"Fatty, I'm back!"

Outside the door, Zhang Banxian knocked and said.

"It's Zhang Banxian! I'll go open the door!"

Fatty's eyes lit up, and he ran out.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Banxian holding large bags and small packages, his hands almost full. Fatty asked, "You bought so much?"

"With four people plus your gluttonous beast, we can definitely finish it."

Bai Ze, who was in Fatty's pet space, heard this and jumped out indignantly.

"Who are you calling gluttonous? I just have a normal appetite!"

"A pile of food that could feed a cow, and you call that normal?"

"You've almost eaten all of Uncle-Master Jiang's rice, and you still say you're normal."

Bai Ze became unhappy. "I'm a beast, not a human! My normal appetite is just this much, how am I gluttonous!"

"Then eat more! I bought you a lot, all your favorites!"

Bai Ze sniffed with its nose. The aroma was everywhere, and its eyes immediately lit up like diamonds. "It's fried chicken! It's meat! I want to eat!"

"These are all for you!"

Saying that, Zhang Banxian placed a large portion of the food in his hands on the table, signaling Bai Ze to come and eat.

"Then I won't be polite!"

With that, Bai Ze hugged a piece of fried chicken and began to gnaw on it.

Fatty felt a bit embarrassed. His own Contract Beast still had to rely on others to spend money to feed it.

Moreover, Bai Ze had such a huge appetite. Honestly, unless you were rich, you couldn't afford to raise it.

"Don't be embarrassed. I'll just treat it to a couple of meals. You'll still be feeding it later. With such a big appetite, it eats more than a pig. I guess only you can afford to raise it."

"Owoooo!"

Bai Ze's mouth was full of chicken, and it made muffled sounds, meaning it wasn't a pig.

"Stop talking and eat quickly. I'm going to cook."

"Uncle-Master Jiang wants to eat shredded pork with fish-flavored sauce. I've already bought the ingredients."

"I'll help."

Fatty glanced at Bai Ze, then secretly stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth and followed him to the kitchen.

This scene was witnessed by Bai Ze.

It let out an "Owoooo" sound, expressing its protest.

This was its food, and Fatty, as its owner, was snatching it.

Did he have any integrity? Was he not ashamed?

Fatty stroked Bai Ze's head and whispered, "Xiao Bai, I was really hungry, so I just ate one chicken leg. You won't be angry, right?"

What could it say? The chicken leg was already in Fatty's stomach. Could it make him spit it out?

It could only continue to bite the fried chicken resentfully, expressing its displeasure.

"I'm going to help Zhang Banxian cook. You eat slowly!"

Fatty looked enviously at another chicken leg, which Bai Ze was guarding with its small paws, its meaning clear: this is mine, mine.

"Alright, if you don't want me to, I won't eat it!"

Fatty patted his stomach, which felt even hungrier, and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Chen could hear the clanging sounds from the kitchen in his room.

Zhang Banxian said irritably, "Fatty, do you even know how to cook? Why did you bring me the vegetables without washing them?"

"Ah, the vegetables looked very clean, I thought they didn't need washing!"

"Are you stupid? There's pesticide on them, of course, you have to wash them! Otherwise, you'll get a stomachache. Don't you know this common sense!"

"I'll go wash them now!"

"You do have good friends!"

Jiang Chen listened to the sounds outside and didn't expect the Ghost Child to appear again.

He looked at the Ghost Child and said, "You really like to appear and disappear mysteriously."

"Except for you, no one else is qualified to see me!" the Ghost Child said proudly. "I am a Bai Gui, existing since ancient times. What right do ordinary people have to see me?"

Jiang Chen didn't reply but asked, "What do you want?"

"I heard from the Bai Gui that the old hag is going to send you a love letter. You absolutely must not open it!"

"What if I've already opened it?"
