Feast Time! I Finally Got to Eat!

A moment later, the door to the dining room was opened by a series of dark, elusive auras, and Yu Xing peeked inside.

Behind him, several other heads made the same gesture.

Moved by Yu Xing, the ghosts decided to embark on a grand adventure together in the dining room.

The main reason is that Yu Xing has a kind of aura that makes them very afraid. It seems that they would not gain anything by fighting him. It would be better to listen to what he said. If they could enter the feeding room, they would be the ones who would benefit the most!

Otherwise, why would they be waiting outside the feeding shed? Isn't it because there's something they're after inside?

Then, they saw the kitchen door, which had remained closed for so many years, opened easily in the hands of this human.

"Yay!" Yu Xing glanced around and seemed to sense something in the house, but it wasn't dangerous; it was probably food or something similar.

He walked in with a smile, and the ghosts following behind him sprang to life like arrows, wandering around the room as if a husky that had been cooped up at home for too long had suddenly been released.

As Yu Xing walked around, he gradually adjusted to the darkness, and the room became more bearable. After looking around for a while, he divided the dining room into two parts.

One area is the dining area, with wooden tables and chairs neatly arranged, large enough to accommodate several hundred people eating together.

The other was the kitchen, which was the part Yu Xing was most interested in. The kitchen was separated into a small space, and at that moment, the aroma of meat and the stench of fish wafted out from the kitchen at the same time.

Ingredients...

Yu Xing turned and headed towards the kitchen, but when he turned his head, he saw that the big-headed hungry ghost was still following behind him.

Its ravenously hungry eyes were fixed on him, a drool dripping from the corner of its mouth, as if urging him to quickly fulfill his promise to feed it, or as if it hadn't given up on the idea of eating him.

"Then come with me and take a look." Yu Xing didn't care about its thoughts and slipped into the kitchen, immediately starting to rummage through drawers and cabinets.

Below the stove are storage cabinets, where food is usually stored.

Thump.

Yu Xing found a wooden wicker basket in the storage cabinet. It was quite heavy when he dragged it, and there was liquid resistance inside. He curiously pulled it out to look at it, and after a while, he realized... it looked like a basket of brains.

The brain matter was yellowish-white in color, very viscous, and wouldn't leak out from the small gaps in the basket. It also didn't seem human, because there were traces of black veins in the brain matter.

The strange taste was both fishy and cloyingly sweet; in any case, if it were Yu Xing to decide, he would absolutely not eat it... Did they really eat this kind of stuff for every meal they had in the Underground City?

With a complicated feeling, he put the basket aside and looked at another cabinet.

In contrast, this cabinet was much more normal, with piles of things that felt like potatoes inside, and one of them would roll out as the cabinet door was opened.

The hungry ghost was very hungry. It reached out its tiny hand and patted Yu Xing on the back, then tugged at his hood.

However, Yu Xing ignored him and instead opened each cabinet to take a look.

Everything here was created by the Ghost Tree. As a plant that grows from resentment, it has spent far more time dealing with all kinds of ghosts and monsters than normal humans, so the food it prepared is nothing like what humans could eat.

Yu Xing picked and chose, rolling his eyes rather unceremoniously; even the hungry ghost beside him could sense his disdain for the ingredients.

The hungry ghost was so jealous it was about to cry.

The more I look at it, the more I realize that humans don't cherish food at all; they want to eat everything!

As long as it can eat it, it will pull out and eat even grass without hesitation!

Thinking this, its pulling on Yu Xing became increasingly violent, revealing obvious impatience.

"Alright, alright, here's your food. Don't move." Yu Xing was annoyed by being pulled around. Just then, several ghosts who had "visited" the kitchen gathered around, as if they wanted to watch Yu Xing cook.

Yu Xing gave the starving ghosts waiting for their food a meaningful look, then walked up to the basket of brains.

He lowered his head, stared at the brain matter for a moment with an inscrutable dark expression, and then beckoned the hungry ghost over.

A hungry ghost's throat is only the size of a pinhead; it can't even drink water, let alone liquid food.

However, Yu Xing had no intention of going back on her word. She had gained a few playmates today, and she could continue playing with them tomorrow. She couldn't just lose them after just one day.

He reached out...

In that instant, an extremely ferocious curse emerged from Yu Xing's fingertips, surged into the hungry ghost's body, and wreaked havoc.

Before the hungry ghost could react, its body was torn in two, separated from its chest. Its large head and shoulders, due to their weight, fell to the ground with a thud.

"..."

The onlookers, some with eyes, stared wide-eyed, while others with legs took a few steps back, seemingly surprised that this human had not only attacked without warning but had also instantly killed one of their strongest demons.

Aren't humans incapable of killing ghosts?

The next second, they realized something was wrong.

The hungry ghost, split in two, did not lose its senses. After a brief moment of shock, the black and white eyes on its large head revealed a deep resentment, and its huge mouth opened, letting out a unwilling howl.

Yu Xing: "Why are you crying? Don't you know what's wrong with your throat?"

He looked at the lower half of the hungry ghost, which was still standing upright on the ground. The body, separated by the power of the curse, maintained a strange balance, with its empty abdominal cavity exposed to the air.

Hunger just means being hungry, right?

Yu Xing used all his strength to lift the basket containing the brains and poured the liquid into the hungry ghost's stomach.

The hungry ghost's belly is swollen, and it can actually hold far more food than it appears, because it is formed from the accumulated obsessions of many people who died from famine and hunger.

The viscous liquid was continuously swallowed by the hungry ghost's abdomen. The hungry ghost seemed to be stunned by this change. Although it was split in two, its senses were still connected. A long-lost... or even never-before-seen feeling of being gradually filled rushed into its brain.

The room was too dark. If it were brighter, you could see that at the broken end of the hungry ghost's body, there were countless cursed lines thinner than a hair connecting them. The two halves of the body were not actually broken, because the same source power that created the hungry ghost replaced a certain need for the ghost's survival, forcibly maintaining its state of existence.

I'm so hungry... I'm eating... I've got my food...

I really tasted it... the feeling of eating...

Yu Xing emptied the entire basket, but the hungry ghost's stomach was still not full. Turning his head, he saw the hungry ghost's large head lying on the ground, tears streaming down its face.

The emotion expressed was truly beyond words.
