The Black Bear Spirit was deeply hurt.
It was bad enough being mocked by Lady Di Yong, but then Sha Chen inflicted further damage.
He guzzled fine wine and gorged on exquisite dishes.
Sha Chen felt a pang seeing this and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly; no one is fighting with you."
The Black Bear Spirit said, "At last, Master shows concern for me."
Sha Chen said, "If you eat that much, what will there be for me to eat?"
The Black Bear Spirit was stabbed in the heart again and turned his sadness into appetite, eating with even greater joy.
Lady Di Yong also indulged in a wild binge, for she herself was a gluttonous white-furred rat spirit with a universe in her belly and a mouth that could swallow whole landscapes.
Usually, she loved Sha Chen, but she loved good food even more.
When she returned before, Sha Chen had been too penny-pinching to cook for her, so she had resorted to stealing food.
Now, faced with such a rare feast, naturally, she relished it to the fullest.
