Fang Yuan's eye twitched at the boys remark.
"…Why is your perception so sharp at the most useless times?" he muttered under his breath.
"Eat it," he paused for half a second before adding bluntly, "Even if I regret it later, I'll just say it's already gone and there was nothing I could do to retrieve it."
Before Bai Changlu could respond, Fang Yuan moved.
He grabbed Bai Changlu's chin, shoved the shard straight into his mouth and then clamped him hand over it.
"No more talking now. Start chewing."
"Mmmph—?!"
"Chew."
Under Fang Yuan's firm grip, the boy had no choice.
Crunch.
This time, the moment the shard broke apart, something changed.
A faint ripple spread through the air around the boy, subtle but unmistakable.
His body stiffened slightly, eyes widening as a strange warmth began to bloom within him.
Fang Yuan's pupils shrank and then lit up.
Finally!
I knew it! There's no way the system would give me trash!
