The protagonist of the dinner is pork and chicken, specifically low-grade spirit beasts: the gray Ten-Winged Chicken and the Tofu Pig, with levels around 2 or 3, costing Lin Guang over three thousand Daxia Coins in total.
Both are "budget-friendly" edible spirit beasts, with the Ten-Winged Chicken's wings being removable and regenerable infinitely, and the Tofu Pig's meat being as smooth as tofu, allowing the belly part to be endlessly sliced without harming the main body, provided it's fed soybeans to grow and replenish flesh.
It's a spirit beast from a world similar to what Lin Guang has seen in "□tori no Shokugeki," practically born to be eaten.
If it weren't for W completely draining the Ether from her body and leveling up once, plus Lin Guang himself being too exhausted to keep going, he wouldn't have been so extravagant.
This unheard-of exotic cuisine nearly triggered W's rampage cooking mode; if Lin Guang hadn't forced her to try using chopsticks, she would have devoured ninety percent of that meal.
After dinner, W went into the bathroom to shower (the first thing Lin Guang does when he gets home is rush for a shower), and after cleaning up the kitchen waste, Lin Guang picked up his phone—it had just rung.
The vibration was from a text message from the class teacher, Ouyang Wei, not a word about spirit beasts, just a simple inquiry about how his past two days have been, and suggesting that with such good weather, he should go outside for some exercise instead of staying home reading all day.
After reading the message, Lin Guang's lips curled slightly, and then he went to his room and pulled a form printed with a table from a stack of books.
It was the "Spirit Beast Information Collection Form" issued by Ouyang Wei as early as last semester.
Though called an information collection form, it was quite simple, with only a few lines to fill in, and after signing at the bottom, it indicated a willingness to legally ensure the authenticity of the contents.
"What are you writing?"
Just after finishing the form, Lin Guang heard the voice of a girl from behind, accompanied by the crisp sound of wet footsteps on the tiles.
"Your information form, and didn't I tell you to wear slippers at home?"
"Troublesome." She pouted, changing the subject, "What's the deal with my information?"
"Basic information, age, name, species, attributes, and potential... By the way, how old are you?"
The girl clicked her tongue, tilted her head, and furrowed her brows as if pondering some difficult math problem.
Finally, she scratched the side of her demon-like black and red horns irritably and waved her hand: "Eighteen? No, it should be nineteen? I can't quite remember, those things aren't important to the Sakaz."
"Nineteen?"
Seeing Lin Guang's skeptical look, the girl shrugged, "Who knows, my body underwent many changes after crossing over, becoming younger was just one of them."
"Alright then."
Lin Guang didn't care much, but he did recall the original fate trajectory of the girl in "Future Ark," where she would encounter a monarch who would change her life forever at around twenty-something.
Overall, it would be considered a good thing.
After all, the Monarch would be assassinated later on, driving the girl's spirit, already pressured by war, into complete madness, dedicating a long period of time to revenge and slaughter above her own life and everything else. From the current mental state of the girl, she evidently hadn't met that Monarch yet.
After noting down the age and sending it to the class teacher with his phone, Lin Guang turned around, quirking an eyebrow slightly.
The girl wasn't wearing clothes, only wrapped in Lin Guang's towel, the flesh on her chest squeezed into a pleasing shape, water droplets sliding from somewhere down her fair long legs, as she took a set of clothes from Lin Guang's wardrobe, holding it up against her body for size comparison.
This suddenly reminded Lin Guang, he had forgotten to buy clothes for her again.
After leaving the training ground, buying groceries and cooking had already exhausted his limited spirit, making him forget about it once again.
"Hmm?"
Noticing Lin Guang's gaze, the girl turned her head, seemingly misunderstanding his look, the corner of her mouth curved into a smile, pairing with her current attire and demonic appearance, exuding an indescribable allure, like a blood-soaked rose blooming on the battlefield, dangerous, yet irresistibly drawing you closer.
She crossed her arms over her chest, her well-endowed bosom almost spilling out from the towel, shaking her slender red-black tail, standing barefoot on the floor, her bright red toenails adding a sense of charm.
She leaned over to Lin Guang's ear, whispering in a blowing-like manner, "Want me to teach you something?"
Lin Guang: "?"
The girl stepped forward, sitting directly on Lin Guang, pressing her hands against the backrest of his chair, looking down at him.
"I don't have a habit of owing favors. You saved me from the human traffickers and treated me to such a delicious meal. If you want, I can repay you with my body, besides, your face does match my taste."
Lin Guang sighed, "That's not good."
"What's wrong with that, are you saying I'm dirty?"
As if she got an answer from Lin Guang's question, she laughed, bringing her face closer to his, scrutinizing him with an invasive gaze, her warm breath landing on his face, "I'm still a first-timer, you know."
Noticing Lin Guang's slightly uneasy gaze, her smile grew even more pronounced.
"That whole 'mutual understanding, walking hand in hand' thing, it sounds so grand and beautiful, I don't believe it."
"Let me tear away your fake mask."
But the boy's next sentence nearly shattered her composure.
"...But I'm only sixteen, and it's illegal to act on a minor."
Lin Guang hesitated, looking into W's eyes, and said, "Back when I used to walk alone on my way, I'd often get surrounded by senior girls from other schools asking all sorts of questions. Once, after school, a thirty-year-old beautiful lady suddenly approached me, saying she wanted to show me some rare spirit beast."
"Honestly, I almost went along, but then a teacher from school saw and quickly pulled me aside, telling me that boys should protect themselves and not agree to people's unreasonable demands lightly."
"So since then, I've been more aware of self-respect and self-protection."
"?"
The girl's deliberately seductive expression faltered, "Are you teasing me? You don't seem like someone gullible enough to be deceived."
"You don't know what I used to be like, it's normal not to believe... But what I said is true, I still remember it vividly."
Lin Guang exhaled softly, as if relieved by the memory of his luck at that time.
The current him already awakened memories of his past life, surely wouldn't be so naive now. But back then, he almost fell for it, just thinking about it is terrifying.
