Bab 20: Chapter 20: You Eat Human?

"Did anyone from this household see you?" Bai Xifeng asked again.

"No. The secret entrance that Young Miss found really helps a lot." Xiao Li said happily.

"Good. We can utilize the secret entrance until someone from this household finds out about that." Bai Xifeng said while grinning.

"Yes, Young Miss." Xiao Li nodded.

"So, for now, go to the kitchen and get some food. I'm hungry." Bai Xifeng rubbed her stomach.

"Okay, Young Miss. But let me store these herbs first." Xiao Li took the box wanting to store it in the room.

"No need for that. I will store it myself. You can go get food." Bai Xifeng said.

"Really?" Xiao Li was confused.

"Yeah." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Actually, Bai Xifeng did not want to store the herbs in the room but she wanted to ask Baishe to hold the herbs. It would be safer than the room. What if those bitches came to her courtyard? They might rob the herbs. They were for her treatment. She could not let the herbs fall into those bitches' hands.

"But Young Miss, what if the kitchen does not want to give us any food?" Xiao Li made a sad face.

Xiao Li was sad because even though her young miss was a legitimate daughter of the Great General Bai she has still been bullied in her own house.

"Don't worry. Just say that it is old hag's order." Bai Xifeng said.

Xiao Li wondered if that worked. But the last time she went to ask for the food, the kitchen staff gave her some decent food to them. She left already.

Bai Xifeng entered her room. Afraid someone would come, she touched her wrist. Her surroundings changed.

"Baishe, I got the herbs." Bai Xifeng said.

Baishe appeared in her Python form. Bai Xifeng opened the packages and showed the herbs to Baishe. Baishe nodded after confirming that it was indeed the correct herb.

"You can begin the treatment tonight," Baishe said.

"How long is the treatment?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Well, it depends on you. If you can master the method faster, the treatment will be shorter." Baishe explained.

"Okay. I am hungry. Are you feeling hungry?" Bai Xifeng asked. She was curious whether the python felt hungry or not.

"I had not been eating for a thousand years. What do you think about that?" Baishe narrowed her eyes.

"You must be feeling hungry. What do you eat?" Bai Xifeng wanted to treat Baishe.

"Human," Baishe said the word.

Bai Xifeng just stared at Baishe without blinking for a moment.

"You eat humans?" Bai Xifeng managed to ask back.

"What? Are you afraid of me?" Baishe smiled.

"Well, you already pledged your loyalty to me. You would not eat me." Bai Xifeng just grinned.
