Bab 87: Fungal Greed's Torment

Once we entered the inn, I ordered several courses of food, for some reason I was famished beyond humanly possible, and I ate and ate, tearing through meat, fish and whatever was presented to me.

The group with me looked at me as if I was a monster, but I didn't care, I bit through pork thighs with gravy dripping down my mouth as I gulped wine like water, and continued eating.

"Brother Shen Bao, you should chew, otherwise you'll have stomach troubles," Xiao Lang said grinning.

After chewing a couple of times, not thanks to his advice but in preparation for a retort I said, "I'm so hungry I think that I'll be wasting time chewing. Want a bite?" I said as I handed Xiao Lang the pig's thigh, but he shook his head and raised both his hands, "I'm sorry, still no stomach to eat. Especially after that display earlier."

I shrugged, "More for me then," and I continued eating.

"A satiety pill should help you calm your hunger wouldn't it?" Wu Di asked.
