The narration suddenly stopped just as Zhou Kai had gotten immersed in it.

He looked at Little Leopard Cat, who licked a drop of yogurt clinging onto her lips and said, “I’m done eating.”

Zhou Kai looked beside him in bewilderment.

He saw a potato chips packet, a biscuit wrapper, a chicken thigh wrapper, a sausage wrapper, a jelly container, an empty coke can, an empty bottle of yogurt, and an empty bag of oranges…

F*ck, these things cost me more than 100 dollars and could have lasted me two days. How the hell did you finish them all in such a short time?

Are you a pig?

“Big Brother, let’s eat a buffet. The House Steak Hotpot Buffet includes steak and lots and lots of delicious food. Children eat for free,” Little Leopard Cat suddenly said.

Zhou Kai was shocked. “How do you know that?”

“Look!” Little Leopard Cat lifted her chubby hand, which was holding a flyer.

The House Steak Hotpot Buffet is opening on the 18th. Present this flyer to get 60% off. Children below 120 centimeters can dine in for free. All promotions are valid only on that day.

Holy sh*t, where did this come from?

Zhou Kai was confused.

“Let’s eat there, Big Brother. I want to eat beef. You don’t need to spend any money.” Little Leopard Cat looked at Zhou Kai, blinking her wide eyes in anticipation.

Zhou Kai looked at the clock. It was almost 11 a.m. so it was already lunchtime.

Oh well, in any case, I’ve obtained quite a bit of information today. We can eat our fill and I can continue to pester her later.

“Okay, let’s eat at the buffet. However, let me say this first: It is okay for you to eat, but don’t go overboard. Our goal is to eat, not to create trouble.” Zhou Kai warned Little Leopard Cat.

This girl was a big eater. Zhou Kai was afraid that the food the buffet prepared would not fill her up.

Little Leopard Cat rolled her eyes. “I’m not a pig. It is just that the energy I receive from eating this rubbish food is too little and cannot match my refining speed. If the food quality is good, around three to five whole chickens would suffice. Only you would be so stingy as to request so much from me for a full meal.”

Zhou Kai was speechless.

Three to five whole chickens are considered a small meal? You are just a kid! Does that mean that you will have to eat a whole cow every day once you grow up?

Despite his silent complaints, Zhou Kai left the courtyard with Little Leopard Cat and headed directly to the House Steak Hotpot Buffet.

It was in a new mall that was bustling with crowds of people. Banners also filled the area.

Zhou Kai pulled Little Leopard Cat along as they headed to the third floor of the mall, where they saw the restaurant. The entrance was very eye-catching, as a large group of servers outside was trying to pull more customers into the restaurant.

When Zhou Kai headed over to inquire, there were fortunately some empty seats left. They quickly entered the restaurant by following the staff’s instructions.

Little Leopard Cat was 116 centimeters tall, a few centimeters away from hitting 120 centimeters. Thus, her height put her in the free-entry category.

Zhou Kai bought a black pepper steak at 60% off. They occupied the place and started to consume food in a frenzy.

Little Leopard Cat was naturally a tank.

She finally could eat a huge meal after having to constantly beg Zhou Kai for one. Hence, she threw all reservations aside while eating. She swallowed the chicken chunks whole along with the bones. Even the braised pork with preserved vegetables, the chicken nuggets, the egg tarts, the pizza, and the steak Zhou Kai ordered were all swallowed by Little Leopard Cat after she chewed a few times.

No one took notice, as many people were walking around in the restaurant. Little Leopard Cat’s antics alarmed Zhou Kai, however. It was only after he threatened Little Leopard Cat a little that her actions became slightly more reserved.

“Huh?”

Zhou Kai was savoring each bite of the food slowly. This eating method was good for the intestines, and one could also eat more that way.

Little Leopard Cat suddenly exclaimed.

Zhou Kai looked over. “Yes?”

Little Leopard Cat answered, “Look at that huge fatty on our left, Big Brother.”

Zhou Kai twisted his neck, looked over, and saw a person sitting alone at a table.

It was a fatty around 160 centimeters tall. His flesh was bulging, causing his clothes to balloon out. In addition, his head was like a watermelon and his chin looked like a stairway. The flesh on his face almost completely obscured his eyes.

On the whole, this fatty weighed at least 300 kilos!

Zhou Kai could not quite understand.

This fatty is indeed huge, but… what else is there about him? Fatter people have appeared on the news before, so this is nothing astonishing!

“Big Brother, a spirit is currently possessing him,” Little Leopard Cat informed him.

Zhou Kai was dumbfounded.

For real? A spirit possession can happen in broad daylight?

After carefully scrutinizing the fatty, Zhou Kai discovered something.

A chilly aura surrounded the fatty. One could sense it even from a few meters away.

F*ck, this is indeed a spirit possession!

“What is this possession about? Are there any requirements for it to occur?” Zhou Kai inquired curiously.

Little Leopard Cat answered, “A possession is a simple affair. Humans carry Yang Qi, while spirits are considered Yin. Yin and Yang exist together on opposite ends of the spectrum. In any case, if the Yin flourishes, the Yang weakens, and vice versa. Spirits will not approach people with strong Yang Qi, but they will gravitate toward people with weak Yang Qi. After being possessed by a spirit, a person will be in a terrible state. They will fall ill, or worse, even die. The spirit will actually have a terrible experience as well. It will feel as though it has been set on fire, and its soul will suffer severe injuries. It will not be reincarnated as a result.”

Zhou Kai’s expression turned grave.

This spirit possession seems like revenge!

However, why is this spirit taking revenge by coming here to eat and drink?

Is it being kind to this person by allowing him to have a hearty meal before dying?

The fatty’s eyes rolled to the back of his head before he sprawled on the table, spewing food that he had yet to swallow. His breathing was shallow.

Then, Zhou Kai saw a shadow standing up from the fatty’s body.

It was the shadow of an old man so skinny that it looked like he would topple if a gust of wind blew over.

As the shadow looked at the fatty sprawled below, the old man seemed to be very satisfied with his work. He stood aside and watched as the servers of the buffet frenziedly called the police and attempted to perform emergency aid on the fatty.

Zhou Kai looked on speechlessly.

This ghost took revenge by making the fatty die from eating too much? Heck, this revenge method is indeed unique!

However, after these few encounters and Little Leopard Cat’s explanations, Zhou Kai did not have a good impression of spirits.

The average person would be reincarnated after death and would not stay on in the mortal realm with evil intentions. Anybody who was willing to become a spirit would be influenced by evil intentions. Thus, they would lose their humanity and resort to unscrupulous means to achieve their objectives.

In other words, all spirits were evil.

Hence, Zhou Kai decided to take action.

His miraculous improvement relied on facing various kinds of anomalies. Demon spirits and evil anomalies were very few and hard to encounter, but spirits were different. Due to the large number of humans, the number of spirits was huge as well. Spirits were EXP and could help him get stronger.

Zhou Kai stood up and walked over.

The old spirit was still staring at the fatty, whose breathing was so shallow that it was about to disappear. The servers were unable to move his body and felt anxious as a result.

The old spirit was watching gleefully from the side as it muttered, “Die, you beast. Die, and I will make your wife and son follow you. Your whole family will accompany me in the grave.”
