"Your radish is too expensive. Sell it at a lower price."
"Make way. Everyone make way."
"Oh no, I'm going to be late."
"That's why I'm telling you, Xian Xu is really a terrible person."
The streets of the city were bustling with people, forming a multitude of people. A man was slowly pushing a wheelchair along the streets.
"Pa! Pa!"
Sheji's two hands were slapping the wheelchair restlessly. Her movements were very small. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that she was slapping.
Pu Piaole noticed all these small actions. He chuckled and wrinkled his nose. Sheji looked like she was very curious about the human world.
The passersby were also very curious about the duo. It was too pitiful for such a young girl to lose her legs.
"There, there …"
Sheji pointed to a restaurant not far away. It was a common roadside restaurant. There was nothing strange about it. They could be found everywhere.
However, at noon and night, these restaurants and restaurants would reveal their ugly side. A seductive smell came from the air vents.
A glutton like Sheji must have smelled the fragrance of the food.
"Shh, didn't I say that you can't speak?" Hearing Sheji's clumsy English, Pu Piaole was so frightened that his soul nearly flew out.
Sheji's transformation was not complete. Her tongue was still in the form of a snake's tongue. Pu Piaole could even see a few scales under the hair covering the back of her neck.
If she spoke in a hurry, her tongue would come out. Was she filming a horror movie on the streets?
"Wu Wu Wu Wu!"
Sheji covered her mouth with both hands and nodded seriously.
However, her two pinky fingers pointed at the restaurant at the same time, like two tiny antennas.
"Zi Zi."
Sheji transmitted an electric wave.
"Hey, I understand. I understand." Pu Piaole resigned to his fate as he pushed the wheelchair towards the restaurant.
He had a lot of money now. There was a small piece of gold in his inner pocket. He could exchange it for some money in times of emergency. Besides, with Sheji around, there was no need to worry about money. He could easily fish for money in the sea.
Pu Piaole, who was pushing the wheelchair, was very eye-catching. It was not because of his wretched temperament, but because Sheji's appearance formed a sharp contrast with Pu Piaole's.
Especially when he pushed Sheji into the restaurant, the receptionist's gaze turned strange.
The combination of the two was too strange. The legless girl was heart-wrenching, and Pu Piaole was so wretched that it made people panic.
"What would you like to eat?" The receptionist girl coughed and asked.
The little girl was not small at all. Her upper and lower body were in the shape of a bucket, and her face was very oily.
She weighed at least two hundred, if not two hundred. With one look, one could tell that she was the daughter of a restaurant owner.
"Wu wu wu."
The legless girl was a mute!
It was even more heart-wrenching!
"Can I eat in a private room?"
Pu Piaole took the menu and pointed at a single room in the restaurant. There was an empty room on the first floor of the restaurant.
"Sure, please come in."
"Thank you … Give me one … two servings of corn ribs …"
In consideration of Sheji's appetite, Pu Piaole ordered enough for four people. However, Pu Piaole had no idea if this was enough to fill Sheji's stomach.
After all the dishes were served, Sheji gently patted Pu Piaole's shoulder.
"Ahhhh."
"It's okay. You can talk now." There were no cameras in the single room, nor were there any glass windows that allowed one to see inside.
As long as he did not suddenly transform into his gigantic sea dragon body, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
"She, the woman just now gave me a piece of paper when she was serving the dishes …"
Sheji could now use the word 'human' instead of using the suspicious term 'two-legged frog'.
"Paper?"
Pu Piaole curiously took the item that Sheji mentioned. It was a narrow piece of paper. It was obviously torn from a book.
There was a line of scribbled words written in proverbs. Sheji could not understand it, but Pu Piaole felt his stomach churn just by looking at it.
[If you are being held hostage, clap your hands twice when you are paying the bill. I will call the police to save you!]
"What is written on it?"
"I wish us a happy life." Pu Piaole kept the piece of paper and broke his chopsticks. "Hurry up and eat."
Did he look like someone who did bad things?!
Pu Piaole felt that he looked quite decent!
Sheji did not understand the twists and turns. When she heard that they were about to start, she immediately opened her mouth and started eating.
Both hands!
Be it ribs, stir-fried vegetables, or stewed fish, all of them were grabbed by both hands.
She stuffed them into her mouth and swallowed them without chewing. She did not even spit out the bones. Furthermore, scales faintly appeared on her exquisite face as she ate to her heart's content.
"Chopsticks … Hey, eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you." Even if Sheji was given chopsticks, she would not use them.
Before she finished her sentence, Sheji suddenly changed her eating style to a bold and unrestrained one.
It was not only her two hands. Her head full of black hair suddenly extended and entangled into the shape of a long snake.
More than ten snake-like hair came down and mechanically stuffed food into her mouth. In addition, she did not need to chew, so her efficiency was terrifying.
"Medusa, this is …"
Pu Piaole could not compete with Sheji. He did not know where to start with the pair of chopsticks. Finally, he found an opportunity to pull a plate of meat from the table and place it in front of him. This way, he could ensure that he could still eat something.
Once there was a fight, even ordinary food could become delicious, not to mention that the restaurant's culinary skills were not bad.
However, Pu Piaole had only finished half of the meat on his plate when Sheji's frenzied eating stopped.
It was not that Sheji was full, but the table had been swept clean. Other than the empty plate, there was nothing left. The table was filled with inelegant table manners and greasy condiments.
Sheji was still staring at the beef in front of Pu Piaole with her big eyes.
"Is it delicious?"
Sheji seemed to have learned the craftiness of humans. She did not say that she also wanted to eat it. Instead, she asked about the taste in a roundabout manner.
"A Xi, go ahead and eat."
After pushing the beef over, Pu Piaole looked at the mess on the table. Sheji was clearly not full, but neither was he.
Sheji's black hair had turned oily, as though she had fallen into a puddle of oil. Pu Piaole picked up a tissue from the table and grabbed Sheji's hair to gently wipe it.
Now, he realized how difficult it had been for his mother to take care of him back then.
Only after she finished swallowing the plate of beef did Sheji curiously look at Pu Piaole's actions.
"Your hair is all oily. You have to clean it."
"Oh."
After understanding Pu Piaole's meaning, Sheji's black hair was suddenly wrapped in a ball of water.
The ball of water was not big, and it quickly slid down from the top of her head to the ends of her hair, sweeping away all the greasy dirt on her hair.
The problem of cleaning long hair that troubled women was easily solved.
"Spells sure are convenient."
"Hungry. I'm not full yet." Sheji touched her belly and stared at Pu Piaole with her clear eyes.
"…" Shaking his head, Pu Piaole touched the little gold nugget in his pocket. "You can't eat at this restaurant anymore. I'll take you to the next one."
When they were about to pay the bill, the lady at the front desk looked at Sheji encouragingly.
