103: Chapter 103 We can be villains, but not perverts!

The young girl appearing before Jiang You was none other than the Tier 5 Great Demon of this S-Rank Forbidden Zone, Bai Lan.

At this moment, Bai Lan had messy hair, and her face still bore red marks from sleeping.

She squinted, and before she could even see who it was, she started complaining:

"Seriously, why do delivery men these days have absolutely no manners..."

"I already said I was hibernating... oh no, I was taking a nap..."

However, when she fully opened her eyes and saw the man standing outside the fence, gnawing on a radish, her voice came to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, looking at the "pajama girl" who had walked out of the house, as well as the pair of fluffy little ears on her head, the half-eaten radish in Jiang You's mouth nearly fell to the ground.

The two of them stared at each other across the fence, wide-eyed.

The air seemed to freeze.

This was a fated duel that transcended race, faction, and even the dimension of intelligence.

Jiang You looked Bai Lan up and down.

Pink pajamas, bunny slippers, a large plush pillow... and that face that looked so silly and cute.

Most importantly, her completely unguarded, laid-back aura was exactly the same as Jiang You's!

Jiang You was startled, his eyes becoming puzzled:

"Who... who is this?"

"Did I leave the dungeon?"

"This isn't one of those female demons from Class F, right? She doesn't look like a student here for special training either."

"Did I accidentally walk across the border and end up at some anime-themed convention?"

Opposite him, Bai Lan was also sizing up Jiang You.

spongebob pajamas, an ill-fitting school uniform, flip-flops... and in his hand, he was holding the radish she had worked so hard to grow.

Bai Lan tilted her head, the fox ears on top of her head twitching, her eyes filled with clear confusion:

"Eh?"

"Who are you?"

"Are you the new delivery uncle?"

Bai Lan pointed at the spongebob on Jiang You's outfit and asked earnestly:

"Did your delivery company... change uniforms?"

"Why are you dressed so... so childishly?"

Jiang You: "..."

Uncle?

Childish?

Jiang You felt like he had taken two arrows to the knees.

He swallowed the radish in his mouth and corrected her with a serious expression:

"First of all, I am not an uncle; I am only eighteen, in the prime of my youth."

"Secondly, this isn't childish; this is playful, it's fashion."

"Finally..."

Jiang You held up the half-eaten radish and asked righteously:

"This young lady, I would like to ask you something as well."

"This is the Mist Swamp, right? It's an S-Rank Forbidden Zone, right? It's a place crawling with demon beasts, right?"

"You live here alone in your pajamas, and you've planted a whole field of radishes..."

"Aren't you afraid of being snatched and eaten by demon beasts?"

Bai Lan blinked her large eyes, seemingly pondering Jiang You's question.

A moment later, she nodded as if she had just realized something, and answered earnestly:

"Not afraid."

"As long as I don't go out, no demon beasts dare to come in."

"And..."

Bai Lan pointed at the radish in Jiang You's hand and said aggrievedly:

"I don't know if demon beasts will eat me or not."

"But you... you are eating my radish."

"That's my dinner..."

Jiang You looked down at the radish in his hand, then at Bai Lan's expression, which was on the verge of tears.

Not only did he feel no guilt, but he became even more righteous:

"That's where you're wrong."

"Aren't radishes grown to be eaten?"

"Besides, I'm helping you test for poison! What if this radish mutated? What if it's poisonous?"

"See, I ate it and I'm fine, which means it's safe, so you can eat it without worry."

Bai Lan was dizzy from this twisted logic.

She scratched her head, feeling like it made some sense, but also feeling like something was wrong.

"But... but that was mine..."

Just as the two were having this completely nutritional-less conversation, the organs inside Jiang You's body had already keenly sensed something amiss.

[Internal Chat Group]

[Kidneys (alarm bells ringing)]:

"Something's wrong! Very wrong!"

"This woman... even though she looks silly."

"But on her... there's a pleasant scent!"

"It's not perfume! It's that kind of... that extremely pure, extremely high-level life energy!"

"It's just like... just like the smell of that vial of Titan Giant Ape blood essence! Even purer!"

[Brain (analyzing rapidly)]:

"Appearance: Harmless to humans and animals, even a bit stupid."

"Environment: Core of the S-Rank Forbidden Zone, yet she lives in a house and farms the land."

"Logic: This is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Hypothesis: Could this be... some kind of high-level creature in human form? Or the granddaughter of some hidden master?"

"Whatever it is, there is only one conclusion—she is rich! She's very lucrative!"

[stomach (rumbling)]:

"Stop analyzing! I'm hungry!"

"Since she tastes better than that Tier 5 Titan Giant Ape blood essence, why don't we..."

[Brain (hurriedly stopping)]:

"Wait, wait!"

"We can be villains, but we cannot be perverts!"

In reality, Jiang You didn't realize the danger; he only felt that since everyone was wearing pajamas, they were kindred spirits.

"Alright, alright, stop obsessing over the radish."

Jiang You waved his hand and familiarly pushed the iron fence gate:

"Uh... little sister."

"Meeting is fate."

"Look, I helped you test for poison, so that makes me half a benefactor."

"I'm lost now, and I'm thirsty and hungry."

"Could you let me in to sit for a while? Also... if you have food at home, I wouldn't mind bumming a meal."

Bai Lan looked at this "weirdo" whose face was thicker than a city wall, and hesitated for a moment.

Originally, she had wanted to refuse.

After all, Grandpa Principal had said, don't open the door for strangers; the outside world is very dangerous, and there are many bad people.

But... she looked at Jiang You's face, which, while a bit punchable, was filled with "sincerity" and "hunger."

Plus, on this person, there didn't seem to be that "killing intent" she hated.

Instead, there was an aura of a kindred spirit?

"Hmm..."

Bai Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly:

"But... there's only white porridge and pickles at home."

"Oh right, I also have lots of potato chips, I have every flavor!"

"If you don't mind..."

Jiang You's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand grandly:

"I don't mind! I definitely don't mind!"

"White porridge is good for the stomach! Pickles go great with rice! This is what life is all about!"

"Open the door quickly! I'm about to starve to death!"

Seeing Jiang You's eager look, Bai Lan softened.

She pulled the gate open, made a "please" gesture, and a pure smile appeared on her face:

"Then... then you can come in."

"But after eating, you have to chat with me, okay? I haven't talked to anyone in a long time."

"No problem! I'm the best at chatting!"

Jiang You stuffed the rest of the radish into his mouth and strode into the yard as if he had returned to his own home.

Just like that.

A lazybones who had just finished dealing with an unspeakable secret, and a silly, sweet, Tier 5 Great Demon who only thought about eating potato chips and sleeping in every day.

At this moment, because of a bowl of white porridge, they reached a bizarre "meal buddy" relationship.
