Absolute Choice

Chapter 498: This isn't an illness, but fate!

Translator: CKtalon Editor:

Having met Bunny Cao again on Beijing Third Ring Road was equivalent to capturing a live big-boobed loli. Xiao Xiao was extremely careful this time as she held on to Bunny Cao, afraid that she would suddenly disappear again.

Xiao Xiao spent lots of effort before finally convincing Bunny Cao, who had insisted on going alone. She tried coaxing her with all kinds of deceit before the girl who had an extremely bad sense of direction boarded the car reluctantly.

The car turned around and headed for the Caesar Grand Hotel branch that was closest to Dragon Summer Stadium.

Xiao Xiao and Bunny Cao sat in the back together. As they were not familiar with each other, there was a tiny distance separating them in the middle.

After Bunny Cao got into the car, she began silently stuffing meat buns into her mouth. Perhaps she was somewhat unhappy that her 'tour of getting lost as she wished' had been interrupted forcefully. The speed at which she ate the buns was much faster than before. She would finish one big bun in less than thirty seconds.

After finishing one, Bunny Cao would immediately use spatial magic without taking a break and 'steal' a new piping hot bun.

Although Xiao Xiao was not familiar with magic, she had some general knowledge. Such 'spatial transference' of an object from a great distance away into one's hand was considered an abstruse form of magic. It was a high-grade magical spell that drained a lot of mana.

Xiao Xiao was suspecting that the reason why Bunny Cao was able to continuously cast magical spells for more than ten minutes without showing any signs of fatigue at the finals was that she had repeatedly used such high-grade spatial magic on a daily basis.

Every thirty seconds, Bunny Cao would finish eating a huge bun and another would follow. There was no sign of her stopping or resting. Soon, she had eaten nearly ten.

Xiao Xiao stared at her in a dumbfounded manner as she could not help but suspect that Bunny Cao was a humanoid monster. If not, how could a human's stomach store so many meat buns?

Xiao Xiao felt her scalp tingle as she finally could not help but ask, "Are…meat buns that delicious?"

Bunny Cao turned her head over. First, her eyes lit up as she nodded, but moments later, she frowned and shook her head.

After she swallowed the food in her mouth, Bunny Cao mumbled, "Meat buns are very fragrant but eating too many of them makes them taste bad. However…meat buns are best for filling the stomach!"

No matter how delicious a delicacy was, the repeated eating of it would make one sick of it. That was an easily understandable point.

But what did she mean by meat buns being the best for filling the stomach?

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment before considering how she should mince her words. She said, "Bunny, could it be that you eat so many meat buns…just to fill your stomach?"

Bunny chewed on her food as she nodded her head as if it was for granted.

Xiao Xiao said with a stiff smile, "You aren't full even after eating so many meat buns?"

Bunny nodded and mumbled, "I can't be satiated. My stomach just keeps feeling hungry."

A dark cloud hung over Xiao Xiao's head as she thought to herself.

You are indeed a humanoid monster!

"Have you always been eating so much food?"

Xiao Xiao ventured a guess once again. There was no way around it. She was too curious about the matter. An ordinary person would be considered a competitive eater if one did not die from a ruptured stomach after eating so many meat buns. Yet, Bunny Cao was still hungry. There was clearly a problem!

Bunny said with a shake of the head, "It wasn't like this in the past. Slightly more than ten days ago, I suddenly felt very, very hungry. I wasn't filled no matter how much I ate…Then it became what it is now…Meat buns are just snacks. It curbs some of the hunger but I have to eat dozens of kilograms of meat to be satiated. Daddy says that I'm almost draining the family of all its money with my appetite!"

Bunny had said it in a simple manner but it made Xiao Xiao's scalp tingle.

So many meat buns were just a snack? She had to eat dozens of kilograms of meat just to be satiated?

It suddenly happened more than ten days ago?

Was it an illness?

Furthermore, it was quite serious!

"Can this illness be cured?"

Xiao Xiao blurted out her thoughts before she hurriedly covered her mouth. She realized that she had been too rash. Even though Bunny did not seem like a person who would mind, how could she say such 'impolite' words?

"It's not an illness."

What caught Xiao Xiao by surprise was that Bunny suddenly swallowed the food in her mouth before her expression turned slightly serious. She said solemnly, "Daddy said it's not an illness but fate!"

Xiao Xiao was alarmed. She felt the topic seem to turn a little too heavy. "It's not an illness but fate." Such a saying usually brings with it an undisclosable secret.

Was it appropriate for her to probe into Bunny Cao's secret?

Xiao Xiao immediately did not wish to continue asking.

However, Bunny's expression suddenly changed as she pouted and said unhappily, "I think it's an illness. If not, why would I suddenly be constantly hungry for no good reason? But even Granny Divine Healer can't cure it so Daddy has given up. He said that an incurable illness is a kind of fate and that I should submit to fate…"

Xiao Xiao gaped and was momentarily at a loss as to what to say.

An incurable illness was fate. Wasn't she being too broad-minded?

To think that she had accidentally heard a humongous secret. So she had really come down ill. However, the illness was strange. It actually forced Bunny Cao to eat dozens of kilograms of meat a day to be barely satiated? After all this, where did the food she eat go to? It couldn't really enter her stomach, right?

Xiao Xiao's mind was filled with questions but she eventually did not ask. Although Bunny Cao was free from care or worries and she did not mind talking about anything, she couldn't thicken her skin to dig up her secrets, right?

With Xiao Xiao falling silent, Bunny's attention returned to the meat buns. She was eating them in delight, as though there was no hint of her being 'sick' of them.

Indeed, Bunny could not extricate herself from the immersion of meat buns. If not, how could an ordinary person choose meat buns as a snack!?

Xiao Xiao shook her head as she smiled inwardly. She turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

There was silence along the way. Xiao Xiao was quiet while Bunny focused on eating her meat buns.

After a long while, Xiao Xiao felt restless and habitually took out her cell phone to refresh the forum, "Shi Xiaobai Bar".

"Ah!"

Xiao Xiao nearly cried out loudly when she took a glance at it!

「 Ah, ah, ah! Shi Xiaobai has finally reached the eighth level!」

「 The fourth trial-taker in history to reach the eighth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is born! Shi Xiaobai does not let down the masses! 」

「 The trial's stone monument has been updated. Shi Xiaobai's name is positioned at the eighth level. Picture as proof! 」

「 The peak of China's end-game style. Can Shi Xiaobai be able to prove to the world that 'end-game' styles still work? Stay tuned for this year's World Tournament! 」

「 Champagne tonight for a celebration! 」

「 Getting a room tonight for a celebration! 」

「 Getting KFC tonight for a celebration! 」

「 Although it's 'Shi Xiaobai Bar'…please don't celebrate. Boohoohoo. My most beloved Speechless Li is dead! 」

…

What could be seen were all threads of Shi Xiaobai's reaching of the eighth level but intermixed within, there were a few threads about the grievous news of Speechless Li's death. Xiao Xiao began browsing through the threads without stopping as she felt mixed emotions.

She did not know Speechless Li, so would not go as far as to feel sad for the tragic news of Speechless Li's death. However, for China to lose a young genius and an opponent she could aim for as a goal, she still felt somewhat repressed being a girl with proper values.

But at the same time, the news of Shi Xiaobai reaching the eighth level made her extremely excited. She could not help but clench her fist!

Little Pervert, well done!

Xiao Xiao roared in her heart.

She felt her mind shaking and could not help but continuously refresh the forum so as to see the constantly updating threads.

Suddenly, a thread with reply counts constantly surging attracted Xiao Xiao's attention.

「 Prediction Thread—Shi Xiaobai won't spend more than an hour in the eighth level! 」
