Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 237 - 152: Such a Cute Little Fox, Can I Hug You? (2)
"Speaking of the cafeteria, the one at West State University is quite nice, but it's a pity that it's not open to the public..."
Bai Mo held his apprentice, Black Claw, sitting in the back row, occasionally responding to the driver, but mostly lost in his own thoughts.
The herbs needed to brew Ear-Enlightening Soup were relatively normal, nothing too strange. The warehouse on Fox Mountain was short of herbs, but the planting had been arranged. It wouldn't be long before he could start the preparation.
"Something feels off.
"Why carve a perfectly good recipe on the base of a gallows?"
Bai Mo was deep in thought while his apprentice Black Claw nestled quietly in his master's arms... This was its second time visiting the real world, the first time being two years ago, leaving only a distant memory. Now, everything it saw seemed new yet frightening, so it curled up tightly in its master's arms, poking its head out to look around.
The news broadcast played on the taxi's radio.
"...Recently, the Immortal Technique Committee uncovered a particularly heinous case involving the trafficking of immortal-related infants. We extend our thanks to all comrades involved..."
The taxi driver found a new topic.
"Oh, in today's society, it's truly chaotic, with all these immortal-related people causing trouble everywhere..."
...
Whoosh!
The taxi stopped at the entrance of West State University.
Bai Mo got out, placing Black Claw on his shoulder, letting it squat there as he walked towards the campus gate. He saw the admissions officer waiting in the security booth, who greeted him with a smile and handed over a large envelope.
"Good morning, Bai Mo.
"Your admission letter, dorm key, and meal card are all inside!
"Would you like to apply for financial aid..."
Bai Mo considered for a moment... There are limited spots for financial aid, so he decided against it.
"Better leave it for those who need it more."
The admissions officer grinned, giving a thumbs-up.
"Hahaha, you truly have both excellent character and academics, Bai Mo.
"Come, let me show you around the campus."
At this moment, West State University had not yet commenced vacation, but it was already examination week. Students were either holed up in their dorms or libraries, cramming hard for exams. The tree-lined paths on campus were sparsely populated. Occasionally, someone would rush by.
Bai Mo followed the admissions officer, touring several spots.
On his shoulder, Black Claw's foxy eyes darted around curiously.
It spotted a tall building with flowerbeds at the bottom... This it recognized! It heard Black Star and White Tail say that here, an ice ball had once toppled countless people!
Mid-tour, the admissions officer received a call, after a few acknowledgments, he apologized to Bai Mo and hurriedly left for unknown business, leaving Bai Mo to explore by himself.
Standing under the shade of the trees, Bai Mo looked at Black Claw on his shoulder.
"Hungry?"
He fished out a card from the envelope, its surface bearing the image of West State University's gate, emblem, and Bai Mo's personal information. It was the unlimited free meal card!
"Awoo?"
Black Claw's eyes sparkled with anticipation!
It had heard from its senior brothers about this card!
This time coming to the real world, it carried its brothers' charge... to try the food at West State University's cafeteria!
...
"What a big cafeteria."
Bai Mo and Black Claw walked through the spacious dining area and rows of seats to the meal counter.
Since lunchtime hadn't arrived yet, the cafeteria was quite empty.
But the chefs and various dishes at the window were already prepared.
As Bai Mo walked by, Black Claw peeked its head out, eyes wide open, eyeing the pastries as if they looked delicious?
The thousand-layer cake, golden and crispy?
The buns, plump and white, their skin soaked by the broth within.
Delicate shumai, filled with meat stuffing?
At the self-service area, Black Claw stared in awe!
The stir-fried spicy pork smelled heavenly! It didn't like chili, could it get some with just meat?
The large pieces of steamed fish in black bean sauce, could they be tasty? Should it help them with a taste test?
Bai Mo didn't rush to take anything, just kept walking until he reached the set meal area. There, he saw two freshly roasted racks of lamb, golden, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, looking very appetizing.
"Master, how much for these two racks of lamb?"
The chubby chef inside the window paused for a moment, sizing up the racks of lamb for quite a while.
"Uh... two racks, three hundred and fifty."
Bai Mo nodded, taking out the meal card.
"Swipe the card."
The atmosphere turned peculiar.
The chubby master was stunned for a moment, then began operating the card machine.
Bai Mo pulled out his card, feeling a bit worried... What if the card doesn't work? Wouldn't that be awkward?
Beep!
With a sound, Bai Mo successfully swiped the card and received a large plate of lamb chops from the chubby master.
The two lamb chops were weighty and felt heavy in his hand.
Bai Mo took them and turned to leave, smiling along with Black Claw on his shoulder!
It really worked!
The man and the fox found a place to sit and began to eat.
He had to admit, the lamb chops were really good. The outer skin was crispy, there were plenty of seasonings, and they were flavorful. Inside, they were tender with meat juice, carrying the fresh aroma of lamb.
Bai Mo easily gnawed two ribs.
Black Claw sat in his master's arms and even munched three ribs with delight.
"This one's for you."
Bai Mo tore off another rib and handed it to his apprentice.
Suddenly, he heard someone greeting him.
"Bai Mo, what brings you here?"
It was Fang Yuan and Zhang Jian, each carrying a plate of chicken leg rice, eagerly sitting down across from Bai Mo.
"Oh dear, today has been so unlucky.
"We checked the tips and found that the lamb chop rice at West State University's dining hall costs fifteen yuan per serving, it's tasty and affordable.
"We came early, but for some reason, the lamb chop rice was already sold out?"
Fang Yuan complained while showing her phone to Bai Mo.
On her screen, there was a photo of the lamb chop rice, with a rib, a side dish, a serving of rice, and a bowl of soup.
"The side dish and soup are still there, but the lamb chop is gone. I wonder which annoying person bought them all, it's so frustrating!"
Fang Yuan complained, suddenly noticing that Zhang Jian and Bai Mo weren't speaking.
She was puzzled, seeing Bai Mo and the Fox Immortal Beast guarding two large lamb chops. The Fox Immortal Beast had a rib in its paw, with cumin and sesame at the corner of its mouth, looking bewilderedly at them.
...
"The taste is indeed good, huh."
"The grilling is really skilled."
"Let's eat quickly and finish the lamb chops before the main dining group arrives, otherwise it will provoke resentment!"
Bai Mo broke the lamb chops apart and shared them with Fang Yuan and Zhang Jian.
"Squeak squeak!"
Black Claw understood his master's awkwardness! It slightly opened its belly and exerted sixty percent of its strength, quickly munching on the lamb chops. Before long, it had gnawed them down to clean, white bones!
Bai Mo finished another rib, feeling a bit stuffed, so he took some rice from Zhang Jian's plate.
"Do you have enough to eat?"
Zhang Jian grinned.
"If Fang Yuan can't finish hers, I'll eat it!"
Bai Mo slightly pulled at the corner of his mouth.
Just as he was about to eat, suddenly he heard a voice coming from the side.
"Wow, what a cute little fox!
"Can I hold you?"
Bai Mo, along with Black Claw, turned to look. They saw a girl in a white chiffon dress, slightly bending, hands on her knees, looking at Black Claw with a dreamy expression.
Fang Yuan froze... The girl's chiffon dress was a celebrity style, worth several tens of thousands!
Zhang Jian froze... The wristwatch the girl wore, named "Queen of Naples," was worth hundreds of thousands!
Bai Mo glanced... Inside the girl's skirt, there were dozens of different Human Skin Talismans, most of them Sequence Nine, but a few were Soul Talismans from Sequence Eight! Yet this girl had no apparent Divine Sense, her spirit was unclear, didn't resemble Sequence Eight, at most Sequence Nine.
Black Claw was clutching a lamb chop, huddled in his master's arms, tilting its head to glance... This girl seemed like a creep, like a fanatic, gave off an eerie feeling!
Bai Mo frowned and declined.
"Sorry, this is my Immortal Beast, it's shy and can't be held by others."
The girl ignored Bai Mo and simply reached out toward Black Claw. Seeing Black Claw retreat, she grinned and sat down on the chair across the aisle.
"Do you like eating lamb chops?"
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? Is this the Golden Emperor Hotel? Please send a serving of special roasted lamb chops to West State University dining hall.
"Within ten minutes."
Having said this, without waiting for a response from the other side, she hung up, her tone unmistakably firm.
