Chapter 134: His Tank Is Full

After getting dressed and having breakfast (or was it lunch?), we were ready to set off. I was so excited I could hardly control myself; the feeling was even better than drinking spirit deer milk, and I couldn’t stop grinning foolishly.

We weren’t just going to see Xin’er—we were bringing her over for a few days!

It was absolutely wonderful! I hadn’t slept with Xin’er for so long!

Forget River had prepared a little sun hat with cat ears for me. The moment I put it on, I immediately felt adorable.

In my mind, I silently mocked this cat-obsessed guy—he even had to add ears to the hat.

He flicked those fake ears that didn’t really feel like anything and commented, “Ears that don’t move are low-end.”

I rolled my eyes. “If they moved, it wouldn’t be a hat anymore, it would be my ears.”

“Good point,” Forget River considered. “Or maybe I should pull off these two ears, leave two holes, and then your ears—”

“Stop, stop!” I cut him off, laughing awkwardly. “Master, please keep your divine powers in check! Save those grand ideas for later. We’re going to the human world, not the cat kingdom. This is just fine, really just fine!”

If I looked like a cat, how would I meet Xin’er? And with ears like these, I’d probably want to wrap myself up like last time, like an Indian uncle!

After hearing me, he nodded as if he accepted my suggestion and didn’t try to mess with my little hat anymore.

We arrived in the human world in high spirits, and I was astonished to see that Forget River could actually maintain his human form!

Small street vendors were everywhere, shouting and calling out. I hadn’t seen this lively, unique human-world bustle in a long time, and my heart felt warm. Holding Forget River’s hand, I looked around everywhere.

“Why can you suddenly keep your human form?” I asked curiously, looking up.

“I could before, but I couldn’t maintain it for long.”

I didn’t quite understand. In theory, my body was also made with his spiritual energy, so if I could transform into human form, why couldn’t he?

“Then since I belong to you and I can change, why can’t you?”

“Different capacities, different concepts.”

Did that mean he needed more spiritual energy?

I pouted. “So, your energy tank is full?”

“I’ve been eating a lot from you lately, replenishing well. Now it’s full.”

My face flushed. Knowing he was teasing, I excitedly asked, “Could you turn into a Qiongqi halfway through?”

“You’d be happy if I did,” he said, seeing right through the hint of mischievous delight in my eyes.

I smiled and admitted, “Of course! I’d become the hero in an American blockbuster, riding a giant monster through the streets! Maybe I’d even make the news! How cool would that be!”

Suddenly, he stopped, looked at me, lowered his gaze, and leaned close to my ear, teasing in a low voice:

“Except in bed, you can’t ride me.”

“Uh—” Before I could react, he bent down and kissed me, leaving me dumbfounded and unsure how to respond.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god… saying something like that on the street! What if someone heard?

Passersby kept glancing over; his voice wasn’t loud enough for them to hear. Maybe they were looking for another reason.

Yes, it must be another reason.

Blushing, I lowered my head, silent but secretly pleased, feeling a strange happiness.

I knew Forget River was handsome, but humans probably weren’t that shallow to just stare and comment on a good-looking guy.

I couldn’t guess what they were really looking at, but in my mind, I was thinking about my height and the collar around my neck.

I could let the collar slide for now—it was a bit alternative and I’d worn plenty—but the height difference…

Our height gap was huge, and that was probably the real reason people kept staring, especially after he bent down like that. My goodness!

Forget River didn’t really care about height; in the animal kingdom, males look at females based on behavior and strength rather than size or weight.

But I was human, and I cared.

Here in the human world, others probably cared too.

Forget River’s human form was about 1.85 meters tall, maybe a bit taller—typical slender and strong, not extremely tall, but definitely not short compared to me.

To put it simply, I reached about halfway up his upper arm and when I wrapped my arms around him, I was hugging his waist.

It felt quite happy. According to Forget River, a master leading a pet was just like that—nothing wrong with it.

But why did I feel like a dad taking his elementary school daughter out shopping?

No… even elementary school kids were taller than me now. Xin’er was almost as tall as I was!

Thinking of Xin’er made me quicken my steps, eager to see her!

I cared about others’ gazes, but I wouldn’t take them to heart.

If they thought the gap between Forget River and me was too big, it meant a good cabbage was being enjoyed by a pig. And this little pig still gained something.

If they thought Forget River was handsome, I’d add: “You haven’t even seen how handsome he is in bed!”

Thinking this, I couldn’t stop smiling.

Forget River looked at me like I was an idiot. But it didn’t matter—even if I was a fool, I would hold his hand tight and never get lost!

After wandering for a while—which was rare for us in the human world and considering it was Forget River’s first time openly walking around in the modern era—we strolled a bit longer.

We bought some small dolls and a box of takoyaki.

Forget River still disliked additives, but this was better than lollipops. After eating one takoyaki, the rest went straight into my stomach.

“I’m surprised you actually bought street food for me.”

“Why surprised?”

“Maybe I shouldn’t be eating this. Would the little one like it? Would it be good for it?”

Forget River nodded. “No, the little one can’t like these.”

“Right…”

Holding a lamb skewer, I suddenly lowered my head, feeling a bit guilty toward the little one. But then I heard him say:

“But you eat, you eat. It has celestial fruit spiritual energy to eat. It won’t compete with you.”

“Uh.” I was stunned, then laughed wryly. “I’m not worried about it competing with me…”

Giving it everything I have is what I want! Why would I care about a few bites? I was only afraid it wouldn’t be good for it!

But hearing Forget River, it seemed no impact at all. That made me feel at ease to eat!

Sure enough, carrying a fierce beast is simpler! Its defense is so strong I don’t have to worry about it!

Forget River didn’t say much and pulled me to keep walking. It seemed he deliberately came out this way, probably planning to take me around and buy some snacks all along.

There were many street foods—grilled squid on iron plates and more. Having not been back to the human world for a long time, I wanted to eat everything!

But in the end, I found I couldn’t finish much and left a lot behind. Whatever could be packed, he put in a bag. What couldn’t be saved, he threw directly into the trash.

I felt a little sorry and wanted to tell him not to throw it away—it was such a waste—but I was too shy to say so.

If I didn’t eat it, I couldn’t expect my master to clean up the leftovers, so I tried my best to eat, stuffing my belly until it was round.

“Master, I’m too full.”

“Isn’t this a rest?”

We sat on a bench by the street. He held a bag full of my snacks in his arms.

“So much left over. What a pity.”

“Didn’t you say you’d save it to eat later?”

“Yes, tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that!” I counted on my fingers. Anyway, I just didn’t want to waste it.

Since he thought I was full, he wouldn’t let me eat more, saying I shouldn’t binge.

So I said I’d save it for later, which would justify buying more!

“No,” he answered calmly. “Eat one meal when you get home, but don’t eat overnight food.”

“Why?”

Forget River glanced at me. “Although your body was made by me, you’re still human in the end. Humans are weak. Don’t you know whether you should eat overnight food?”

“I used to…” I began to plead.

“Used to is used to. No more now.” His tone was firm and unyielding.

I knew I couldn’t argue, so I forced a smile.

“That’s such a waste of money.”

I tried to grab the bag back to protect it but failed. In strength, I was no match for him.

Besides, the hierarchy was clear—I couldn’t just snatch it.

Otherwise, I’d be punished, or worse, punished.

After failing, I lowered my head and pouted, feeling sorry for the food.

Then I saw Forget River’s arm come over, scratching my chin a few times and speaking to me in a coaxing tone:

“There’s plenty of money. Better than you whining with diarrhea. Be good, and I’ll bring you here again to eat something hot.”
