Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 170 - 118: Only the Two of Us Left in the Ward

"What should we have for lunch today?"

"Small lobsters?"

"Seems like it's the season for them?"

At the dining table, Bai Mo held his phone, considering what to order for delivery.

He rarely ate small lobsters before... After all, he didn't have much money in his pocket. It's different now; he's someone with a salary, can eat whatever and order whatever!

Suddenly, a notification popped up on his phone.

Turns out it was from the group chat formed when he visited Fang Yuan and Zhang Jian at the hospital last time, and Fang Yuan had sent a message.

["@Bai Mo, @Zhang Shan, @Lu Yang, @Yu Tingting"]

["We didn't chat much last time because Zhang Jian's mom was there."]

["Do you want to come hang out again today?"]

Huh?

Bai Mo instinctively wanted to reply that he wouldn't go this time... After all, he just went not long ago; can he go every day?

In the group chat, Zhang Jian quickly sent a message.

["Haha, no hurry, we're all recovered, just a couple more days of checks and then we get discharged. Let's celebrate together once we're out."]

Bai Mo frowned.

What's going on?

Fang Yuan's inviting people over, and Zhang Jian's saying not to... Is something up?

But then Fang Yuan sent another message in the group chat.

["Zhang Jian's dad was discharged this morning, and his mom left with him."]

["My parents are away on business and won't be back until this evening."]

["You guys come quickly!"]

["If you don't come, it'll be just me and Zhang Jian in the ward all day."]

Uh?

Bai Mo instantly understood!

This isn't a regular invitation from Fang Yuan; this is a plea for backup, a plea for "light bulb" reinforcements!

Zhang Jian still wouldn't give up and sent another message.

["Oh dear, they're all busy with the Immortal Technique Committee."]

And immediately below, there was a row of replies.

["Zhang Shan says not busy, heading over right away!"]

["Lu Yang says not busy, heading over right away!"]

["Yu Tingting says not busy, heading over right away!"]

Bai Mo looked at the replies from the three, eyed Zhang Jian's sleazy profile picture, smirked, and typed away as well.

["Bai Mo says not busy, heading over right away!"]

...

West State City Lambo Private Hospital.

Whoosh... The elevator doors opened.

Bai Mo walked out of the elevator.

His fox apprentice White Claw, with a large bag of small lobsters in each paw, wagged its tail following behind the master. Occasionally, its nose twitched, sniffing the aroma of the lobsters... These things smelled good, but seemed to have little meat?

Walking through the corridor, they entered the ward.

Inside was a scene of joy and laughter; Zhang Shan, Lu Yang, and Yu Tingting had already arrived, sitting by Fang Yuan's bed, chatting and laughing, eating fried chicken and pizza. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

There were also two silent ones.

One was Zhang Jian, sitting on the hospital bed, his face dark, looking like he had failed in some mischief.

The other... was actually Wu Qingyun?

She sat quietly beside the hospital bed in loose sportswear.

The sword box was upright on the bedside table, within her reach.

Her face had a dull expression, her features sculpted beautifully but devoid of liveliness.

"How come Committee Member Wu Qingyun is here too?"

Zhang Shan explained.

"Ah? Brought her over to make friends, let everyone get to know her! Haha."

Oh?

Brought her over to make friends?

The group moved a bedside table, placed the small lobsters on it, and gathered around to eat.

Bai Mo, holding White Claw, was about to put on disposable gloves when he felt his phone vibrate, took a glance, and saw that Zhang Shan had secretly messaged him.

["Committee Member Wu Qingyun, the psychologist advised us to bring her along."]

["The doctor said we don't need to pay special attention to her, just let her join the fun."]

Bai Mo calmly put the phone back.

Looking at Wu Qingyun again, her complexion seemed quite good, clearly showing the effectiveness of the medicine prescribed earlier in regulating her disrupted energy flow.

"Ah, hurry up and eat!"

"Small lobsters, pizza, fried chicken, such happiness, hahaha."

"Zhang Jian, don't make such a face, peel shrimp for Fang Yuan!"

"If you don't peel shrimp properly, Fang Yuan won't invite us again next time."

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha!"

The group chatted and ate, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhang Jian sighed and began peeling shrimp for Fang Yuan. But as he peeled, he suddenly realized he's the slowest at peeling shrimp at the table!

Zhang Shan and the other three had nimble fingers.

Wu Qingyun, with a cold face, peeled shrimp rapidly and steadily, with two clicks of her fingers, the shrimp meat was out, ready to be eaten.

As for Bai Mo... Bai Mo himself wasn't peeling shrimp; his Immortal Beast sat on his lap, using its fox claws to peel shrimp at an insane speed!

The fluffy front paws pinched and scraped, quickly picking out whole shrimp meat, even dipping them into sauce before delivering it to Bai Mo's mouth and its own, enjoying the feast swiftly!

In front of Bai Mo, the shrimp shells piled up were the most at the table!

The shrimp meat he and Fang Yuan ate were the least at the table!

He was speechless, feeling the shameless oppression of cultivators against mortals through these two boxes of small lobsters!

Suddenly, creak...

The ward door opened.

Everyone was startled and looked at the door.

It was a nurse wearing a white cap, looking inside.

They looked at the nurse and then at the two bowls of small lobsters, inhaling the garlic chili and lobster aroma mingling in the air... Suddenly, they froze. Eating such strongly scented food in the ward, would the nurse scold them?

But then the ward door opened, and the nurse actually pushed a food cart inside, revealing a big bowl of small lobsters, brighter in color, larger in size, steaming hot, the garlic chili lobster aroma more intense, permeating the room.

Huh?

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.
