3150 How Much Can a Girl Eat?
Did Yang Zhihu want to give them away?
Of course not. He had been saving them for a long while.
However, he couldn’t starve the girl either.
Therefore, Yang Zhihu told Wang Zhaole, “Use them all. We have to feed the kid.”
“Alright,” said Wang Zhaole.
“Wait.” Yang Zhihu stopped Wang Zhaole before the latter left. “Don’t tell anyone about Feng Wu’s appetite. We don’t want to damage her reputation.”
He wondered if the crown prince knew about this.
Yang Zhihu had just sat down, when Wang Zhaole returned.
Yang Zhihu asked, “Shouldn’t you be taking care of Feng Wu?”
“Well…” Wang Zhaole had an indescribable look on his face.
Yang Zhihu asked, “Has something happened to the girl? Is she alright?”
Wang Zhaole said, “Well…”
Yang Zhihu slapped his desk. “Speak!”
Wang Zhaole said, “She’s finished everything. She absorbed all the essence crystals you gave me…”
Pffft!
Yang Zhihu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
It had taken him a year to accumulate all those essence crystals! What a wasteful girl!
He felt like dropping to his knees and begging her to stop.
Wang Zhaole asked, “What should we do now? The girl still says she’s hungry.”
Yang Zhihu was glad he never promised to feed the girl until she was full.
“You can go now. I’ll take care of it.”
After sending Wang Zhaole away, Yang Zhihu paced up and down the room.
What should he do now?
He couldn’t starve the kid, but he couldn’t afford the expense either.
He had no choice but to talk to Elder Heng.
Elder Heng was shocked. “Really?”
Yang Zhihu nodded. “Yes. She can’t stop eating. It’s as if her stomach has turned into a bottomless pit, and all the food just disappears. We don’t have enough essence crystals to give her!”
Elder Heng rubbed his chin. “We didn’t have enough before, but maybe that’s no longer the case. After all, she won us an essence crystal mine.
“However, we’ll need Elder Helian’s permission first.”
Hence, Yang Zhihu and Elder Heng went to see Elder Helian together.
Elder Helian was a very stingy man!
But he immediately said yes when he learned the essence crystals were for Feng Wu. “Of course she can have them! She can take as many as she needs! There’s no limit!”
Yang Zhihu wanted to remind his superior that the decision would cost him a lot.
He couldn’t be too explicit, and the remainder was quite subtle.
However, Elder Helian didn’t think much of it. “How much energy can a girl absorb? Don’t be so stingy!”
Stingy?!
Yang Zhihu nearly fainted.
He asked gingerly, “Did Miss Feng Wu have such a big appetite before?”
Elder Helian said, “Did she? I’ve never heard anything about it.”
Yang Zhihu’s stomach sank. Did she become this way because she fought with some girls in the colonels’ quarters? Did that make it an injury she had suffered on the job?
Elder Helian gave Yang Zhihu a token. “Take this and get the essence crystals from mine No. 3. It’s guarded by Elder Wu.”
Yang Zhihu said, “I’ll probably need a lot.”
Elder Helian waved him off, not taking the reminder seriously.
A lot? How much could a girl eat?
