Chapter 386: Chapter 175 Oscar Owes Lin Baici an Oscar Statuette_2

Hua Yue Yu felt a bit better, but she was still bleary-eyed from intoxication, her hands continuously groping all over Lin Baici’s body.

"Little Bai, your abs are so firm!"

The Little Merperson stretched out her fair index finger, poked Lin Baici’s belly, then lifted his shirt hem, attempting to burrow inside.

When the Goryeo girl saw this, she pressed down on Hua Yue Yu’s head, preventing her from proceeding.

"Oppa is mine!"

Jin Ying Zhen glared at Hua Yue Yu, vehemently declaring her sovereignty.

"If you don’t think of something fast, with them getting drunk like this, they’ll end up being dragged off by those scorpion monsters to dance!"

Song Huizhi also realized that those who passed out would be taken away and eaten.

Her constitution was strong; she could still handle it, but if they couldn’t find the key to breaking this dilemma, she’d be finished as well.

Lin Baici seized the moment when the Scorpion Queen was preoccupied with her meal, no longer paying attention to him, and quickly took out a bag of squid strips from the Black Tripod Bowl while using his backpack for cover.

"Red Medicine!"

Lin Baici handed some to High Ponytail, then grabbed a handful and prepared to stuff it into Jin Ying Zhen and Hua Yue Yu’s mouths.

"What are you doing?"

The scorpion beauty with the pointy chin stood not far away, staring intently at Lin Baici.

"These are delicacies from the East, squid strips. Do you want to try some?"

Lin Baici showed the bag in his hand to the scorpion beauty, "To be honest, I’m not quite used to these ancient Egyptian delicacies that you have here!"

The scorpion beauty came over, looked at the dried and dehydrated strips of meat in Lin Baici’s hand, took some, and popped them into her mouth.

Crunch! Crunch!

The scorpion beauty chewed.

They tasted of the sea and were quite salty, just ordinary snacks.

After confirming there was nothing wrong with these strips, the scorpion beauty left.

"Tastes good, right? I usually snack on this while drinking."

Lin Baici ate some then quickly pried open the mouths of Jin Ying Zhen and Hua Yue Yu, stuffing the ’squid strips’ inside.

"Here, have a drink!"

Lin Baici picked up a cup and started pouring drinks for the Goryeo girl and the anchorwoman.

There were two reasons: to deceive the scorpion beauty and because both girls were somewhat drunk, and absolutely unresponsive to swallowing, he had to flush the ’squid strips’ down with the alcohol.

The Scorpion Queen sneaked peeks at Lin Baici and, seeing that he was not only drinking but also pouring drinks for his companions, she was pleased.

Drink up!

Once you’re drunk, I’ll get to taste you.

Hopefully, your flesh is nice and chewy.

After eating the squid strips, Xia Hongyao felt her body warming up within a few seconds, breaking out in a heavy sweat. The light buzz from alcohol also dissipated quite a bit.

"Little Linzi, this is..."

Xia Hongyao’s mouth twitched, as she suddenly realized what it was.

Aside from Lin Baici’s debut battle in the Dragon Temple God Market, Xia Hongyao had not missed any of his adventures, whether it was conquering God’s ruins or purifying regulatory pollution in daily life; she knew all about his spoils of war.

Could these fish strips really be from the flesh of that mummy Lin Baici found in the Palm Harbor God Market?

Xia Hongyao was curious back then why Lin Baici had picked up that monstrous mummy; after all, it looked spooky and seemed useless.

Lin Baici said that its flesh was edible and could detoxify all poisons.

Xia Hongyao covered her mouth, trying hard to think about something else to distract herself, fearing she might vomit otherwise.

High Ponytail had guessed right.

The flesh of that dried-up monstrous corpse had powerful detoxifying effects; unless the poisoning was immediately fatal, anyone who ate its flesh could be cured.

Ordinarily, adding a few strands to tea could cleanse the intestines and stomach, expel toxins from the body, and provide skincare benefits.

Anyway, eating it frequently meant no acne outbreaks.

"It seems if you want to survive longer in God’s ruins, you have to accumulate more taboo things, like Hollow Teas and materials like the monster mummies!"

Lin Baici chewed on the meat strips, suppressing his revulsion. He could feel that, as he sweated, his body seemed to become clear from the inside out.

This pack of squid strips was a disguise, the bottom layers all being flesh from the monstrous mummy.

"Eh?"

Hua Yue Yu came to her senses, her vision filled with darkness. She struggled for a bit and finally managed to stick her head out, and then her cheeks turned beet red.

Because she saw she had emerged from underneath Lin Baici’s clothes.

Damn it!

What the heck did I just do?

"Oppa?"

Jin Ying Zhen had a bit of a headache.

To prevent the scorpion beauty from suspecting anything, Lin Baici quickly leaned into the ears of Hua Yue Yu and Jin Ying Zhen, pretending to be intimate while whispering a reminder.

"Pretend you’re still drunk!"

Both girls were of delicate and refined nature, and being a celebrated anchorwoman and a chaebol heiress respectively, they were more than familiar with playing along in such situations.

Xia Hongyao also fed Gu Qingqiu some squid strips, helping her regain her senses.

This girl was very astute; without needing to be told, she continued to feign intoxication.

"Lin the Great, please give me some of that squid strip!"

Song Huizhi pleaded.

"You’re not passed out yet; eating too much of this stuff is bad for your health!"

Lin Baici gave a perfunctory response.

"I don’t care about my health!"

Song Huizhi locked her eyes on Lin Baici: "You wouldn’t want me to report you, would you?"

"Heh, without me, are you confident you can get through this taboo game?"

Lin Baici retorted sarcastically.

I’m afraid of your threats?

That’s wishful thinking.

"So you think you can manage it?"

Song Huizhi’s face twitched as she struggled to suppress the anger in her chest.

"Of course."

Lin Baici looked at Song Huizhi: "That squid strip is a taboo thing, very precious. I have no ties to you, so why should I give it to you?"

Song Huizhi was still worried that Lin Baici might discover she was also a member of the Lost Coast, and that her failure to assist Bai Fugu earlier would seem foolish.
