Strange Cards

Chapter 259 I'll be a puppy if I lie.

Shi Yu drove the three little ones to the hole-in-the-wall restaurant that the director had taken him to back then.

Shi Yu looked at Lao Yu, who was busy in the kitchen, and called out to him.

"Uncle Yu, is anyone interested in your private room on the third floor?"

Old Yu, who was chopping vegetables, looked up and recognized Shi Yu after a while.

"Who are you, kid...?"

"The kid that shameless guy brought to dinner back then?"

"Uncle Yu, are you talking about my high school's headmaster?"

"I haven't called anyone shameless except for that guy."

"He took away handfuls of tea leaves; he was the most shameless of them all."

Shi Yu chuckled a few times, then pointed to the stairwell.

"Uncle Yu, are the private rooms on the third floor empty?"

"Nobody's here."

"My hole-in-the-wall restaurant is frequented by migrant workers and manual laborers. Those guys are lucky to even have a meal. The private rooms are basically unused except for that shameless guy and the occasional customer."

"I'm free today, you can go up."

"There's a menu inside. Order what you want and bring it down."

"OK."

Shi Yu led the three children to a private room on the third floor, handed them the menu, and began to slowly brew tea.

Order whatever you want to eat.

"But we can't waste it, or we'll get a spanking when we get home."

As she spoke, Shigure finished brewing the tea, kept two cups for herself, and then passed the other three cups to the three little ones.

The three children had no intention of drinking the scalding hot tea until Shiyu snapped her fingers and let it cool down for three hours before finally drinking it.

The menu was quickly passed from hand to hand among the three children, and Shi Yanlan marked each item with a pencil.

Shi Yu sent Bai Yu her location, and soon after, Bai Yu, looking travel-worn, pushed open the door and walked in.

Looking at Bai Yu's messy hair, Shi Yu smiled, casually took out a hair tie and tied Bai Yu's snow-white long hair into a ponytail, and then said.

"Where have you been, you little rascal? Your hair is such a mess."

"Luckily, your cat ears and tail were well hidden, otherwise you would have been exposed by now."

Bai Yu took a sip of tea and then spoke.

"I encountered two peak-level demons in the deep mountains and forests of Wangshan City."

"It seemed to be a ghost couple. After I sensed the fierce howls and ghostly energy fluctuations inside, I rushed in and started fighting them."

"In the end, we won, right?"

"It's barely a draw."

"But in the end, I traded my life for two lives, and the only price I paid was two claws on my back."

After hearing this, Shi Yu grabbed Bai Yu by the collar and breathed a sigh of relief after looking at her smooth, white back.

"It scared me. I thought you were going to have two ugly scratches on your back."

"Master, don't forget."

"The Jack of Spades is in my hands. As long as I'm not dead, my wounds can be healed."

"It's just a fatal wound. As long as I don't die, I can survive."

Shi Yu looked at Bai Yu, who was beaming with excitement, and tapped Bai Yu's fair forehead in an annoyed tone.

"You're staying home right now, you're not going anywhere."

"You've gone mad from killing ghosts. Just stay home, sit down, and calm down."

"Tomorrow I'll leave you a visualization breathing technique for Asuras. Although you're not an Asura, this won't be 100% effective for you, but the calming and concentration effects are universal and will be especially good for you right now."

"what?"

"No, Master."

"I want to go out..."

Seeing Bai Yushiyu clinging to her arm and acting coquettishly, she raised her hand and retrieved all four spade cards and the Remnant Flame Evolution Device.

"Your attempts to be cute won't work."

"Nine Shadows will handle the problems in the south. For now, you just stay home and behave yourself."

"I won't be able to let you out until at least the end of the month, or even December."

"I don't want your murderous intent to go out of control the moment I've managed to control it."

After hearing Shigure's words, Baiyu pouted, trying to use her old pitiful expression to manipulate Shigure, but found that this trick no longer worked.

Shi Yu looked at Bai Yu and rubbed her slightly chubby cheeks.

"Don't even think about it, I'm immune to that trick."

"Miao Miao has used this trick to be cute countless times, I'm already immune to it."

Looking at Bai Yu sitting there with a pitiful expression, Shi Yu gently ruffled Bai Yu's hair.

"Okay, stop pouting."

"Your pout is so thick you could hang an oil bottle on it."

"Tomorrow, while Miaomiao is still at school, I'll take you to the beach. Also, after the satellite launch tomorrow, I'll have some free time in the afternoon."

"Have you three ordered yet?"

"I've ordered."

Shi Yu took the menu from Shi Yanlan and looked at the densely packed checkmarks on it.

"OK."

"If you can't finish it, then eat it all!"

As Shi Yu spoke, she took the menu and turned to leave the private room. However, Shi Yu was still cautious and glanced at the checkmarks on the menu.

Shigure felt relieved after discovering that all the dishes were small portions. Although there were more than ten kinds of dishes, the small portions were only half the size of the normal portions, totaling only five or six dishes.

After returning to the private room, Shi Yu patted Liu Yu and asked curiously.

"Xiao Jiu, what's the purpose of your parent-teacher conference tonight?"

"The midterm exam results are out, and I'll also report to my parents on my learning progress over the past half semester."

"Approximately what time should we go?"

"It starts at eight and ends at nine, lasting one hour."

"I've already told my mom, and Xiaoqi has told Uncle Wu too. Didn't Miaomiao tell you?"

"no."

Shi Yu looked at Shi Yanlan, who looked guilty, and said irritably.

"You think I'd scold you or something if you did badly on the test?"

"My grades in junior high were so bad they were practically nonexistent. I wasn't even a good role model myself, so why should I criticize you?"

"Even though I went to university, I haven't been to the classroom except for the first few days of the semester and today. I'm not exactly a studious person."

"Everyone has their own way of living life. My life was forced out of me, but you are much better off than me."

"At least you won't end up like me, without even the right to choose."

Shi Yanlan looked at Shi Yu and held back for a while, her little face turning red.

"Then it's settled."

"You're not allowed to spank me after the parent-teacher meeting."

"You're a dog if you lie to me."

"Fine, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Shi Yu smiled and continued drinking her tea. Soon, Uncle Yu's food was served in the private room on the third floor.

The three children looked at the appetizing dish with suspicion, but their suspicions vanished completely after taking a bite.

Especially Shi Yanlan, whose small, half-grown body managed to finish a whole bucket of rice all by herself.

Shiyu was initially shocked, but after remembering that the girl's true form was a giant weasel that was five meters tall, she understood.

Being able to eat is a blessing.
