CHAPTER 710: CHAPTER 714: FAIRY TALE TOWN (PART 3)

The people behind were still whispering in extremely low voices, while Su Li up front squinted with a smile.

Don’t worry, don’t worry, even without salted meat, potatoes are also very tasty.

Potato slices, mashed potatoes, shredded potatoes, baked potatoes, steamed potatoes, braised potatoes...

Learn about the various ways to prepare potatoes, alright?

Si and the others entered Su Li’s house full of anticipation, only to be shocked by the tableful of potato dishes laid out before them.

Their faces turned green with astonishment.

Si couldn’t believe it and asked Su Li, "Are we, are we just eating these for lunch?"

Su Li joyfully replied, "Of course, these are the freshest potatoes, just dug up this morning. I couldn’t bear to eat them and saved them all for you."

The four men and five women present: "....."

Well, thank you so much.

The problem was, they had eaten a meal of potatoes at the village chief’s house yesterday too.

Now, looking at the full table of potatoes, they felt like they were about to finish eating their share of potatoes for several years.

Anian, the cool-looking boy with a not-so-great temper, became displeased at once.

"Little sister, do your parents know about this?"

Not only did Anian think that the young girl in front of them was doing this on purpose, but Si thought the same.

The last time he was here, this little sister was extremely enthusiastic, so how come this time... it just felt odd.

Su Li said with a smile, "They know, they know. My potatoes are the tastiest, so they agreed to let me use them to serve you."

Su Li spoke earnestly, uttering complete nonsense.

Although these outsiders were reluctant, they could not overcome their hunger; when one is hungry, anything tastes delicious.

Anyway, lunch was simply brushed aside with a meal of potatoes.

Su Li was also quite happy, as these detestable potatoes were finally being reduced in sight.

In her house, so full of potatoes, neither the villagers nor the original owner’s family had ever thought of taking them to exchange for money or other goods.

This was indeed a great mystery.

The original owner, who had grown up here from infancy, took it for granted and found nothing unusual.

However, to Su Li, there were more than one or two strange things.

Yesterday, from the baby-faced man’s mouth, she heard about Fairy Tale Town, and the original owner’s memory also contained impressions of it.

The original owner knew their village was on the very edge of Fairy Tale Town.

Outsiders could only enter Fairy Tale Town through their village.

Although Fairy Tale Town was just a town, it was large, incredibly large, so big that the original owner couldn’t even imagine.

However, the original owner had never left the village, so her knowledge wasn’t sufficient to use as a reference.

But from the information Su Li pieced together, Fairy Tale Town was bigger than an ordinary city; it was akin to a large metropolis.

And it was divided into several districts, each managed separately.

----------

In the afternoon, Si and the other outsiders busied themselves with work while waiting for other villagers to invite them to dinner.

But as everyone finished their tasks and went home, they didn’t receive a single invitation to another house.

Su Li appeared again with a beaming smile, "Hey, dinner at my place is ready, let’s hurry back and eat."

Hey, she had managed to knock out some of the potatoes from the cellar, which was simply too awesome.

"No, no need, we’ll eat dinner at another house instead."

A girl said in a soft, mushy voice toward Su Li.

Su Li’s mouth suddenly revealed a wicked smile, "Don’t wait any longer, once you’ve agreed to eat at my place, they’ll just take it for granted that you’ve chosen to have meals at my house for the next few days, so they won’t come to invite you anymore."

"Actually, since it’s all just eating potatoes, it doesn’t really matter whose house we eat at."

Si and the others thought they were seeing things, actually witnessing maliciousness on the face of an enthusiastic and hospitable village girl.

Rubbing their eyes and looking again... indeed, they had been mistaken.

In the following days, Su Li successfully made these outsiders experience what she had felt before, giving her quite a bit of satisfaction.

She was just that malevolent, her joy truly built upon the pain of others.

Once the appointed time came, the group of outsiders ran off as if they were escaping.

Compared to their bright and shiny appearance upon arrival, the leaving outsiders were pale as death, looking as if they had lost some weight even in their figures.

Just when Anian and his companions thought they had finally escaped the shadow named Su Li.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a slim figure blocked their path, instantly reviving their fear of being dominated by potatoes.

"Hehe, the village chief grandpa agreed to let me go to Fairy Tale Town with you, saying it’s good for me to see more of the world and not always think that potatoes are such a great thing."

"Stop it, don’t mention those two words..."

Si retched a few times; he absolutely did not want to hear anything related to potatoes ever again.

Su Li: "Oh, are you talking about potatoes?"

Su Li was really bad to the core.

-----------

Although Si and his companions didn’t agree to Su Li tagging along, they didn’t refuse her either.

How could they refuse? With legs of her own, she could go wherever she wanted—were they supposed to chop off her legs or what?

Su Li followed behind the group of men and women at a reasonable distance, occasionally overhearing their murmurs.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance to Fairy Tale Town.

Fairy Tale Town truly lived up to its name with breathtaking beauty.

Flowers blooming everywhere, laughter and cheer easily heard, just looking at the fresh scene in front of them was enough to relax one completely.

The unpleasant experiences of Si and the others in the village dissipated before they even entered the town, almost completely mended.

The girls’ faces were once again filled with happy smiles, and the boys’ faces bore knowing grins.

After showing their passes to the guards, Si and company didn’t worry about Su Li behind them and quickly blended into the town like droplets into the ocean, disappearing from view.

But Su Li was stopped outside the town.

Even when she showed the identity information of the original owner, it did not help, only after she produced the same proof as the group of outsiders was she allowed in.

This caused Su Li to have some other thoughts.

The group of outsiders obviously wanted to ditch her, but Su Li didn’t mind; traveling with them was just convenient for her, she didn’t need to act with them.

Casually walking on the roads very different from the rural paths, seeing the brightly lit glass window beside her filled with appetizing sweets, Su Li quickly turned in.

Wow, too good, she finally got away from the damn potato meals.

When Su Li was full and content, belching satisfactorily, she pulled out a small purse to pay.

If Si and the others had been there, they would have found that the small purse in Su Li’s hand looked very familiar.

It looked more and more like their own.

Su Li expressed that it was indeed theirs, now compensated to her as her labor fees for the past few days.

The potato meals were on the house, free of charge, but the Demon King’s service fee, now that was something else...

Shaking the slightly heavy purse, Su Li still felt shortchanged.

Meanwhile, a few people who had just realized their purse was missing were squatting on the street corner, almost in tears.
