Chapter 68: What Kind of Chicken is KFC?

"Giving it to me for free?" Although Ji Yan adored the handkerchief, she was not entirely unreasonable. She could clearly sense the man's excessive and improper intentions!

"Of course, beauty, as long as you..." Without much hesitation, the man suddenly grabbed Ji Yan's hand, stroking it greedily. "As long as you are willing... as long as you are willing..."

"Is that so..." Ji Yan curved her lips in a seductive smirk, her smile truly mesmerizing. "I understand. That is, of course, no problem at all!"

Hmph, this Serpent Emperor detests this kind of man the most in her life! Since you are so insistent, then... this Serpent Emperor will gladly play along with you!

With a wicked smile, Ji Yan tightly gripped the man's hand. "Of course I don't mind. But this sort of thing... isn't quite suitable to be done right here, is it?"

"I understand, I understand! Then wherever you say we go, we go!"

"How about the small woods nearby, what do you think?"

Without a single moment of hesitation, the man followed Ji Yan toward the deserted grove ahead.

Along the way, Ji Yan could only sigh inwardly. Could all human males possibly be such creatures?

She had already encountered one lecher back in the cave, and now another one appeared not long after!

How utterly boring.

If all men in this world were such pestilential beings, then... she would have no reason to show them any mercy whatsoever!

"Young master..." Reaching the depths of the woods, Ji Yan stopped and spoke in a coquettish voice.

"Ah~ my lady, what is it?" Upon hearing such a voice, a surge of inexplicable excitement welled up in the man's heart. The very next second, Ji Yan unceremoniously threw her arms around him, cooing, "This little lady is hungry, what should I do~?"

"Hungry? Then... what would you like to eat, my lady?" Completely oblivious to any change in Ji Yan, the man was entirely intoxicated by the sensation of a beauty tightly embracing his neck, feeling as though he were bathing in peach blossoms.

"This little lady usually only likes to eat the vital essence of men~" Ji Yan continued to act spoiled, and upon hearing this, the man's eyes instantly filled with visions of romantic encounters!

"Want vital essence? No problem at all! Brother's vital essence is all yours! Take as much as you want!"

"Then... you said it yourself..." Holding the man tightly in her embrace, Ji Yan's expression suddenly turned ferocious as she bared her sharp teeth and forked tongue, every trace of her previous gentle and tender facade vanishing completely!

"You brought this upon yourself... Don't go crying about it when you reach the netherworld!" With that, Ji Yan viciously plunged her sharp fangs straight into the man's neck!

A miserable scream of "Ahhhhhh—" echoed through the silent woods, only to subside and return to absolute stillness just a few seconds later...

Meanwhile, seeing that the mother and son had finally finished shopping, Shi Zhiyan sat quietly inside a tavern, flipping through the establishment's signature menu.

"What would the honorable guest like to order? Our restaurant is the most famous and luxurious establishment in the entire county; whatever the guest desires, we have it!" the waiter asked respectfully.

"Could you skip the nonsense? This young lady only eats chicken! Roasted chicken, baked chicken, stewed chicken, fried chicken! Spring chicken, call-girl chicken, free-range chicken! Eggs, chicken soup, chicken cutlets, chicken blood, chicken liver, chicken hearts! In short, all kinds of chicken!!"

"..." The waiter instantly froze on the spot, petrified as if turned to stone, before metaphorically shattering into pieces.

Having no other choice, the waiter turned his gaze to Shi Zhiyan, who merely shrugged indifferently. "You heard her correctly; this eccentric loves eating chicken. Just bring out every single chicken dish your restaurant has." Then, looking at Xiaotong with a puzzled expression, Shi Zhiyan asked, "Right, Xiaotong, what would you like to eat?"

"Xiaotong will eat whatever Mommy eats."

"..." Shi Zhiyan was already utterly defeated.

"Oh, and waiter, most importantly—I want an order of KFC!" Ming Xi suddenly remembered that children in the 21st century loved KFC the most, and her son certainly couldn't be an exception!

Besides, she had to admit that as far as she was concerned, KFC was indeed the most delicious chicken in existence!

However, by this point, the waiter was completely and utterly bewildered in the wind. "K-KFC?!"

"What? Aren't you the most luxurious tavern around? How can you not even know what KFC is? That's the King of Chicken, you know!"

"The King of Chicken?!" Having worked here for so many years, the waiter had never heard of such a thing, nor did he have the faintest idea what Ming Xi was talking about.

"Mommy, Xiaotong doesn't know what KFC is either."

"You silly boy, you're so dense! KFC is chicken made by an old grandfather! Anyway, it's extremely, extremely delicious, the kind of chicken all children love!"

"Oh, I see... Then Xiaotong wants some too! Mister, Xiaotong wants an order of KFC."

Xiaotong asked innocently, entirely unaware that the waiter was now convulsing in shock!

What kind of chicken was KFC? And the most delicious chicken at that? What in the world was she talking about? He had never heard of it in his life!

"Hey, why are you convulsing over there? Since this is a tavern in the county where you have whatever is requested, go and prepare it quickly! Oh, right, don't forget to include an order of New Orleans roasted chicken burgers! Understand?"

"Yeah, right! Xiaotong wants that New something chicken burger, mister, go prepare it quickly."

As Xiaotong spoke, he completely failed to notice that foam was now bubbling from the waiter's mouth!

Shi Zhiyan was thoroughly in awe of Ming Xi's train of thought. What KFC? What New Orleans roasted chicken burger? On which continent did she eat such things? Could she have possibly crossed over from another continent?
