Chapter 87 — Snow White in a Dark Fairy Tale (15) The knife and fork clanged with a faint sound on the food plate, Shen Mubai bit a mouthful of broccoli with a blank expression, chewing carefully and swallowing slowly.
At last, she couldn"t bear it anymore and wept, "System, I"m just feeling at a loss today ah."
System said, "Do you want another chicken?"
Shen Mubai, "…don"t say points ah, aren"t we best friends?"
Actually, the green salad"s flavour was really not bad, after all, it was something that was prepared by the imperial chef. Nevertheless, the unhappy Shen Mubai who said that if she had to abstain from eating meat in every three meals a day, it wouldn"t be any different from simply asking her life.
The previous world"s a.s.signment resulted in 30 points, after using two points, she was left with only 28 points. Shen Mubai isn"t a blockhead, she had the ability to gather points and achieve new life, but the system didn"t want to say a single word about this and just directly emphasizing that she can use points to buy some supplementary props from the market to complete the mission. After sweet talking about the use of those supplementary items persistently, of course it will break through Shen Mubai"s psychological barrier, and in the course of time, she would be like sucking in narcotics and be dependant on it.
Going round and round again like this, she could only use up all of her a.s.signment"s points to buy things from the system, sinking into the devil"s cycle. That kind of result will only make someone tremble in fear.
"Delicious! So delicious!" the monotonous voice kept on ringing inside the imperial palace.
Shen Mubai who was holding her knife and fork lifted her sight up to the parrot"s black beady eyes.
The parrot whose body was fully white like snow flew over from the windowsill to the dining table, perching straight in front of her plate of salad. It faintly crooked its head while opening its grey beak, "I want to eat."
Shen Mubai stabbed a carrot with her fork and pa.s.sed it over to its face while smiling genially, without any hesitation, "Eat then."
The parrot"s round beady eyes stared at her for a while, revealing its suspicion towards her.
Shen Mubai pulled the corner of her mouth and took a bite of the carrot, "No poison."
Then finally the parrot retracted its sight and contentedly pecking on the carrot she gave, one peck at a time.
Shen Mubai propped up her chin and look at it with hidden bitterness, "How can you eat that with such relish ah?"
The parrot swallowed the food in its mouth and glimpsed at her, "Delicious! Delicious!"
Shen Mubai said, "Not delicious, meat is the one that"s delicious."
The parrot looked at her with disdain in its eyes, "ptooey" [T/N: spit] and immediately turned to continue pecking the food on top of the knife and fork.
The Queen took back the knife and fork with a wooden expression and looked down on it.
The parrot hesitatingly looked at the vegetables on the plate, its eyes full of yearning, and after a while, it finally yielded to her pressure, "Meat is delicious."
Shen Mubai cracked a smile, "Ohh, good child." After that, she gave the food over to it.
The system looked with a blank face over the ‘one human – one parrot"s unexpected daily dialogue.
After they finished their supper, the parrot disappeared to who knows where without leaving any trace. Shen Mubai didn"t mind it and instead yawned, tugged at the soft fur blanket on top of the bed to go to sleep.
Breakfast was toast and milk, Shen Mubai who was awaken early in the morning with a starving belly finished eating with tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in her eyes.
"I have never eaten such a delicious toast in my life."
System, "……" I don"t know if this host was stupid or mentally developed because of hunger.
At noon, she eat lunch with Snow White in her palace.
The beautiful queen tread inside the imperial palace with an arrogant and n.o.ble bearing as she faced the young girl in front of her with a haughty manner, "I"m not here to see you, I merely feel bored eating at my palace so I just want to have a change of place." [T/N: b-baka!]
