Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle

Chapter 1319 631: The Start Is Also the End (End of Main Story)

Translated into plain language, Feifei looks like a little cat and can dissolve worries. In witchcraft terms, this "relieving worries" can refer to mental troubles as well as physical illness, and among the spirits recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it's an extremely rare type.

Some film and TV dramas will turn Feifei into a chubby little bird. There was a time when Luo Jun was really into watching that kind of Fantasy drama, and Qin Huai watched a couple of episodes with him. Thinking back on it now, Qin Huai suspects Luo Jun didn't even like that show; he just wanted Qin Huai to see Feifei being turned into a chubby little bird.

But the Feifei in the Spirit Monster World is different again from the one in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Feifei's power to relieve worries is multi-faceted; as long as Feifei is willing and wants to, aside from utterly ridiculous stuff like raising the dead, Feifei can basically resolve any worry a wisher has—in other words, fulfill any wish of his.

At the same time, Feifei is also one of a very few extremely special spirits, and is a spirit that all other spirits are especially fond of. Because Feifei is one of the rare few who can directly help spirits who failed at Crossing Tribulation to succeed in Crossing Tribulation, participate in their karma, and it won't make their tribulation harder—only Feifei's own tribulation difficulty will increase.

A purely self-sacrificing type of spirit.

So before Crossing Tribulation, most Feifeis will be warned by their seniors: don't be nosy, don't be too kind-hearted.

Obviously, Qin Huai didn't listen to a single word.

That's also why, even though Chen Huihong and the others didn't know what kind of spirit Qin Huai was in their previous lives, the moment they woke up they instantly understood his species.

Only Feifei can forcibly intervene to help them wake up.

Zhao Cheng'an was still firing off questions: "I have never seen a Feifei, to be precise I haven't seen many spirits at all. Of course I've heard of you Feifeis, but the way you helped us succeed in Crossing Tribulation is just too outrageous. You read our memories, then make us something to eat, and we wake up after eating it. Are you Feifei or the Heavenly Dao? Did you set the rules? How are you this overpowered? Are all male leads this overpowered?"

Qin Huai: …

"I really can't figure out how you can have a system. Is there actually such a thing as a system in this world? If you can have a system, can I have one too? You're a special spirit, I am as well, so why do you have a system and I don't? Am I not the male lead?"

Qin Huai directly covered Zhao Cheng'an's mouth, cutting him off in the most literal sense: "You're asking all these questions, but shouldn't you let me talk? Aren't we at the part where I explain it to you now? To explain why I have a system, I obviously need to start from what my obsession is. When you tell a story you start from the beginning, haven't you ever told one?"

Zhao Cheng'an: "Mmm, mm… mmm mmm mmm!"

"Everyone stop standing around, find a chair and sit down. I'll tell it all at once when Old Shi gets here. How long until Old Shi arrives?"

The moment the words left Qin Huai's mouth, Shi Dadan charged into the kitchen like a wild boar, flung his arms around Qin Huai, and almost knocked Qin Huai flat on the floor. Luckily, Shi Dadan was strong enough and held him up.

Shi Dadan burst into loud sobs.

"Xu Nuo, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to run you over and kill you."

"I've wanted to tell you for so long, but I didn't dare. I also didn't want to lie to you. I was afraid I couldn't keep my mouth shut and would slip up, and then you'd never succeed in Crossing Tribulation. I'm sorry, I'm too dumb. I can give you all of my inheritance."

Qin Huai: …

Qin Huai was quite helpless and comforted him: "Old Shi, you're not dumb at all. You're the best actor; you even fooled me."

Shi Dadan cried for a full two minutes, then only after he'd calmed down a little did he sit down. Qin Huai made him a few Fuling Cakes so he could eat something sweet and settle his emotions.

After making a few Fuling Cakes, Qin Huai felt this setting was perfect for him to make Fuling Cakes for everyone while telling them his own story, so he cooked as he talked.

"Before we Cross Tribulation, the seniors in our clan always warn us: don't be nosy, don't be too soft-hearted. Don't be like the Luan bird, seeing everyone as pitiful and wanting to help everyone. Helping people fulfill their wishes is fine, but only help those who have done us a favor, otherwise it's very easy to increase the difficulty of your own Crossing Tribulation."

"I remembered that."

"But I didn't expect the human world to be different from what I understood. I transformed into the appearance of an eight- or nine-year-old child, because kids that age are the least threatening. Under normal circumstances, even conscription wouldn't take children that young, and they still have a bit of strength so they're not too likely to die."

"But I didn't expect that, just as I was thinking about how to blend in with humans and learn the rules of the human world, I'd get dragged into a fight between beggars and, completely baffled, help Shi Tou throw a punch. Then he wanted to take me in as his little underling and drag me around begging for food, and just like that I became a beggar."

Hearing Qin Huai say this, An Youyou was a bit unhappy. When Qin Huai hadn't woken up yet, she had the basic respect for Qin Huai that one has for a Boss. After Qin Huai woke up, he was still the Boss, but An Youyou's respect dropped a lot.

"What's wrong with being a beggar? In those days, being a beggar was absolutely the best job in the world!" An Youyou spoke up on behalf of beggars.

Qin Huai: …

Qin Huai went on, briefly talking about his days begging with Shi Tou, and how he helped Shi Tou fulfill his wish of having parents. He talked about how he stubbornly followed Qin Wan, trailing her all the way from outside the border to Beiping, confessing his identity to Qin Wan, wanting to help Qin Wan fulfill her wish but Qin Wan refused to make one.

"Back then I actually didn't really understand why Mrs. Qin didn't want to make a wish. What a great opportunity. Human wishes are so simple for us. Whether it's wealth and glory or health and longevity, I could have helped her fulfill it. She made a wish but it wasn't from her heart."
