Chapter 87
After finishing her conversation with the system, Lin Zaozao's face immediately turned from gloomy to delighted. She quickly grabbed Dashan's hand and patted his arm, saying earnestly:
“Dashan is a good comrade. For the sake of our great shared ideal, please accompany me through thick and thin!”
“Yes, young mistress,” Dashan lowered his head and gave Lin Zaozao a silly smile.
Standing on the side, Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua heard the conversation between the mistress and servant. Seeing the smile on Ji Fantian’s face, Xiao Taohua couldn’t help laughing too.
One was a genius doctor and one was a notorious prince, but now they had both become the husbands of the same mistress, and had somehow managed to stay with her.
If someone familiar with them saw their current situation, they would probably think they were seeing ghosts.
“Come on, Fantian, Taohua, quickly come have breakfast. We still have work to do after eating.” after waving over Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua, Lin Zaozao pulled Dashan to sit at the table.
But Dashan had barely sat down when he immediately stood up again, standing behind Lin Zaozao like a little daughter-in-law.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Dashan, why are you standing there? Come over and eat!”
“I can’t. Young mistress, I'm your servant. A servant cannot eat with his master.”
“Nonsense! Dashan, you're my family, not my servant. Besides, in my crumbling manor, we shouldn’t stand on such formalities. Dashan, sit down and eat!”
After speaking, Lin Zaozao stretched out her hand and forcefully pulled Dashan into the seat next to her, and used her chopsticks to put some pork head meat in his bowl.
The rich taste of the meat was too tempting to resist, even for breakfast. After one bite, the flavor was so delicious Lin Zaozao felt she could swallow her own tongue.
Dashan's culinary skills were exceptional!
“Come on, Fantian, Taohua, try Dashan’s cooking skills. They practically defy belief.”
After putting pieces of pork head meat into Xiao Taohua and Ji Fantian's bowls, Lin Zaozao started feasting again. Seeing her wolfing down the food, the three men couldn't help worrying for her sake.
In just one morning, Lin Zaozao's figure had expanded by a large circle. If she kept getting fatter like this, the toxins in her body would soon erupt.
Seeing how much she was enjoying her meal, Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua didn't have the heart to interrupt her. But looking at her bulging stomach, they felt extremely apprehensive.
After finishing eating, Lin Zaozao touched her belly. Adding last night and today, she had gained almost 100 pounds.
Next, it was time for her to exchange 300 pounds of fat with the system for three level five detoxification pills. With level five pills, she would be able to help cure the plague afflicting people outside.
“Dashan, can you estimate my current weight?”
Lin Zaozao wiped her mouth and turned to Dashan to ask.
“I can. But young mistress, why do you ask?”
“Don't ask why, just estimate my weight now and tell me how heavy I am.”
Seeing Lin Zaozao's cheerful look, Dashan didn't understand her intention but obediently put down his chopsticks and stood up. With one hand, he picked up Lin Zaozao. Focusing intently, after a while he looked at her solemnly and said:
“Young mistress, your current weight is 382.9 pounds.”
After Lin Zaozao returned to the ground, she calculated roughly. 382.9 pounds minus 300 pounds left her weight within a normal range.
Although 82 pounds was too skinny for her height now, that was definitely not an issue. After all, losing weight wasn't easy for her, while gaining weight only took a few hearty meals.
For Lin Zaozao loved eating more than anything!
Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao immediately felt delighted, as if in the next moment she would transform into a stunning beauty with curves in all the right places.
【System, I want to exchange 300 pounds of fat for three level five detox pills.】
【Trade successful. Host, directly removing 300 pounds of fat from your body would kill you instantly.
For your health, I will first reduce 150 pounds of fat. Over the next month, you will automatically shed the remaining 150 pounds.】
【Why did you say it required 300 pounds then?】
【Host, this is the lightest penalty I could negotiate for you! Does the host still want to get angry with the system over this?】
【Fine, losing 150 pounds first is good too! I don’t want to die from shock either!】
【However host, due to your rapid weight loss, your body will enter a seven-day dormant period after a month.】
【Dormant period? I won't die will I!】
【No, host. You will just fall into a deep sleep. If you died, I the system would disappear too. 】
【Oh! From what you said, it seems our fates are intertwined?】
【The system values human life, the host values pig life. Humans and pigs cannot be connected.】
【Damned system, do you want me to curse you?!】
【Obese host, trade successful. Please receive your reward, fat host!】
Looking at the three white pills in her mind, Lin Zaozao was somewhat at a loss.
One pill could save 10,000 people, but how could she divide one pill into 10,000 parts?
【System, is there a way to divide the pills into 10,000 shares?】
【There is. The system can help the host freely divide one small pill into 10,000 parts. When the host wants to save people, just take out one share.】
【Thank you, system. I love you!】
【Get lost!】
【Very well!】
After discussing with the system, Lin Zaozao immediately cheered up.
Now the most important problem was also solved. Not only could she lose weight, but she also obtained three detox pills.
Lin Zaozao squeezed her own rapidly deflating big belly, feeling that her breathing had become much smoother and her body much lighter.
Good heavens! She had shed 150 pounds of fat in one go! Her body now felt so much more relaxed.
Although she was still chubby, her weight was no longer outrageous. What’s more, she would become slim after a month.
She wondered what kind of glamorous beauty she would transform into!
A buxom and charming beauty: Lin Zaozao would soon possess it!
As Lin Zaozao happily imagined this sitting in her chair, Xiao Taohua and Dashan next to her only looked shocked for a moment before their expressions returned to normal.
Feeling much lighter overall, even her clothes had extra room. Lin Zaozao grabbed Xiao Taohua who was sitting at the table and hugged his neck, nibbling at his face.
“Lin Zaozao, little fatty, there are still so many people outside! If you want to kiss, let’s go back to the room!”
“It’s fine, just let them watch! I’m kissing my own husband, not someone else’s. ”
After speaking, Lin Zaozao gave Xiao Taohua another fierce nibble.
Feeling the saliva on his face, Xiao Taohua glanced at the spectators outside the yard gate. He had never felt so embarrassed before.
After having her fill of nibbling Xiao Taohua, in the spirit of fair play Lin Zaozao pulled Ji Fantian over for a thorough gnaw, not stopping until his face was bright red. Only then was she satisfied releasing him.
“Zaozao, you lost weight?” Ji Fantian exclaimed.
“Yes! 150 pounds of fat! My gosh! After losing weight, I feel like I can finally breathe easy.”
Hearing Lin Zaozao’s voice, Ji Fantian’s hand clenched. Zaozao’s sudden weight gain and loss were clearly abnormal to anyone with eyes.
Zaozao could not be seen as a freak!
Now, he hoped Ye Yi's side could move faster, even faster, so Zaozao could obtain formal legal status to conceal her abnormalities.
“Dashan, have you all eaten?”
“We’re full!” the three answered in unison.
“Good. Since you’ve eaten your fill, it's time to get to work.”
Lin Zaozao waved her hand decisively, then turned and walked towards her own room. She first took out the expensive cloak that Ye Yi had given her and put it on. After that, she turned again and walked towards Ye Yi's room.
Just like last time, after Lin Zaozao took the ox headband from the wall in Ye Yi's room and put it on her head, she also conveniently grabbed the white tail hanging on the wall.
Feeling that her current outfit made her look like a shaman, Lin Zaozao then walked out the door with her head held high and chest out.
"Dashan, bring me a few buckets of water, and get me some cups too. I need them."
"Okay, young master."
"Xiao Taohua, come sit next to me and help me collect money. This great wizard is going to strike it rich today!"
"Alright." Xiao Taohua replied, puzzled.
"Ji Fantian, help me out."
"No problem." Ji Fantian said with a smile.
After Dashan brought the water over, Lin Zaozao began jumping around in front of everyone, performing her shaman dance.
"Plague, plague, you're the best. Riding a stool to the moon. You brag the most in the world. You drink from vats, not cups. You're quite creative at being bad. You live quite bravely. Hurting people isn't your intention. It's me throwing a fit. Now I'm going to deal with you!"
After Lin Zaozao recited her little rhyming spell and danced her shaman dance like a madwoman, jumping around in a way that looked like convulsions, under the strange stares of the crowd, she finally stopped, panting.
Damn, although she had lost a lot of weight, she still had about 220 pounds of fat on her body!
Jumping around as a shaman with 220 pounds of fat, it was really f**king tiring!
After Lin Zaozao caught her breath, she sat down on the chair Dashan had brought over for her, and started her charade of saving the people from flood and fire.
"Cough cough... Using my good fortune just now, I have borrowed divine medicine from heaven to help everyone get through this plague."
"Lin the Wizard, what good fortune?"
Someone in the crowd gingerly asked.
"Of course it's the fat on my body! Are you all blind? I just lost so much weight to borrow medicine from heaven. If I lose any more, I'll become dried meat. With my selfless dedication and sacrifice to help others, shouldn't you be thanking me?"
After saying this, Lin Zaozao glared at Xiao Taohua and Dashan, who were giggling on the side. As for Ji Fantian, his head was lowered so she couldn't see his expression.
"Thank you so much, Lin the Wizard!" "Thanks to Lin the Wizard for begging medicine from heaven!"
"Lin the Wizard, you really are a godsend!"
"......"
Hearing the waves of gratitude, Lin Zaozao graciously accepted it all.
She wasn't wrong in what she said! The life-saving medicine did come at the cost of fat from her body!
