However, for Lin Bei, five or six days was still too short.

He doesn't have that much time; let alone five or six days, he doesn't even have three or four days.

He only has two days at most.

This was not because he was impatient for quick success.

It was because he understood Muzan very well.

It was a cowardly yet vengeful monster.

Although Lin Bei killed Muzan's spiritual entity in the mental space, he prevented the information about the Blue Spider Lily and Nezuko from reaching Muzan.

However, Muzan already knew Lin Bei's face, in addition to the spiritual body that Lin Bei had devoured.

Muzan will definitely not let him go.

Even a brutal manhunt is already on its way.

He had to truly master the breathing technique within two days.

Only in this way can they have enough power to deal with Muzan's pursuit.

There is only one way for him to grasp the breathing technique in just two days.

That is killing ghosts.

Only by killing the ghost and refining it can Lin Bei obtain enough yang energy in two days.

Furthermore, judging from the yang energy obtained from killing and refining the Eye-Ear Demon.

Lin Bei needs to kill at least two more evil spirits within two more days.

Only then can the deficiency of Yang energy be replenished.

So even though Lin Bei still longed for the gentle embrace of the house, he got up, dressed, and prepared to go to the Rose House again.

But before that, Lin Bei needed to fill his stomach first.

After all, he hasn't eaten a single meal since the day before yesterday.

Although his undead constitution gave him an amazing ability to endure hunger.

But he couldn't resist the effects of his excessive exercise last night, and now his stomach was growling loudly with hunger.

If they don't eat soon, they might start to rebel.

So Lin Bei carefully covered Mrs. Rose's body, which was shining white in the sunlight, with a thin sheet, and then went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Shortly after Lin Bei left, Madam Rose groggily turned over.

In her sleep, her lips parted slightly, as if she were muttering in her sleep, or perhaps talking in her sleep.

"Please spare me!"

"I can't go on anymore!"

"I...don't want it anymore."

"..."

Her brows didn't furrow; she seemed to be still dreaming of last night's conquest.

Then her arms, as tender as lotus roots, began to grope around on the bed beside her, searching for some culprit.

However, after searching for a while, he found nothing.

Then Lady Rose suddenly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a messy room.

However, at this moment her eyes were not looking anywhere else, but staring intently at the bed beside her.

It was empty there, as if last night's madness was just a dream.

But the traces of her frenzy and the aching, weak body told her that everything last night was not a dream.

But what if it's not a dream?

Even after a crazy night, even after being so passionate last night, that person still left her silently while she was asleep.

Not a single word was spoken.

There was not a trace of lingering attachment.

Suddenly, Lady Rose burst into tears.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the sheets, leaving tear stains.

She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and was very scared.

It hurt just like that autumn night twenty years ago, and I was just as scared.

She thought she had finally found someone she could entrust and rely on.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

All the expectations and efforts were like a dream.

As dawn broke, the dream ended.

But she still had nothing.

This feeling of gaining and then losing something caused her unforgettable heartache.

It made her already dark world even darker.

Lady Rose suddenly felt very tired.

She lived for twenty years, burdened by her family's hopes and hatred.

But now she suddenly feels like she doesn't want to memorize it anymore.

She didn't want to keep going day after day for that vague possibility anymore.

She wanted to rest; she wanted to go to another world to find her family.

Perhaps wherever she goes, she can return to the carefree state she was twenty years ago.

Slowly, her hand reached for the jewelry box on the bedside table.

He took out a hairpin and slowly pierced the tip of the hairpin into the blood vessel on his neck.

Just as the hairpin was about to pierce through, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly pulled Lady Rose back from her extreme state of self-destruction.

"Oh, it's so hot!"

With a series of hurried footsteps, Lin Bei pushed open the door and entered, carrying a stack of small steamers, and placed them on the table.

Then he turned his head and saw Lady Rose holding a hairpin, her face streaked with tears.

"what!"

"I'm crying from hunger!"

"It can't be that bad...it can't be that bad!"

"What are you doing with that hairpin? It won't fill your stomach."

"I got up and then I was busy with all sorts of things."

"Look, the steaming hot xiaolongbao have just come out of the oven."

"You're in luck! No one else has ever seen me do this before!"

As he spoke, he walked to the bedside, casually took the hairpin from Lady Rose's hand, and wiped away the tear stains on her face with his finger.

Let's go!

"Eat it while it's hot!"

Suddenly, Lady Rose hugged Lin Bei tightly.

"I……"

"I...I thought..."

"You don't want me anymore!"

Hearing the choked sobs in his ear, Lin Bei pulled Madam Rose into his arms and gently patted her back.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

"I'm here, aren't I!"

"I'm not a flower thief who picks flowers and runs away."

Hearing Lin Bei's words, she broke free from his embrace.

He lightly punched Lin Bei in the chest.

"You're not a flower thief, but you're a heart thief."

"The thief who stole my heart."

Seeing Mrs. Rose's tears turn into laughter, Lin Bei pretended to be helpless.

"Okay, okay!"

"I'm the heart thief, aren't I!"

"Go report me to the authorities later."

"Say I stole your heart."

"But before that, you need to fill your stomach."

"Otherwise, this mountain path will be difficult to walk on!"

Seeing Lin Bei's feigned seriousness, Mrs. Rose felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Lin Bei definitely knew what was about to happen.

But he didn't ask.

Just treat her gently.

Let her know that someone still cares about and dotes on her.

This is enough.

So she nodded emphatically.

"kindness!"

"Have a meal!"

As she spoke, she was about to get up and get out of bed.

She had just gotten out of bed when her legs suddenly went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Lin Bei was nearby and caught her in time.

Are you alright?

Seeing Lin Bei's innocent expression, Madam Rose glared at him.

"It's all your fault!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bei recalled the madness of the previous night.

But he was thick-skinned and not only didn't feel embarrassed at all, he even puffed out his chest.

"Ha ha……"

"Isn't that because I'm amazing!"

"Besides, I'm not the one who's been saying 'I want it' all along."

Upon hearing this, Lady Rose was stunned, and then her face turned as red as if she had applied rouge.

She hadn't expected Lin Bei to be so blunt.

She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up, and let Lin Bei carry her to the table.
