Marisa gulped down a bucket of milk. As her belly slowly expanded, her face gradually regained its color, and finally she collapsed to the ground.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around blankly.

"Where is this place? Why are you here?"

"If we weren't here, you would probably have to hang there for another day and night."

Bai An rubbed his forehead, his tone helpless.

Hearing this, Marisa finally realized what was happening. Her memories began to resurface, and she scratched her head in embarrassment.

"I accidentally ate some strange mushrooms. After eating them, I couldn't remember anything. When I woke up, I saw you two."

As she spoke, she took out a small bag from her bloomers. In the bag were a dozen mushrooms that looked freshly picked.

"Here, this is it. It tastes good, but it makes me feel dizzy after eating it."

Under the subtle gazes of Bai An and Alice, Marisa took out one of the colorful mushrooms.

"Of all the mushrooms, Marisa, why did you choose the one that least looked like it was non-toxic?"

Alice couldn't help but complain.

"Because this is the most beautiful color, and it might have a unique flavor. How can you know it's inedible if you don't try it?"

Marisa retorted as a matter of course, then picked out some mushrooms and handed them to Bai An.

"I've tried them all. So far, these are the mushrooms that taste the best in this forest."

Chapter 81 Alice: Mother Wants to See You

"I want to build a restaurant. Since you are here, come and help me and Alice."

Bai An unceremoniously invited Marisala to join the team. After all, this was his own dog and he would feel comfortable using it.

"But I was planning to borrow something from Patchouli today."

Marisa said after a moment's hesitation, her face falling.

Bai An's eyelids twitched. Is this called borrowing? It is obvious that he is going to go back to his job as a black and white thief.

He sighed and said:

"After I'm done with this, not only will I let you be the first to taste the new dishes, I'll also use these mushrooms to make a mushroom feast for you, Marisa."

"Really?" Marisa's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise.

"Ah."

Hearing Bai An's assurance, Marisa almost jumped up with joy. These are the three greatest joys in life.

Borrowing things, eating mushrooms, and eating the food made by Bai An.

Now I have collected both items, which is double happiness.

...

After Marisa joined, the construction work was sped up a bit. Bai An and Alice built, while Marisa handed tools or moved materials on the side.

The three people each performed their duties, and soon the restaurant was completed.

As Bai An inserted the sign with the word "restaurant" into the ground, everything was done.

As agreed, Bai An prepared dinner for the two of them, as well as a mushroom feast for Marisa.

But when Alice saw the plate of mushrooms, her expression changed instantly and her eyes became strange.

"Is it really okay to eat this?"

She pointed at the colorful mushrooms on the plate that poisoned Marisa, and her meaning was clear.

"Don't worry, I've specially cleaned up the toxins."

Bai An explained.

While Alice was hesitating, Marisa was already chewing on the mushrooms, not fearing poisoning at all, and she would let out a sigh of admiration from time to time.

It is understandable. After all, they dared to eat it even when it was poisonous. Now it is most likely non-toxic, so it is naturally difficult to escape from its clutches.

Alice shook her head, picked up the mushrooms with her chopsticks and started eating.

Bai An also picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of mushroom and put it into his mouth.

Although the mushroom looks dazzling and obviously poisonous, it is extremely smooth and tastes great when eaten.

All I can say is that this is a mushroom masterpiece worthy of Marisa’s thousands of poisoning experiments.

Next time, I have to give Marisa the title of Mushroom Master. She is definitely the contemporary Flame Emperor.

After eating for a while, Bai An looked at the time, returned to the kitchen and brought out three plates of fried tofu.

"Is this... fried tofu?"

Alice wondered.

"Yes, this is the first special dish sold in my store, Heavenly Deep-fried Tofu. But a warm reminder, this must be eaten with the peach juice in the set meal."

Bai An introduced with a smile, then pushed the plates in front of Marisa and Alice respectively.

"Want peach juice with it?"

Alice blinked, somewhat confused.

Just when she was about to take a bite, Marisa beside her suddenly stood up, covering her mouth with tears in her eyes. Most of the fried tofu that belonged to her had disappeared, but the peach juice was still intact.

The next moment, in front of Alice's shocked gaze, he performed a wave of fire dragon breath.

“That’s why I recommend serving it with peach juice.”

Bai An shrugged helplessly, then took out a healing potion from the side and handed it to Marisa, who hurriedly took it and gulped it down.

“Almost, almost shot to death.”

After a while, Marisa finally came to her senses, and her usually energetic face was now filled with fear.

Alice silently withdrew her gaze and looked at the fried tofu on the table. She first drank half a cup of peach juice, hesitated for a moment, and decided to take a bite.

Fortunately, after eating half a bowl, she didn't feel anything abnormal and didn't spit out flames like Marisa.

On the contrary, I felt as if there was a little sun deep inside my body, and it was warm.

Seeing this, Alisa relaxed and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

Unlike Marisa's voracious eating, she ate elegantly, though not slowly.

Marisa spent half an hour eating dinner before she reluctantly put down her chopsticks.

"Wow - I'm so full!" She stroked her round belly contentedly, her cheeks flushed and her face full of happiness.

After Alice put down her chopsticks, she wiped her lips with a tissue and then looked up at Bai An.

"What's wrong?"

Bai An noticed her gaze and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Um...Brother Bai An, can I ask you a favor?"

Alice hesitated for a moment, then mustered up her courage and asked seriously.

"Hmm? You said, I will do my best as long as it is within my ability."

When Bai An heard that Alice wanted to help him with something, he immediately patted his chest and agreed.

"Mother, she said she wanted to see you."

The moment the words fell, the air seemed to stop and the surroundings fell into silence.

After a long while, Bai An coughed dryly:

"Um, Alice, can I ask, is there something your mother wants to talk to me about?"

"I don't know either..."

Alice shook her head in distress. If her mother hadn't repeatedly requested her to do so and even threatened to cry and make a scene, she wouldn't have been willing to trouble Bai An.

As the two talked about this, Marisa beside them also reacted. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide and looked at the two of them with a dull expression.

"Is this the legendary meeting with the mother-in-law?"

Marisa stared at her with eyes wide open, three parts shock and seven parts gossip.

"Are you going to meet the parents and then prepare for marriage?"

"Marisa, what nonsense are you talking about! How could this happen?" Alice's face turned red and she quickly scolded him.

"But that's what's written in the comics..." Marisa muttered.

"That's just a comic book. Sister Youxiang and my mother are friends, and Brother Bai An is Sister Youxiang's boyfriend!"

Alice was filled with shame and anger, and she wanted to pry open Marisa's head to see what strange things were inside.

"That's true." Marisa scratched her head and nodded in realization.

Seeing that Marisa stopped talking nonsense, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Bai An:

"Brother Bai An, so you want to go meet my mother? It's okay if you mind. I can refuse her."

Bai An hesitated for a long time and asked tentatively:

"Excuse me, but you don't have a fiancé or a blind date that your mother recommended for you, right?"

"No." Alice didn't understand, but still shook her head.

With my mother's temper, if she knew who was pursuing her, let alone her fiancé, she would probably rush over to the door and beat the person so hard that he or she would be unable to take care of himself.

"That's fine, I agree."

Bai An smiled, then nodded, agreeing to Alice's request.

As long as it's not a forced marriage and he's dragged into it as a shield, this kind of bloody plot is fine.

Chapter 82: The God of Dumb Hair - Shen Qi

The next day.

In the early morning, Bai An looked at the silver-haired and silly loli at the head of the bed with a confused look on his face.

"Are you Bai An?"

Bai An rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled or just sleepy.

"Mother, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to disturb Bai Ange?"

With hurried footsteps, Alice rushed in and hugged the silly-haired loli at the head of the bed.

"Wow, I don't want that. I want to see which bastard kidnapped my little Ai!"

The silly little girl desperately grabbed the bed board and refused to leave. She also kept shouting in grief and anger, which made Alice so anxious that she jumped to her feet.

Seeing this, Bai An finally understood what was going on.

Although it was a little hard to believe, the Aho-Mao in front of him seemed to be Alice's mother.

"Mother, if you continue to be so willful, I will ignore you from now on!"

Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Alice simply used her trump card.

This method is very effective. After hearing it, Shenqi immediately shrank back, chose to compromise, and left the room feeling aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, Brother Bai An, for causing you trouble. We'll wait for you outside."

Alice tried her best to control her gaze and not look in Bai An's direction, and whispered apologetically.

Not until the room returned to calm again did Bai An sit up from the bed and touch his still somewhat stiff face.

After letting his brain work again for a while, Bai An changed his clothes and walked downstairs.

As soon as I went down to the living room, an angry look was cast at me.

Shenqi's eyes were wide open, her lips were pouted, and she looked fierce but didn't say anything, obviously having been warned by Alice.

Even so, Bai An still felt a little embarrassed, being stared at by a guy who looked about the same age as Remi. He wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Fortunately, this predicament did not last too long. Alice noticed her mother's look and said in dissatisfaction:

"Mother!"

When she called out to her, Shen Qi immediately looked back at her with grievance, then turned her head and glared at Bai An with a hint of hostility in her eyes, as if Bai An had snatched her daughter away.
