Chapter 107: A Better Woman Than Me
"Do you want my porridge?" I asked, holding up the bowl without seeing who was standing over my shoulder. He had interrupted my conversation with Gluttony, and for that reason alone, he deserved to eat whatever crap this was.
"You’ll need it," murmured the man, coming to sit beside me. "You can’t afford to stave yourself here," he continued, resting both hands on the table in front of him.
Did he really think that was a way to earn my trust? To show that he wasn’t a threat?
"It doesn’t matter to me," I shrugged. The cook, Zhu Gen, didn’t even give us any utensils or hot sauce to eat this crap, so there was no way I was touching it. "I can’t eat without hot sauce."
It was a staple in O City, more so than ketchup and right after the holy trinity. However, I wasn’t sure if even an entire bottle of the stuff would bring life back to this thing.
"I hear you beat my record for the fastest death," the man continued, his voice a low chuckle meant to be inviting. I, on the other hand, would take Lust any day over this man. "You need to be more careful."
"And why is that?" I asked, cocking my head to the side, my smile still fixed on my face.
"Because if you are too good, then you are going to have to meet me in the pit, and you won’t like that at all," shrugged the man like he was hot shit. "I’m Yin Jie," he continued, holding out his hand.
"Luci," I replied, not bothering to take the offered limb. I was more likely to rip it off than anything else.
