After kissing for another three minutes or so, Illustrious felt it was enough and immediately separated from Mona's cherry lips. A trail of intertwined saliva remained in the air, forming a bridge of bodily fluids between them.
Mona's face was flushed, and she pointed a trembling finger at Illustrious, saying, "Why did you kiss me again! Didn't I say I remembered everything?"
Illustrious smiled and said, "I'm sorry, wife! Because you finally remembered, I was so happy that I couldn't suppress my joy, so I couldn't help but give you another kiss."
"So it was because you were happy! Do you think I'd say that? Go to hell!" Mona flailed her arms and legs as she lunged at Illustrious.
Just as Mona was about to pounce on Illustrious, she suddenly closed her eyes and fainted into Illustrious's arms. Seeing Mona faint, Illustrious said anxiously to Barbara, "Barbara, why did she faint again!"
Barbara checked Mona's condition, turned her head, and said to Illustrious, "She fainted from a lack of qi and blood due to excessive blood loss. By the way, her gastrointestinal tract isn't very good either; she must be on a diet! That's why she usually eats too little and is a picky eater. Other than that, there are no problems. Don't worry! She'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"So that's how it is! Sigh! I told her not to go on a diet! Her figure looks great as it is! But she just wouldn't listen and insisted on dieting. No, I definitely can't let her keep being reckless today. I have to find a bunch of food to fill her up," Illustrious said with determination.
Illustrious gave Barbara a snowy white token engraved with the character 'Guang.' Then, she picked Mona up in a princess carry and bowed to Barbara, saying gratefully, "Thank you for saving my wife. If there is anything I can help with in the future, please use this token to call me. I can use this token as a coordinate to reach your side via a teleportation array. No matter what I'm doing, I will definitely come to help you as soon as possible."
"This... this is too precious, I can't accept it." To receive the help of a powerhouse who could repel Stormterror, this token was too valuable. Barbara tried to hand the token back to Illustrious.
"Just take the token I gave you! Well then, until we meet again, Barbara!" Illustrious refused to take back the token and vanished instantly from the spot, leaving behind clusters of ice flowers drifting in the air.
Watching Illustrious as she was about to vanish, Barbara wanted to call out to stop her, but found clusters of ice flowers falling around her. Catching an ice flower with her hand, Barbara murmured softly, "Until we meet again, Illustrious!"
...Illustrious, who had vanished from the cathedral, appeared directly in Wangshu Inn. She had set up an Ice Crystal Teleportation Array at Wangshu Inn, so she was able to teleport there in an instant.
"Landlady! Give me a guest room, and also prepare some food to be sent to my room," Illustrious said to the Landlady at the front desk.
"Alright, no problem, guest! This is your room number plate. Please wait a moment, the food will be delivered to you shortly. Also, please call me the Boss, not the Landlady. Since this is your first time here, I'll forgive your rudeness," the Boss corrected Illustrious.
"Alright, Landlady! Understood, Landlady! Then I'll wait patiently in my room for the food you've prepared, Landlady." Illustrious took the room number plate and walked toward her room.
Hearing Illustrious still call her Landlady, the Boss said to her very angrily, "I told you to call me the Boss. If there's a next time, I'll show you what for."
Her high heels tapped on the stairs as she headed toward the guest room floor of the inn. She counted the room numbers as she walked. Upon seeing a room number that matched her plate, Illustrious whispered, "It seems this is the room."
Illustrious pushed open the room door and then closed it. Seeing the guest bed in the room, she immediately walked over and gently laid the Mona she was holding down, covering her with a quilt.
Seeing Mona sleeping comfortably, Illustrious didn't want to disturb her and immediately sat down at the table in the room. She picked up the teapot with her left hand and a teacup with her right, then poured a cup of water into the cup and brought it to her cherry lips. "Ah! Good tea, it's so delicious!"
Before long, the room door was opened, and a waiter came over with a sumptuous meal. After placing the food on the table, the waiter bowed to Illustrious and said, "Well then, guest, here is the food you requested. Please enjoy. If you need anything else, just let me know; I'll be downstairs."
"Okay, no problem!" Illustrious nodded.
Hearing the reply, the waiter immediately left the room. Seeing the waiter leave, Illustrious picked up her chopsticks and looked at the food on the table, swallowing her saliva. "Speaking of which, I didn't even eat breakfast before flying to Mondstadt. I'm actually quite hungry now. Well then, I'll dig in."
Just as her chopsticks were about to reach for that brightly colored braised duck leg, she found that the duck leg had suddenly disappeared. Illustrious was enraged. "Am I seeing a ghost in broad daylight? How did a perfectly good duck leg disappear?"
Illustrious turned her head and found that the 'ghost' was none other than Mona. And she wasn't just an ordinary ghost, but a hungry ghost who had been starving for decades. Just look at that way of eating—wolfing it down as if there were no tomorrow, with her ladylike image completely gone!
"You woke up so fast! I thought you were going to sleep for a whole day! Er! Eat... eat slowly! I won't fight you for it. Heavens! Just how many days have you been starving!" Illustrious had beads of sweat on her forehead as she urged Mona to eat slowly.
After swallowing a piece of meat, Mona turned her head and said to Illustrious, "How... how many days? I've been eating every day! It's just two meals a day, and each meal is only one steamed bun and a plate of plain vegetables. This food is too delicious, and I haven't eaten meat in a long time. My eating manners are indeed a bit unsightly, so don't keep staring at me. I'm a girl too, and I get shy."
Watching Mona stuff food into her stomach bite after bite, Illustrious couldn't help but be speechless. Isn't she afraid of getting fat like this?
Illustrious picked up her chopsticks and reached for a plate of lobster, only to find Mona had snatched it first. Helplessly, she reached for a plate of braised ribs, but found Mona had taken those too. With a sigh, she reached for a plate of plain vegetables, but in the end, Mona took those as well.
Seeing the food being taken and eaten bit by bit, Illustrious simply put down her chopsticks. Fine! No need to eat; let Mona have it all! Missing one meal won't kill her; she'll just treat it as dieting!
After finishing all the food on the table, Mona patted her stomach, a grain of rice still stuck to her mouth. With a face full of happiness, she said, "Ah! That felt great! I'm so full today! It's been a long time since I've had such a sumptuous meal. To be able to eat such delicious delicacies, it's truly wonderful to be alive."
"Since you're eating so happily, Mona, then the matter of me forcibly kissing you is wiped clean!" Illustrious smiled and said to Mona.
