Cw: depiction of gory death
'Damn this shortie!'
Nian gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly when he could not slap the plate out of Jin Jiuchi's hand in time. Previously, this small body had been nothing but convenient to him and that's why he had always preferred to enter the Cycle under this guise. But who could have guessed that he would finally run into a wall after meeting Jin Jiuchi?
"Are you crazy?!" He seethed. "How dare you put that repulsive thing into your mouth!"
Jin Jiuchi gasped in such terror as if the jade doll had murdered his entire family. "'Repulsive thing'? Bad Nian'er! How could you…" a sputter of disbelieving laugh escaped his lips and in that split second, Nian caught a glimpse of the red bloody meat inside his mouth. Ew. "How could you say it like that? This is food… precious and delicious food! The audacity you have to badmouth about it in front of the owner itself!"
