Chapter 291

Mina looked at the food wrappers strewn all over the floor, then at Bryan's belly, which was full from eating, "Brother, did you eat all this stuff?" Bryan scratched the back of his head awkwardly, grinning, "I was just too hungry and couldn't control myself, so I ate a little more than I should." Mina dragged Jane off to one side and whispered, "Jane, are you sure the doctor said brother's body is okay? Normal people wouldn't eat like this unless they've been starved and crossed the Sahara Desert!" "Sis, don't worry. Dylan said that brother is just growing and under too much pressure, causing him to overeat. A visit to a psychologist would do," Jane whispered into Mina's ear. Mina shot a look at Bryan, almost failing to hold her laughter. She whispered back to Jane, "Considering his persona, it's hilarious that he would feel stressed at all." Jane gave her sister a sympathetic glance, sighing like a seasoned scholar, swaying her head with her little hands behind her back. Stepping on her toes, she patted Mina's shoulder, "Sis, it seems like it's not just Bryan who's feeling pressured, but you as well!" "Why?" "Brother Lucas has prepared two large suitcases full of various books to give to you and Bryan as gifts. Moreover, brother Harold is planning to enroll you in a math competition, and he intends to personally train you!" Mina stumbled, barely staying upright. Quickly, she held onto Jane's shoulder, drew a deep breath, and gave Bryan a sympathetic glance. With a sorrowful face, she patted Jane's shoulder, "Jane, I think I need to go find some food too." After Mina left, Jane turned her gaze towards Bryan's back, where a massive shadow loomed so large it almost engulfed Bryan entirely. In the eyes of the Shadow, the green glow has already dimmed. Blackie once said, the brighter the eyes of a Gluttonous Ghost, the stronger its desire to eat, the more it can control Bryan to keep eating. Jane went to fetch some digestion tablets and gave them to Bryan. Sitting on the ground, massaging his stomach, Bryan questioned Jane somewhat doubtfully, "Sis, do you think I should get a check-up? I think my problem might not be with my stomach, but my brain. Why don’t I feel full at all when I eat?" Jane originally wanted to comfort Bryan, but on second thought, it would be better to solve the problem straightaway. She casually picked up a pen and put it in front of Bryan. In her soft, mellow voice, she said, "Brother, look at this pen." "Oh, Jane, are you saying that I as thin as this pen now, so no matter how much I eat, it wouldn't matter, right?" Bryan interpreted solemnly, while staring at the pen. Jane didn't answer him; instead, she waved the pen in front of him, "Brother, you're sleepy and want to sleep now..." Accompanied by her sweet, mellow voice, Bryan's eyelids grew heavier and heavier... soon, he fell fast asleep. Jane quickly went back to her room to find Blackie. "Blackie, can we catch the Gluttonous Ghost now?" Jane asked with an unusually serious face. Blackie murmured in his sleep, "Gluttonous Ghost... hmm, delicious..." Jane: "......" If she had known that Blackie would be so influenced by the smell of catnip, she wouldn't have brought him any. But now, with the current situation... Without a moment's hesitation, Jane brought over the pot of catmint, and placed it right in front of Blackie! The pungent smell promptly invaded Blackie's nose. "Achoo!" Blackie let out a huge sneeze. He rolls over on the spot, then stands up and shakes the fur on his body, "Little crybaby, what were you prattling on about a gluttonous spirit? Where is this gluttonous spirit? Watch as this cat here deals with it!" "It’s in big brother's room. I've already hypnotized big brother, I'm going to carry you there now!" Jane said, reaching out to pick up Blackie. Blackie slaps her little hand away with one paw, raising his cat head high, "No need, am I, a cat, an entity that can easily be touched by you foolish humans?" Having said that, he leapt off the table and started strutting, in a tsundere-like manner, towards Bryan's room. Jane hurriedly used her short legs to keep up with him. "Hey, gluttonous spirit, where do you think you’re going?” Jane had just reached Bryan's room when she heard a roar from Blackie. She hesitated for a moment. Hadn’t Blackie said that the gluttonous spirit was now very formidable, and should be dealt with caution? Why then, was he being so aggressive now? "Meowww—" Just as she stepped into the room, she heard a dismal cat cry, and a pure black cat shadow came flying toward her. She hurriedly reached out to catch it. The massive inertia sent her plump bottom right onto the ground. "Scram, just a low-level psychic cat, you dare to strut before me!" The Gluttonous Spirit's voice pierced through her eardrums! Originally feeling a bit high from the catnip, Blackie sobered up instantly. He leaped down from Jane and took up an offensive stance against the Gluttonous Spirit, his fur bristling all over. "What on earth are you? I'll seal you right now!" Like lightning, he sprung a few leaps, lunged towards the Gluttonous Spirit, and bit down hard on it. "Ah-----" The Gluttonous Spirit struggled fiercely with a scream, seemingly about to shake off Blackie. In desperation, Jane fiercely pounced on it, her tiny hands clasping tightly onto the Gluttonous Spirit, "Blackie, are you really going to seal it in your bracelet?" Blackie looked at Jane in shock, she could actually touch the Gluttonous Spirit! No wonder this little crybaby would become Daisy’s mission target! The Gluttonous Spirit also seemed somewhat unbelieving. The girl from Wallace's family, who previously couldn't even see it, could now actually grasped it! "Roar-" The Gluttonous Spirit went berserk, its black energy radiating outward, a large hand swung towards Jane. Jane's bright eyes were chillingly stern, as she brandished a peach wood sword towards the Gluttonous Ghost. But... The peach wood sword passed through the Gluttonous Ghost's body without causing any harm-- This attack, instead, made the Gluttonous Ghost even more berserk! A pair of eyes exploded into a green light. As it swung its palm towards Bryan's head, Jane hastily clung onto Bryan's head and used her small body to shield Bryan, taking the brunt of the strike! Now in a panic, Blackie yelled, "Little Cry Baby, throw away that rubbish you're holding and grab it, stuff it into my bracelet!"
