Accidentally Reincarnated in Cultivation World-Chapter 257: Happy Birthday Yu Lingluo [2]

After arriving near the black hole, Lingluo and Tririri prepared for dinner.

The poor Multi-pus was already half-dead, tentacles twitching feebly. But mercy was not part of the cosmic glutton’s vocabulary.

"Time for feast," Lingluo said, cracking her knuckles.

BAM! SMACK! THUD!

Together, the planet-eating girl and the slime king pounded the unfortunate Multi-pus into the void.

In the distance, stars shattered from the impact, the black hole hiccuped, and the universe itself wondered who it had offended to witness this nonsense.

When the dust or rather, cosmic plasma finally settled, the Multi-pus was done for.

All of its eyes now showed the X mark of doom.

Lingluo clapped her enormous hands.

"Perfectly tenderized."

Tririri jiggled approvingly.

"Prukkk."

Next came the culinary phase.

Lingluo and Tririri carefully tore off each of the Multi-pus’s long tentacles and tossed them into the nearby black hole.

The black hole screamed silently, its density increasing in protest as it was forced to cook intergalactic Multi-pus.

But as a black hole, it could only obey the will of absurdity.

Under its gravitational heat, the tentacles stretched, twisted, and elongated, until they became perfect noodles.

"Look at that texture!" Lingluo exclaimed proudly.

"Springy!"

The slime jiggled its head.

"Prukkk!"

Now came the hardest part: division.

Lingluo and Tririri faced each other across the steaming black hole.

"Alright," Lingluo said, crossing her arms like a fair judge.

"We’ll split evenly."

She handed one glowing noodle to Tririri.

"One for you."

Then she took one for herself.

"One for me."

Then she gave another to Tririri.

"Two for you."

Then two for herself.

"Two for me."

Tririri’s eyes narrowed.

"Three for you." Lingluo tossed another noodle the slime’s way.

"Three for me," she said cheerfully, taking three more and stacking them on her side.

By this point, the slime had three noodles. Lingluo had six.

"Prukkk! Prukkk!" the slime protested, its body rippling indignantly, something was definitely wrong.

"Don’t be impatient," Lingluo said with the tone of a seasoned scammer.

"Let’s eat our fill first. We can divide the rest later."

The slime reluctantly agreed.

Together, they heated the noodles over the black hole’s accretion disk, and began to eat.

Lingluo slurped loudly.

"Hmm. It’s a little slimy."

The slime paused mid-bite, because it felt that someone was eating it’s body, but as a slime without any equal between Heaven and Earth, it dismissed it as a dream (???) and continued eating.

After all, a true king never loses composure over a missing limb.

Outside the Dream...

In the real world.

Yu Xuan, Ming Tianmei, and a shorty stood near Lingluo’s bed, watching in silent disbelief.

Lingluo was fast asleep, smiling like an idiot, her hands moving as if she were pulling invisible noodles into her mouth, but she was pulling a slime.

Next to her mouth, a purple slime was now wobbling contentedly, apparently sharing her dream feast.

"She’s... eating Tririri," Yu Xuan said flatly.

Ming Tianmei blinked.

"And Tririri looks... fine with it?"

The slime burped softly in dream.

The two exchanged complex looks.

Behind them, standing with crossed arms and a thunderous expression, was the Chaos Heaven Peak Master. Her aura was suppressed, but her face was black as storm clouds.

Her lips twitched.

No one had bothered to tell her that today was her disciple’s birthday and if she didn’t present a suitably grand gift for their first celebration together, she would lose massive face within the sect’s upper circles when the topic would be recalled in the future.

Lingluo, meanwhile, smacked her lips in her sleep and murmured happily—

"Mmm... slimy but tasty..."

Yu Xuan stared at her, thinking hard about how to wake her up without disturbing her dream, or making sure she does not eat Tririri fully.

Just then, the Chaos Heaven Peak Master appeared silently beside Lingluo.

Without a word, she plucked the poor slime, Tririri, out of Lingluo’s mouth and, with a speed no one in the room could even perceive, stuffed a sweet bun into its place, one that she had "borrowed" straight from Yu Xuan’s hands.

In Lingluo’s dream, everything collapsed at once.

The black hole imploded, the heavens shattered, and an incomprehensible evil entity from beyond the Heavens force fed her a sweet bun.

Her massive form convulsed and her eyes snapped open.

The first thing she saw was her master’s scary face looming over her.

"Kyaaa!!!" she screamed like a startled cat, activating Cat Instincts in sheer panic as she vanished from the bed and reappeared in the corner of the room, wide eyed and puffing.

Blinking rapidly, she scanned the room, only to see Ming Tianmei, Yu Xuan, the shorty, and her master all looking her way.

Yu Xuan waved his hand cheerfully.

"Happy birthday, sister!"

"Happy birthday, Luo!" Ming Tianmei added with a smile.

"Happy birthday, Junior Sister!" chirped the shorty.

"H-Happy birthday, disciple..." the Chaos Heaven Peak Master said, trying her best to match their youthful energy, though her tone sounded more like a decree than a birthday greeting.

Lingluo froze, her mind catching up to what was happening.

A warm wave of emotion welled up in her chest.

She felt very happy.

In this world, birthdays were celebrated rarely — usually only the 10th, 100th, or 1,000th milestones were worth note.

But Yu Xuan, an Earthling in his past life, carried with him the mortal tradition of celebrating every single year, no matter how small.

Back in his past life, he’d spent each birthday surrounded by his grandparents and hybrid vegetables and fruits.

And after coming to this world, he’d kept that tradition alive, celebrating Lingluo’s birthday every year with their small circle.

Ming Tianmei had joined later, when she was studying under his mother.

So, within the Chaos Heaven Peak, a simple but heartfelt birthday celebration began, filled with laughter, sweets, and past.

Elsewhere, in the Elemental Heaven Peak, its master suddenly sneezed mid meditation. She frowned faintly.

"...Why do I feel like I’m being left out of something very important?"
