Chapter 1148: I think I Have Walked Into The Wrong Room...

Camilla looked around in the dark restaurant, and then crept toward the staircase.

She had already secretly observed the structure of the house on the second floor when she was changing her clothes that afternoon. There should be nothing hidden in the bathroom, and the room on the right was tightly shut with God-knows-what inside. She simply skipped over the room that held all sorts of toys.

There were still two rooms on the left. One of them should be Gina’s room, while the other was Mag’s.

This chap may have ulterior motives by keeping the mermaid in the shop with him. It’s good that I brought the Photostone along with me. I could record it down as evidence if they are having an affair. Camilla took out a white stone with a smug smile and then snuck up to the second floor.

“Creak.” Camilla opened the door of the study room on the right gently and dashed in. Her eyes were glowing gently in the dark, and she could see everything clearly.

The study wasn’t big. It had an entire wall covered with a bookshelf that was already half full of books of different genres. There was also a dark brown original wood desk that had two books and a tea set on it. There was nothing else in the room.

“Did this chap really have these many books?” Camilla mumbled doubtfully as her gaze swept across all the different books on the bookshelf. Then, she started to search the room. However, most of the stuff in the room was very visible, and there weren’t any cupboards, so she couldn’t find any Photostones.

“Just as I expected, that chap must have kept the Photostone in his bedroom and watched it secretly under his blanket at midnight. He is indeed a sleazy, stinky man!” Camilla said to herself through clenched teeth. She would cut him into pieces if he wasn’t such a great cook!

Camilla breathed in deeply to calm her emotions before moving to the bedroom slowly. Even though she was behind the wooden door, she could clearly sense the three sets of stable breathing in the room. They should all be sleeping.

She was a 9th-tier vampire. It was too easy for her to hide herself from a normal human and two little ones.

She placed her hand on the door knob, and then pulled the door outward silently…

Hmm?

Stunned, Camilla stared at the totally still wooden door. Why didn’t this door open?

Could it be locked from the inside? There was a hint of doubt in Camilla’s eyes. She pushed the handle down hard for another half a round, and then pulled it outward harder.

The door remained unmoved.

Camilla stared at the door knob for quite a while, and was sure that it wasn’t locked from the inside. But the strange thing was, no matter how hard she tugged, the door remained unmoved. Cold sweat began to appear on her forehead.

“What stupid door is this? It’s so hard to open. If I can’t open you today, I am not Camilla!” Camilla said to herself angrily. She warmed up her limbs for a moment before extending her hand to the handle again.

“Crack.”

Right at this moment, the inert door made a light sound, and then slowly opened inward.

Mag leaned against the door frame and yawned, wearing a sleeping robe. He rather helplessly said to Camilla, “This door opens inward.”

Camilla’s expression froze on her face as she stared at Mag standing at the door. Then, she looked at the wooden door that slowly opened inward, and felt that her intelligence was greatly insulted.

Furthermore!

Why was Mag standing here!?

Shouldn’t he be sound asleep on the bed after watching the Photostone?

“W-why are you still awake?!” Camilla simply asked subconsciously.

“If your door handle had been tortured by someone like this, even a pig would have woken up.” Mag glanced at the door handle. Fortunately, it wasn’t damaged. In fact, Mag was already notified by the System when Camilla first entered the restaurant, and also received real-time surveillance video at the same time. He couldn’t continue to watch any further when she almost broke the door handle stupidly. That was when he decided to leave his warm bed to open the door for her.

Mag stood up straight, and teasingly said, “Moreover, shouldn’t I be the one asking what you are doing here?”

Camilla panicked. In her plans, getting the Photostone quietly was foolproof. She had never considered that she would be caught on the spot because she would fail to open the door. Stunned, she stared at Mag for three seconds, and then started to back off as she said, “I think I have walked into the wrong room. It’s already very late, so you go and sleep now. You don’t have to bother about me.”

As soon as she finished talking, she disappeared from the stairway. Then, a series of bangs sounded downstairs before the sounds totally disappeared.

Seems like this woman wasn’t happy to be a service staff member at the restaurant. Mag pulled his clothes together before going downstairs to close and lock the windows in the back kitchen.

He indeed had one Photostone, but the System could make countless copies for him anytime. Hence, he didn’t really care whether Camilla did steal the Photostone or not.

He thought she would be content with being a chopper for a year, but she didn’t seem to be content at all right now. He should pay more attention to her in the future.

After returning to the room, Mag spread the blanket that Amy had kicked away over the two little ones again. Then, he went to his bed and continued his sleep.

…

Camilla transformed into a bat and flew out from the restaurant. She landed on the top of a huge tree in the forest outside of the restaurant and stared at Mamy Restaurant angrily.

Caesar jumped onto the tree, and expectantly asked Camilla, “Did you succeed, Madam?”

Camilla’s eyes twitched as she couldn’t recount such an embarrassing incident. Her expression became calm again as she took out a Photostone, and said, “Of course. It’s only a piece of cake for me. It’s only a stupid human.”

“Bravo, Madam!” Caesar’s eyes lit up, and he quickly happily said, “In this case, Madam won’t need to go and work in that restaurant as a service staff member again, since you are no longer threatened by him.”

“Ahem, ahem.” Camilla kept the Photostone with an unnatural expression and said, “Of course, I am not going to be threatened by a human. But I am not going to let him off like this, so I will continue to work undercover in his restaurant to gather evidence against him and pass it to Miss Gloria. She will give up on him, and then I will be able to win her heart.”

“Bravo, Madam!” Caesar said in awe.

Camilla laughed smugly with tense lips.

…

“I will have to provide breakfast for the cleaners from tomorrow onwards, so I have to learn how to cook congee with pork and century egg now.” Lying on the bed, Mag opened the door to the test field for the God of Cookery and stepped in.

Transforming a normal duck egg into a beautiful century egg was more of a chemical reaction than a culinary process.

Soak the pre-selected eggs in the pickling solution made up of alkali, salt, tea leaves, and mulberry ash for a few days. Then, remove them from the solution, and roll them in the dry mud powder before encasing them with rice chaff. A century egg is then considered successfully made.
