The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

Li Shanze believed that Anton would not easily tell others that he was not the archbishop. Since Mr. Anton was a smart man, he naturally knew how to benefit from a false secret. It would not be good for him to expose the lie too quickly.

Seeing that Li Shanze was still furious, Anton raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, to make amends, I'll teach this beautiful lady a little trick."

Li Shanze and Xia Li looked at each other, and Xia Li gave the initiative to Li Shanze with her eyes.

"What little trick?" Li Shanze asked curiously.

"It's a little trick for a wizard to survive in the city. The bustling city is full of complex noises, deafening and maddening, especially for wizards with enhanced senses. It's really a painful experience." Anton pretended to look back with dismay, "Isn't it, beautiful lady?"

"Yeah." Charlie nodded repeatedly, seeming to agree. Even though she had only stayed in the glass palace for one night, all the messy noises made Charlie a little crazy.

Anton was very satisfied with Charlie's reaction. He continued to talk non-stop, "My spell is very simple. It can restore your five senses to normal sensitivity. Of course, the spell can be canceled when necessary."

"If an ordinary wizard doesn't master this spell and enters New York, where noise is everywhere 24 hours a day, he will probably just feel deafened and become deaf in a few days."

Li Shanze actually doesn't care much about the noise problem in New York. Although Li Shanze has never been to New York, he has been to Shanghai.

Li Shanze didn't even feel any noise in Shanghai.

In Li Shanze's opinion, how could the noise level in New York, with a population of 8 million, be any worse than that in Shanghai, with a population of 23 million? It was simply because the wizard's ears were too precious that he exaggerated the issue.

When Li Shanze really enters New York and deeply experiences what city noise is, he will know how powerful it is.

But Li Shanze naturally wouldn't pour cold water on it right now.

After all, Charlie was in high spirits.

The witch girl followed Anton with great interest and attentively learned the spell to close the five senses back to normal people.

Just a few minutes later, she smiled reservedly and bowed to Anton sincerely: "My ears are much quieter now. Thank you, Mr. Anton, for teaching me such a practical spell."

"Hahaha, no, no, Ms. Butner." Anton laughed heartily. "You are very talented, the most talented young wizard I have ever met. I am very happy to be able to teach such a smart student."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Anton suddenly seemed to think of something. He asked, "By the way, have you ever studied magic circles, Ms. Butner?"

"Well, I have learned it. What's the matter, Mr. Anton?"

"Ah, no, nothing, just asking." Anton smiled. "The architect of this Glass Palace doesn't seem to be very qualified. He built two extra walls."

After saying that, Anton raised his wrist and looked at the time. "It's getting late, and I'm going to leave now. When you come to New York someday, I'll definitely treat you to a meal at the best restaurant on Broadway."

Li Shanze raised his eyebrows: "You taught Xia Li that spell so that we could go to New York? But why should I go to New York?"

"Yes, you will come to New York. If you want to end things with your wife, you will definitely come to New York." Anton smiled, "Then, we'll see you in New York."

Anton waved and left without looking back.

So, that female devil Alessia is hiding in New York?

Li Shanze looked at Anton's back, wondering what this undead wizard was up to.

At this time, Xia Li came in front of Li Shanze, her eyes bright: "Li! Let's go to New York next!"

Looking at the bright eyes of the sweet and lovely witch, Li Shanze smiled and said, "Okay, after I complete my agreement with Kate Mackenzie and finish investigating the Good Buddy Herbicide Factory, we will leave for New York."

When Xia Li heard Li Shanze's words, she wrinkled her nose. It was obvious that she felt a little uncomfortable with the phrase "my agreement with Kate".

So she pouted.

"Is this the agreement between us?"

"This is an agreement between us."

Li Shanze smiled. He stretched out his index finger and scratched Xia Li's nose affectionately.

This time, Charlie finally stopped frowning and started giggling, looking very happy.

After Li Shanze picked out the hat and paid, the two walked out of the gift shop side by side.

"Li, you can't imagine how good I feel now that I can't hear all those messy noises anymore."

Charlie looked refreshed and in high spirits.

Looking at Xia Li's high spirits, Li Shanze also felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

But their good mood was soon broken.

"What do you mean we can't get through? I'm the FBI! FBI!" Li Shanze waved his ID and said dissatisfiedly, "We are family!"

"Of course I know you are from the FBI, sir, but you belong to Agent Kate McKenzie's team, which means you need to recuse yourself from this case. I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to let you pass." The FBI agent who stopped Li Shanze said with a frown.

067 Herbs

Li Shanze wanted to say something else, but Xia Li pulled his sleeve.

"Forget it, Li, don't make things difficult for him. He was ordered to stop you. Let's go collect herbs first." The witch lady said while winking at Li Shanze.

Li Shanze understood and gave in: "Okay, okay, let's go."

With the FBI ID in Li Shanze's hand, the two of them swaggered out of the Glass Palace. As a result, Xia Li actually took Li Shanze to the woods.

"This black birch bark is an excellent medicine for healing wounds. If Anjie drinks the potion made with it as the main ingredient, she'll be well again soon."

While collecting black birch bark with a knife, Xia Li enthusiastically shared her knowledge of herbal medicine with Li Shanze: "There is no shortage of black birch trees in the forests of Ohio and Pennsylvania."

Uh, no matter how miraculous this medicine is, can it really grow back a ruptured hymen?

Fortunately, Li Shanze resisted the urge to say something rude and didn't actually ask the question.

Li Shanze cleared his throat and asked seriously, "Ahem, what did you mean by winking at me just now, Xia Li?"

"Oh, Li, you're coughing again, you must have a cold!"

After digging out the black birch bark, Charlie squatted down and began to search carefully on the snow-covered ground.

"No, I don't have a cold..."

"Ah, got it! Here!"

Xia Li cheered happily, "This wild chrysanthemum that hasn't withered in the winter snow is particularly effective in treating colds."

"Uh, I don't have a cold, Charlie."

"Okay, you don't have a cold, you're just anxious to see the scene where Mr. Tim Cohen was murdered." Charlie dug out another mugwort root and cleaned it with a magic trick with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the mugwort roots disappeared out of thin air and were put into the moonlight bottle by Charlie.

"Come back to the room later and I'll boil some herbal medicine for you. Drink it and I'll help you." Xia Li clapped her hands and comforted Li Shanze with a smile.

Seeing Xia Li so excited, Li Shanze stopped trying to dampen her spirits. He also laughed and said, "Okay, it's settled then."

Li Shanze could see that the time spent collecting herbs was when Miss Witch was in the best mood in the past few days.

She enthusiastically introduced to Li Shanze the medicinal or witchcraft uses of every plant she could see, just like a child sharing her favorite toy with a friend.

Although Li Shanze knew nothing about plants and had no interest in them, it was different when he had a young and beautiful witch as his teacher.

Li Shanze not only listened carefully to Xia Li's explanation and thought attentively, but also asked some questions from time to time, which undoubtedly greatly satisfied Xia Li's desire to teach.

The newly graduated witch had never accepted any wizard apprentices. She became more and more excited as she talked, and it was not until dusk that she stopped talking with a sense of unfulfilled desire and returned to the Glass Palace with Li Shanze.

Xia Li and Li Shanze, who were in high spirits, did not notice the low pressure in the suite.

Gray sat on the sofa in a daze. She just greeted Li Shanze and Xia Li and continued to think about her own thoughts.

Angel simply lay in bed recuperating and did not come out - she still didn't know that this luxurious suite with many rooms was actually lent to Li Shanze by Guy.

"I'll go to the bar and help Anjie prepare the herbs first, then it's your turn." Xia Li said with a smile. At this moment, she glanced at Gray who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and then she took the initiative as a hostess and asked Li Shanze, "What about dinner?"

The Glass Palace was actually in a state of lockdown, so it was naturally impossible to call room service.

The ingredients on the bar in the suite were barely enough for making cocktails or simple vegetable salads, but it was too difficult to make a dinner that could feed four people.

"I'll figure out dinner." Li Shanze smiled and took out his FBI ID and waved it in front of Xia Li.

Although the chefs and waiters at the Glass Palace were also restricted in their movements, Li Shanze could move freely with his FBI credentials.

Even if the chefs are off work, borrowing the hotel's kitchen and ingredients to cook a meal yourself is another option.

So, Li Shanze left the suite. Xia Li also smiled and walked into the master bedroom with a bar. Gray looked at Xia Li's back, gritted her teeth, stood up, and followed Xia Li into the main room.

Gray just looked at Anjie lying on the bed and then at Charlie who was busy with her work, without saying a word.

Because of Gray's continued silence, Charlie, who was brewing herbs with a coffee pot, finally realized that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Miss Hamilton?" Charlie asked Grey Hamilton.

Gray shook her head, "No, nothing."

"Is Anjie okay?"

Why do you call her Anjie and me Hamilton? Is there something wrong between you two?

In fact, Anjie and Shirley were old friends, so it was only natural for them to call each other by their names.

However, Gray had just discovered the kiss mark on her lover's neck and was in a sensitive state of mind. This differential treatment immediately made her suspicious.

Especially considering Ange's disgust for men, Gray's suspicions ranged from Charlie to Kate, from the hotel waiters to the nuns in the church, but she never suspected Li Shanze.

"Angel slept all afternoon, so she's probably alright now. Call me Gray."

"Okay, Gray. Don't worry, I'm making some herbs for Anjie. She'll get better soon after drinking them."

Charlie stared at the coffee pot seriously, took out the long cocktail spoon from the bar, and stirred it carefully in the coffee pot.

In Grey's opinion, this combination was a little funny, but she couldn't laugh no matter what. Instead, she became more anxious.

"Oh, thank you."

Charlie noticed the worry between Gray's brows, and she thought that Gray was concerned about her lover Anjie.

"Haha, what are you thanking me for? Anjie and I are old friends."

Xia Li was still in a good mood, almost beaming. She had spent most of the afternoon alone, flirting with Li Shanze, and the strong, sour smell of love emanated from the witch.

She pointed at the hairpin holding her brown hair with interest. "Angel even taught me a lot of petty theft techniques!"

However, all this naturally changed the meaning in Gray's eyes.

Where does the sour smell of love that Shirley has for a girl come from? It comes from Anjie, of course!

Anjie even taught her the stealing skills that she used to make a living!

Is this a demonstration to me? Is it asking me to give up?

The lawyer was very sad.

At this moment, Anjie suddenly spoke up: "Excuse me, Gray, can I talk to Charlie alone for a few minutes?"

Talk, what? What's there to talk about? You're trying to get rid of me now, right? You can't wait to have a romantic encounter with your new love, right?

Gray suppressed the bitterness in her heart and kept her tone calm with the utmost composure. She even managed a smile: "Yeah, no problem."

After saying that, the lawyer turned around and left the bedroom.

After Gray left, Anjie smiled at Charlie and said, "Sorry, Charlie, I actually have a request."

"Uh, what's the request?"

"Actually, I've been hiding something from Gray recently, but I don't have the courage to confess to her... Do you have any herbs that can give people the courage to tell the truth?" Angel looked at Charlie and said seriously.

"Uh." Xia Li originally wanted to say that there was no such convenient herbal medicine, but she suddenly remembered Li Shanze's performance in the afternoon, so she swallowed the words back.

Charlie said hesitantly, "I did get this plant this afternoon, but I can't control the dosage yet. It has a side effect of hallucinations, which may make people do unexpected things..."

Although Anjie is a clean-handed person and never takes drugs, she has seen many people partying after taking LSD (a psychedelic drug).

Therefore, the bounty hunter lady did not take "hallucination" seriously.

"I'm going to confess to Gray after drinking the medicine anyway, so it doesn't matter if there are some side effects. Please help me put some of that herb in it, please, for the sake of our friendship over the years, okay?" Angel clasped her hands together, placed them on her chest, and pleaded with Charlie.

"Well, okay." Charlie thought about it and felt that what Anjie said made sense.

Anyway, Angel and Gray are lovers. As long as they love each other deeply, it doesn't matter if they are hallucinating.

So Anjie tore off a bit of Tupana vine, chopped it carefully with a knife, and poured the crumbs into the coffee pot.

As the cocktail spoon stirred, the potion began to bubble up.

"Remember, you can't drink it until you talk to Gray. Got it?"
