Zhuge Lan rubbed his head, looking wronged, and mumbled, "Hmph, next time I'll definitely stay far away from you. Miss Bai's hand strength is too great. That hit of yours almost made my head burst open."
Zhuge Lan's face was full of dissatisfaction, yet with a touch of humor that made people laugh.
Bai Chenxiang rolled her eyes at him, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and said with a hint of playful blame, "Who told you not to learn your lesson and always be so unruly? If you keep being so mischievous, next time it won't be as simple as just a flick to the head."
Although her words were strict, her eyes revealed her concern for Zhuge Lan.
Ahri Meimei, blushing, softly said, "It's okay, I've already forgiven Big Brother Zhuge Lan! It's not easy for everyone to come out for a meal. Isn't it better to just enjoy this meal?"
Her voice was gentle and delicate, like a breeze caressing the heart, making one feel incredibly comfortable.
Her beautiful face was flushed with shyness, appearing exceptionally captivating.
"See, Ahri Meimei is so sensible."
Zhuge Lan said, feeling wronged.
Sha Zhuge looked at them, shaking his head slightly, but his mind was on the finals.
"Congratulations to you all, for successfully defeating the powerful Thunder Ray Crimson Tiger."
Zhuge Lan smiled and said to Sha Zhuge.
He wanted to see what kind of expression this disguised Tang San would use to speak with him.
After all, in the past, when facing him, Zhuge Lan, in his original form, Tang San would be scared witless.
"We were just lucky."
Ahri Meimei was the first to answer.
Because she knew that Sha Zhuge had an exceptionally strong hatred for Zhuge Lan, she was afraid he would say something out of line, so she quickly answered.
"What do you want?"
Sha Zhuge looked up and saw that it was Zhuge Lan, a wary expression appearing on his face.
Zhuge Lan looked at Sha Zhuge and said, "Nothing much, I'm just curious how you guys managed to win. You're so impressive. I heard that Thunder Ray Crimson Tiger is very fierce."
"Is that so? If you want to know, then come outside with me, and I'll tell you slowly."
After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the garden outside the restaurant.
Oh? This piqued Zhuge Lan's curiosity, and he wanted to see what tricks he was up to.
"Alright."
Then Zhuge Lan also prepared to get up, but he was stopped by Ahri Meimei.
Ahri Meimei grabbed Zhuge Lan's hand and said nervously, "Big Brother Zhuge Lan, don't go."
Zhuge Lan asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is he going to eat me or something?"
Ahri Meimei frowned and explained, "Big Brother Zhuge Lan, have you forgotten? Sha Zhuge has always had deep animosity towards you. Now that he suddenly called you out, he definitely has ill intentions."
Ahri Meimei's eyes were full of worry.
Zhuge Lan, however, smiled nonchalantly, "Ahri Meimei, don't worry, I want to see what tricks he can pull. Besides, I, Zhuge Lan, am not to be trifled with."
After speaking, he gently patted Ahri Meimei's shoulder, signaling her to relax.
Then Bai Chenxiang also said, "I also feel that Sha Zhuge's attitude towards you is not right, but I do hope you go and find out the exact reason."
Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Ahri Meimei could only reluctantly let go of his hand.
Zhuge Lan strode quickly after Sha Zhuge towards the garden outside the restaurant.
In the garden, the decorative lights filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting beautiful patterns of light and shadow.
Sha Zhuge stood with his back to Zhuge Lan, silent.
Zhuge Lan was the first to break the silence, "Speak, why did you call me here?"
Sha Zhuge slowly turned around, a chilling glint in his eyes, "Zhuge Lan, do you think you can always be so arrogant?"
Zhuge Lan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? How am I arrogant? I'm just curious how you defeated the Thunder Ray Crimson Tiger."
Sha Zhuge snorted coldly, "Stop pretending, you know very well."
As he spoke, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Sha Zhuge, and the surrounding flowers and plants were blown askew by this aura.
Seeing this, Zhuge Lan also became vigilant.
He did indeed know very well, but he knew more than just how they defeated the Thunder Ray Crimson Tiger.
He also knew Sha Zhuge's true identity.
However, he still pretended to be nervous and said, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do? This is not a place for fighting."
Tang San was suddenly overcome with rage, and the hatred in his heart could not help but burst forth.
He prepared to attack Zhuge Lan.
Just then, Bai Chenxiang and Ahri Meimei also arrived in the garden.
Ahri Meimei, seeing the scene before her, shouted loudly, "What are you two doing? Stop it!"
Ahri Meimei's cry brought a sliver of rationality back to the enraged Sha Zhuge.
Calming down, Sha Zhuge retracted his aura.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I will make you pay for what you have done!"
After speaking, he turned and left the garden, walking towards the outside of the restaurant.
Bai Chenxiang and Ahri Meimei came to Zhuge Lan's side and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Zhuge Lan laughed heartily, then suddenly lowered his voice and, with his deep and seductive tone, gently said to Bai Chenxiang, "How could I be alright when I have you, my darling."
Then he leaned his head close to Bai Chenxiang and kissed her cheek.
Bai Chenxiang's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she playfully glared at Zhuge Lan, yet could not hide the shyness and joy in her eyes.
Ahri Meimei looked at their interaction, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and a warmth surged in her heart.
"Oh, stop being so lovey-dovey here, you two."
Ahri Meimei said with a light chuckle, "I was really scared just now, thankfully we arrived in time."
Zhuge Lan straightened up, his face still adorned with that devil-may-care smile, "Don't worry, Ahri Meimei, he can't hurt me."
However, Bai Chenxiang's eyes revealed a hint of worry, "Indeed, his hostility towards us is too obvious. I wonder what he will do next."
At this moment, the other guests in the restaurant were also attracted by the commotion just now, and they all cast curious glances.
Seeing this, Zhuge Lan shrugged and said to Bai Chenxiang and Ahri Meimei, "Let's go, let's not draw attention to ourselves here. Let's go back and continue to enjoy our delicious food."
The deep night sky, like a colossal curtain, slowly descended, silently enveloping the vast and mysterious forest.
Darkness permeated the woods, and the outlines of the trees gradually blurred in the night, as if merging into the endless night.
The wind blew softly, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering the forest's story to the silent night.
Pei Xijun held a small lantern, cautiously searching for herbs in the forest.
She focused on observing the surrounding vegetation, afraid of missing any valuable medicinal ingredients.
Suddenly, Pei Xijun felt a powerful energy fluctuation.
"What is that? How can such powerful spirit power erupt? It couldn't be a powerful Spirit Beast, could it?"
Her heart was startled, and she slowly approached with the lantern.
