Waaah, he looks like a god descended to the mortal world! And the girl with him is beautiful too!"
"Mom, I think I just fell in love!"
The admiring whispers filled the hall. But Ah Yin didn't notice any of them.
She was struggling with a far more important dilemma....whether to eat the dragon tendon or the tuna belly first.
Her brows knitted, her face full of childish seriousness..
The dragon tendon smells so good… but the fish belly looks shiny and delicious… Ahhh, what should I do?"
Yuan Longxuan chuckled. "Start with the tuna belly. It's lighter....an appetizer."
He picked up a piece himself, golden and tender, and popped it into his mouth.
The soft texture melted instantly, releasing a sweet, rich flavor with a faint trace of ocean saltiness. ..
A comfortable warmth spread through his body, nourishing his meridians.
He gave a satisfied nod. "Mm. Excellent."
When he glanced up, he found Ah Yin staring at him, her cheeks glowing faintly. Without a word, he used his chopsticks to place a piece directly into her mouth.
She blinked in surprise, then chewed slowly. The fish belly melted into silky warmth, the flavor lingering on her tongue.
Her entire body relaxed under the gentle warmth flowing through her.
"…So good," she whispered.
Yuan Longxuan smiled. "If you like it, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll order more."
The two of them soon fell into a comfortable rhythm, eating and sharing dishes. To Ah Yin, every bite was a revelation.
But not far away, in the shadows of the restaurant, two cloaked men sat, their eyes locked on the pair.
"What a beautiful girl," one murmured.
"Indeed. Too bad she already has company," the other replied.
The first man snorted. "So what? After we eat, we'll make a scene. Then she'll see what true strength looks like."
"I like her too," the second man said flatly.
The first narrowed his eyes. "Then it's simple. Each of us will rely on our own skills."
Their hushed voices carried no farther than their corner....or so they thought.
Yuan Longxuan, however, heard every word clearly. A faint smile tugged at his lips as a translucent panel appeared before his eyes, revealing their identities.
[Tang Hao]
Identity: Disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, grandson of the current sect master
Age: 33
Soul Power: Rank 83, Contra
Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer (Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black)
[Tang Xiao]
Identity: Disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, elder brother of Tang Hao
Age: 55
Soul Power: Rank 83, Contra
Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer (Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black)
Yuan Longxuan's grin widened slightly. "So it's them… Tang Hao and Tang Xiao."
Both men were strong....powerhouses, even. But Yuan Longxuan found it amusing that grown men in their thirties and fifties would scheme like lovesick teenagers over a girl.
On the Douluo Continent, age in love wasn't considered a big deal.
But Yuan Longxuan still carried his Blue Star mindset. In that world, a thirty-three-year-old man pursuing a girl who looked barely out of her teens was at least a little uncomfortable.
Then, a mischievous thought crossed his mind.
What if I set Tang Hao up with Yue Guan instead?
The image made him stifle a laugh.
Imagine it....Tang San, the so-called child of destiny, born from the union of Tang Hao and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
His first martial soul, the Odd Velvet Chrysanthemum; his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. A legendary combination!
The mental picture was so ridiculous that Yuan Longxuan nearly burst out laughing at the table.
Yuan Longxuan and Ah Yin sat together in the private room by the window, their harmony and beauty making them look like a pair of divine immortals.
Anyone who saw them couldn't help but feel a mixture of envy and jealousy.
It wasn't only that they were both stunning....it was that they looked so natural together, as though they had been destined for each other.
Below, the street bustled with noise. Someone with a keen business sense had even piled up several bags of cement with a crude sign that read "Two hundred and fifty coins a bag."
The comical sight made Yuan Longxuan smirk faintly as he leaned lazily against the chair, gazing outside with satisfaction.
Ah Yin, however, was still nibbling slowly at a bright-red ruby prawn, savoring every bite.
Suddenly....
"Pop!"
A crisp sound came from her lower abdomen. ..
Yuan Longxuan turned his head, eyes widening slightly.
That little girl had actually broken through while eating!
The spiritual energy contained in the dishes had pushed her to a new realm. In the blink of an eye, ..
Ah Yin's cultivation had surged to the sixty-sixth rank....she had officially stepped into the realm of a Soul Emperor.
Her small face flushed crimson. She had known that the food contained immense energy, but she hadn't expected it to be this overwhelming.
The problem was...she simply couldn't eat another bite.
She pouted, torn between desire and fullness, her expression adorably conflicted. Yuan Longxuan almost laughed aloud.
He reached over and gently tapped her forehead. "Alright, silly girl.
If you can't finish, just leave the rest for tomorrow.
Even good things can harm the body if eaten too much at once."
With a casual wave of his hand, the untouched dishes disappeared into the storage space within his system.
Ah Yin blinked at the sudden disappearance of her feast.
Then, to her horror, Yuan Longxuan plucked the half-eaten ruby prawn right from her hand and popped it into his own mouth without hesitation.
"My prawn!" she cried, eyes wide with grievance.
By the time she blinked again, it was gone.
Yuan Longxuan chewed leisurely, savoring the flavor, then smiled. "Be good.
Trust me, eating too much of this kind of tonic isn't good for you."
Her lips trembled in protest, but at last she sighed, slumping in defeat. "…Fine."
Still, the surging power within her body made her heart race with excitement.
Going out with Yuan Longxuan had turned out to be the best decision she had ever made.
Meanwhile, Yuan Longxuan had stretched his spiritual sense downstairs, monitoring the two men lurking below.....Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, brothers of the Clear Sky Sect.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before a ruckus broke out.
"Clatter! Bang!"
Plates and chopsticks clattered onto the floor.
"You call this food fit for humans? How dare you serve such trash!" a rough, booming voice bellowed.
Yuan Longxuan leaned against the window frame, watching the scene below as though watching circus clowns.
Tang Hao could smash dishes all he liked....if he could pay for them, it was no problem.
A waitress approached the two with practiced calm. "I'm very sorry the dishes weren't to your liking, sir.
But since you've already eaten everything, shouldn't you settle the bill before leaving?"
She wasn't flustered at all. After all, this wasn't the first time she'd encountered unruly guests.
At Juxiang Pavilion, anyone who refused to pay would simply be blacklisted. From then on, they wouldn't be served again.
Besides, this was the capital, Heaven Dou City. Picking fights here wasn't something most dared to do.
The commotion had already drawn the attention of many diners.
