Celebration

Inside a private room at the Star Blue Hotel!

"Everyone, please don't stand on ceremony and sit down. You've all worked hard in today's match. Thunder Academy is a tough opponent, but you still won so decisively. It seems that the training over the past three months has paid off, and everyone's strength has improved a lot."

"There are no outsiders here today, so everyone can relax and eat and drink to their heart's content."

Looking at everyone, Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

"Yes, Captain!" After hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone found a place to sit down.

Lu Yuan casually found a seat and sat down, with Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Qiu'er sitting on either side of Lu Yuan.

"Everyone, please start eating. Stop staring at me," Lu Yuan said, noticing that everyone was still staring at him.

"Captain, how dare we touch our food if you don't start first!" Ling Wei said with a wry smile as he looked at Lu Yuan.

In public, Lu Yuan is the Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, their top superior. In private, Lu Yuan is now their captain. If Lu Yuan doesn't eat, how dare they?

It should be noted that apart from Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu, and Ning Rongrong, everyone else present was a member of the Dragon King Hall.

How could they dare to start eating before Lu Yuan, the Hall Master?

This is just like in modern society. If you, a subordinate, sit down before the leader, aren't you asking for trouble?

Although Lu Yuan told them to start eating first, no one actually did so. After all, Lu Yuan might not care about these rules, but they still had to follow them.

Although Jing Ling and Jiang Zhu were unaware of Lu Yuan's identity Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, and in fact, apart from Dean Liu Erlong, no one else in the entire Heavenly Star Academy knew of Lu Yuan's identity as the Hall Master, this did not mean that Jing Ling and Jiang Zhu dared to disobey the rules in front of Lu Yuan.

It's important to know that Heavenly Star Academy belongs to Lu Yuan, so it's perfectly normal for them, as students, to respect Lu Yuan.

"You guys!" Looking at everyone, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly. This was the difference brought about by their status. Even if he wanted to get along with them, they were all very reserved.

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore.

Lu Yuan picked up his chopsticks, casually took a bite, glanced around, and said, "Everyone, let's start eating."

Seeing that Lu Yuan had started eating, the rest of the group also picked up their chopsticks. The competition had already ended at almost 11 o'clock, and then they had spent some time getting here, so it was almost midnight. They were indeed really hungry.

He put some fish on Zhu Zhuqing's plate and several large pieces of meat on Wang Qiu'er.

Zhu Zhuqing, needless to say, loves eating fish the most in her life, but she also eats other foods and is not picky about food.

Wang Qiu'er is a bit different. She is a carnivore and loves to eat meat. She is also very picky about food and will never eat anything that doesn't taste good. She rarely touches vegetables and will only eat some fruit at most. This may be related to her being Soul Beast.

Take Xiao Wu for example. Even after transforming into human form, she still loves eating carrots the most. It's her nature, and she can't change it.

"Qiu'er, is the food here delicious?" He picked up another large piece of golden-brown grilled steak for Wang Qiu'er. This steak was made from the meat of the thousand-year-old Soul Beast, the Black Armor Iron Rhino, and it tasted really good, but the price was also very high.

The meat of this thousand-year-old Soul Beast is only sold in large hotels like Star Blue Hotel. It's very difficult to find in other small hotels. After all, capturing a thousand-year-old Soul Beast is not an easy task; it requires a certain level of strength.

"Delicious!" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Wang Qiu'er, who was engrossed in eating, looked up. Her little mouth was shiny with oil, and some oil even got on her nose.

"Sigh, you silly girl, you don't even pay attention to what you eat." Lu Yuan waved his hand, and a clean handkerchief appeared in his hand. He used the handkerchief to wipe away the oil from Wang Qiu'er's delicate nose little by little.

Wang Qiu'er really enjoyed being pampered by Lu Yuan. Just as Lu Yuan finished wiping and was about to pull his hand away, Wang Qiu'er grabbed it.

"Brother, after we finish eating, how about Qiu'er go out and play together? Just the two of us." Wang Qiu'er blinked her big pink-blue eyes, her gaze filled with anticipation.

"Alright, it's Friday today, and there are no matches tomorrow or the day after, so there's no rush. Let's spend some time playing with my little Qiu'er today." Looking at Wang Qiu'er's adorable eyes, Lu Yuan really couldn't bear to refuse, so he immediately agreed.

"Yay, Qiu'er knew her brother was the best!" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Wang Qiu'er cheered and pressed her still-oily lips directly onto Lu Yuan's face.

After a brief separation, Wang Qiu'er began her struggle with the large piece of Black Armor Iron Rhino steak in her bowl.

"This girl!" Looking at Wang Qiu'er, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. She just kissed him like that. He knew without a doubt that she would leave a greasy mark on his face.

Lu Yuan picked up the handkerchief he had just used to wipe the oil stains off Wang Qiu'er's nose, and was about to wipe his face when suddenly his hand went empty as Zhu Zhuqing took the handkerchief from the side.

Zhu Zhuqing gently wiped the greasy marks on Lu Yuan's face with a handkerchief in her delicate hand.

"Zhu Qing, you should go back first. I'll have Sister Xiaotao escort you back." Lu Yuan said with a slight smile as he took Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

"And what about you? With Sister Xiaotao gone, who will protect you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Do I still need protection? With my current strength, unless Super Douluo makes a move, ordinary Titled Douluo can't threaten me. I can easily roam freely in this Heaven Dou Imperial City. I'm not the same person I used to be."

"Moreover, Zi JI is secretly protecting Qiu'er. Her strength is even greater than that of Sister Xiaotao, so there will be no danger for her."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said.

"Okay, then!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded after hearing Lu Yuan's words, relieved. "But don't go too wild, and remember to come back early."

Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

"Yes, don't worry." Lu Yuan gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's delicate hand and smiled slightly.

"Captain, we'll be going now!" Across from Lu Yuan, Fu Qinsheng, Ling Wei, and the others said goodbye to Lu Yuan one by one, as they were all heading back to the academy.

Ning Rongrong was also going back to the academy with Fu Qinsheng, although her eyes still held a deep reluctance as she looked at Lu Yuan.

"Let's go, be careful on the road." Lu Yuan waved to the crowd and said with a slight smile.

"Then I'll be going too. Remember to come back soon, you and Qiu'er." Zhu Zhuqing added a final reminder, still worried.

"I understand," Lu Yuan said softly.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded and left with Ma Xiaotao.

"Come on, Xiao Qiu'er, I'll go with you for a walk. Tell me, where do you want to go?" Lu Yuan patted Wang Qiu'er's head and smiled slightly.
