After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Oscar gave a wry smile. "I said it when we came out—this was an impossible task from the start. But don't be afraid. We're both Support System Soul Masters; are we really going to worry about going hungry together? Want something to eat?"

Yu Ling scratched her head at that. Why did she feel so out of place among these two pure support-type Soul Masters?

Ning Rongrong merely glanced at Oscar. Though she was still young, her soft, charming gaze carried a hint of allure.

Oscar's legs went weak beneath Ning Rongrong's look. He chuckled and called out twice as if presenting a treasure, "I Have a Big Sausage."

With a flash of light, two fragrant Sausages appeared in his hand. He offered them to Ning Rongrong and Yu Ling.

Although Oscar had already given up pursuing Yu Ling, they could still be good friends.

"My Sausage..." Oscar began bragging again about how wonderful his Sausage was.

Yu Ling did not refuse. She took the Great Recovery Sausage Oscar offered her and bit into it. Sure enough, it tasted far better than rice porridge.

Watching Yu Ling eat so heartily, Ning Rongrong felt tempted to take Oscar's Sausage as well. But when she thought of Oscar's Soul Incantation, reason ultimately defeated desire, and she tossed out another fierce remark. "I still have two slices of thick bread. Eat your own damn Sausage."

After saying that, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared. With a boost to her agility, she immediately ran ahead.

Oscar stopped in his tracks, frozen on the spot. Thinking back to Ning Rongrong's words, he could not help feeling puzzled. Wasn't she supposed to be approachable?

Yu Ling patted Oscar on the shoulder. "Little Ao, keep running. I'll go catch up with Rongrong."

With that, Yu Ling's speed abruptly increased, and she vanished in a flash.

Oscar stood there dumbly again. So fast...

When Ning Rongrong noticed Yu Ling catching up from behind, she also gave Yu Ling a boost to her speed.

"Thanks." Though Yu Ling did not need it, she still thanked her.

"It's nothing." Ning Rongrong waved a hand.

Ning Rongrong ran a little farther before stopping.

Yu Ling stopped with her and asked in confusion, "Rongrong, what's wrong?"

Ning Rongrong sighed. "I don't want to run anymore."

Yu Ling replied, "Then how are you going to explain it to the dean?"

Ning Rongrong said indifferently, "It's fine. He won't know."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up again. "Yu Ling, how about we go have some fun in Suotuo City?"

Yu Ling had just wanted to refuse, but when she saw Ning Rongrong's gaze, she agreed anyway.

The two quickly left Shrek Academy and prepared to head for Suotuo City.

However, not far away, Flender was quietly watching the two girls leave.

Flender sighed and was about to leave when he caught sight of Yu Ling making an OK gesture behind her back with her right hand.

Flender smiled. "That little girl actually noticed me. Not simple at all."

Yu Ling circulated her Soul Power and summoned Little Fire Dragon Fleet. Though Fleet's combat strength could not compare to that of a High-level Spirit or Louise, he was undoubtedly the best choice for traveling. Since Yu Ling and Ning Rongrong were both still quite petite, Fleet could effortlessly carry them to Suotuo City.

"Wow, Yu Ling, your martial soul is really amazing," Ning Rongrong praised.

"Mm, it's okay." Yu Ling scratched her little head.

Fleet was incredibly fast. In just a few minutes, Yu Ling and Ning Rongrong arrived in Suotuo City.

"Where should we go have fun?" Yu Ling looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Mm, let's eat first." Ning Rongrong thought for a moment before answering.

At that moment, Yu Ling suddenly looked into the distance. She tugged on Ning Rongrong's sleeve and pointed ahead. "Look over there."

"An auction? It starts this afternoon?" Ning Rongrong asked in delight.

"Yeah. We can go to the auction after lunch." Yu Ling smiled.

Having made their decision, Yu Ling and Ning Rongrong prepared to eat first. They chose the Immortal Soup Tower in Suotuo City.

The Immortal Soup Tower was Suotuo City's most luxurious restaurant. It was a three-story building, and when Yu Ling and Ning Rongrong entered, the first thing they saw was a resplendent, magnificent hall, as though they had stepped into a lavish palace.

Naturally, the Immortal Soup Tower's average spending per customer was also extremely high. But that was nothing to Yu Ling and Ning Rongrong. One was the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master. The other was Spirit Hall's Second Miss and the adopted granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, one of the current Limit Douluo. Though she had only been taken in, her status was equal to Qian Renxue's.

After the two entered, a waiter led them to a table and took out a menu.

"Hello, esteemed guests. What would you like to eat?" the waiter asked politely.

Ning Rongrong answered first, "Do you have any signature dishes?"

"Of course." The waiter replied unhurriedly, "We have Volcanic Snow, Walking on a Country Road, Peerless Twins..."

"Stop, stop." Yu Ling directly cut him off. "What kind of dish names are those? I can't understand them at all."

The waiter had clearly encountered this situation before and remained perfectly calm. "The first dish, Volcanic Snow, is chilled tomatoes mixed with sugar. The second, Walking on a Country Road, is braised pork trotters. The third, Peerless Twins, is green chili peppers stir-fried with red chili peppers."

Yu Ling and Ning Rongrong were both stunned. This restaurant was truly exceptional at naming dishes.

Seeing the two standing there in a daze, the waiter continued, "Those earlier ones are merely signature side dishes. The real highlights come afterward."

Yu Ling stared at him with wide eyes, waiting for him to continue.

The waiter went on, "We also have several signature cold dishes: Suotuo City's specialty, Seafood Skewered Lobster with Brown Sauce, as well as Steamed and Fried World Tree Rooster Liver. For soup, we have Sweet Potato and Chestnut Cream Soup. Our main courses include Frosty Ancient Dragon Ribeye and White Wine Stewed Fruit of Wisdom. For dessert, we have Ice Cream Golden Black Tea. As an appetizer, we have Scallop Salad."

By the time the waiter finished, Ning Rongrong was already drooling.

While Ning Rongrong was drooling with craving, Yu Ling was utterly baffled. Steamed and Fried World Tree Rooster Liver? Frosty Ancient Dragon Ribeye? Was this restaurant trying to reach the heavens?

Still, Yu Ling tactfully did not expose them. It was obvious the restaurant was simply bluffing, using grandiose names.

"Bring one serving of each of those signature dishes you mentioned later. Two desserts as well. And one serving of Volcanic Snow too," Ning Rongrong said.

The waiter froze for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure? The price..."

Ning Rongrong waved a hand. "Just bring them out. Don't worry about the money."

The waiter was now extremely excited. Two wealthy little girls had arrived. He would earn quite a sizable commission from this meal, because Ning Rongrong had ordered the Immortal Soup Tower's most expensive dishes.
