Of course, no matter which kind, Oak Cake Rolls were commoners' food. These two little ones must have suffered greatly before. At such a young age, the first thing they looked for upon entering a restaurant was Oak Cake Rolls. Could this have been the best food they had ever eaten?

Luan Yu's heart ached for them, her maternal instincts overflowing. With a face full of pity, she stroked Firefly's head and casually tried to give Liu Xing a pat as well, only for him to dodge away in disdain.

Though he had no idea what Luan Yu was imagining again, Liu Xing was not going to indulge her. How could a dignified man keep being petted like some animal?

Unfortunately, an arm could not twist a thigh. With his tiny arms and legs, Liu Xing was forcibly pinned down by Luan Yu and thoroughly petted. He stared lifelessly ahead, feeling that his dignity as a man was gone forever.

Firefly was captivated by the various cakes on the menu and ignored Luan Yu's wandering hands. For the sake of the cakes, Firefly did not feel the urge to transform this time.

In the end, Firefly ordered a Strawberry Sundae and a cup of Star Universe Bobo Milk Tea.

Liu Xing, meanwhile, ordered a steak. This was no ordinary steak, but meat from a Soul Beast Fire Pattern Bull. Though it was not a Hundred-Year Soul Beast, it had still cultivated for several decades.

Although Spirit Beast Meat was precious, it was nothing in Luan Yu's eyes. What was a ten-year spirit beast? If her children were going to eat, they should eat meat from hundred-year or thousand-year spirit beasts. Only then could they lay a solid foundation.

She might love money, but she was not stingy. As a Titled Douluo and a Rank 9 Spirit Tool Master, raising two children was a piece of cake.

Watching the two little ones battle their food, deaf to everything beyond their plates and wholly devoted to eating, Luan Yu propped up her cheek and watched with a smile. To her, watching two little cuties eat was also a kind of enjoyment.

Just then, new guests sat down at the neighboring table. It was a beautiful woman with shoulder-length pink hair and a curvaceous figure, accompanied by several children around six years old. One pink-haired, pink-eyed little loli saw Liu Xing and Firefly eating and immediately brightened. Tugging at the Pink-Haired Beauty's clothes, she said sweetly, "Mom, I want a Strawberry Sundae, Star Universe Bobo Milk Tea, and a Fire Pattern Bull steak too."

The Pink-Haired Beauty pinched the Pink-Haired Loli's cheek with mock annoyance and said with a smile, "You ordered so much. Can you even finish it? No wasting food, understood?"

The Pink-Haired Loli grabbed the beautiful woman's arm and swayed it as she coquettishly said, "Mom, didn't you promise that as long as I awakened the Rouge Dragon Spirit today, I could eat whatever I wanted? If I can't finish it, Xu Shenshu and Feng Jue can help me."

At her words, the Little Charcoal Head with slightly dark skin and another Little Boy about the same age both pulled bitter faces. They wanted to eat what they liked too, not the little girl's leftovers.

The Pink-Haired Beauty helplessly patted the little loli's head. "Stop bullying little Shenshu and little Feng Jue. Eat what you order yourself. Since you successfully awakened the Rouge Dragon Spirit today, Mommy will indulge you."

Liu Xing glanced at the pink-haired little loli. She was obviously the Little Demon Girl type. Seeing him look at her, she stuck out her little tongue and made a face at him.

Liu Xing then looked at Firefly, who was focused on her food with her little cheeks puffed out, and thought, Ying Bao is still cuter.

The Pink-Haired Beauty helplessly shook her head and gave Luan Yu an apologetic nod. Luan Yu returned it warmly. Looking at the mischievous pink-haired little loli, then at her own two well-behaved little cuties, Luan Yu felt fortunate that she had not adopted two little brats.

However, recalling the conversation between the Pink-Haired Beauty and the Pink-Haired Loli, Luan Yu narrowed her eyes. The Rouge Dragon Spirit—if she remembered correctly, that was the inherited spirit soul of the Earthly Dragon Gate. Only the Earthly Dragon Gate Master's lineage possessed that spirit soul.

In other words, this Pink-Haired Beauty was Nan Shui Shui, the Earthly Dragon Gate Master and a Soul Douluo. Her luck was truly a little too good—so good that it gave Luan Yu a headache. She had merely brought the children to a restaurant for a meal, yet she had run into the Earthly Dragon Gate Master. Judging from their conversation, it seemed Nan Shui Shui's daughter had successfully awakened her inherited spirit soul, and she had brought her children out for some fun.

After turning to sit down with her back to Liu Xing and the others, Nan Shui Shui's smile vanished, and her gaze became grave. As a Soul Douluo, she could sense a faint pressure from Luan Yu. Unlike spirit tool masters, traditional soul masters possessed exceptionally keen five senses and intuition. Moreover, she had a Beast Spirit Soul, making her perception even sharper. Luan Yu gave her a very powerful feeling. She was a Soul Douluo herself, so anyone who could make her feel threatened had to be at least a Soul Douluo. An unfamiliar Soul Douluo had come to Dragon City. As one of Dragon City's rulers, she naturally had to pay some attention.

However, when she recalled the adorable silver-haired little boy and girl, Nan Shui Shui laughed at herself and shook her head. She was being too sensitive. Luan Yu had most likely only been passing through Dragon City with the two children. As a mother, Nan Shui Shui could see the concern and affection in Luan Yu's gaze toward them. That could not be faked.

She then looked at her lively, restless daughter, her eyes full of doting affection. Her daughter had awakened the Rouge Dragon Spirit today and possessed Innate Level 9 Soul Power. She had a chance of becoming a Titled Douluo in the future, which made Nan Shui Shui happy for the first time in a long while.

But whenever she thought of her daughter Nan Qiuqiu's Little Demon Girl personality, her head began to ache. If only Qiuqiu were as well-behaved as the two little ones next door.

Liu Xing and Firefly devoured their food quickly. Before long, they were full and contentedly rubbed their little bellies.

Luan Yu took out a tissue and wiped the corners of their mouths, smiling as she asked, "Are you full? If you are, then it's time for us to leave."

"We're full."

Liu Xing and Firefly answered in unison.

"Let's go."

Luan Yu led the two little ones to the counter to pay. As they passed Nan Shui Shui's table, she gave Nan Shui Shui a friendly nod. She knew perfectly well that Nan Shui Shui would be able to tell her cultivation was extraordinary, but she was not a wanted criminal. As long as she did not reveal that she came from the Sun Moon Empire, there would be no problem.

After leaving the restaurant, under Firefly's expectant gaze, Luan Yu brought the two little ones to a small dessert shop. It was clearly run by commoners. The shop was tiny, with only a plainly dressed woman tending it. Firefly immediately spotted the Oak Cake Rolls inside the glass display case.

"Two Oak Cake Rolls."

Luan Yu took out two Copper Soul Coins and spoke to the shopkeeper. Oak Cake Rolls were very cheap, costing one Copper Soul Coin each. The shopkeeper was startled. From Luan Yu's clothes, she could tell that she was wealthy and distinguished, yet the first thing she ordered was Oak Cake Rolls. Though surprised, she swiftly packed two Oak Cake Rolls and handed them to Luan Yu.

Watching Luan Yu leave with the two little ones, the shopkeeper muttered to herself, "Do wealthy people these days all have such unusual tastes?"
