Bucket Rice Knight PK Ice Turtle Mage—Please Urge Updates, Clicks, and Recommendation Votes, Thanks

Long Xiaogua scratched his head as well and explained with a smile.

"Ah, Haoyue is smart, all right.

"But he's a bit of a glutton too. He sticks to me for fish at all three meals every day."

Even with the five Gold Coins issued by the branch hall each month.

Though he was never extravagant, Long Xiaogua had still become what people called a paycheck-to-paycheck spender.

Because Haoyue, that god-tier spendthrift, was simply far too good at eating.

Not only did he have a huge appetite.

He also had to consume double portions of food.

Eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping—he shamelessly stuck by Long Xiaogua's side through it all.

No matter what anyone said, he refused to return to the dimensional space he had originally been summoned from under the contract.

Long Xiaogua doted on him as well, so he no longer intended to send him back.

But because of that, he himself had become a thoroughly impoverished knight.

Long Fan naturally knew why Haoyue had chosen to stay.

He was surely afraid of returning and being targeted by those undead creatures plotting to slay gods ahead of schedule.

Patting Long Xiaogua on the shoulder, he took out the salary he had just received.

"It's fine. If you don't have enough money from now on, your brother has money."

Taking the money, Long Xiaogua's eyes held a trace of gratitude.

"Thank you, Brother Fan. On behalf of my little brother—no, I should say my two little brothers—thank you."

If it had been anyone else, he truly would not have accepted it so readily.

But to him, Long Fan had already become like an elder brother.

Watching the heartwarming scene, Li Xin, the boss lady, grinned happily as well.

Hehe, I have two handsome little brothers too.

I'll look completely different when I walk around with them.

She hooked one arm around Long Fan and the other around Long Xiaogua.

Then she giggled.

"Two little brothers, let's go!"

"Okay." x2

The three food-devouring knights officially set off.

Bright Moon City.

Blue Moon Restaurant.

Li Xin led her two little brothers inside with practiced ease.

She picked a window seat in the main hall.

The rich lady knight, Li Xin, took the menu handed over by the young waitress.

With a pen in hand, she made two or three strokes across the menu containing dozens of dishes.

"Bring all the remaining dishes."

Although Long Xiaogua knew that Li Xin was carefree by nature.

Her way of ordering food still left him utterly stunned.

Long Fan, on the other hand, had already been mentally prepared.

But to be fair, You Yao Ge would truly be "blessed" in the future.

With a rich girlfriend at the level of a city lord's chief commander, she was unbelievably generous with her money.

A woman no less capable than any man.

As expected of you, Hell Rose.

That forthrightness was quite a nice bonus too.

Just as the three finished ordering and took their seats.

A voice carrying thirty percent mockery, seventy percent provocation, and ninety percent coldness rang out.

"Oh, give it a rest, Bucket Rice Knight!"

At those words, Li Xin's expression immediately hardened.

Two men and a woman entered the Blue Moon Restaurant.

The young woman wore a deep blue mage's robe.

Faint elemental ripples shimmered across the blue robe.

The two young men flanked her protectively.

They wore standard warrior leather armor and appeared to be her guards.

Long Fan turned his head to look.

Wasn't that Hell Rose Li Xin's arch-nemesis, the mage Lin Jialu, who happened to be passing by?

She showed up frequently in the early stages, then vanished entirely later on.

He glanced at the left chest of her robe.

There was a four-star badge there.

A golden pattern encircled its marking.

She was clearly a Fourth Rank First Level Great Mage.

As for the warrior guards beside her—

Long Fan scanned them with the Deep Blue System.

One was a Shield Battle Master.

The other was a Berserk Battle Master.

Both were Third Rank Eighth Level.

Their cultivation was fairly decent.

Li Xin slapped the table and stood up, snapping back at her.

"You turtle mage, who are you calling a glutton?"

Lin Jialu flicked her robe and snorted.

"Whoever eats the most is a Bucket Rice Knight, isn't she?"

The two women started bickering the moment they met.

The waiters wisely stayed away.

Every one of them had powerful backing, so it was best to keep their distance.

Li Xin, with her spirited and forthright looks, braced one hand against the table.

She glared viciously at the other woman.

"I should've cut you down with one sword strike last time."

Lin Jialu, who looked every bit the refined young lady, leaned on her staff.

Yet she sneered without backing down.

"I shouldn't have shown mercy with my staff last time. I should've frozen you into an ice sculpture."

Li Xin raised her chin disdainfully.

Lin Jialu turned her head away contemptuously.

Just like that—

They continued trading barbs across the dining table.

Long Xiaogua glanced at Long Fan.

But even Long Fan, who often resolved difficult situations, had no solution this time.

The two could only look at each other and watch the pair of arch-nemeses vent until they calmed down a little.

If not for the Governor and Chief Commander's ban on fighting—

The two of them would nearly have started throwing punches.

Still, although they bickered noisily—

They both kept their words within proper bounds.

However, after arguing for so long, all the dishes had been served.

The two of them were getting tired of arguing as well.

Seeing this, Li Xin's beautiful eyes rolled as she looked toward the blue-robed girl who had been sparring with her, changing the subject.

"Do you dare make a bet with me?"

Lin Jialu snorted.

"What are we betting?"

The two of them had never gotten along.

Neither was willing to concede to the other. They had to compete over everything.

A crafty glint flashed through Li Xin's eyes as she spoke.

"The restriction order only says we can't fight each other. It never said we couldn't find substitutes.

How about this? These are my two younger brothers, and you happen to have two people on your side as well. Why don't they have a match?"

Only then did Lin Jialu notice Long Fan and Long Haochen standing nearby.

Her eyes immediately lit up.

Both of them were incredibly handsome.

Especially Long Fan, with his sword-like brows and starry eyes—his face was a perfect hundred.

Those pale golden eyes added an intangible touch of elegance to his bearing.

Lin Jialu's heart began to race.

Her legs pressed together.

She nearly failed to hold onto her staff.

What a handsome man!

Seeing Lin Jialu looking even more lovestruck than she had been before, Li Xin felt she had won back a round and waved her hand smugly.

"Alright, alright. You've clearly never seen the world. No matter how long you stare, he's still my little brother."

Hearing that, Lin Jialu snapped out of it and withdrew her gaze.

She curled her lips.

"You're supposed to be his older sister, yet you have the nerve to send such a little pretty boy into battle?"

Li Xin crossed her arms and snorted.

"None of your business. A knight's age doesn't matter.

If you don't dare to bet, then roll yourself into a ball and get out of here. Don't get in the way of me taking my brothers to eat."

"I've never been afraid of anyone. Fine, let's bet.

I'll send my guards. Who are you sending to face them?"

Li Xin's eyes brightened, and she went along with it.

"Since it's a bet, we can't have my brothers and your guards wasting their time and energy for nothing. There should at least be some stakes."

She might have looked carefree and blunt, but after getting by for so long, she was no fool.

Before Lin Jialu could think it over, Li Xin immediately pulled a white crystal stone from the pouch at her waist, as though she had prepared it long ago.

"I'll wager a Fifth Level Golden Yan Tiger Magic Crystal against your Radiant Shield."

Lin Jialu froze slightly.

She felt that this "bet" was not so simple.

But Li Xin had already seized the initiative and deliberately provoked her.

"Hehe, surely Bright Moon City's number one magical genius girl isn't too scared to accept, is she?"

Lin Jialu, who appeared reserved and steady on the surface, took the bait at once.

"What wouldn't I dare to do? A bet it is." Acting on impulse, Lin Jialu agreed immediately.

Just as the old saying went—

A slick bald head, with nothing but chaff for brains!

Li Xin's eyes shifted slightly.

Little girl, all your brains grew down below. Aren't you still completely in my grasp?

Tossing the light-element Golden Yan Tiger crystal in her hand, she smiled faintly.

She pointed toward the large plaza outside.

"Come on, let's fight outside. If someone gets scared, they don't have to follow."

Before her words had even faded, she grabbed Long Fan and Long Xiaogua and strode outside.
