The Golden Dragon King's Aura!

"Fang Yang, let me tell you, there's something off about this Gu Yue. There's definitely something wrong with her!"

Xie Xie grabbed Fang Yang's arm and lowered his voice, his gaze occasionally flicking toward Gu Yue in the distance.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Fang Yang looked at Xie Xie in confusion.

"I can't really explain it..."

Xie Xie frowned. "It's just that whenever I see her, I feel scared for no reason, like she might beat me up at any moment!"

He swallowed and continued, "And think about it. A girl this pretty and this strong suddenly gets close to you—she's definitely up to no good."

As boys, we had to protect ourselves.

Tang Wulin, standing nearby, could not help but laugh. "Xie Xie, don't tell me you're jealous of Fang Yang?"

"Wulin, what kind of joke is that? This young master has looks and a family background. Why would I be jealous of him?"

Xie Xie immediately jumped up, raising his voice.

Fang Yang smiled and shook his head. "Xie Xie, aren't you being too sensitive? Gu Yue seems perfectly normal."

"But..." Xie Xie wanted to say more, but Tang Wulin's stomach interrupted him with a rumble.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Tang Wulin rubbed his stomach and said pitifully, "We ran around all morning. I'm starving. Fang Yang, Xie Xie, shall we go eat at the cafeteria?"

"Sure, I'll treat today." Fang Yang patted Xie Xie's shoulder. "Xie Xie pays."

"Huh? Why am I paying?" Xie Xie's eyes widened.

Tang Wulin was already impatient. "Hurry up, I'm starving to death."

To Tang Wulin, nothing else mattered. Filling his stomach was what mattered most!

Just then, Gu Yue approached them from afar.

The breeze stirred her long hair, giving it a black sheen beneath the sunlight.

Gu Yue smiled faintly. "Fang Yang, I happen to be hungry too. Can you take me along to the cafeteria?"

Xie Xie was about to refuse, but Fang Yang gave him a look. Tang Wulin immediately understood and covered Xie Xie's mouth.

"Mmph! Mmph!" Xie Xie struggled, but could not make a coherent sound.

Gu Yue blinked. "Fang Yang, what is he...?"

"Oh, don't mind him," Fang Yang said without changing expression.

"He's so excited at the thought of having lunch with Gu Yue that he can't speak."

Xie Xie: "..." (Internally: cs)

A trace of amusement flashed through Gu Yue's eyes. Pretending not to notice Xie Xie, she walked beside Fang Yang.

Just like that, Fang Yang and the others arrived at the academy cafeteria.

The Eastsea Academy Intermediate Department cafeteria was located in a small building beside the Main Teaching Building. The building had three floors, serving the six grades of the Intermediate Department. First and Second Grade students ate on the first floor.

There were three windows, marked A, B, and C respectively.

Meal C was free, Meal B required partial payment, while Meal A had to be paid for in full.

Naturally, the ingredients in Meal A were the best, followed by Meal B. Meal C was just ordinary food.

"Uncle, please give us four Meal As." Fang Yang stood before the Meal A window and smiled at the uncle inside.

Since Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline had been taken by Fang Yang, he naturally would not eat as much as he had in the original story.

Hearing the familiar voice, the cafeteria uncle who was serving food looked up.

When he saw Fang Yang and the others, a smile appeared on his face. "It's you little brats again. Here for Meal A?"

When his gaze landed on Gu Yue, he suddenly paused, his eyes lighting up. "Oh? And this young lady is... your girlfriend?"

Caught off guard by the sudden question, Gu Yue's face instantly flushed faintly.

Why are you blushing, Bubble Tea!

Fang Yang smiled and shook his head. "You misunderstand, Uncle. She's a new classmate in our class, Gu Yue."

"Haha, I think this girl's pretty good. This uncle is a great judge of people!" As he swiftly ladled out the dishes, the uncle winked at Fang Yang.

As he spoke, he deliberately added extra food to every tray.

At that moment, Gu Yue softly said, "Fang Yang, let me treat you all to this meal."

Fang Yang shook his head. "No need. We have a fixed method of payment."

Turning to Xie Xie, he revealed a sly smile. "Xie Xie, your turn."

Xie Xie wailed, "Me again!"

Still, he obediently took out his card and paid for four Meal As.

Tang Wulin snickered beside him, only to receive a fierce glare from Xie Xie.

Afterward, the four of them found a place to sit in the cafeteria.

Fang Yang and Gu Yue naturally sat on the same side.

Across from them were Xie Xie, still mourning his wallet, and Tang Wulin, who had already impatiently picked up his chopsticks.

Gu Yue picked up her chopsticks, took a fragrant chicken leg from her tray, and gently placed it onto Fang Yang's plate.

"You can have this. I'm not very hungry." Her voice was gentle.

"Thank you." Fang Yang did not refuse and began eating in large bites.

Across from them, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's eyes widened at the same time, their chopsticks dropping onto the table with a clatter.

The two exchanged a glance, communicating frantically with their eyes.

Xie Xie's eyebrows bounced wildly. "Wulin! Did you see that?!"

Tang Wulin's eyes widened even further. "I saw it! That was a chicken leg!"

Xie Xie curled his lips. "There's definitely something going on between them."

Tang Wulin nodded. "I think so too."

Just then, Gu Yue suddenly raised her head and gave them a Meaningful smile.

Xie Xie immediately felt a chill down his back. He hurriedly lowered his head and shoveled food into his mouth, pretending he had seen nothing.

He muttered inwardly, A real man doesn't fight women. If I can't provoke her, can't I at least hide from her?

The battle between Fang Yang and Gu Yue that morning was still vivid in his mind.

Xie Xie understood very clearly that although Gu Yue was a girl, he was absolutely no match for her.

After all, she was someone who could trade blows evenly with Fang Yang.

As for himself... if he fought Fang Yang, he would be instantly defeated in a single exchange and end up as a corpse by the roadside.

As for Tang Wulin, who lacked the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Gu Yue merely gave him an indifferent glance before returning her gaze to Fang Yang.

To be honest, she truly was surprised.

Gu Yue had originally thought Na'er had merely fallen for someone somewhat special. She had not expected Fang Yang to possess the aura of the Golden Dragon King.

Fang Yang's blood essence aura could deceive others, but it could not escape her senses.

Especially when she had deliberately pretended to fall earlier, and Fang Yang had steadily caught her.

At that moment, Gu Yue had been able to sense the power of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline surging within Fang Yang's body.

"Gu Yue, you're eating so little? We still have training this afternoon. Eat some more."

Fang Yang looked at Gu Yue beside him with concern, noticing how little food she had eaten from her tray.

Looking at Gu Yue beside him, he could not help thinking of Na'er.

Both were incarnations of the Silver Dragon King, yet that girl's appetite had been astonishingly huge.

"Thank you for your concern, Fang Yang. My appetite has always been small. This is already enough."

Gu Yue smiled faintly.
