Lingxi Wreaks Havoc at the Barbecue Restaurant, Wang Dong'er is Teased by the Girls, Dai Yueheng: My Brother is Too Monstrous

Di Lingxi ate more than a dozen plates of snowflake beef, plus two plates of roasted pork belly and a serving of roasted rabbit meat from the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.

Dai Huabin was stunned.

This girl is barely a little bit human-sized, yet her stomach can hold so much stuff.

"More."

Di Lingxi stuffed the last piece of meat into her mouth, her cheeks bulging, and stretched out the plate towards Dai Huabin again.

Take it easy, don't overeat.

"No," Di Lingxi said matter-of-factly, "My cultivation level is high."

Zhu Lu poured Dai Huabin a cup of tea and whispered a reminder:

"If you keep eating like this, you'll probably empty this store's entire inventory for today."

Di Lingxi thought for a moment, then looked in the direction of the counter.

"Shall we have two more rounds?"

Dai Huabin waved helplessly to the waiter. The waiter's legs were trembling when he ran over, not from fear, but from exhaustion after running so many trips.

After finishing their barbecue, the three of them left "Flame Dragon Pavilion".

The sun shone brightly on the streets of Star Luo City, where pedestrians thronged and vendors' cries echoed throughout. The competition had just ended, and celebratory flags were hung everywhere in the city, creating a lively atmosphere.

Di Lingxi walked to Dai Huabin's left, Zhu Lu to his right.

The little guy looked around curiously, showing great interest in everything in the human city, and would stop every now and then to stare at a certain stall's candied hawthorn or small toy for a long time.

Dai Huabin took out his money and bought a string of candied hawthorns, which he then handed to her.

Di Lingxi took it and took a bite, her whole face scrunching up.

"Acid!"

"Didn't you want to eat it?"

"It looks nice, but it doesn't taste good." Di Lingxi shoved the candied hawthorn into Dai Huabin's hand without hesitation. "You eat it."

Zhu Lu suppressed a laugh, took the bag, and took a bite, finding it deliciously sweet and sour.

"It's quite delicious."

Di Lingxi looked at Zhu Lu with an expression that said, "You humans have such strange tastes," and shook her head.

Meanwhile, Ning Tian and his three companions had already spent the entire morning at the Starlight Auction House.

"Look at this! This is a cloak woven from ten-thousand-year-old Ice Silkworm silk!"

Xiao Xiao leaned over the display case, her hands pressed against the glass, her voice filled with excitement.

Cui Yajie leaned over to take a look at the price tag and gasped.

"One million Gold Soul Coin, Xiao Xiao. If you can afford it, I'll take your surname."

Xiao Xiao instantly wilted.

Wang Dong'er stood a little distance away, holding a cup of free tea provided by the auction house.

She wasn't very interested in shopping, but the three of them practically dragged her out.

"Dong'er, come and look at this!" Ning Tian beckoned.

Wang Dong'er walked over. Ning Tian pointed to a hairpin in a display case; it was silver and had a blue gemstone the size of a thumb embedded in it.

"Doesn't it look great? It matches your hair color perfectly."

Wang Dong'er looked at it for a while, then said indifferently, "I don't wear these kinds of things."

"But you could give it to someone else," Cui Yajie suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "For example, to the person who caught it for you?"

Wang Dong'er's ears turned red instantly.

"Shut up."

Xiao Xiao clapped her hands with delight. "Yajie is right! Dong'er, who was the last person you saw before you fainted that day?"

"It's the referee." Wang Dong'er said expressionlessly.

"You're kidding me!" the three people said in unison.

Wang Dong'er turned and left, while the three of them laughed so hard they were doubled over.

Ning Tian caught up with her and took her arm.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Let's go upstairs and see if we can find any good Soul Tool."

The four girls disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

It was much simpler for Dai Yueheng's side.

"Brothers, it's Quan Ge's treat today!" Dai Yueheng slapped Gongyang Mo on the back, almost knocking the support-type Soul Master to the ground.

"No," Gongyang Mo waved his hand, "You said you'd treat us last time, but I had to make up the difference because we didn't have enough money."

"That was last time! I brought enough this time!"

Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng exchanged a glance, both seeing a "don't believe him" expression on each other's faces.

However, they still went along. The four big boys went straight to the largest hot spring in Star Luo City and soaked in it for the entire afternoon.

"Ah!" Dai Yueheng sprawled out by the hot spring pool, letting out a deep sigh of admiration, "This is the treatment a champion should receive."

Chen Zifeng leaned against the pool wall, a rare look of relaxation on his face. "Indeed. The final was too intense, and my shoulders have been stiff for the past few days."

"Speaking of which," Gongyang Mo suddenly spoke up, "Huabin took Zhu Lu and Ling Xi out for barbecue, didn't he? How does he manage to have two women on his left and right and still look so nonchalant?"

"They're capable."

Dai Yueheng's tone was sarcastic.

"Look at my brother, he's stronger than me, almost as handsome, more talented, and more popular. He has all the good things in the world."

Yao Haoxuan said in a muffled voice:

"You're his brother, and you didn't even get a bit of credit?"

"Get a fart."

Dai Yueheng rolled his eyes. "Having a younger brother who is so talented, strong, and popular with women puts a lot of pressure on me."

The three of them were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Outside the city, there was a grassy slope.

Zhang Lexuan sat on a flat, large rock, holding a cup of sake she had brought from the city.

The early autumn breeze was pleasant, gently caressing her waist-length black hair.

Wu Ming lay on the grass, her red hair spread out on the ground, her two long legs crossed, and a blade of grass in her mouth.

"Lexuan, what level do you think Huabin will reach in the future?"

Zhang Lexuan took a sip of wine. "Ming'er, what about you? What do you think?"

"The second Limit Douluo within a century," Wu Ming said seriously.

Han Ruoruo sat next to Zhang Lexuan, her slender fingers tapping lightly on her knees, her tone calm:

"With Huabin's talent, it's possible he could achieve it within fifty years, let alone a century."

Wu Ming sat up. "What about Xiaotao? The problem with the Evil Fire has been stabilized for now, but what about the future?"

"Since Huabin says he has a solution, we should naturally believe him," Zhang Lexuan replied.

The three of them were quiet for a while.

The distant mountains are lush and green, and the clouds on the horizon are tinged with a warm orange hue by the setting sun.

"It's time to go back." Zhang Lexuan stood up and patted the grass clippings off her skirt.

It was already evening when we got back to the city.

Dai Huabin escorted Di Lingxi back to her room. Despite her mature and sophisticated appearance, her eating habits were quite comical. She had eaten too much again today and collapsed onto the bed as soon as she got back.

He had just turned around and was walking back when he saw Ma Xiaotao standing at the end of the corridor.

Her fiery red hair was down today, and she wore a light-colored, loose-fitting long dress. The sharpness and flamboyance she displayed during the competition were gone, revealing a rare gentleness.

"Sister Xiaotao?"

Ma Xiaotao came forward, her steps much slower than usual.

Her complexion had mostly recovered, but the flow of Soul Power within her body was not yet completely smooth.

"Come out for a walk." Her voice was a few octaves lower than usual. "I've been lying in my room all day; I'm practically moldy."

"Your body?"

"I won't die." Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at him. "Don't treat me like a fragile porcelain doll."

Dai Huabin smiled and withdrew the words of advice he was about to say.
