While Cheng Duoyi and his group of five were eating, Xie Xie and Yun Xiao witnessed Tang Wuling's appetite for the first time.

Three bites per meat bun—and these were the meat buns from a Grade A Meal!

An ordinary first-year student would be full after eating two to four of them.

Tang Wuling, however, showed no signs of stopping; she would take a bite of a bun, follow it with a sip of soup, and never neglected her rice or vegetables, eating with such relish that it was a sight to behold.

Xie Xie whispered, "Brother Cheng, if Tang Wuling keeps eating like this, won't her stomach burst?"

Yun Xiao nodded, looking equally serious: "Tang Wuling has already eaten several times what we have, and she's still going. Can her body really handle it?"

In their eyes, this was no longer the level of a normal person.

What kind of normal person eats several times the amount of everyone else in a single sitting?

Had they not noticed how many students were already staring?

"Is this the ruthless person who bankrupted the Grade A Meal yesterday? You told me about it, but I didn't believe you until I saw it with my own eyes today."

"Would I lie to you? She eats so much, I wonder if her body can even take it."

"Isn't she just a bottomless pit? I..."

Before some students could finish their sentences, a single glance from Cheng Duoyi made them all fall silent.

"What's going on? I couldn't move after just one look!"

Those who still wanted to gossip about Tang Wuling behind her back dared not say another word.

Gu Yue clearly noticed the situation and, watching Cheng Duoyi smilingly hand a meat bun to Tang Wuling, felt a wave of irritation. Ling'er is special and has a large appetite; it will only grow larger in the future.

This attentive care and concern made her feel very uncomfortable inside.

This is clearly supposed to be my treatment. Little Yi, I won't allow anyone else to steal you away! Gu Yue secretly vowed to herself.

Tang Wuling was clearly indifferent to the surrounding discussions, thanks to Cheng Duoyi's guidance.

Eating ranked second in her heart, sharing the same status as her parents.

Facing Cheng Duoyi's feeding, Tang Wuling smiled and accepted it: "Thank you, Brother Yi'er."

She finished it in three bites, making Xie Xie and Yun Xiao's appetites soar.

Xie Xie was astonished—was this still not her limit?

Haji Ling, you really can eat!

"Forget it, let's eat, let's eat. Watching her makes me want to eat more."

After saying this, Xie Xie finished another bowl.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm full, I can't eat another bite. You guys finish it." Xie Xie rubbed his stomach and added, "This is the fullest I have ever been in my life."

Yun Xiao also clutched his stomach, clearly having eaten quite a bit himself.

Cheng Duoyi had been full for a while; he hadn't eaten much.

He wondered if it was because of the Dragon God's Wife; the fact that she absorbed the vitality within his body was a matter of life and death. The benefit was the expansion of his Spirit Sea, though it also meant his energy consumption was significantly reduced. Perhaps this was a case of heaven closing a door while opening a window—there were pros and cons.

Cheng Duoyi had once thought that some people were born with defects, such as vision problems, but their hearing or other senses would be greatly enhanced. His situation was somewhat similar, though his defect was quite large—so large that without the nourishment of the Dragon God Heart and the presence of Tang Wuling, Na'er, or Gu Yue, he likely wouldn't have lived very long.

Cheng Duoyi turned his head to look at Gu Yue and was startled.

Gu Yue was staring at him with a gloomy expression, not saying a word.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Gu Yue was about to devour Cheng Duoyi.

"Sister Yue'er, what's wrong? You look so upset, who made you angry?" Cheng Duoyi asked.

Gu Yue's expression immediately shifted from overcast to sunny, leaving even Xie Xie speechless.

If you went into acting, you'd definitely be a Best Actor!

Gu Yue thought: Little Yi called me Sister Yue'er, I'm so happy ^_^. He must have me in his heart.

"I'm fine," Gu Yue smiled.

Cheng Duoyi laughed: "That's good. I noticed you didn't eat much just now; was it not to your taste?"

Gu Yue was shocked: Little Yi is actually paying attention to me. He really loves me; I'm so happy.

Gu Yue said shyly: "It's not that, it's just..."

She couldn't bring herself to act like Tang Wuling or Na'er. As the main body of the Silver Dragon King and the embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom, she had a strong sense of shame. Asking Cheng Duoyi to feed her would be too embarrassing.

Yet Gu Yue often thought: It's perfectly normal for me to be fed by my husband, right...

Xie Xie sensed something was off: "Brother Cheng, Gu Yue wants you to feed her just like you feed Tang Wuling. As a loyal fan of you and Tang Wuling, I can't stand this behavior. I am an Yi-Ling Fan! You can't feed her; if you're going to feed anyone, feed Tang Wuling."

Tang Wuling looked at Xie Xie in surprise, her face flushing with shyness as she looked at Cheng Duoyi upon hearing this.

Gu Yue was so angry she felt like she might explode. She shot a glare at Xie Xie, who immediately looked up at the sky as if there were something fascinating to see.

Yun Xiao felt even more terrified. He wanted to say to Xie Xie: You are truly brave! You dare to say anything—aren't you afraid she'll deal with you?

Yun Xiao knew his place and simply kept eating, saying nothing.

"If you want me to feed you, just say so. Ah, open wide."

Cheng Duoyi acted as if he were raising a kitten, his tone gentle and his eyes brimming with tenderness. Tang Wuling instantly deflated; looking at the delicious food, she suddenly felt it wasn't quite as appetizing anymore.

Gu Yue's heart thumped uncontrollably.

Is this what love feels like?

Gu Yue took a bite, and her previous dissatisfaction dissipated entirely.

The only thought in her mind now was: Little Yi loves me so much~

Tang Wuling thought to herself, The outcome is yet to be decided!

The Tang Wuling of the past might have been a bit weak, but the current Tang Wuling was already a Level 3 Blacksmith. She believed she could be of help to Cheng Duoyi, and given their relationship, wouldn't she have the advantage of being close to the water to get the first moon?

Everyone ate this meal with their own hidden agendas, but in the end, it concluded satisfactorily.

"Little Sister Ling'er, Sister Yue'er, Xie Xie, Yun Xiao, have you all finished eating?" Cheng Duoyi asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Brother Yi'er, I'm full."

"Brother Cheng, I'm full too."

"Brother Cheng, I'm full as well."

"Little Yi, this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten."

Cheng Duoyi nodded, his tone serious for the first time: "As long as you're full. The days ahead will be a time for diligent study. None of you are allowed to slack off. My goal is to take everyone to Shrek Academy and show you the scenery from the pinnacle of the world. If anyone falls behind and fails to keep up, don't blame me for being heartless."

Tang Wuling was the first to speak: "Brother Yi'er, I will work hard!"

Gu Yue nodded: "Rest assured, I will have your back, Little Yi."

Xie Xie glanced at Gu Yue, then looked at Cheng Duoyi: "Brother Cheng, don't worry. I will do my absolute best to keep up with your pace. As for certain people who only love to spout nonsense, Brother Cheng, you should be extra careful."

"You!"

Gu Yue didn't understand why Xie Xie kept targeting her. She also wanted to say something about that Yi-Ling Fan—how disgusting!

Yun Xiao quickly added: "Brother Cheng, I know my own talent. I might not be able to keep up with your pace, but I will work hard!"

If Xie Xie had just been speaking polite words about keeping up with Cheng Duoyi's pace, what Yun Xiao said came from the heart.

He had witnessed Cheng Duoyi's prowess and understood just how difficult it was to keep up with him!

In this world, someone capable of keeping up with his pace almost didn't exist!

"Good. Since you all have confidence, I also have the confidence to lead you all in a sprint toward Shrek Academy. Of course, this will be inseparable from the guidance of Teacher Wu and Sister Xue'er..."

Cheng Duoyi did not intentionally lower his voice, and the people around them all felt he was talking big. Cheng Duoyi didn't care, and he certainly wouldn't take their whispers to heart.
