After Cheating Rongrong, I'll Cheat Zhuqing!

After a busy morning, the first thing the three of them naturally had to do was eat.

Xiao Wu hopped and skipped as she led the two of them to her favorite restaurant.

Zhang Tianyu watched them order while quickly browsing the shop, searching for a suitable item.

After searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything quite right.

Ning Rongrong was a girl, after all, and in his previous life, she had been one of his wives; he couldn't prank her with the same intensity he used on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

Therefore, he had to find a gentler item with less severe consequences.

Zhang Tianyu scratched his head. What item should he use? Or rather, what method should he use?

"We've finished ordering, Tianyu. Is there anything you'd like to add?" Xiao Wu's voice pulled Zhang Tianyu's thoughts back to reality.

Glancing at the menu in the waiter's hand, Zhang Tianyu nodded. "That's fine. Make it quick; we're all starving."

"Understood." The waiter nodded politely and turned to leave.

Watching the waiter's retreating back, a plan suddenly occurred to Zhang Tianyu!

Then, he had a change of heart—no, no, that was too brutal—and abandoned the scheme.

A few seconds later, another plan occurred to him!

But he quickly abandoned that one as well.

When facing the likes of Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Oscar, he could use any means necessary, as long as he didn't kill them.

But when it came to Ning Rongrong, this sweet girl who had wrapped him up like gentle water in his previous life, those methods were just too cruel.

"Sigh... what on earth should I do..."

Soon, dish after dish was served.

Xiao Wu was truly famished; as soon as the food arrived, she began to eat, eat, eat without a shred of ladylike decorum!

In contrast, Ning Rongrong was much more elegant. As the heir to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her table manners were impeccable.

Watching her eat elegantly with those cherry-red lips, Zhang Tianyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"A plan occurred to you?" the system asked.

Of course not.

Zhang Tianyu's eyes had lit up because he remembered some beautiful times from his previous life.

System: ...

However, a plan did indeed occur to Zhang Tianyu—a gentler, less brutal strategy.

Since he couldn't treat Ning Rongrong so roughly, he would just use a small item on her!

Select item: [I Eat Eat Eat!]

Hiding his hand in his sleeve, he flicked his finger toward Ning Rongrong.

Usage successful!

Watching Xiao Wu gorge herself without any ladylike grace, Ning Rongrong showed no expression on the surface, focusing only on her own meal.

But deep down, she felt a bit of disdain for Xiao Wu.

She was a girl, after all; was it really okay to gorge herself like that?

Especially in front of Zhang Tianyu.

Look at me—even though I'm also very hungry, I'm maintaining a very elegant way of eating.

But as she thought about it, her heart began to feel stifled.

Why?

The fact that Xiao Wu could be so unrefined in front of Zhang Tianyu only proved that the relationship between the two was truly close!

The more Ning Rongrong thought about it, the more depressed she became, and the tighter her chest felt.

Their relationship was so good that Xiao Wu could devour food without any ladylike grace in front of Zhang Tianyu.

What was the point of me maintaining this elegance?

Forget it!

I'm hungry anyway, so I might as well just eat, eat, eat!

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong suddenly abandoned her previous ladylike demeanor, rolled up her sleeves, picked up her chopsticks, grabbed her bowl, and began to eat, eat, eat!

Seeing her like this, Zhang Tianyu was startled.

Good grief, even though this item was a small one, it was quite fierce!

How should he describe it?

A second ago, Ning Rongrong was still eating slowly like an elegant peacock, but the next second she turned into a wild boar, snorting and shoveling food into her mouth!

Impressive!

Truly impressive!

Not to mention Zhang Tianyu, even Xiao Wu was startled.

Who would have thought that a pampered young lady from the Upper Three Sects could be so unrestrained when eating!

Not bad, I've decided to make her my best friend!

Watching Ning Rongrong's frantic eating style, as if someone were about to snatch the food away from her, Zhang Tianyu hatched another plan.

If he were to combine the I Eat Eat Eat item with the Lao Ba Delicacies item...

Holy crap!

The toilets wouldn't need cleaning anymore!

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would take care of everything!

Ah, brilliant!

He would save this combo set for later; when the time was right, he would use it on those two, and he guaranteed they would want more after just one bite...

By the time Ning Rongrong realized something was wrong, the food on the table had been completely wiped out, and her stomach was stuffed to the limit.

"Ah... I... how did I eat so much?" Ning Rongrong looked at her belly, completely stunned.

"Maybe you were just too hungry," Zhang Tianyu said.

"Do you need some more?" Xiao Wu asked.

Ning Rongrong's face flushed bright red on the spot!

When she saw the oil stains and grease splattered all over her clothes, she felt even more devastated!

Ah! No!

My lady-like image!

"I'm full, I'll go wait for you guys outside!" After saying that, Ning Rongrong fled the scene as if she were running away.

"Are you full?" Zhang Tianyu asked.

Xiao Wu nodded: "How about you?"

"I'm full too, let's go."

"I'll go out and check on her first," Xiao Wu said.

After Zhang Tianyu paid the bill and left the restaurant, he saw Xiao Wu supporting Ning Rongrong as she stood to the side.

Ning Rongrong was standing there like a pregnant woman, one hand on her waist and the other constantly rubbing her belly.

Her stomach was indeed quite large, causing many passersby to turn their heads repeatedly.

So young and already pregnant, impressive! Respect!

Seeing Zhang Tianyu come out, Ning Rongrong's face turned bright red once again.

She wailed in her heart:

It's over!

How could I make such a fool of myself in front of Zhang Tianyu!

My image in his eyes must be completely ruined now!

Watching her appearance and posture, Zhang Tianyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this item was truly fierce.

To think it could bloat someone up like a pregnant woman—absurd! Absolutely absurd!

And this was already one of the milder types of prank items; to think it could have such power!

Maybe next time, he should just make Ning Rongrong do a backflip instead.

[Notification: Congratulations! The task "In the capital, there is a master of vocal mimicry, and her name is Rong" has been completed! Reward: 200 Reward Points, Soul Power Level +1.]

Zhang Tianyu nodded secretly. It seemed that girls like Ning Rongrong were indeed most concerned about their etiquette and appearance.

Just now, she had abandoned all etiquette while gorging herself, and now, bloated like a pregnant woman with her clothes stained in grease, her appearance was a total mess.

This was a massive blow to her.

It seemed that when it came to pranking and messing with people in the future, he would have to prescribe the right medicine for the right illness.

As for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, there was no need to be selective; he would just use whatever was the most ruthless.

Following the system's usual pattern, since Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had both been pranked, the next target had to be Zhu Zhuqing, right?

Sure enough, the moment that thought crossed his mind—

[Notification: Task "Let's learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow meow" activated. Task objective: Prank Zhu Zhuqing. No restrictions on methods, means, or consequences, though it is best not to cause her death. Task reward: 200 Reward Points, Soul Power Level +1.]
