Cafeteria Ferocious Beast

A few freshmen who had just enrolled gathered together, whispering in low voices, their eyes filled with astonishment:

"Wow, who is that handsome guy? He looks so good, how can he eat so much?" "This is too ridiculous, right? There's so much food, can he finish it all by himself?"

Meanwhile, the senior students and the cafeteria staff nearby were unfazed, their faces showing not a hint of surprise.

Several fourth and fifth-year seniors looked at the curious freshmen and smiled as they explained: "Him? That's Su Ming, one of the three great kings of our Shrek Soul Master Academy outer courtyard!"

"Don't let his lean build fool you; his appetite is the biggest in the outer courtyard. He's a total little glutton who can eat ten times what others eat in a single meal. He's been famous in our outer courtyard for a long time."

These words caused quite a stir among the freshmen, who stared at Su Ming with amazed eyes. They were shocked, as it was their first time witnessing such an astonishing appetite in person.

Just as everyone in the cafeteria had their eyes fixed on the small mountain of food piled in front of Su Ming, two figures slowly emerged from the crowd. It was Tang Ya, holding Jiang Nannan's hand as they walked toward the table where Su Ming and the others were sitting.

As soon as Tang Ya saw Bei Bei, Su Ming, and Xu Sanshi, a bright smile bloomed on her face. She waved her hand enthusiastically, greeting them first: "Bei Bei, Su Ming, Sanshi, you're eating here too."

Jiang Nannan followed closely behind, her expression gentle. She first nodded slightly to Bei Bei, then turned to greet Su Ming.

However, when her gaze swept past the expectant Xu Sanshi, she looked right through him, completely ignoring his presence.

This scene caused Xu Sanshi, who had been full of joy waiting for his crush's response, to instantly deflate. His eyes were filled with disappointment and grievance, and he couldn't help but call out softly, his voice tinged with sorrow:

"Nannan..." But Jiang Nannan acted as if she hadn't heard him. She offered no response at all and stood directly beside Tang Ya, making the atmosphere instantly awkward and subtle.

Bei Bei and Su Ming exchanged a glance, both choosing to keep their mouths shut and focus intently on their own business.

They pretended that nothing was happening, not daring to get involved in the conflict between the two for fear of accidentally getting burned.

"Brother Bei Bei, Teacher Tang Ya, you are here too." Just as the atmosphere reached its peak of awkwardness, a clear and shy voice drifted over from the crowd, instantly shattering the stagnant air.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound and saw the slightly small-framed Huo Yuhao walking over quickly. Behind him followed a youth with an extremely handsome face and a cold, aloof temperament.

Su Ming only glanced at him once before he understood everything. Even without thinking, he could conclude that this person was Wang Dong.

After all, with such outstanding looks and walking alongside Huo Yuhao, it could be no one else. Yet, a trace of doubt couldn't help but surface in his mind. According to the original trajectory, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong should have been at each other's throats the first time they met, even coming to blows. But looking at the atmosphere of them walking side-by-side, they were clearly getting along peacefully, with no sign of conflict at all.

However, Su Ming only gave it a passing thought and didn't dwell on it; after all, the state of their relationship had nothing to do with him.

Bei Bei reacted quickly, immediately waving at them with a smile and greeting them warmly: "Yuhao, and this classmate, come over and sit with us."

Wang Dong said politely: "Hello, Senior Bei Bei, I am Huo Yuhao's roommate." He then nodded to the others as well.

As he invited them over, Bei Bei took several simple Soul Tool stools that the three of them had made from his storage Soul Tool.

Everyone sat down, and the table, which wasn't particularly large, was suddenly filled with seven people, making it lively and bustling.

Su Ming scanned the people around the table calmly, silently calculating that five of the future Shrek Seven Devils were already present, with only Xiao Xiao and He Caitou missing.

But Su Ming knew clearly that ever since he intervened in this world and integrated into the Shrek outer courtyard, everything had quietly changed.

He wondered if the seven people who were supposed to be the next generation of Shrek reserves would still be able to form a team successfully.

He himself had no attachment to the title of Shrek Seven Devils, but he was certain to participate in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Tournament.

In this way, the original seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils were destined to be unable to form a complete team again.

The most likely outcome was that he would completely replace the original He Caitou, but these thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment.

Su Ming soon stopped pondering, as the hunger in his stomach was becoming increasingly intense, leaving him no energy to think about other things.

The next second, Su Ming stopped caring about the gazes of others, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to devour his food in front of everyone.

His way of eating was wild and ravenous; he didn't care about his image at all, wanting only to fill his empty stomach as quickly as possible.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were both freshmen who had just enrolled and usually adhered to etiquette while eating. Now, eating with seniors and teachers like Bei Bei and Tang Ya, they appeared even more cautious and reserved.

Jiang Nannan was naturally cold and gentle in her manners, and Tang Ya also ate in a slow and orderly fashion; everyone else was exceptionally restrained.

This stark contrast made Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stare at Su Ming's uninhibited way of eating.

Their eyes were full of shock and surprise; clearly, they had never seen someone with such a massive appetite who ate so casually.

Meanwhile, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were long since used to it, as they often dined together.

They had grown accustomed to Su Ming's wild eating habits, and there was not a hint of extra emotion on their faces.

Bei Bei brought Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to the table, staring dumbfounded at Su Ming, who was buried in his food.

Looking at the two ignorant youths beside him, he immediately understood that they must be surprised by the scene before them.

He coughed lightly to break the slightly subtle atmosphere, a gentle smile on his face as he awkwardly raised his hand toward Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, introducing his companions one by one.

"This is Su Ming, my roommate who lives in the same dorm as me." Bei Bei first pointed to Su Ming, who was still focused on his meal, his tone carrying a hint of helpless teasing, "Don't let his ravenous eating fool you, as if he were a starving ghost reincarnated; he is actually steady and reliable when doing things, a very trustworthy partner."

Su Ming's ears twitched. Hearing Bei Bei introduce him this way, he stopped his movements, looked up, and nodded slightly toward Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, acknowledging them.

He casually picked up the juice on the table, tilted his head back, and drank two glasses in a row to moisten his throat, completely indifferent to the gazes of others.

Then, he lowered his head again, focusing intently on dealing with the delicacies on the table, the picture of a man who prioritized eating above all else.

Bei Bei was not surprised by this, turning instead to point at the roguish-looking youth beside Huo Yuhao, saying:

"Yuhao, this guy next to you who looks like a rascal is also my roommate, named Xu Sanshi."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately put away his nonchalant demeanor, waved heartily at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and greeted them in a lighthearted tone:

"Hi, two juniors, from now on we are all fellow disciples, please take care of each other!"

Finally, Bei Bei looked at Tang Ya, who was smiling gently, and then at the slender, beautiful girl beside her, adding softly:

"You have already met Teacher Tang Ya before. As for this outstanding beauty beside Teacher Tang Ya, her name is Jiang Nannan, and she is also our fellow disciple at Shrek."
