Sunset... or Light

They arrived at the cafeteria.

Qian Renxue told Poseinan to sit obediently in his seat and wait while she went to get their food.

The people around them cast strange looks their way.

Poseinan was truly a bit speechless.

Why did it feel like he was being taken care of like an infant?

It wasn't as if he lacked hands or feet.

However, this brief moment of displeasure vanished into thin air the moment Qian Renxue brought the food over.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

Qian Renxue boasted triumphantly, "Hehe, delicious, right? Let me tell you, these dishes are all my mother's favorites. My father said that when my mother was young, she was the pickiest eater, so he memorized every dish she loved. I memorized them too!"

Poseinan asked, "What about you, though?"

Qian Renxue didn't catch on at first. "What?"

"I asked what you like to eat yourself."

"Hmm... well, I like all the dishes my mother likes!"

Qian Renxue tried hard to think, but after pondering for a long time without coming up with anything, she just gave a casual answer.

Poseinan frowned slightly. "That won't do. If you go through life without even knowing what you like to eat, how can that be?"

He stood up, took his tray, and went to get a portion of every dish he remembered children liking, then set them down in front of Qian Renxue.

"Come on, try them and see which one you like best."

Poseinan looked completely serious.

The spot where they sat was a bit secluded and the lighting was dim, but if anyone had been observing closely, they would have noticed a clear look of surprise and shyness appearing on Qian Renxue's round cheeks. "Alright then."

She tried seven or eight dishes, but none of them gave her that "brightening" feeling.

Just as she was about to give up, Poseinan pushed his final, signature dish toward her. "Try this, braised pork trotters! And remember, you have to eat it with rice and pickled vegetables."

In this world, nobles generally didn't eat pork.

Therefore, he was certain Qian Renxue had never tasted it before.

"Is this really edible?"

Qian Renxue looked at the mess of food in front of her with suspicion.

It was reddish and white, and it didn't look very appetizing at all.

"Of course, just try it. It's absolutely delicious!"

"Fine."

Qian Renxue closed her eyes and took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Mmm... so good!"

She sped up her pace of eating.

In the blink of an eye, she had polished off the entire bowl of pork trotter rice.

"Wow, I haven't been this full in a long time!"

Qian Renxue mimicked Poseinan, leaning back against the table and rubbing her belly with one hand.

You have to admit, it really felt comfortable!

"Good, right?"

Qian Renxue nodded, her heart full of joy as she said, "Mmm-hmm! This is the first time I've ever eaten meat this delicious. It's rich but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth—it's way better than beef! Honestly, I want another bowl!"

Poseinan glanced sideways at her round belly and reminded her, "It might be delicious, but don't eat too much, or you'll end up becoming a little chubby girl."

Noticing his gaze, Qian Renxue was instantly enraged.

She glared at him, cheeks puffed out. "So what if I get fat? Am I eating your rice?"

"Besides, this young lady isn't fat at all, okay!"

Qian Renxue threatened Poseinan with her pink fist once again.

A woman's mouth is a deceptive ghost.

He rolled his eyes helplessly and replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, you're not fat, you're not fat."

"Hmph, that's more like it."

After resting for a while, the two walked out of the cafeteria.

It was time to part ways.

Qian Renxue's expression was somewhat melancholy.

She had to go learn her undercover courses in the afternoon.

"Hey, Poseinan, why don't you come to class with me?"

"No way. Classes are boring and useless."

"Alright then..."

"Fine, just tell me the location. I'll come find you after school."

"Yay! Poseinan, does that mean we're friends now?"

After Qian Renxue told him the address, she looked at him with a mix of anticipation and anxiety.

"Yeah, yeah, sure."

Unable to bring himself to refuse, Poseinan said it offhandedly.

"Hehe, I knew that with my unremitting efforts, you'd agree to be my first friend!"

Qian Renxue ran forward, her eyes filled with joy. After running more than ten meters away, she suddenly turned around and waved: "Bye-bye!"

Poseinan helplessly raised his hand and gave a perfunctory wave. Only when the girl disappeared from his sight did he couldn't help but curl his lip:

"Tch, so dramatic."

However, as he turned around, the corners of his mouth curled upward into a slight arc.

After parting ways with Qian Renxue.

Poseinan wandered around Spirit City and, without realizing it, walked to a training ground.

"Faster! Move faster! If you don't speed up, you'll be the first batch eliminated from the Devil Training Camp!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you—whoever finishes last gets no food for the entire day! And you'll keep training tomorrow!"

Hearing the thunderous slogans inside, he couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

Devil Training Camp?

The future Golden Generation seems to have come from here, right?

Because he was wearing luxurious clothing brought down from the God Realm, Poseinan wasn't stopped by anyone.

The guards simply assumed he was some young master from a noble family coming to watch the spectacle.

On the training field, a row of boys and girls were running while carrying heavy loads.

Everyone was wearing thin clothes, running while drenched in sweat.

In this Devil Training Camp, where everyone viewed each other as rivals.

In the corner, however, two boys and one girl were particularly eye-catching.

The little girl with a ponytail couldn't stop her legs from trembling: "Brother, I can't hold on anymore. You guys go ahead, don't worry about me."

The boy the girl called brother scolded: "Nana, don't talk about giving up so easily. Just hold on a little longer!"

The red-haired boy beside them couldn't bear it and suggested: "Xie Yue, how about this? Let's support Nana and run together."

Xie Yue looked at Yan, who was even sturdier than himself, hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright!"

The others running the laps looked at this scene in surprise.

Although the Devil Training Camp didn't explicitly forbid helping others.

However, in the instructor's eyes, this was a challenge to his authority.

The instructor roared: "If you don't abandon her, then all of you add twenty more laps!"

"Yes!"

Xie Yue and Yan exchanged a glance, responded loudly, and then supported Hu Liena as they ran even harder.

For the two of them, abandoning Hu Liena was never an option.

It was the first time the instructor had seen such stubborn people, and he gritted his teeth: "Fine, fine, fine! I'd like to see if you can actually finish."

It wasn't until everyone else had finished and gone to eat.

"None of you three are allowed to eat today."

The instructor was losing his patience, threw out those words, and went to eat himself.

After a long while, the three of them finally finished running, gasping for air.

Unfortunately, the three of them couldn't eat.

They could only swallow their saliva, silently watching those in the distance who were eating.

Hu Liena's eyes turned red, and she felt incredibly guilty: "Brother, Yan, I'm sorry... it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you would have been able to eat."

Xie Yue didn't speak; he patted his sister's shoulder, wanting her not to be so self-reproachful.

Yan patted his chest: "Nana, stop saying that. It's just one day without food, right? When has Yan ever been afraid of that?"

Just then, three steaming chicken drumsticks were handed over.

"I bought too much for lunch. Do you guys want to try some?"

The three of them looked up.

Under the setting sun, Poseinan's fair face was bathed in a faint halo of light.

At this moment, the three exhausted people couldn't tell if this was the sunset... or the light itself!
