Shrimp Paste Pork Heart! Yue Guan Happily Receives Limited Edition Handkerchief

"Yue Guan, it's your turn."

Lin Feng's languid voice sounded like a heavenly melody, pulling Chrysanthemum Douluo back from the brink of a breakdown.

Right!

It's my turn!

Chrysanthemum Douluo shoved aside the still-agitated Ghost Douluo, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the tumultuous jealousy and regret churning in his heart.

It's just an eighty-thousand-year spirit bone, isn't it?

What's so great about that!

My martial soul is the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum! It's an immortal-grade herb!

That stalk of Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum is worth far more than this spirit bone!

I was foolish yesterday; I was courting death, which is why I missed the opportunity.

But it doesn't matter!

As long as I eat honestly and draw prizes properly from now on, the Senior will surely reward me with that immortal herb!

Yes! That must be it!

After some self-consolation, Chrysanthemum Douluo's mood finally calmed down a little.

He smoothed out the robes wrinkled by Ghost Douluo, regained the poise befitting a Title Douluo, and walked to the counter with elegant strides.

Even though his heart was bleeding, his face had to remain calm and indifferent.

This was the final stubbornness of Yue Guan!

"Senior, it is my turn."

He took a bag of Gold Soul Coins he had prepared long ago from his storage soul tool and placed it carefully on the counter.

Exactly nine thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Spending nine thousand Gold Soul Coins on a salad.

If someone had told him this yesterday, he wouldn't have believed it even if they beat him to death.

But now, he only felt... it was worth every penny!

Lin Feng glanced at the bag of Gold Soul Coins and recited silently in his heart.

"System, draw the prize."

[Expenditure: 9,000 Gold Soul Coins.]

The system's female voice rang in Lin Feng's mind, carrying a hint of schadenfreude.

[System Evaluation: This chrysanthemum leek is quite obedient today, but unfortunately, his name is already on the Observation List, so the reward will be significantly discounted.]

[Random Reward: One "Yue Guan's Sigh" handkerchief, never-wearing.]

[Host Reward: 900 Gourmet Points.]

Pfft—

Seeing this reward, Lin Feng almost burst out laughing on the spot.

Yue Guan's Sigh?

A never-wearing handkerchief?

This damn system is too savage!

He suppressed his laughter, raised his eyelids, and looked at the expectant Chrysanthemum Douluo in front of him.

That enchanting face was filled with the longing of "give me the immortal herb quickly."

Lin Feng cleared his throat, trying hard to make his voice sound calm and ripple-free.

"Your reward..."

He deliberately drew out the sound, enjoying the way Chrysanthemum Douluo was holding his breath in nervousness.

"...is 'Yue Guan's Sigh'."

Yue Guan's Sigh?

Chrysanthemum Douluo was stunned.

What kind of thing is this? An immortal herb? Or a spirit bone? And why does it have my name on it?

Besides, just hearing the name, it feels full of poetry and class!

He felt his heart skip a beat. Could it be... that happiness has come so suddenly?

Even Ghost Douluo and the three members of the Golden Generation nearby pricked up their ears, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Lin Feng waved his right hand gently.

There were no earth-shattering visions, nor any dazzling, brilliant light.

Only a touch of soft moonlight condensed on the counter.

Immediately following this, a neatly folded silk handkerchief drifted down and landed lightly on the counter.

The handkerchief was snow-white, woven from unknown threads, and felt as warm and smooth as jade to the touch.

In the corner of the handkerchief, a lifelike chrysanthemum was embroidered in gold thread, with two delicate characters stitched beside it: Yue Guan.

The entire restaurant fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's gaze was nailed firmly to that handkerchief.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan had their eyes wide open, their mouths agape in "O" shapes, their expressions nothing short of spectacular.

Ghost Douluo was completely stunned.

He leaned forward, reached out a finger to gingerly touch the handkerchief, then looked at the eighty-thousand-year spirit bone in his own hand, and back at the handkerchief...

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The air seemed to have frozen.

The anticipation on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face vanished bit by bit, replaced by bewilderment, confusion, and disbelief.

He reached out with trembling hands and picked up the handkerchief.

It felt cool and silky to the touch, of exquisite quality, and even emitted a faint, refreshing fragrance.

It was a good handkerchief.

A top-tier, luxurious, and perfectly aesthetic handkerchief that suited his tastes.

But...

What I wanted was an immortal herb!

Who the hell wants a handkerchief!

"Senior..." Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice trembled, and he asked, almost on the verge of tears, "What... what is the meaning of this?"

Lin Feng looked at his teary-eyed appearance, suppressed his laughter, and explained with a straight face:

"This item is called 'Yue Guan's Sigh,' and it is a rare treasure."

"It never wears out, never gathers dust, and is best suited for..."

Lin Feng paused, looking at him with a gaze full of compassion.

"...wiping away tears of sorrow."

Pfft!

Yan, who had been holding back his laughter, could no longer contain himself and burst out laughing.

"Yan!"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena reacted instantly, each jabbing Yan hard in the ribs with their elbows.

Yan was nearly winded, quickly covering his mouth, but his shaking shoulders completely betrayed him.

Hu Liena turned away, pretending to look at the scenery, but who couldn't see her shoulders heaving as she stifled her giggles?

"Wiping away... tears of sorrow?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered to himself, feeling his worldview collapse in that very moment.

Yesterday, he still had the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum.

Today, Ghost Douluo had the Hell Ghost Shadow Left Arm Bone.

And now...

It had turned into a handkerchief for wiping tears?!

What kind of joke was this?

Adding insult to injury?

Just then, Ghost Douluo reached out and curiously tugged at the handkerchief, only to discover that even with his power as a Title Douluo, he couldn't leave a single wrinkle on it!

"In a sense! This handkerchief is actually quite impressive."

Ghost Douluo exclaimed with genuine admiration, "Look, according to Senior, this handkerchief is impervious to water and fire, and cannot be damaged by blades! At a critical moment, it might even serve as a shield!"

As he spoke, he patted Chrysanthemum Douluo on the shoulder with an expression that said, "I'm happy for you."

That pat was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"Waaa—"

Chrysanthemum Douluo could no longer hold it in and burst into tears on the spot.

A level ninety-five Title Douluo, a high-ranking elder of Spirit Hall, was now crying his heart out like a child who had suffered a great injustice.

As he sobbed, he instinctively used the brand-new handkerchief to wipe his tears.

And you have to admit, it worked quite well.

It was highly absorbent and didn't get dirty at all.

Ghost Douluo and the three members of the Golden Generation were left completely dumbfounded.

This... how is he actually crying?

Lin Feng's eye twitched; he never expected Chrysanthemum Douluo's mental fortitude to be this fragile.

To be honest, he felt a little bad for him.

Therefore, Lin Feng decided to say something.

"Ahem."

Lin Feng cleared his throat.

The moment he made a sound, everyone in the restaurant instantly fixed their gazes upon him.

Even Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had been sobbing until he was out of breath, forcibly stopped his crying. He lifted his tear-streaked face and looked at Lin Feng with bloodshot eyes, filled with hope.

Could it be... has the Senior finally seen my sincerity and is prepared to return the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum to me?

In an instant, a flicker of hope reignited in Chrysanthemum Douluo's heart.

However, Lin Feng's next words were like a basin of ice water, drenching him from head to toe and chilling him to the bone.

"Just a reminder: the reason your reward was so poor is that you are still on the Observation List."

"Until the observation period ends, the grade of any reward you obtain from the lottery will be reduced."
