Sea Horse Douluo, Glorious Intern Security Guard!

Sea Horse Douluo's righteous and stern declaration, filled with the spirit of "fearless sacrifice," echoed endlessly within the Maple Dye Pavilion.

Listen to that familiar, shameless rhetoric, using some idiot as an excuse.

The Spirit Hall members felt their heads buzzing, and their gazes towards Bo Saixi and Sea Horse Douluo became subtle.

The Subduing Demon Douluo couldn't resist any longer. He leaned close to his older brother, the Thousand Might Douluo, and nudged him with his elbow, lowering his voice with a look of utter disbelief on his face.

"Brother, I have a feeling..."

"Are all the people from Sea God Island shameless?"

Thousand Might Douluo's gaze fell on the approving expression of "a promising young man" that appeared on Bo Saixi's face after Sea Horse Douluo's speech.

When he saw that Bo Saixi even nodded slightly, indicating agreement and praise, he was deeply moved.

Thousand Might Douluo turned back expressionlessly to look at his silly younger brother and corrected him.

Remove the word "seems".

Subduing Demon Douluo: "..."

Goodness!

He exclaimed, "Wow!"

Having received the High Priest's "affirmation," Sea Horse Douluo felt his whole body brimming with energy.

He nimbly got up from the ground, his eyes no longer filled with confusion, but only with a longing for food and aspirations for the future.

He rubbed his hands together, strode to an empty table, sat down, raised his hand high, and shouted at the top of his lungs towards the counter.

"Boss! Give me three bowls of Egg Fried Rice! Extra eggs! Double the eggs!"

However, he had barely finished speaking.

A golden afterimage instantly magnified in his pupils.

Sea Horse Douluo felt his collar tighten, and an irresistible force came over him, once again uncontrollably lifting him up from the chair.

He looked up in astonishment.

What came into view was Qian Daoliu's old face, so gloomy it was almost as if you could wring water out of it.

"You..."

Sea Horse Douluo was about to ask what you wanted to do.

Qian Daoliu's voice, cold yet tinged with anger, rang out close to his ear, each word distinct and deliberate.

"Kid."

Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in his golden pupils.

"Just now, you ate a spoonful of Egg Fried Rice that Xi Xi gave you."

Sea Horse Douluo was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.

Yes, the taste was absolutely amazing!

He was still pondering when Qian Daoliu's next words completely stunned him.

"That spoonful of rice was scooped from my bowl by Xi Xi."

Qian Daoliu's voice was low, yet it was filled with an undeniable domineering authority.

"So, you're eating my food."

Sea Horse Douluo: "???"

Place...

So what?

Sea Horse Douluo's mind didn't quite process what was happening, his face filled with confusion and innocence.

But in Qian Daoliu's eyes, his expression was nothing short of blatant provocation and feigned ignorance.

Qian Daoliu's face darkened even more.

He grabbed Sea Horse Douluo by the collar, pulled him close, and almost pressed his face against his, squeezing out a sound through clenched teeth.

"I don't care who gave it to you."

"You ate my food, so you have to pay it back."

Qian Daoliu held up two fingers and waved them in front of Sea Horse Douluo.

"When your food arrives, you'll have to give me back at least two spoonfuls!"

"This is interest, understand?"

Sea Horse Douluo completely petrified on the spot.

He stared wide-eyed at the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, whose face seemed to say "I'm not to be trifled with," feeling as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single word.

This...

What the hell is this?!

Looking at Qian Daoliu, Sea Horse Douluo subconsciously turned his pleading gaze to his High Priest.

However, Bo Saixi seemed completely oblivious to what was happening.

She simply and quietly, elegantly, ate the Egg Fried Rice Egg Fried Rice one bite at a time, a satisfied and content expression on her face.

The meaning is quite obvious.

You got yourself into this mess, so you have to deal with it yourself.

Sea Horse Douluo's heart sank instantly.

Just then, Qian Daoliu turned Sea Horse Douluo's face back, lowered his voice, and spoke with the dissatisfaction of a "superior".

Why are you looking at her?

Sea Horse Douluo was a little stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Qian Daoliu straightened his chest, pointed to himself with his finger, and then pointed to Bo Saixi.

"Get your facts straight, kid."

"I am the head of the security team at this store."

"She," he gestured with his chin toward Bo Saixi, a hint of smugness on his face, "Is the vice-captain."

Qian Daoliu's gaze returned to Sea Horse Douluo, filled with scrutiny.

"And you, you're a newly hired, intern security guard who hasn't even passed your probation period."

"So, I'm your boss, understand?"

Sea Horse Douluo was completely stunned.

His resolute face was filled with huge question marks, "Who am I? Where am I? What did I just hear?"

"I... when did I become a security guard?"

"Um?"

Qian Daoliu glared at him, his expression saying, "You little brat, you're trying to renege on your debt."

"Weren't you supposed to stay and assist the High Priest... cough, assist the Vice-Captain in capturing the traitor?"

"This is an internal matter for our security department. As a trainee security guard, you not only fail to contribute, but you also want to question your superiors?"

Qian Daoliu a step closer, his voice Youyou into Sea Horse Douluo's ears with a hint of deadly threat.

"Or... do you simply not want to stay here anymore?"

"From now on, I don't want to eat anymore?"

That last sentence hit Sea Horse Douluo's Achilles' heel.

He shuddered, his expression instantly shifting from bewilderment to fawning, a speed comparable to Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

No, no, no!

"Captain! Captain Qian Daoliu!"

Sea Horse Douluo grabbed Qian Daoliu's arm, his attitude incredibly sincere, and said with a mournful face, "I was wrong! I was wrong, okay?!"

"I am a security guard! I am a proud trainee security guard!"

He finally understood that from the moment he decided to stay, he was no longer one of the Seven Sacred Pillars protected by the high priest.

Here, he was just an ordinary, even somewhat low-ranking... intern security guard.

The blond old man in front of them was the hotel's security captain.

He was his immediate supervisor.

A higher-ranking official can have absolute power over you!

"From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west! If you tell me to chase a dog, I will never catch a chicken!"

"My food is your food!"

"Don't even mention two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls! I'll give you all three spoonfuls!"

"You're the captain, you're in charge!"

Hearing these tactful words, the gloom on Qian Daoliu's face finally dissipated.

He released his grip with satisfaction, and even helped Sea Horse Douluo straighten the collar he had crumpled. He patted Seahorse Douluo on the shoulder and spoke earnestly in a tone of someone who had been through it all.

"That's more like it."

"Young people should know the rules."

After saying that, Qian Daoliu put his hands behind his back, took a leisurely stroll, and returned to his seat with a satisfied expression.

Only Sea Horse Douluo was left, bewildered in the wind.

He returned to his seat, tears welling up in his eyes, feeling utterly dejected by life's hardships.

On the other side.

Having witnessed everything, Thousand Might Douluo silently picked up his teacup and took a sip.

He glanced at his elder Big Brother's smug and arrogant expression not far away, then looked at the Sea Horse Douluo beside him, who looked aggrieved but dared not speak out.

The corner of Thousand Might Douluo's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He turned his head and whispered a sentence to the Subduing Demon Douluo who was still gloating over the show.

"Certainly."

"We'd better not laugh at others."

The smile on the Subduing Demon Douluo's face froze.

Yes.

The people of Sea God Island are shameless.

But what about their Spirit Hall?

For a spoonful of Egg Fried Rice, the Big Brother resorted to threats and deception to swindle the Sea Horse Douluo.

His Holiness the Pope even more significant, directly taking the Spirit Hall's wealth just to buy a monthly subscription...

Thinking about it that way...

It seems... we're all cut from the same cloth.

No one should laugh at anyone else.

The Subduing Demon Douluo silently lowered his head and began to focus on the food in his bowl, no longer daring to utter another word.

Just as the atmosphere inside the restaurant returned to that "harmonious" yet eerily dry atmosphere...

"Hiccup~"
