"Wei! Fan!"

Feng Xiaotian was so furious that smoke practically poured from all seven of his facial openings. That had been a kiss from his dear Huo Wu!

He had never gotten one even in his dreams, yet she had just given it to Wei Fan.

Worst of all, she had done it right in front of him!

"Captain, don't do anything reckless!"

"Keep calm. We still have a chance."

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's state, several teammates hurried forward and dragged him away.

With Wei Fan's terrifying strength, if their captain lost his head, wouldn't he get the shit beaten out of him?

Once Feng Xiaotian left, Huo Wu's face flushed bright red.

"Wei Fan, just now, I..."

"I..."

"We came to invite you out for a meal."

"Right, big brother?"

Huo Wu looked at her brother behind her.

"..."

Huo Wushuang was completely dumbfounded.

Was she really his own sister?

What kind of sister threw her brother under the bus like this?

He hadn't said a single word since this started, and now he was suddenly paying for a meal.

He was speechless!

"You came to invite me out?"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Wei Fan loved treating people to meals.

Especially after obtaining a Soul Bone and learning what foods could increase its age, he had been inviting Huyan Li and the others to gnaw on bones every few days.

Following behind him, Huo Wu pressed her lips together. What had gotten into her just now?

She had always dared to speak and act, to love and hate, yet now she was getting all bashful.

Was this really her?

Wasn't she just asking whether Lu Yuan was willing to marry her?

Why had it suddenly become so hard to say?

At the restaurant.

"Wei Fan, you're here! What would you like today?"

The owner hurried over to greet Wei Fan as soon as he saw him.

This young man was their restaurant's God of Wealth!

Their little establishment owed all its success to Wei Fan.

"Ask my girlfriend!"

Wei Fan pointed behind him at Huo Wu, who was still annoyed at herself for being so bashful earlier.

"Huh?"

Huo Wu almost failed to react. Had Wei Fan just called her his girlfriend?

"Oh, you've got a girlfriend now!"

The owner smiled and looked Huo Wu over.

She really was beautiful!

That boy Wei Fan certainly had a sharp eye!

"Just got one!"

Wei Fan answered.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't hold it in until you hurt yourself."

"Big brother, keep this up and I'm going to turn on you!"

"What, did I say something wrong? Then tell Wei Fan you're not his girlfriend."

"I'm really going to turn on you!"

Throughout the meal, Huo Wu was utterly distracted.

If her brother hadn't stopped her, she would have already joined the Elephant Armor Team.

Wei Fan's Independent Dormitory.

"Boy, I heard you were looking for me?"

"Out with it. My time is precious."

An eerily seductive voice suddenly rang out, followed by a figure silently appearing beside the window.

"Elder Ju, come here!"

"I've got your meal ready."

Seeing Yue Guan, Wei Fan beckoned him over.

"Farewell!"

Without a second thought, Yue Guan turned to flee.

He had known this brat couldn't want anything good. It was always eating, eating, and more damned eating!

"Don't you want to taste singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, Elder Ju?"

Wei Fan wasn't worried about Yue Guan leaving at all. He had a trump card!

"Singular... velvet sky chrysanthemum?"

"Where is it?"

"If you dare lie to me, boy, you'd better prepare for a world of trouble."

Chrysanthemum light flashed, and Yue Guan appeared before Wei Fan, his facial muscles twitching with excitement.

He had been stuck at level 95, unable to break through no matter how he tried.

He had spent all these years searching for singular velvet sky chrysanthemum as well. If he could eat one, he might finally break through that longstanding bottleneck.

"Can't you smell it, Elder Ju?"

Wei Fan pointed at the large pot in front of him.

Yue Guan lifted the lid and looked inside...

He froze on the spot!

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum he yearned for day and night would meet him in this form.

A moment later...

"You little brat, you used singular velvet sky chrysanthemum to make fried rice?"

"Do you have any idea what it means to squander heaven's treasures?"

"This is an immortal herb! How could you mix it with something like plain rice?"

Yue Guan was so angry he wanted to strangle Wei Fan. Such a precious herb, and this little brat had used it to fry an enormous pot of rice.

What a sin!

He could clearly detect the scent of singular velvet sky chrysanthemum rising from the fried rice, but finding even a tiny leaf in such a huge pot was practically impossible.

This brat had really gone all out!

"Fine, I'll eat it!"

Yue Guan spoke through gritted teeth.

This was singular velvet sky chrysanthemum! Even fried into rice, it would still have the effects of an immortal herb.

"Wait. I never said I'd treat you."

Wei Fan smiled.

"What else do you want, boy?"

Yue Guan was growing impatient.

It would be cold if he didn't eat it soon, damn it!

"You can eat it, but you have to do something for me."

"What?"

"Help me gather a few medicinal herbs."

Wei Fan couldn't identify the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But that didn't matter!

He couldn't identify them, but Yue Guan had a profound knowledge of immortal herbs. He knew Yue Guan often studied these plants in Spirit Hall's ancient books.

"That's all?"

"That's all!"

"Fine! But you must keep my visit absolutely secret, especially from the Supreme Pontiff."

"Don't worry. No problem!"

Wei Fan agreed.

"Ghost Elder, aren't you coming out to have some?"

"You knew I was here?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out, and a ghostly figure emerged from a dark corner of the room.

"I guessed!"

"Ghost and Chrysanthemum are joined at the hip. That's no secret on the Douluo Continent."

Wei Fan shrugged.

"Boy, do you have any more?"

"If you give me one, I can help you too."

Gui Mei couldn't hold back any longer.

Seeing Yue Guan receive a whole pot of singular velvet sky chrysanthemum had made him envious.

"Nope!"

"This pot of chrysanthemum fried rice was prepared for both of you."

"Sit down and eat with him!"

Wei Fan had deliberately fried extra rice so he could treat both Titled Douluos.

"You little brat, you've worked your abacus awfully shrewdly."

"You want both of us to help you for just one immortal herb?"

"Not happening!"

Yue Guan began guarding his food.

Two people eating one pot of rice meant two people sharing one immortal herb.

"Well, there's only one immortal herb, and it's all fried into the rice."

Hearing that, Gui Mei hurriedly sat down, picked up an empty bowl, and began scooping out rice.

This was the immortal herb, singular velvet sky chrysanthemum!

Only a fool wouldn't eat it!

"Old Ghost, it won't do you any good. Leave more for me."

"Mm!"

Gui Mei nodded as he ate.

He had no time to pay attention to Yue Guan now.

This singular velvet sky chrysanthemum fried rice...

Just dig in!!!

An hour later...

[Ding~ Treated Yue Guan to singular velvet sky chrysanthemum fried rice. Reward: 10,000 years added to a Soul Ring.] [Ding~ Treated Gui Mei to singular velvet sky chrysanthemum fried rice.

"Burp~~~"

Yue Guan rubbed his bloated belly. Even he hadn't known he could eat so much.

He and Gui Mei had fought over the rice until they finished the entire enormous pot.

Such was the allure of singular velvet sky chrysanthemum!
