"No, what are you doing here?"

Li Xingkong stopped in his tracks. What was this guy up to? He had just come looking for him, and now he was back again. He was like a persistent ghost.

"Come eat, what else are you doing?"

Wan Chongshan, with an overly familiar expression, said, "Boss, I'm his friend. Can I come along if he's treating?"

"No problem, come in and have a seat."

The boss was only thinking about treating them to a meal and completely ignored the subtle relationship between the two.

Who cares? It's best not to meddle in the affairs of our seniors.

Now that things had come to this, Li Xingkong couldn't just leave like that. After all, this was an extremely powerful expert, and for him to stand before him with such a friendly attitude was already giving him a lot of face.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Sitting down at the dining table, Li Xingkong watched as Wan Chongshan nonchalantly picked up the cutlery and began wiping it, acting like a seasoned gourmet, completely ignoring Li Xingkong beside him.

On the contrary, Li Xingkong seemed a bit reserved and constrained.

Without uttering a word, Li Xingkong stared at his chopsticks, seemingly lost in thought, while Wan Chongshan watched Li Xingkong with great interest, also remaining silent.

The awkward atmosphere wasn't broken until the owner brought the dishes to the table.

"Senior, this is our current signature dish, spicy squid rolls."

The owner pointed to the squid tentacle, which was lying on the grill and was at least two or three meters long, and said...

"These are all Divine Land techniques, combined with the giant octopus, a specialty of this planet. The taste is amazing! Don't be fooled by how small this thing is; the octopus is huge, probably tens of meters tall."

"We're the only ones on the entire planet who can sustain this; no one else can be subdued."

Since the boss said so, Li Xingkong naturally had to try it; it was indeed a charcoal-grilled giant octopus.

Before the chopsticks could even touch the food, Wan Chongshan's hand was a step faster than Li Xingkong's, snatching the piece away from Li Xingkong.

Li Xingkong had no choice but to choose other options, but each time Wan Chongshan snatched them away first.

"Sir, if you're feeling hungry, I'll ask the owner to bring you another serving."

Li Xingkong was speechless; he hadn't even seen her mouth move, how could she eat so fast?

"Need not."

Wan Chongshan laughed heartily; she just wanted to see Li Xingkong make a fool of himself. As for eating, if she wanted to eat to her heart's content, she could devour the entire galaxy.

Li Xingkong tried several more times, using both his Divine Sense and Magic Power, but he still couldn't snatch a bite from her.

Damn it! Can't we even eat this?!

"Senior, you're so busy, what can I do for you? Just tell me, and if it's within my power, I'll definitely do it for you."

Li Xingkong behaved very obediently.

"There is something I need to take care of, but it's not important. Come on, let's eat first."

Wan Chongshan clearly had no intention of letting Li Xingkong; his chopsticks were already prepared.

"Okay, okay, let's eat then."

Li Xingkong also became competitive. Chopsticks? Hmph, what's the point of using chopsticks if you can't win?

He threw his chopsticks aside, then craned his neck forward and took a bite.

If you can't beat her, then just grab the plate and eat it; let's see what she can do then.

Perhaps startled by Li Xingkong's action, Wan Chongshan didn't rush forward to snatch it; instead, he laughed even harder.

Li Xingkong finally managed to eat a plate, and felt much better. Just as he put down the plate and looked at Wan Chongshan, he discovered that she was holding a projection in her hand, which showed Li Xingkong's disheveled appearance when he had just snatched the food.

"Good, good, excellent, a reward is due."

Wan Chongshan smiled as he put away the projector and laid down his chopsticks.

"I'll let you eat in peace. After you finish, I'll send you on your way."

Li Xingkong's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked a little.

This is no joke; we're sending him on his way. Where to?

Li Xingkong even slowed down his eating pace, his mind frantically trying to contact the system.

But the system has disappeared without a trace, not uttering a single word, as if it had vanished.

No, what happened? It failed at the crucial moment.

As he ate casually, Li Xingkong felt a sense of unease for the first time.

Previously, he had faced any situation without fear. Was this truly due to his own strength? Or was it always because the system stood behind him, giving him ample confidence?

Li Xingkong didn't know, but he knew that this meal was probably the slowest he had ever eaten in his life.

Li Xingkong ate until the stars were setting in the west and the moon was half-rising before finally putting down his chopsticks.

It wasn't that the system returned; it was that Li Xingkong figured things out.

What's the point of delaying? Even if the system comes back, so what? It's just an avatar.

"Finished eating? You took a really long time to finish this meal."

Wan Chongshan looked at Li Xingkong with a smile.

"Oh no, it's been so long since I've tasted anything from home, so I'll naturally eat slower."

Li Xingkong tidied up a bit, then casually conjured a small spatial ring.

It's true that the boss is treating, but I can't just take it for granted and leave after eating.

This little ring is just a gift.

Li Xingkong left the ring on the table and stood up to tidy his appearance.

"Senior, please."

Wan Chongshan stood up with a smile, seemingly finding Li Xingkong's composure even more amusing.

"Okay, then close your eyes."

Li Xingkong naturally wouldn't just sit and wait to die. He had already begun to circulate the Magic Power within his body, ready to strike at the next moment.

His eyes were closed, but his Divine Sense remained. When did Li Xingkong ever need to use his eyes to perceive things?

However, Wan Chongshan didn't directly attack Li Xingkong. Instead, he reached out and snatched the spatial ring Li Xingkong had conjured. Then, with a few casual movements, he created an identical ring out of thin air and tossed it onto the table.

After doing all that, she raised her hand, ready to throw a punch.

Li Xingkong Magic Power and threw a punch at the attacker.

Even though he was a senior, it was clearly impossible for him to just sit and wait for death. He had to take a gamble no matter what.

The output of Magic Power was extremely rapid, creating a gust of wind around them.

Fortunately, when he made his move, Li Xingkong used his spatial abilities to pull himself and Wan Chongshan into another dimension, thus preventing any damage to the real world.

Li Xingkong's punch was basically delivered with all his might, but what happened next was far from what he had expected.

Wan Chongshan's seemingly effortless punch appeared to have no power at all, yet under Li Xingkong's blow, her arm began to disintegrate, and most of her body was torn to pieces.

But she was still conscious, and a smile was still on her face.

"Senior, you..."

Li Xingkong then realized something was wrong. Perhaps the system had exaggerated too much. Li Xingkong hadn't dared to use his Divine Sense to investigate her situation. Now that he had investigated, Li Xingkong discovered that this senior seemed to really just be an ordinary person.

She didn't have a lightning-fast figure, nor did she possess any earth-shattering cultivation; she was simply faster, without any special abilities whatsoever.

Just like, just like an ordinary Divine Land People.

"Not bad, quick and powerful punches, but next time, remember to aim for the head first."

Despite appearing to be on the verge of death, Wan Chongshan's tone remained unchanged; she simply spoke some nonsensical words in a gentle manner.

"I've achieved my goal of meeting you this time. In return, I'll give you a gift."

Wan Chongshan spoke, his remaining figure turned into dust, and then a strange knowledge was forcibly stuffed into Li Xingkong's head.

" The Thousand Mountains Method."
