The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 145 Sword Fighting Pavilion Barbecue Restaurant—Mu Cheng's Twin Ponytails!!! Look at them!

Ye Xiu declared that he would never again challenge Mo Qian to a contest of such skill.

"Hey Mo, how about we have a tactical competition next time?"

Ye Xiu approached Mo Qian with a wicked grin. Mo Qian immediately recognized Ye Xiu's malice—no, he immediately saw Ye Xiu's ill intentions. When Ye Xiu shows that kind of smile, you should be careful, because Ye Xiu might very well attack you.
Looking into Ye Xiu's "sincere" eyes, Mo Qian directly and righteously refused.
"Old Ye, I'm genuinely comparing output with you, and you're trying to outsmart me?"

Mo Qian isn't stupid. Who is Ye Xiu? He's one of the tactical masters, almost universally regarded as the top tactical master. Trying to outsmart or outmaneuver Ye Xiu is a pipe dream for Mo Qian; he'd probably be completely fooled and still be counting money for Ye Xiu.

"Hey, what are you doing, Lao Mo? I just wanted to see your tactics, why would I try to play mind games with you—"

Even a dog wouldn't believe Ye Xiu's words, and Mo Qian certainly wouldn't believe them either.

"Let's go, Lao Ye, let's have some barbecue first—everyone, let's go! Tonight's bill is on Young Master Ye!!"

Before Ye Xiu could even react, he had already been completely outmaneuvered.

Baozi shouted "Long live!" Tang Rou smiled as she watched Ye Xiu's helpless expression. Tonight, Old Ye probably couldn't escape his fate; he'd have to bleed money from him.

"Let's go, let's go to the Sword Fighting Pavilion—"

That's right, it's the Sword Fighting Pavilion. It's also the name of Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's fan club. The daughter of the barbecue restaurant owner happens to be a fan of Ye Xiu and Mo Qian.

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian naturally knew the shop owner. Of course, knowing him was one thing, but Ye Xiu would never skimp on the money he was owed; this was a matter of principle for both of them. Running a business wasn't easy, and Ye Xiu and Mo Qian both knew that, which was why they frequently patronized the shop.

Post-match interview,

Everyone on Team Happy gave the same answer, and the interview was quick and decisive; even the reporters were astonished by the speed of the interview.
"Do you think Team Happy is hungry and needs to go get some food? — Why did the interview go by so fast? —"

The reporter interviewing Team Excellent Era, watching the reporter who had just finished interviewing Team Happy leave early, was practically grinding his teeth in frustration. Why was he being treated this way?!

The reporter from Team Excellent Era was still watching Tao Xuan as he eloquently recounted the history of Team Excellent Era, from the Hundred Herbs Garden to the Three Flavors Study!
"We absolutely have to interview Team Happy next time!" all the reporters thought to themselves. The temptation to leave work early was just too great; no one could resist.

Doujian Pavilion Barbecue Restaurant

A group of dogs stealthily slipped into the barbecue restaurant through the back door; anyone who didn't know better would have thought a burglar had broken in.

It was a little girl who opened the back door. The girl was fair-skinned and delicate, with a chubby baby face and adorable eyes that seemed to speak volumes. Cute was the perfect word to describe her.

"Brother Ye, Brother Mo, you've finally arrived—Nuonuo has been waiting for so long."

Only then did Ye Xiu, Mo Qian, and the others dare to remove their black masks. They couldn't help it; the fans these days were just too terrifying. Ye Xiu even felt he could be recognized even if he were reduced to ashes. Ye Xiu had always been particularly curious about one thing: how exactly did their fans recognize them?

Ye Xiu and his team were recognized as soon as they left the arena. This was to be expected; what fan would look like a thief dressed in black with a black mask? A little thought revealed they were definitely members of Team Happy. "Sorry, Little Nuonuo, we were surrounded on the way, and it was very difficult to break through!"

Mo Qian pinched the little girl's soft, round face and explained with a smile,
"Alright then, come on over, Daddy already saved some seats for you—"

Mo Qian and the others followed Xiao Nuonuo to an extremely exquisite private room. It was clearly a top-tier room, understated yet luxurious and sophisticated.

Ye Xiu touched his purse; today was destined to be a day of heavy spending for his savings.
"Wow! Boss, you're so great!"

Baozi had never been to a place like this before, and couldn't help but exclaim, "The boss is truly the boss; he can even find a place like this!"
This private room was clearly specially decorated by the owner, specifically for Ye Xiu and the others. In fact, the owner is obviously not short of money, and has repeatedly stated that it's not necessary to pay; it's enough that Ye Xiu and Mo Qian are happy to have fun with his Nuonuo.

However, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian firmly refused. Although they were quite famous, neither Ye Xiu nor Mo Qian ever felt that they were any different from ordinary people, except that they had the identity of e-sports players. Ye Xiu and Mo Qian were very clear about their identity and had the self-awareness to not overstep that line.

However, even though the shop owner couldn't refuse Ye Xiu and Mo Qian, he only offered the lowest market price.

Kindness is contagious; Ye Xiu and Mo Qian firmly believe in this.

Just as everyone was having a good time, someone knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong."

"Brother Mo, I'll go open the door—"
Nuonuo eagerly jumped down from the seat next to Mo Qian, ran to the door, quickly opened it, and was surprised to see the person she had been longing for.
"Wow!!!!"

Nuonuo shouted loudly, and Mo Qian and Ye Xiu both asked Nuonuo with smiles:

"Who is Nuonuo? What could possibly surprise her like this?"

When that person entered the room, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian realized why Nuonuo had screamed.

Su Mucheng's long, flowing orange hair was tied into pigtails, swaying gently as she approached. Her eyes were bright as stars, seemingly sparkling when she saw Mo Qian. Her smile was warm and sincere, like the spring sunshine, drawing people closer.

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian stared wide-eyed, not only in shock at seeing Mu Cheng's twin ponytails, but also in bewilderment at her presence.
"What's wrong? Why are you opening your mouth so wide? Don't you welcome me?"

Mu Cheng laughed jokingly.

Chen Guo took Mu Cheng from her immediately, her almond-shaped eyes giving Mo Qian and Ye Xiu a slight glare.
"Ignore those two straight men, Mu Cheng, Mu Cheng, come sit over here with me, hehe! Mu Cheng—"

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian stared speechlessly at their boss; the differential treatment was just too obvious, boss!

Actually, Mu Cheng still wanted to sit next to Mo Qian, but unfortunately, Nuonuo was sitting to Mo Qian's left and Ye Xiu to his right, so both seats were taken.
