Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 28 The Girl’s Thoughts

The four of them walking on the street attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Especially Yu Keke and Paimon, a little fox girl and a flying violet melon, such a unique combination, naturally people can't help but take a few more glances wherever they go.

However, no one came up to provoke them, because next to them was Xue Qinghe who was introducing all kinds of strange things to them.

Xue Qinghe's attire looked like that of a top noble lord, and some people with a sharp eye could recognize him as the current Crown Prince.

Faced with these bigwigs, ordinary people don’t even have time to avoid them, let alone go up and cause trouble.

"Hey? Grandpa, what is this? It looks delicious."

Paimengdong looked around and saw an old man carrying a stick with fruits shining in the sun, which instantly aroused her appetite.

"Um... Your Excellency, this is candied haws."

When the old man saw Paimeng, he was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Xue Qinghe next to him, he immediately bowed and responded.

"Paimon, do you want to eat this?"

Xue Qinghe pointed at the candied haws.

"Hey, I want to try it..." Paimon was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and continued:
"Qinghe, how about you lend me some Mora, no, soul coins? We'll pay you back when the traveler makes money."

"We're friends, I'm treating you! Boss, give it to me... By the way, how much do you want?"

"Hmm~ Can we each have one?"

Paimon wanted to eat, but she didn't want to eat it alone. Delicious food should be shared with everyone.

"it is good."

Xue Qinghe took out a gold soul coin and handed it directly to the old man.

The old man had never seen anyone use gold soul coins to buy candied haws. You have to know that even if the candied haws on the whole stick were added together, they would only be worth a few hundred copper soul coins.

"Sir, this..."

Seeing this, the old man didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"what happened?"

Xue Qinghe was a little surprised. Wouldn’t he sell it to himself?
"I don't have that much money to return, so why don't you consider this as a treat for you..."

"...Old man, if there's more, just take it directly. No need to give me the change."

Xue Qinghe waved his hand. He had thought they wouldn't sell it to him. So this is what was going on...

But then he thought again, whether it was the old man in front of him or other passers-by, they seemed to have a natural fear of him. Was it because of their noble status?

Ever since he saw Kong cancel the slave contract, he had an inexplicable idea in his mind, but he just hadn't really grasped the outline of this idea yet.

Xue Qinghe thought for a moment, then picked four strings of candied haws from the stick and handed them all to Paimeng.

"Hey, thank you Qinghe." Paimeng only took three strings and handed one to Yu Keke. Then he flew to the side of Kong, deliberately flashed in front of Kong's eyes, and said:
"Traveler, this is delicious, sour and sweet. Do you want some?"

"……Let me try."

Kong took the candied haws and took a bite. It turned out that the candied haws here tasted really good.

"Hey, if you eat the candied haws, you have to help me pay it back. I borrowed money from Qinghe to buy it..."

Paimon looked as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

"Then I'll give it back to you." Kong was stunned when he heard that and directly handed the candied haws to her.

You spoke so loudly just now, it was obviously Xue Qinghe who treated us, right?
You haven't made any money yet, but you want to cheat money from me to save for your own piggy bank?
Kong had obviously seen Paimon's tricks too many times.

"Hehe, you've already taken one and you still want to back out? No way!"

Paimeng put her hands on her hips, indicating that you have already paid and no returns will be accepted.

"...Hey, that's so sour. I'll pay half, and you have to pay the rest."

"Well~ well, after all, I am your best friend~"

Paimon thought about it and thought, if he really owed someone money, the traveler would pay half and he would pay the other half, which would be fine...

Looking at Kong and Paimeng who were making noises while eating candied haws in the front, Xue Qinghe and Yu Keke looked at each other and saw incredible looks in each other's eyes.

In Xue Qinghe's mind, aren't supreme beings like Kong the kind that are high and mighty, stern, dignified, steady, and unattainable?

But the young man in front of him, whose own strength can be said to be the most powerful one he has ever seen, does not have the above characteristics.
Instead, he likes to quarrel with his sister and eats snacks without caring about his impression. He doesn't feel like a master, but more like a brother next door...

However, perhaps only Paimon can see this side of him?
Seeing Paimon in front of him taking advantage of Kong's inattention, Ah Wu bit off a candied haws from the stick in his hand with a triumphant smile,
Kong would also pretend to want to snatch the candied haws from her hand and play with her, which made Xue Qinghe feel indescribably envious.

If only he could treat me as well as he treats Paimon...

When Xue Qinghe thought of this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Noticing that his cheeks were a little hot, he quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart that belonged only to girls.

Whether it's the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, or the Spirit Hall's Young Master Qian Renxue, both identities remind him all the time that he is not worthy of having any feelings.

Yu Keke was thinking, Paimeng and his brother have a really good relationship, will they accept her going with them?
But I really want to follow my brother and Paimon and the others...

Not only did they rescue me, but they also helped my father get revenge. I must find a way to repay them.

"Yuelai Hotel, Qinghe, is this the place?"

After crossing several streets, they finally arrived at the entrance of the hotel Xue Qinghe mentioned. Paimeng pointed at the luxuriously decorated hotel and asked.

Although Xue Qinghe was treating her, she was still a little unsure.

The decoration here is so luxurious that it feels like entering a Mond tavern. It seems that the consumption is very high.

What if Qinghe doesn’t bring enough money and leaves them here to wash dishes?

"Yes, I've been to this restaurant a few times and the food is delicious, especially their golden crispy chicken, tomahawk steak, cheesecake, and strawberry milkshake..."

Xue Qinghe nodded and talked in detail about the delicious food and desserts here.

This is an industry hidden under the name of the Spirit Hall. Usually, he would come here when he needed to deal with some matters of the Spirit Hall. After coming here a few times, he became very familiar with the food here.

The most important thing is that the food here is really delicious, so he didn't think much about it and brought Kong and the others here directly.

"Suck~"

"Gudong~"

Xue Qinghe was reciting on the side, while Paimeng and Yu Keke were staring with wide eyes, as if they had seen the food Xue Qinghe was talking about passing before their eyes, and they kept swallowing their saliva.

"..."

Seeing how disappointing they were, Kong wanted to criticize them, but his throat rolled unconsciously.
