The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 372 Descendant of the Hero
"I've also considered your idea."

Zuo Ge immediately took over the conversation, waving the book "The Legend of the Hero of Light" in his hand.

"I sped up my reading and have already come across a more detailed description of the evil nightingale in the book."

"Therefore, I believe that the Evil Nightingale is not the Silver Nightingale."

"How so?" Cao Dongdong asked curiously.

“It is clearly written in the book that the Evil Nightingale is a nightingale that is entirely black.” Zoge paused slightly, “When night falls, blood-red eyes will grow on every feather of its body.”

"hiss…"

The thought of the black nightingale with blood-red eyes made Zhao Qian gasp, and she kept rubbing her arms, which were covered in goosebumps.

"This is way too creepy!"

“If that’s the case, it certainly can’t be the Silver Warbler.” Fatima pushed up her glasses. “The descriptions of the Silver Warbler in the Feli region clearly state that its feathers are the color of the sky.”

"As for the appearance of the Silver Oriole, we have already seen it in the stone carvings of the previous ruins."

Everyone nodded in unison, and at that moment they dispelled any similar thoughts.

Based on this, the legendary evil nightingale should be another legendary creature, or another creature with power comparable to a legendary creature.

"How about we change the subject?" Zhao Qian said timidly, not daring to imagine the evil nightingale's appearance. "How about other stories about the Hero of Light?"

"This is great!" Zuo Ge exclaimed excitedly, "This book records the most magnificent legends I've ever read."

"Oh, how so?" Cao Dongdong pressed.

"Let me tell you a story!" Zuo Ge said with great interest. "When this hero of light, Wei Ran, was young, he had a fiancée. However, because his talent for cooking spirit beasts was not high, his fiancée's family came to their house to break off the engagement."

"Wow, such a thing actually happened!" Cao Dongdong suddenly felt a strong sense of empathy, recalling how he was ridiculed by other students in the training class for his poor cooking skills before Qin Lang's guidance. "And then?"

"And then?" Zuo Ge laughed. "Although Wei Ran isn't very talented, he has a lot of backbone. He pointed at his fiancée's nose and told her that he wouldn't accept the annulment of the engagement. Then he took the initiative to write a letter of divorce and made a three-year promise with his fiancée that he would definitely surpass her in three years!"

"That feels great, that's how it should be!" Cao Dongdong slammed his fist into his thigh. Recalling Wei Ran's past, he felt a jolt throughout his body, as if every pore was about to open up.

The last time he felt this way was when he rushed to Pang Long's old man training class after he got the Daisy Badge and slapped him in the face.

"And then what happened?"

"Next, Wei Ran will..." Zuo Ge chuckled. Under his artistic embellishment, the already magnificent life of the legendary hero of light seemed to become even more magnificent.

Even Zhao Qian and Fatima, who were standing to the side, were deeply attracted by the story and listened attentively to Zuo Ge's narration.

Qin Lang's lips twitched slightly as he silently turned his gaze to the quiet little fish in the large fish tank beside him.

In fact, Xiao Cai took the initiative to approach him and followed him all the way here, hoping to find the Silver Oriole with his help.

I wonder what it thought when it heard the story of the evil nightingale?
Seemingly sensing Qin Lang's thoughts, Xiao Cai wagged its tail and silently ate the precious rice in the fish tank, appearing completely unaware of anything.

The next day.

“Lanjin Garden is just ahead.” Di You, wearing a sun hat and casual clothes, pointed to the majestic marble gate not far ahead. “This gate is quite old; it might be related to the Warrior of Light.”

"That's quite a long time ago." Qin Lang chuckled, looking at the relatively small number of tourists at the entrance. "There are fewer tourists than I expected."

"That's because the reservation system limits the number of visitors," Di You smiled. "Besides, 'fewer' is only superficial. Lan Jin Garden is very large inside, and most visitors are inside Lan Jin Garden."

"You'll find out when you go inside."

"Then we'll be looking forward to it." Zhao Qian chuckled.

As the group chatted and laughed, they walked to the entrance. The sixteenth painting, a perfectly matching marble orchid relief, appeared before their eyes, and a soft "whoosh" echoed in Qin Lang's mind.

Sixteenth painting, check-in successful.

However, Qin Lang was not in a hurry to look at the reward.

Normally, these kinds of easy check-ins are guaranteed to reward you with a minimum of Clear Star Stones. Qin Lang obtained a total of four Clear Star Stones in Yuehu City. Now, Danbao and Lala have each absorbed one, leaving two remaining.

As if nothing was amiss, they walked to the entrance with the other group. After completing the identity verification for their appointment, they were about to enter Lanjinyuan when a staff member in charge of verification suddenly spoke up.

"Di You?"

Di You looked in the direction of the voice, his expression also showing some surprise, "Sasha?"

Then, he turned to Qin Lang and the others, "Let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend, Wei Shasha."

"These are friends I met during my recent trip to Tianhua Prefecture."

"Hello everyone." Wei Shasha smiled brightly. "Just call me Shasha, like Di You."

With that, she waved to the staff next to her, left through the verification channel, and walked to Qin Lang and the others. "I know Lan Jinyuan better than anyone, so let me be your guide!"

"Thank you, Sasha." Zhao Qian looked at her work area with some concern. "But are you sure it's okay for you to leave like this?"

"Don't worry." Before Wei Shasha could speak, Di You chuckled, "Lan Jinyuan belongs to Shasha's family. She likes to work as a ticket checker whenever she has free time. After she leaves, other staff will naturally take over."

Everyone was surprised and then realized what was going on. Wei Shasha rolled her eyes at Di You, "You knew Lan Jin Garden was my family's, but you didn't even tell me you were coming?"

"I heard you went traveling a few days ago, and I thought you hadn't come back yet..." Di You scratched his head awkwardly.

"I just got back not long ago too." Wei Shasha chuckled. "Alright, I forgive you then."

"Um, I have a question." Qin Lang, who had been silent until now, looked at the name tag hanging around Wei Shasha's neck. "Your surname is Wei, and..."

“That’s right!” Wei Shasha raised an eyebrow, straightened her back instantly, and her face was full of pride. “Wei Ran, the Warrior of Light, is my ancestor!”

"Really?" Cao Dongdong's spirits lifted. "That Wei Ran who said 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man' and made a three-year pact with his ex-fiancée was your ancestor?!"

"Hiss~" Zhao Qian, Zuo Ge and Fatima gasped at the same time, took a step back, and had expressions that said "this kid is terrifying".
