The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 503 Where is my precious spirit?

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang that echoed throughout the entire concert venue, a streak of light flew back into Meng Yan's star vein.

Zhang Hui strode out of the sea of ​​fire, followed by Yan Que, who was also severely injured but still insisted on fighting and looked intently at Meng Yan.

"You are much stronger than when you left."

"But we still lost." Meng Yan sighed, a hint of relief on his face for some reason. "Teacher is indeed very powerful."

"Shut up!" Xie Rui clenched his fists, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at Meng Yan. "You are not worthy to call him teacher!"

“Hehe…” Meng Yan shook his head and chuckled, then said nothing more.

"Surrender," Zhang Hui said calmly, grabbing Meng Yan's arm. "Reform yourself properly in prison, and after you get out..."

Zhang Hui paused for a long time, his expression changing several times, before finally speaking slowly, "Your teacher is still waiting for you at the Spirit Arena."

Meng Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Hui.

That face, which looked much older than he remembered, had every single wrinkle on it clearly visible to him.

Before he knew it, Meng Yan's eyes reddened.

"…it is good."

On the other side, the battle between Qin Lang and the others and the remaining three members of the treasure hunting team was also a foregone conclusion. With Tang Yu's strong attack and Qin Lang's assistance from the side, all three members of the treasure hunting team were defeated.

Other fans at the concert also joined in, and ultimately the attack launched by the treasure hunting team did not result in any casualties.

A group of people rushed in from the entrance, and the leader was none other than Lin Ping, the captain of the security management team who had arrived as soon as he heard the news.

His tense expression gradually relaxed after he saw the situation clearly. Looking at the four members of the hunting team who had already surrendered, Lin Ping snorted softly.

"Take them all away!"
-
"cheers!"

In the hotel room, Fang Yifei hadn't yet removed her concert makeup, her beautiful face showing a hint of drunkenness. Without saying a word, she pulled the others up and clinked their glasses together. "Although there were many unexpected situations along the way, I still want to congratulate my first concert on its successful conclusion!"

"Sister Yifei, you're amazing. You managed to bring the audience's attention back to the concert even under those circumstances," Qin Lang said sincerely.

As the security team arrested the four members of the hunting team, Qin Lang almost thought that the concert would have to be ended halfway through.

Who would have thought that Fang Yifei, in a moment of quick thinking, would turn everything into a performance and replace the song she was originally going to sing with a passionate battle song?

That rousing battle song was also an original composition by Fang Yifei, and it inexplicably matched everything that had just happened, to the point that most of the audience believed it and turned their attention back to the concert.

Finally, the concert came to a successful close.

"Hmph, I'm a professional star. This kind of quick thinking is a piece of cake~" Fang Yifei proudly raised her delicate chin. "I also want to thank you for your help today."

"If those despicable guys really cause injuries or deaths to the concert staff, not only will the concert have to be canceled, but I'm afraid I'll also have to bear the corresponding responsibility." Fang Yifei sighed as she said this.

"If I can't continue being a star, then I'll have no choice but to..."

"The only option is to continue participating in the Spirit Eater Battle Tournament?" Tang Yu asked curiously.

"No, it means I can only inherit the family fortune." At this point, Fang Yifei sighed with relief, "Thankfully, it hasn't come to that." Tang Yu: "..."

Qin Lang and the other two: "..."

"Speaking of which, haven't we forgotten something?" Cao Dongdong picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and put it in his mouth, then suddenly remembered something.

"Where did that rare spirit that lured the hunting team go?"
-
"Hehehe~"

Looking at the somewhat listless Chili Spirit locked in the cage, Liu Chuang and Luo Mi both showed excited expressions.

"Lomi, handing this rare spirit over to the organization, along with the merits we've accumulated, should be enough for us to be promoted to organizational officers, right?"

“Excellent!” Lomi nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with high fighting spirit. “Those guys at the temporary base in Stringfish City looked down on us, thinking we were jinxes who would bring them bad luck. They wouldn’t even share information about rare spirits with us, but look what happened!”

"Kukuku~" Lomi raised the cage holding the Chili Spirit high, "We finally caught this spirit!"

“That’s right, that’s right!” Liu Chuang crossed his arms, a smug look on his face. “If I really get promoted to a cadre, I should be the first one among my peers to be promoted to a cadre, and others will definitely not dare to underestimate me.”

“A fellow member from the same period…” Lomi murmured, then shook her head violently. “Alright, there’s no time to lose, let’s report to the organization right away!”

"Why not just hand it over to the base?" Liu Chuang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Are you stupid!" Lomi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Meng Yan and the others aren't very bright, they've already been arrested by the security team."

“If we’re unlucky, even the temporary base at Lianxian Fish Market might be wiped out.” At this point, Lomi shrank back. “Even if the base is still there, the elite operator in charge of it, Meng Chang, is in cahoots with those guys, and he’ll definitely favor the other operators.”

"At that time, our credit might be claimed by someone else!"

“You’re right…” Liu Chuang nodded in deep agreement. “So how do we report to the organization?”

“Let me think…” Lomi casually placed the cage at her feet, then picked up the communication tool used by the hunting team and began to edit it as she pondered.

Liu Chuang pulled his head up to the screen and looked at Lomi's editor.

Is the wording here a bit off?

"You're right, I'll change it..."

The two were whispering about how to report to the organization, completely unaware that in the cage beneath their feet, the previously listless Chili Spirit had suddenly become energetic and secretly glanced at Liu Chuang and his companion who were whispering to each other.

How terrifying! These two are bad guys too!
Thinking about how she had fled the concert in a panic, only to accidentally stumble into the cage the two had prepared in advance because it was too dark, Chili Zhenling felt a strong sense of grievance.

These two guys seem to be in cahoots with the others from before.

If they catch you, you'll be dead!

Thinking of this, a faint blue light suddenly flickered on Chili Spirit's forehead, and her whole body became erratic as she tiptoed out of the special cage designed to restrain spirits.

Seeing that the two hadn't noticed her, Chili Spirit didn't hesitate and immediately flew away into the distance.

"It's decided, this is how we'll report it!" Having finally finalized the content of the report, Lomi glanced down at the cage at her feet.

"...What about my precious spirit?!"
