Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

The day for the second match has arrived.

The Bird's Nest Stadium was still packed to capacity, with the audience's enthusiasm even higher than on the first day.

Because Lin Yu's team is going to compete again today.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Today's second match is between Lin Yu's team and the Poison Gu team from Sichuan!" The commentator's voice was filled with passion. "The Poison Gu team is famous for their use of poison; their Gu poison is said to be able to take down even level 50 professionals!"

On the big screen, the information about the Poison Gu Squad appeared—

Team leader Lan Fenghuang, an A-level professional "Gu Poison Master", with an average level of 39.

"And on Lin Yu's team..." the commentator paused, "...uh, the player they sent out is—"

The camera switches to the players' tunnel.

A small, fluffy ball is slowly rolling onto the stage.

It really is rolling.

It was only about half a meter tall, covered in grayish-white fur, with large, bright eyes looking around nervously, and a mouth that was slightly larger than normal, which was now tightly pursed.

The four short legs tried their best to move around, but they were too short to be seen walking; it looked more like rolling.

The audience was completely silent.

Then--

"Pfft, hahaha—"

"What is this?! A fluffy ball?!"

"So cute! It looks like my cat's toy!"

"Did Lin Yu's team send up a mascot?"

The barrage of comments exploded:

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Is she trying to be cute?"

"Can this thing fight off a poison squad?"

Lin Yu: I wanted to make the match exciting. And it really was exciting, so incredibly cute.

"Poison Gu Squad: Who are you insulting?"

In the athletes' rest area, Lin Ya laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Xiao Tao is so cute! Look at her!"

Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.

Lin Hui leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Master, Sister Taotie seems to be trembling..."

Lin Yu nodded: "She has social anxiety."

Lin Hui blinked: "What is social anxiety?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's just... I get nervous when there are a lot of people around."

Lin Hui nodded thoughtfully, then shouted towards the stage, "Go, Sister Taotie! Don't be afraid!"

The little ball on the stage shook even more violently.

Inner monologues flooded the screen:

"So many people...so many people are looking at me...I'm so embarrassed...I want to hide..."

"But my master ordered me to perform... I can't hide... I have to do a good job..."

"Otherwise, Master won't give me any food... Waaaaah..."

On the competition stage.

The five members of the Poison Gu Squad are in position.

The team leader, Lan Fenghuang, was a woman who looked to be around thirty years old. She was dressed in Miao-style clothing, wore silver ornaments on her head, and had a playful smile on her lips.

She looked at the small round ball opposite her that was trying hard to "roll" onto the stage and couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Lin Yu, are you sure you want to send this... little thing to fight?"

Lin Yu stood below the stage, her tone calm: "Confirmed."

Blue Phoenix raised an eyebrow: "Does that mean if it loses, you'll admit defeat?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Of course. With so many spectators witnessing this, they certainly wouldn't be joking."

Blue Phoenix's eyes lit up.

The teammates behind her also showed expressions of surprise.

"Captain! We've gotten a great deal!"

"Lin Yu actually sent out a summoned creature!"

"She's still a harmless-looking little furball!"

"Our poison can even take down a level 50 enemy, can this little thing withstand it?"

Lan Fenghuang's lips curled into a smug smile.

"Alright! Mr. Lin Yu, then it's a deal!"

She looked at the small sphere, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Little one, don't cry later."

The little glutton shrank back and whispered:

"I...I won't cry..."

The voice was sweet and soft, with a slight tremor.

In the audience, countless hearts melted.

"What an adorable little voice!"

"What kind of creature is that?!"

"Where did Lin Yu find so many treasures?!"

Blue Phoenix snorted coldly.

"The match begins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Poison Gu Squad immediately sprang into action.

The five people simultaneously formed hand seals, and various colored lights emanated from their bodies.

The next second—

A massive swarm of Gu worms erupted from their bodies!

There were gold ones, purple ones, black ones... densely packed, blotting out the sky, surging towards that small sphere!

A gasp rippled through the audience.

"That's a Golden Silkworm Gu! It's lethal upon contact with blood!"

"And there are purple centipedes! One bite and you're crippled!"

"That black one... is it the Gu King?! They've even released the Gu King?!"

The commentator's voice changed: "The Poison Gu Squad went all out from the start! Most of these Gu worms are Gu King level! Can that little sphere withstand it?!"

Lan Fenghuang smiled coldly.

"Little thing, experience the power of our Sichuan poisonous Gu."

Little Tao blinked as he watched the swarming Gu worms.

Inner monologue:

"So many bugs... They don't look very appetizing... But Master said I can eat them... So let's eat them..."

She opened her mouth.

That mouth opened to its widest extent in an instant—

It's bigger than her entire body!

Then, a terrifying suction force surged from her mouth!

The overwhelming swarms of Gu worms, as if drawn by an invisible vortex, all rushed into her mouth!

One, two, ten, one hundred, one thousand—

Swallow it all!

The little glutton closed its mouth and chewed.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"This...the taste is a bit strong..."

The entire room fell silent.

Blue Phoenix's smile froze on her face.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Those Gu Kings, each one is priceless, each one capable of poisoning a level 50 professional—

It actually got swallowed whole by that little thing?!

Her teammates behind her were also dumbfounded.

"Captain, our Gu worms..."

"All gone?!"

Blue Phoenix gritted her teeth: "Don't panic! There's still poisonous fog!"

She raised her hand, and the other four people did the same.

Various poisonous mists emanated from their bodies—purple miasma, green poisonous smoke, black death fog...

It instantly enveloped the entire competition area!

The audience could only see a thick cloud of poisonous fog, and could not see what was inside at all.

The commentator exclaimed nervously, "A venomous fog descends! This is the signature skill of the Poison Gu Squad—'Heart-Eating Poison'! It's said to be able to corrode even alloys!"

Blue Phoenix stared at the cloud of poisonous mist, a smile returning to her lips.

"Little brat, let's see how you handle this..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The poisonous fog began to move.

It's not expansion, but... contraction.

They contract in the same direction.

It's like something is absorbing them.

A few seconds later, the poisonous fog completely disappeared.

The silhouette of that small round ball was revealed.

She was opening her mouth, inhaling the last bit of poisonous mist.

Then he closed his mouth and chewed.

His brows furrowed even deeper.

"This... is a little sour..."

Blue Phoenix's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"What...what are you?!"

Xiao Tao looked at her and whispered:

"I...I am Taotie..."

Her voice was still so sweet and soft, with a slight tremor.

But when Lan Fenghuang heard the word "Taotie," she froze.

Taotie?

The ancient ferocious beast Taotie?!

That legendary Taotie, capable of devouring everything?!

Before she could react, Xiao Tao had already begun to act.

No, it's started to move.

The small sphere suddenly began to expand.

one meter.

Two meters.

……

Fifty meters.

Sixty meters!

When the expansion stopped, what appeared on the competition platform was a behemoth over sixty meters tall!

A fluffy, fleshy body, large, bright eyes, and a huge mouth—

It is now slightly open, revealing the bottomless darkness within.

She occupied two-thirds of the entire competition stage.

Its enormous size blotted out the sky, casting a shadow that enveloped the entire poison squad.

What's even more terrifying is that oppressive aura.

That was the oppressive aura of an ancient divine beast.

It was the oppressive aura of someone who had lived for tens of thousands of years and devoured countless powerful beings.

Blue Phoenix's legs went weak.

Her four teammates immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.

The audience was completely silent.

No one speaks.

No one dared to speak.

The commentator opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

The comments section paused for a full three seconds.

Then--

"Holy crap!!!"

"A Taotie?! That's a Taotie?!"

"The legendary ancient ferocious beast Taotie?!"

"Where did Lin Yu get that gluttonous beast?!"

"Was that little round ball a Taotie in disguise?!"

"My God, my God, my God!"

Blue Phoenix trembled as she raised her head to look at the enormous creature that was looking down at her.

Taotie lowered its head and looked at her with its big, bright eyes.

Her voice was still so sweet and soft, but now it sent chills down your spine.

"Do you... still want to fight?"

Lan Fenghuang's lips trembled; she wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Taotie waited for three seconds but received no reply.

She tilted her head—the sight of that over 60-meter-tall mass of flesh tilting its head was simply breathtaking.

"Then... I'll come myself?"

After saying that, she leaped high into the air.

A colossal object, over sixty meters tall, leaped into the air and blocked out the sun.

Then, it crashed down on the poison squad!

The force of that fall was as heavy as a thousand pounds!

Blue Phoenix's pupils suddenly contracted.

If that crashes down, all five of them will be turned into mincemeat!

"We surrender! We surrender!!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs.

The Taotie's descent came to an abrupt halt just three meters from the ground.

She hovered in mid-air and blinked.

"Give up?"

Blue Phoenix nodded vigorously.

Her teammates nodded vigorously in unison, their movements even more synchronized than if they had rehearsed.

The Taotie slowly descended back to the ground, its body beginning to shrink.

Sixty meters.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

ten meters.

one meter.

Half a meter.

Finally, it turned back into that small, fluffy ball.

She rolled over to Lan Fenghuang, looked up at her with her big eyes.

whispering:

"So...I won?"

Looking at the little thing, Lan Fenghuang recalled the enormous creature that was over sixty meters tall just now, and felt completely uneasy.

Her lips trembled as she said:

"We won...we won..."

The little glutton's eyes curved into crescent moons.

She turned around and started rolling off the stage.

As he rolled to the edge of the platform, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and said:

"Um... your insects and poison are actually quite tasty... just a bit pungent... maybe you could try a different flavor next time..."

After saying that, she continued rolling off the stage.

They left behind a group of petrified poison squad members and an entire silent stadium.

The commentator finally found his voice and said dryly:

"The match is over... Lin Yu's team has won..."

The barrage of comments exploded again:

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! They're even commenting on the taste!"

"A bit pungent," "A bit sour"—this is a buffet, isn't it?

"The Poison Gu Squad: The Gu we painstakingly raised were eaten like snacks."

"I burst out laughing at the last line, 'Next time, let's try a different flavor.'"

"The Taotie is so cute! It's both powerful and adorable!"

"Where did Lin Yu get this mythical beast from?!"

The players' rest area.

The little glutton rolled to Lin Yu's feet, looked up at him expectantly.

"Master...did I perform well?"

Lin Yu bent down and picked her up.

The little glutton immediately snuggled into his arms, a fluffy ball of fur, and rubbed against him comfortably.

Lin Yu smiled and ruffled her fur.

"You did a very good job."

Little Tao's eyes curved into crescent moons again.

Lin Hui peeked out from the side and stroked her fur: "Sister Taotie is so amazing!"

The little glutton froze for a moment, but did not dodge.

Inner monologue:

"Hui'er touching me... I don't dislike it... it even feels a little good... Have I improved...?"

……

That evening, Lin Yu kept her promise—taking the whole family out for a buffet.

"Xiao Tao behaved well today, so I'll reward her with a nice meal." Lin Yu carried Xiao Tao and walked at the front.

A string of excited beast girls followed behind him.

Lin Ya was already drooling: "I know a really great buffet restaurant that has everything from seafood and barbecue to desserts!"

Lin Hui raised her hand: "Hui'er wants to eat crab!"

Lin Duo whispered, "Duo'er wants to eat cake..."

Little Tao nestled in Lin Yu's arms, its eyes sparkling.

"Master...may I eat whatever I want?"

Lin Yu nodded: "It's a buffet, eat whatever you want."

The little glutton's fur stood on end with joy.

......

The first buffet restaurant was named Hainan Rendez-Vous.

The price is quite expensive, 888 yuan per person.

The restaurant boasts luxurious decor and a wide variety of dishes. The seafood section is filled with lobsters, crabs, and oysters, while the barbecue area is wafting with delicious aromas, and the dessert area is a riot of colors.

Lin Yu led a group of people inside, and the waiters greeted them warmly.

"Hello, how many of you are there?"

Lin Yu counted: "Thirteen."

The waiter greeted us with a smile: "Okay, this way please—"

He didn't notice that the little ball he was holding had eyes that were shining like two small light bulbs.

After they were seated, Lin Yu said to Xiao Tao, "Go ahead, take whatever you want."

Little Tao nodded, jumped down from Lin Yu's arms, and rolled towards the food area.

Then--

The waiter's smile gradually froze.

The little round ball rolled to the seafood section, looked at the freezer full of lobsters, and opened its mouth.

One mouthful.

Ten lobsters are gone.

Two mouthfuls.

Twenty oysters are gone.

Three people.

Thirty crabs are gone.

The waiter rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

The little glutton rolled over to the barbecue area and looked at the rows of roasted lamb chops.

Open your mouth.

The row of lamb chops was gone.

Open your mouth again.

Another row is gone.

Roll over to the dessert section.

Open your mouth.

Ten cakes are gone.

Open your mouth again.

Twenty puddings are gone.

The waiter's expression gradually changed from a smile to shock, from shock to terror, and from terror to despair.

Twenty minutes later.

The little glutton rolled back to Lin Yu's side and licked its lips.

"Master, those shrimp over there look pretty delicious."

Lin Yu glanced at her, then at the empty food area, and fell silent.

The other guests also fell silent.

Someone whispered, "I think I just saw a lot of food over there..."

The person next to him said quietly, "It's gone now."

The waiter walked over shakily, looking at Lin Yu, his voice trembling:

"Sir...your pet...it..."

The little glutton looked up and earnestly corrected, "I am not a pet, I am my master's companion."

Waiter: "...Okay, are you full?"

The glutton thought for a moment: "I'm only two-tenths full."

The waiter's vision went black.

The manager rushed over upon hearing the news, looked at the empty food area, then at the small round ball, and took a deep breath.

"Sir, this is a buffet, you can eat as much as you want, but you... you eat way too much..."

Lin Yu took out a card: "How much? I'll pay."

The manager gave a wry smile: "It's not a matter of money... it's that we simply can't supply enough..."

Lin Yu looked at Xiao Tao, who was staring at him expectantly.

He sighed.

"Let's go, let's try another one."

......

The second buffet restaurant is called Si Hai Yi Jia, and it's not cheap either, costing 688 yuan per person.

As soon as Lin Yu entered, the boss greeted her warmly.

"Welcome! Please come in, everyone—"

Then he saw the small round ball in Lin Yu's arms.

The boss's smile froze for a second.

"Um... sir, your pet doesn't eat a lot, does it?"

The little glutton earnestly corrected: "I am not a pet—"

Lin Yu interrupted her, "It's okay, we'll pay."

The boss hesitated for a moment, but still let us in.

Twenty minutes later.

The boss knelt in front of the empty food area, on the verge of tears.

"I've been in business for ten years, and I've never seen anything like this before..."

Little Tao rolled back to Lin Yu's side and whispered:

"Master, I'm about three-tenths full."

Lin Yu ruffled her fur and looked at the boss.

The boss stood up and forced a professional smile.

"Sir, please take care. Welcome to visit us again..."

But what I was really thinking was: Please, please don't come back!

......

The third buffet restaurant is more affordable, costing only 388 yuan per person.

Lin Yu was stopped as soon as she reached the door.

The boss stood at the door, hands clasped together, his expression sincere.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, we can't accommodate you."

Lin Yu was taken aback: "Why? We haven't gone in yet."

The shop owner gave a wry smile: "It's already gone viral in our industry chat group—a young man with a furry little pet can bankrupt a shop in half an hour. With that kind of eating power, our little shop can't handle it."

Lin Yu fell silent.

He looked down at the little glutton in his arms.

Little Tao blinked, looking completely innocent.

Lin Yu sighed.

"Never mind then, let's go back."

The little glutton whispered, "Master, I'm only half full..."

Lin Yu ruffled her fur: "I'll give you special treatment when we get back."

......

On the way back to the hotel, Lin Yu sent Lin Xue a message:

"Xue'er, go and buy a batch of ingredients, the more the better."

Lin Xue replied instantly: "How much?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment: "Fill the space ring."

Lin Xue: "Understood."

After returning to the hotel, Lin Yu and her group went to the hotel kitchen.

The head chef looked at the group of people in front of him with a blank expression.

"Sir, would you like to use the kitchen?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, we'll cook for ourselves."

The head chef hesitated, "This... isn't quite in accordance with the rules..."

Lin Yu pulled out a wad of bills: "Rent one hour."

The head chef took the money, counted it, and immediately beamed with joy.

Please, make yourself at home!

Lin Yu walked into the kitchen and took out the ingredients from her spatial bracelet—

Lin Xue had already made the purchases, and the space ring was packed full.

Rice, flour, eggs, vegetables, meat... everything is available.

He put on his apron and started cooking.

Lin Hui helped wash the vegetables, Lin Duo was in charge of chopping them, Lin Huan cooked the dishes, Lin Ya tasted them, and Lin Xue quietly handed out the seasonings.

The little glutton squatted in the corner, watching longingly.

Inner monologue:

"Master cooked for me personally... I'm so happy... but I've eaten so much and I'm still not full... How embarrassing... Will Master dislike me...?"

Lin Yu turned around, glanced at her, and smiled.

"Come and help."

The little glutton paused for a moment, then immediately rolled over.

"Master, what can I do?"

Lin Yu pointed to the bag of rice: "Pour the rice into the pot and add water."

The little glutton nodded and struggled to lift the rice bag with its two short legs—

A small hole appeared in the bag, and rice poured into the pot.

One bag, two bags, three bags...

Ten minutes later, a large pot of rice was cooked.

The little glutton's eyes lit up when he saw the pot of rice.

Lin Yu then pointed to the flour: "This also needs to be made into noodles."

Xiao Tao continued to help.

Half an hour later, a large pot of noodles was cooked.

The little glutton squatted by the stove, watching longingly.

Lin Yu ladled out a bowl of rice, poured braised pork on top, and handed it to her.

"Eat."

The little glutton took the bowl and ate in small bites.

They ate very slowly and politely.

Lin Yu was taken aback: "Weren't you hungry? Why are you eating so slowly?"

The little glutton whispered, "What Master made... must be eaten slowly... mustn't be wasted..."

Lin Yu's heart softened, and she ruffled her fur.

"Eat up, there's more if you're not full."

The little glutton nodded and continued eating slowly.

One bowl, two bowls, three bowls...

After ten bowls, she put down the bowl and let out a small burp.

"Master, I am about 80% full."

Lin Yu looked at the nearly empty rice and flour bags and fell silent.

This meal is enough to feed an entire company for three days.

The little glutton snuggled into his arms and rubbed against him.

"The food my master makes is the best."

Lin Yu smiled and ruffled her fur.

"If you like it, that's good."

......

It was evening, inside the villa in the space tent.

The family sat around the table in the living room.

The TV is replaying today's game.

When Lin Hui saw the Taotie transform into a colossal creature over sixty meters tall, she exclaimed "Wow!"

"Sister Taotie is so big!"

The little glutton nestled in Lin Yu's arms and whispered, "I can get even bigger..."

Lin Ya asked curiously, "What's the biggest it can get?"

The little glutton thought for a moment: "The largest I've ever reached was over a hundred meters... but it's shrunk because I haven't eaten for so long..."

Lin Yu ruffled her fur: "You can make it up to her slowly later."

The little glutton's eyes lit up.

"Then may I eat more in the future?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Okay."

Little Taotie's tail—if she had a tail—waggled happily.

Lin Hui crawled over and stroked her fur: "Sister Taotie, can Hui'er sleep with you?"

Xiao Tao froze for a moment.

Inner monologue:

"Sleeping together... I'm so shy... but Hui'er is so cute... I can't refuse... I'll just have to bear it..."

She whispered, "Y-yes..."

Lin Hui happily hugged her.

The little glutton was hugged, and its whole body stiffened.

But slowly, she relaxed.

He even secretly rubbed against Lin Hui.

Lin Yu watched this scene with a slight smile on her lips.
