Chapter 81 The Invitation to Gluttony
Fang Zhou watched Ye Ninghan fly towards the direction of Saint Cold Peak and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiaoyue stood up, walked to Fang Zhou's side, and gently nuzzled him.
"For the next few days, it'll probably just be you and me."
Fang Zhou picked Xiaoyue up from the ground and gently stroked her.
Xiaoyue squinted her eyes in comfort.
Suddenly, Fang Zhou seemed to remember something. He looked at the sky, realized it was still early, and smiled.
"Xiaoyue, let's go to Cheng'an next. I think I mentioned that I wanted to see the deer."
Xiaoyue nodded and called out softly; it seemed to like the child quite a bit too.
Fang Zhou smiled, picked up Xiao Yue, took a step, and disappeared from the courtyard of Chengdao Peak.
When he reappeared, he was already standing outside the gate of the Ciyoufang (orphanage) in Cheng'an City.
At this time, the orphanage was empty, with hardly anyone in sight.
Fang Zhou looked around curiously and found that there were only a few managers from the orphanage.
A young female manager noticed Fang Zhou and stepped forward.
"You must be Mr. Cheng's friend. I saw you before. What brings you here?"
Fang Zhou nodded to the female manager and greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, I'm looking for Little Deer. Do you know where she is?"
"So you're here to see Xiaolu. That child went to participate in the activities in the square with the other children. Oh, by the way, Mr. Cheng is also there watching them."
The female manager smiled and answered Fang Zhou, who nodded his thanks and walked towards the square.
Before long, Fang Zhou arrived at the square.
The square was bustling with activity. Long tables were set up, each laden with delicious food, and a group of people were feasting around them.
There was also a simple kitchen next to it, which was constantly replenishing the food.
Fang Zhou immediately spotted the slender figure with the words "Gluttony" written on his head, and the person also noticed Fang Zhou's gaze.
He looked up from the long table laden with food, paused for a moment when he saw Fang Zhou, nodded to Fang Zhou, and then buried himself in his food.
Seeing that He meant no harm and was only hungry, Fang Zhou ignored Him and looked at Cheng Wenyuan and the others not far away.
Cheng Wenyuan and some managers of the orphanage, along with Xiaolu and a dozen other children, sat around a long table.
Unlike the other long tables, the children ate in small bites, occasionally glancing at the adults at other tables who were feasting and expressing their amazement.
Cheng Wenyuan stood to the side with the managers of the orphanage, watching the children.
Fang Zhou walked over to Cheng Wenyuan and greeted him.
"Brother Cheng, what kind of event is this?"
Cheng Wenyuan was startled and turned around to find that it was Fang Zhou.
"Brother Fang, what brings you here? Why don't you stay home for a few more days?"
"I'm starting to regret it too."
Fang Zhou sighed.
Cheng Wenyuan was puzzled, but considerately did not press for details and instead explained the current situation to Fang Zhou.
"Brother Fang, this is a competitive eating contest organized by the Gluttony Church. I had nothing better to do, so I brought the kids over to freeload a meal and have some fun."
Fang Zhou's expression was somewhat subtle.
"Is this Gluttony Church a cult?"
Cheng Wenyuan pondered for a moment before speaking to Fang Zhou:
"Strictly speaking, they should be considered a cult, since their church's only purpose is to eat, completely disregarding production. If left unchecked, it could lead to very serious consequences."
He glanced at the other tables, where people had already become quite overweight, and smiled.
"As long as they aren't stopped, they can keep eating, and there are no other negative effects besides getting fat. The elders of Cheng'an Management Office saw no harm and agreed to let them hold the event."
After all, if they were to do it in secret, the harm would be quite significant; it's better to bring it into the open and regulate it.
Fang Zhou seemed to be deep in thought, realizing that this was how cults operated within Cheng'an.
"You mean, they might still be conducting these kinds of activities behind the scenes?"
Cheng Wenyuan nodded and smiled.
"Some cultists do preach in secret, and there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the sect has already stopped the evil god, and the rest is up to us."
Suddenly, a little deer noticed them, wiped its mouth and hands, and ran towards Fang Zhou.
"Brother Fang, did you receive Little Deer's gift?"
Seeing the little deer tilting its head back and looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes, Fang Zhou couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Received it, I like it very much, thank you, Little Deer."
The little deer was smiling happily.
"I'm glad Brother Fang likes it."
Then she glanced at Xiaoyue, whom Fang Zhou was holding, and looked at her with some confusion.
"Has the cat gotten fat? It's gotten so big."
Xiaoyue looked up and suddenly felt that the child wasn't so cute anymore.
Fang Zhou looked down at Xiao Yue in his arms and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You seem to have gained a little weight. Let me give you a hug; see if I can still lift you."
Fang Zhou handed the mournful Xiaoyue to the deer.
The little deer carefully took Xiaoyue, holding the ball of silvery-white fur in its hands.
"Wow, the cat does seem to have gained a little weight."
The little deer hugged Xiaoyue and sighed.
Xiaoyue looked utterly dejected, letting Xiaolu hug her.
Xiao Lu held Xiao Yue for a while, then handed Xiao Yue back to Fang Zhou.
"The cat is too heavy, I can't carry it."
When Xiaoyue was handed back to Fang Zhou, her face was full of displeasure.
It turned its head away, facing its rear end towards the fawn, and flicked its tail in dissatisfaction.
Little Deer didn't seem to care, and smiled happily at Xiaoyue's expression.
The eating contest ended sometime during the gluttony competition because the gluttony church had eaten all the food prepared by the gluttony church.
All that remained was the burnt-out chef and the leftover food from other tables.
The others, caught up in the feast, didn't care whether the game was over or not; they focused on eating the food in front of them, and their figures gradually became bloated.
Gluttony glanced around, and although he wasn't full, he didn't try to grab food from the other tables. Then he looked at Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou also noticed Gluttony's gaze. Seeing that Gluttony seemed to want to talk to him, Fang Zhou told Cheng Wenyuan and Xiao Lu and walked towards Gluttony.
"Hello, tomorrow."
Gluttony greeted Fang Zhou politely, showing no trace of his earlier gluttonous behavior.
Fang Zhou nodded to Him as well.
"Hello, Binge Eating, what can I do for you?"
Gluttony looked intently at Fang Zhou.
Do you also really enjoy eating?
Instead of answering Fang Zhou's question directly, Gluttony asked him a question in return.
Fang Zhou didn't mind. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded.
He does enjoy eating and drinking, after all, this world really does have some strange and unusual ingredients like dragon meat, which he finds quite interesting.
Gluttony smiled and extended an invitation to Fang Zhou.
"Come visit me in the Divine Realm anytime you have time, and I'll treat you to a meal."
Fang Zhou was a little surprised, not expecting that Bing Shi would actually invite him to dinner.
"That's no problem, but is this all you wanted to talk to me about?"
Binge shook his head.
"No, it's arrogance that wants to see you."
