A Bite of Douluo Continent

He still has many dishes he hasn't learned to cook yet.

Once we have a larger selection of dishes, releasing them all at once to unlock the menu will seem natural, and it might even surprise our diners!

Oh...maybe it was just a fright.

What is this called?

This is called quiet development that amazes everyone!

Chapter 232 Cat-eared Girl and Cat

"Oh, right." Seeing the three women struggling to think about what to eat for lunch, Qi Han smiled and said, "Today, each of you will have boiled cabbage in clear broth and braised pork belly."

Eh?

Upon hearing this, the three women's faces immediately showed surprise and confusion.

“We haven’t been open for business here for a month, so the next few days will probably be very busy. Not only will the shop be packed, but more customers will also choose to order takeout.” Qi Han’s gaze lingered on the three women for a moment. “So the three of you will probably be very busy in the coming days. These two dishes are a treat for you in advance.”

It turned out to be the case.

Upon hearing Qi Han's words, the three women suddenly realized what was happening, especially Ji Yunruo and Ying Shuangshuang, who had been staying at Shrek Academy for the past month. The two women could feel the resentment of countless diners at Shrek Academy.

They both clearly remembered that when Hanshi Restaurant had just closed, many customers came to the restaurant every day, and couldn't help but sigh with regret after seeing the notice board hanging at the door.

Qi Han didn't have much time to inform the diners before leaving, and some diners who didn't know that Hanshi was closed came with high hopes, only to leave with regrets.

A month later, the number of such diners not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

The reason is simple: the notice board clearly states that the store is expected to be closed for about a month.

Now that a month has passed, these diners who have been craving it for a whole month are eagerly waiting and will come to the restaurant almost every time they visit to catch a glimpse of the cold food.

What if I happen to arrive just as the Cold Food Festival is about to begin?

Wouldn't that satisfy my craving?

There are quite a few diners who hold this mindset.

Moreover, the notice not only stated that the restaurant was expected to close for a month, but also mentioned that at least four new dishes would be available when it reopened, in order to reassure diners.

What kind of behavior is this?

What a shameful act of making empty promises!

During the Cold Food Festival, when are diners most excited?

Of course, it's when we introduce new dishes!

Although there have been some disastrous incidents involving bursting pork intestines and foil-baked pig brains.

Even so, all diners maintained an unparalleled curiosity about the unknown new dishes for the Cold Food Festival.

Therefore, the Hanshi Festival, which has finally opened after much difficulty, is bound to see an unprecedented surge in popularity.

"Thank you, boss!" x3

Since there are already two such precious dishes, the three women only need to order one more main course each, which is much easier.

After the three women ordered, Qi Han nodded to indicate that he had received their orders, turned around and went into the kitchen. A few minutes later, he came out with Gulu No. 1 and Gulu No. 2, carrying the three main dishes ordered by the three women.

At this, Ying Shuangshuang and Ji Yunruo both became unsettled.

"Wow, what an adorable kitten! It can even carry a plate!" Ying Shuangshuang's pupils seemed to turn into hearts as she couldn't help but reach out to hug one of the two kittens.

She had seen many cats, but Gulu's long, fluffy, silver-gray and dark silver fur looked incredibly soft and felt amazing to the touch. What's more, this was a cat that could carry plates; she had never seen such a smart cat in her entire life!

In an instant, the girl's heart was bursting with excitement.

"Meow~" Gulu No. 2 looked up at Ying Shuangshuang, and then obediently let her hug him.

Touching the long, soft fur that was even softer than she had imagined, Ying Shuangshuang's silly laughter echoed throughout the dining area.

Ji Yunruo opened her eyes wide and looked carefully at Gulu No. 1 in front of her.

So...so cute.

And for some reason, she seemed to feel a sense of familiarity with the kitten with its soft, long fur in front of her.

She glanced at Ying Shuangshuang, who had already picked up Gulu No. 2, and cautiously reached out her hand towards Gulu No. 1.

Who could resist such an adorable little goo?

Gulu No. 1 sniffed Ji Yunruo's hand carefully, then tilted its head and rubbed against it, a hint of human-like confusion flashing in its eyes.

Strange, why do I feel a sense of kinship with this human?

Thinking of this, Gulu No. 1 took the initiative to rush into Ji Yunruo's arms, and was caught by Ji Yunruo in a bit of a fluster.

Touching the soft, long fur of Gulu No. 1, Ji Yunruo's face lit up with a joyful smile. A pair of cat ears that looked just like Gulu's quietly appeared due to her excitement.

"Meow!"

At this moment, Gulu sensed an increasingly strong aura of its own kind. It suddenly raised its head from Ji Yunruo's arms and saw the pair of cat ears on Ji Yunruo's head that were very similar to its own. Its pupils slowly dilated, and some fragmented memories suddenly surfaced in its mind.

In Little Gulu's few early memories, there were many other cats with similar cat ears, who were once his closest companions.

"Meow~"

So... is this human also one of my kind?

It straightened up from Ji Yunruo's arms and gently licked Ji Yunruo's smooth, fair cheek.

Ji Yunruo's face immediately flushed slightly.

Fuya had already witnessed Gulu serving dishes in the Xingluo City store before, so she was used to it. Besides, she had petted Gulu many times before, so she just watched quietly from the side.

However, seeing the interaction between Gulu and Ji Yunruo, she still felt a little envious.

Gulu doesn't seem to be that close to me.

Is it because Yun Ruo's martial soul is the Mist Cloud Cat?

Fuya looked at Gulu thoughtfully.

Gulu is also a cat-type spirit beast, and it's a breed I've never seen before. Maybe that's why the two of them are so close?

Seeing the two girls having so much fun with the two Gulu, Qi Han smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is our newest member, Gulu."

As he spoke, he pointed to Gulu No. 1 in Ji Yunruo's arms.

Although the two Gulus are basically the same, as a pet owner who spends every day with them, Qi Han has no problem distinguishing between the real Gulus and its clone.

However, his subconscious action left the two girls, who had never seen Gulu before, with many questions in their minds.

Ying Shuangshuang blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what about mine? What's my little kitten's name?"

"This..." Qi Han and Fu Ya looked at each other with a strange expression upon hearing this.

"Meow!" Gulu No. 2 in Ying Shuangshuang's arms shook its body, broke free from Ying Shuangshuang's arms, and then leaped towards Gulu No. 1. In the astonished gazes of the two women, it merged into Gulu No. 1's body and disappeared.

"This is Gulu's innate ability, Mist Clone. There is actually only one Gulu." Qi Han smiled slightly. "Gulu is very smart. It can also help serve dishes in the store in the future."

After charming Star City, it's time for Shrek City to experience Gulu's charm!

"By the way, Gulu is a soul beast mutated from a Misty Cloud Cat. Maybe that's why he's closer to Yunruo." Even Qi Han felt a little jealous looking at Gulu clinging to Ji Yunruo.

A mutated mist cloud cat...

Ji Yunruo opened her eyes wide and looked at Gulu in her arms.

Although Gulu and Wuyun Cat are completely different now, their shared origins remain extremely strong.

So that's where the sense of familiarity comes from.

As if guided by some unseen force, Ji Yunruo lifted Gulu with both hands and gently touched her forehead to Gulu's forehead.

The two cat ears touched each other.

Chapter 233 The Fate of the Two Thousandth Sea God (Bonus Chapter 1/10 for Boss Loquat)

After introducing Gulu as the newest member of the shop, Qi Han slowly brought out three bowls of boiled cabbage and three small bowls of Qing Dynasty-style braised pork from the kitchen.

Before the three women could react, countless streams of primordial energy surged forth, transforming into six extraordinary phenomena that appeared in the restaurant.

Centered on the Cold Food Shop, the entire spiritual energy of Shrek City was disturbed in that instant.

When an anomaly occurs, it frantically draws away the surrounding spiritual energy from a small area, like a small area of ​​low pressure suddenly appearing in a high-pressure environment.

Even if the area of ​​low pressure is very small, it can still cause air currents over a large area.

Such a large-scale phenomenon, which was once a strange occurrence, could extend as far as one-tenth of Shrek City.

This does not mean that all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in one-tenth of Shrek City has been drained; it simply means that within this area, one can sense unusual fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Now, with the simultaneous appearance of the six strange phenomena, the scope of this influence is not simply cumulative, but has increased exponentially, to the point that it has covered the entire Shrek City for the first time.

Sea God Pavilion, Shrek City Auction House, Shrek City Battle Arena, Tang Sect Shrek Branch, and even the Shrek City Lord's Mansion, which is located on the other side of Shrek City.

Dozens of ninth-ring experts, or eighth-ring experts who were more sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of Hanshi in a flash.

Yes, Shrek, as a city, also has its own city lord.

As a city fully managed by Shrek Academy, its city lord is a direct descendant of Shrek Academy's powerful members and also a member of the Sea God Pavilion.

The Cold Food Festival... Is the gate open?

In the next instant, a group of powerful figures flashed and quickly appeared at the entrance of Hanshi Temple.

Leading the group were Tang Qianqiu, dressed in a golden robe, and an elderly man who looked like a farmer standing to the side.

Behind them stood dozens of powerful individuals, each at least at the eighth ring level.

These powerful individuals lived in the same city and were quite familiar with each other. Many of them were even fellow disciples from the same school. At this moment, they began to communicate with each other through telepathy. Before long, their expressions gradually became strange.

Oh, you're here too?

Yes, I'm here too.

What are you doing here?
