A Bite of Douluo Continent

"Although I don't know how you did it, this is truly the most delicious dish I've ever tasted in my life." Standing up straight, Feng Yi's face blossomed into a relieved and relaxed smile.

After a moment of silence, Qi Han answered softly.

"It's what I should do."

Chapter 250 After this meal, I'll go back to work! (Bonus chapter 10/10 for the Loquat Boss)

"Hmm... are we still going to be able to wait?" Ping Xinyan wrinkled her cute little nose slightly as she looked at the long queue in front of her, and tugged at her boyfriend's hand. "Why are there so many customers now? When I first came here, business wasn't this good!"

She still remembered that when she visited Qin Yuezhu two months ago, Qin Yuezhu took her to this restaurant called Hanshi. At that time, there weren't so many customers queuing up.

"I already told you, this shop is doing very well right now, so I wanted you to get up earlier." Qin Yuezhu's face showed a hint of helplessness as she gently tidied the slightly messy bangs on the forehead of the girl beside her. "I don't know which little lazy cat is it, staying in bed until the sun is high in the sky and still refusing to get up."

"Humph!"

Ping Xinyan's slightly chubby cheeks added to her adorable charm.

It's because you smell so good that I don't want to let go of you.

Silently muttering to herself, Ping Xinyan's pretty face flushed red.

She knew that the two of them were late because she had overslept.

but!

How could a fairy be wrong?

and so…

"You idiot, Ah Zhu, you're yelling at me!"

"I..." Qin Yuezhu looked at her girlfriend with a bewildered expression, "When did I yell at you?"

"You're just being mean!"

Blinking, Qin Yuezhu suddenly smiled, leaned down and kissed Ping Xinyan's pink cheek, "I was wrong, please forgive me."

"Alright then, I forgive you." Ping Xinyan's eyes immediately lit up with a smug smile, and she couldn't help but sway back and forth on the spot.

that's nice!

...

"Brother, why do my teeth suddenly feel a little sore?" Zhang Mo nudged Zhang Ji's shoulder, a strange expression on his face, and whispered to himself using a secret telepathic method.

They were in line in front of the young couple, and they could hear their conversation clearly.

Even the soft "smack" of Qin Yuezhu kissing Ping Xinyan's cheek was so clear...

Zhang Ji tried his best to keep his expression calm, but he couldn't hide the strange look in his eyes. His lips moved, and a voice came to his younger brother's ears.

"I heard that after Shrek Academy's Sea God's Fate, the disciples of Shrek's inner court will also participate in the monitoring team. Our Tang Sect's newly established monitoring team can take a break from its mission. When the sect leader wants to imitate the Sea God's Fate and hold a matchmaking event, how about... we brothers go too?"

“This…” Zhang Mo touched his square, dark face and nodded vigorously, “Great, if that pretty boy can find such a cute partner, then we brothers can definitely do it too!”

“That’s absolutely right.” Zhang Ji, the twin brother, couldn’t agree more.

...

Ping Xinyan and Qin Yuezhu were quite lucky. Although they arrived late, they managed to get a queue that stretched all the way to the store entrance before closing time.

Although they stood there for a long time, the little interactions between the couple made them feel that time flew by, and they did not become impatient because of it.

The two, who were only focused on each other, did not notice that the pair of brothers standing in front of them had left the group at some point.

People come to Hanshi Festival because they are hungry and want to eat.

Now that we're full, why bother queuing?

I, Zhang Ji/Zhang Mo, take my leave!

"Xinyan, I remember that during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament a while ago, Boss Qi also opened a shop in Star Luo City. Didn't you eat there back then?"

"Huh?" Ping Xinyan was taken aback at first, then an annoyed expression appeared on her face. "Our team leader this time is Old Demon Zou, the one I told you about before. During the competition, he watched us cultivate in the hotel every day and didn't allow us to go out even once. He said that slacking off is the original sin and that we should use every minute and second to cultivate and achieve better results for the academy."

Speaking of this, Ping Xinyan said with a hint of resentment, "In the end, we couldn't even beat the Star Luo Royal Academy, let alone Shrek Academy! We should have just gone out shopping instead!"

It should be noted that as the best advanced soul master academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teaching staff is in no way inferior to that of the Star Luo Royal Academy. In previous competitions, their goal was to defeat the Star Luo Royal Academy and become the second place.

As for defeating Shrek Academy and becoming number one, that's just wishful thinking.

If even this goal hasn't been achieved, it would indeed be better to just let the students relax and have some fun, as Ping Xinyan suggested.

If Ping Xinyan were still a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it would be inappropriate for her to complain about her teachers like this, but since she has already left the academy, it doesn't matter anymore.

Thinking that Boss Qi had actually opened a Hanshi restaurant in Xingluo City during the competition, while she had missed out on so many delicious foods because of Old Demon Zou, her resentment grew even stronger.

Qin Yuezhu put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulder as a gesture of comfort, but a strange look appeared on his face.

Ping Xinyan had complained to herself many times about the teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, nicknamed "Old Demon Zou." He was not only strict in his teaching but also extremely rigid and unyielding. There were quite a few students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy who had grievances against him.

"It's alright, I brought a lot of money with me today, let's eat something nice." Ruffling the girl's long hair, Qin Yuezhu's eyes were full of affection. "Besides, now that you've moved to Shrek City, we can come here often in the future."

"That won't do!" Ping Xinyan rolled her eyes and shook her head. "The food here is too expensive. It would cost a lot of money to eat here every day."

She looked at her beloved boyfriend, her eyes filled with seriousness. "Although our families are quite wealthy, since we are both powerful Soul Masters, we can't always ask our families for money."

"I've already made up my mind. Since I'm going to stay here for a long time, I'll find a suitable job to earn money, starting this afternoon!" Ping Xinyan's eyes showed more enthusiasm.

"After I finish this delicious meal, I'm going to go lay bricks!"

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you answering me?" Ping Xinyan pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, after making a spirited declaration about her hard work but receiving no response from her boyfriend. She tapped Qin Yuezhu's face with her slender, long fingers.

"Huh?" Qin Yuezhu stared blankly at the entrance of the Cold Food Festival shop, only then snapping out of her daze. She stretched out a finger and gently touched the girl's pouting lips until the girl's pink lips returned to normal. Then she smiled helplessly, "Xinyan, I think your idea is very good, but... isn't it a waste of talent for a Soul Master to be a bricklayer?"

"I was just saying." Ping Xinyan put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and the beautiful curves of her back were revealed through her clothes. "Moving bricks is definitely out of the question, but as for what I'll do, I haven't decided yet..."

“In that case, I have a good idea.” Qin Yuezhu pointed in the direction where he had been lost in thought.

What do you think of this?

Chapter 251 The Second Deliveryman

“This…” Following the direction Qin Yuezhu pointed, Ping Xinyan quickly saw the notice board hanging next to the entrance of the Hanshi store: “Hiring one food delivery driver?”

As she slowly read down the first line, her bright eyes grew even brighter.

Prioritize agility-based Soul Masters?

Isn't that just right for me?

And the working hours are very short, only four hours a day!

She only has to work during the lunch and evening business hours, which means she can not only sleep in late in the morning, but also take a nap in the afternoon and go to bed early at night.

Huh?

Why am I only thinking about sleeping?

Oh! That's not important!

The important thing is that she has a lot of free time outside of work!

The only problem is that the salary is negotiable.

A slight unease crept into her heart.

Such a famous store, the treatment... shouldn't be too bad, right?

Ping Xinyan's requirements weren't high. She hadn't thought about becoming rich and powerful, but a salary that was enough to eat wasn't too much to ask, right?

"Xinyan, it's our turn." Qin Yuezhu whispered a reminder beside her. Ping Xinyan, who had been lost in thought, finally came back to her senses. There was no one in front of them anymore, only Fuya standing in front of the shop, smiling at the two of them. "Welcome."

Although both Fuya and Ping Xinyan participated in this competition, they were not familiar with each other because the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy did not encounter each other in this competition.

They quickly found their seats. Ping Xinyan tugged at Fuya's sleeve, who was about to order for the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, is your restaurant hiring delivery drivers?"

Ok?

Fuya glanced at Ping Xinyan with some surprise. Upon closer inspection, she suddenly felt that the cute girl's face looked somewhat familiar. After a moment of thought, her eyes lit up. "I know you. You're a member of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's Soul Battle Tournament this year, right? I remember... you seem to be an agility-type?"

"Are you also a contestant?" Ping Xinyan asked, somewhat surprised and embarrassed. "Um... I'm sorry, I may not have seen you before."

“It’s alright.” Fuya shook her head and smiled. “I’m a reserve member of Shrek Academy’s current year’s team. I haven’t played much. I recognized you because I had seen the information on the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team before, so I had a vague impression of you.”

“I have already left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.” Ping Xinyan smiled, somewhat surprised.

She had some understanding of the composition of the Shrek Academy team.

Being able to become a reserve member of Shrek Academy already proves the girl's talent. Such a prodigy must be highly valued within Shrek. How could such a student be working as a waitress here?
