A Bite of Douluo Continent

To the Village Chief:

The three-day food festival has come to an end. Many people expressed their love for our Mowu dumplings, and there was even one person named…”

Ye Lingqing recalled the short, stout but exceptionally talkative gentleman, and a smile appeared on her face.

That gentleman was so certain yesterday, he should do what he said, right?

I'll talk to Grandpa Village Chief first, that should be fine.

With this in mind, Ye Lingqing continued writing.

"...Mr. Pan Kong, he is the owner of Pan's Trading Company. Pan's Trading Company is the same Pan's Trading Company in Notting City. I only found out after I came here that Pan's Trading Company actually has branches all over the continent!"

Mr. Pan Kong is particularly fond of our Mo Wu Troupe. He said that he would personally go to Zhilan Village in a while to discuss with you the plan to sell the Mo Wu Troupe to various parts of the mainland. If it is successful, my wish will be fulfilled.

After arriving in Shrek City, I realized how difficult it was to get into the top ten. No wonder you weren't very optimistic about it back then. But fortunately, with Mr. Pan Kong's help, the Mo Wu Group should still be able to sell in many places, and the uncles and aunties in the village can also take this opportunity to make a good profit.

I will send you twenty gold soul coins with this letter. This is part of the money I have earned during this time. The village chief has always taken good care of me. After my father and mother passed away, the village chief is my closest relative. So please take this money and rest assured that I am doing well now. You don't need to worry about me.

I probably won't be coming back for a while. There are many customers in Shrek City who like the Ink Crow Dumplings, so this business can probably continue, and besides…”

Ye Lingqing's eyes flashed with anticipation and nervousness.

I wonder if my idea can become a reality...

"...I have another plan, but since I'm not sure if it will succeed, I won't tell you about it for now. If it succeeds, I will tell you in my next letter."

After signing his name, Ye Lingqing carefully folded the letter and took out an envelope from the drawer.

Send this letter tomorrow morning.

Ye Lingqing thought to herself, a smile appearing on her face.

Lying back down on the bed, Ye Lingqing closed her eyes, and for some reason, a beautiful red-haired figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

That girl named Ying Shuangshuang is the same age as me.

But she's amazing! She's a student at Shrek Academy, unlike me. My martial soul is just an ordinary rolling pin. I don't have innate soul power, and I have no way to cultivate.

I've heard that there's a dish during the Cold Food Festival that can improve innate soul power, allowing those who can't cultivate to become soul masters. It costs one thousand gold soul coins.

If it's that expensive, I probably can't afford it, so forget it. It's fine if I don't have soul power.

And she was actually an employee of Hanshi Restaurant.

I wish I could be a member of the Cold Food Festival.

So... what is she doing now?

Chapter 321 A Bouquet of Thanks (Bonus Chapter for the Eleventh Helmsman of this Book, Little Rabbit)

"Squeak~"

"whee…"

Hearing the occasional soft laughter coming from the bed next to her and the slight creaking of the bed frame as she rolled around, Fuya, who had just closed her eyes, suddenly opened them. She jumped off the bed with a "whoosh," leaped onto Shuangshuang's bed, and yanked off the blanket that she had used to wrap herself up tightly.

"Huh? Fuya? Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Clap clap clap!"

...

After playing around for a while, both women were covered in sweat, and finally stopped and lay down side by side.

"So, Ye Lingqing won't be going back anytime soon?" Fuya turned her head to look at Ying Shuangshuang, her face showing a hint of speechlessness.

After chatting with Ye Lingqing for a few minutes, Ying Shuangshuang's mood suddenly improved. On the way back, she would occasionally chuckle to herself, but she wouldn't say what they talked about.

Even when lying in bed at night, this girl is restless.

Under Fuya's unbearable slap, she finally confessed.

"Yeah, he can stay in Shrek City for a while!" Ying Shuangshuang chuckled again, but quickly hissed and frowned. "Fuya, you hit me too hard! My bottom still hurts!"

"Serves you right!" Fuya couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Hmm... it's not that I couldn't resist hitting a few more times because I felt so good.

"Sigh." Fuya raised a hand and gently tapped Shuangshuang's forehead with her finger. "Shuangshuang, I'm afraid you'll get too deeply involved, and you'll be the one who gets hurt in the end."

"No way," Ying Shuangshuang laughed carelessly. "He doesn't have soul power, he can't beat me."

Fuya: "..."

"Is this the injury I'm talking about?" Fuya couldn't help but roll her eyes. At this moment, she started to worry about the boy named Ye Lingqing.

She shook her head gently, then moved slightly, intending to sit up and go back to her own bed to sleep.

a long time…

"Shuangshuang, move your legs away, I'm going back to my own bed to sleep."

"No, no, we haven't slept together in so long. Now that you're here tonight, you're not leaving, hehe."

"... "

...

Silent all night.

The next morning, Qi Han woke up early with Ruyi's wake-up service. He quickly remembered something and opened the task page to check it.

Side Quest Six: Conquer the Food Festival (Completed)

Quest Rewards: Randomly drop 2 recipes (claimable), Soul Power Level +2 (claimable).

Seeing that the sixth side quest was finally completed, Qi Han couldn't help but smile.

"Ruyi, the results are in?"

"Yes, the Food Association released the rankings early this morning, and your side quest was completed simultaneously," Ruyi said softly.

Qi Han nodded and accepted the soul power level reward without hesitation.

As the warm current flowed through his meridians and finally converged into his dantian, strengthening his soul power, his soul power level increased from level thirty-five to level thirty-seven.

Next, the recipes will drop randomly.

Qi Han sat up in bed, startling Gulu who was sleeping peacefully beside him.

"Meow~"

Good morning, pet owner!

"Good morning, Gulu." Qi Han patted Gulu's head, then quickly ran to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Meow!"

Upon seeing this, Gulu suddenly bristled.

I'm not dirty, you're just disgusted by me, human!

After washing his hands, Gu Qihan intended to go straight into the system space to start a second draw, but after meeting Gulu's resentful gaze, he scratched his head and realized what was going on. He then explained with a smile, "Sorry Gulu, I washed my hands not because I dislike you, but because I'm about to draw a prize."

lottery?

Gulu tilted his head to the side.

What's that? Is it as tasty as cat food?

After explaining, Qi Han could no longer suppress his eagerness and instantly entered the system space.

Soon, the frantic shouts of two gambling addicts echoed through the system space.

"Five stars! Five stars! Five stars! Five stars!"

However, it turns out that sometimes washing your hands alone cannot change your unlucky ancestry.

Two-star recipe: Mapo Tofu.jpg

Two-star recipe: Sweet and Sour Pork.jpg

Although both dishes were dishes that Qi Han liked very much, it still couldn't change the fact that he only got the lowest two-star recipe from the randomly dropped recipes.

Hmm... Try to think positively. Two-star recipes are cheaper and more popular with diners, aren't they?

Comforting himself with this thought, Qi Han casually pinched Ruyi's chubby cheeks, which annoyed the little girl.

The training space is still filled with the practice of Dinghu Shangsu. We can't learn the two two-star recipes for now, so we'll leave them for later.

The food festival consumed a large amount of the recipes that had been stockpiled, and Qi Han's inventory was now running low.

Besides the Dinghu Shangsu I'm currently practicing and the two two-star recipes I just drew, all that's left is the four-star recipe for Peony Fish Slices, which can only be unlocked at the fifth ring level.

There's not much hope for the peony fish fillets for now; we'll see about that later.

Now that the food festival is over, I can finally settle down and strive to complete Dinghu Vegetarian Restaurant as soon as possible.

Having figured out his next goal, Qi Han came from the system space to the training space and continued practicing Dinghu Shangsu, which he hadn't touched for several days.

Fortunately, I haven't gotten rusty yet.

Brave Qi Han, unafraid of difficulties!

...

Qi Han practiced day and night in the training space, while time quietly passed outside. In the blink of an eye, it was noon opening time.

Ye Lingqing stood at the very end of the line, tiptoeing to observe the flow of people ahead of her, and couldn't help but marvel.

Mr. Qi's business is even more booming than before the food festival.

The doors weren't even open yet, but there were already over two hundred people queuing outside.

Ye Lingqing is not planning to sell the Ink Crow Balls today.

After three busy days, he needed a day to settle himself down. At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to thank Boss Qi in person.

After all, the kind people who helped him later were all from Hanshi. In other words, without Qi Han's initial help, none of the subsequent events would have happened. Perhaps his shop would still have been deserted during the three-day food festival.

Gratitude shouldn't come empty-handed, so Ye Lingqing held a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

He personally picked this bouquet of flowers early in the morning from a flowerbed in the suburbs; each flower was the freshest and most delicate.
