A Bite of Douluo Continent

Then, two gold notes suddenly appeared in his hand, which he handed to Fuya before leaving.

Fuya stared blankly at the two gold notes worth a thousand gold soul coins in her hand, lost in thought.

That customer left without giving change…

...

Pan Kong is the owner of Pan's Trading Company, a chain of trading companies that spans the entire continent. Their family motto is: "If you're not making money, you're on your way to making money."

Of course, that was in the past.

Ever since they enjoyed a delicious meal during the Cold Food Festival, the Pan family has had a new ancestral motto: "If you're not making money, you're on your way to making money; if you're neither, then you're definitely eating rice during the Cold Food Festival."

Today marks the first time Hanshi has opened for lunch after being closed for over a month. Pan Kong, who happened to be in Shrek City, even postponed a customer's business upon hearing the news and lined up early to enter Hanshi.

He enjoyed a delicious meal of various dishes during the Cold Food Festival, satisfying his cravings that had lasted for over a month. He felt refreshed and incredibly happy.

So much so that when leaving the bill for the meal, he even generously prepared a tip for the hardworking and beautiful Miss Fuya.

However, not long after leaving Hanshi, the happiness on his face vanished without a trace.

He lost his money.

As the head of a top-tier business guild that dominates the continent, as the successor of the Pan Family Business, and as a man who adheres to family precepts and only loves making money, he lost his money!

Two gold notes worth one thousand gold soul coins were missing from his wallet, a fact that Pan Kong, who counted the gold notes in his wallet every day, was absolutely certain of.

He got robbed?!

Pan Kong, who had left Hanshi, stood silently on the street for a long time before stomping his foot hard.

"Damn thief!" Pan Kong cursed fiercely before quickly leaving in a huff.

Complaining was useless; he had to work harder to earn money to make up for the two thousand gold soul coins that had been stolen.

He jogged quickly, cursing again.

"Damn thief!"

...

"call!"

Qi Han let out a soft breath, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

After the midday business hours ended, the staff packed up and left.

Perhaps it was because he had grasped the true meaning of cooking, but despite the heavy workload today, he didn't feel too tired. Instead, he felt full of energy.

"Teacher, I feel that your cooking style today is very different from before?" Ye Lingqing, who was standing next to Qi Han, also noticed the change in him and couldn't help but ask.

"Is that so?" Qi Han smiled and then said, "Ling Qing, in the future, when you cook, pay more attention to the diners' reactions to the food you cook."

Gu Xu: "Huh?" Ye Lingqing scratched his head. "What's the use of this?"

"You'll see once you try it." Qi Han smiled mysteriously, offering no further explanation.

This is something you have to figure out for yourself. That's how he learned it too. Now, he doesn't offer much guidance to his disciples.

It all depends on how quick this kid gets to understand.

“Then I’ll give it a try.” Ye Lingqing nodded emphatically.

Although he didn't know the deeper meaning behind his teacher's words, he trusted them completely.

"You can continue practicing those two new vegetable dishes from lunch," Qi Han smiled. "That's your next task. I need to go out for a bit now."

The two vegetable dishes were ordered by many customers at noon, so Qi Han took the opportunity to teach Ye Lingqing how to cook vegetables during the cooking process, which became his task.

"Huh?" Ye Lingqing nodded. "Okay."

"Meow~"

Gulu let out a soft cry and was about to jump into Qi Han's arms to go out with him, but this time he just patted Gulu's head and said, "Little guy, I have a lot of places to go this afternoon, you should stay and get some rest."

"Meow meow."

Okay, okay.

After settling Gulu in, Qi Han stepped out of Hanshi Restaurant.

He had two things to do this time.

The first thing to do is to purchase a suitable shop through an agency as a new location for the side business.

The second thing is to communicate with the food association and tell them that I want to teach three dishes, so that they can help with the publicity and arrangements as soon as possible. This time, the participants need to vote to choose three dishes from twenty-four dishes, so a lot of preparation is needed in advance, and the earlier the better.

These two tasks require a lot of running around and waste a lot of time. Gulu has already worked very hard following him around the Sun and Moon Continent, so Qi Han decided to let the little guy rest.

Qi Han turned at the end of the street, heading towards the Food Association, which was closer to him.

At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

In an instant, Qi Han was completely plunged into darkness.

It was absolute darkness, devoid of any light. While stripping away all the light around him, it also seemed to strip away all of Qi Han's senses and thinking abilities, causing his gaze to gradually become still.

In the next instant, a light pattern quietly appeared on Qi Han's forehead. The light pattern resembled a delicate and small knife, but upon closer inspection, it looked like seven completely different knives overlapping together. Seven-colored light slowly flowed out, and the dazzling light pierced through the absolute darkness in an instant.

Qi Han's thoughts seemed to slowly thaw from being frozen, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, staring blankly at the deep darkness in front of him.

what's going on?

At that moment, Ruyi's urgent voice echoed in his mind, "Quickly enter the system space!"

This time, Qi Han did not hesitate at all. The moment Ruyi finished speaking, he was about to enter the system space.

At the same instant, a cold laugh came from the darkness, "A successor of the gods? Quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

Immediately afterwards, to Qi Han's horrified gaze, a terrifyingly huge dragon claw appeared in front of him, effortlessly severing Qi Han's connection with the system space with a single, gentle slash.

The transmission process was thus interrupted.

How can it be?

What kind of power would be needed to sever his connection with the system space?

"He is Di Tian!" Ruyi's voice appeared in Qi Han's mind, her words filled with astonishment.

Immediately afterward, Ruyi seemed to have thought of something and spoke again, "It's the Dragon God's Claw. This is the power that the Dragon God bestowed upon Di Tian. Although it cannot allow Di Tian to reach the level of a god, it is imbued with the aura of a god, so it can intercept the system's spatial teleportation."

Beast God Emperor Tian?

Qi Han was filled with shock and disbelief.

He would have accepted being attacked by the Beast God Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, but he was still in Shrek City. Why was Di Tian attacking him?

This is truly an undeserved disaster.

"Ruyi, what should I do?" he quickly asked silently in his mind.

“If you are teleported back into the system space, he will definitely try to intercept you again.” Ruyi’s voice became extremely calm. “If you hold him off for a moment, I can immediately reconnect you to the system space. Although I can’t let you in, I can send that knife out to you.”

That knife.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Qi Han's eyes.

The knife given to him by the creator of Ruyi could unleash an attack that was invincible below the level of a god, enough for him to resolve the current situation.

Can you hold it off for a bit...?

Understood.

Qi Han narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "You're Di Tian?!"

"Hmm?" A deep voice echoed again from the deep darkness, "Human, you really surprise me. I didn't expect you to not only be the inheritor of the gods, but also know of my existence."

"Why did you attack me?" Qi Han suppressed his nervousness and asked coldly, "Is it because I killed too many soul beasts while cooking?"

"Oh?" Di Tian's voice carried a hint of surprise, followed by a cold laugh. "You're overthinking it. A soul beast that's only a thousand or a hundred years old isn't worth my personal attention. The reason I'm taking action is because..."

Before Di Tian could finish speaking, Qi Han on the other side suddenly moved.

Almost instantly, an extremely terrifying aura locked onto Di Tian, ​​who was hidden in the darkness. The appearance of that aura made Di Tian's expression change instantly.

Qi Han now held a small, dark blue dagger, which was now unleashing an extremely terrifying power. That power had exceeded the limits of soul power and reached a higher level. The power of darkness was completely unaffected by this aura, melting away like ice and snow meeting the sun.

"Divine power?!" Di Tian's voice suddenly carried a hint of fear, clearly indicating that Qi Han had such a trump card that was beyond his expectations.

The inheritor of the gods…

Damn it, could this be a life-saving measure given to this kid by the gods behind the scenes?

Which deity could possibly favor their successor so much?

Di Tian cursed under his breath, feeling the threat of death in that instant.

He had no doubt that the knife contained the full force of that deity's attack, and he absolutely could not withstand that blow head-on.

The darkness vanished almost instantly, and Qi Han reappeared on the street, tightly gripping the dark blue dagger in his hand.

At this moment, however, Di Tian had already disappeared without a trace.

This…

Qi Han was clearly taken aback, and then his face darkened.

Di Tian has run away!

He had used up all his trump cards but hadn't left Di Tian behind.

This is a huge loss!

“Um…” Ruyi coughed lightly in the system space, “Actually, I haven’t used it yet.”

"Huh?" Qi Han blinked, somewhat stunned. "Didn't I already activate it?"

“Activation takes time. Di Tian ran too fast, and the sword hasn’t been fully activated yet…” Ruyi’s voice sounded a bit strange. “So it can still be used.”

"Oh... then it's nothing." Qi Han muttered, then leaned weakly against the wall.

I almost scared him to death just now.
