I'm not just human!

Xia Fa laughed:

"Indeed, in the canyon, one can use the Secret Contract ability almost without restriction and is not afraid of being killed, which is a good training method."

The two watched another game, and seeing that they really couldn't get a match, they left the lobby.

"Behind this first iron gate is the underground arena. Shall we go take a look?"

Chestnut smiled and said that she fully respected Xia Fa's decision.

Xia Fa thought for a moment and replied:

"There's not much to see in the underground arena. It's almost noon, so why don't we go eat?"

He immediately added after he finished speaking:

"It's settled then, this time it's on me."

A smile appeared in Chestnut's eyes:

"Okay, okay, I know, I won't fight you for it, let's go!"

Recommended by Chestnut, the two found a restaurant called "Pasatier" in the Midas neighborhood. The restaurant's specialties are lemon-fried fish and red wine-braised steak. Although they are just ordinary foods, they are cooked with a unique flavor.

"Xia Fa, let me tell you, yesterday afternoon was incredibly dangerous. You didn't see it, that big brother who signed the Silver Throne..."

While eating, Banli chatted with Xiafa with a smile. Xiafa occasionally responded with a laugh. It was clear that Banli was in a good mood today. Of course, Xiafa was also in a good mood.

The meal was quickly finished, and finally, it was time to say goodbye.

Chestnut is busy with church matters this afternoon, while Xia Fa plans to go to the Extraordinary Market to pick out some things.

As for the Mist God Hunting Grounds, he no longer plans to go there. The hunting rewards are too low, unless he encounters the remaining demigod-level supernatural creatures in the Mist God Hunting Grounds, but the probability of that is also low.

Especially after the death of the angel-level Black Abyss Worm, the other demigod-level supernatural beings probably all dug themselves up and hid.

Therefore, Xia Fa decided to conserve his energy for the afternoon, buy more secret treasures or sealing artifacts, and prepare to kill Pompeii when he attended the Augustus family's dinner that evening.

The two stood at the street corner, where pedestrians came and went. There were noblewomen with parasols, children holding lollipops, and many commoners and nobles who went out shopping because of the good weather.

"Shafa, I'm leaving."

Chestnut said this, but she still held Xiafa's hand and was unwilling to let go.

It was clear that she really didn't want to part with Xia Fa.

Xia Fa also felt a strange sense of reluctance. He was very happy and relaxed with Chestnut, a feeling he had never had before. He only felt this way when he was with Benedict.

Xia Fa glanced at his watch and saw that it was only one o'clock in the afternoon. His eyes then turned and he saw an ice cream shop called "Aiscream" on the side of the street.

"How about we have another ice cream?"

Xia Fa tentatively suggested it, and to her surprise, the reluctance on Ban Li's face immediately turned into happiness, and she readily agreed:

"it is good!"

The two arrived at the Escrim ice cream shop. Fortunately, everyone in Augustus had gone to the three smaller towns of Rum, so this usually bustling shop had no one in line.

I bought two chestnut-flavored ice cream cones, one pound each. They were big scoops of ice cream topped with sweet chestnuts, and they looked incredibly tempting.

"Here, I'll let you in on a secret. This is my favorite ice cream."

Chestnut handed one of the larger chestnut ice creams to Xiafa, and the two found a bench on the street, sat down, and ate their chestnut ice cream while watching the pedestrians come and go.

The bright, clean sunlight shone down warmly on the two of them. Xia Fa looked at his smooth, chestnut-like profile and the few strands of hair hanging down, then turned to look at the pedestrians on the street.

Chestnut seems to really love chestnut-flavored ice cream, just like her name contains the character "chestnut." As she eats the ice cream, her fluffy round ears twitch, and she looks very happy.

"So much has happened these past few days. Grandpa asked me to investigate the mastermind behind the Snow Demon's second loss of control. Fensne, Ethan, and I have been investigating for a long time, but we haven't found any clues."

While eating chestnuts, he suddenly looked up and exclaimed, his upper lip still smeared with ice cream:

"I don't know when I can go back to the peaceful days of the past. Actually, I really want to buy a small house in the suburbs of Rum City, so that every day after get off work I can sit outside the house, watch the golden wheat fields, and watch the sun gradually set."

Her dark, bright eyes revealed a deep longing:

"If I could be with someone I love, leaning on each other, watching the sunset together, that would be even better, I—"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly glanced at Xia Fa and saw him smiling at her. The rat girl blushed and couldn't continue.

"Thinking about it that way, it really is a beautiful scene."

Xia Fa sighed. If Ban Li really wanted to live that kind of life, he would definitely make it possible for her if he had the ability.

The two continued chatting, while pedestrians came and went on the street. The chestnut ice cream was delicious, and it was a wonderful afternoon. They would chat for a while now and then fall silent, watching the pedestrians on the street together. A gentle breeze would occasionally brush against Chestnut's hair, carrying her faint chestnut scent.

Xia Fa suddenly felt that she wished this kind of time would never end.

But the corn ice cream would eventually be finished, and it was almost 2 p.m.

"See you tomorrow, Xia Fa!"

Even though she was reluctant, Banli had no choice but to get up and say goodbye to Xiafa.

Fortunately, they both realized that there would be many more dates like this in the future.

We're all from the same church, so we see each other every day. It's not like we'll only see each other once a day.

Xia Fa then smiled slightly:

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

They parted ways at the street corner of Damais Street, but Xia Fa didn't see that after he had turned around and walked a long way, Chestnut suddenly turned back and stared at his back.

Until his figure disappeared at the next street corner.

……

More than an hour later, Shafa returned to Rum City by public carriage.

Pushing open the door to the small attic, Xia Fa went straight to the second floor, intending to first divine the golden gem, and then try to divine the seal in the shape of a horse-slaying sword to see if he could divine out any new abilities.

"I'm still a little hungry..."

He rubbed his stomach. He had eaten ordinary food for lunch today, not any extraordinary food, and now he actually felt a little hungry.

However, Xia Fa didn't pay much attention to it and planned to make himself a stewed bear paw after the divination was over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down in the bedroom, his figure vanished in a flash.

……

The familiar mahogany table in the bedroom has been transformed into a dining table over 300 meters long, laden with all sorts of extraordinary dishes, steaming hot.

On either side of the dining table were short, subhuman figures carrying cloth bags, all staring at him in shock.

Xia Fa felt a bit amused and exasperated, as if the conditions for triggering his ability to randomly freeload meals were becoming increasingly simple.

I was just feeling hungry, yet I was able to start a bowel movement?

They don't even need a dining table anymore!

As the saying goes, "Since you're here, make the best of it." Xia Fa didn't care where he was and was about to pick up his knife and fork to start eating, especially since those extraordinary feasts were really tempting.

But I never expected...

The sound of wheels rolling rang out, and a tall, slender man with an elegant face, pushing a food cart, suddenly appeared not far from Xia Fa.

Both Xia Fa and the demi-humans carrying cloth bags were greatly startled.

It's all because of... this man...

A true gourmet!

Chapter 160 The Ultimate Showdown: The First Meeting Between a Glutton and a Gourmet!

The Cloth Bag Dynasty, the palace of the King of Bronze Cloth Bags.

At first glance, the entire palace resembles a cloth bag, larger than a mountain, lying horizontally on the ground with slightly wrinkled surfaces.

The palace's decor was also different from that of humans.

Large and small golden bags hung from the ceiling, shimmering with golden light, their contents seemingly absorbing the sunlight streaming in from the window.

The floor was also made of dark blue cloth bags embroidered with gold thread, making it difficult to make a sound when stepping on it.

Only the dining table, which was a full three hundred meters long, seemed to have been purchased from humans. It was made of pear wood and had vine patterns on the edges, making it quite elegant and grand.

But at this moment, the palace of the King of Bronze Bags was eerily silent.

No one could have imagined, nor could anyone have predicted, that the recently rising star, "The Glutton," who has even been ranked among the top three entities by many busybodies, would...

Surprisingly... he appeared at the same time as the physical "gourmet" in the palace of the Bronze Cloth Bag King of the Cloth Bag Dynasty!

A 300-meter-long dining table, with demi-humans carrying cloth bags, also known as the "cloth bag tribe," facing a table full of steaming, extraordinary food, yet not daring to move.

The Glutton, whose entire body was so blurred that his features were completely indistinguishable, was sitting upright in one of the seats.

The glutton seemed completely unconcerned about the arrival of the gourmet, and picked up his knife and fork to begin his feast.

The gourmet, however, wore an elegant smile and pushed his cart toward the glutton.

As depicted in many picture books and newspapers, the gourmet was as elegant as a nobleman from a wealthy and distinguished family, rather than a mysterious and infinitely powerful entity.

To be honest, the descendants of the Bronze Bag King were originally very happy and welcoming of the appearance of Lord Gluttony.

However, food critics also appeared, and what would happen next was completely unpredictable.

A chill ran through me, and all sorts of terrifying tales about physical entities that I had heard before uncontrollably surfaced in my mind.

The cloth bag tribe panicked, but Xia Fa was actually even more panicked than they were.

He never expected that he would accidentally activate his ability to randomly freeload a meal and come here to ask for a free meal, and he would actually... encounter another entity!

He's a highly accomplished gourmet, both in the physical world and in the real world!

Bah! What other entity? I'm not even a real entity myself...

Xia Fa instinctively wanted to stand up and teleport back immediately.

After all, it's unlikely that we'll encounter that unknown entity resembling heavily armored cavalry again this time, so we can go back whenever we want.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

When he first came into this world and accidentally fell into a hole, it was the first time he encountered a physical being.

That is, the stunningly beautiful and perfect creature, the Queen of All Poisons, Veronica, the Holy Poison Bee Queen.
