In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

Qiansha followed, "Captain Coco, I want to eat that plump puff ramen."

"Okay, no problem, Team Chisado."

"We still have to go eat ramen!"

"Let's go, brother. Go, go, go."

Coco pushed Ouyang Xuan, wanting to take him away, but after using all her strength, she found that Ouyang Xuan was standing there motionless. Because of Coco's thin arms and legs, if Ouyang Xuan didn't want to move, Coco couldn't push him at all.

"cocoa."

Qinzi, the sister-in-law, stepped in to smooth things over. "Ouyang and I have work to do, so we have to go to the client first. You guys go eat first. We've already booked a hotel for you. Just tell us your brother's name."

"But I still want to go eat ramen with my brother."

Coco's face was full of regret.

"Once we finish our work, we'll come find you. We're going back to the hotel tonight too."

"Then I'll pack one for you, brother. Do you want seafood or seafood?"

"Is there a difference?"

Ouyang Xuan asked, Coco just said seafood twice in two languages.

"Of course there are. One uses seafood, and the other uses fish and shrimp."

Coco said seriously.

Ouyang Xuan didn't say much about Coco's cunning behavior. He just left a vivid souvenir on Coco's head before leaving. It was a full-powered head explosion. Coco squatted down with her forehead covered in pain and had no strength to chase Ouyang Xuan.

"Ahhh!! Brother, you bastard! You actually flicked my head! Don't run! I'm going to fight you!"

"Stop it, my brother has a job, unlike us."

Minjin grabbed Keke's collar in annoyance.

"What? What? We have jobs too, okay? We're here to participate in the Hokkaido Ramen Festival School Idol Contest."

"You know we have work to do, so why are you still pestering me? Let's go! We still need to check out the set and talk to the staff. If you think everything in the industry is done automatically, don't underestimate the entertainment industry."

With an unquestionable aura, Minjin grabbed Coco's collar and dragged her away. No matter how Coco screamed and struggled, it was useless.

"Let's hurry up and catch up. If we're late, we might not be able to have those delicious round puff ramen anymore."

Chisado said.

"So our focus isn't on ramen. We need to work. They specifically invited us, so we should take it seriously."

Lian said seriously.

"Don't you want to eat?"

Qianshadu beguiled her, "A sweet cream floats on the greasy surface of the ramen, and a soft, crispy puff floats on top. The puff's crispy skin is filled with the fragrant broth of the ramen. The salty and fresh taste of the ramen and the sweetness of the puff intertwine together in one bite. It's simply the best."

"Also, whether it's the ramen bowl, the fish slices on top of the ramen, the puffs, or the soft-boiled eggs, they're all perfectly round!"

"That's the point you're making."

Xiangyin complained that her childhood friend had an inexplicable obsession with Yuan since he was a child.

"And this kind of ramen, with a puff on top, looks like a dark dish no matter how you look at it, don't you think, Ren?"

"Eh? Ah!"

Lian only reacted at this time, and quickly wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth with a guilty conscience, "Actually, it shouldn't be that dark, after all, we have to try it."

"Let's go too! Before starting work, eating a bowl of steaming hot ramen is the correct way for a true island worker to start his day. If you don't even eat ramen, then you're not just an ordinary worker."

"Qiansadu, you should apologize to all the workers across the country for making such outrageous remarks!"

Minjin dragged Coco along, so she couldn't go very fast. Xiangyin and the other two caught up in no time. Although it was all their first time in Sapporo, how could they not know the way with just a phone? Plus, there were signs for the Sapporo Ramen Festival everywhere, so they just had to follow them.

The venue for the ramen festival is the most famous commercial street in the area. It is much larger than the one where Kanon lives and the one where Riko Riko is located. It can even accommodate Chizuka's plan to expand Riko Riko's store. The crowds of people and the festive elements everywhere show that this event will be very grand. In order to liven up the atmosphere, the organizing committee also organized a school idol competition to warm up, which is why Coco and the other four came here.

Man is iron and rice is steel. Before officially starting work, you still have to fill your stomach first. The group was dazzled by the dazzling array of ramen shops on both sides of the street and didn't know which one to choose. In the end, they followed Qianshadu into the one that had puff ramen that she had wanted to go to for a long time.

The store is not big, but it is very popular, and it fully demonstrates the Japanese people's love of queuing. Amidst Coco's constant wailing that she is almost starving to death, the five people finally entered the ramen restaurant an hour later.

“Welcome~”

A black-haired young man stood in front of the bar to welcome Coco and the other four. Unlike the young man at the bar, the pink-haired young woman who was cooking noodles was extremely enthusiastic. She stood in front of the noodle pot and shouted "welcome" to Coco and the other four. Her voice was so loud that Coco felt the ceiling was shaking.

"Ah, do these two bosses look familiar?"

Coco scratched her head, feeling that this young couple with black hair and pink hair looked very familiar.

"Are you saying that all islanders look the same?"

Minjin complained.

"I'm not European or American, how could I not recognize it?"

"That's great."

This shop is now most famous for its puff ramen, and many people come here to try it. However, Coco and the other four don't plan to order this. Kanonren and Minjin are traditionalists and ordered tonkotsu ramen, while Coco and Chisa are trendy and ordered puff ramen. Oh, no, they ordered puff ramen.

The ramen was served very quickly. After all, it was a fast food meal. The pink-haired proprietress brought out five bowls of noodles at once, as if the ramen bowls filled with noodle soup and side dishes had no weight. She brought them up with three bowls underneath and two bowls on top.

"Ah! I remember now."

Coco exclaimed. When she saw the way the proprietress served the food, Coco's memory was suddenly awakened.

"She's the owner of that super delicious ramen shop near Shinomiya Hospital!"

"Oh, are you from Tokyo?"

Mitsuri asked.

Mitsuri Ganmita, the owner of a lesser-known ramen restaurant in Tokyo, and her husband Obanai Iguro run their ancestral ramen restaurant. The restaurant was founded by Obanai's ancestors when they moved from Osaka to Tokyo a hundred years ago. It has been passed down for four generations and is now in the hands of the newlywed couple Mitsuri and Obanai.

Although the taste is very good, it has not become famous. So after discussing it, the two decided to agree to the request of the uncle in Sapporo to temporarily take over the management of the uncle's ramen shop while the uncle was traveling abroad, and hope to make a name for themselves in this nationally renowned ramen festival. The progress is quite good so far. The puff ramen of this shop has become the first choice for young people to check in at the ramen festival.

"We are school idols and we are here to participate in this Ramen Festival."

Xiang Yin explained.

"Oh, I see. You're here to participate in that singing competition."

"It's not a singing competition, it's a school idol competition, school idol."

Coco corrected herself.

"Although I don't quite understand what this means, it's truly remarkable that you traveled all the way to Hokkaido to participate in the competition!"

Although Mitsuri doesn't really understand school idols, she likes people who work hard.

"This is a ramen shop. Let me cheer you on with some ramen. I'll treat you to my special collection of ramen. I'm going to keep it for myself."

"No need, Madam, we——"

Xiangyin wanted to refuse, but when she saw Mitsuri take out a bowl several times bigger than her face from under the table, her expression froze.

"Cheek, cheek! Mitsuri's special ramen that instantly restores your strength. It's filled with plenty of lard and meat. Just one bite and you'll be able to complete any task, no matter how hard it is!"

Mitsuri added, "We have to eat it all."

After saying this, Mitsuri left, leaving Coco and the other four looking at each other in bewilderment, and the one-meter-long bowl in front of them that was somehow hidden under the table and was filled with ingredients.

"This is a token of my love, please don't waste it."

Xiao Banei came out at this time and said silently.

As she spoke, Xiao Banai sprinkled a circle of chopped green onions on the ramen to add color and flavor. In order to make it easier for Coco and the other four to finish the meal, she also thoughtfully prepared empty bowls for them so that after they finished the noodles in their own bowls, they could continue to eat the large bowl brought by Mitsuri.

"Eat...eat?"

Looking at this bowl that could serve as a small bathtub, Lian had no idea how to use her chopsticks.

"How can we finish this? There are five of us girls."

Minjin complained.

"Finally, let's get started."

Xiangyin picked up the chopsticks.

"I'm gonna start now."

Qianshadu picked up the chopsticks with a serious look on his face and started eating the noodles in his bowl.

"We should have brought him here. We can't finish all the food—and we can even pack it up and bring it back to him."

Coco felt that her brother could do anything, including eating ten servings of ramen in front of him.

Chapter 49 The Missing Snow Girl.

The northernmost tip of Hokkaido is Rebun Island, hundreds of kilometers away from Sapporo. It is the hidden paradise of the Hokkaido snow women and the real destination of Ouyang Sun and Kotoko's trip. If it were not for the need to accompany Coco for a while and the request of Kanon's mother, who said that she was worried about these little girls going out alone, Ouyang Sun would have planned to fly here directly with Kotoko in his arms.

Chloe was assigned a small task by Ouyang Xuan, which was to buy a long list of specialties for Yang Cai in Sapporo, ranging from seasonings to ingredients.

The island was originally sparsely populated, and the mountainous area was even more desolate. Coupled with the sleight of hand cast by the snow maidens, this area looked like a primeval forest no matter how you looked at it, with only a winding path. What was strange was that in this deserted place, there was actually a small stall selling dumplings and tea. Ouyang Xuan was sitting in the shop, eating solid glutinous rice dumplings and drinking ice cola.

"Oh... Lord Ou... this... this is a daifuku stuffed with edamame from Sendai... please enjoy it slowly..."

The little snow girl with blue and white hair trembled as she carried a plate of dumplings to Ouyang Xuan. Just by getting close to Ouyang Xuan, her legs began to tremble violently, as if she would kneel down at any time. The green edamame-filled daifuku in her hand showed how chewy it was.

"Thank you."

"No...you're welcome...Master Ou."

In order not to scare the little snow girl further, Ouyang Xuan did not take the dumpling, but used the power of the chicken talisman to get it. Seeing Ouyang Xuan get the dumpling, the little snow girl ran away as if she had finally been pardoned, and hid beside the counter with other snow girls who were also children, looking at the husband of the princess.

Ouyang Falcon was waiting for Qinzi outside the Snow Maiden Village. Ouyang Falcon could not enter the Snow Maiden Village. It was not that the Snow Maidens did not let Ouyang Falcon in, but they did not dare to let Ouyang Falcon in at all. The barrier made by the Snow Maidens' ancestors was from an unknown sect, and it was extra sensitive to the magic power of the Tianshi Mansion on Ouyang Falcon. As soon as Ouyang Falcon entered, the whole barrier was shaking, and it was about to disintegrate. People might have thought that it was someone from Quanxing who saw Ouyang Falcon.

There was no other way, Qinzi could only leave Ouyang Xuan outside and followed the Snow Girl Village Chief into the village. The Snow Girls would naturally not treat Ouyang Xuan, the princess's husband, badly. They took out the stall that was used to rescue lost woodcutters in ancient times to entertain Ouyang Xuan. Although it had not been used for decades, it still looked brand new. In order to let Qinzi feel at ease to go in and talk about business, the Snow Girl Village Chief was considerate enough not to arrange for an adult Snow Girl to receive Ouyang Xuan, but instead found a few children.

After all, how could an adult have any opinion about someone who looks like a child?

"Chiyo, is this sir the legendary one who killed monsters in the capital without blinking an eye and never reasoned with them while killing them?"

A snow girl asked timidly.

"Yes!"

The snow woman named Chiyo became excited. "My uncle's second aunt's second daughter next door went to Tokyo to work. She saw with her own eyes this man pinning a monster to the ground and beating it to death. He punched it repeatedly on the head, until it became a pointy bone!"

"Turn your head into a pointy shape!? That's scary!"

"Yeah, how could someone beat a monster's head into a pointy shape?"

"The monster you're talking about was pursuing a girl in the city but got dumped. He got so angry he wanted to kill someone, but I subdued him. Also, he was a rhino monster. The pointy part was his nose, not his head. And he didn't punch. I only hit him once, and he passed out, but he didn't die."

"Chiyo, how do you know so clearly? It's like you saw it with your own eyes."

At the beginning, the little snow girl looked at Chiyo with admiration.

"Yeah, how did I know? And I didn't say anything just now."

The two little snow girls looked at each other, raised their heads one by one, and saw Ouyang Xuan standing in front of the counter, looking down at them. In an instant, the eyes of the two little snow girls were filled with tears, and they were about to cry. They were already weighing the last words in their hearts.

"Oh my, our two lovely little snow girls are hiding here and saying bad things about other people's husbands. What naughty kids we are."

Qinzi's light golden head popped out from beside Ouyang Shun.

"Princess!"

When the two little snow girls saw Kotoko, they rushed to her side as if they had seen a savior.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Qinzi stroked the trembling head of the little snow girl, who looked like a cat. "Ouyang doesn't eat monsters. He knows that eating monsters won't replenish his body. You don't have to be afraid."

"Ouyang has been working hard to protect me and the monsters who want to live in peace. He is a truly remarkable person. You shouldn't become afraid of someone you should respect just because someone else tells you to."

"I...we understand, Princess."

"Well, I like sensible children. What should I do with the child who just said bad things about others behind their backs?"

"Master Ou, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have said bad things about you behind your back."

The two little snow girls apologized to Ouyang Xuan obediently. They had lived in the Snow Girl Village since they were young and had never been out. To them, what the village chief and adults said was right. The village chief and adults all listened to the princess, so what the princess said must be more right!

"Don't scare the children, they just don't understand."
