Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 430 Gu Yuena: "This is clearly my date..."

"good to eat!"

The restaurant that Gu Yuena chose was a thousand-year-old establishment in the North District. Only in the Douluo Continent area would a restaurant dare to claim to have a thousand-year history.

In Xingluo City and Tiandou City, some shops even dare to claim a history of ten thousand years. Shrek City used to have such shops, but they certainly don't anymore.

This shop has royal investment, and the sun and Purple Radiance Extinction Dragon reliefs at the entrance are very prominent. These two martial souls are of higher quality than the Heavenly Soul and the original Douling royal family's martial souls.

Xingluo is a weapon-type martial soul, and it relies on mechanics, so it's not easy to compare them.

But that's not surprising. To be able to open a restaurant in such a prime location as the North District, one must definitely have some connection with royalty.

Especially since this location offers a glimpse of the palace's splendor.

At this moment, the people inside the building were mostly ministers who had just finished their court session; there were relatively few nobles. The shop owner looked at the somewhat deserted restaurant and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Others might not know, but he, who lived in the North District, knew that more than a dozen restaurants in the North District had closed down in the past two years, and the remaining restaurants were barely surviving.

Previously, nobles and playboys helped prop up the businesses here, but after Prime Minister Otto came to power, countless nobles were purged.

All the spoiled brats with connections have run away; staying in Mingdu is like courting death, making it impossible to sleep peacefully.

His restaurant was lucky because its backer had long sided with Xu Tianran, so it wasn't affected, though business was a bit slow.

The ministers of the Sun Moon Empire place great importance on etiquette, which they learned from the Douluo Continent.

Four thousand years ago, they lost to Douluo Continent, so they naturally began to learn some of Douluo Continent's useful systems. Unfortunately, they could not learn the Soul Master aspect no matter what.

It is an indisputable fact that the quality of martial spirits in the Sun Moon Empire is generally lower than that in the Douluo Continent.

In a corner of the restaurant, Huo Yuhao and the others sat there. Xia Mi shamelessly flaunted the food on the table, like a glutton who hadn't eaten for months.

The other people in the restaurant couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Huo Yuhao and his group. The waiters also looked on with curiosity. The customers who dined here were all wealthy and powerful, and they all paid great attention to etiquette.

In the upper class of Mingdu, being labeled as "undignified" is essentially a death sentence.

The nobles of the Sun and Moon Empire play more elaborate games than those of other empires. Here, even flirting with the Holy Spirit Cult is a symbol of status and prestige. The more despicable they are behind the scenes, the more glamorous they must appear on the surface.

This situation has improved a lot in recent years. Nobles no longer dare to call themselves nobles in public, lest they be targeted by someone with ulterior motives and put on a purge list.

The purge three years ago terrified everyone. It disregarded status and rank; anyone on the list was killed, and even children and the elderly were not spared.

No matter who comes, it's useless. The old emperor is bedridden, and the prime minister and crown prince hold all the power and have formidable military strength. If they really want to kill someone, even Kong Deming might not be able to protect them.

The purge never ended; it just meant that everyone on the list was killed.

Although Xia Mi ate in a crazy manner, no one dared to say anything. The reason was simple: Huo Yuhao had never hidden his identity.

The identities of Spirit Ice Douluo, Passionate Commander, and Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda can be easily found on the Magic Network. During the period of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, all restaurant waiters were required to memorize the faces of powerful figures with names and surnames on the continent.

This isn't some female-oriented fantasy world. The people of Douluo Continent are simple and honest. If a powerful person wants to kill you, they won't just kill you, but also your whole family.

Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched involuntarily. Was this shrimp a representative of desire or gluttony? It was already almost as powerful as Little Ika.

The thought of Feng Jin's white horse made Huo Yuhao feel uneasy.

Some time ago, Feng Jin returned to Xilu City and was commissioned by Xilu City Hospital to treat and research a patient with a rare disease whose symptom was unlimited cell proliferation.

Because it was so unusual, the diseases were all named after the patients. Little Ika couldn't help, so she was entrusted to Roman to feed for a few days.

Poor Roman, overwhelmed by hunger and with eyes practically glowing green, outsourced Little Ika to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was also shocked by Little Ika's enormous stomach. No wonder Norton defined her as a glutton; she was terrifying.

Even the Shadow Cat was defeated and ran away from home that day to seek refuge with the Butterfly, fearing that Little Ika would show it off.

Fortunately, Feng Jin took Little Ika back in time. For some reason, as long as it stayed next to Feng Jin, its gluttony would be suppressed.

In Huo Yuhao's view, it seemed more like Little Ika had deliberately shut down this ability that could be considered devouring, for fear of eating Feng Jin out of house and home.

Gu Yuena looked at Xia Mi, who was frantically eating, and a pang of heartache flashed in her purple eyes. It seemed that Xia Mi hadn't eaten anything for hundreds of years.

The other dragons probably live much worse lives than she imagined.

This is a dereliction of duty on her part as a dragon god and the master of a soul beast.

"Don't rush, eat slowly. You can order more if you're not full."

Gu Yuena's cool voice carried a gentle tone as she poured Xia Mi a glass of juice. Xia Mi suddenly paused, feeling a little embarrassed as she looked at Gu Yuena's gentle demeanor.

Although the otaku dragon, who prefers to stay at home, seems to enjoy spouting nonsense and has a sunny disposition in public, Xia Mi is actually not good at dealing with gentle people.

"Hehe, you're so nice, thank you!"

She swallowed the food in her mouth with force, and an embarrassed smile appeared on her face.

Xia Mi's smile made Gu Yuena very happy; at least she wasn't disliked by this second-generation Dragon King.

Although she didn't say it, Gu Yuena actually really wanted to gain the approval of these second-generation dragon kings.

"Could you please not come to freeload at times like this in the future? The dating game on the Magic Network didn't teach this part." Miss Silver Dragon sighed inwardly. Today's date was ruined, even though she had booked a hotel nearby.

Following the game's progression, first eat to increase favorability, then extend the time and invite the other person to stay at your place, citing the late hour.

When she sent the plan to Feng Jin for advice, Feng Jin replied with "...". Feng Jin thought that the process was too fast. Reality was not like this. It was more like a casual hookup than a relationship.

Gu Yuena felt really tired. The way humans fall in love really baffled dragons. Dragons are so much better. They are simple and direct. If they like someone, they will fight with them and take the winner back to their lair.

The instinctive memories that the Dragon God gave to Gu Yuena were outdated, perhaps because he didn't have memories from before he became a god, when the dragon race was still in a primitive state.

During the reign of Emperor Tian, ​​the dragon race's lifestyle was not much different from that of human society; they also understood etiquette and ethics. Coming to his senses, Huo Yuhao realized that if he didn't eat something soon, he might have to eat fried chicken outside today. Just as he was about to reach for his chopsticks, a pair of chopsticks suddenly came into his view.

Xi Lian, who had been silent all along, suddenly picked up a piece of silver lobster tail meat and placed it in Huo Yuhao's bowl.

A playful smile appeared on her face, and she said softly:
"This looks delicious, shall we try it, buddy?"

It's right, it's finally right! The huge weight that had been hanging over Huo Yuhao's heart finally lifted. He knew that Xi Lian's unusual quietness during this period was very strange!

It's like when the homeroom teacher sees Jiahao suddenly becoming low-key and quiet in the class, they might think he's pretending to be sweet and is preparing to trick him.

But Huo Yuhao was no ordinary person; this was nothing to him. Since the food was already in his bowl, it would be a waste not to eat it.

Hogus was a man who cherished food; he would eat every single grain of rice in his bowl.

He picked up some lobster meat with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, nodded slightly, and said:
"Not bad, the chefs of the Sun Moon Empire are quite skilled."

Gu Yuena, who was about to feed Xia Mi, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and froze.

If she remembered correctly, today was theoretically supposed to be her date with Huo Yuhao.

This was the first time in her life she had been so outgoing, but why was that?
She was careless, focusing only on the Dragon King beside her, not realizing that the quiet pink hound was the real enemy!

There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names; this pink vicious dog is truly ferocious!

Gu Yuena turned her chopsticks around and put the food into Huo Yuhao's bowl, her purple eyes filled with seriousness.

"eat!"

Xia Mi opened her mouth, ready to abandon her Dragon King dignity and accept Gu Yuena's feeding, but found that the food was slow to enter her mouth.

She opened her eyes in confusion, then her amber eyes widened slightly as she watched Gu Yuena and Xi Lian keep putting food into Huo Yuhao's bowl.

On one side is the Soul Beast Lord with a serious expression, and on the other side is a pink vicious dog with a mischievous smile. They are truly a pair of smiling tigers and two black horn sharks!

Huo Yuhao and Xia Mi exchanged a glance. Perhaps the bond between God and the Scourge of God was at play, because Xia Mi actually understood Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with eating fast food. May I leave?"

Xia Mi rarely saw her ruthless capitalist suffer a setback. Her face contorted with the expression of a bloodthirsty spectator. She shook her head slightly, her lips moving in silent lip-reading as she spoke:
"Heh! That won't do!"

"What will I eat if you leave?"

"Good luck, boss! You brought us here on your own initiative!"

"Please, please don't let those two start fighting!"

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to lip-read a response, Gu Yuena's chopsticks shot straight toward his mouth, nearly poking his nose.

Miss Silver Dragon's movements were already somewhat flustered; her knowledge of romance came entirely from online novels and games.

The Douluo Continent is dominated by pure love, which made her unsure how to deal with this situation. However, she has experienced a lot in the past few years and gained a lot of experience.

If it were the inexperienced Gu Yuena, she would probably already be at the red-hot level by now, ready to snatch him away.

If you like someone, you should try your best to grab them!

Even now, Gu Yuena was still a little embarrassed. Watching Xi Lian methodically serving food to Huo Yuhao, and even making some small moves, Gu Yuena couldn't understand why there was such a shameless woman!

She finally understood why so many people hated minotaurs!
Due to the pride of the dragon race and her own personality, she was too embarrassed to learn how to do it.

She leaned against Huo Yuhao's side, fidgeting, and gently hugged his arm.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

"They're clinging to my arm, how am I supposed to eat?"

"Using mental power? That's not impossible."

Seeing this scene, Xia Mi felt that even dying would be worth it; just looking at this scene was enough to make her eat eight bowls of rice.

"Heh, boss, you've finally met your match!"

"Please enjoy it yourself."

"How about I add fuel to the fire for you?"

This little shrimp wants to eat the whip again. Huo Yuhao will definitely use the Whip of God to thoroughly investigate her later!

Gu Yuena blushed, having almost completely forgotten her theoretical knowledge. Her extraordinary wisdom told her that she should use her extraordinary power!
"Ugh! Why don't we just tie him up and force him into a secret room or a cave!"

Miss Silver Dragon's extraordinary wisdom began to generate wicked ideas in her mind, thinking of tying Huo Yuhao up to a cave in the Star Dou Great Forest that no one could find.

Meanwhile, a message quietly arrived within Huo Yuhao's magic network.

"Little Huo's Medical Clinic Apprentice": "Brother Huo, I'm Jiang Nannan. I'll be heading to Mingdu soon to register for the competition. I saw your magic network address is over there. Would you like to get together sometime?"

An unknown blonde female passerby humbly sent a message, and Huo Yuhao could only reply to her helplessly in his mental sea.

"Gale Force 8: "Let's talk about it next time. We're currently fighting the silver dragon and the pink hound, and we'll soon have to teach those spectators a lesson."

"I wish you good luck in the competition! Keep it up! Don't embarrass yourself!"

"Little Huo's Medical Clinic Apprentice": "Then you're busy! Be careful."
