654 I Am Really Sorry For My Wing (1/2)

In the restaurant lounge, Wang Lu kindly and thoughtfully served the triumphant heroine cold liquor to restore the physical strength.

The sweaty Aya nodded tirelessly, washed her hands in the basin, took over the offered sweet wine. However, her wrist was actually unable to hold the cup and it slipped through her fingers.

Wang Lu immediately reached out and grabbed the wine cup. He then took it to Aya and gave her a mouthful to drink. A moment later, the girl's pale cheeks showed a tinge of red, and her blurred eyes were restored to a certain degree of clarity.

”That was dangerous! If he hadn't quit halfway, I nearly couldn't hold it.” Aya shook her head and was quite dissatisfied with her vulnerability. ”It seems that my practice is not enough.”

Wang Lu said, ”Don't blame the victor, it's just a well-known act my one hundred victory girl. You competed against the Food Immortal by intuition rather than skill, in each dish you have to predict using all of your concentration, so it costs no less than an intense battle. And you have been able to fight more than two hundred and eighty times in succession. This resilience is second to none among the Supremes.”

Aya said, ”But ultimately, the victory lays in your arrangements…”

Wang Lu took the empty cup from Aya, turned around and then picked up two shinning immortal fruits for her.

”I'm still worried that you are dissatisfied with this despicable machination.”

Aya said, ”Although I hate despicable things, all your arrangements are within the rules, so I don't feel that this is repulsive. And I even enjoyed fighting against such an opponent. However, this kind of victory could only be achieved once. Next time the opponent would be cautious and would not leave any chance to be taken advantage of.”

Wang Lu said, ”It doesn't matter, next time, I would crush them with strength in an open and aboveboard way.”

As Aya ate the fruit, she looked at Wang Lu suspiciously.

Crushing with strength in an open and aboveboard way? This sentence… doesn't fit with you at all you know.

”Dead Face, see what I bring back today!”

In the A17 Area, a healthy teenager, carrying two food boxes, kicked the door of a residential building.

Behind the door, in the dark environment, two dark green eyes opened, and then a stiff and hoarse voice rang out, ”Little Mouse, I've warned you not to destroy my door anymore.”

”Hahaha, don't be so rigid, today I return with a full load! The Full Mountain Red Restaurant in the Human Five Area is offering excellent dishes free of charge. And I stake my life to grab two boxes of food in the middle of a group of cultivators for you! It's absolutely good stuff, totally incomparable with the ones that are automatically generated everyday in this room!”

With that, Shu Si opened the food box and let the refreshing dish fragrance spread out.

”Hahaha, what do you think? Cool isn't it? Don't put on your usual long face, you can droll if you want. Don't worry, it's not stolen, it's really a big gift from the restaurant. It is said that Wang Lu had a competition with the Earth Immortal in food tasting. As a result, he forced the other side to surrender before the competition was over. These dishes were meant to be tasted by them, but now could only be given away free of charge.”

After listening to Shu Si's explanation, the Dead Face said, ”You mean, Wang Lu himself had made his move?”

Shu Si began to eat a dessert vaguely said, ”Not that he personally did it, it's just that he found a god of fight from the Western Continent, who is said to be a woman but has the real power of a Supreme… The cultivators around me just said it casually, so I couldn't quite understand. But all in all, Wang Lu won, and now everyone is celebrating the victory. Many shops are offering discounts… but my capital is limited, so I couldn't afford them.”

After a while, when he saw there was no response from the Dead Face, Shu Si asked, ”But, is there a need for such a celebration? This is just one win, and in a trivial food tasting competition, which only has twenty points. The fighting competition that resulted in a loss not long ago has more than fifty points.”

The Dead Face said in a cold voice, ”Ignorant kid! This victory is only the beginning, it would be used by Wang Lu to pave the way for the final battle.”

”Pave the way before the final battle?” Shu Si's cheeks bulged and he revealed a puzzled face.

”Humph, it's just a waste of time explaining it to you… Next, Wang Lu would continue to repeat the small victory like today. He himself would not appear, but instead would push people around him one by one and without exception they all would win. If you want, you could take advantage of that, but that is not important… Little Mouse, remember, if there's news that Wang Lu wants to personally appear to compete, you must promptly inform me, no matter what I am doing at that time. If you forget, I'll let taste the pain.”

Shu Si's whole body shivered. ”Hey, hey, hey, Dead Face, we're already so familiar with each other, why do you need to threaten me? When was the time I failed to do what you told me? Alright, I'll let you know as long as Wang Lu personally make his move okay? Pfff, unexpectedly you're also a fan of Wang Lu…”

Before he finished talking, however, Shu Si felt his tongue numb and couldn't say a word. This was the most used trick of Dead Face when Shu Si was being noisy. Realizing this, Shu Si grinned, made a face. He didn't take it seriously and began to concentrate on the delicacies in front of him.

The Dead Face was not in a hurry to eat—in fact, Shu Si never saw him really in a hurry to do anything—but was fiddling with a copper coin in his hand.

Shu Si suddenly became interested—after living with the Dead Face for so long, he knew it was his divination trick, the accuracy was unknown, however—because he would never tell what he was divining. However, Shu Si was still very interested in the result of his divination.

The Dead Face threw the copper coin into the air nine times in a row, and all of the results was the Head! Shu Si looked at it with gusto, but by the tenth time, the Dead Face actually covered the result with his hand, not allowing Shu Si to see it.
