The moment Tuoba Xi's expression shifted—from shock, to hesitation, to firm resolve—Hu Liena's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
Success.
She exchanged a glance with Yan and Xie Yue.
Three sly foxes.
Three sparkling eyes.
Operation "Lure Another Elder" — perfect execution.
Just then, the simple kitchen curtain lifted.
A figure walked out with unhurried steps.
Lin Feng.
A wooden tray rested on his hands, carrying several dishes as exquisite as art pieces—the ones Spirit Kite Douluo had ordered earlier.
As he emerged, his calm gaze casually swept across the room.
When it passed over Hu Liena, Yan, Xie Yue… and the dignified elder beside them… his eyelids paused for half a heartbeat.
Oh?
A soft, inward chuckle rose within Lin Feng.
Not bad at all.
These three little brats were really getting skilled.
They'd actually reeled in another Titled Douluo-level walking money tree this quickly.
Still, his outward expression remained perfectly unbothered.
Step by step, steady and quiet, Lin Feng made his way to Spirit Kite Douluo's table.
As he approached, the already intoxicating aroma surged like a tidal wave—so dense it felt almost tangible. Spirit Kite Douluo nearly lost control from just breathing it in.
He placed each dish before her with fluid, clean movements.
"Please enjoy."
Soft words, not loud—yet the calm in his voice slipped into everyone's minds like a soothing breeze.
Spirit Kite Douluo's so-called Titled Douluo dignity instantly evaporated.
She dragged the plate of Phoenix Marrow Hundred-Ingredient Dry Noodles toward herself, grabbed the chopsticks, and scooped a generous tangle of noodles.
The moment they touched her tongue—
Boom.
An explosion of flavor detonated at the center of her soul.
The noodles bounced between her teeth with a lively springiness.
The sauce—layered, complex, impossibly rich—crashed over her again and again like waves slamming against a cliff.
"Mmm—!"
Her eyes widened.
Her expression went slack with bliss.
Her level 93 spirit power actually began cheering under the overwhelming food energy.
Next, she lifted the translucent, feather-like Thousand Tribulation Nirvana Pastry.
One bite.
Crunch.
The crispy shell shattered cleanly, and a rush of pure, surging energy erupted inside, spreading through her entire body like liquid fire.
Then came the Ice-Flame Vermillion Bird Wing.
The scorching heat—
The piercing cold—
The collision of extremes made tears spill from her eyes.
Delicious didn't even begin to cover it.
This wasn't food—it was salvation.
Spirit Kite Douluo lifted her flushed, messy face, eyes shining with life-altering gratitude.
She didn't even glance at Lin Feng.
Instead, she stared straight at Chrysanthemum Douluo, beaming.
"Yue Guan!"
Her voice trembled.
"I forgive you! No—I thank you! It was worth it that you damaged my belongings!"
Witnessing this scene, Tuoba Xi felt his worldview shatter again.
He couldn't hold back anymore.
"Order food!"
He drew in a deep breath, trying to maintain Elder-level composure.
"Order anything the children want—Grandpa Tuoba is treating today!"
His heroic declaration seemed ready to buy out the entire menu.
But Xie Yue, ever calm, stepped forward.
He leaned to Tuoba Xi's ear and whispered something quietly.
When the words sank in, Tuoba Xi froze.
He looked at Xie Yue…
Then at Devil Bear Douluo—who was still crying and burping with bliss—
Then at the table with only two or three empty plates.
A dignified level 94 Titled Douluo… eating so little?
Impossible.
Tuoba Xi coughed, awkwardly withdrawing his hand.
"Ahem. In that case, this old man will… order like a normal person."
"As for you youngsters… since you can't order anymore today, I'll treat you another time."
While he was still trying to regain composure, Devil Bear Douluo slowly let out a long breath—one that somehow smelled delicious too.
He set down his chopsticks with reverence, as though placing a weapon before his master.
Then he stood, wiped his mouth, and strode toward Lin Feng.
Gone was his usual barbaric aura.
Every step looked as careful as stepping on sacred ground.
"Senior."
His voice trembled with respect.
"I learned that you do not accept gold cards… so I brought cash."
He took out a heavy money bag as if presenting a treasure.
Thirty-eight thousand gold coins.
He set the bag on the counter with extreme care—practically bowing.
"Please inspect it, Senior."
Lin Feng didn't even look up.
Didn't glance at the bag.
To him, thirty-eight thousand gold coins was no more meaningful than pebbles by the roadside.
"Mm."
A soft sound.
And the money bag vanished.
The entire process looked like he merely brushed away a dust mote.
Devil Bear Douluo's heart leapt into his throat.
He bowed even deeper, not daring to breathe too loudly.
In Lin Feng's mind, the system chimed:
"Ding! Expenditure: 38,000 gold coins."
"Evaluation: This stupid bear is quite sensible. Barely counts as a high-quality leek. A decent reward can be given."
"Reward: 50,000-year Spirit Bone — Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Arm External Bone."
"Host reward: 3,800 Food Points."
Lin Feng's heart skipped.
Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?
And an external spirit bone?!
For once, the system didn't scam him.
But on the outside, Lin Feng lazily yawned as if bored.
Everyone stared at him—especially Tuoba Xi, whose eyes were practically burning holes through the air.
He wanted to see this "great opportunity" the juniors spoke of.
Lin Feng lifted his gaze, voice soft yet clear:
"Your luck is pretty good."
Devil Bear Douluo's breath caught—
Lin Feng continued calmly:
"The reward is… a Spirit Bone."
