Chapter 110 A Picky but Gluttonous Dragon
The rain didn't stop until two hours later, and by then the sky above the valley was already bright compared to the moment the rules in the book were implemented.
Yan Huai estimated the time; it should be 7 a.m. He wondered how things were going with Black Glasses and Xie Lianrui.
Picking up Zhang Qiling, Yan Huai originally intended to fly away as he had come, but smoke was already rising several kilometers away, proving that people did indeed live in this place. So, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he chose to leave on foot.
Of course, unlike walking in the general sense, Yan Huai's walking is so slow that even a shadow is hard to catch. A gust of wind makes more noise than him, so even if he walks past the villagers, they won't notice anything amiss.
Just after Yan Huai and Zhang Qiling left, a strange noise suddenly came from the ravine where they had been.
The rustling sound continued, but if Yan Huai were here, he would definitely recognize it as the sound of the tentacles that had appeared in Zhang Qiling's sea of consciousness.
Several dark red tentacles surged and emerged from the ground, as if carrying the frenzied emotions of a living person. They gathered together a few pieces of soil stained with Yan Huai's blood, then held them like precious treasures, before plunging them back into the earth, leaving no trace...
Yan Huai, who had already set off back to Beijing, was completely unaware of all this. His journey had been smooth, but now, standing in an empty alley, he thought for a moment and decided to move Zhang Qiling, who was in front of him, onto his back.
"Ba Gao—Liang Fen Er—"
"Come on, some sour and spicy cold noodles, and some fish-shaped noodles, sour and spicy at the same time!"
"Ma Doufu (fermented bean curd) - Ma Doufu -"
"Wontons, open the pot!"
As he walked out of the alley, the bustling activity on both sides of the road became clearer, and the aromas that wafted into his nose grew closer and closer with the shouts. Yan Huai shamelessly joined in, after all, he hadn't had a proper meal for at least four days since leaving Banna Village.
Even though he ate there once or twice during his time in the small courtyard, it was only because Hei Yanjing took pity on Yan Huai that he made those two meals of stir-fried rice with green peppers and shredded pork. The rest of the time, it was all sweet soy milk and fried dough sticks. Yan Huai was not Xie Lianrui, and these foods did not whet his appetite at all.
What Yan Huai found even more regrettable was that A Gui and Yun Cai from Banna Village seemed to have excellent cooking skills, but the delicious food they were about to enjoy vanished without a trace due to the arrival of their own family members. After thinking about it, it must have been the Wang family members who arrived later who benefited.
"Boss lady, please, three servings of cold noodles, please!" Yan Huai glanced at the portions ordered by the customers at the stall table and decided that he could easily take three servings himself.
"Alright! Young man, please have a seat."
The stall was run by a woman in her forties, who always had a friendly smile on her face. Yan Huai hadn't met many kind people, but he had a good impression of her, so...
"Boss lady, could you pack it up and take it with me?"
Yan Huai smiled innocently without realizing it, his long hair gently brushing against his face, softening the sharp angles of his features. His eyes were clear and genuine, making it hard to refuse such a beautiful sight.
"Huh? Oh, okay, okay!" The proprietress under the umbrella was momentarily stunned, but once she came to her senses, she agreed without hesitation. "I happen to have a porcelain bowl here, let me fill it up for you! Should the seasonings be packed separately?"
"Pack them separately, please! Thank you, boss lady!" Yan Huai felt that his current fawning demeanor and tone of voice were completely abnormal. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized, "Why the hell is this a bit like Black Glasses' shameless behavior?!"
