Long Aotian's eyes turned cold when he saw the message.
Someone still wanted to harm his master?
They must have grown bold enough to eat bear bile and leopard gall, seeking death.
Subsequently, Long Aotian quickly caught up with Xia Feng and respectfully called out, "Master, there's something regarding you that I need to report."
Xia Feng turned his head and asked, "Is it about the reclusive families?"
Long Aotian was stunned upon hearing this and asked, "Master, you already know?"
Xia Feng nodded and pointed at Lin Yuwei and Dongfang Lingyu. Long Aotian immediately understood.
So, these two girls had come to deliver the news. After this incident, Long Aotian looked at them with newfound respect.
After all, traveling such a long distance to deliver news was a gesture of friendship.
"Master, what is the cultivation level of these reclusive family members? Are they dangerous?" Long Aotian asked, now concerned.
Just the name "reclusive families" made them sound extraordinary.
Concern often led to rashness, and everyone was like that.
"Don't worry too much. Let them come," Xia Feng waved his hand and said.
"Okay." Long Aotian quickly agreed. With Xia Feng's assurance, he felt relieved.
The four of them entered the restaurant and ordered four signature dishes, along with a plate of vegetables and a bowl of soup, totaling six dishes.
"It smells so good." After the dishes were served, Dongfang Lingyu sniffed the air and said with a smile.
They had been cultivating in the mountains for years, mainly eating simple meals. Meat was also just boiled and eaten, and they rarely had high demands for food.
As long as it could fill their stomachs was enough. Even if the ingredients were delicacies, without proper preparation, they were tasteless.
"Eat more if you like it. We can order more if you're not full," Xia Feng said with a smile, looking at Dongfang Lingyu's greedy expression.
"Mhm, okay." Dongfang Lingyu nodded.
After three dishes were served, Xia Feng picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."
"Alright, let's dig in!" Dongfang Lingyu had no regard for being a lady and started eating directly, completely unconcerned about her image.
About half an hour later, everyone was full, especially Dongfang Lingyu, who had enjoyed a hearty lunch with great gusto.
Afterward, she patted her little belly, feeling very satisfied.
"Cousin, life outside is truly wonderful," Dongfang Lingyu whispered to Lin Yuwei.
She had never experienced such a life before.
It was simply paradise.
"Alright, come back to the mountain with me after this is settled," Lin Yuwei glanced at her.
"Cousin, why don't we just not go back?" Dongfang Lingyu tugged at Lin Yuwei and whispered.
"No," Lin Yuwei shook her head.
Dongfang Lingyu, finding no amusement, followed Xia Feng, who was walking out.
Back at the villa, Xia Feng looked at Xia Lin and said, "Lin'er, arrange rooms for them to stay for a few days."
"Okay." Xia Lin nodded.
They knew these two people; they had met them before at the cultivators'大会.
However, the moment Dongfang Lingyu and Qin Wen met, they glared at each other, clearly disliking one another.
They had argued before, and now Dongfang Lingyu had walked right into it.
Xia Lin led the two upstairs to arrange their rooms. Zheng Qingya walked up to Qin Wen and asked, "Do you know that little sister?"
Dongfang Lingyu had only recently come of age, so it wasn't unreasonable for Zheng Qingya to call her a little sister.
"I've met her once. She's young but very cunning," Qin Wen nodded.
"You two looked like you were enemies," Zheng Qingya chuckled.
"Not at all, I wouldn't stoop to her level," Qin Wen shook her head.
In the villa's backyard, the National Little King was feeding Dou Dou a chicken drumstick, with Yu Wei squatting nearby watching.
"Wang Shao, what breed is this dog? I've never seen it before. It doesn't seem like a dog," Yu Wei observed Dou Dou curiously.
"What dog? Call him Big Brother," the National Little King glanced at Yu Wei.
"Uh... isn't this female?"
Yu Wei was somewhat speechless.
"Aren't you Big Brother?"
"Big Brother of舔狗 number one, are you going to give up your position?"
"Yu Fatty, you better not underestimate it. Taking your life would be as easy as playing with mud," Qin Dou said with a smile from the side.
Yu Wei clearly didn't believe him. "Are you kidding me? Even at my worst, I wouldn't be killed by a little dog, right?"
Seeing Yu Wei's disdainful look, the National Little King said, "Calling it Big Brother is a term of respect; it has nothing to do with gender. Also, Young Master Qin is exaggerating a bit."
Yu Wei quickly nodded and said, "Exactly, a ridiculous comparison."
The National Little King shook his head and said, "No, you've misunderstood me. I mean it would be no different for it to swat you dead than for me to swat a mosquito right now."
"With your capabilities, do you still want to be mud?"
"How many times can mud withstand being played with?"
Yu Wei: (acute;Д(︶︹︺)
Yu Wei was speechless. They were all boastful.
"Why don't you blow it up to the heavens?"
"This little dog here, it can fight a hundred opponents without even breaking a sweat."
Just then, Jack Ma walked over, holding a roasted pig's trotters, and handed it to the National Little King, saying, "This is for Dou Dou."
The National Little King nodded and took the pig's trotters.
After Jack Ma left, Yu Wei looked at Dou Dou, puzzled. "Can this little thing eat so much food?"
"This dog is really quite peculiar, eating so much," Yu Wei leaned closer to observe Dou Dou for a while.
"I wasn't bluffing. If you stand too far away and annoy it, you'll die for nothing," the National Little King pushed Yu Wei and then handed the pig's trotters to Dou Dou, saying, "Here, Big Brother, eat the pig's trotters."
"Everyone online says you're a dog lover. You truly love them to the extreme," Yu Wei said, truly impressed by the National Little King practically worshipping the dog.
He thought there must be a reason why he hadn't become a qualified舔狗 yet.
In this regard alone, he felt he was inferior to these few.
The National Little King turned around and looked at Yu Wei, saying, "Do you remember what I told you before?"
"What did you say?" Yu Wei asked subconsciously.
"Ignorance is truly terrifying," the National Little King said.
Yu Wei pondered for a moment. When the National Little King first started fawning over Xia Lin, he couldn't understand it. At that time, the National Little King had told him in the group chat: "Your level isn't high enough; you can't understand. Ignorance is truly terrifying."
Now that the National Little King brought this up again, Yu Wei subconsciously looked at Dou Dou, who was gnawing on the pig's trotters.
"Could this dog have some extraordinary qualities?"
Yu Wei looked at Dou Dou's small body and couldn't fathom anything special about it.
"Perhaps it's Lin'er's dog, and I love her because I love her dog."
"Alright, Brother Dou, eat slowly. We're leaving now," the National Little King said and got up to leave.
Dou Dou ignored them entirely, continuing to gnaw on the pig's trotters.
"Let's go. Why are you still standing here?" the National Little King called out to the dazed Yu Wei.
"Oh, okay." Yu Wei looked back twice as he walked away.
"To lick or not to lick?"
