Sixteen Titled Douluos stared fixedly at Lin Feng.
At this moment, they were not Spirit Hall's pillars.
They were the most loyal blades of Feng Ran Pavilion—sharp, cold, and ready to strike.
But Lin Feng's reaction to this world-shaking killing intent…
was entirely beyond their expectations.
He slowly swept his gaze across the room.
And in the end—
He only sighed.
A soft, gentle sigh.
Yet it landed like a hammer on the hearts of every Titled Douluo present.
Bibi Dong's heart jumped.
Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed.
Because inside that sigh…
was disappointment.
Had they done something wrong?
Lin Feng finally spoke, voice calm yet tinged with a weary melancholy.
"I'll ask you all."
"This place of mine—what is it?"
Everyone was stunned.
But before they could answer—
"I run a restaurant," Lin Feng said.
"Not a slaughterhouse for ambushes and exterminations."
His tone was casual, but every Titled Douluo felt their cheeks burn.
"That little girl merely said some ignorant words."
"Did she cause any real harm, any real threat to me? To my Pavilion? To my staff?"
"And yet you want to kill, massacre, erase her entire family over words."
"Is that appropriate?"
Silence.
Sixteen Titled Douluos were collectively stunned.
Harm?
Threat?
…There really wasn't any.
Just then, Lin Feng's tone changed slightly—like an elder lecturing stubborn children.
"Furthermore—hearts so easily provoked…"
"How can you ever reach a higher realm?"
This single sentence slammed into Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong like ice water.
Their killing intent evaporated instantly.
Yes.
What level was this Senior at?
With a wave of his hand, he could rewrite spirits and bend the laws of reality.
Such an existence had long transcended petty grudges and old feuds.
And they had actually… tried to interpret his thoughts with crude slaughter?
Ridiculous.
Laughable.
Qian Daoliu bowed deeply, his proud head lowered.
"This junior… was too shallow."
Even Bibi Dong's frosty eyes softened into reflection.
She instantly understood.
The Senior wasn't protecting Ning Fengzhi's family.
He was using their foolishness to enlighten them.
Killing intent, impatience, anger—
these were all inner demons.
As long as one could not conquer them…
one could never take the next step.
Every word and action of the Senior—
contained the path to the highest realm.
Such a realm…
they could not even reach by gazing up.
Lin Feng looked at the group of Titled Douluos who were suddenly filled with "epiphany" and mentally facepalmed.
Enlightenment? Realm?
What enlightenment?!
I'm trying to protect my income!
Exterminate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?!
Are you insane?
That's two Titled Douluo-tier premium leeks!
Ning Fengzhi is the richest man on the continent!
Do you know how rare high-value customers are?!
I scared them today purely to amuse this stupid system.
And you want to wipe out my cash cows?!
Are you trying to shut down my restaurant?!
Do I still need to earn points or not?!
While the Titled Douluos were silently worshipping him…
the atmosphere in the restaurant reached a sacred level.
Until—
Burp~
A small, soft belch shattered the solemn, elevated mood.
Everyone turned.
Their eyes landed on—
Qian Renxue.
The Crown Prince of Heaven Dou.
Slumped in her chair like a melted cream puff.
All elegance gone.
Her delicate face flushed with satisfaction.
Golden eyes dazed, unfocused, still drowning in delicious afterglow.
A few strands of her golden hair clung to her forehead with sweat.
Her lips glistened with a ring of sauce that reflected under the light…
And her abdomen had a noticeable round bulge.
Chrysanthemum Douluo silently looked away.
"This way of eating… truly…"
He dared not say the word "crude."
Qian Renxue didn't notice anyone staring.
She just caressed her full belly, lost in a single regretful thought—
That golden chamber pot…
I really shouldn't have thrown it away.
Snake Lance was right.
It was pure gold!
If I'd melted it down…
at least it could buy another plate of fried noodles!
But more importantly—
This restaurant…
Only allowed one meal a day?!
Only one?!
Impossible!
Unacceptable!
Her stomach, her soul, her entire being had been reshaped by Senior's cooking.
She wanted it.
She wanted it every day.
Every. Single. Moment.
Under everyone's stunned gazes—
the Crown Prince, who'd been mentally calling Bibi Dong a spendthrift moments earlier—
suddenly shot to her feet, nearly knocking her chair over.
Her face flushed red, sauce still on her lips.
Her golden eyes burned with desperate resolve.
"Senior!"
Her voice cracked with urgency.
"I want the monthly package too!"
PAUSE.
The entire restaurant froze.
Qian Daoliu nearly coughed up his last breath.
Sixteen Titled Douluos turned into statues.
You what?!
Qian Renxue took another step closer, afraid he would refuse.
"Even… even if I can only draw once per day, it's fine!"
"As long as I can be like her!"
She pointed straight at—
Bibi Dong.
Who gently sipped her tea.
Her hand paused.
Barely perceptible.
But her phoenix eyes lifted, looking at her daughter with a strange mix of surprise…
and amusement.
Lin Feng leaned back lazily, barely raising an eyelid.
"You?"
A single word.
Full of doubt.
Qian Renxue panicked.
She thought he was questioning her wealth.
"Senior, don't worry!"
She straightened her back proudly.
"Last night, I robbed— cough— I took half of Heaven Dou Empire's treasury!"
"As long as you agree…"
"All of it—
I will offer to you!"
THUNK.
Qian Daoliu slammed into his chair, clutching his chest.
Half of Heaven Dou's treasury!!
That's not half a cart of cabbages!!
The Spirit Hall treasury still needed replenishing!
And you—
Just like your mother—
You immediately squander the national treasury on a monthly meal plan?!
The entire restaurant had one collective thought:
They really are mother and daughter.
Even their spending habits—
were carved from the same mold.
