Chapter 289: Devil Chef
The direction of the upcoming battle was already very clear. Just relying on Hu Liena and Xie Yue alone directly swept the Imperial Fighting Team out of the competition.
Until the end, Ling Mo didn’t see Dugu Yan use her Poison Fire, which made him feel a bit regretful.
It seemed… she had perfectly inherited Dugu Bo’s fine tradition. Knowing she couldn’t win, there was no need to waste energy.
Ling Mo quite agreed with this point. As long as she wasn’t injured, winning or losing didn’t matter.
Today’s match was extremely exciting, leaving everyone shocked to the core.
If the match between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Academy wasn’t shocking enough.
Then, the appearance of the full main force of the Spirit Hall Academy Team gave people a feeling of overwhelming advantage, crushing the other seed team, the Imperial Fighting Team, out of the competition in a crushing manner, which was shocking enough.
No one would doubt their strength anymore, and no one would think about these things.
So far, aside from Shrek Academy, no other team was dreaming of the champion anymore.
In this tournament, Spirit Hall’s team was truly too shocking.
People were also looking forward to seeing what kind of exciting battle would happen when Shrek Academy faced Spirit Hall next.
Unfortunately, they might not have the chance to see this battle.
Because the final two rounds of the finals were held in the Pope’s Palace, and… the audience seats were not open to the public. Therefore… only the four advancing teams could enter the remaining finals.
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament had now reached this point and could be considered to have entered its finale.
Those who remained were undoubtedly the strongest among the young Soul Masters.
“Alright! It’s getting late, time to go back…”
With the day’s matches concluded, Ling Mo gradually felt bored.
“Okay! Take care, my little cutie…”
Qian Renxue said playfully. She couldn’t leave with Ling Mo because… her identity was special.
“Hehe, you little vixen, getting more and more naughty! When we get back, I’ll have to discipline you properly…”
“Hmph, who disciplines whom is still uncertain…”
Qian Renxue showed no weakness at all, subtly giving Ling Mo the middle finger before slipping away immediately.
Leaving Ling Mo alone, disheveled in the wind.
“It’s over, this woman has learned bad habits! Whoever taught her, I’ll kill him…”
Ling Mo looked depressed. He then said goodbye to Dugu Bo and left.
Tomorrow were the semifinals, where they would draw lots. If there were no accidents, Shrek Academy’s opponent should be Divine Wind Academy.
To be honest, Ling Mo was quite surprised that Divine Wind Academy made it to the semifinals.
He hadn’t expected Feng Xiaotian to have some real skills. It wasn’t in vain that Ling Mo had put in so much effort to recruit him to Ghost Gate.
With his performance, in just a few years, he could completely become an inner hall elder in Ghost Gate.
Besides Divine Wind Academy and Shrek Academy, all fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Competition Area had been eliminated.
Among them, the first to be eliminated was Blazing Fire Academy, because they withdrew in their first match.
Back at the hotel, Ling Mo headed straight to Zhu Zhuqing’s room. As soon as he entered, he saw her lying on the bed sleeping.
It seemed she was exhausted today, going to sleep so early without even doing any bedtime exercise. Sigh, what a pity…
“You’re back!”
At this moment, the room door opened, and Ning Rongrong came in with some food, saying obediently.
“Yo, so considerate of me, knowing I haven’t eaten and personally bringing it over…”
Ling Mo was delighted at the sight and reached out to take it.
“Get lost! This isn’t for you. This is what I saved for Zhu Qing. If you want to eat, go get it yourself!”
“Wow… that’s too much!”
Ling Mo was on the verge of tears. He had thought this was prepared for him. It was really too much.
“Hehe, call me Grandmother and I’ll go get some for you…”
Ning Rongrong said playfully, her eyes hiding a gleam of delight.
“Hmph, I’d rather starve to death here today or jump out the window than eat a single bite from you…”
A man of seven feet tall, how could he bow for half a measure of grain, let alone call someone Grandmother? Ling Mo couldn’t accept such humiliation.
“You said it yourself! Don’t regret it…”
After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she gently patted Zhu Zhuqing to wake her up.
“Zhu Qing, eat something! You’ve slept all day, have some food to replenish your nutrition…”
Watching her gently open those boxes, revealing the fragrant meal inside, Ling Mo couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
This subtle change was completely caught by someone’s eyes.
“Pfft… hungry, aren’t you? I made this myself…”
Ning Rongrong said playfully.
It was as if she was showing off something. At this moment, how could a proud man submit?
“Not hungry! I’m not hungry…”
Having just boasted, how could he give in? Ling Mo refused to admit it even to the death.
Zhu Zhuqing woke up tiredly, sitting up from the bed and lazily stretching, looking like her mental state was pretty good.
“Eat together!”
Seeing Ling Mo swallowing saliva on the side, Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t bear it and said gently.
“Hehe, my Zhu Qing treasure still cares about me…”
Since Zhu Zhuqing had spoken, what was there to worry about face? Besides, this was made by Ning Rongrong, and Ling Mo hadn’t tried her cooking yet.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t eat? Earlier you said you’d rather starve to death or jump out the window than eat what I made…”
Ning Rongrong said amusedly, though her eyes were still very happy. This was her first time cooking, and she didn’t know if it tasted good.
Being able to cook for the man she loved was such a happy thing.
“Zhu Qing told me to eat! It’s not like I wanted to…”
While quibbling, Ling Mo picked up chopsticks, clamped a piece of meat and ate it. Instantly, the atmosphere quieted down.
Silence…
Eerily quiet!
Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled and confused, while Ning Rongrong looked expectant, as if eagerly awaiting Ling Mo’s praise next.
But from the expression on Ling Mo’s face, it was clear whether this thing was tasty or not.
“Rongrong, you… is this your first time cooking?”
Ling Mo asked uncertainly, his face ashen, as if he had been poisoned.
“Yeah, right! Is it good?”
Ning Rongrong didn’t notice anything wrong and looked at Ling Mo expectantly.
“Cough cough, why don’t you try it?”
This life was unlivable. If he had to eat this stuff every day from now on, Ling Mo’s lifespan would probably shorten by half, and life would lose all joy.
“Not good? Let me try…”
Zhu Zhuqing said puzzledly, picking up chopsticks. Before Ling Mo could stop her, she had already eaten.
Instantly… the atmosphere quieted again. Ning Rongrong looked puzzled. Why did both of them have this expression after eating?
Could it really be bad? Or was it so good that they had this expression?
“Cough cough, Rongrong, tell me, is this really your first time cooking?”
Zhu Zhuqing asked again the question Ling Mo had asked earlier, making Ning Rongrong even more puzzled.
“Yeah! I just learned today…”
Ning Rongrong said seriously. Then, she tried a bite herself.
As soon as it entered her mouth, she spat it out directly.
“Pah pah pah, what is this? It’s so bad!”
Finally thinking about it, it seemed to be something she made herself. Her face instantly turned beet red.
