Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Faced with Su Mo's invitation, Tang Wulin, the number one foodie at Donghai Academy, readily agreed.

Gu Yue frowned slightly, looked Su Mo up and down as if to confirm something, and finally nodded gently in agreement.

After everyone agreed, Su Mo led a large group of people toward the East Sea Academy's cafeteria.

However, when Su Mo and his classmates arrived at the cafeteria, it was right at the peak time when other classes were ending.

The huge restaurant was bustling with noise, the air filled with the aroma of food and noisy laughter, so lively it almost seemed to lift the roof off.

Perhaps because the small restaurants near the school hadn't opened yet on the first day of school, the restaurant was packed with people.

Looking around, the long tables and corners were all full of people, and even the seats near the windows were all taken.

Let alone a group of people sitting together to eat, it is extremely difficult to even find a seat by oneself.

This crowded scene was something that even Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue, three regulars at the cafeteria, had never encountered before.

"Junior, over here, over here!!!"

As Su Mo and his group were looking around in the crowd searching for a spot, a clear and excited female voice suddenly came from the second floor.

Su Mo looked up and saw Mu Xi.

At this moment, Mu Xi leaned out, waving her hands frantically at Su Mo with a bright smile, as if afraid that Su Mo would not see her.

Mu Xi never expected to run into Su Mo at school on the first day of school. She had originally planned to go to Su Mo's house to find him after school.

Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Mu Xi, Su Mo led Tang Wulin and the others upstairs without hesitation.

"Good afternoon, senior sister/senior sister Ouyang!"

From a distance, Tang Wulin greeted Mu Xi and the purple-haired girl sitting opposite her.

"Junior brother, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing Tang Wulin, Mu Xi responded enthusiastically.

Although she and Tang Wulin had had unpleasant conflicts in the past, their relationship had improved considerably since Tang Wulin was taken in as a disciple by his father.

"Junior, aren't you afraid of gaining weight from eating so much?"

Seeing Tang Wulin carrying a huge pile of food on both large and small plates, the purple-haired girl teased him with a smile.

Faced with Ouyang Zixin's teasing, Tang Wulin's face instantly turned bright red. He was so flustered that he almost dropped his chopsticks and stammered, "Senior Ouyang, please stop teasing me."

Tang Wulin's shy demeanor startled Su Mo; this was the first time Su Mo had ever seen Tang Wulin show such an expression.

"Is Tang Wulin falling for someone?"

Su Mo couldn't help but think to herself.

If Tang Wulin really does fall in love, I might be able to do something shady here.

When Xie Xie saw Tang Wulin's reaction, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent.

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't familiar with this senior student Ouyang, he would have already started yelling.

Even so, Xie Xie was determined to interrogate Tang Wulin thoroughly when he got back.

Gu Yue, who was standing to the side, frowned subconsciously when she saw Tang Wulin stammering, but in the end she didn't say anything.

As for Xu Xiaoyan?

Her attention was entirely focused on Mu Xi, and she didn't notice Tang Wulin's strange behavior at all.

"Junior, what brings you to the cafeteria for lunch today?"

As soon as Su Mo sat down, Mu Xi couldn't wait to ask, her eyes filled with excitement and curiosity.

"We just finished the entrance exams, and it's lunchtime."

As Su Mo answered slowly and deliberately, he picked up a tender squid tentacle with his chopsticks and chewed it slowly, looking just like a noble young master.

"Really? What a coincidence!"

Mu Xi smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescent moons.

Then, as if remembering something, Mu Xi leaned closer mysteriously and lowered her voice, saying, "Junior, let me tell you, my cooking skills have improved a lot recently. Just wait, I'll definitely let you try my new recipes this weekend!"

During her month in Tiandou City, Mu Xi spent her days either forging or learning to cook from Mu Ye, a top-level chef.

Under Mu Ye's guidance, Mu Xi felt that her cooking skills had reached their peak.

On her way back from Tiandou City, she specially bought a large amount of highly nutritious and valuable food to prepare for Su Mo to have a good nourishing meal.

"Mu Xi, aren't you going to introduce this junior to us?"

Ouyang Zixin rested her chin on her hand, her eyes darting back and forth between Mu Xi and Su Mo, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

"That's right!"

Mu Xi then realized what was happening, her pretty face flushing slightly as she hurriedly put down her chopsticks. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Mo, her tone brimming with undisguised pride and intimacy, "This is the junior I mentioned to you, Su Mo!"

"It was my junior who saved me back in the Spirit Pagoda."

"A formidable rival, a formidable rival!"

Seeing Mu Xi's smug look, Xu Xiaoyan immediately felt alarmed and mentally marked Mu Xi as a formidable rival.

"oh--"

Ouyang Zixin drawled out her words, a smile playing on her lips, "No wonder you keep talking about it all the time, it turns out it was about a hero saving a damsel in distress."

"I didn't, junior, please don't listen to Zixin's nonsense."

Mu Xi, whose secrets had been exposed, blushed with anxiety and almost dropped her chopsticks, waving her hands hastily to explain.

The more flustered Mu Xi became, the deeper Ouyang Zixin's smile grew, as if she had seen through everything.

"Hello, my name is Ouyang Zixin, and I'm Xiaoxi's best friend."

As Ouyang Zixin spoke, she reached out her hand to Su Mo.

"Su Mo!"

Su Mo politely shook hands with Ouyang Zixin.

Tang Wulin stared wide-eyed as Su Mo held his delicate hand.

"I haven't even held your hand yet."

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Tang Wulin immediately decided to channel his anger into food and began to eat voraciously.

Lunchtime ended quickly. Since Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin had another class in the afternoon, they said goodbye and left the restaurant.

As soon as Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin left, Xie Xie couldn't wait to ask, "Wu Lin, tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Senior Ouyang?"

Tang Wulin blushed and stammered, "It's nothing, we were just doing morning exercises together."

Tang Wulin's words immediately revealed a clue to Xie Xie: "No wonder you get up so early every day to run exercises, it's all for Senior Ouyang!"

"No way!"

Tang Wulin's face flushed red when his little scheme was exposed, and he tried his best to defend himself, "I just wanted to train."

"cut!"

Seeing Tang Wulin stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake, Xie Xie rolled his eyes in exasperation and said irritably, "Ask Su Mo and Gu Yue if they believe your explanation."

Upon hearing that Xie Xie had dragged her into this, Gu Yue remained silent, only giving Xie Xie a cold glare.

In the past, she would definitely have had a dark expression because of this.

But ever since she learned this morning that Tang Wulin had broken through four levels using the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, she suddenly realized that Na'er's encounter with Tang Wulin was not just because of the attraction of the bloodlines of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings.
